As per the document:
total EB2 visa available: 40040
Grand total of EB2 pending: 33850
So, technically all the EB2 applicants should get their GC during the fiscal year of 2011. Even in the situation where no fall down from EB1.
Seems like good news for many and hopefully foir EB3s as well if further fall down of visas occur.
Guess, USCIS should wake up and move the dates faster instead of jungling during last quarter of the fiscal year.

A huge chunk of Indians who come and file for asylum are fraud cases - citing ridiculous and manufactured cases of political/religious persecution! The article itself cites experts and analysts with their surprise. Somehow don't know why the people of the states mentioned in the article are so desperate ! Dynamic and risk taking, certainly they are, no doubt ... but looks like they don't see the limit... crossing levels of illegality and greed. Disgrace to the country!

He always does address illegals, remember we are taking piggy back ride ;) with illegals, itz 12 milllion/pound gorila if you tackle them it means it tackles legals,
guys once again, just understand the ground reality, illegals and legals are in same boat there will not be any bill addressing just legal issue or illegal issue, comprehesive reform is the only chance we got, which addresses both issue

Excellent. I am new in this cage..but I am proud to be here. I will definetly donate generously for 4 core for future lobbying. Also I would think..we need 2 avoid anti-immigration media such as CNN etc. I saw WSJ, Business Week, CNBC(Brian William news at 6.30), CNBC Maria, Washington post, New york time and some other local news paper helping us with covergae on this issue. We shouldn't be helping Lou dobb's kind of guys to boost his ratings. I decided to stay away from that chap!! and CNN. I know many of my friends regulary watch CNN and I advised everyone to switch to other channel..what u guys think. Once again congts all.. sleep well and enjoy..
Yes Shawine, you are right. In fact irrespective of IV's belief that likes of Lou Dobbs' can be ignored, I believe that they actually do significant damage in terms of swaying Americans away from our cause. I think it is essential to counter their agenda.
In fact am currently trying to find out how to set up an H1B fact check database wiki. Does someone know how to set up a free wiki?

What does AC-21 have to do with verifying out of status? Can you give more details on how AC-21 affected his I-485?
Thanks
Every employment based I-485 applicant has to show (read: prove) that he/she is maintaining valid non-immigrant status prior to filing of I-485 application since last entry into USA. The out of status days must be less than 180 days.
For valid H1 status, the LCA location dictates the job location. The job location must be 50 miles (I need to check on this) with in LCA location.
In this case, a person was working in area B but his LC (for green card) was area A. He claimed AC-21 (AC-21 allows person to work on different location for future GC job). His I-485 denied and he filed appeal.
In appeal it was found out that he is eligible for AC-21. However it was also found that at the filing of I-485 he was working in area B whereas his H1B LCA indicated area A, so he was out of H1 status (for more than 180 days) at the time of I-485 application. So his I-485 application was denied.

Hi,
I have had my D50 for 4 weeks now. I've just been on holiday and discovered that I'm getting a black circular spot near the top left of my pictures. The spot IS NOT visible through the viewfinder, only after I have taken the picture. With the aperture wide open, the spot is less defined, but if I close down to around F22 or similar, it becomes sharper & more pronounced. Also, it's not a lens problem, as I have tried both my lenses at ALL zoom focal lengths and it's still there. I have used a blower on the mirror but not sure what or where the problem is. Any ideas ?
Thanks !

Hello Folks,
I have a very urgent situation and would really appreciate your help.
Background :-
H1-b holder through consulting company A, filed for extension in Dec 2008 and got approved in 10 days for a valid duration till Nov 2011.
I was working with them on client projects through-out, and have valid pay-stubs until May, and possibly even June.
But I found a full-time job with a small company, who also filed for my H1 transfer. The application packet received USCIS on May 26, and they sent an RFE which was received by us on June 1, along with the Receipt notice. The RFE was for proving my duration of stay outside the US, since my lawyer put that time towards recapture. In hindsight, I should have asked them not to, but what's done is done.
Anyways, my documents have been received by USCIS on Wednesday, and I have no updates yet showing up online.
I have to leave for India on Saturday for my wedding next weekend.
My possible scenarios :-
1, Case status online changes to Approved, I can travel to India before receiving the approval notice ?
2, Case status is still pending, they need more RFE. In that case, can I ask my new company to provide the RFE when I am in India ?
3, Case status approved, I wait for a couple of days before I get my I-797 approval notice, that means I will have to change my travel plans. I really can't put it off, since I am traveling for my wedding next weekend.
Can someone advise ?
My travel to India is definitely happening, but can I go and get my visa renewed along with my wife, and come back ?
Thanks, and keep up all the good work.

Looks like everything in GM is on sale.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=ae2V3Y.7j85k&refer=news
Saturn is sold for $100 to $200 mn.
Who knows GM may sell the retired brands for 1 or 2 mn.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac#End_of_the_Pontiac_brand
Now the important question.
Did tatas overpay for jaguar and landrover ? Looks like they did.
Saturn has plants to produce cars, BUT NO TECHNOLOGY OF THEIR OWN. NO R&D.
Saturn sells rebranded-rebadged OPEL (GM - EUROPE, now sold to Magna) Vehicles.
While Jaguar and Land Rover are very strong brands with their own technologies and research & design capabilities. Besides Tata bought those brands when Rupee was historically high (below 40 per USD). So I don't think Tata made any mistakes.
I think it is Mahindra who is making mistake by not buying Hummer or Volvo or Saturn. I am very excited to see first Indian Vehicle to be sold in US i.e. Mahindra in 2009. No matter what, I will be the first to buy one.

Success Story: Showing a Valid Employer-Employee Relationship (http://shusterman.com/newsletterusimmigrationaugust2010.html#5)
As reported in a previous newsletter, a January 8, 2010 USCIS memo entitled "Determining Employer-Employee Relationship for Adjudication of H-1B Petitions, Including Third-Party Site Placements" has made it more difficult, and sometimes impossible, for IT consulting firms who hire professionals to work at third-party worksites to obtain H-1B status on their behalf.
The stated purpose of the memo by Donald Neufeld, Associate Director of Service Center Operations, is "to provide guidance, in the context of H-1B petitions, on the requirement that the petitioner establish that an employer- employee relationship exists and will continue to exist with the beneficiary throughout the duration of the requested H-1B validity period."
The memo puts particular focus on determining if the employer has demonstrated that it has a "sufficient level of control over the employee." See our H-1B Visa Guide for additional information.
We represent many IT consulting companies, some of which place temporary H-1B workers at client-sites as is common in the industry. In March 2010, we helped one of our corporate clients prepare and file an H-1B extension on behalf of a Senior Systems Administrator who had been working for the same employer since June 2009 in H-1B status authorized by USCIS.
Approximately 3 weeks after the H-1B extension was filed, the USCIS issued a 4-page Request for Evidence (RFE) essentially asking for a laundry list of documents, including Tax Returns of both the petitioner and beneficiary, quarterly wage statements, contracts, photographs of the worksite, etc. to demonstrate that a valid employer-employee relationship existed and would continue to exist for the full duration of the requested H-1B extension of stay. The RFE actually asked for evidence that the employer-employee relationship had existed since the original H-1B approval had been issued (some 9 months before the H-1B extension).
Fortunately, we had forewarned our client of the issues raised by the January 2010 memo and the company was able to provide us with much, if not all, of the requested evidence, including copies of contracts it had in place with the company where the employee was assigned. The contract included language that we brought to the Service's attention stating:
"Contractor shall have sole responsibility to recruit, interview, test, select, hire, manage, train, counsel, discipline, review, evaluate, set pay rates(including the classification of Contractor Personnel as exempt or non-exempt), and terminate the persons who provide the Services hereunder."
and
"On-site Contractor Personnel will be required to acknowledge that they are not employees of CLIENT COMPANY to agree to dispute resolution procedures regarding any dispute they may have concerning their employment by Contractor or concerning their employment status."
We were able to further demonstrate the petitioner's supervision of the employee by showing the hierarchal structure of the organization and evidence that the company had control over the day-to-day activities of the employee through regular service and progress reports.
This case shows the importance of preparing in advance for any possible issues as most RFEs issued by USCIS only allow the petitioner 30 days in which to respond. Because we had anticipated the issues raised in the Neufeld memo, we were able to provide sufficient evidence of the employer-employee relationship to satisfy the USCIS's concerns. This resulted in an H-1B approval notice being issued for our client a short time after our response to the RFE was filed.
In this era of increased scrutiny by the USCIS of most types of petitions, we would not suggest any consulting or staffing agency even consider filing an H- 1B petition if it does not have sufficient evidence of the existence of the employer-employee relationship, including signed contracts between the petitioner and the end-client. It is important to note that in many cases similar to this, the USCIS will only approve the H-1B petition for the duration of the contract between the employer and the end-client.

i guess its the overflow from other countries, which brings up a good question, why was EB3 ROW made unavailable earlier and the overflow sent to EB2 I ? Lawsuit anyone :confused:
Only they know how they work. As for EB3 -I, the only certainty is that come October EB3 I will revert back to the July PD (i am EB3-I may 02:mad:).
Yes. Its simple math. But if it was 10K visas a year, then why did they have to jump forward by more than 2 yrs? Nobody knows how USCIS works internally. The math that v have and the one that they have differ a lot and unexpected things (for good or bad) happen all the time.

I just got my Labor approved a couple week ago and now i want to file I-140 premium processing. But my lawyer's not allow me to do that coz once my I-140 approve i can't file my 8 th year extension. My 7th years H1B will expire on Aug 30, 2007.
I'm very confused now, on my understanding once i get my I-140 approve, i'm eligible to get my H1B 3 years extension.
FYI: i chose CP opotion, is that make me not eligible to get my H1B extension once my I-140 approve?
Please help and Big thanks

Yedy - I would appreciate that you let a healthy discussion take place on these forums rather than posting wrong information and shunning out people. The community is here to help and there may be many in similar situations. I am talking to a lawyer even before you preached it. This is a forum to get second opinions and real life examples. I am sure no one here (including you) takes the advice from these forums literally and implements it
