Exactly ,
No body is forcing any one to do any unethical things that applies for consultants as well as consulting companies. If any one does anything illegal they will meet the fate of Enron, Anderson or CA.
No one is forcing any one to work for a desi consulting company, If anyone does not like them they always have the option of choosing a new employer or leaving the country.
No company is going to pay for a consultant if consultant does not deliver what client wants.
Hope economy will be strong no one has to see tbe bad days of 2001 and 2002 which I have seen personally .
Just recently two american mortgage lendors have laid off people in Southern California without any consideration for immigration status. These companies have people of all kinds which include "US educated" and direct H1s and their green card applicaitons in various stages. All these people have to start all over again. I feel sorry for these guys.
All the guys thinking about H1b "reform" think twice before what you wish for.
It may come down to a point they we may not want to pursue this struggle,
iam not discourgaging anybody, but any EB reform will face stiff opposition, they will attach lot's of riders to it. At the end people will wonder is the EB reform is even worth with so many strrings attached to it.
thanks

Dear All,
Can some body please spend some time to help us ?
Me and my wife came to USA in July 2005 on L1 and L2 Visa�s .We both got our SSN Numbers. Later in Oct 2006 I changed to H1 (Company Wipro), so my wife got changed to H4. We both went to India in Feb 2007 and got h1 and h4 Visa stampings. Our Visa�s are valid till 2009 May .
Recently I moved to IBM and IBM transferred my H1 to their company.
My Wife is traveling to India in March 2008 and returning back to USA in July 2008
1) Does she need to go for stamping because I changed to different company even though the VISA is valid till 2009 may?
2) We are planning to apply H1 for my wife, but our consultant told me since she will be there in India in April she needs to apply it from India. But she will be returning to USA in July 2008, so she can not go for H1 stamping because she gets her papers in October. Once she returns she will be having only H4 I94 and from October onwards h1 papers. Is there any way that she can transfer her h4 i94 to H1 i94 after she gets her h1 papers. Moreover I think when you are applying from India even you need to mention where you are going for VISA stamping. In her case can she mention Canada? Can she work after she gets her H1 papers without going for stamping?
Thanks a lot for all your help

By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - U.S. Catholic bishops on Wednesday urged the U.S. Congress to resolve differences on immigration reform and seize a "historic moment" to give all of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
Meeting in Los Angeles for their bi-annual conference, the bishops said an enforcement-only approach to immigration had failed and that stronger border fences and a piecemeal approach would do nothing to deter those seeking to find work in the United States.
"Over the past 12 years, our government has spent $25 billion on enforcement of our border. During the same period, the number of undocumented in the nation has nearly doubled," said Bishop Gerald Barnes of San Bernardino, who heads the U.S. Catholic Bishops committee on immigration.
"We urge congressional leaders and the President to seize this historic moment and enact a just and humane immigration measure," Barnes told a news conference.
"Either fix it, or five years from now there will be 20 million illegal immigrants here," said Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony, whose vow to disobey any laws that would criminalize illegal immigrants and those who help them has made him a leading voice in the national debate.
Lawmakers are struggling to reconcile a bill in the House of Representatives that focuses strictly on border enforcement with a Senate bill that would also create a temporary work program denounced by many conservatives as equivalent to an amnesty for illegal immigrants.
The bishops said all undocumented workers currently in the United States should be given a "viable and workable earned path to citizenship," not just those who have been here longest.
They also backed a temporary worker program and reforms that would reduce family immigration backlogs. Continued...
And now the church is taking this up?? I guess the illegals are not only potential vote-bank, but conversion candidates too.

Looking at the Approval trend, it looks like TSC and NSC are not following the FIFO (Based on PD, ND etc) when approval. More than half of the approvals are after my PD.
Any one has any idea of approximately many EB2-I cases were approved last year in Sept 2008. Because of the out of turn approvals random date approvals I may be loosing chance once again this time.
I had RFE's for my wife's and my I485 way back in March 09 and after we replied to the RFE's and there multiple LUD's and Soft LUD's till 04/14/2009. On 04/04/2009 last Soft LUD was on my Wife's , Daughter (she never got any RFE) and my case and since then no updates. I was assuming that my case is PreAdjudicated and had high hopes.
Once again seeing an inefficient and irresponsible USCIS being unfair...
--------------------------
PD : 07/08/2004
ND : 08/09/2007
I485 Receipt date : 07/02/2007
Current status : H1B ( working for employer who sponsored GC)
I140 approved : 11/2006

Snathan, Thanks for all your help. Its been 9 months that my application is in PERM process and nothing happened except an AUDIT. I want to get out of this mess. I want to do anything that i can do to get out of this mess soon.
Samantha,
Attorney can contact the DOL after 4 months of the audit reply. My reply was on March 11th. My attorney asked me to wait 2 more months for her to contact DOL.
If it is 4 months after the audit reply, ask your attorney to contact the DOL.

I have e-filed on May 22
FP done on 06/17
LUD on 07/22
No updates later .
I have an infopass appt on Aug 19 as I pass my 90 days .Can you please tell us your Infopass experince ? Hopefully this would help me and others in similar situation.
Hey indian111, see my previous posts for the infopass exp. Just to give you a gist, it was a useless appointment. They did not offer me any kind of help. After reading through different forums, I have noticed that there were quite a few CPO emails yesterday for people filed within the same time frame. So I think the infopass appointment did not in any way impact the decision. This is just my assumption.
But I would definitely have the infopass done and then go to the local congressman or senator office to get things resolved.
That was my original plan too. I never expected miracles to happen with the infopass appointment. That would have just given me an additional proof on my part to show that I was diligent in getting the issue resolved
Let me know if you need more details and I will be happy to provide them.

Hi Pps123,
Did you change the job? They sent the REF letter to you or your attorney? I raised SR on May 6th, and received an email on May13th saying that a RFE letter was sent out. Anxious to know what the RFE is.
Yeah, I changed my job in 2009 March, filed AC 21 on 2010 Oct.
Don't worry , everything will be fine

Pappu, thanks for the initiative. I will contribute.
I also have another suggestion. Why don't we also do a targeted campaign at partnering with corporate HRs to push for EB relief. Many corporate HRs are aware of the EB2 and EB3 retro pains. These corps rely on EB2 and EB3 folks for innovation and technology. Corporations have a lot of power in pushing legislation. I am just suggesting to try other channels as well. Corporates being just one.
Here is a list of some major corporations in the Midwest to start with. Others can add to the list from midwest and other geographies.

All,
I have created a letter template (linked below), I have a couple questions that I have put in the comments so you guys can provide some input.
I am going to create another template that you can use to fill in your name and other related information (naidu2543 brought up a good point and I am somewhat skeptical on adding the case number. Admins, any input?). I think we should all have hand-written signature (not typed) in that letter.
I am going to provide a fax number and email address, where each one of you can send the signed sheet.
I think there should be a benchmark for the signature, before we can send it out. From the polls, I see 69 people said that they would support the initiative, I think its reasonable to expect at least 65 people will send their signatures, before we can send the letter out.
