Thanks for the reply!!
I have not been FPed recently. All 3 of us (me, my wife and daughter) were FPed in 2007. Then we filed for renewal in 2008 and got the EAD with no FP.
I was told by an InfoPass officer that FP are valid for 15 months..and after 15 months if PD is not current - they electronically re-validate the FPs.
Then I had called USCIS cust serv and they told me if my PD did not become current by May '10.. I should get FP notice..since it will be 30 months (15 + 15 months) since my last FP appt.
Anyone has info about my Que no. 2 ??

Hi!
My friend (in the US, on J1, no HRR) has been offered a position with a Non profit organization. They do not have experience with H1b process and want her to tell them about the process, and how she can work here legally (starting June).
I understand that she will not fall under the quota and does not have to wait till Oct 1st. Can someone please provide information (some links) on the following:
1) Can one do premium processing for H1b (first time for her), even though it is a non profit organization? Or is premium processing only for cases that fall under the cap?
2) I noticed that the fee is:
- 190 for application
- 500 for fraud security
- 750 or 1500 depending on whether there are 25 or more employees
- $1000 premium processsing
- $$$ for the lawyer to prepare and file the petition
Is it required by law that all the application fees be paid by the Employer, or can it also be paid by the beneficiary? I understand that the permium processing fee can be paid by the beneficiary, and perhaps the lawyer fees too.
3) Does the employer need to get any certifications/approvals from the Labor department before filing for H1B?
4) Can the entire process by done online?
I will really appreciate it someone could help with answers to these questions.
Thanks.
Response to your queries: -
1) Yes, one can do Premium Processing even if it is for a Not-for-Profit organization. I work in a university and I did the same.
2) USCIS does not care where the fees come from; all they care is about the right amount. Having said that, typically, the employer pays all of it - its the cost of employing a person; however, it can be split in any way between the employer and the employee with mutual understanding.
3) I believe they do!
4) Probably not!

Members from the mid western states - your participation is crucial in the advocacy efforts.
OH, IN, IL, TN, KY, MO, AR, KS, OK
It is very difficult to get appointments from legislative offices if no one from their constituency will be attending the meeting.
The DC Advocacy effort is for YOUR green card. Please take the time to talk to your employers now and get the required 2 days off to participate in the event.

I renewed my passport under tatkal this month. I mailed application overnight on Thursday and Monday got a call from Houston that Money Order attached is less 50 than actual. I mailed balance next day overnight, it reached them on Wednesday and got my passport after 4 business days.
rct_bulk, Could you tell how much you had to pay finally to get it under Tatkal....Is it $150 (40+20+90 ) ? Also, is it all in the same cashier check? please clarify

There will be a few lucky ones indeed. Those who get I-485 cleared within 3 - 4 months. But retrogression will kick in ( as applications get approved ) and the PD of 2003,2004 etc will become valuable.
It happened in 1999-2000 when they made all the dates current for 3 months and after that it went back by 3 years.But good thing this time is that you can change the jobs after 6 months.

to all BEC folks:
your anguish is so very legitimate. i, for one, feel truly bad for you.
you deserved relief and nothing has come so far.
there is no harm in venting your frustration on a thread, i don't think anyone can blame you for feeling screwed.
but peace friends, iv's fight is not over by a long shot. we stand together for relief for all- including you. i hope that BEC releases the approvals quickly, and you guys will certainly be current. in fact you will have GC long before many filing 485's now.
let's keep working, keep lobbying, keeping fighting the good fight and please don't despair. we are all with you.
i hope i speak on behalf of all fair minded iv members- and there are plenty.

I have my infopass for Aug 19 on my 91st day .So lets see.
Meanwhile other than Infopass appt , have you done any other atempts to either expedite or contact senatorr/congressmen??
Hoepfully all of us waiting forour EAD renewals for so long see some light tooo.
No I did not do anything else. I have opened an expedite request but that was denied. I think they are finally processing the applications. If I were to guess you should be getting the CPO email this week. But do not stop your trials

Then I guess IV reps should have one on one with this senator.
Also I recommend all of us calling and requesting/convincing this senator!

I opened the SR yesterday. I still have 40 or so days but the Rep said they take atleast 10 days to decide and if you want to open that should be fine.
I hope this helps.
I talked to SR and he said that unless I have crossed 90 days , he can not open SR for 765 application. How did you convince him to open the SR for you ?

Starsun I would request you to put in another clarification for the benefit of all so that IV Core's stand is well known and published. Predictions & calculations help people to know what the ground reality is and plan their lives. Now we don�t have people on IV whether EB2 or EB3 being sad after every VB because everyone knows when to expect what and predictions and calculations IMHO has gone a long way in correcting that situation.
I read several posts promoting advocacy which is very good however they take pride in trashing predictions and calculations for no apparent reason it seems to be in fashion / vogue. If advocacy has to be promoted it has to be done in a positive way there is no need to trash predictions and calculations at every available opportunity. Some of these immature comments are very disrespectful to the effort that is being put in my many of us on the predictions blog. If some people do not like what is being done on that blog they are really free not to visit but unnecessary comments should really stop or be moderated.

I never took infopass or call NSC center. It was 5 (add 1 year to for preparation but who cares apart from us) years of wait.
I got email "Card production ordered".
I never on this forum or posted but read it in last couple of days. I thought it will help others to get some idea from above info.
I pray others will get the same message who is current this month.

So what, people in other lands can learn these laws and still do some work of
lawyers/paralegals:
http://money.cnn.com/2004/10/14/news/economy/lawyer_outsourcing/
a lot of companies are already getting their patent filing work done by attorneys and paralegals abroad. Wont be too long before your I-485 filing is also prepared from outside the US :)
True. They are already preparing tax returns from India. I've heard of some tax preparers (competition to H&R Block) who have a VoIP phone and prepare tax returns by interviewing the tax filer. And they are lot more effective in getting a return. A small correction to AmericanDesi's observation that EB1 is for Ph.d . You don't need a formal Ph.d for EB-1. If you have demonstrable extraordinary ability which will benefit the US government and people, you come under that category. This usually requires 40+ peer reviewed publications in International Journals in your area. It isn't that easy buddy getting in under EB1 if you think that all you have to do is to be in school for 5 years and submit a thesis at the end of it. And it is getting tougher and tougher to get in under EB1 as they are scrutinized more.

02/01/2007 21/30 p.m.: Senate Passed Immigration Reform Bill Today
The Senate passed today Fair Minimum Wage Act, H.R. 2 today. The House passed this bill, H.R. 2 and the Senate debated the bill for the past several days. In the process, hundreds of amendments had been introduced on the Senate floor. The Senate floor then agreed to a lot of these amendments. One of these amendments which the Senate had agreed to and passed as Division B of the H.R. 2 is the Immigration Reform bill.
The immigration reform bill was introduced by Senator John Kerry and agreed to by the floor unanimously. The immigration reform bill that the Senate passed today covers a lot of the provisions which were part of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 which the Senate passed last year and failed in the House.
We will analyze the bill and report it step by step for the next several days. Please stay tuned to this website....

I am not really sure how this will help people in the queue ?!? The people waiting forever and in need of most help are ones from 2002, 03 etc. This provision gives away GC's to recent grads (some who may not have even applied for GC yet !) while so many from a decade ago desperately have to wait for infinity.
This Bill will help ALL people, not only the people who have an advanced degree from US!. With the addtion 55k, the people who have an advanced degree will get the green card immediately. Then, they will be out of the queue. Then all the existing anual visa quato will be allocated to the guys who don't have the advanced degree. This is a great bill for all EB forks. If this bill can be passed, the EB2 will be current . and EB3 will be current in two years. some people just didn't get it.
