Do you guys really think this bill will become a law that too in its current state and the added amendments? I seriously doubt it. If it is then dont you think the corporate business lobby that has fought really hard to increase the h1 b's to 115000 would have just sat mum while the H1 B fees were increased? I think this bill is just getting too absurd to become into law. I dont know but it would be interesting to hear what the businesses have to say with the increase in h1b fees.
May be I am totally wrong but just thought of posting this because I have been reading so many depressing posts from everyone. Have hope and faith. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. At this point we need to strategise, which I am sure IV is doing it excellently. We may need to make a few compromises but try to make friends with others who are lobbying.
Please dont bombard me. Its just my thought. Please ignore this post if it offends you.
Guys,
Can we lobby to add an ammendum to pay huge penalities($50K) when all the current GC holders apply for Citizenships.

EB3 I is going to have a long wait. I had applied for Canadian green card and had received it. At present i have EAD and AP. Is it worthwhile to go into consular processing and work in canada or apply for a blue card or think about Australia. If this sounds okay how should i proceed.

How do you get Blue Card. I thought its still under review and not official yet.

You make these H1-Bs who have spent 6 years here (working on various products, technologies, ramping up, understanding customers, relationships etc) go back, they are going to start companies in India. Now all the capital stays out there. The same 5 products that could have been built in the US and sold to lots of companies abroad, will now have to be bought by the US.
The irony is that, FBI had already warned the American Firms on this

The story of memorandums is like this. If present law does not have provisions for certain things, then the government departments can publish a memorandum to give some kind of legal basis for their actions. Publishing a memorandum itself is enough to conclude that current law does have provision as such.
Usually these kind of memorandums are made against people who are vulnerable and do not have avenues/options to challenge. There were several memorandums made against undocumented workers not long time back. None of them stand the judicial scrutiny when challenged. Example, there was court ruling in many states that police cannot ask people about their immigration status.
The intentions of this memorandum is clear not to give any more H1Bs to small consulting companies.
I do not understand why some people in the forum have so much anger against the small consulting companies? This is just playing into the hands of anti's . Consulting through multiple layers is perfectly legal and a successful business model. No company wants to hire a person for 6 months project. It's been the goal of anti's to make small consulting companies look bad and they have been successful because of us. If this business model is bad, why not make laws to stop this type of business practice? If you ban that type of business, there will be no need for small firms hiring H1Bs.
This memorandum is just a blatant attempt to marginalize already oppressed and unrepresented H1B community. This need to be challenged not only because it's wrong but also because it's part of a systematic plan to marginalize legal EB immigrants.

Are you talking about doing this (ability to file 485 w/o current PD) as an ammendment to the Fence act (which just passed House) when it goes to the Senate?

Thanks for all the replies! I already contribute to IV, so all the mails about contributing to IV can stop :) You dont need to sell me IV.
I am considering an opportunity, but if I leave I might lose my PD as my current employer does withdraw the I140.
Without any reform, my guess is it is going to be 5+ years for my date to be current. Just wanted to hear a few other opinions.
Also, if there is any impending relief (like 485 filing by 2/15 thats being discussed), I would be interested in hearing about it. It would be terrible for me if I move and then a relief is passed immediately in the congress.
You can keep your PD if your 140 is approved from your current employer. I know of a person who did this succesfully.

There is vast difference between US and Indian housing market crash. India RE market will not collapse like here. There may be a melt down or small correction. The simple big reason is demand for housing in middle class due to economic growth. Based on population density, US is 9 times bigger than India. Lot of land in US. But housing land is so limited in India. So there is always demand. Second reason, there is no sub-prime lending in India. Third, in India, housing loan is based on cash worthiness rather than credit worthyness like in US. So we may not see such a massive foreclosure/bankrupcy in India to bring the price down considerably like in US.
However, now the prices or extremly high, such that it can not be affordabe to people other than NRI or IT folks. 1 crore houses are very common now. Based on US economy it will definitly come down. It will be depend on how hard IT/outsourcing bussiness gets affectd in future.
True, but you are forgetting the basic definition of demand. Demand is willingness to buy supported by ability to buy. If you are from any metros in India, think how many of your Non-IT, mainstream friends draw more than Rs. 50,000 per month? How can someone making even Rs. 50,000 a month afford 50 Lakh flat?
If there are 10 people drooling out side Ferrari showroom that does not mean there is demand for 10 Ferrari :)

Moderators, do you think it's possible to issue an email receipt to contributors? I donated $250 so far and the first $100 was done through my bank billpay.. However, the online billpay deducted the amount right away, and it didn't give me any indication whether the check was actually endorsed by the intended recipient on the supposed delivery date.. Worrying about that, I sent in my second contribution via paypal.
Writing an actual paper check, I would see a copy of endorsement online, or using paypal I would know it's cashed out via email. But this is not the case with my bank's (bank of america) online billpay. Thanks!
xu1,
Thanks for highlighting this issue. Going forward if our contributors would like confirmation that their check has been received, please write your email id in the memo section of the check or the account number section of the bill payment check. We have changed our Contributions (http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=44) page to reflect this.

It would be nice to have people donate and list down skills that they would be willing to contribute.
I am not sure if its legal or not but various members can contribute their skills in exchange of donation to IV. This way members with skills are giving their time to IV and Members of the forum are getting sound advice/guidance/service for small contribution to IV. Examples can be many like CPA, Tax preparation, Doctors, career guidance, Online tutoring, Software consutlancy. I am sure all the members are "SKILLED" in various walks of life.

Friends,
I did a quick search and did not find answer to this. Apologise if this is a repost.
But a co-worker of mine wants to travel on AP. After coming back, he will join my company (right now he is a contractor) as a perm employee on H1. Is it possible and allowed? Can he transfer H1 after using AP?
Our company attorney confirmed that his H1B will remain valid even after using AP. But she is not sure about transfer. I will post her reply once she gets back to him. But in meantime, if anyone has any idea about this, please share.

Suppose you work for Company A on H-1B. You get out of the U.S. and come back with AP. You become parolee at that time. File an H-1B extension with Employer A, get new I-94 that indicates your status is now H-1B.
6 months later, you get another job with Employer B. Since you already are on H-1B with Company A, you should be able to transfer your H-1B to Company B.
mhtanim, appreciate your input. Though this sounds logical, I was wondering if there is any link to CIS memo or any other resource to check this? Even our company lawyer is not sure on this.
What I said was just from logic. You are right... who knows how USCIS interprets this situation. However, I remember seeing one person in IV who has mentioned that he did this himself. If you really are planning to do this yourself, I would suggest that you do a paid consultation with Murthy or Rajiv Khanna.
