whoa
I did not know it can be that bad
r u working in the USA now?
:confused:
yes I am working in the bay area.
Back in 2001/2002/2003 I have seen many friends having to return to India (from the bay area) because they could not get another job. All the desi consulting companies that everyone bashes so often? they are the saviours. They are typically the only ones who hire in those times. All the big companies will have hiring freeze's and massive layoffs.
Its already started in the US (Sprint:4k, Lehman Bros 1300, Motorola 7500+1600, applied-materials 1000) but this is the mere tip of the iceberg.
Its starting from the financial sector:

but will probably spread all over.
The real mess will start in Q3 (thats when we'll know if we are really sunk or some last minute stimulus is goign to keep this recession short and quick). Most probably this time its going to take much longer than 2001/2002 to recover. Back then the dollar was strong, there was a huge fiscal surplus and inflation was not a risk. This time none of those things are there and stimulating the economy is going to take much much longer. Also, to an extent in 2001/2002 it was only tech that imploded. The rest of the economy (& consumers by extension who are the main drivers of the economy) was ok. This time its widespread, consumers across the board are hit.
The July VB was a huge blessing in disguise for lots and lots of people who will be able to maintain status even if they are jobless for a few months. Back in 2001/2002/2003 the option was to be out-of-status of return home. Many chose the latter. This time they can atleast get a job offer from a desi consulting company and keep looking for some consulting gig.

ask lawyer to file MTR and resend response to RFE along with it. You should get a quick response (within 4-6 weeks). If MTR is denied, ask to file appeal, but sometimes it's better to change employer and start from scratch. Appeal can be a long process.

Pappu,
Do I need to post my question on this thread or I can pass it on before in time to StarSun or you? B'cause posting my GC issue with personal information would not look appropriate on a public forum.
Let me know.
If there are personal details that is related to the question, please send the details to IVCOORDINATOR@GMAIL.COM Have the subject line:
IV Username, Aug 19, Conf call.
Can we post a question now or only after 8:30PM Thursday?
You have to be present to ask the question on the call, and therefore we prefer if you posted the questions on Thursday.

Citizenship comes 5 years later, if one's interested (and may not be everyone's goal).
Singing a country's national anthem is also different than taking the pledge of allegiance (the latter means you are pledging your loyalty to the United States):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance
Having said that, excellent job Pankaj!! You had the crowds mesmerized!

Everyone here aspires to be a future citizen of the United States of America. If GC process didn't have problems, we would already have been citizens. Those who haven't learn't to sing it, should do so soon. It can be asked in the naturalization quiz.

Thank you for the info. You might be correct. But there is no way for us to know that our application got transfered or not. I am just assuming this is the case for me so that I can feel better and not to worry for a while. I filed on July 19th to NSC. 140 approved from NSC.

If it’s small consulting firm with a mom-pop type attorney just be very care-full! I was in same situation in 2001 my H1B pimp promised me that my LC was filed but they were waiting to put me behind 2001 May 31 (all 245(i)) and that’s what they did....that LC is probably still somewhere in PBEC ...well I was new to the game and I ended up wasting almost 5 years on that.
Another story - my wife's consulting firm promised her that if she pays for LC they will continue her GC even if she joins the client we paid almost $7000 for LC it finally got approved probably few months back when attorney and employers stopped returning her call and e-mail. She contacted PBEC and we found that LC was approved...I'm sure they sold it someone else like us.
Anyone needs name of these two consulting firms just PM me
You must insist on photocopy and all receipts for your own record, your life depends on it!
My Lawyer does whatever my employer tells him. They never give any receipt notice or approval notice to employees.
They did not even let me file my EAD and AP along with I-485.
I can file EAD/AP myself but I'm worried they might not give me the receipt notice of my I-485 filed in july, in a last ditch effort to prevent me from fleeing(I don't yet have any intention btw) or atleast make it difficult for me.
I'm sure there would be many in this situation.
Any thoughts what can be done?

Relax guys. My online status still showing "Fingerprinting fee rejected and case is in suspense" despite having finger printing done at ASC a year back.
I cannot confirm or deny the following piece of gossip but...
A mistake has been made on the system for payments. Some bright spark for got to put a so called "where" statement into the billing system for USCIS after the pricing structure changes went into effect. I am told this is being dealt with, but some applicants may find incorrect fees on their accounts pop up. Each lawyer will have different way of dealing with this problem. If you are pre price increase and have a suspended case; this maybe the reason for it...
Good luck to you all. This is just a thought/gossip...

What IO told is correct. Untill the case 140 is not approved, EB information is not updated and IOs at the infopass has limited access.
If the 140 is approved, IOs at infopass can see this, otherwise they cant.
I was also under the same impression that IO at Infopass is able to see whether my case is in EB2 or EB3. She told me that she cannot see even though both of my I-140s are approved and interfiled(hoping success).

Piyush,
Your dependents are "in status" as their I485 pending. donot worry about it. You will receive your card within 3-4 days.
Currently they are of course in status. The problem here is with the RFE for which the poster does not have the required primary evidence. If the RFE is not answered (or even not answered to the satisfaction of the immigration officer), then the I-485's for the dependents would be denied, and then they would be out of status since the primary applicant is no longer in H1-B.

One worthless post!!!
Thank you for your information.I hope you know the situation right now in USA.In jan 2010 H1 people came to Newark Airport were asked to form in a separate queue as soon as they get down from the flight for two levels of interview.Some of them are sent back.Now you can't find employer to transfer your H1 immediately.Before two years it was possible to transfer H1 with out having recent pay stubs and they never asked client letter.Now if you don't have a job you can't transfer your H1 to anybody.
Before Sep 2009 it was two minutes time to take LCA. Now it takes 1 week time to approve LCA. We never heard about Employer-Employee relationship before 2010.

if u have a valid H1, plus a valid stamp...empoyer may not give u 485 receipt as u can re-enter w/o prob. Just on H1
However, if ur H1 VISa stamp is expired..u have to either use AP (which was not filed, so cant use) or get VISa stamping fresh appt.
The regulation above says you need H1 stamp AND original receipt notice of your I-485. So if you have to travel abroad, you should be able to ask the receipt from your employer.

Information is power. I also think not many people at IV will like the idea of writing to Indian newspapers. We shouldn't feel ashamed. Someone has to start somewhere.
It was Bob Dole who spoke about ED in an advertisement for Viagra.
As I wrote here (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=8494&postcount=218), point # 7
The prospective H1 new-comers from India, China etc should be properly informed about the obstacles they would face in the US when applying for permanent residence.

Well, first it was Consulting Vs Permanent, then EB2 V EB3 --> This was getting ugly when EB2 was moving fast, before the sudden pause and then USCIS announced no more movement or less than 2 week movement for every VB, and not "A Quota for US Master's or Higher" --> Well they are too many Ph.D's still waiting in line @ EB2-- not all qualify for EB1.. so chances are slim.. if you are from a retro county...
Only solution for this mess, that got created due to slow processing, erroneous VB on July '07, though helped many here with EAD, Labor substitution that used to exists, different processing center, RIR / non-RIR, different order for spill over from previous years and all ..is RECAPTURE of unused Visa and regulating the future process so new applicants does not have to go through the same mess we are going through..
Not sure.. We have been talking about RECAPTURE for many years now, but none happened until now... though we have tried again and again... may be very soon we can get out voice heard..
You can post any number of ideas in forum's.. but it is all easy said than done.. Think we need more focus and try hard to get one issue addressed at a time. A quota for Master's will not get you much ahead in the queue as there are too many "Master's" already waiting in the queue.. It is just my opinion.
