I am currently on H1 and plan to get married in India next month and file 485 for me and wife next month. She will be able to travel with me on H4. If she starts using EAD after getting it, does that invalidate my H1? I plan to continue with the same employer on H1.
No it does not invalidate your H1. You can keep working on your H1.
Disclamer: Specific situation might defer. Consult an attorney.

They are worse.. they do not respond quickly, never let you talk to attorneys directly.. have to go through the secretaries and to top all this they mess up the applications.. in short they suck!

If we get this thru do we still need CIR? Also I guess this looks more better with the limit introduced by an amendment (don't rememeber who it was) to limit the numbers doesn't come into play

I did not find this invalid. But the NSC update from last year also doenst say as how long it was valid. We really need to talk to an attorney.
As for me, I am going to file my I 485 by July 31st if I dont receive the reciept notice from USCIS. We can just show other proofs that it was more than 15 days that we filed our I 140.
In this case we dont know till when the update is valid. so it can't b said that it is invalid also.
so I am planning to wait till Aug 10 to get the receipt notice, otherwise i ll fle myself with the fedex tracking number and the letter from USCIS about the labor approval.

Look at the unity in our diversity...for a moment while reading some of the comments I forgot I was in the US and looking at an supposedly elite forum...Bravo!! Keep it up Indians (Tamilians, Gujaratis, Marathis, Bengalis, Biharis, etc..)
One more thing, if you are upset with a person who misbehaved with you (in this case, rudely told you he didn't know any language other than Hindi), then logic tells me I should be upset with that person and not the reason (in this case, language) itself.
I belong to a Hindi speaking part of India, and I have lived in Pune, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. I've had people tell me very rudely to talk in the native languages of these areas and I've tried, sometimes successfully and sometimes, not so much. The rudeness of a few members of the community never led me to form a general opinion. I've very close friends from all over India.
It is my opinion that one should try to learn the local language. It bodes well for everybody and makes life easier. As matured people that we are, I think this is a very trivial issue to fight among ourselves or get emotional.

Just a simple question. Corporations are arguing that every year 100k new jobs are created in high tech. Even 75% of the new jobs are for H1b then only 75k H1bs are needed. Even if you include other jobs teacher,Healthcare you do not need more than 120K every year Why do you need unlimited H1bs? Any pro immigrant lobbying group is not giving justification in numbers though everyone accepts there should be increase in H1b numbers.There should be increase in GC numbers as backlog had increased(But in this case also no one gave correct numbers based on requirement) but nothing wrong in H1b quota and some regulations in H1b to minimise abuse.
Another aspect is in the bill they gave 115k H1b for 2008. If they do not put restrictions your company cannot get any new H1b as most of H1b quota will be used by Indian consulting companies in one day. Do you think it is correct?
If not correct what is your solution? Corporation solution for this problem is unlimited H1bs by giving exemption to STEM and US master degree holders from H1b quota.
I am also opposing the restrictions in H1b program in the bill. But I do not have any alternative solution for the problems in the H1b program.
Again, there is a common misconception that companies have unlimited access to talent in other countries, and the only limiting factor is the quota of H1B visas.
Not true, by a long shot.
To give a simple example, our company is looking for people in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Canada and UK since the pool of qualified people in India has dried up in our field. Can anyone guess where is the biggest talent pool? Nope, not in Bangalore, its right here in USA!! Not all companies are looking for the cheapest person. They are looking for the best person. And in many cases, the best person is already here, and has gathered more experience over the years working for US companies. But they cannot hire her, simply because she is on a visa and thereby beholden to another company. If she had a GC, that would free up the talent pool and thereby make many companies less reliant on H1Bs. Increasing GCs for EB candidates has the same effect as increasing H1 quota, with the added benefit of making the cream of the crop available and reducing the uncertainty and hassle of hiring an H1.
This is why it is in the best interest of companies to support EB GCs.
My friend Senthil makes the same mistakes (repeatedly, unfortunately):
(A) Assuming that "good" companies will not be affected by any change of increase in fees for H1B, since they presumably have unlimited pockets and unlimited access to unlimited talent. (Big ha!ha!)
(B) "Good" companies can always get to hire people in US if they exist, and the only reason they hire H1 is that they cannot find anyone in US as there is no one in US who is good enough for the job for love or money (Bigger ha!ha!)
As to the question "then why are companies not doing enough for EB candidates", I do not know, and neither does anyone know, truthfully. Maybe they are, but as someone pointed out, no single player in the CIR game has enough clout to run the whole show. Or else the bill would have been passed long ago.

Thomachan,
We need more people on this forum and in the world like you!!
Very humorous insight and practical perspective.
Thanks for the compliment bondgoli. Being a person who has slept in the airport (floor) on quite a few occasions I have realized that people still somehow think that they are paying "big money" and so need good treatment. That is no longer true. The competition among providers has lead to their own (and ofcourse ours) decline. My kid always makes sure the nintendo ds and a few novels are packed up anytime the sentence "we will have to fly" is pronounced. Now we also pack up a few extra bed sheets and I am an expert now to spot the warm areas to sleep. We also keep turn watchin over the stuff when the rest sleep (ofcourse on the floor). And yes, we dont hold any hatred against the airline employee because they are "nothing" and can "do nothing". So friends if you see an Indian family sleeping in any airport dont hesitate to come and say Hi.

I am new to the site and have been reading these posts and I have very little knowledge regarding the greencard processing. But as far as I know, law is not clear in this matter and this results in different interpretations by different people. There is also little scope for any law suit as the State Dept is the ultimate decision maker in these issues. see section 202 of INA Act
"(B) 1/ Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the authority of the Secretary of State to determine the procedures for the processing of immigrant visa applications or the locations where such applications will be processed"
>> Good find. I havent noticed this. I will check this. This appears to be be granting immunity against law suits, if not, at least, weakens the claim of lawsuit <<
Also it is not clearly explained if EB categories take preference or country limits have preference over EB categories. The State Department can clearly argue that EB2 is entitled for 28.6% of total EB visas and per country limit does not apply as EB2 category still has unused visas left for use this quarter and they intend to maximize the use of total EB2 visas available. I think we should all stop arguing(because in the end it will not change a thing) about who should get the first chance at Green card and pray for all those friends who have been waiting for years and sincerely hope that their wait ends soon. Instead we should concentrate on how we can help each other and see about how we can improve the process
Initially my understanding was per country limits do not apply only in the final Quarter and PD trumps everything else. How ever, the snip from Nov05 VB says that AC21 modified this and unused visa numbers in any calendar Q can be assigned with out per country limits. You are exactly right. Some one in the line has to get out so that the line moves and people get ahead.

02/14/2009: Tough Times Ahead for Professional Foreign Workers in EB-Based Nonimmigrant or Immigrant Journeys
The just relased arrests and indictments of eleven people for H-1B frauds by U.S. District Attorney in Iowa may not be taken as an isolated event or incident. It is a signal showing government's determination to crack down abuse of the employment-based nonimmigrant and immigrant proceedings for the purpose of alleged protection of U.S. workers' jobs. This is a union-backed government. Besides, current economic crisis allegedly mandates the government leaders to take an action to protect American workers' jobs. No one will be in surprise to see Senators Durbin and Grassley reintroducing sooner or later their H-1B and L-1 reform legisation which they introduced last year but failed to make it before the last Congress closed at the end of 2008. The H-1B and L-1 reform legislation will mandate the agencies' reinforcement of enforcement activities against the abuse of such visas and tighten the threshold requirements for these visas in a line similar to the TARP-funded employer H-1B rules. Reinforcement of enforcement actions is soon to be made easy because of the two developments. One is reengineering of agencies's filing system and database in a direction of "account" system for each involved employer, each representative, and each alien worker, allowing detection of violation of the rules easy. The USCIS has been pushing such reengineering process in the form of electronization of filing of petitions and applications using "account" system and building such database. The DOL has also been working on such reengineering and is scheduled to implement it beginning from May 2009 for H-1B labor condition application filing using new ETA 9035 form which is designed to accomodate such account system and dababase and from July 2009 for PERM labor certification application filing using new ETA 9089 form which is also designed to accomodate such concept. The other development that makes the government's enforcement activities easy is electronization and data-sharing system among different agencies and their database. Electronization of the processes makes such data sharing available and easy among the related agencies. Expansion of E-Verify programs allows the Social Security Administration to participate in such enforcement process. Timing of release of recent indictment of evelen alleged H-1B visa fraud offenders is in a way not just a coincident.
The Chief of DOL Division of Foreign Labor Certification, Dr. William Carlson, released as recent as February 2, 2009 that in the first quarter (October, November, December 2008) of FY 2009, they completed about 4,500 PERM applications, but in one month of January 2009 alone, they completed about 3,500 applications. But don't get excited about this statistics. He cautioned that the processing times would slow down as they feed into adjudication process investigation of unemployment conditions in various labor markets, increasingly turning cases into so-called "supervised recruitment" process considering worsening labor markets and rising unemployment. When the agency posted the supervised recruitment Q&A on its website quite some time back, we speculated that it was intended to send out a signal that they would increase supervised recruitment cases ahead. It has turned out that it was not just speculation. Worse yet, the Chief stated that once a case is turned into a supervised recruitment track, there is no set processing time implying that it can take time and time. When the PERM system is already clogged bad, the information is indeed depressing. On top of all of these, the newly designated Republican Commerce Secretary who was known to be a H-1B program supporter all of sudden backed out from participation in the Obama administration. Year 2009 may be marked as a difficult year for foreign workers, particularly professional foreign workers.
Advantages of applying AOS when PD is not current
1. No H1 extension needed (especially these days believe me its a nightmare)
2. No visa Stamping needed (BIG BIG Night mare)
3. spouse can work
4. Dont have to worry about LCA blaw blaw blaw. especially after seeing the recent arrests
5. during layoff do not have to start GC process (in this case AC21 can be used)
6. WE CAN CHANGE TO EAD WHEN ANTI IMMIGRANTS CRY ABOUT H1 AND IN THIS ECONOMY DO NOT SURPRISE IF H1 IS COMPLETELY SCRAPPED.
8. Can do two jobs at a time (in this economy its difficult, but this is possible if you are using EAD)
9. You can work for TARP Companies (There are about 360 bail out banks... so you can work for any of these banks if using EAD)
10. BIG ADVANTAGE... IF YOU ARE APPLYING EARLY IT IS VERY MUCH POSSIBLE FOR DHS/CIS TO DO ALL THE BACK GROUND CHECK/NAME CHECK WELL IN ADVANCE. AS AND WHEN A VISA # IS AVAILABLE, IT CAN EASILY BE ASSIGNED TO THE APPLICANT. THIS WAY CIS CAN BE EFFECIENT AND WILL NOT WASTE VISA's
11. More can be added to the list
Again I do support others who say that AC21 job titles clause should be relaxed... All I am saying is one step at a time and more over there is a compaign already in progress.
ALSO numbers really matter. There are lots and lots of my friends who are using AC21 with out any problem.
Seniors Please advice
Thanks a lot,

I hate to say this and I hope I am wrong. All of us EB3 folks need to start speaking up or else our fate is sealed. I do not see any hopes of CIR passing. There is always going to be some political backlash due to the AMNESTY factor.
From what I have seen, most employers are now filing only in EB2 category. They know that filing in EB3 will see their applicants backlogged so severly that there is no hope in seeing their applications approved. So, even those with less than 5 years of experience create resumes that show 5 years to qualify for EB2. Imagine the flood of applicants in EB2 that will pour in when the dates move forward beyond July 2007. There will be a new backlog of EB2 numbers that we have to wait behind. When are we going to get our turn?
With nearly 10 years of experience and a master's degree, I am still languishing behind all these new comers who come here with fake experiences to qualify for EB2.
We EB3 folks need to speak up, and have the spill over given to the oldest filed applications IRRESPECTIVE of category. The spillover rules from what I know were defined at a later stage and not as per the original law. If we cannot get CIR passed nor a piecemeal regulation, at least let us get the spillover changed.
Or, let us en masse transfer to EB2 by porting, thereby making us all eligible for GC ahead of those that are coming in through the back door. I see them as no different from the undocumented immigrants. Breaking the ethical law at the expense of those of us who followed the law. Our positions did not require a Master's degree and I dont see why a programming position today still requires such. I also dont see why our experience today should not count towards qualifying for EB2.
I dont care what or how many reds the EB2 folks give, but the fact of the matter is that we EB3 must join hands.
From what I have seen, most employers are now filing only in EB2 category. They know that filing in EB3 will see their applicants backlogged so severly that there is no hope in seeing their applications approved. So, even those with less than 5 years of experience create resumes that show 5 years to qualify for EB2. Imagine the flood of applicants in EB2 that will pour in when the dates move forward beyond July 2007. There will be a new backlog of EB2 numbers that we have to wait behind. When are we going to get our turn?
With nearly 10 years of experience and a master's degree, I am still languishing behind all these new comers who come here with fake experiences to qualify for EB2.
We EB3 folks need to speak up, and have the spill over given to the oldest filed applications IRRESPECTIVE of category. The spillover rules from what I know were defined at a later stage and not as per the original law. If we cannot get CIR passed nor a piecemeal regulation, at least let us get the spillover changed.
Or, let us en masse transfer to EB2 by porting, thereby making us all eligible for GC ahead of those that are coming in through the back door. I see them as no different from the undocumented immigrants. Breaking the ethical law at the expense of those of us who followed the law. Our positions did not require a Master's degree and I dont see why a programming position today still requires such. I also dont see why our experience today should not count towards qualifying for EB2.
I dont care what or how many reds the EB2 folks give, but the fact of the matter is that we EB3 must join hands.
