Hi Experts,
The question i've is:
I heard from my Immigration Lawyer that,from November 01, 2008, any person who works in Information Technology (IT) and who has Advanced Degree from USA like Master's is eligible for EB3 Category only and not EB2 category. Please confirm if the above statement is true or not.
Thanks,
Abhi

Is there a pattern for RFEs? Why some on gets an RFE for AP?
Good question - based on what I am reading on this forum, it seems to me like the RFE is requested for people who travel a lot in and out of the country. My wife has traveled a lot of times - I even lost track in the last 5 years - and she did tell me that they did not take her I-94. It would be still attached to the passport and when she enters back - if the travel time was less than 20 days, the officer discarded her new I-94 and asked her to keep the old I-94 - in some cases, he/she would just take it during entry. This happens mostly when she travels to Mexico or South America. The evidence that was being requested is the dates of travel and type of visa used to enter the country with the required documented evidence on the passport (color copy).

There is no gross misconception at all. IV core has gone out of its way on many many ocasions to explain that 485 measure is only short term tactical decision since they cannot do much currently with appropriations bill. Do you really think that the people who are opposing the 485 measure are so dumb that they can't even understand simple english. They do understand that this a short term tactical decision and the focus is on solving retrogression either with CIR SKIL and other bills as and when the oportunity arises.
The 485 issue is raked up over and over again because the overwhelming majority of people who are opposing 485 measure have already applied for 485 and dont want other to apply for it. I will not go into deatils explaining how it will not affect them and so on because this was discussed in detail in the long 485 measure thread.
I hope IV does push for the 485 measure but if for whatever reason they change there mind and dont push for 485, I would be disappointed but that will in no way affect my attitude towards IV. Over the past year or so I have seen enough of core tem to say they take a decision in the best intrest of IV.
there is a gross misconception that iv is focusing "only" on 485 filing. and repeating is ad libidum is not helping.
the 485 measure is a short term tactical decision.it was taken after it became clear that nothing else could be added to an appropriation bill currently.remember that the attitude of the majority is to have a comprehensive bill ONLY.
certain members took to angrily denouncing the whole idea leading to a great deal of unpleasantness, of course the fault was on both sides as no tolerance for the opposing opinion was shown. it's sad though that some of these people now bad mouth iv on other forums.
as long as we insist on bickering and being divided, we will never succeed
let's just stop now, if that's all everyone wants to do on a daily basis. we can all stew in our own sweet juices for the next 20 years...WAITING.

is it even legal for you to pay for G.C.
by law i think your company should pay for all G.C. related expenses..
correct me if i am wrong

Threads like these may be used by anti-immigrants to highlight fraud in H1B visas. Employer pays H1B and green card costs, Period.

I had the exact same RFE. I'm on H1 since 1998, and you can imagine how many times I have left and entered USA. I have about 8 H1B extensions. Here's what I sent...
1). Cover Letter stating list of document to show evidence of law ful status in US.
2). I-94 card issued by CBP at the last port of entry.
3). ALL the H1B extension notices issued by USCIS. Its important that there are no gaps in dates on the extension/change of status notices.
4). passport copy containing all US visas and entry and exit stamps.
5). A document explaining the entry and exit dates matching the stamps in the passport.
6). Few pay stubs from the current H1B/green card employer that you are currently working.
7). Few W-2s for last few years.
Usually the I-94 that is on the extension of stay issued by USCIS is the same number thats issued by CBP at the Port of Entry. So, USCIS should be able to match the entry and exit information and extension of stay notices
I'm sure they know that one surrenders the white I-94 card when they leave US.
Hi ,
I received RFE on my I-131 application asking for all the I-94's that is being issued to me.
I had been in and out of US many times and there's lot if I-94's involved and I don't anything with me except the latest. What options do I have?... Also couple of times during my earlier trip (initial visits in US), the AIR Line didn't even take the I-94 from my Passport which ultimately I lost.
My Passport has all the entries indicating my Date in and Date out...
Gurus - What do you advise on my case...
Anybody's input are highly appreciated and I know we could somehow get the I-94 copies by requesting USCIS. (That is time consuming)... I have to respond in next five to ten days...
What options do I have?...
Thanks.

You have three options
1) Talk to your employer and see if he is willing to support your I-140 while you are away on leave of absence, if he agrees then great!
2) Talk to your school and check if they will differ your admission by an year.
3) Go anyway...forget about US, you can do great in Europe or Asia too

First of all, ethnicity has nothing to do with hard cap.
First of all, you have to understand what hard-cap implies. Hard cap is a new thing proposed in the bill out of judiciary commitee that PREVENTS over-subscribed countries(Usually that's India and China each year) from using the UNUSED visa numbers each year.
EMPHASIS ON UNUSED.
So, given the 10 percent per country(it is 7% today) each country can and would use UPTO 10 percent of available visas first. FIRST. Usually what happens is that India and China use up their numbers and other countries do not use their own quota. So the unused numbers would be then alloted to India and China rather than being unused to diverted to FB categories.
So the removal of hard cap has NOTHING to do with diversity - ethnically or nationality-wise. HARD CAP DOES NOT PROTECT any country.
Today, the soft cap exists, and the numbers are retrogressed only for India and China. REST of the world is current. Hard cap would make things worse for only those countries that have higher demand and WASTE the visa numbers.
Please get your analysis on hard-cap Vs Soft-cap, the visa usage numbers etc. before you emphasize ethnic diversity as the two have NOTHING to do with each other.

"Representative Elton Gallegly (R-CA) introduced H.R. 133, Citizenship Reform Act of 2007, which would limit citizenship by birth to children born to at least one permanent resident or citizen parent."
Does this mean that if we do not have green cards our childern born here are not citizens. Am I understanding it right..
This is just a proposal still and I fell will not become law anytime soon.

This is a very good PDF on USCIS website..AILA has many rights to demand explaination from USCIS...they do ask questions about EAD extension etc...
We should figure out a way by which AILA demands answers from USCIS regarding using the 140K wasted visas because of slow processing...
IV Seniors/Organizers....any inputs on this?

I, personally, do not know anyone who lives in Canada and is complaning about jobs. Every beginning is difficult but for us who come to Canada from the US, I do not think the beginning would be difficult at all. Even with their famous Canadian exp only requirements....
Also, when you guys weigh in job prospects in Canada in comparison to being on H1 in the US, do you consider that your spouses would have a fair chance to at least re-start their careers or start their new careers, or do you think / know that your spouses will actually continue to stay at home?
In that case there is no difference between staying here or going there, right?
Agreed. In addition, you don't have sword of VISA status hanging on you every morning when yuo wake up.
I can not convince my self about one would not get job forever. Few of my friends struggled for jobs for about six to ten months but then they actually got good jobs and that is even in industrail engineering area with indian experience.

They will stamp for the latest i797A. The old one is obsolete. If you notice the I94 numbers are the same.
You are right on the I94 numbers; they are the same. But how come the old one is obsolete. Its valid till June 2007. And the latest 797 is from July 07 till July 2010. They'll have to combine both I797's dates to stamp till 2010 or they'll go with the first 797. Am I right??

Dude thats why we started this topic. To see feasibility of living in Canada but working in US. Windsor/Detroit are the 2 cities closest to each other across US/Canada border.
If you can get job in detroit area you can do this. You wont pay any more tax than you would have made with same income in canada.
