I was confused because of this statement which is stating 60 days only -
For a new H1B, a grace period of up to 60 days is allowed before you can start work after entering the country.
One more thing I'm sorry. Last April(last entry date) when I came back after vacation, I transferred to a new company, after I got the receipt number they asked me to start working (that was around April too). Until now, I haven't received any approval yet. What should I enter in my present employer details, my old company or new company (wherein my transfer is still in process)?
Thanks again.

Put suggestion on Immigration Secretary's website to move back substituted labors according to substitution dates (I-140 filing)
Hi ps3539 (Mr Genius)-->
What should be done to people who already got their GC or Citizenship using substitute labor? Should they be kicked out of the USA?

[QUOTE=msp1976]You see ...even in this text.They did not remove the limits as you claim...Unless and until they write that the 7% limit does not apply...all your logic remains on paper and not in practice...QUOTE]
Please try to read law carefully. The law will not have simple terms as you think. They have to draft the law in the language of the act. Any way the meaning is same.
The law explicitly say that the 7% country limit does not apply to the EB1, EB2, EB3, EB4, EB5 catagories, if excess visas available in those catagories.

That really helps. But we need more stories from IV members. It need not be earth shattering like being a researcher in some cutting edge lab or an exec in a top 50 firm. We all have our own stories
If you read the first post, the senator (I think it was Kennedy) made a big deal about some immigrant he knew who had a very 'ordinary' life. All of us in IV are atleast one step ahead in the sense that we all are 'highly skilled'.
It could be about a Software Engineer who cannot get a promotion and has to reject more lucrative/satisfying offers from other firms to a person who is qualified as a High School teacher who cannot teach because she does not have an H1 visa
It could be about someone getting frustrated and applying to Canada as a backup otion or someone. Someone else might have a spouse who has been on H4 for 6 years and now cannot work inspite of avaiability of sponsor because one may use only 6 years of H visa.
Guys, unless we all chip in, lets forget about getting any resolution to this issue. IV is doing all it can and has been getting some success in getting amendments introduced. But unless we all step up to the plate, we can assure you it will be very difficult for us to protect these amendments in the senate. House conference will just chew us until we make some noise.
There are 3000 members on this forum, can't we even get a 100 decent stories to pass on to the media? Its difficult to convice media to write about us with only 5 people's stories......please chip in....as promised, no personal info about you will be revealed, unless you explicity mention that to us....

Pappu, you make more sense. Let me know how i can help you. ( no accusing bud ). Its your fellow admin who is turning into a comedian.
Please contact your state chapter to help. If you chapter is inactive, please help lead it. Get more people involved. This will be the best help you can offer. If you want to help with customer service email me at info at immigrationvoice.org your details.
And please stop calling admin a comedian. We take this effort very very seriously. This is not a joke. You can afford to write whatever you want anonymously. But we do not. We are replying to your post in detail past midnight and taking care of other IV work at this time knowing fully well that I have to get up very early tomorrow for a busy day.
Sometimes when I see such posts accusing IV for all kinds of reasons, I sometimes think why we are doing this work?
Good night.

# USCIS has just released their tally of cap filings as of 04/04/2007, Wednesday. In two days (04/02 and 04/03), they received 133,000 unique pieces of mail containing H-1B petitions, which turned out to be lower than 150,000 which they had initially reported. They reached the updated number following a physical count of the mail. Each piece of mail may contain more than one H-1B petition and it will take USCIS a substantial amount of time to open and sort through that volume of mail. It is a good news in a way that at the end, the total may turn out to be less than guestimate in the community and the rate of odds for winning in the lottery may be much more promising than the one initially anticipated in the rumors.
# As of Wednesday, total they sorted out and each type of cases identified were as follows:
* Total Sorted Out: 32,755
* General cap cases: 28,052
* U.S. Master or higher degree cases: 4,703
# The USCIS promises to update report from time time as they continue to sort out the remaining packages.

Is this period (July 1st 2004 to Feb 28th 2005) considered as Legal Status assuming the following scenario
1.company Applied for H1 transfer on July 1st 2004
2.Started taking Training from the companyfrom July 1st 2004 and finished Training on 30th Aug 2004
3.Started the client project and got payslips from Sep1st 2004 till 15th Feb 2005
4.Got employment letter from company from July 1st 2004 to 28th Feb 2005
If I am not mistaken, you can start working for a new employer as soon as they apply for a H1 transfer. You have 240 day period, in which it must be approved. You should be ok, assuming that you got the approval within 240 days of July 1st 2004.

This interview EXPOSED how un-informed and careless and whimsical are IOs in handling cases. MEMO should have been framed on their desks/mind....we don't have to remind these guys. In one moment they can deny as important a petition as AOS and just in a flash second they can approve it. They won't make any effort to dig out relevant info. It is like fliping a coin...plain luck when it comes to GC.
God BLESS all those current...Amen!!!
The problem with the IOs is that they have so much work they don't have time to look at the folders for long. Some time ago I attended interview of my fiance's - she was sponsored by her mom. This was such a shock to me, the IO had NO IDEA what was in folder, asked stupid questions and attempted to deny the case improperly - and then I kicked in and explained the story.... That really sucks.

One Psycho gave me this red dot for posting my interview experience.
I'm really happy to hear this. Serves you right for making calls and taking InfoPass all the time. You are unfairly trying to get ahead of others and lowering the productivity of USCIS. Let them work.
See the attachment for screen shot...red_by_psycho.jpg and enjoy.
Hey..Sicko..get some help.:D:D
Also, my message to you..
Instead of me letting USCIS do their work (in a way, i am calling them to remind their work..or probably you should tell IV folks to shut down everything and let USCIS do their work..a**hole....) probably you can quit job and go back to your country..I am sure you will do a great job of Lorry driver or cleaner (their psyche seems to match yours..sorry, lorry brothers no offense to you)
I guess you can shut your pie hole now..
I agree. Some idiots are just being irritating pain in the b***.
Someone gave me a "red" with totally unjustified reason. Initially I was upset - and I complained about it - found that he gave me more reds with similar comment from multiple userids (because one userid can't give multiple green/red to the same post). And this guy is doing at weird times ..like 5 in the morning (so psyco is the right description ... now I am sure he is going to given couple of reds to me :D )
After rethinking - now I don't care much about reds - someone is just pissed off, jealous or having fun ... red might make us (and our posts) look less reliable ... however I decided to keep my blood-pressure low and psyco's high :D ..so go ahead psyco - add more reds !!

Of course they go by receipt date, but question is what is the receipt date? Each center enters data, and places folder in sequence of when they, the Center, received the file (and decided to accept it). This date is close to ND, but may be quite different than RD on your receipt, sometimes by several months (due to noone accepting huge volumes of July/Aug07 filings, or for some reason disputing as to which center should work on the case).
There are thousands of instances where cases were filed in July 07, but entered into the system in Sept/Oct 07. For all purposes, their RD is what you see online as "your case was received on...", which is close to ND.
See my earlier posts in this thread. If you ask a center if they are processing cases based on RD or ND, they will always say RD, because that is true based on their defintion of RD.
They will state they go by RD but check what RD they have in their system, does not matter what RD you have in your receipt.
May be it is an issue for transfer cases only where initially RD was issued by another service center say VSC and then case was transferred to TSC and TSC is using RD the date when they got the case. At least that is case for my app they told me. My lawyer is following up and if they don't fix it i Plan on using Congressman, Senator etc even a law suit as it is ridiculous that TSC sen the app to VSC for data entry and is not willing to honor the RD which VSC entered.

Dude,
I just saw this post and I would like to understand a bit more about what you read. So, I have two questions for you:
1. What is your EB category?
- I am EB2 India Sept 2006.
2. What exactly did the memo say? Now be careful and think hard before you post.
- I can't reproduce as it is, as I just had a cursoy look at it. I just went through it. I was more worried about my Namecheck, as she hadn't said she would let me know about my Namecheck as of the moment.
When she showed it to me, I was expecting that the memo would be from USCIS, but it was clearly written at the top as Department of State?
For instance, you may cover the following in your post:
- Who was it addressed to?
I don't remeber.
- What was the subject?
It was some thing like 245- xxxxx India/China
- Was it about about EB or FB?
It was about EB and she said it is for EB2 India/China
- Did it mention any dates?
Not Sure
- Did it mention any country names?
- Yes. India/China
- Was there anything about what the adjudicators are supposed to do?
I don't remember exactly. But at the bottom it URGENT was written three times. The IO said they just received it and it supersedes everything.
- Which city/state was this?
In Midwest.
Your response will be very helpful.
Thanks.
I really don't understand why people think I am lying????
When I read the memo, I was more worried about my name check and whether she would check the status of it than about this, as anyhow my dates are not current. After showing the memo, she did offer to check the status.
With all the experience our guys have with USCIS officers and staff, it's hard to belive an IO would be that helpful? But, she's and even the staff at this office is not as bad as others have experienced.
I was even telling my wife about the behaviour and how staff at other offices behave.

Do you think the visa numbers are over and that is the reason why they cannot allot visa number to you?
My file is also in local office for the past 4 years and waiting for approval and not able to get any information at all. They keep saying extended back ground check that check and they lose files and it keeps on going with endless wait.

It is true that all EB1/EB2 overflow visas at this point and in the next few months would get used for EB3 ROW...If and when EB3 ROW becomes current, at that point the overflow visas would be used for EB3 China/India...
That is because the country cap 7% and 5% for dependents is already satisfied for China/India....
You have to understand the caps work in a complicated way..
total EB cap 140K
EB5 - 7.1% anything not used flows downward in the list..
EB4 - 7.1% anything not used flows downward in the list
EB1 - 28.6% anything not used flows downward in the list
EB2 - 28.6% anything not used flows downward in the list
EB3 - 28.6% nothing usually left...Anything left is not used ... Those are the unused numbers everyone wants to recpature....
Schedule A Workers: Employment First, Second, and Third preference Schedule A applicants are entitled to up to 50,000 “recaptured” numbers. These are folks from medical occupations...nurses etc...
In addition to this there is a country cap of 7% for principal and 5% for dependents..

After all these posts your plan of action is to start a blog and send emails to Congress. :D
Is that all you can think of? I suggest you educate yourself first on how laws in Congress are changed. Talk to others who were able to change laws in Congress. Then find out how they did it, money they spent, time it took and people it took.
In this country if you want to do anything via congress you have to lobby. Tell me one bill in this country that was passed because someone created a blog and emailed congress.
Before laughing at others why don't you update your profile with your GC filing details??
