Interesting policy. A lot of companies do not sponser H1b and GC because of the woes, costs and hastles associated with it, though they would love to hire the right kind of candidate. But this company is ready to pass the right candidate just because they have to provide a letter?
Chandu,
We dont really know what their real apprehensions are behind not interested in hiring an EAD person..
It could be that
-- They had bad experiences in past with EAD people going out of status due to delays in EAD renewal
-- They have an impression that EAD people or like cats on walls...you never know when they will jump ship !
-- They dont have nor dont want to invest in having some kind of immigration expert in the company to help out employees. And feel (probably mistakenly) that taking on an EAD person, means to have to support him more than merely providing an emp. letter when required.
-- May (mistakenly) be assuming that once the EAD guy gets GC he would have to quit and join the original GC sponsoring company etc
But to simply cover their a88e8 they might put up a facade of "not interested in any kind of sponsoring--including providing proofs of employment etc when needed"

Re: Administrative fixes to alleviate issues faced by highly-skilled immigrants in <<state>>
Respected Senator/Representative <<lastname>>,
I am a constituent and an employment-based highly-skilled immigrant. << fill in your bio in 2-3 sentences max>>. I'm also a member of Immigration Voice, a non-profit grassroots organization working to fix the issues faced by highly-skilled immigrants like myself. Currently a million employment immigrants and their families are stuck in a backlog due to insufficient numbers and USCIS processing delays. It may be 6-12 years before these immigrants will be able to receive their green cards, if the immigration system isn't reformed.
Though Immigration Voice is interested in seeing legislative fixes passed by US Congress, it may take a long time for an agreed immigration reform to pass. Considering this fact, Immigration Voice has proposed the following points to President Bush's administration to fix some of the issues administratively. I urge you to support our cause by writing a letter to President Bush, as follows, to implement these administrative fixes without further delay.
"
Respected President Bush,
I urge you to implement the following administrative fixes immediately to help the highly-skilled immigrants waiting their turn in a severely backlogged system.
1) Recapture 218,000 unused visas wasted over the past few years administratively, in line with Congressional intent of providing 140,000 visas annually to our community.
2) Flexibility in the USCIS interpretation of "same and similar" jobs, to allow promotions and job mobility. Current USCIS rule is restrictive and pushes the applicant to the end of the line, if they accept promotions.
3) Allow filing of 'Adjustment of Status Applications', even when visa numbers are not available. This will not create an increase in visas, but will allow a number of immigrants to avail the benefits of changing jobs while waiting for their visa numbers.
4) Increase the period of Employment Authorization Document (work authorization) and Advance Parole (travel permit) to 3 years instead of the current practice of 1 year. This will reduce the burden on USCIS and on immigrants. It will also make travel to an immigrant's home country easier during emergencies.
5) Allow visa revalidation in the US as before. Currently, immigrants have to travel to their home country to renew their visas. If it was performed here in the US, it would be helpful in making it easier to travel back and forth during emergencies.
6) Restart premium processing for I-140 applications. Now that USCIS has cleared the receipting backlog, premium processing should be made available. Without it, many immigrants are unable to extend their stay beyond 6 years, if their labor certification was applied for after the completion of their 5th year of stay in the US.

I don't think it will do much good sueing uscis on this issue. The point is, they have the legal authority to be the one interporating the law. So, if there is "gray area" in the law, the law says it is their understanding that matters, not ours or any one else's. So, unless the law very specifically says it must be done in another way, you can not argue uscis did the wrong thing.
Now that we see the immigration law does not very specifically regulate how the flow should be like, so uscis have the authority to "understand the intention of the law" and act accordingly. You can't say you think the law means otherwise and thus sue uscis, because that argument makes no sense to the court. The court will only accept the argument when the government is apparently acting against the law.
Absolutely, I have seen misleading comments especially from EB2 guys. EB3 have to do something otherwise there is no future for us here. Now EB2 line will never end bcoz all new applications will come as EB2. Hoping for spillover after EB2-I becomes current is just a dream now that never comes true.

I urge you and anybody else who has gone through this to find out more about this by calling the OSC's hotline. (http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/osc/htm/engperliwdiss.htm) If I were in your situation, I would at least want to find out what my rights are, what is discriminatory and what is allowed by law. Call them and simply explain that you believe that you were not considered eligible for a job because you have an EAD card as opposed to a Green Card.
Exactly. I couldn't agree more if I wanted to.

India/China Quota numbers � Update | Klasko, Rulon, Stock & Seltzer, LLP: Blog (http://blog.klaskolaw.com/2011/04/01/indiachina-quota-numbers-update/)
India/China Quota numbers � Update
April 1st, 2011 by William Stock
While the USCIS numbers of pending I-485 make me relatively pessimistic on movement for India and China EB-2, the State Department�s internal case management staff are feeling more optimistic. In fact, we are seeing the National Visa Center issue fee bills for EB-2 India immigrant visa files with priority dates as late as November 2007, which would seem to indicate that NVC, at least, thinks the visa numbers will move at least that far ahead this year.
A caveat against reading too much into the NVC action: recall that it was imperfect information-sharing between USCIS and the State Department that led to the July 2007 �Visagate� debacle, and NVC likely has a small minority of the overall number of visa petitions with India and China EB priority dates in 2006 and early 2007, since so many of those beneficiaries could file for adjustment of status in July of 2007.
It�s also possible that NVC is simply trying to get cases set up with fees paid and documents submitted in case the numbers stay current for the rest of the fiscal year � but applicants would lose their filing fees if the numbers retrogress later this year.
We will have to wait for the May Visa Bulletin from the State Department, likely released by April 13 or so, for more detailed information on the State Department�s thinking.
Counting the dates..... Thank you all in IV team; great work

When you buy a home you sign a contract saying you will pay the loan amount at the end of the loan term with interest. There was a commitment made. And you are saying people who walk away without fulfilling their obligation are smart? Fool!
And who do you think is footing the bill for bailing out those banks? its you and me! You are not only not honest and ethical, you must be really dumb if you think you are not going to be paying for the mistakes of people like punjabi when they "walk away" from their homes!
I was asking for Ideas.. it is not just Kumar or some more people giving an idea that one should leave the house if the value of the house has gone down and now you have to move because of ur job and it is hard selling ur house where u may have to bear a loss ..
I already had conversation with american people ( not any desi's) in my office and they also had the same opinion as to leave a house if u have to leave because of job..
U tell me how wise it is to give a loan to a person without a down payment..The reason i said that other people are stupid is because.. i took an ARM loan of 5 years,, where i knew that i am not going to live in the house for more than 3 years and will later sell it..and there are people who knew that they are going to stay in the same house for more than their ARM period.. but didnt realize that they wont be able to make payment once the rate is re-adjusted.. i am calling those people's decision as stupid..
about me making a bad decision about buying a house.. well not 2 years ago..
i can sell the house for a loss of may be 20,000.. but why should i pay that money from my pocket.. i can keep that in my savings account and use it in my bad time..

Record Number of Americans in Prison
By DAVID CRARY, AP
When confronted with facts, like a typical "skilled" indian, our man ganguteli resorts to the following
a) Stereotyping
b) Evading the questions, starts dragging in the irrelevant stuff, be it madoff or american prison system
Hey ganguteli, if you are so concerned with the law and order system in US, why don't you go back to your "arsha-bharata"? I am sure that in India incarceration is very low because lot of criminals don't go to prison, instead they rise in politics like your leaders Advani, Modi , Laloo etc. (who would have languished in a prison in any other civilized country) and become prime-minister material. :D :D
Or are you planning to pratice some white-collar crime/fraud here after getting the coveted GC - like starting a "consulting company" to import indentured servants at dirt cheap prices? :D :D
They say, idle mind is devils workshop.
Ganguteli, I must say you have proven that in this thread itself, with irrelevant, off-topic responses. :p

Right but the here problem is that how to come up with written evidence of discrimination? These jerks do not send you an email "Hey, we do not consider EAD". Their pattern is generally as under.
I understand. For an analogy consider theft. You might not know who did it but you lodge a complaint with the police. Its their job to investigate. Sometimes they are successful, sometimes they are not.
In this case if the govt gets lot of complaints, and find a pattern they will investigate and find the dirt.
All I and a few others are saying, discriminating EADs is illegal, and there is a govt. agency to deal with these things. So, if anybody is a victim contact the govt. agency. By being quite we are not helping ourselves.

Let us all send AC21 action item mails to USCIS. Let us send some more through our spouses and teenage children. Also get some more signed by our friends and neighbors.
The letters are very generic. They can be sent by anyone including GC holders and citizens too. All it costs is a few Dollars! So what are you waiting for you? If you have hired a nanny, make her send one too :)

Now planning to cancel the visa stamping because of the PIMS delays. I hope i am still valid to fly as i have a valid visa stamp and a new petition from current employer too which i can show at port of entry. Do let me know your views on the same and if there are any probable issues....
you will be fine. i have done that earlier.. make sure they stamp I-94 with the expiry date of your current H1 approval... that is important..

I am happy to share the news that I received CPO hard copy on exactly Diwali Day. Lord Ramachandra Ki Jai.
Here are the details of my case and what did I do to get this CPO mail. It may help others to follow up with USCIS.
1. Applied EB-3 India in July 16th 2004 .
2. Waited for about until 2006 July, but no signs of EB-3 labor approval.
3. Applied EB-2 labor under PERM Sep 2006 and got approval in 7 days. this was amazing………..
4. Applied I-140 for EB-2 labor in Oct 2006 and received approval after 6 months, still my EB-3 labor not approved.
4. Applied I-485 on July 2nd 2007 along with my wife with EB-2 PD Sep 20th 2006.

6. Received the EB-3 labor approval in Dec 2007 and applied for i-140 for eb-3 and received i-140 approval in June 2008.
7. Now I have 2 i-140 approvals one EB-3 with pd of July 16th 2004 and other eb-2 i-140 with Sep 20th 2006.
8. Changed to better attorney who can better handle the i-485 in terms of the PD transfer and follow up with USCIS.
9. Attorney sent Priority Date porting request to Texas service center in June 2008 along with new g-28 forms.
10. Called at least 4 times in 2008, but got the response that my processing dates are not current yet means. Not reached the July 2nd 2007 or Aug 28th 2007 which is my i-485 notice date.
11.In June 2009 Called USCIS POJ method and got some nice officer in Texas service center who opened the SR to open my case as my case is out of processing time.
12. Got soft LUDs in June 20th 2009 and called usics cust service and came to know case is assigned to an officer.
13. In July 20th 2009, got email update saying the case is transferred to NBC for further processing.
14. Next day again got email, case is transferred to NBC and I will receive the interview notice.
15. Got interview notice to go to local office on Aug 5th 2009.
16. Online status changed to case transferred to USCIS office........
17. Went for the interview on Aug 5th 2009 to local USCIS office along with my wife, office was very nice. Officer asked general questions which are on i-485 (like have u been arrested, have you been involved in terrorist activities etc.) form and questions about my wife's name and marriage date etc.. Officer did not ask even for employer verification letter also, I myself handed over that letter to her. She did not even saw that letter.
18. Dates were not current on Aug 5th 2009, and officer told, she will take a decision after dates are current.
19. Waited for Sep visa bulletin and dates became current, as my case is at local USCIS office, all attorneys who are the members of AILA will have direct contact to local USCIS office supervisor ph no and email id. These details will not be known to applicants. My attorney sent an hard copy request on Sep 5th 2009 to local USCIS office to adjudicate my case as my PD is current.
20. Waited until Sep 15th no update was received from Local USCIS office or no update on i-485 LUDs online.
21. Took info pass on Sep 16th 2009 and went to local USCIS office and got nice Info pass immigration office, very co-operative officer. He told me that my case is now back to central storage location and waiting for the visa no. I told him my PD is current, officer himself gave me an yellow form (please request for this form, otherwise they don’t give it normally) to fill up to send to other department supervisor in local USCIS office. Filled up and gave the form along with my i-485 receipt notices and i-140 notices. Officer asked me to wait 3 to 4 weeks to contact again. No luck until Sep 30th 2009.
22. On Sep 26th 2009, attorney sent an e-mail to local USCIS office and got the standard response on Oct 1st 2009saying to wait for 3 months etc..Again attorney received an e-mail on Oct 2nd 2009 that my case will be adjudicated soon.
23.On oct 4th 2009 took info pass again and went to local uscis office, again got nice infopass immigration officer and explained that they will request visa no only once (recently Murthy law firm posted that way USCIS and DOS dept interact) and I need to wait until visa no assigned by DOS. Gave again yellow form to sent to local USCIS supervisor to look into my case.
24.Called 1-800 number and asked if there was any update on my case, got very very nice supervisor from customer service center, and he told me that my case is now assigned to an officer on Oct 6th and I should see result in 2 or 3 days.
25Atttorney sent an e-mail again to local USCIS office explaining my PD porting details just to inform officer again.
26.Got CPO email Friday oct 16th and received courtesy notice of approval i-485 on Diwali day on Oct 17th 2009.
If the case is at local USCIS and your PD is current, please take info pass every 2 or 3 weeks, and request for yellow form and fill it up and give to info pass officer. This will help to move the case faster if the case is at local USCIS office.
Overall, please call repeatedly to USCIS cust service to get some good officers and you will really here somany good things from them. What I understood from my exp, that the customer service officers now far far better and good than 6 months back..Really thankful to USCIS for providing good customer service.
I hope this post helps most of the people whose dates are current....

Officer asked general questions which are on i-485 (like have u been arrested, have you been involved in terrorist activities etc.) form and questions about my wife's name and marriage date etc.. Officer did not ask even for employer verification letter also, I myself handed over that letter to her. She did not even saw that letter.
18. Dates were not current on Aug 5th 2009, and officer told, she will take a decision after dates are current.
19. Waited for Sep visa bulletin and dates became current, as my case is at local USCIS office, all attorneys who are the members of AILA will have direct contact to local USCIS office supervisor ph no and email id. These details will not be known to applicants. My attorney sent an hard copy request on Sep 5th 2009 to local USCIS office to adjudicate my case as my PD is current.
20. Waited until Sep 15th no update was received from Local USCIS office or no update on i-485 LUDs online.
21. Took info pass on Sep 16th 2009 and went to local USCIS office and got nice Info pass immigration office, very co-operative officer. He told me that my case is now back to central storage location and waiting for the visa no. I told him my PD is current, officer himself gave me an yellow form (please request for this form, otherwise they don’t give it normally) to fill up to send to other department supervisor in local USCIS office. Filled up and gave the form along with my i-485 receipt notices and i-140 notices. Officer asked me to wait 3 to 4 weeks to contact again. No luck until Sep 30th 2009.
22. On Sep 26th 2009, attorney sent an e-mail to local USCIS office and got the standard response on Oct 1st 2009saying to wait for 3 months etc..Again attorney received an e-mail on Oct 2nd 2009 that my case will be adjudicated soon.
23.On oct 4th 2009 took info pass again and went to local uscis office, again got nice infopass immigration officer and explained that they will request visa no only once (recently Murthy law firm posted that way USCIS and DOS dept interact) and I need to wait until visa no assigned by DOS. Gave again yellow form to sent to local USCIS supervisor to look into my case.
24.Called 1-800 number and asked if there was any update on my case, got very very nice supervisor from customer service center, and he told me that my case is now assigned to an officer on Oct 6th and I should see result in 2 or 3 days.
25Atttorney sent an e-mail again to local USCIS office explaining my PD porting details just to inform officer again.
26.Got CPO email Friday oct 16th and received courtesy notice of approval i-485 on Diwali day on Oct 17th 2009.
If the case is at local USCIS and your PD is current, please take info pass every 2 or 3 weeks, and request for yellow form and fill it up and give to info pass officer. This will help to move the case faster if the case is at local USCIS office.
Overall, please call repeatedly to USCIS cust service to get some good officers and you will really here somany good things from them. What I understood from my exp, that the customer service officers now far far better and good than 6 months back..Really thankful to USCIS for providing good customer service.
I hope this post helps most of the people whose dates are current....

Well, no - my basic argument is that the banks bloated up the 'real' asset value - I had the money then and I have the money now and I am still paying my monthly mortgage amount - the point is about the inflated housing prices.....with these banks knowing the actual value of the asset and still going ahead with the extravagant loans.
From another point of view, tell me 1 reason why would you lend out money to somebody who you know would not be able to pay you back?
Let me try to understand your logic. You don't have money and went to bank and requested that they help you out with a loan. They give you loan based on what you bid your house and it is all their fault. If only banks had refused the loan, you wouldn't have bought the house. Is this your logic? Do you ever think for yourself?:confused: I am not going to say that banks were not at fault. But to act like nothing is punjabi's fault is ridiculous.
BTW if you think he can afford it now wait for another year. The full impact of these mistakes will be known by then. We will be deep into a depression. We will have on top of it ALT-A resets and his house will lose more than 20K for sure. My opinion would be to sell it now and take the hit or wait and lose more. The housing will not rebound to the 2007 peek for a decade.

I was double minded to do porting or not. Now I am considering it very seriously. Got a green signal from my current EMPLOYER to go ahead for EB2.
Good Luck dude. You should definitely go for it.
