No bill was introduced in Senate. Where is the question of voting? If anti immigrants some how make waste these 2 weeks of time in Senate then there will not be enough time to discuss. Now 60% chance. If no bill is introduced in Senate before end of may it will come down to 40%.

Here is what I can advise
1) Get all the supporting documentation that you have for both cases. Example tickets/ citations, fine receipts, any other docs related to the case you can find. make sure you make photo copies of all documents
2) Get a court dispositon documents for both cases to prove that the cases are closed and fine was paid
3) Make sure you run all these documents past your immigration attorney to ensure nothing is missing. Also get in touch with your lawyers that handled the DUI & other case to see if they can help you with paperwork
4) If you are not comfortable defending you case you can take an attorney with you. That is entirely optional thing.
5) No one on this forum or immigration officer has any moral right to tell you what you did was good or bad. Its the job of courts and they have already made you pay fine. So as long as you can furnish all relevant papers that these cases are closed you are fine with your immigration process.
Thanks for the comment!
I've done the entire process on my own untill today. I also did not have any lawyers involved in any of the misdemeanors. I do have documentation of all the cases. All cases are closed and I'm just paying the fines and have to put up with the probation. I spoke to a lawyer (first time I met with him) today and he advise me to pay him $600 to accompany me to the interview.
Any take on the lawyer's advice? Or can I take the challenge on my own?

Is a BE from India considered an advanced degree. What is the definition of an advanced degree ? GURUS please respond.
Aliens who have advanced degree in science,technology,engineering or math and have been working in a related field in US under a non immigrant visa during the 3 year period preceding their application should be exempt from numerical limits.

Gurus,
I am on H1B in USA and now I am planning to set up a company in India. Will I be violating any laws by doing this.
Can I operate the company from USA and still get payed in India. My clients will be paying my company in India.
Will I have to pay taxes in USA.
Thank you for your time.
WOW. People ask so many questions!!
Here is the answer - If you stay more than 6 months in US, you will have to pay taxes exception will be only L1 VISA. But before you think of L1, read L1 Visa requirement rules.
Have fun.

I tried cannot update the poll, but if AUG guys get it then Sep guys will get it as well...
I understand that, if people from Aug have not received the FP notice then how the Sept people will get it. But as you know USCIS is unpredictable and I was looking for how many people are stuck like us.
I wanted to track this and I opened the thread too, but it was closed by the administrators.

Fellow IV members,
How come the "Hard Limit" is not talked about / mentioned in any of the big websites? Shusterman.com / Aila.org et all. Is it possible to get an immigration attorney to explain this crucial issue of "Hard Limit" to IV core team ?

Dear Members
I seek your expert advise on following situation as my lawayer is not much clear on the topic.
I am from India and filed through university my I-140 and I-485 Concurrently on August-22,2006 in EB-2 SCHEDULE A ( Categorey II) EXCEPTIONAL ABILITY which is still current for all countries including India.. I had not seen any activity on My I-140 yet and Now for EB-2 Premiumprocessing is available now.More over Schedule A is likely to retrogess some time in November,2006
In this regards I need your guidance on following points.
(1) Does the possible retrogession in November means they will retrogess from November-2006 onwards? or they may retrogess even before say March-2006 or any previous date.
(2) If they retrogess from say Nov-15 than does it means that since I applied on August-23, My I-485s ( me and my family) will continue to be processed?
(3) In the view of possible retrogession of Schedule A, do you think I should go for Premium processing or not? Does it will help in any way to avoid retrogession of I-485s
(4)Based on past experiences, Does the application for premium processing hurt in any way in terms of final decision ( not the speed but out come approval or denial)?
Your input will greatly help me in deciding about premium processing.
Thanks

Following is the Employee Agreement
EMPLOYEE agrees and undertakes that EMPLOYEE will continue in the employment of XXXX for the Minimum Period. "Minimum Period" means the period commencing from the date of XXXX applying for the Green Card and ending on the expiry of one year from the date of EMPLOYEE being granted the Green Card.
EMPLOYEE therefore agrees to pay XXXX, before the last day of EMPLOYEE�s employment with XXXX, the aforesaid amount of US $10000 as Liquidated
Damages in the event EMPLOYEE breaches Clause hereof failing which XXXX shall have the right to charge such aforesaid amount from the final settlement of the dues to EMPLOYEE.
So If the employee does not pay at the most Employer will do is not give any of the Employee's remaining salary,leaves,Experience Letter etc?
What else he can do?
Does this Agreement is Legal? It is specifically referring to Green Card.
Why dont you send a complaint to DOL, I have seen Indians are really afraid to do so.

the other option you have is to go back to your home country and invoke counsellar processing. In that case, you dont have to give up your green card and career, if you do not want to continue in the same category specified in your H1B, but, your studies will be impacted.

- 485/765/131 submitted in Aug. Receipts are in with Oct 1 as the date. Why would they mark a date in October on the notice even though they physically received the applications on Aug 15th?
- Should I be receiving an EAD 90 days from Aug 15th or Oct 1?
- My H1 will expire by the end of the year. Should I be concerned? Do I have to do anything if I receive the EAD before it expires? Assume a case where I get my EAD approved and for some reason, my wife who is on H1, fails to get her EAD before the end of this year. Do I have to file for her extension, or take some other action?
- When can a person safely switch his/her employer? 180 days after filing the application or after receiving I485 approval?
- Can a spouse work on the basis of the receipt notice from USCIS, or does she need to have the EAD approval?
- How long (currently) would it take to receive the Green Card in hand? Are there enough numbers available with USCIS to allot GCs to almost everyone who qualifies?
- Would I get the fingerprinting notice directly or would my employer receive it?
- What other formalities would be left after (assuming) 485/765 are approved?
- Does anyone know of a good site that shows a workflow of all these stages in a Green Card process?

Hi Friends.
I got the pink slip 3 weeks back with one month severance. So my target was to secure the job in one month to avoid loss of pay. Finally secured the job with 3 offers from 3 top companies.
Some tips if it may be helpful to others , that I recently expereinced
1. Read your resume thoroughly and see if there are anything that you can improve and make the resume with the core skills, do not make the resume of mix of different profiles, like dba, architect, project manager, make them all seperate.
2. Try to make the submission to the direct employer or recruiter on top of the chain. You can do that finding contacts on linked in.
3. Do not compromise a lot, this makes these recruiters to think that you are vulnerable for any exploitation, (happened with me, I kicked there butt after getting selected and telling them on why did I do that)
All the best to everyone.
Congratulations and thanks for the tips. This can be helpful to a lot of people.......

[QUOTE=PDOCT05;189726]It's lawyer's fault ..he didn't check the application clearly.He said he is going to deal with it in a tactical way.I will wait for another notice from USCIS and then will take action on my lawyer. I am not going to leave him..:)
QUOTE]
Wish you all the best. It is too late to learn that one should not leave everything to the lawyers. Accuracy of info, signatures, etc. need to be thoroughly checked by us, the filers. Lawyer is doing this work for several people, and they want to spend least time on each. We, understanding the impact, are prepared to spend little extra time for checking thoroughly.
What tactical explanation is he going to give? May be he should say that it was signed but USCIS guy did not see it. Or, ink was bad, and evaporated, etc. "Fogot" will be difficult to make them accept.

Check the update provided by "abuddyz".
Nopes, in my case the officer was polite and just asked what my previous status was, to which I said "H1". I asked him if I will lose my H1 status when I enter on AP and he said yes, which was true as your new visa status becomes "Parolee". You can still work on H1 without using EAD, which is what I am doing now.
Its ok and legal to use your AP to travel back. See this recent Murthy Bulletin http://murthy.com/mb_pdf/032108_P.html
I still don't have an answer to my original question, anybody ?

You are right! Hopefully, everybody is including their spouses too.

I am having some trouble understanding it. In 2010, they have only allocated 2400 visas to China EB3? That is a wastage of 3300-2400 = 900 visas ??
Not necessarily, this data is 3 months old I think. The last quarter allocations could have closed the gap.

Hey Gurus,
What are the chances for ROW-EB2 to go backlog in OCT 2007. My wife's employer is filing for the LABOR this month. We are keeping our finger's crossed that it will be current in OCT this year.
What do you guys think about that? Thanks.
I am no guru BUT ....
It was current for more than the past two years, wasn't it. I think it is highly unlikely that it will be backlogged. If if it will, it could be by a very short period, 6 months maybe. This is what I think.
What do you think about EB3 ROW ?
