Can you give us some more details about the call to get receipt number?
One of my friend called but they said they can only give I-140 Receipt no to employer.
I called USCIS today and they asked my name and date of birth and they gave me my Receipt Number for I-140.
My I-140 was recieved on July 16th and they generated a receipt notice and have sent me...I shud probably recieve it by this week.
Hope u all also get it soon...

GO_GUY,
How much finance is required to do MBA in canada say in top 50 universities. Can we get financial aid for international students?
Canada does not have 50 universities, in TOTAL. So your choice is limited to
(1) Queens University in Kingston, Ont.
(2) University of Toronto
(3) UBC

GCBy3000, your story is so similar to mine. It is a sad story. Let's look forward and win this battle. I think if we keep ourselves our education up to date we may succeed.
In 2005 I started the MBA from a top 20 school. When I reached 50% of it, I put the thing on hold because I realized that I could find employers in this area which could pay the $50,000 the program was costing me. The good news is that when I completed 24 credits, I got a part-time job on EAD as a lecturer for a bachelor science/300 level course in infosec. The bad news is that I learned in 2006 that my MBA in Information Systems has been discontinued and I lost all my credits and valuable $14,000 I spent.
Therefore my advice for those thinking of starting the masters program:
Go for it, start and finish it. If you are on EAD, apparently you should be eligibile for US Federal Aid Loans.
I am very happy teaching one night/week, that extra income is enough to pay 90% of the masters program (it is true that I am planning to resume the masters and pick MS Information Management instead, as that seems more strategical (and less expensive) than MBA to me.
I was thinking about PMI, CISA and MBA right from the time I landed in US in 1999. Then I realized that I need to get an GC to make use of those. Then I started to look for a stable company where I can start my GC process. It took three years toll till then. I joined a good ameican company as a perm employee. They did not file my GC as they promised and I had to quit to join another company for the heck of my GC and for my (my wife with CPA / CA is on H4 for 5th year now) dream career. I had to go many step back in technology with the new company but I sucessfully managed to file my GC.
Then what? When I finished studying my PMI, all the retrogression story started. Then I had to ask questions my self.
1. With PMI certification in 2004, if I am doing a Sr. Software engineer, will it not raise questions down the line in my career interviews. May be yes or no, but I do not have answers.
2. With PMI Cert in 2004, if I can get my GC in 2005, I am pretty sure I could manage any questions throws at me, but not in 2008 or 2010. So I dropped the idea on PMI / CISA/ GMAT until I have 50% certanity of when I will be getting my GC in hand.
3. The worst will be starting an MBA with good univeristy and competing it in next two years with zero hope of getting GC then. What would you do if you are not even closer to file your 485 when you have MBA degree in hand. You will have career in your home country with this MBA for sure, but who will pay your debts here. It is like shooting yourself on your foot with golden gun. Atleast you will be satsifed it is golden gun, but the end result is hurting yourselves.
4. So what is the option? Never give up. There are always difficult times for everyone. What we are facing is nothing. There are people who are graduating at the age of 70 in US. I have seen a lady at the age of 70 graduating with MAB from Harvard. I thought she did it for fun, but in an interview she said she wants to pursue her career in marketing field. This is an eye opener for me. So prepare yourself with TOEFL and GMAT. These scores are valid for 5 years. Join from volunteer organizations and develop your leadership skills. Reco letters from these orgs will have great impact when you apply for MBA infuture. Most of all it is right way to live a peaceful life atleast if you do not go the MBA route, you will develop the skills needed for your life.

WHICH is why we need to contact the Lawmakers NOW about this and request more transparency.
I called Kennedy and Cornyn. Asked them if they are aware of the issue. They are not. Did you call? Kennedy 202 224 4543, Cornyn 202 224 2934. I also aksed if Kennedy is going to send letters to two agencies as Rep Lofgren did as he is the senate immigration sub committe chair

I completely agree with you on this... But please note that JULY FIASCO DID HAPPEN... If it is against the law or if it is STRICTLY interpreted in the law then CIS or DOS would have never allowed to file for AOS during July 2007.
Also, please see section E from http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_3258.html
If you see highlighted text below... one thing strikes me... It is not just availability of the visa numbers which decides when an applicant can file for AOS, infact to utilise visa numbers efficiently they made dates 'C' during July 2007...
In other words It is up to CIS and/or DOS to move the dates...
E. EMPLOYMENT-BASED VISA AVAILABILITY DURING THE COMING MONTHS
All Employment Preference categories except for Third �Other Workers� have been made �Current� for July. This has been done in an effort to generate increased demand by Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) for adjustment of status cases, and to maximize number use under the annual numerical limit. However, all readers should be alert to the possibility that not all Employment preferences will remain Current for the remainder of the fiscal year. Should the rate of demand for numbers be very heavy in the coming months, it could become necessary to retrogress some cut-off dates for September, most likely for China-mainland born and India, but also possibly for Mexico and Philippines. Severe cut-off date retrogressions are likely to occur early in FY-2008.
Again, I am not trying to argue here. I am just trying to see from all the angles.
Please correct me if I mis understood some thing.
Thanks,
Kiran

Berry, Appleman & Leiden LLP is very good firm. I have very good experience with them. They completed all my paper work on Jun 30, so that they can file by July 2. Also the attorney and the para-legal were really good and replied to my questions patiently. The website is http://www.usabal.com/
Karthik
I don't think Berry Appleman is a good firm, they took 30 days for all people to prepare simple docs for I 485 which takes 2 hours for us to prepare and they never respond to calls and email.

Certainly Canada is much much better option. Wish people had talked about it 10 years ago. So for those who just came to America or those who are deciding where to go to work or to school, Canada should be the first choice. You will actually have more flexibility being a Canadian than American.

Please see the answers below:
Thank you so much for the reply. As you suggested, I will try to find an attorney and get more details. In the mean time I just have a few more questions.
1.Do you know if pay stubs would be a problem to get the "transfer/new" H1B before Oct 1st? Since I wouldn't actually work with Company A, so I wouldn't have any pay stubs.
I am not sure if I understand your question. Do you mean to ask if the lack of pay stubs will be a problem if you file before Oct 1? There is no way that you can get pay stubs before Oct 1 because you are not allowed to work before that date.
2. Actually what's difference between getting the "transfer" before Oct 1st and getting a "new" H1B before Oct 1st? Is there some procedure difference?
The determining factor here is the timing. The term "transfer" is used when people have an H1B and they are under H1B status, meaning they are working already, in this case after Oct1. For example, Mr.X has been working for company A and gets a better offer for company B. The latter would file for an H1B petition in his name and under AC21, he would be allowed to start working with company B as soon as there is proof or receipt from USCIS of the H1B petition. That would be what is referred to as a "transfer".
The second option is to file before the H1B petition from company A takes effect (Oct 1). In this case, company B files for a new H1B petition in his name and instead of being able to start working as soon as the receipt number is received (AC21), Mr.X needs to wait for the application to be approved by USCIS. This can take anywhere from 2 weeks if done with premium processing to up to who knows how long depending on his case.
Keep in mind, that no matter what, you will not be able to work before Oct 1.
I would highly encourage you to ask an attorney for advice because this is a very important decision and you should not guide yourself by postings. I can only tell you what I have been informed and what I have researched, but I am not sure how it applies in your case.
You are asking about pay stubs and such and I am not sure how that would apply if you decide to say, work for 2 weeks for company A and then transfer to company B without proof of paystubs.
Company A (the company through which I got the H1B) is withholding the H1B approval notice Original until I am put on project. I went ahead with them for sponsorship because they guaranteed getting projects in my area and no "bench" time, but now after the approval came through, they don't seem as enthusiastic about placing me in local projects. In case there's a problem, I don't want to risk going through the whole "bench" period thing, that's why I am considering changing companies early itself, instead of waiting to find out for sure.
So my third question is
3. Is a COPY of H1B approval notice enough for getting a "new" H1B with company B?
Again, I think it is best to ask an attorney. I have no idea if a copy is enough or if they need an original. I am not familiar with this "bench-time" concept. Good luck and again, I recommend you consult with an attorney. I can only inform you on what relates to my experience.
Again THANK YOU for your replies, it's a BIG HELP!

They have to abolish the H1B programme completely since they can no longer prevent its abuse. They need to have a new process in place in which scrutiny occurs for each application of a foreign worker!
