To everyone who thinks rallies dont make a difference, as described here : http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13583
This is not an attack post. Or a criticizing post. This is purely educational and please keep this thread clean.
I know there are many out there who are snickering in their cubicles looking at the pictures of the rally and thinking "Look at these idiots, they think Congress will pass SKIL bill because they walked 1.2 miles with some placards and banners".
Such thinking is reasonable. But only if you dont know how things work.
Here is why rally of Sept 18th will be consequential:
1. When you do a rally, people notice. People recognize organization and measure its strength. It stays in their heads for a long time and they keep Immigration Voice as one of the organizations they can ask for support when they push for their own cause. In Congress, things work based on compromise, consensus and consultation. People dont just sponsor legislations they believe in. They run it thru their caucus and leadership and do a vote count. To find out how many votes would they get if they came up with this new idea. Whether it will get 218 votes in House. Whether they will get 51 votes in senate. If its filibuster proof and get 61 votes in Senate. Whether it has committee support. Whether leadership offices are in agreement to put it in schedule. All this happens in background and there are people who are hired in committees just to do vote counts on proposed ideas. IF it turns out they dont find enough support, they drop it. If they think they can pull it off, they approach leadership (Speaker in House, Maj leader in Senate) to put it in queue.
2. Let us say that Congressman X wants to sponser SKIL bill because of his constituency or a senator (like Feinstein) wants to sponsor AgJobs because food growers are having food rotten in absence of agricultural workers, a compelling cause. Now, when they want to pass legislation, they have to look for support and votes as described in item 1. When they fall short, they find ways to sweeten the pot. IF they see that a powerful organization will throw in their support and lobbying in favor of their bill if they attach a few of that organization's provisions, then they approach them. Immigration Voice did 138 lawmakers meetings (in House and Senate). They did the rally. They would consider IV as a organization that can help them PUSH for their legislation. Now we have a place at the negotiating table. If they attach our provisions (like recapture, or GC quota increase), then we can promise to do something for them. Like support the entire bill they are pushing for. They know that we can do rallies and we can do hundreds of lawmaker meetings. If Diane Feinstein (just an example) thinks that by adding skilled employment based reform provisions she can get IV's support and swing a few votes to help her pass her favorite AgJobs bill, then we have opportunity where the Senator would ask us what we want rather than us going and asking them to do things for us. One of IV members said that on the day of the rally, suddenly the office of her senator called her and scheduled and appointment to meet the same day at 4:00 PM. She had been trying to get the appointment but after they rally and Roll call newspaper ad (http://immigrationvoice.org/media/forums/iv/rollcal3a.pdf), they called her to listen to her. I heard about this from her just as the rally was over.
3. CIR has recently failed. From some meetings, I got the feeling that CIR's failure has left a bad taste in mouth and many people in Congress as well as administration are very upset about it still. Now that we have done this rally, done lawmaker meetings, put a rollcall ad, did the media blitz, press conference, congressional reception (where 4 congressmen attended and spoke in IV's support), they know that it would be a good idea to keep IV on their side and put some of their things in a bill. Next time they write a bill (behind closed doors very often), they will consult us and ask us if they can do something for IV to win IV's full support. That's because by getting IV's support on their side for whatever they are doing, they can be assured that we wont oppose it but instead support it. With phone calls, Rallies, paid ads, lawmaker meetings etc. If they are really investing in getting a bill passed, they would include our provisions just to increase the odds.
Strength respects strength. If we have the strength to do things and make a difference (rallies, meetings, receptions, press conferences, paid ads), then that strength begets more strenght because other powers want us to join hands with them so that they can do their favorite things (AgJobs, DREAM etc).
I thought the rally helps bring attention to our cause and put pressure. I never knew so many things go on behind the scenes.
I think by the time we get our green cards, we all will be experts in the nitty gritty of American Politics

There is no such thing in the Indian Constitution as the "national language." You can either read the document yourself or you can refer to the recent (late June 2010) judgment by the Gujarat High Court to this effect.
There should be respect for all Indian languages. The more Indian languages you know, the more familiar you will become with India and Indian culture. Those who do not know Hindi need not rule it out from the list of other Indian languages they could learn. And the same can be said for any of Assamese, Marathi, Gujarati, Telugu, etc.

BharatPremi has brought up a good point. There needs to be some corrective action that needs to be undertaken here.
At lease some of those that are absent from the meeting are not cowards as the core-team implies. We all know that.
State level members can judge the organization better than core-team that receives a "feedback" from state level leadership.
I have reservations about the style of texas leadership myself.
If we are open, let us discuss it at state level.
( Volunteership and leadership are not always the same )

hi mirage,
you dont need to pay anymore money for EAD when you apply in future. this is what my attorney said. Thats why USCIS fees is very high and its one time fess for EAD and AP.
Actually you are partly right. Only those who had paid the revised higher fee last year are eligible to get renewals for free. All those who had paid the regular fee (July filers) pay for renewal everytime

Yes but dont you think that the Call Center would be notified about the same??
Guess what I called again and this time the poor soul knew NOTHING about I-485 rejections!! :p He put me on hold and finally said, "We have received no such notice that they are rejecting I-485s, so if you applied it should be processed".
So much for "educated" call center workers. If this call center was in India, atleast we would all get ONE answer. It may have been the wrong answer, but atleast it would be CONSISTENT :P

Info I provided on G325 is correct. I have only worked for 'Employer #1' and 'Employer #2', which I entered in G325. I have never worked for 'Employer X' and I did not mention 'Employer X' in G325.
Thanks.
Well, It depends on whether you did a transfer from Employer #2 to Employer X OR Employer X filed a new H1B. If this is a transfer, you should not waste any more time on this forum, rather contact an attorney immediately and get help.

Dude,
Please stop confusing people - there is no such thing as a H-1B transfer.
It is a misnomer. When you move to a new employer, the new employer files a "new petition" with a request to extend your stay.
If you wish to continue working for your current employer, you can do so.
Refer to snathan's post, he has summed it up correctly.
The original poster is good to go - all he has to do is inform USCIS that the never worked for the new employer, and therefore, there are no paystubs, w2forms, etc.
Yes there is and it is called visa portability. :) this is for you as well piyu, do not jump into summary so fast. When you say some one is wrong, you have to quote law.
Ok, Here's what law says about so called "transfer"

What does the introduction of SKIL bill in House mean to us? i.e. what are the likely scenarios from here on? Thanks in advance.
It seems tough to have this being passed unless CIR dies. Only 10 weeks are left for any bill to be debated and passed by both houses. In my opinion it is very difficult. I would personally wait to hear opinion about this bill by legal experts and media. It is too early to speculate on its failure or success.
btw. If Uma Thurman endorses this Skil Bill it will definitely get passed!!

Folks, don't make travel plans based on the approval e-mail that will be sent of automatically from USCIS. Mine & my wife's application's were approved and mailed nine days ago (6/18) and we made travel plans for yesterday (6/26) . Guess what. I got my approval notice in mail only yesterday and my wife's approval doc never came. We have to cancel the whole trip now.
Also, USCIS updated the status on our AP's four days later after the approval e-mail was sent saying the documents were mailed only on 6/22. Called the USCIS customer service three times and I got three different answers.
1. We sent approval notice on 6/18 and will be sending the AP document soon (In fact there is no such thing called approval notice and AP separately. This guy has no idea what he is talking about at the USCIS)
2. We sent the approval notice on 6/18 and confirmed that the document is out in the mail where in fact the document I received yesterday had a USPS stamping day of 6/22.
3. We sent the document on 6/22 and you should be gettting them in less than 30 days. If not please give us a call back.
Lesson learned. Don't trust USCIS and USPS delivery system and don't make travel plans unless you have all the doc's in hand.

Aur abhi abhi project go live hua hai to hum bhi thora fursat main hain, to socha , chalo arunmurthy ko bash karke time pass karte hai.

Indeed it seems very few people are interested as most member may have their 485 submitted already. EB immigrants are a small minority of this country, yet we are only a small portion of this small minority. It is a sad fact, but it should not stop us from fighting..
Dear jchan,
We are very interested in this provision. Immigration Voice has heavily invested in this measure, both, legislatively and administrative. We have consistenly advocated for this provision which we believe will curb arm twisting by bad employers, that are like few bad apples in the big basket. Such a provision will help everyone including USCIS, lawyers, genuine companies, and direct+indirect beneficiary. Its a win-win for all.

BTW this Berry guy seems to be in the know of everything happening on this site. I hope at least now those blowhards among us who insist of by-the-minute updates and "where is my 20$" questions appreciate why the core members don't give updates on these forums. If you are so keen on updates, get off your backsides and pick up that darn phone !!!

He transferred H1 to Company B and worked for 5 weeks and descided to come back to company A (He is 100% sure that Company A didn't revoke / calcel his H1 and he has valid H1 till 2009).
IS this OK?
Please help by clarifying...
Thanks
Folks....my friend went to India and went to chennai for VISA on Company A. HE got the VISA (Visa officer asked lot of questions about the compnay A..like paystubs, Bankstatements...etc..).
But altogether..very happy.
