I arrived in the USA on 02/04. By current time I haven't been assigned to to any client's project which my bodyshop promised me. Also he have'n paid me yet even a single paycheck. I started to find another company which could do transfer my h1b. Is it real without any paycheck at all?

I disagree that this is a plan at the government level to make EB immigration on par with family based immigration.
Diversity is a cornerstone of the US immigration policy. It is present in both the main types of US immigration. You can argue about its merits and demerits, however when major immigration reform was debated and legislated in the 60s, diversity was set as a basis. The Diversity visa lottery speaks to this.
The H1b visa(with its absent country quotas), has now come into collision with an EB system which has these quotas. That is why we are seeing this mess.

Hi,
Based on the summary if you re-look at the student visa section of Bill Frist's bill
`(2) STUDENT VISAS- Notwithstanding the requirement under paragraph (1)(C), an alien may file an application for adjustment of status under this section if--
`(A) the alien has been issued a visa or otherwise provided nonimmigrant status under section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv), or would have qualified for such nonimmigrant status if section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv) had been enacted before such alien's graduation;
`(B) the alien has earned an advanced degree in the sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics;
`(C) the alien is the beneficiary of a petition filed under subparagraph (E) or (F) of section 204(a)(1); and
`(D) a fee of $1,000 is remitted to the Secretary on behalf of the alien.
`(3) LIMITATION- An application for adjustment of status filed under this section may not be approved until an immigrant visa number becomes available.'.
What this really means is a masters student can adjust to immigrant visa status although his visa application will get approved only when the visa is available. If i have understood this correctly this means that this is similar to the S-1932 provision wherein you can adjust your status although approval will happen only when immigrant visa is available.(provided one is masters)
Or have i got this wrong?
Comments? If i am interpreting this correctly it is another big boost for people who have either not worked 3 yrs as yet on H1B or have a masters degree unrelated to the profession they are working in.
piyushpan,
Exactly my reactions too. In the section by section analysis posted on Frist's website - http://frist.senate.gov/_files/031706section.pdf it does look like it is only for those who did their masters in the US though. So I-485 and consequently EAD will not be a problem for those of you.
However if you do not have 3 years of experience in a related field, you will be subject to the quota and hence you will have to wait for the priority date to become current to get you I-485 approved though.

You are right!!!. Hearing from the candidates, i was wondering if they will ask us to have some Voluntary Military/Community Service to be done to Qualify for GC and Citizenship.:D
dont be confused with "legal immigration", legal immigration in obama's world means family based immigration (vote bank politics) not EB immigration.

There is no minimum number of weekly hours for an H1B petition. There are some H1B workers who hold several part-time positions. This is common particularly in academic settings where individuals may teach part time, or where a single position may be funded by more than one source. (This requires multiple part-time H1Bs.) Thus, potentially it would be possible to obtain an approval of an H1B for just a few hours per week.
�MurthyDotCom
Since nothing in the regulations specifies an amount of time each week that an H1B worker must work to remain in status, it is possible to be in status as an H1B worker with a part-time job. There is no guidance on this matter as to any minimum hourly requirements. There is some old guidance on H1B workers attending school, which states that it is permissible, but that the H1B employment must be the primary purpose for being in the United States. This might be helpful by analogy, but even this guidance does not specify hours.

Are you sure your employer didn't sneak in a labor sub without your knowledge??
If not, you got a lucky break, just cherish it? Once in a while USCIS gives us good surprises too:D Few of the folks don't have the guts to share such a lucky break on the forum, thanks for letting us know. EB2 visa's are available and hence the approval won't be a surprise except that u'r PD's aren't current. It would've been a huge surprise if this happened to EB3-I. May be the adjudicator mistakenly saw U as a ROW applicant. We all wish this adjudicator be assigned with lots of cases:D

The problem is, that for all my efforts, people just don't seem to care. The only reason I had any success was the embarrassment I caused the government because of all the soldiers who were excluded. Immigrants in the US are viewed by most people as an unwanted scourge.
My employer has also been no help at all. I have been looking for work outside of the US, but unfortunately, the economic situation makes that a bit more challenging. Sorry if I sound pessimistic. That is just my personal experience.
I agree but that should not keep us away from trying. If it were not for HOPE then a lot of things would not have worked for people including the newly elected president.
I understand the frustration but at least we can use the same info and make it available to the relevant authorities. I think we will not loose anything as like last time we will be dropped again.
I am willing to contribute sometime to it. Any one else interested?

Which embassy? I had the same experience when I renewed my passport. For passport renewal we need to apply on line. When they gave me the new passport, it had the wrong issuedate of the original passport. When I asked about that the lady in the counter started yelling at me saying its my fault and it is what I typed on line. She showed me her computer screen as if its my fault and finally they made a note in the passport with pen.
After I came home, I checked the copy I took when I applied and I entered correct information. Interesting thing is same typos happened to several people on the same day, and the embassey staff told every one the same story.

I see there are many amendments for the Immigration bill that was currently on the Senate floor Senate floor and as of today it�s been stalled, and probably will be brought back to be debated on. My question to IV core and members are that there are what version of the bill do like or will support.
Because the bill stated that if the point system comes into existence then it will only begin from the next fiscal year 2008 and in the bill it also stated that all I140 files after May 15, 2007 will be NULL and VOID. DO IV and core support this version of the bill, because I don�t and many people out here too don�t support and what role is IV core playing on this matter?
I know the point based GC system will be happily accepted by newcomers who just got into the queue of this GC process but what about those who waited for years to reach this stage to file I140 and then finally coming to know that their I140 is not valid because of the so called new BILL.
I am totally against any new Immigration bill that does not benefit the who are in the queue for years. I wish others too in this forum agree with me.
This is my opinion. You guys can agree or disagree its totally unto you guys. But this is my stand on the Immigration bill and will try my effort to bring it down. Only time will tell.

H1B visa is meant to be for people with skills that are in shortage in the US. If any H4 feels that he/she should be able to work, he/she should get a H1B. I agree that it may be difficult for some H4s to find a sponsorer for H1B, because their skills are not in shortage in the US.
Some spouses may join their H1B counterparts in the US, with an expectation that they will eventually get the GC and will be able to work, no matter what their skill set is. This is a reasonable expectation. So, blame the retrogression.
I do not believe that H4s should ever be allowed to work. They just take away jobs of more skilled workers who are unable to get H1Bs and who are still in their home countries trying for one. Skill-less free riders!
Now, please don't bash me with counter arguments!! ;)

No, it isn't NC and NC alone. The percentage of people that get stuck in NC is minuscule compared to the back log due to inefficiencies.
You can believe what you like, you can chose to in 1 breath quote from the Ombudsman report and then in the next, ignore what it states.
The fact remains, the USCIS is very far from effcient
I totally agree that USCIS is inefficient in using all the visas allocated. DOS provides cut-off dates based on the projection given by USCIS. USCIS always on the defensive and provide the cut-off dates that results in such waste in EB visas every year. I do not think that they are ready to learn from their mistakes, otherwise how come this is a regular issue every year? Even a small relief like using the entire visa allocated will be better in such retrogression.
I hope USCIS will be made liable for the mistakes done in their past and provide those unused visas back to EB.
Thanks

I also think that the NSC Service Center update issued on November 20th, 2006 is not still valid. ( To file 485 without i 140 receipt notice)
Actually NSC was very slow in processing receipt notices during that time and hence the update was issued.
But now, the maximum time to send out a receipt notice is 15 days. So I am not sure if we can rely on that update.
Did u find anywhere that this NSC update is invalid, if yes please provide more info.

You stand a better chance of getting it through your kids if they are citizens than getting it through EB3. There are a few options to get green card faster. Canada is not one of them.
1. Get a Ph.D, get a job in a univ and apply in EB-1.
2. Get a MBA and get a management job and apply in EB-1.
3. Become a religious worker in some temple and apply in the religious worker category.
Fun apart, if you feel comfortable that you can find a job of your liking, and you believe your background will qualify you for a PR, consider Canada. It is a good place to live. You never miss home there. I am a Cdn citizen and have lived there for many years. Most likley I'll return back to Canada when I decide to retire. I know at least one person, who after living in the US for 11 yrs and unsuccessful in getting a GC, chose to make Canada his home, hoping to be there just for 3 yrs (needed to be a citizen), and then return to the US on TN permit. He has been in Canada for 8 yrs, and does not want to consider to move to the US any more.
Canada has a bit slower life, but is better socially and people are friendlier. It has less professional opportunities, lower pay and more tax. Yet, overall I think Canada is a better place to live. Why am I in the US? Purely for professional reasons. I visit Canada quite frequently, which I consider as my home.
