My wife is on H4. She has applied for SSN for stimulus package and got denial letter. How will be useful this letter to get SSN for her. Please advice.
Thanks for your great help.
Keep the letter and any other documentation you have. You may need them if this goes to court. I am still working with the lawyers on this.

More education generally does mean more skill. It does not always mean more pay, but this country has decided to use education and work experience as the criterion for EB category allocation.
You have put this in the best possible way. My allegiance to EB2 as I got my MS degree from US in Tech Major.

Hi Guys,
I was looking at the AP renewal instructions. It says:
1. If you are in the United States, you must attach:
a. A copy of any document issued to you by USCIS showing your present status in the United States; and
b. An explanation or other evidence showing the circumstances that warrant issuance of an advance parole document; or
c. If you are an applicant for adjustment of status, a copy of a USCIS receipt as evidence that you filed the adjustment application;
d. If you are traveling to Canada to apply for an immigrant visa, a copy of the U.S. consular appointment letter.
So what I gather from this is that they need:
a) Our H1B status papers and the previous copies of the advanced parole documents.
b) A letter stating why we need the advanced parole.
c) The I-485 receipt copies.
Now it DOES NOT say anything about the photographs if you are filing within the US.
Can someone who has applied for the Advanced Parole (NOT the EAD), please share their experience and what documents are needed. The EAD filing seems to be elaborately covered.
Thanks.

Totally agree with you. I know guys who worked in production support and QA applied in EB2. At the same time people like me in positions such as Architect went with the ill-fated EB3. It is sad, but is the truth.
Dear Architect:
Get your "Bu__" moving and try getting another job which will qualify you for an Eb2. Stop whining like a Public sector employee and get out of your comfort zone. Go achieve something.

Well Said ! I guess lot of us are looking for the slightest possiblity of the applicaiton going through instead of getting rejected..
Anyways, Any guesses on what the PD will be in Oct VB? My guess is they'll not progress much and will try to stick to the June Bulletine timeframe..
Oh trust me WE KNOW THAT. We're just testing the waters now with the USCIS agents :p

I had the same question so I asked my attorney and he told me that you can "transfer" your H1B after Oct 1 and benefit from AC21, meaning that as soon as company B files an H1B petition for you and you have proof of this filing, you can start working for them.
However, I understand that you want to "transfer" before Oct 1, in which case company B has to file a new H1B petition either regular or with premium processing. This new H1B is not counted against the cap because you have already been counted against the gap in the 6 previous years.
In short, you should be able to work for company B starting Oct 1 if they file for a new H1B now and it is approved by Oct 1.
I recommend you ask an attorney for your specific case.
Hi,
I just got my H1B approved through company A with start date of 1st Oct 07.
Can a transfer the H1B to another company without working for company A?:confused:
I am in the US on H4 visa. I read that if you are in the US can transfer within 60 days of start date, and if you are outside US then within 30 days of start date. Is this true? Thank you all for your replies. It would be a big help!!

That is absolutely right. I would also extend the argument from the perspective of the sponsoring employer.
The excessively longer wait would make the employer biased against hiring people from retrogressed countries with similar skills/experience.
Especially since this is an employment based category, I believe your line of argument should work!
It's a valid point from ur prospective, but let me give u the example if the shoe was on the other foot..
I'm sure this is a simplistic generalization, but urs is too
* In 2001, 20 people graduate in retrogressed country and equally qualified 20 graduate in non retrogressed.. both aspire to land a US opportunity
* In a few weeks, all the 20 in the retrogressed country find opportunities among dozens of giant offshoring firms that quickly send them on H1 or L1 projects, within months or may be a year they are settled in the US and at most in 2003 their greencard process is up and running
* The 20 equally qualified non-retrogressed however linger in their homeland for years and duke it out till the brightest 3 manage to find a rare opportunity that only comes every several years.. those 3 finally come to the US in 2005 and may be start their gc in 2006
* Turns out (or actually it was known all along to people before they chose to came) that the US only gives 5 greencards per year and because they know qualified people exist in all countries and they don't want few countries to swallow the whole quota alone, they give 2/5 to non retrogressed and 3/5 to retrogressed.. only then do some people remember to cry not fair, well it wasn't fair to start with!
I agree a universal 7% limit for any coutry regardless of its population and number of college graduates is stupid.. the percentages need to be adjusted. But to tell me that the 3 unretrogressed have to stand at the end of the line behind the equally qualified 20 retrogressed who came here faster (and chose to come here knowing their homeland is retrogressed) that is really fair.. yeah right!

I also got the same letter from USCIS today.
Where is the core who advised us to fax letter to USCIS. Please let us know what the action plan is ?
I am ready for $25.
I think we need to contact Ombudsman with this letter. This is ridiculuous.

None has called a ban for anyone being differ but it's just the way you express your opinions by using the words like "herd mentality", "dimwitted" etc. Not that you have accepted that you are here for news only, I don't think we need people like you.
IV is not a news site. It's a group of people who are fighting for a common cause. One needs to understand the common cause is not just helping July filers or people affected with retrogress but a bigger aim of helping all the legal employment-based immigrants. But one also needs to understand that not all the objective can be accomplished at a time and we need to strike the iron when it's hot and make every opportunity count, be it a BEC, retrogression, July filer or Visa recapturing.
Having said that, I do agree that BEC is one of the issue which should definitely be focussing on next. I'm sure IV members (even if they are not a BEC victim) will support whole heartedly any cause which can bring some relief to BEC victms. What we need is a united front and some unique ideas like flower campaign. Do not forget the flower campaign idea was pursued by one of the IV member who was not part of core.
I think critics of both sides of the argument need to have their say but in a decent manner. This is a public forum and while personal opinions are welcome please be sensitive to the situation other people are in before making any statements. Everybody needs a place to vent out but this is not an forum for vents, it is for a common cause. While we acheive some small victories in this long wait the actual battle is ahead of us and lets not lose focus. There might be many of our fellow members who might become inactive because they recd their GC's or simply not interested anymore and yet at the same time there would be many more new members joining the group for help and advise.
It is imperative to understand , as often pointed out by logiclife, that one person's loss is not anothers gain here. While some of us may feel bad because even latest PERM approved can file 485 while BEC stuck filers are waiting in the benches there is no guarantee that they will get GC before us. If that were true then there would be not so many people waiting here for their GC's. I do feel worried to an extent about how this might affect my chances of getting a GC(waiting 7 yrs already, 485 filed 3 yrs ago) but is there anything we can do to change this? -certainly, the way to change it is to look at the big picture and try to eliminate the reasons for the backlog issue and see that reduced. If that is done and we see some changes on account of the SKILL bill or any of the other initiatives like re-capture of old unused visas or one Visa number per family then all of us would be in a better situation.
For those people who are insensitive to the emotions of people who are stuck in BEC remember till yesterday you were also cursing USCIS(irrespective of your PD) about not being able to file 485 and yet today you scorn those who feel wronged for not being able to file because of this BEC mess.
Lets all unite and try to work towards the large picture issues rather than squabbling over things like this. TO BAN or Not to BAN is IV moderators perogative, if somebody violated the spirit they need to get a warning and given a chance to change or then banned..my thoughts..
cheers

July 2 receipt date is critical for me for AC21 reasons - This is the only reason I am interested to know how they intend to treat cases that were received on the 'day of denial' - not sure why you are interested in polling this thread ???:eek:

Disagreement is one thing .. name calling is another. Anyhow, I rest my case. :p .... peace
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.

All three- Lofgren, Eshoo and Pelosi- represent the High Tech areas of California, Silicon Valley and the areas around it. I'm sure there are many immigrants/IV members in those areas. We need to have a webfax and phone campaign to get interim relief now. Folks in that area can viist lawmakers offices too. Maybe CompeteAmerica wants to recapture H1 visas and EB visas for high tech immigrants too??
In 2005, a special 50K quota was carved out for Sch A. Now they're talking about another 90K quota exclusively for Sch A. I'm not against Sch A relief, but for once we High tech immigrants need relief too. We've been waiting 5 years for our Green Cards and still no end in sight!!
Its all because of corporate lobby. Corp america actually likes the H1B slave
nature thats why they never actively lobby for Green card reform for IT
professionals.
But nurses cant be hired on H1B therefore the corp lobby pushes for
Green Card reform for nurses.

I also heard a lot of different things from some of my friends not sure if all of them are true or not. I have heard that people who did Labor substitution or converted from EB3 to EB2 are getting unusually high number of RFEs compared to others. Also DOL seems to be tightening up and scrutinizing EB2 applications vigorously(this is hear say don't take my word for this). Personally the one fact that I can vouch for from my experience with my family and vast circle of friends that did apply for Green cards is that people with a straight forward EB2 application had much higher chances of getting approved even with a later priorty date. I know four friends with a PD of June 2005 EB2(and many more with earlier PDs) from one retrogressed country who got green cards during that 1 month in July 2007 when all the dates were current. But I also have several friends who are either EB3 to EB2 conversion or EB3 with much earlier PDs (2002/2003) who unfortunately are still waiting for their I 485 approval even with an earlier PDs(most of them even did PERM Labor with transfer of PD or EB3 to EB2). many of them are still replying for RFE for one or the other issue. Does having a complicated application with EB3 to EB2 transfers/ Labor substitution delay the processing or lead to more scrutiny from USCIS? I don't know. I would like to know more from the other friends in the forum who have received RFE recently regarding their experiences. Also any straight forward EB2 filers who got RFEs please post your experience.

What could be the reasons and how i Can track about my case.
Can I track my case? is there some number where i can call discuss about my case why I didn't receive my receipt
My Lawyer called the USCIS and they are saying that they are not able to generate the receipt number?
Is somebody else faced the same issue? what could be done now?
