If you are working for fortune 500 do not assume that you are safe if you are on H1. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THERE IS AN AMENDMENT WHICH WILL CHANGE THE FACE OF H1?
NOW NO H1'S FOR TARP COMPANIES WHAT NEXT? UNIVERSITITES, FEDERAL AND STATE AGENCIES?
People who have PD's after May 2007 should come forward... OFCOURSE OTHERS SHOULD HELP US TOO

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,
Kiran :)

Hi Nat,
Fragomen took about 6 months in getting "prevailing wage info" for my case in 2001. My manager ( Canadian who had gone through US GC process himself) finally talked to them and asked them to file without waiting for DOL's reply on prevailing wage. (That was a risk but we agreed to take it at that point)
That six months delay costed me 6 years in GC processing ! But thanks to my manager , otherwise I dont know how many more years I would have waited.(One of my co-worker still awaits his labor cert !)
The big law firm goes by predefined steps , which are probably the safest way for most cases but may not be the fastest way. You need somebody who has been through this process and can understand and asks good questions to lawyers and can help lawyers to think for your perticular case. Check if you have somebody in your org to do that.
All the best.
My company started the PERM process for me about 2.5 months ago. I contacted Fragomen about 1.5 months after approvals within the company and they said they are working on establishing min requirements for the position. I then contacted them 3 weeks after that day and they said they have established the requirement and will request the DOL for prevailing wage info (this was 2 weeks ago). After which they are going to start the recruitment process. So I'm not sure if the time line is okay or should I be chasing them more frequently? Please advise.
Regards
Nat

Earlier today I got an email from USCIS that said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Card production ordered.
On June 29, 2008, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."
Then by the evening my I-485 said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Since Senate already passed the CIR, that included the SKIL, Is it required to vote again in senate if the house somehow passes the SKIL bill?
Too early but just curious.
Thanks.
The SKIL bill was introduced in the Senate in May by Senator John
Cornyn (R-
TX) and was subsequently incorporated into the Comprehensive
Immigration Act
of 2006. We discussed its effects on the H-1B and EB categories in the
June
2006 issue of SHUSTERMAN'S IMMIGRATION UPDATE. See
http://shusterman.com/toc-siu.html
Although the legalization and guest worker provisions of the Senate
bill
have been written off by many pundits, we believe that there is an
excellent
chance that some version of the SKIL bill will be enacted into law
before the
end of 2006.

Dear IV members,
We are seeing now the fruits of our efforts.
Update: Bipartisan Bill - HR 5882 introduced to Recapture EB visa numbers (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18773)
Update: HR 5921 Introduced to eliminate per country limits (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18856)
Despite a difficult year for immigration, there is movement of Bills for us.
The admin fixes campaign has also been successful. It is now a matter of time when administration chooses to make an announcement. We have been following up with them on regular intervals. The phase 2 of our campaign has also been going for past several weeks. Several state chapter members have traveled to DC and lobbied. Core has also traveled to DC to push for our provisions.
The latest good news is the bill on Recapture. IV has been on the front lines to announce all these developments and our lobbyists have been lobbying hard for us. All this effort costs money and thus we are starting a funding drive after a gap of 4 months so that we can continue this momentum. The more we can raise, the better we can lobby. We have a target to reach at least 50K in this funding drive so that IV can continue to be a voice of immigrants and take up their issues on the hill.
Please contribute generously. We encourage people signing up for recurring contributions but if you want to contribute one time, you can do so too. If you want to contribute an amount not listed on the contributions page (http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=44), you can contribute by paypal using the email donations at immigrationvoice dot org
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=44
Once you have contributed, please post on the thread and we can know how much closer we are from our target. IV chapter leaders and Team IV members will run this thread and count the contributions.

>>>>>It will also affect many starry eyed new H1-Bs chasing their ever elusive GC dream. Haven�t we all had enough<<<<<
Not really. Some/ many will have it easy especially if they were not foolish enough to be born in India.:mad:
Pls read the following advice from Siskind to some new potential H1B applicants.
http://www.ilw.com/articles/2006,0705-siskind.shtm
An option available to many this year will be filing for permanent residency. There are many work-related green card applications that can be filed without a labor certification. And the new PERM labor certification program means that employment authorization can be obtained much earlier. Now that concurrent filing of I-140 and adjustment of status applications area available, it may be possible to secure an employment authorization document in a matter of a couple of months after the green card process is started.

Thank you H4 for all your efforts. I had +1 today. Got busy doing the easy work of putting those letters into envelopes and taking copies. I could do this all day, if only TX members would mail me those letters!!
Cheers Needhelp! Yes the production part is quite theraputic :)
I feel like this week has been a struggle for people. Has everyone who wants to contribute, sent their letters? We cannot expect anything to happen on its own folks. If you believe in this cause, send your letters and tell us here so you can give us all a little bit of hope to take away for the weekend. Thanks.

My company filed my green card and have applied for 485 for me and my wife on July 19 with July visa bulletin reinstated. We have also applied for AP and EAD for my wife. We both are on H1 at this time. My wife' job is going to end by month end.
Does she need to file change of status to H4 or it is fine to stay in US with AOS pending status.
My 140 is still pending

I still don't understand what you are saying.
Now, the bad part ... the achilles heel of every high-skills amendment is the tethered H1B quota tricks. They are exempting everyone who has US masters or a non-US master in STEM from H1 quota, effectively making H1 quota = A LOT MORE.
Are you saying the future greencard applicants will have to compete with lot more new H1b s?? Wouldn't this bill help alleviate the retrogression problem and those with approved LC, I-140 etc??

Those who do talk and blame in the anonymity of the web andnever do anything and keep hiding behind their closets expecting sky to fall are the one who "don't wear clothes"
Folks - in all seriousness - why don't people come out of anonymity? Are you shy? Are you scared? I know, you don't come out because you don't wear any clothes.
Things are bad for us - let us not blame IV. Utilize this time to mobilize the community. Lets build IV stronger. Lets build state chapters, lets all unite and do something about it.
IV members have done a lot of things and keep doing things - the reason we see no result or minimal result is because the community has never never come forward to help. It has been a very few folks that actually did something.
How long ca you think a few people can do everything for us? Should we all not take one step forward in helping ourselves?
We don't. We want to sit behind the anonymity of the web and blame a scapegoat. Those who want to help are scapegoats. Blame IV - for everything.
The reality is - IV needs a lot lot lot funds,IV needs manpower, IV needs your skills, IV needs your unity, IV does not need your criticism because if you criticize IV it won't help you.
So you and I together - united we stand - we build IV - if we do not want to take that extra step - we all suffer.
Some of us spent a lot of money - we did rallies and lobby days - shelled a lot of money frm our pockets - what else can you expect us to do? why did you not do rally or why don't you participate lobbying. why don't you talk to media, why don't you collectively network for the cause?
Admin fixes - some members were begging in train stations to get signatures on the admin fix letter. People waited outside places of worship, parties, schools, and other places, they were ready to s[pend money and time on these things, but why did 30K + members not want to even sign the admin fix letter.
Members are running marathons for IVs funds - some members are travelling to various cities to run for fund raising
One extremely dedicated member had a fast food stall during a festival and donated all the money to IV.
A lot of us have suffered with getting wrongful denials when we used AC21 - we started a campaign - but it just never picked up - some hundred letters went out to USCIS - and were ignored and we still see the same thing happening.
How much can the same people keep doing things again and again. We do need more help. IV is nothing but you and me and all of us.
For folks who are not happy with the visa bulletin. here is the reason why dates are not moving forward. USCIS are getting approvable cases with older priority dates and as they keep exhausting visas dates will not move forward. How the hell can USCIS get cases prior to 2001 ? The sad reality is - there are many cases - they could be "future employment, consular processing, labor subsitution, straight cases, cases lying withiout being adjudicated for various reasons ...... " as long as USCIS can get old cases to approve, dates will not move forward. If USCIS is sitting idle with no old cases, then DOS will move the date forward.
How can we resolve the above? Infighting won't help. We must unite and get our issues resolved. We must work towards admin fixes, we must work towards recapture, we must work towards other positive things that helps us.
Are we ready for helpingh ourselves? Lets stop infighting. Lets all join hands and help ourselves. Can we?
We need some new generation members who can help us. Let all members pledge - we are all united - we will come out of our shelles - we will not do infighting - we will not blame others for issues tht we all face
Remember what Mahatma Gandhi said " Lets not blame others for weaknesses we all possess"
Folks - in all seriousness - why don't people come out of anonymity? Are you shy? Are you scared? I know, you don't come out because you don't wear any clothes.
Things are bad for us - let us not blame IV. Utilize this time to mobilize the community. Lets build IV stronger. Lets build state chapters, lets all unite and do something about it.
IV members have done a lot of things and keep doing things - the reason we see no result or minimal result is because the community has never never come forward to help. It has been a very few folks that actually did something.
How long ca you think a few people can do everything for us? Should we all not take one step forward in helping ourselves?
We don't. We want to sit behind the anonymity of the web and blame a scapegoat. Those who want to help are scapegoats. Blame IV - for everything.
The reality is - IV needs a lot lot lot funds,IV needs manpower, IV needs your skills, IV needs your unity, IV does not need your criticism because if you criticize IV it won't help you.
So you and I together - united we stand - we build IV - if we do not want to take that extra step - we all suffer.
Some of us spent a lot of money - we did rallies and lobby days - shelled a lot of money frm our pockets - what else can you expect us to do? why did you not do rally or why don't you participate lobbying. why don't you talk to media, why don't you collectively network for the cause?
Admin fixes - some members were begging in train stations to get signatures on the admin fix letter. People waited outside places of worship, parties, schools, and other places, they were ready to s[pend money and time on these things, but why did 30K + members not want to even sign the admin fix letter.

If anybody has experience here please answer the bellow Qs:
01. If I-140 is revoked by the previous employer after invoking AC12, does the status of I-140 changes? Any LUDs?
02. How long does it take to revoke an I-140 after the employer sends the withdrawal request?

If you are from India or from a country which fought for its freedom, you would not ask this question.
When M.K.Gandhi held his first rally against the British rulers(nothing personal here Franklin and Mark :) ), it did not result in immediate freedom, but was it worthless ?
It's not just India that won freedom either, don't forget USA!
Although I do admire Gandhi's approach more.
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED.
If Britain still ruled India, I'd probably be marching with you in India!
What would rather you tell your children, "I sat at home and read the forums", or "I marched in the streets".

they were not formed at the last moment in most cases
what makes you think people participate in those? from personal experience
in the MN chapter, it's hard to even get replies to e mails, forget meetings etc. of late though i'm glad to say the MN chapter has really beugun to pick up again.
ask the tri state guys how much effort they put locally- meetings- fliers- phone calls, all by a handful of volunteers. so all this is good in theory and yes it takes time. but the apathy (even hostility) that was encountered was frightening. ask chanduv23 someday what the tri state guys went through...
We had similar experiences in New England too!
Not to mention cases where people that promised to come didn't show up. In two cases, we had people who didn't even answer their phone calls or reply to voicemails while we were waiting to pick them up from the pickup points! That is just unforgivable! One of these "people" were supposed to be part of our Lobby team!

stucklabor,
I hope you are right and I am wrong. So, "special handling"
cases do not go through labor certification at all. Do professors have to go through "special handling" labor certification?
If you are right then it means that an advanced degree holder in STEM from a US school with 3 years of prior US experience will be able to apply for I-140 and I-485 right away.
Thanks for clarifying.
PD, please read my post above which you quoted more carefully. "Special handling" cases do go through labor cert, only they get faster better treatment. I am not sure of the rule of University Profs, refer to the post chain that I and Appu did earlier on this thread. I think Univ Profs don't do recruitment twice as is the case for the normal junta. They can use the recruitment results from when they first interviewed. But if they are not going the outstanding researcher route, they do have to undergo labor cert.
