Fragomen has been great for me
It depends on which office of Fragomen you are dealing with or should I say which attorney. One of the attorneys in DC office took 8-9 months to file my labor.

With a due respect, I am differ with your statement on Competeamerica. Competeamerica has always promoted H1B and EB provision together. I haven't seen any time that they promoted only H1B.
I spoke with one guy at Competeamerica and he told me that IV is neutral on H1B issue eventhough all members have came through that root. Personally I am very positive with Competeamerica and it is not good for us to speak negative for this organization.
I know CA promotes both , but issue is whether they do that equally.
I have a feeling h1b is more on agenda.
Just that you belive what they are saying....either way u will see when h1b gets increased without eb reform.

You stand a better chance of getting it through your kids if they are citizens than getting it through EB3. There are a few options to get green card faster. Canada is not one of them.
1. Get a Ph.D, get a job in a univ and apply in EB-1.
2. Get a MBA and get a management job and apply in EB-1.
3. Become a religious worker in some temple and apply in the religious worker category.
PhD is no trivial thing. One does a phd only if one is truly motivated.
Plus PhD doesn't guarantee EB1 either.
Since 2001 downturn PhD graduates are having a hard time getting faculty positions
as education budgets haven't increased much and therefore faculty positions are very hard to get unless you are from a top school like UIUC, Stanford etc.
You will have to do 1-2 years of post doc at 30K per annum salary to land a
faculty position.
So you are looking at 6 (phd) years + 2 (post doc)years to land a job as faculty
and after that it might take1 years to get GC.
Living on 6 years of 18K per annum salary(Phd) + 2 years of 30K per annum salary (post doc) is no easy.
You are better off working on H1B . At least you will earn more and have a better life.

I currently have an L1 visa, and my H-1B has been approved (with the same employer). The H-1 was applied for as an initial petition. I'm going to get the H-1 stamp on December 18th this year. I'll be coming back to the states then after January 1st.
Are there any issues with a new sponsor filing to a H-1B transfer straight away after I come back? I will have pay slips with my current company, but they will mostly be from when I was on an L-1 visa. Is this an issue with this? Or is there anything else I would need to be concerned with?
Thanks in advance.

PD, I don't agree with the phrasing of the new Labor Cert clause. That is not how I read Frist's bill. Did you make up the new labor cert clause yourself?
Will advanced degree holder need labor certification?
I think they will. Here is how the new labor certification clause will read:
So labor certification is required for advanced degree holder in STEM with 3 years of US experience prior to applying will be treated as special a case.
Also, this clause says that the degree has to be from a US university. I think Attorney Mathew Oh is wrong in saying that graduate degree holders in STEM from foreign universities can apply too.

The only positive I can take from this is that it will remove most if not all the US masters degree holders from the general queue.
It may take time but atleast for people such as myself (direct H1B in 1999), we can move up in the queue.
I sincerely hope that IV supports this initiative.

H1B transfer to another company does not automatically invalidate the existing H1B.
From his post it seems he was always in status and on H1B with some employer. He at some point thought of joining employer X, filed for transfer but then refused to join them.
No problems with that.

Dear Members,
We are working hard to assist our members coming to DC for the advocacy days. Many members have been helped by local DC members by providing accommodation in their homes.
We are trying very hard to manage the high expense of this event ranging from booking a conference room in a hotel near Capitol hill, printing and buying bulk media drives for each meeting, organizing a press event to Congressional reception expenses. Our budget is $50 thousand dollars for the entire event and we are struggling to meet this goal. Our minimum budget for these events is 50K budget. At this time we have received around $7,500 dollars as contribution from IV members, and we wholeheartedly Thank every who has contributed. But we need everyone to step up to the plate and do their fare share. We have a tough road ahead and we need every one to help for their ow cause. In the past IV Team had spent their personal resources to get the effort going and have our voices heard. We are all working hard to organize these events despite some of the core members already getting their Green card holders. It is now up to each member how valuable they view this effort and can stand up for themselves. Each one of us is participating this effort for own self rather than doing any favor to others or to IV. Please donate generously for this event so that we can make it a success..
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum85-action-items-for-everyone/1534974-funding-drive-iv-needs-your-support-for-advocacy-events-in-dc.html
Travel:
Some members have approached us seeking help in their tickets. We are not in a position to pay for travel or arrange buses for anyone. We would like to help them by starting this thread and urging other members to donate their skymiles to others that are coming.
Please post on this thread if you are willing to donate your skymiles. An IV representative will keep a tab on all skymiles and connect both the donor and recipient after verifying that the recipient will be coming to Dc and using these skymiles only for the advocacy days for himself.
We have a member from a state where we do not have many members and needs American Airlines miles. He would need more than 1 lakh miles. There are a few more in our list.
Carpool:
If you are driving to DC, please post so that others can carpool with you.
Accommodation in DC
IV urges local DC members to volunteer and provide accommodation to guest members from other states in their homes. Please post on this thread if you would like to open your homes for other IV friends.

Hi guys,
I have just called the USCIS. They told me that the applications will not be rejected but just put on hold until our visa numbers will be avialiable ifor the nerw FY 2008.
In addition she told me that the Nebraska office is sending back the filing receipt to the applicants which it should not affect our h1-b visa status in case we are going to travel.
For the last part I do not believe her. Is there anyone else that can confirm that ?
Thank you.
Andrea

Thing is they not always predictable. My spose EAD was approved in June. The aprroved the EAD starts after the current one ends in Oct. I dont know how they were trained to handle this.
And the worst thing is they approve it from the date tey approve it to 1 year after..My EAD which was expiring on 2th Sep'2008 was approved until Jun 20th 2009. Basically I got a 9 months extension...What a plan...

Personally I think there are no more than 8000 applications left. How I arrived at this number..
Total EB1+EB2 visas = 80,000
Per Quarter allocation= 20,000
Discount factor for dependants = 2.5
Application Left = 20,000/2.5 = 8,000
So the question is how many application are left before Jun'06?

Thanks gapala, for your input. will verify it and post it here.
My 'Employer #2' H1B I-94 and 'Employer X' H1B I-94 numbers matches with I-94 number that I got at 'POE'.
Receipt Data is July-2006 for 'Employer X' H1B.
According to Gapala's logic, my H1 is transfer, not NEW.
I am assuming I-94 only changes at 'POE'.
This is what I observed after carefully reviewing my documents:-
If you go out of the country and come back in to US on same H1B, say n times, you will get a different I-94 number each time. but if you apply n H1B's from n employers during your continues stay in USA, you will get same I-94 number. Again, this is my observation and may not be correct.
Experts....please comment on this (wrong or right).
If my above statement is correct, then Gapala's I-94 number logic to differentiate 'new h1b' vs 'transferred h1b' is incorrect.
I think this issue comes down to - 'new H1B & transfer H1B'
Based on my past research, H1B is always NEW. There is nothing called 'transferring H1B', but I am sure Gapala will not agree with me or some other IV members here on this...
Gapala, Can I request the source for your argument(new H1B &Transfer H1B are different.) . Was this your observation from forums or from attorney or articles from murthy.com?
