My son and you are in the same boat. He came here 9 years ago went to middle/high school here. Now, he is in college and will turn 21. He will not get his greencard because he is here on H4 legally.
Isn't that a shame?
andy
Q1: Is H4 only valid for children under 21. What happens to children who have been here for long on H4 status and turn 21?
Q2: If the answer to the first part of Q1 is YES, will the approved I140 (that included the dependent H4) be valid?

I know some people think that we should not spend too much time on Lou Dobbs but to not protest his inaccuracies is to allow him to manipulate public opinion against us. It seems like his latest enemy is the "indian immigrant".
Some of you may have seen his interview of Senator Tancredo who suggested that there were about 700,000 immigrants that had come to the US legally on H1B visas and had overstayed illegally. Mr Dobbs of course did not question these numbers and facts and there has been no subsequent supporting information to back up such claims that negatively affect the perception of legal immigrants to the US.
Meanwhile Michale Moore has stated on his website that they "are now going to start looking into the veracity of other reports you have aired on other topics. Nothing you say now can be believed. In 2002, the New York Times busted you for bringing celebrities on your shows and not telling your viewers they were paid spokespeople for the pharmaceutical companies. You promised never to do it again. But there you were, in 2005, talking to Joe Theismann, on air, as he pushed some drug company-sponsored website on prostate health. You said nothing about about his affiliation with GlaxoSmithKline.
Clearly, no one is keeping you honest, so I guess I'm going to have to do that job, too"
Question for IV leadership - should we as a community should inform Michael Moore of Lou Dobbs inaccuracies when we find any?
Thank You

A major IT company making just 3% profit margin for last 8 years??? Howmany think its true? To me it just can't be. The original 40%(not sure of exact %) is more realistic and along lines with other major IT operating from India base.
He(they) planned it all along I guess. Meticulously diverting(swindling) cash to their hands. Once market gone worse and knowing it remains so for sometime to come, they can no more see such money flow into their hands. So wanted to make a safe exit by selling their own company ( which interestingly named reverse of 'MAYTAS'-'SATYAM' - they probably know this will happen and its going to reverse the future of SATYAM ) and recording those swindled money under this asset in the name of 'bookvalue'.
I hope whatever body goes into investigating this fraud, goes deep in and traces every(atleast some) 'real' penny that might have made its way out to classify this a 'fake' profit is found and returned back to the true 'stake' owners. More importantly, whoever deliberately crafted this, should be penalized such that it remains a deterent to others stealing publics money and their future. This is a testing time for India to prove they are relaible investment nation with a sound law to enforce better business environment.

Hello friends,
Of late everybody is talking about bad economy. I mean its all over the TV and newspapers. Apparently we are in a recession since past one year (since Dec 2007).
However, odd it may though sound, I don't see any real economic slowdown in IT sector. I mean all my friends and acquaintances in IT industry in the US and India are retaining their jobs. I recently talked to my IT recruiter and she told me that as far as she is concerned this year has been like any other years. Bit sluggish at the year end, but loads of requirements lined up for January next year.
Am I the only one who is feeling this way, or others also sensing the same thing. Maybe the real jolts are still lying in the future, in the coming year. Or may be its just a hoax. I would love to know other people's observation on this strange anomaly between what is being reported in the media, and what is being observed on the ground.

My colleague filed 140&485 in August. Her case was sent to TSC. So far her 131, 765, and 140 approved. Also, she has done her FP. What a different! I was wondering what's the purpose of "bi-specilization"??
The name check takes 2 years anyway, making a mockery of fast processing times. Even VSC, which is the slowest, takes less than 2 yrs for 485.
BTW, it is awfully quiet here nowadays.

all that stuff comes in at I-140 stage. During PERM/LC they dont care about his qualifications, its the job that is being certified.
See the audit questions again, all relate to justifications that the requirements are really needed for the job advertised. ie. when the job ad said MS+2 Years is needed, DOL wants to know why this job requires MS+2 Years of experience. His lawyer is right, a more conservative approach to job requirements (MS+0 or BS+5 for EB2 is much more easier to defend). As you increase the minimum job requirements, it reduces the pool of available candidates who can apply for the job. DOL wants to make sure the minimum requirements are really valid, and not set artificially high simply to reduce the pool of candidates.
Basically your LC sponsor needs to be able to justify all requirements posted for the job (education, experience, specific skills) else you can be in trouble.
Yes audit questions seem to be hinting screw up from employer side but then also it can not be judged exactly on the same line without going into detail of provided job classification, job requirement and furnished docs from employee.Now all of the areas you mentioned are crucial from employer side and in addition to that "employee's degree" evaluation is also done at labor stage,(PERM or OLD LC). Please see following link.
http://www.usabal.com/permres/PERM_Overview.html
Now logically screw up can occur at one of the two or both segments. "Employee side related docs and process" and "Employer side docs and process". I was kind of trying to know whether poster might not have screwed up anything from his side. You covered the areas "from employer side" - whether it may be business necessity and/or recruitment results. Now if employee's docs have conflict with any of "business necessity" for an example evaluation cert depicts MS (Electrical Engineering) and "business necessity" is to hire "MS (Computer science) then also it could create the problem. In such case employer/lawyer if can establish that MS (Electrical) can also that job then matter is finished..

Perhaps we may see things streamlined after this event ? Cheer up. Happy Christmas everyone ! Let's celebrate with happiness in our heart, no matter the outcome of this insane immigration process.
:mad: 12/11/2006: USCIS Considers Termination of Concurrent Filing (140/485)
According to the USCIS rule-making agenda, the USCIS is to propose to terminate current concurrent I-140 and I-485 filing. The proposed rule is scheduled to be published in March 2007 with 60-day comment period. It is thus not imminent, but in the later part of next year(Oops!), the immigrant community may see a totally different filing procedure including electronic registration and filing just like current PERM labor certificaiton application procedure. Once the concurrent filing is terminated, the immigrants may experience a terrible pain as related to maintenance of nonimmigrant status pending I-140 petition, eligibility for 245K benefit, plus unavailability of EAD and AP pending I-140 petition, AC-21 180-day portability, etc. etc. Should the I-140 petition processing be dragged, the pain will be extremely unbearable!

Folks - Amsterdam, Dubai, Brussels are the best way to go. 4 years back, I had problems with Lufthansa, I did not know I ahd to take transit visa and they never allowed me on flight and I had to travel the next day by going to german consulate in morning get visa and went back in afternoon, and surprisingly they had blocked me for that day. Until then, I always used to travel ONLY by lufthansa, but after that experience, I never wanted to. I always fly emirates and I like it.

[From the pdf link]
On January 3, 2008, the director denied the petition.
....
....
AAO must determine whether the petitioner has established that it will have "an employer-employee relationship with respect to employees under this part, as indicated by the fact that it may hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the work of any such employee
....
....
Upon review, the AAO concurs with the director's decision. The record is not persuasive in establishing that the petitioner or any of its clients will have an employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary.

There is nothing definite about EB1 approval (or for that matter, approval in any EB category). There are some with better credentials whose petitions got denied, and others with lesser qualifications got approved. To a large extent it will depend on your attorney's spinning skill, and to a small(?) extent also on the whims of the IO handling the petition.

Dear <newschannel /congress/senator/legislator name here>,
While the coverage that we "potential" legal immigrants received during the CIR debate was abysmal because we were not considered "human interest" pieces by journalists and editors. We have been subjected to another slap in the face by a broken immigration system.
Please see:
http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22804
"Administration Slams Door on Thousands of Legal Immigrants: AILA Condemns Agencies' Bait and Switch
Cite as "AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 07070264""
This news has so far only got brief coverage in a few websites. Among them include:-
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070703/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/immigration_green_cards

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&ncl=1117797588
We hope that this press release is sufficient to now categorize us as a human interest piece. It is ironic that those crossing the borders illegally get front page coverage, while the tens of thousands of us going through the legal channels get ignored. Many of us have spent hundreds of dollars and wasted time, effort and money, only to be rudely slapped in the face by this visa bulletin revision. Any coverage will be appreciated.
Thanks,

trust me thats what they told me..dunno what he thinks..:) :)
but the point is I sent my docs to my employer and I didnt include any G-28 in it..which means we signed as we prepared all docs..
Now can they attach G-28 and introduce themselves as representatives and swallow all receipts???

I agree, support from any org or forum is good for our cause and would definitely broden our support base.
I have seen couple of postings from 'gc_2010', they sound negative, it is better to ingnore them rather then taking pains to clarrify those postings.

I will be more than happy to pay $5000 if USCIS allow me to file for EAD and AP after I-140 approval. This way, I can work where ever i want and travel whenever I want. $5000 is nothing to get this kind of freedom. What do you guys think ?
