There is another drawback of H1 that i have had for the past so many years, there is no change in the 'position' because it means that the job description will change, so all these years most people like me remain 'sr software engineers' no matter what we do, because lawyers say that you should not change the job description, as it will affect the process. its all a big scam i say... :confused:

The priority dates moved because of IV's efforts.
The phone calls we made and the webfaxes and email we sent to senetors, really got attention to the issue we were facing.
Congratulation and a big thank you to everyone who contributed to IV.
And thanks to IV core team for great leadership.
Whatever may happen in future, now we know that if we unite and put in efforts we can get even seemingly imposiible things done !
Great job everyone.

I used David Cohen at Canada Immigration - Information on Immigration to Canada (http://www.canadavisa.com/)
They did a good job. My only complaint with they kept changing the paralegal that was handling my case like 3 times during the whole process. Otherwise no problmems.
First thanks to those who put there first hand experience in this thread, it made me think again. And now I am deciding to cross the border and go north, after 9+ years in US on H1b.
Could someone please refer a Do-it-yourself kit that they have used and/or immigration consultant?
I contacted one consultant, they email almost every week and when I called/emailed them saying I am ready to pursue there has been no response from other side yet.
It will be great help for me if you could refer a kit or a consultant.
Looking forward to join H1->Canada community :D
Thanks

I think Both Sen.Obama and Sen.McCain are interested in legal Immigration. Mitt Romney was a big Advocate of legal Immigration. But of course, these are not the priority Items for both the candidates and also have to reassure the citizens that they will create new Jobs. Both of their plans will not affect Outsourcing
Sen. Obama Proposes to end the tax breaks for companies who outsource their work to other countries. This will not have any Significant effect on Outsourcing, as companies save much more by outsourcing , than tax breaks.
Sen. McCain already said that the lost jobs are lost, he will invest in re-training the workforce and find new areas of employment which cannot be outsourced.
I dont expect this Question to be heard in the forthcoming debates , as this Question was asked since the interview was conducted in Columbia Univ( University who supports EB Immigration)
Seriously...both r of no use as far as legal immigration is concerned

SmSm,
Good to know you are pursuing a part time MBA. For people stuck inthe GC dilemma, further education is really a good oiption.
For folks around Philadelphia, if you are looking for a good part time programs, Wharton Business school is offering evening programs (Certificate) for Working Professionals. For me it was really a good experience doing the program.

I see that there is a lack of understanding about what "special" labor cert means.In the context of univ profs it means that the university is allowed to justify hiring an alien based on the fact that he was the BEST qualified candidate for the postion - that is, the univ is allowed to reject other minimally qualified applicants. This is currently not the case for other junta in either EB-2 or EB-3 .. if ANY minimally qualified american citizen / PR is found, the labor cert is denied.
If this is extended to EB2 / people with advanced STEM degrees as Frist Bill proposes, the labor cert will become quicker and painless for these folks (not to mention the immigration attorneys and the employers).

Will advanced degree holder need labor certification?
I think they will. Here is how the new labor certification clause will read:
(5) Labor certification and qualifications for certain immigrants.-
(A) Labor certification.-
(i) In general.-Any alien who seeks to enter the United States for the purpose of performing skilled or unskilled labor is inadmissible, unless the Secretary of Labor has determined and certified to the Secretary of State and the Attorney General that-
(I) there are not sufficient workers who are able, willing, qualified (or equally qualified in the case of an alien described in clause (ii)) and available at the time of application for a visa and admission to the United States and at the place where the alien is to perform such skilled or unskilled labor,
(ii) Certain aliens subject to special rule.-For purposes of clause (i)(I), an alien described in this clause is an alien who-
(I) is a member of the teaching profession
(II) has exceptional ability in the sciences or the arts; or
(III) has an advanced degree in the sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics from an accredited university in the United States and is employed in a field related to such degree.
Source: Official Senator Frist's Bill http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?c109:1:./temp/~c109BRbYkn:e244507:
INA Act 212 http://uscis.gov/lpBin/lpext.dll/inserts/slb/slb-1/slb-20/slb-2112?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm
So labor certification is required for advanced degree holder in STEM with 3 years of US experience prior to applying will be treated as special a case.
Also, this clause says that the degree has to be from a US university. I think Attorney Mathew Oh is wrong in saying that graduate degree holders in STEM from foreign universities can apply too.

Read the visa bulletin fine print carefully.
C = Can not file
U = Take a U turn and go back home
So guys no one can file 485.

Given that 23800 letters is appearing tough to meet can we tweak the approach such that a survey is created on IV and people can respond to it (since more people read IV than actually respond to requests) and we can use those numbers to prove the number of people behind the idea.
Is that a possibility?

Legal,
Sorry, you probably did not put it that way, but it comes out as, we suffered yesterday, so you guys should suffer today. If that is the case, then solving the immigration issue should be the last on our minds, since we have suffered this long, maybe all the future applicants should suffer just as much.
But I am sure you did not mean it that way.
No. I didn't.
For whatever its worth Compete America has sent another letter supporting the Llofgren bills yesterday. To my knowledge this is the first time they are openly supporting an EM immig relief without asking to increase H1 B numbers.

Q15: For you = H1B For Wife = AOS Pending
#2 Assuming you entered on H1 and wife on H4 (no Student/visitior etc)
You =H1B Wife =H4
GCCovet
Yes, we entered on H1 and H4.
But still I am going to write A# for Q.10 in EAD form for me. Is it fine? Or I have to use I-94#?
Thanks GCCovet!

The problem with Per Country limits makes no sense when the same theory is applied to visa's granted because of Skill. Employability has nothing to do with ethnicity (in fact, there are laws that prevent this type of discrimination by employers). It just so happens that currently India and China, due to their educational focus has a lot of people with skills that American industry wants. Who knows, in 10 years this could change and those skills could come from Mauritius and Lichtenstein and then they would be backlogged instead.
Franklin; I agree that per country quotas are discriminatory.
What I am unsure about, is whether it is morally justifiable, and this hinges on whether it actually benefits the United States or not (many forms of discrimination against non-citizens are perfectly legal under the US constitution).
I agree with Hermione, that given the current minuscule quotas the issue is moot (in fact, it was my intention to suggest exactly this, by pointing out that the last thing anyone needs to worry about is per-country quotas when the overall immigration levels are so tiny, and the per-country cap is so small).
I am still on the fence, though, about the moral acceptability of per country quotas in the presence of rationale visa allocations (somewhere around 3 million per year by my estimate). I think at those levels (and with perhaps completely different percentages for the per-country quota) there may indeed be a moral justification (I simply don't know enough about cultural/social dynamics).
I think everyone would agree that the US is certainly entitled to determine how it develops culturally (as is any country).
In its present form of course, the immigration system is damaging the United States (e.g. RBD), so it is impossible for it to be morally acceptable from the US perspective (you can't balance the negative moral implications of discrimination against non-citizens, with the benefits to the citizens of the nation, when there are no benefits to the citizens of the nation).
Significantly, it is most likely true that the present immigration policy is morally acceptable from (say) India's perspective, since it is resulting in improved retention of brain power for India...

It's not possible to achieve this without changing the INA.
It's a legal requirement that an immigrant visa is immediately available to an applicant at the time AOS application is filed.
