I would support this bill since it makes a lot of sense. I am not going to benefit from this since I have masters and not PhD but people who have sacrificed the lure of big money to live on campus with 2-3 roomies for almost 5 years in which time their friends who graduated are driving lexus and staying in 5 Br homes need some consolation prize. This is a great move for these students as well as the country.
While I definitely support this bill, I fail to understand your logic here. They definitely are bright candidates but they did everything by choice for the personal and professional gain. They should be given GC because they are asset to this country not because they don't own lexus or 5 Br house which by the way tells a lot about other hardworking people who own them.

No is the correct answer.. they are here as visitors (not residents - US tax returns are for US residents - tax return 101)
also they don't have SS# i presume, so how can you even think about adding them as dependents?
Good try though :)
IRS does not use the same terminology as USCIS. If you are working in the US on an H1B visa, you are a "US Resident Alien" according to IRS. Those who pass a "substantial presence" test in the US can be claimed as dependents if they do not have significant income in another country, and are not claimed as dependents by anyone else. IRS will take your tax dollars whether you have a SSN or not ;-) That's why they issue Individual Tax Identification Numbers. Dependent visa holders use the ITIN to uniquely identify themselves in tax filings.

What do you think it implies? I think what makes it so interesting is the fact that its a little controversial and actually makes you think.
Not sure I can really go into it without breaking the rules of this forum.

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.
Yes, thats what I am saying, too. Some of our friends perhaps had to look for a job longer, but some are even with the same comp for years and years, just reg 9-5 IT job, one guy is Sys admin, the other is programmer. I know it sounds unbelievable but no one complains about workload, having to sacrifice qaulity time with their familes, paying too much in taxes or car insuarance or similar. Moreover, they can afford to have vacation twice a year and they all have families, purchuased real estate and the likes.
In fact, in my home-country, coming to the US on H1 visa and then getting EB green card is literary unheard off. Very very few souls came via that route and not all succedded in getting their GC
The way things are right now is that my husband is married to his job, BECAUSE of VISA status sword, working overtime, sometime 24/7, not having time for his family and rather unsatsfied with the quality of life.
But then, that is nothing new, right? Everyone here is in the same boat.

I am primary applicant on our 485 application. Mine and my daughters case doesn't show any LUD. But my husband's status changed to case transferred to local USCIS office. He was on H4 for 6 years and have not used EAD yet. No gaps in Visas. no law violatiobns. Prerry Straight forward case. Recently we applied for Online EAD Renewal.
Any idea why his case might have got transferred ? What should we expect next?
I am really worried.

Most employers pretend as if they dont know anything about retro, whereas they have employees in their own company in that situation.
Lot of people do not know what they are gettng into, a lot of new H1b applicants go look for employers promising Green Card carrots and switch jobs only to find out at a very later stage that they are retrogressed. Same with sub labor, lot of people switch companies as they get sub labor, just to find out later they cannot apply 485 due to retrogression.
A lot of people still don't know what kind of mess they are in. I tried explaining this to a lot fo people who do not understand, and they never made an attempt to understand, thats the reason why IV still has only several thousands members where those affected by retro is in lacs.
My only advice to you is "think positive", "put a lot of effort in your skill and job", "stay put with latest news", "Help IV" and be careful with employers or lawyers or body shoppers

Ramba, what are different levels? example, I found something similar on flc data center website. How can I know which level I am in to?
Area Title: Town, State
OES/SOC Code: 15-1032
OES/SOC Title: Computer Software Engineers, Systems Software
Level 1 Wage: $29.48 hour - $62,111 year
Level 2 Wage: $32.92 hour - $71,347 year
Level 3 Wage: $37.37 hour - $78,603 year
Level 4 Wage: $41.81 hour - $85,838 year
Unless you your approved LC or PW determination by DOL of your old job, it is difficult know what level you are in. Generaly level1 is an entry level position and level 4 is highly exprienced position. Depending upon job descrption/duties, DOL might have allocated suitable level for your job in the LC stage. If your LC was filed before PERM, then it was only two level (level1 and level4). After PERM, they introduced 2 more intermediate level.

I doubt that there is any "transfer tax". As long as you have filed your income tax return that showed the source of that "saving" (good job there), you have already paid taxes on it. Also, your parent don't have to pay any tax on it since there can be no double taxation of the said money.

Before Nebraska service center retrogressed their processing dates I was able to speak with an IO. I asked her a few questions relevant to this.
There maybe a public USCIS rule / procedures that would confirm what she told me.
Q) When is the name check typically initiated
A> Soon after receipt
Q> Is my name check cleared.
A> wait a moment..... yes
I've also explained why Nebraska processing dates moved back...
1) Transfers from Texas
2) VB moving forward coupled with no pre-adjudication. Therefore they have to go back to older receipt dates.
3) 180 day name check rule taking effect -- clean up old cases.
4) Public processing date was internally known to be too far ahead of reality (and therefore causing service requests).
Now could USCIS hide behind name check now?
Probably not for more than 180 days, because you could file a WOM and win.
Can they stagnate processing dates --- yes, and there is a risk that they will around 2nd July 2007 date (last year's fiasco -- if I need remind anyone). That would make me barking mad since my receipt date is about 59 days before that.
A WOM will likely succeed when an individual is arbitrarily processed more slowly, and now name check is not an excuse. However, a WOM is much less likely to succeed when a whole group is processed slowly, since USCIS can always claim resource constraints. The happened with labor cert and BECs, the case(s) that I read the judge basically said to speed up one application would slow down another. So you need to show that you are behind the reasonable processing times with respect to others, then you can force USCIS's hand.
Looks like you may have gotten lucky with the IO that you encountered over the phone. I just tried reaching a level 2 officer. Unfortunately Nebraska center is closed at this time, so I got transferred to the national service center and possibly to a level 1 case handler. She seemed very polite and even sounded quite young ( intern !? ) . Here's transcript
She ran me thru several questions, default status update thats already on the online case status and finally I steered towards more specific questions
1) I wanted to check the status of my case, the online status has shown no updates since 7 or 8 months. Specifically was a namecheck initiated in my case?
A) Sorry sir, you have to make an Infopass appt for that, I have no access to that info.
2) Usually it should be initiated soon after receipt date, and completed within 180 days, right?
A) Yes sir, as per the new 180 day rule (seems to be aware of the new rule :) ), it should be done, but I can't tell you whether it has been initiated yet or not, or if it has been cleared. But if you doubt that it has been initiated and its been more than 180 days, then there's the new provision in law that your cards should be ordered immdtly, if everything else checks out (like PD etc). You have to make an InfoPass appt to get this info.
3) Can I place a Service request over the phone instead?
A) Your case is outside of our current processing date limits. You have to be atleast 30 days older than the current processing date at your case service center to initiate a service request.
4) When do you think the Processing dates will catch up with my receipt date?
A) The computer shows me that it will currently take 53 days (w.t.f !!) to get to your case !
I will probably give another try tomorrow during normal working times of NSC. Hopefully get to an IO who can tell the namecheck status.
But if its been cleared, then what next?? Just wait to see the PRD get stuck at July 2, 2007 eternally ???
I mean what cases are they processing ??? My PD is EB3 May 2001 !! Probably very near to front of queue. How many potential approvable *current* cases could there be that need to be processed before mine? How to get this information? Will an Infopass help to get such information?
If not then, whats the point of taking an InfoPass?

there remains a sliver of hope- its called the lame duck session when a lot of such measures are passed. post election, everyone feels "safer".
a marked up bill, ready for the house, could sneak through in the post election season. we have to keep trying!
Unfortunately almost nothing actually gets done in the lame duck!

Everything will be alright. It happened to me the same way .I just submitted an experience letter from one of my colleague who is still employed with my previous employer. My 140 was approved as soon as they received the documents.
I hope you have progressive experience (it means, growth within the company, as you gain years of experience). This is essential. Other than that, you should be good.

What you are advising her/him to do is lie to USCIS that he/she is sick when she is not. This is on the same lines as doing what those guys behind bars did, brining people on H-1B from India to the US without actually having a job for them.
Again, its people like you that is giving genuine legal immigrants a bad name, and putting us all (including yourself) in the LONG immigration queue!
I see that you have written letters and participated in other campaigns. None of those will materialize if you're teaching others to missuse the H-1B system. How hard is it for you to understand that these are the kinds of loopholes because of which we are stuck with no visa numbers?
Get a letter from your employer saying they are granting you a personal unpaid vacation as per your request(which can be done using a pre-dated letter to them). Make sure you are getting your medical coverage from them(if you have it through them). Provide that and an explanation that you are taking personal time off due to health etc/stress. Hopefully that flies with the USCIS.
good luck

I recently added pages to my passport in India while I was in Vaccation. It was painless process as I went through travel agent and have to pay extra money. No police verification is required if your renewing. Adding pages/renewal is all the same process.
If you apply in Tatkal, you will get your passport in a week. If you do in India, I advice you go through some travel agent.
Did not renew here as my job requires frequent travel at short notice.
If you are not travelling internationally then it is best to do it USA.
Thanks
