a transfer or new H1?
snathan

Yes there is and it is called visa portability. :) this is for you as well piyu, do not jump into summary so fast.
Ok, Here's what law says about so called "transfer"
D. AC21 105 -- Visa portability
The AC21 105 provides that a nonimmigrant who was previously issued an H-lB visa or provided H-1B nonimmigrant status may begin working for a new H-lB employer as soon as that new employer files a "nonfrivolous" H-lB petition on the nonimmigrant's behalf, if:
(a) the nonimmigrant was lawfully admitted to the United States;
(b) the nonfrivolous petition for new employment was filed before the end of their period of authorized stay; and
(c) the nonimmigrant has not been employed without authorization since his lawful admission to the United States, and before the filing of the nonfrivolous petition.
The status of a dependent of a principal nonimmigrant that is working pursuant to portability benefits is derivative of and linked to the status of the principal nonimmigrant. Therefore, dependents will remain in H-4 status if the principal nonimmigrant is lawfully working pursuant to portability benefits.
Further it says,
The Service expects, therefore, to propose a rule that would afford H-lB beneficiaries, who are no longer working for the initial H-lB employer, some reasonable period of time such as 60 days after leaving the initial H-lB employer to begin working for a new H-lB petitioning employer under the portability provisions. It is important to note that such a proposed rule would not, of course, take effect until it has been published as a final rule, after notice and comment, and any revisions. This prospective statement of policy is provided solely for informational purposes to Service personnel and shall not be utilized as a standard of adjudication in cases involving portability issues, unless and until promulgation of a final rule implementing AC21 105 with such an interpretation. Service personnel will be notified of any changes in the processing of AC21 benefits that may occur upon the effective date of a final rule.
There are few other memo's on this I will try to post the links for reference
All I can say is you are confusing your self and others on this....I am not posting any more this thread.
Just call your attorney and verify the same
Good Luck.

Just being paranoid, but is 797 the number for the "receipt notice" as well as notice of action? I know that when H1 or 140 is decided, the notice of action form is called 797. I know that the USCIS seems pretty clear in the FAQ, but just wanted to confirm that a receipt is also called 797

Well, I don't know where you got the 6/7 years from. But the way I understand it, 7% per country does NOT mean that any one country is guranteed 7% of the visas. It simply means that no one country will get MORE THAN 7% of visas. So yes, even if your country was issued a very few visas in that fiscal year if the rest of ROW applicants used up all the numbers, you may have to wait for a while depending on your PD.
So if what you are saying is true, then form example, country "A" has only one applicant. Since ROW collectively used all the visa,country "A" has to wait 6/7 years to get visa number?

I am sure the awareness and the seriousness was missing among the locals!!
Educate them , that more imp.. this has to be worked on!
One thought I have is.. if we register people with a minimum amount and reimburse them at the day of the rally, many will turn up..!
I know of cases where people agreed to show up but when the d-day came by.. not one ticked!!
Great idea! Yet. we don't want the media taking pictures of our registration table handing out money to rally attendees (reinbursing). I can just see headlines like "Rally attendees paid/bribed to attend"
Our effort needs to come from our hearts. We need to do this for America, ourselves and our families because this is the right thing to do!

So are you suggesting that everyone in EB3 ROW is unskilled professional?
And I think you need some reading lessons .... read my post ... the comparison is between categories for eg EB2 for IN/CHina vs EB3 for ROW

Understandable that Economic Stimumus Package is not a federal recuring benefit. However, ITIN holders (H4s) are eligible to claim child tax credit, why not this stiumuls benefit?. They should be given this benefit if they meet residency requirement. One should contact IRS to include ITIN holders to clain this benefit.
The IRS cannot make exceptions, since it is written in the law. However, the Social Security Act does not say that the benefit has to be recurring. I did get a reply today from the SSA. They claim the stimulus payment is a tax rebate, not a benefit. However, it cannot be a tax rebate, since the law was written to allow people with no income to apply for the check. There are even instructions on the IRS website that explain how people with no income can apply for the check. I am in the process of getting the opinion of an attorney. I will update you soon.
One last thing. I recommend that any discussions you have with the SSA be in writing. The SSA manager wanted to discuss this with me over the phone, but I insisted on written correspondence, because that is the only proof you have if this ever goes to litigation. The documents I have gotten so far already contain errors and contradictions that could be helpful in a legal case.

There is a reason why Indians are required to take a transit visa. Coz, in the past there have been Indians (at EU airports) who have claimed that they have lost their memory, do not remember who they are, don't have any ID and hence qualify for asylum on medical grounds. Now these gov'ts are requiring ALL Indians to have a transit visa so that if anyone pulls such antics, they have all the information that they need to identify the individual and deport. Some bad apples have f&^%ed it up for all of us.

Guys,
Wanted to started this thread to get reviews on different law firms
I can understand the quality and committment of lawyers can make a huge difference especially in this unprecendented situation where all EB categories are made current now and now there is a rumour that it would be retrogressed back probably sometime next week with a new visa bulletin.
A lot of lawyers who are really committed and sincere to their client's clause: Getting them Green Card, are working overnight and over the weekend also so that their client can file I-485 ASAP and on the other hand few law firms are acting as slackers and not even responding to their client's emails.
Anyway, I am interested in knowing everyone's experience ( good or bad ) with law-firms and their recommendation.
My Own Case:-> I work for a multibillion dollar telecom company and joined this company almost 15 mos ago with a promise that they would start my GC immediately. Till Now, they have not yet file my labor. Their lawfirm is Larrabee http://www.larrabee.com/ in sanDiego. I don't have much experience with them as my application is still in my company's internal queue but based on the basis of my little experience, I would certainly not recommend them
Thanks
DD
I would seriously consider Rajiv Khanna - immigration.com. Very responsive, never delayed my case and answered all my questions thoroughly. Imagine this:
The best example is applying for 485 during the latest visa bulletin fiasco. Everybody in the community had a hint that USCIS may only accept a few applications for July. On the friday(June 29) before Jul 2 my missing document reached Mr. Khanna's office. Since they had too many applications to handle, the staff did all-nighters and sent my paperwork Saturday afternoon. It reached USCIS Monday July 2 at 9:00 am. Such commitment and hardwork is unparalleled in my opinion.

My 'Employer #2' H1B I-94 and 'Employer X' H1B I-94 numbers matches with I-94 number that I got at 'POE'.
Receipt Data is July-2006 for 'Employer X' H1B.
......
Could you please provide following info
1. I-797 dates for Employer 2 and X
2. Last Date of entry in USA
3. Date when I-485 was filed
I-94 number being same does not mean much. One can have same I-94 number for COS from H1 to F1. On the other hand, one can have different I-94 with H-1B transfer. Typically, H-1B transfer means new H-1B petition for the beneficiary who is/was in H-1B status and is not subject to H-1 cap.
If beneficiary's initial H-1B was counted against cap in last 6 years, then subsequent H-1B petitions are not subject to cap and usually referred as H-1B transfers.

Hi.
My friend's wife is in a tricky situation. She has an approved EAD through her husband's I-485 petition.
She was working with company A on her own H-1 and decided to quit employer A and join new company B on EAD. At the very last minute company B has rescinded her job offer. She now cannot return to former employer A as well.
Is she in any status violation if she justs sits at home with an EAD but no job for a few weeks ?
Can anyone share their views ?
Thank You.

This question is not to undermine the effort, which was tremendous but just from a realistic point of view...
I'm just curious to know how long it will take (or rather how long we are prepared to wait) for the impact of this rally to be felt and what are the changes that can be expected from USCIS as a result ?
Say, after waiting for a few months, status quo continues, what further actions are planned to persist with IV's cause (i.e. more rallies or by other means) ?
If the same question has been already raised, please ignore.
Thanks.
