Please bear in mind, that immigration voice DOES HAVE alternate ways to get the amendments into the final text of the bill if both Cornyn and Brownback's amendment are not floored and voted in this final lap of the debate. So please be patient and please have faith.
The Brownback amendment is a direct result of IV's efforts in Senate offices with QGA's help. The amendment can be read here : http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=876
In order to give one more push to this amendment, we urge you to send a webfax support Brownback Amendment. Its is under the webfax menu as webfax Number 15.

I do not think this is standard. I worked for a consultant company for 7 years and never saw an agreement like that!!
Yes !!!Also to me, it feels very fishy. The topic of this document is very misleading too..."Time Sheet Agreement" and they have included all the 'bonded labor' clauses in it...Thats why I have posted it here in this forum to get some feedback from experienced people who might have come across these nonsense.

Let them inform. Logically nothing should happen. The company wants to be in the safer side by informing USCIS.
Since you are in EAD, take unemployment and enjoy life. Hope for the best and get ready for the worst.
My company laid me off in one day without thinking a H1B guy has to leave the country immediatley. I asked them to buy my car, furniture and appartment lease as an obligation for fair value. Because of that i got 2 weeks more time to think over. Anyway they are not going to pay. Did you ask the company to pay you a return airfare to your country. If you ask, they will need time to research and you will get more free time.
This is completely wrong. Once you are in EAD and got laid off...you lose your status. There is one more thread in this forum where one guy applied for unemployed benefit in EAD, in a weeks times the ICE was coming to his home and severed the notice to appear in the court. That guy started the thread and every one bashing him for applying the unemployment benefit. But he later came to know that his employer notified the USCIS that he got laid off during EAD. So he lost his status and they wanted to deport him. I am not sure about the outcome. He is here in only in the IV. That thread was created in the last 2-3 months time. So search for it.
There is definitely some legal implication otherwise why your employer wants to inform USCIS. They wanted to be in the safer side. So if anything happens you are the one going to face the music. So check with some good attorney.

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).

Friends,
I have been reading a lot about recent mis-handling of AC21 cases. Majority of them were due to employer revoking an approved I-140 after 180 days of filling the I-485. While I do not know laws fully and my understanding is limited, let me share some thoughts on this.
To me, this seems to be an un-ethical tactic by some employers; AFAIK there is no legal requirement for them to do so.
Moreover, it is a Loose-Loose situation for all the concerned parties.
Here is how:
1. For candidate - additional burden of filling an MTR, risk of loosing EAD & Job and financial burden. :eek:
2. For CIS - Addional burden & wastage of resource not only cancelling 140 and sending notice, but also most likely they will have to reverse the decision when candidate will file MTR. (For that matter, there is no fees to cancel an I-140)
3. For employer - Employer gets nothing in return, if he doesn't want to be happy in a sadistic way. Apart from this, it is almost certain that it will bring bad name to employer among future & current employees if harassment was the only motive.
This whole exercise seems to be useless. :confused:
The AC21 law allows employee to move freely using EAD, why should employers be allowed to harass an employee when it is almost certain that employee has done nothing against the law? Isn't this un-ethical? This useless exercise will help none but the attorneys in terms of additional money filling an MTR.
Can we do some brain-storming and come to some strategy to improve this situation? A letter campaign is already going on. Please share other ideas.
One approach I can think is to meet officials and explain them to automatically disable the employers from doing so...An approved 140 should not be allowed to cancel, once 485 is filed and 180 days passed. This will stop the wastage of resources and help to improve efficiency for CIS. Is there a chance we can convince this??? more on the side of administrative fix???
How about making an official AC21 form (like we've AR11 for address change)? CIS can charge a small fees to file for AC21, it will guarantee candidates that their AC21 application has reached to CIS.
Thoughts?

gc_chahiye,
Thanks for your suggestions.I checked with my Lawyer about the job title .she says job responsibilities matter in this case.Job title is for any company's internal designation it seems.
I don't know exactly what AC 21 regulations are.I just want to follow any best Lawyer's advice in this matter.
The term Technical Recruiter is very generic This job can be done by any person who doesn't have any technical background .But If a person with good technical skills will bring more value to the company.
The area which i'm focussing is basically IT Sales.Company which is offering me this Technical recruiter position is impressed with my technical back ground and hiring me.They are actually looking for some one who is very senior and having good amount of experience with Technical back ground specially ERP Packages.The role is also not confined to just recruiting but meeting the clients and bidding the tech support and new impementations for the company.
I personally see lot of career growth in this path.But unfortunately there is nothing one can do in this matter.
Thanks,
h12gc
I am little more confused now: even if we ignore the title for a moment, none of the duties you have described:
- hiring software engineers
- bidding on tech support and new implementations
- meeting clients to bring in new business
seem to be inline with that of a software engineer...
I would be uncomfortable about this, but if you believe your lawyer can prove the job duties are substantially similar to that a software engineer in case of an RFE (again going by the O*NET codes as thats what USCIS looks at) you can take a chance.
Atleast get a second opinion from another, good attorney before you decide anything. The market is in general good, and there are lots of jobs around, dont lose years of your waiting time because of one lawyers interpretation of the rules just for the sake of this position.

[QUOTE=beppenyc]The problem in French is different. They bring the immigrants from Africa and North Africa to work to build the subway, La Defense (ask yourfriends),Eurostar ect ect. French has a controll of the number of immigrants, is not so difficult. The problem is that they put the immigrants living in the ghetto (Banlieu) and to not give any hope of future. When all the big project were done, they forced to sent the immigrants home, but without success. If you are really interest to see what is the reality in France, get this movie made in 1997, LA HAINE....
Yes, this is not a linear equation that illegals take American jobs and Amecans do not take menial jobs because of lower pay. If Americans were ever to take such jobs, and pays were higher, it would add to inflation, as beppenyc correctly points out. You have to be able to think strategically to understand this.
Now this issue about fairness for the legal immigrants. Normal wait time for this process is 5 to 6 years, if you are lucky. Which means that lives of such people are on "hold." They can't be promoted, accept salary increases. This is "tacit" exploitation. 5 to 6 years is a long time in US where things are more dynamic. How unfair. Also, per the law any social security they contribute will never be credited back to them because they have to work for atleast 10 years, the work visa duration is six year. Skilled workers make reasonable salaries so this is a huge amount of money which thay might never see.
Perceptions maybe far removed from reality. One of them is that immigrants will continue to bear injustice in US while globalization takes its toll on US competitiveness because of populist measures, that will hurt it in the long run.

Actual daily press and wire service photographers will undoubtly use 4mp. You may not be aware, but all the goreous 2 column color shots you see on USA Today etc. are printed from files that are usually 700k - 800k. There are heavily compressed for transmitting. All the wires do that. They don't get full files. The most attractive things to me are the high ISO performance, the ability to customize colorspace amd I'm anxious to test the new autofocus capabilities. The 8 mp is a plus for shooting for a mag or other output. Even at that, I've had 1D shots as a glossey mag color that looked great. One advantage higher megapixels give a sportshooter is for sports like football. Due to the size of the field, the ability to crop more gives you more field coverage. But then the question is will you have enough time to work with files that are twice the size. I'm sure that's why Canon listened and gave us 4 MP as an option.
I don't doubt what you say on iota and I've heard stories from the Day in the life of africa talking about the abilities of digital. But I also know the ability of this world to adapt and grow. Today people ay complain about file size but who knows tomorrow. And what about when thos same PJ's want that image for other form factors than may require greater resolution? It's an evolving world and its pretty short sided to believe that a certain file size is all that will be used.

I think so. I have one of my friend. His case got transfer to Texas. He filed 2 months earlier than me. He got approved already in late August.
Thanks,
Wata,
If I were you, I would rather wait atleast till Nov 2006 before converting I-140case to premium processing because as you said NSC is currently processing I-485 cases for Dec 2005 and it would take 5/6 months more from now to come to June/July 2006 to process I-485 at current pace. But Again this is my personal thought....
Moreover, in order to take advantage of AC21 portability you I-140/I-485 case has to be 6 months old. So getting I-140 approved through premium processing does no good as you would have to wait till Dec 2006 anyway for your I-140/I-485 case to become 6 months old.
