dont claim uei, it is for gc and citizens only.
All,
I was laid off and since then I have been receiving my unemploment insurance from state of texas. I have my EAD and have been actively looking for a job. Now there is a family emergency and I have to go to india. Is it legal to claim my employment insurance from india? Will there be any problem if I claim my benefits from india?

Mark Krikorian is the MAN. He's the brain. Rest don't matter.
Most likely the CIS "immigrants" were ex-undocumenteds who got "Amnenstied" in 1986. What ancedote will they use? How they broke the Immigration laws back then?
I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out than some of them were former "Grand Dragons" at triple-K! Not revealing the past is an indicator of closet full of nasty skeletons.
HAHA - you are right that hes the chief but when I used to have cable I have seen the other two dudes regularly on CNN/Fox as 'experts' thats why I was curious.

FOIA Request for number of pending Employment based AOS/I-485 Applications

Dear FOIA officer,
Several Employment based categories have been retrogressed for 4 years now and the exact number of pending AOS applications sorted by priority dates in the employment-based category is unknown. Department of state has been establishing the cut off in priority dates based on educated guesses and approximations. DOS and none of the Employment based applicants know the number of applications pending per category, per country sorted by priority dates. DOS visa office expressed similar concern in Oct 08 bulletin.
“Little if any forward movement of the cut-off dates in most Employment categories is likely until the extent of the CIS backlog of old priority dates can be determined.”
This information would be helpful in determining the priority dates accurately and in determining when a visa number will be available for a given priority date in a certain category. I request you to provide me with the number of pending employment based AOS applications, (excluding approved/denied) in the following categories sorted on a priority date basis from 2001.
EB-2 China & India: Number of employment based AOS applications pending with USCIS sorted by priority date on a yearly basis from year 2001 till now
EB-3 China, India, Mexico & Philippines & Rest of the World: Number of employment based AOS applications pending with USCIS sorted by priority date on a yearly basis from year 2001 till now

Hi guys, I really need your advice on this :
1)Working for a large financial consulting firm A now, in-house lawyers dealt with the H-1B, renewing it now for Oct this year (sent in May, haven't heard back).
2)Want to join a 7-people Start Up company B as a financial analyst, which does not want to hire me as an "employee" but only as a "consultant" (i guess understandable for tax/risk reasons as the president of the firm is also hired as a consultant so ...).
3)How can I keep my H-1B with me? Can company B sponsor me as a consultant? or I need to have a third party consulting firm as a bridge? If so, any good agent or lawyers I can talk to?
Any advice highly appreciated.
Best,
CB

How sad! Yet there are tens of thousands of us who are committed! We need to keep growing our unity!

There is a largish I140 backlog today.
There you go. Fantastic factor. People rotting in I140 would indirectly helping to I-140 approved ones.Technically say for an example 40000 EB3-I are stuck in I-140.. they will simply be not considered in 485 queue so USCIS will not see them in "Demand Queue" and that also pushes USCIS to forward dates. Now I-140 stuck , though his date date is current can't do anything except getting frustration.

i would not recommend either murthy or R khanna i had a lousy exp with R Khanna and a friend of mine with murthy. I love Fragomen (my Co uses them) my last company i used Thomas Fan (based in MD) I like them both.
Fragomen is a huge firm - your experience will depend on the attorney/group dealing with your case (or company cases).
I am working in US from 99 - in three companies; and went thru partial GC process three times (once layedoff after the approval of labor; second left the company when they didnt agree to do PERM after labor is sent to PBEC; and third the current one - finally able to send 485 in July). Extended/Transferred H1b a few times. In all these cases the firm is same - Fragomen - but with different attorney's/groups. My experiences range from utter disappointment (a completely incompetent lawyer messing up relatively straight forward case and dont even correspond to explain anything) to much better (an attorney who does not mind to take calls and explain my concerns and actually sympathizes with my case and even remembers particulars). So it depends on the attorney you get.
If you are going with a lawyer on your own - you might be better off going with smaller firms. If your company has already gone with one of big law firms like Fragomen - you may not have much choice there - just deal diplomatically with the lawyer.

Is fragomen filing EAD & AP on time?
I have been following up with them to file my EAD renewal since 10 days and today I received a response that they are busy with audit and will do as soon as they can, I don't want my ead application to be delayed, its already more than a week I was eligible to file EAD renewal.

What is fair is that we treat everyone here (and everywhere else for that matter) with respect without regard to the country of birth or the EB category. Some are more educated than others, some are more skilled than others, and some are more lucky than others when it comes to green card but what is common to everyone of us is that we are in this mess together. To be honest I don't think we are here to figure out what's best for United States, we are here to get our green card, live the American dream, and make the best out of it.
Therefore, let's not make this GC journey anymore difficult than it already is by fighting amongst ourselves about who is more skilled and who is more deserving. Besides, constant bickering among the IV members will only further divide and alienate more members and won't help us in any way so I suggest that we avoid doing things that has the potential of dividing or alienating members.
Apart from the bad language used by some people .... I dont believe that there is any infighting .... disagreements with point of view is not infighting ... It just a primer for the points and discussions that will definitely come up when lawmakers will argue their points of view. And from that perspective it is enriching this portal forum and not denigrating it.
I welcome the discussion.

that's ok, you are eb2. so no worries, totally understand. no one is asking you to donate, did u get a personal email or phone call from me asking you to donate? You came to this thread, read my post, felt guilty conscious, and thought someone is asking you to donate, and came up with an absurd reason not to contribute. who asked you to contribute in the first place?
History? your I-485 was applied on 2nd July, 2007. Do u know the history of why u'r AOS was not thrown out the window because CIS reversed the visa bulletin? Who cares, as long as you are in the queue and others are paying for your free lunch.
.
I am not saying that you sent me personal request to donate, go through this website and you will see what I am talking abt.
that sounds like july second fiasco reversal from USCIS was affected by IV... I dont believe so.
I would not try to get the ocean level up by throwing pennies into it.

Gautamagg (Gautam Aggrwal) is Columban.
Gautam: If you have difference with Immigration Voice's position in opposing the merits based system that gives 21 points being illegal and 20 points for having MBA or MD, then you are entitled to have that opinion, but dont peddle your agenda on this site and find another website or forum to advocate in favor of merits based points system.
Merits based point system awards supplemental points for illegals. Being illegal is not an accomplishment. Having an MBA or MD is. The two cannot be awarded merits on the same scale.
Merits based point system works well in countries that dont have annual caps. Like Canada. Their objective in Canada is to fill the country with younger working population in order to balance to demograph that is headed to an aging population. USA is not like that and having points system in conjunction with numerical caps will cause greencard to go to paper-tiger resumes that have lots of points but not employable. There are millions of Ph.Ds in Science in India and China and they would not be employable here but would get GCs. Just like Canada, we would have greencard holders with Ph.Ds and MBBS driving cabs. Employability has nothing to do with papers that prove how many years you spend on colleges accumalating degrees.
A bachelor's degree from Harvard and a Bachelor's degree from Rutgers would get same points : 16 points. Is that really a measure of merits?
But again, if you feel that point system is great, issue press release on your own and peddle your agenda on your own but dont use this site to peddle that agenda. You are free to discuss with other members but dont issue press release and dont speak to the media on behalf of IV. Speak to the media as an individual.
The position of immigration voice on points system is very clear and it will stay that way.
I agree with you proposed pointbased system may not be good for us, but do you really think we have resources to change legislation,
what are we fighting for?, I think immigrationvoice is for people who are already here legally and waiting for green card, don't you think we need focus on our own agenda and stop chasing piggy back ride on CIR.
if we can influence to streamline current processes for faster approval of GCs, itz good enough for us.
I really don't think any lawmakers are going to take our advice when they draft these BS bills

Is there a way I can ask my new employer if they can file new I140 under EB2 and change my category to EB2?
Does someone has answer for this?
If your job profile demands seniority (which it must be - going by your EB3-2003 PD), you are better off refiling under EB2, instead of *just* (read just) spending couple of thousands on IV campaigns and beating up on people who are not contributing as much you have done to IV. That is not to say we stop contributing for the general cause. Don't misunderstand and start flaming at me, won't do any good.
I have not done this myself with the same employer, I changed my employer for a senior job position and I had also acquired a masters degree in comp engg from a reputed university before I became eligibile for EB2. But as a fellow IVian, who understands the EB3-I issue, I would surely advocate this not only to you but to all other EB3's with older PDs.
Does someone has answer for this?
If your job profile demands seniority (which it must be - going by your EB3-2003 PD), you are better off refiling under EB2, instead of *just* (read just) spending couple of thousands on IV campaigns and beating up on people who are not contributing as much you have done to IV. That is not to say we stop contributing for the general cause. Don't misunderstand and start flaming at me, won't do any good.

Hi,
I came in Jan 07 on F1. I got my H1-B in Apr 07, but is effective Oct 1, 07. My school, NJIT, starts on Sept 1, 07. If I have to maintain a full-time student status from Sept 1 to Sept 30 then I have to pay $5,000. If I have to maintain a full-time student status from Sept 1 to Sept 17 then I have to pay $1,200.
Please let me know
1> Will it be problem if I don't take any course in Sept i.e. I am not a full time student during Sept.?
2> If it is problem then will it be problem if I drop courses on Sept. 17? What will be my status for 13 days from Sept 18 to Sept 30?
3> Is there any college in NJ/NY area which starts in Oct so that I can transfer to that college and maintain my full time status till Sept 30?
4> Any other suggestions about what I can do?
My employer has suggested not to go to India and go through H1-B stamping.
Thanks.
