I have a couple of questions, pl let know if you have valid info.
Situation: My spouse came to US on H4 and then got converted to H1.Due to delay in pay and not a strong case, she is not willing to go for H1 visa stamping next time when she goes to India. She wasnts to go for H4 visa stamping instead.
1. Is it better to convert to H4 here and then leave for India? We feel that if it would take time to convert to H4, then instead of waiting she can work till the last day here and then quit and leave(because she wants to leave ASAP). Also changing from H1 to H4 here means submitting paystubs and other documents and more scrutiny. I think in Chennai consulate there will be less questions if applying for H4. Any thoughts, pl help?
2. If applying for H4 in Chennai, will they ask for paystubs from her previous H1 status? They shouldnt since she is applying for H4, but I still wanted to know. If they ask why do you want to change back to H4, what is the best answer?
3. Travelling on an expired visa from East coast to Chennai. If there is no time to get transit visa to travel thru Europe, which is the shortest route/best airlines to get to Chennai quickest from say, Atlanta? Pl help

Dear Elaine Chao,
As a responsible member of Governance of the Department of Labor, could you please explain to the hard working employees who pay Social Security and Taxes and exist legally in the country, why the Department is not processing their applications for Labor Certifications and Petitions for Legal immigrant status expeditiously?
You are responsible to ensure that these applications are dealt with expeditiously and decisions communicated urgently. Current delays and backlogs indicate irresponsibility and lack of administrative acument on the part of the Department. A search online on the internet will be an enriching and educative experience for you and your Department on the efficiencies of your Department and employees.
You are requested to kindly implement processes and policies that ensure maximum efficiency and effectiveness in dealing with applications. I, like hundreds of others are unable to understand the delay in adjudicating an application with bonafide requests. Audits requests are perfectly understandable. So is the requirement for responses within 30 days. However, what is in comprehensible is the inordinate delay in review of the requested documents and communicating the decision.
I am hoping this Department will take notice and move towards the path of efficiencies soon. It is unfathomable that a Department of your importance is unable to handle requests of a few hundred applications each month. We have heard of US losing the COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE. This is just another example of the same. Lack of concern, skills, efficiency and mental wherewithal to conduct normal order of business efficiently.
I am looking forward to you taking the gauntlet and prove it wrong and process all backlogs expeditiously.
Help us take this country of immigrants to its old glory. Help us turn this economy back into the highs. Help us bring America to the edge of Technological Advances, Innovative and breakthrough products, never before seen R&D efforts.
Kind Regards,
PERM applicant with Audit response sent within 30 days and waiting for DOL to review the same since over 9 months and others!!!!

Thanks for correcting me :) yes the Antibody titer test
And yes both me and my wife got it done. In fact my wife just got this done today.
Thank you sanan, I guess you meant Antibody titer test (immunization test)
So what you are saying is, if one does not has the Vaccination record, concern DR would do this immunization (Antibody titer) test in place of vaccination record and can you confirm that you have gone thru exact scenario ?

Hundreds of members visit this website every day. I am just really surprised that we are having trouble getting people to participate in Advocacy Days and raising $50,000. It seems like a no-brainer to me to participate in whatever way possible.
There have been around 250 contributions so far. Some members have contributed a few hundred dollars each, with a couple of members contributing $500+ each, and some have pledged $100 for every $2500 or $5000 raised, just to help try and reach the target. They wouldn't have had to put in so much if everyone else chipped in.
I am really curious to know why you are not getting more involved and at least contributing financially to this effort if you cannot attend the Advocacy days. You are the beneficiary. What is holding you back from trying to do something tangible to help yourself, your family and your friends? Are you seriously going to tell me that it's not even worth $50 to you?
This is the best shot we are going to have in the next two years.
I am not doing this for IV. I'm doing this for myself, my brother and my friends stuck in the green card mess.

Please note that even tho the dates have moved, we are not out of the woods. There is a definate possibililty that the dates could regress in October. If you choose consular processing and your category/country retrogresses then it will have implications. Talk to your lawyer before taking any decision.
If you are lucky then its straightforward, for some its a nightmare, namecheck can take some time in the meantime your category can regress.
I'm trying to make decision to pick consular or Adj. status.
Please, can somebody tell me the flow on Adj. status here.
1-File 485.
2. Finger Print notice (you said around 30 days)
3.?? (medical??)
4.?? (FBI??)
5.??
and total approximate time for same center for all family.
I really apreciate if you can also write your experience to compare Consular and Adj. status.
Thanks

Menendez Wants CIR During Lame Duck Session
By Jerry Kammer , September 20, 2010
On yesterday's "Al Punto," the Spanish-language TV network Univision's Sunday morning news program, Sen. Robert Menendez said he will introduce "comprehensive immigration reform" legislation in hopes of getting it passed during the upcoming lame duck session of Congress.
"If we are going to be ready for the opportunity that perhaps will exist during the session after the elections -- where many senators are retiring and have the freedom to vote without political considerations -- we have to have something so that we can make progress at that moment in November," the New Jersey Democrat said in an interview with host Jorge Ramos.
If the bill does not pass in November, he said, he and other supporters of the legislation will be ready to move when the new Congress convenes in January.
In a separate segment of the same program, Ramos interviewed Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who rejected claims that the state's controversial new immigration law, widely known as SB 1070, is racist and anti-Hispanic.
"The Hispanic population is part of our DNA, and that's why it's so painful when persons think that it is based in racism," Brewer said. (This is a translation of the program's Spanish-language voice-over of her remarks.) She called Hispanics "a fundamental part of our culture."
"We passed SB 1070 because we cant accept the costs of illegal immigration," Brewer told Ramos.

have you ever took a vacation day off faking ill-health either of yourself or somebody you know? when its convenient for us, we tend to legitimize what we do, when somebody else does it, they have to suffer. And oh no, you are not selfish, you are just jealous
Oh yes, sick leave, have you worked for Losers and Traiters on site? do they have a sick leave policy for on site slaves? do any one of them have one for sick leave or for that matter anything else? would you send me one from your company?
My friend was working for Losers and Traiters - got real sick due to neck pain - took leave from work - went to a doctor - doctor suggected him a treatment for a month. Guess what, they shipped him back. Who will have an "idle resource" on site? How ethical.
I asked them to provide a copy of their US insurance policy and on-site employee handbook. I am yet to get one, besides the manager told me since I am no way connected to Losers and Traiters (who wants to?), I am not allowed to ask for such documents. The poor slave friend of mine went to India and resigned within a week.
now....from your posts, you seem to be a slave working for the welfare of one of these companies (desi or dcc). Keep up the good work. And don't forget to ask your boss about the documents mentioned above.

This has been a posted by a fellow member 5 pages ago.. ARE THEY DIVERTING EB3 NUMBERS to some other categories?
Pappu or someone knowledgeable about backlog..please answer.
EB3 ROW is at Jun 2004. But as per latest USCIS inventory, EB3 ROW pending 485's are around 48,000. Visa numbers available every year for EB3 is approximately 42k. If you deduct the backlogged EB3 countries (4x3000) visa numbers, the total comes down to 30k for EB3 ROW. So EB3 ROW should become current or atleast Jul 07 in another 1.5 years. If this is not going to happen, it means they are diverting the EB3 numbers to some other categories.
my 2 cents
Note : If EB3 ROW has 30k visas per year and pending EB3 ROW 485's are only 50k.. why it is still hanging in 2004. God only knows !!

My wife and son are going to India on vacation this summer. Their current H4 visa got expired (June 2006) on their passports. They have a valid I-797 notice expiring Oct 2007.
However, I am applying my H1B extension next month and will get 3 years extension sometime in May 2007. I want to get them visa stamp based on my new approval notice.
For dependent H4 visa stamp, do they need their own approval notice 797 or principal's approval notice be sufficient to get the stamping?
Thanks.
SK
H4 approval notice is not valid once she is out of the country. She needs to stamp her H4 visa based on your H1 approval notice.

So this $300/$500 collection target is something to work towards, but once I am in the team, I get to run/walk even if I am unable to raise the full amount, right?
Of Course you can still walk/jog/run with Team IV at a Team IV event.
We encourage you to reach your fundraising goal of $300 or $500, and in the Welcome Package you will get several ideas on how to conduct your fundraising. This is all provided as part of the Targeted Fundraising Plan. $300 and $500 are nominal goals and can be easily reached within one years time. Of course, you will always have my help and Santb1975's help to get you to your fundraising goal.
Lastly, you can also do this in groups to make it easier and more fun. For instance, my non-IV friend who has signed up with Team IV will host a Coffee Hour with me. All guests will buy baked goods from us (coffee is on the house) and the total money raised can be split 2-ways to add to our individual fundraising goals.
