Don't make stupid statements like this. It goes to show your intelligence and that you are an instigator. With statements like that you will alienate EB3 more. BTW, I contributed to DC advocacy and many other EB3s also did the same. That money apparently seemed to have have helped EB2 and not EB3.
Regarding you comment on action, many IV leaders are EB3.
I am not sure your point will be taken seriously by anyone with this kind of language. If you didn't mean to be taken seriously, then well... you are right on point. You all must have read the thread EB2-EB3 predictions. The thread is most popular for the very reason that members refrained from such language.
Coming to this thread, I empathize EB3 position. I guess I would feel the same if spillover was helping EB2 all along and recently changed to help another category. So, how do you get everyone to support any initiative that will surely hurt the other half.
Since Spillover rules are left to USCIS for interpretation, whatever way they interpret, it is sure to hurt one or the other category. So, why not concentrate on action items which unites us all, rather than dividing us, like VISA recapture, abolishing country quota, not using quota against dependents etc. Think about it.

Hi guys,
With all the news floating around about the VISAs getting exhausted in early July on one side and having an employer who does not seem too eager to apply for I485 since past two months, how does one deal with it ?
I wish all this was a little less complicated..:confused:

Thanks vbkris77. That is what I am saying.
There is no references in INA showing EB dependents must be counted in EB quota. period.
INA doesn't talk about visa allocation for spouse and children in employment pref. So we need to atleast challenge CIS interpretation on this.

What pisses me off is that there are 220,000 visa numbers every year for family based GCs while skilled immigrants get only 140,000. Nothing wrong with immigrants wanting to bring immediate family members but this is causing nothing but chain migration. I think USA give more GCs to cab drivers than skilled immigrants.
That is one of the curses of democracy. Politicians favor vote banks. After all what they care about is the votes.

I think more than anything we need organization. We need group of volunteers that focused on different tasks. for example a group of people call congress and follow up and post updates.
group of people lead the flower campaign and anther group wrk on informing the media
there should be a group organize the rally and contact people to sponser.
Again avoid the 21 of july because the media would cover HP book instead of the protest.
here is gazalion post of the same subject.. we need organization
Guys I am looking at this thread for the first time today and want to put some comments:
1) 3 people were making hunger strike at SJSU over the last weekend for DREAM act and we come to know about it thru 1510 AM, KLIVE in Bay Area.
2) Immigration Voice members are planning to make a rally in SJ and we need to read it in the forum of (only) their website.
3) We are hungry about media coverage and want utmost attention of the congressmen about our issues.
BUT, you know what we are missing?:
1) No postings on the windows of those Bharat Bajars and Cash N Carrys and Kumuds. Can't the i-phone designers and router gurus make Ashas and Abhijeets invisible with some eye catching posters?
2) No postings on those other popular websites like murthy.com, immigration-law.com, bata.org etc. Did they say no for this?
3) No usage of the library notice boards.
4) No usage of SMS. Isn't it much cheaper than making contributions to the IV repeatedly?
I hope to see all these channels being utilized fully for July 14/21 march in Bay Area before we talk about CNNs and WPs.
Once the streets of SJ are hit with 1000+ people, those NBCs and CNNs and SJMs will come to us rather than we going to them.
As for myself, I am in whenever the event takes place and will try to bring at least 5 of my friends to the march.
P.S.: This is not an effort to criticize anyone here but just an attempt to help the organizers in whatever way I can.

Here's more information. I only got the receipt numbers. The package arrived at NSC on 7/3 and recieved by R. Williams at 9:03am. My I-140 was approved at TSC last year. I live in NSC area. Receipt numbers started with LIN, so the cases were not transferred to TSC. I hope this means that they're processing the box for 9:03 on 7/3.
Congrats bluesky1!!!
Can you tell us more about your application like RN on receipt? TSC or NSC?

btw, I used word support in the poll to refer "financial support" to IV regarding this clarification issue..
Can you add another question in the poll?
Would you be willing to contribute towards this work? (Hiring a lawyer/FOIA request etc.)

Is it for direct employee or consulting company?
People shouldn't get too panicked. It's not like uscis is denying all cases.
Before it was rare now they are just getting more difficult. California rfe's are a little difficult and unless y you make sloppy mistakes; they generally approve them.
vermont is where they are going above and beyond in scrutinizing cases. Most companies who file through california are used to the issues and have adapted. However; what vermont is doing is fairly new and companies in vermont region are not used to the expectations of that particular service center since they were very easy in the past.

I thinks EB3 INDIA will move between 9/11/2001 to JAN 2004 , because after 9/11 probably few people applied for GreenCrd because of market condition, even h1b quotas are not used for 2002 and 2003, i applied for h1b on 2004 April , no surprise the quota available because of market condition.
This could be dream. I have been waiting for last 4 Yrs to see my date to be current. It took 3 Yrs to move just 6 months. Mine is 12/2001(EB3-India). 2 more months..sorry 2 more years to wait...
I don't blame anyone. EB3 are less educated or less skilled than EB2. America wants Highly educated. They process EB2 first. Any leftovers Visas will be given to EB3 guys. Hence EB3 people have to face long waiting. This is my understanding of how they process EB3...

Supreet:
Based on my extensive research on the topic:
1. You can safely take the 1099 contract offer on EAD. In case of an EVL RFE, your recruiting company (the one giving you paycheck) should be able to give you an EVL. As I've noted below, the job need *not* be "permanent," unlike what others have mentioned on this forum. The EVL needs to only mention your job title, duties, and start date, not salary (unless specifically asked for). You do *not* need to provide any paystubs.
2. For salary received on 1099, you'll file taxes as "self-employed." IRS website has extensive resources on filing as self-employed vs. LLC.
3. Under corp-to-cop arrangement, you need to have a tax ID. Many clients/"bodyshoppers" will only consider a C2C arrangement. You can either do this by setting up your own LLC OR by incorporating (as a C-corp or S-Corp--again refer to IRS website or PM me if you need more info) OR through another corporation (e.g., on someone holding your H1B (you being their W2 employee)--not needed in your case). You can file your taxes as a "Self-employed" on any of these options, and can also claim deductions on job-related expenses (e.g., mileage, travel+lodging if you're traveling out of town)--so these options are monetarily better than being on W2, which is working not as self-employed.
4. You're never needed to "file AC21." First, no USCIS resource mentions procedure for that. Second, you're are *not* required by USCIS to inform them of every job change if you're invoking AC21.
Bottom line: Go ahead with this opportunity on 1099, report this income as "Self-employed," deducting any job-related expenses, and ensure that the recruiting company will give you an EVL *if* needed. I'm *guessing* that if self-employed, you can also write your own EVL (stating start date as your W2-job layoff date and a "projected" yearly income, if asked for). In that case, registering your company with the county (~$20) or opening an LLC (~$400) may help. Last, no need to "file AC21" or inform the USCIS of your job change, since it's not required.
Thanks so much everyone for your replies. I am planning to go for this job, I guess it will be better to be self-employed rather than unemployed.
However, a few follow up questions.
1. I realize on 1099 I will not have any pay stubs or offer letter (as pointed by someone). How can I respond to a Employment Verification RFE? What documentory proof will I need to answer the RFE?
2. If I can get an offer letter for 'Contract to Hire' will that be an appropriate response to any potential EVL RFE? Will it be ok if the full time joing date is say 3 months from now? First 6 months on 1099 and then full time hire?
3. Is it better to go corp-to-corp through another vendor instead of 1099? That way I can have pay stubs/offer letter through a vendor company which will produce my pay stubs (even though I will lose about 20% of my billing rate)?
Just an additional detail, my job duties are going to be exactly same as what was approved on my labor.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Visa Bulletin October 2009 (http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4575.html)
Rolling back dates is so unprofessional :mad: - means those idiots have no idea of how much demand there really is or will be :rolleyes:. This is not a stock price that has to go up or down based on current demand.
Rather than immigration reform. They should clean up USCIS & DOS. get more efficient people in there. Now that the economy is so bad they should be able to get a lot of good people.
Either case, I don't think those Behan Cs at USCIS are going to change the dates for EB3 until they are done going thru all the pending cases. Plus, unless there is searing pain all around there is no need for legislation. So dates rollback maybe a positive sign - a build up for CIR. But who am I kidding?

yes that is true. I did not had any problem with mortgage. Atleast as of today, it is illegal to deny mortgage based on immigration status. If you have any idea of buying a house, it is better to do it before any law changes if at all there is one in the pipeline as you(madhuri) suspect.
It is all how you see your life. Just concentrate your energies on positive stuff you have. This will bring you more energy and most importantly, it will bring more for those who sorrounds you like your family. Peace in family is very important to pursue anything in life and especially career and that too as an immigrant in US without GC.
I bought my house more than 2 years ago and refinanced 2 times. There is no problem in getting a mortgage. Make sure you tell them that you are on H1 and you should have a very good credit rating.

If you have h4 stamp in your passport , you can go out of the country and comeback in and you would be back in h4 status. Short of that I don't see any other option. Ohers please chip in with your ideas.
Don't mean to hijack this thread, but interesting issues raised by desi3933 and would like to get his comments on this from him:
I am in a similar situation...I have been on H1B since Oct�07 and prior to that I was on a valid F1 status. Not been on a client project since mid-Sep'08, have not been paid from past 5 months.
My employer is not helping with either COS to H4 or port H1B to another employer, by not providing REAL paystubs for the past 5 months. I have been actively working with my employer to find new work and I have all evidence of this in emails. I cannot report to work, as the office is too small for more than two people to comfortably work under normal working conditions.
When I ask employer for back wages, I get threatened that they will issue a backdated termination letter to Sept 2008 (employee not terminated yet), though I have been actively working with them to find new work? I am also being asked to submit a fake personal leave letter for the past 5 months.
How do I know if my H1B has been revoked? I know there are many issues and questions raised here...
Greatly appreciate your time in responding to this...
