Hi guys, I really need your advice on this :
1)Working for a large financial consulting firm A now, in-house lawyers dealt with the H-1B, renewing it now for Oct this year (sent in May, haven't heard back).
2)Want to join a 7-people Start Up company B as a financial analyst, which does not want to hire me as an "employee" but only as a "consultant" (i guess understandable for tax/risk reasons as the president of the firm is also hired as a consultant so ...).
3)How can I keep my H-1B with me? Can company B sponsor me as a consultant? or I need to have a third party consulting firm as a bridge? If so, any good agent or lawyers I can talk to?
Any advice highly appreciated.
Best,
CB

... I have seen a few threads in the past where someone stuck in BEC was just venting and then ppl come along and tell them to "be happy for others". I don't get it....
Come on, man. We are paying too much attention here. Look, there is always somebody stuck somewhere. People are stuck in BEC, in other contries. People are stuck in Afganistan, Bangalore, there are hungry people stuck in Africa. So? If there are hungry people, then I can't enjoy my dinner then? Someone always has to come and say "you enjoy and there are people stuck somewhere"? What's your reaction would be if someone come on your wedding and start complaining that he is impotent? - these are a little extreme examples, just to make a point.
I'm a June filer, and this July thing will hit me too, but I still congratulate those July filers. So what? I understand that we will start getting our EADs in a year (so we would be applying for next EAD once we got current one). I understand that USCIS officers will be irritated and pissed, they will be under tons of application and everybody will be calling and bugging them. So? I realize that it maybe will take 3-4 years for us to get GC. So? I realize that DOS might retrogress now dates for many years on Oct, and will not do the same stupid mistake as making dates current and unleashing the voluntary slaves. So?
Today was little tiny success and it was day of tiny celebration. There is day for complaining and there is day for celebration.

This is very interesting. Please keep us posted on future developments like when you get your card. Lot of us have been debating about RD and ND. The fact that you have got an RFE on your 485 application is also interesting. It could really be your GC.
Have you recently applied for you EAD? They might have approved your EAD and updated your status for the 485 app by mistake. Just trying to over analyze the situation :). Anyway keep your fingers crossed till you get your physical cards.
Earlier today I got an email from USCIS that said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Card production ordered.
On June 29, 2008, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."
Then by the evening my I-485 said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.
On June 30, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before you get your new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."
Problem My EB2 PD is not current, is this a system glitch or did I get GC?
Here are my stats

Excellent news!!
I am real optimistic that introduction of a separate bill (SKIL)will definitely make its way through. Passage of CIR is primarily restricted because of illegal issues. I hope the house and senate look at the passage of SKIL Bill as a critical step (even if some don't like it).
Wait until they start getting to the details before being optimistic.
By the way, how long does it take for a bill to get debated and voted on from the time it is introduced? Months? Years??

FYI:
- I heard from my friends that their's approved within a month and they did regular paper filing.
- e-Filing needs ASC appointment for Bio stuff; Looks like, that delays atleast few weeks than paper filing.
- And, lot of us are waiting for 2 Yr EAD if EAD is not required ot apply before June 30th. That reduces the load too.

I wish there was a better way to establish priority date other than an approved I-140. Anyways...
I am worried that if I get laid off or other people at our site are laid off, how will it affect my I-140 processing which is pending at TSC? Has anyone been denied I-140 because of layoffs by the company?
The company said they will not revoke the 140 application and will send me the approval if it comes later (so I can at least retain the priority date if I have to do this all over again at a new company).
Another thing that worries me is that the company is refusing to do premium processing of the I-140 application, even if I am ready to pay for the premium processing fees. I am at loss how to convince their dense mind what it means to lose the priority date.
Green card processing can be for future employement also. So even though you laid off it won't stop your 140 processing.
About premium processing Can't you deal with lawyer directly? . Just sending 1000$ check will do your job but I am not sure there is premium processing for 140 is valid now or not ? (until July 16)

hi stucklabor,
my earlier post was not meant to be offensive regarding your interpretations of the bill, I apologize if it came across that way.
rather my post was meant to challenge your interpretation in the common interest. however after seeing your response i did look up the bill text and agree that the provisions on the Section 405 (e) seem to apply to retroactively to all who would have been in such status if the section was in force when the graduated.
My earlier comments were based on Bill Frist's own summary of his bill and not any third party's. however the summary does not mention anything about the retroactive nature of adjustment of status under f-4

Understood every point of yours & I stand by what you said except for the language as it could have been a bit better. Regarding EB3 or EB2, maybe IV should work attaching a provision as part of its CIR work, which makes USCIS determine whether a candidate is in EB3 or EB2 based on the PERM & 140 instead of letting companies & attorneys mention it. If this happens the process will be much better as USCIS controls the categories & applicants do not need to beg a company to throw them into an EB2 basket or EB3 basket. Also, applicants can have certain amount of freedom from the companies.
When a process is flawed, there is always room for abuse. Of course, the abuse might be minimal, but when we see people with masters & 15 years of experience toiling in EB3 category it pains my heart. It is a fact there could be lesser qualified inidividuals who are in EB2 category, but the companies have managed to use these to hold the employees as hostage.
Hopefully USCIS someday understands this and takes control of assigning applicants into categories than asking company & attorney to mention.
Just sharing my two cents. Also, frustrations from EB3 should be tolerated by IV members, instead of beating them with "red dots". Because if we request members to put their time and effort then it would be mostly EB3 members as they are the "worst" affected. I am sure every year between july-sept most of EB2 members will do bulletin-watching & there is nothing wrong in it.
Next year by this time only EB3 will be here and I dont think many of the EB2 will even bother to read the forum. God bless EB3. Even for those guys with PD in 2003 if you think that you will be lucky in year or two, try buying lottery tickets too. You might win a jackpot.
Good Luck guys...

Now that it is clear that we can file 485 without 140 receipt notice, I want to know what you guys, who have not received 140 receipt notice yet, are planning to. Are you going to file 485 right now with the information insturcted by USCIS (brightly colored paper...)? Or are you going to wait for the 140 receipt notice until certain point and then, if you still have not received the receipt by then, file 485 with the information insturcted by USCIS (brightly colored paper...)?

Paskal,
Personally, I feel state chapters is a not-working concept. Having bigger chapters like TriState, Midwest... and better still 'East Coast chapter' is a face saver until we have sufficient numbers. There should we a minimum threshold say 40-50 [I'm keeping it low] members to sanction a state chapter.
I question why there should even be a MI chapter, when there are hardly 3-4 (am I exaggerating?) active members and the newsgroup is dead for all purposes? It's depressing and demotivating. We are better off in bigger regional groups until we have sufficient numbers to justify a chapter [ supply to follow demand, and not vice versa].
Right now, active members in not-so-active state chapters feel abandoned. They don't have an active chapter, and active chapters in other states don't want them ( go to your own). For e.g in there was no MI chapter, I would be a member of Midwest chapter or East Coast chapter, adding numbers to those.
they were not formed at the last moment in most cases
what makes you think people participate in those? from personal experience
in the MN chapter, it's hard to even get replies to e mails, forget meetings etc. of late though i'm glad to say the MN chapter has really beugun to pick up again.
ask the tri state guys how much effort they put locally- meetings- fliers- phone calls, all by a handful of volunteers. so all this is good in theory and yes it takes time. but the apathy (even hostility) that was encountered was frightening. ask chanduv23 someday what the tri state guys went through...

Mark Krikorian is the MAN. He's the brain. Rest don't matter.
Most likely the CIS "immigrants" were ex-undocumenteds who got "Amnenstied" in 1986. What ancedote will they use? How they broke the Immigration laws back then?
I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out than some of them were former "Grand Dragons" at triple-K! Not revealing the past is an indicator of closet full of nasty skeletons.

Yes, by removing "or" from (I), adding "or" at (II), and adding (III). I think this is how it would read. How do you think it should read?
Your interpretation is incorrect. An advanced degree holder from the US will not need labor certification. Please go through my and Appu's reasoning in earlier posts on this thread to understand why.
Per Frist's bill, an advanced degree holder in STEM with 3 years experience will be subject to special handling in labor cert. Your (iii) refers to this person. This person is not subject to the numerical quota.
An advanced STEM degree holder from the US does not need labor cert. This is because notwithstanding the applicant's admissiblity for permanent residence, the applicant can file for adjustment of status as long as he has an immigrant petition. "Applicant's admissibility for permanent residency" refers to labor cert for EB 2/3 workers - see section 212 of INA. So irrespective of labor cert, the advanced STEM degree holder from the US can file for Adjustment of Status and I140. However, this person is subject to numerical quota and has to wait for a green card number for 485 approval.
Put both the above paragraphs together - the advanced STEM degree holder from the US with 3 years experience has the best of both worlds - no labor cert, no quota, can file for I140 and I48.

Transfer of the Earlier Priority Date : EB3 to New EB2
�MurthyDotCom
The ability to transfer priority dates from an earlier, approved, I-140 to a later-filed I-140 could provide an alternative for job mobility, both within the current employer's organization or with a new employer. This would be helpful for those who want to make a change but are not eligible to file the I-485 application because of retrogression. It also could help people who are eligible to change from an EB3 classification to EB2. One would be eligible to request a transfer of the priority date from the earlier-filed EB3 petition to a new EB2 petition once the I-140 is approved. The new EB2 petition would need to be based upon a new LC for a position requiring the EB2 level of education and/or experience. (Over time, many people with EB3 cases have become eligible for EB2 cases due to increased experience and/or education, and promotions.)
This strategy potentially could shave off a few years in the queue for available immigrant visa numbers. This may be particularly appealing to those who had EB3 labor certifications filed on their behalf long ago and have had their cases pending while they have gained advanced degrees, acquired several more years of experience, and/or are offered jobs at higher levels. Keep in mind, though, that this involves filing a whole new LC under the PERM system for a new job opportunity and that the employer must actually require the additional degree and/or experience for all persons holding that job classification in order for the new case to be filed as EB2.

any help with my queries is really appreciated.. :confused:
A very surprising thing happened in our company today. Shocking it may seem, they laid off 5 employees in my department today without any notice. Today's happenings makes me want to gather as much info as possible in case something unexpected might happen.
I am a July 2nd filer of 140/485 concurrently. No I140 approval yet. Received AP and EAD for both me and my wife.
If I request my employer not to revoke I140, will I be able to use my EAD for my next job?
Can someone give suggestions on what other options I have if something terrible happens to me?
Thanks

If existing members don't show the commitment to the meetings or whatever we organize, then how can we expect new members to do anything?
I feel weird even saying this, but guys don't you know that it is simple courtesy to let the host know in advance if you can't make it?
And anything more than 15 minutes late is just plain RUDE! Do we have to teach this?
I hear you, needhelp! I think every single chapter leader has felt this at some point.
I would like to clarify - anything beyond 0 minutes late is rude. I have a management position in my job, and if that happens at a meeting i'd set up professionally, they get a verbal lashing from yours truly.
It is highly disrespectful

Hope you had a great time at the other attractions with your parents... though it wouldn't have been a bad idea to bring your parents along as well to the attractions where yours and your parents' presence may have helped your cause.... :)
First of all - THANK YOU. It's because of IV I am happy today with EAD cards on hand. I will never forget what IV did for me and thousands of GC applications in July. I can't forget the despair and the smiles IV brought back to our lives.
More of a reason to be there, one would think! Apparently you found a better way to be thankful..
Probable reason - less motivated for couple of reasons which are already spelled out on this forum by others.
However I hoped to be part of rally towards the end. But couldn't. My parents came to USA last Friday. I did plan to combine my parents D.C tour with IV rally. But as such we happened to drop-in to D.C, unexpectedly, from Baltimore on Sunday itself. And on Tuesday 9/18 - all important day, we were busy packing to other attractions....
To Franklin -
Rally agenda - from the start, the D.C rally has not seemed need-based rally. San Jose rally and flower campaign were need-based. They were needed because USCIS ditched all July hopefuls. We were aghast and speech-less. So there was that burning-sensation in our tummies that took us to streets and greet the USCIS chief with bloody flowers!!
D.C rally has been strategic one.
Is your position that you don't participate in strategic efforts? :)
Somewhere in the beginning of the game, we pushed wrong buttons in marketing/selling the strategy or signing up people for the D.C rally. I remember very very few messages on the rally forums and tons and 100s of messages on "July 2" forum.
All senior fellows and the 1000+ members who made it to rally - have you surprised why there is NO 5000 - 10000 attendance.
Some more pointers to my thoughts -
> I can't associate all IV handles with real people easily.
> I don't know who is what (like in organizations we have people associated with certain responsibilities).
> Has anyone ever asked whether we should mention our association with IV in 485 application? And the repercussions?
cheers!

First of all - THANK YOU. It's because of IV I am happy today with EAD cards on hand. I will never forget what IV did for me and thousands of GC applications in July. I can't forget the despair and the smiles IV brought back to our lives.

Does anyone know if I can file I-485 if my LC is approved before August 17th? Or should it be approved during month of July?
Thanks
Does anyone have an answer for this? Appreciate some response.
