shrayus,
Though, wouldn't you agree that the opporuntity to get promoted to a higher position/job title is greater for you in your home country than in US?
:p Hi Friends,
Working conditions are always somewhat hostile no matter which country you are working. I was working in India in a pretty good company but I was experiencing red tapism, nepotism and all the standard problems of a job culture of India. Here in America, we have only one "Seemingly very horrible" problem of immigration problem. But the good part is, it is common to a lot of people ! So why not to fight for it through a common plateform like this one !
I think that is also one rational solution among others.

Friends please help me with some of the question for filling 485.
1. In what status did you last enter US? My wife entered US in H4 in 2005 and then converted to H1B in 2006. So what should I write here? Is it 'DEPENDENT' or H4?
2. Format of covering letter if any needed?
3. Do I have to mail I485, EAD and AP to different addresses or all goes to one single address in one envalope per applicat?
4. In anotherthread it says "5. Completed Period of Stay form. Completed in chronological order starting with first entry into US, and all changes of status, extensions, exits and entries, down to your current status. ". Is this needed and if needed is there any specific format?
Thanks for all the help.

andy_garcia, the measures in 2238 are draconian. They are going to treat each employer like h1 dependant employer. The salary requirements are increased. Sub contracting is out. No company with more than 50 employees can employ more than 50% H1bs. The job will have to be advertised first. All this makes it as difficult a procedure to follow as obtaining a green card itself.
For giving green card, I can understand that the government make strict rules, but for giving out H1Bs, why is the govt acting like commies? Shouldnt the companies be able to decide whom to hire, and whom not to?I agree with some provisions of 2238 such as - not giving job preference to h1b or advertising that the job is available only to h1bs

Guys:
I hope this is true & I am not imagining things.
I went thru the doc list & I had a few questions for the experts out there :
1) Do I need all my I -94 s or just the latest ?
2) I dont really have a birth certificate, can some document like the Std X / School leaving etc substitute along with a notarized statement ?
3) What is with the medical records ? What records would I need ?
Thanks
ENJOY !!!

Nonresidents Needn’t File Foreign Bank Account Forms (For Now)
by phil on 2009/06/09
It brings to mind Emily Litella. “Never mind,” says the IRS.
The IRS just announced that — despite the changes to the FBAR instructions made effective January 1, 2009 — nonresidents do not have to file Form TD F 90-22.1. Only citizens, U.S. residents, and domestic entities need to do so.
Announcement 2009-51
Temporary Suspension of FBAR filing Requirements for Persons who are not Citizens, Residents, or Domestic Entities
June 5, 2009
The Internal Revenue Service is temporarily suspending the reporting requirement with respect to foreign bank accounts (Form TD F 90.22-1 (Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts) due on June 30, 2009, for those persons who are not citizens, residents, or domestic entities. The revised Form TD F 90.22-1 (October 2008) was issued with a change in the instructions to the definition of “United States person.” The IRS has received a number of questions and comments from the public concerning the new filing requirement that may require additional guidance.
To reduce the burden on the public with respect to FBARs due on June 30, 2009, all persons may rely on the definition of “United States person” found in the instructions for the prior version of the FBAR (the July 2000 version) to determine whether they have an obligation to file an FBAR. The definition of “United States person” from the prior version is as follows:
United States Person The term “United States person” means (1) a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a domestic partnership, (3) a domestic corporation, or (4) a domestic estate or trust.
The definition of the term “United States person” from the instructions for the prior version of the FBAR form may be relied upon for purposes of determining who must file an FBAR. All other requirements of the current version of the FBAR form and instructions (revision October 2008) are still in effect. The current version of the form must be used when filing an FBAR.
The substitution of the definition of “United States person” from the instructions for the prior version of the FBAR applies only with respect to FBARs due on June 30, 2009. Additional guidance will be issued with respect to FBARs due in subsequent years.
The Service invites interested persons to submit comments regarding the revised FBAR form and instructions (revision October 2008). Please submit comments by August 31, 2009 to: Internal Revenue Service, CC:PA:LPD:PR (Announcement 2009-51), room 5203, P.O. Box 7604, Ben Franklin Station, Washington, DC 20044. Submissions also may be hand delivered Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. to: CC:PA:LPD:PR (Announcement 2009-51), Courier’s Desk, Internal Revenue Service, 1111 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, DC. Alternatively, taxpayers may submit electronic comments directly to the IRS e-mail address: notice.comments@irscounsel.treas.gov (attention: Announcement 2009-51).
The principal author of this announcement is Adrienne Mikolashek of the Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Procedure and Administration). For further information regarding this announcement contact Adrienne Mikolashek at 202-622-4940 not a toll-free call).
What does this mean to you?
* If you are a nonresident of the United States and you were concerned about getting caught up in this new requirement, you have a temporary reprieve. You do not need to file Form TD F 90-22.1 at this time.
* Don’t go to sleep. The danger is not gone. It will be back for calendar year 2009 and future years. We just don’t know what the exact requirements will be.
* Look at the way you have configured your U.S. investments and U.S. business operations. Make changes now. This is an unexpected window of opportunity to restructure your affairs. Seize it.

dudu,
Yes, by receiveng the letter at least I know that my case was not lost during the trasnfer from SWA to Dallas BEC. My lawer said that DOL told them that they do not have a system in place yet to check the case status. They do not anticipate that they will have a system in place until they are able to issue 45-day letters on all applications, which they anticipate will be by the end of June 2006. Even at that point, we do not know how quickly they will be able to implement a system to provide information on processing times. My lawer also said that they will notify me as soon as they receive any additional correspondence from the Department of Labor regarding my case.
Bottom line my manager still do not have to do anything, becuse he does not have any instructions. Long, long time of waiting ahead ;-(
I hope this helps

Do you have a lawyer? what is his/her take on this? Did you use a company lawyer? If you are denied due to ability to pay issues, presumably everyone else during the same time period/similar jobs are to be denied too.

Couple of months there was specualtion that Senator Cornyn might attach SKIL Act to an appropriations bill during lame duck session.
Is this still on track? Anybody?

If you want to narrow the difference of PD between EB3 and EB2 then many EB3 persons eligible for EB2 need to convert to EB2. If you want EB3 and EB2 PD to become current then recapture bill or any EB reform bill need to be passed in congress. There is no easy way out.
Nobody is even talking about EB3-I. How can we get some help from IV on this matter? We must do something.
