audio streaming archives are available 1 to 2 hours after the show. Check here http://wamu.org/programs/kn/08/03/24.php#20155.
Our segment was about 40 minutes in. My web streamer won't allow fast forward, don't know if limitation is the client or the server. Robert and Ron go through the standard Pro / Anti H1B arguments for the first 40 minutes. I didn't want to be part of that.
I hate listening to my own voice, thanks for the complements, it will make listening to my own voice less cringing.

I have ALWAYS gone in T-shirt and Jeans and never had a problem. They dont really care about your appearance, although it is a good idea to dress decently.

Hi,
I recently (one month back) got laid off from the company who filed for my green card. Today i got RFE on my 485 (AOS) requesting "currently dated and original letter from current employerthat specifies dates of employment, current postion, wage, and that the terms and conditions of the empployment petition continue to exist".
I am not working with the company anymore but I am on their payroll till July 21st 2009.
I am still looking for a new job so i don't have any prospective employer yet. I have to reply back before July 19th so I don't have enough time left.
My company said they can't give me employment letter now so my companies lawyer suggested that they will send reply with their own cover letter and my last two months paystubs. 3 years of tax returns.
Do you think it will work and it won't cause any problems to my petition?
What other options do I have ?
Thanks in advance!
You could argue that you don't need to have a job now, just that you need to be in a "same or similar"position when the 485 is approved. if your priority date is very backlogged, you have lots of time to find a job.

Hi Everyone,
I am relatively new to this forum and for the first time, I attended the conf last night and happy to see many people coming forward and discussing the immigration issues. I learned a lot about what IV is trying to do and would like to help IV any possible way by spreading the word.
As discussed last night, I will print out of the flyers and put them inlocal grocery stores and temples.
Best of luck to everyone.

Where is the best place to learn Peoplesoft ? What is future scope of Peoplesoft ? Also where is a good place to learn SAP or Oracle Financials ?
Do local Univ or Community colleges - Computer Science or MIS departments offter these classes ? Does one need to learn C to learn these applications ?
My only prior programming experience is in Basic and Fortran languages eons ago.
A lot of Indian consulting companies offer training prior to marketing yoour resume. Check them out, some medium size ones, big ones have purchased training licences and fulltime trainers in ERP packages like Oracle Finaicials, Peoplesoft, Siebel etc... Though all these are now owned by Oracle.
A good way to enter IT as you have an MBA is try to get into Data warehousing. This woouldd involve a lot of Oracle traning and there are a lot of companies who give beefore they place you on projects. But remember that once you go through consulting companies, andd based on the fact they trained you and placed you, they will pay you a average deceent salary butwill charge the cllient tons of money and client would expect you to work for whhat he gives

[QUOTE=h1techSlave;174221]"Aligning with illegals will be benefitial to us." That was the philosophy that we have been following all along. The result - you talk to an average American and he thinks we are illegals. You talk to lawmakers (IV's lawmaker meeting attendees can confirm this) and the lawmakers think we are illegals. That is why we may have start thinking of another strategy.
[QUOTE]
So what??? You tell them you are not, and you go on talking about what you would like to have done. Then you talk to the undocumented lobby and get their support for your bills, then they contact their sponsor Senators. I see absolutely nothing detrimental to the cause of IV that some people think you are illegal - on the contrary I see a lot of positive in it, since all of a sudden you have a story to tell.

If this is not like a "third world" goverrnment/municipality office, then what is?
I think we all might just have to form groups of 10 people each and file group WOMs replete with reimbursement of attorney expenses.
Edit. Latest ..on my case.(with a little history) and this is hilarious.
8/21/2008 : Talk with the California Service Center (hopefully)
Me: My case has been transferred all of a sudden to California with the PD became current (on july 21, 2008), why ?
Answer: Your case has been sent back to TSC on Aug. 15th. We do not have the case any more. You can call TSC to confirm.
8/22/2008: Talk with Customer Service
Customer Service: Your case is still in California.
9/2/2008 : Info pass appointment. Talk with IO
IO: Your case is still in TSC but will be transferred to CSC soon.
I cannot believe such an organization exists in the world.

Thanks for your post - it was just what I was looking for. I have a couple of more questions.
Were you able to receive a multiple entry H1B visa?
When did you get this stamping done for H1B revalidation (did you make this trip to Halifax recently?)?
I am asking this, as the wait time to receive the visa may have changed, and I am trying to find out if I would be able to receive mine the following day after the interview at Halifax. You received your visa the following day, but the amcits website currently states: Effective Immediately... All consular posts must electronically confirm all Non-Immigrant Visa petitions petitions prior to visa issuance. This will affect applicants for H, L, O and P visas. This process may take an additional 2 to 3 workdays, creating a minimum 4 workday turnaround for such applicants. This confirmation is beyond our control and cannot be waived. Any petition based, otherwise qualified NIV applicant should be prepared to wait 4 workdays in Canada to receive his or her visaed passport.
Thanks

Thanks guys. Thanks a lot for all these information.
So for Consular processing I need to go back to my country and get it done through the Embassy right? What are the chances of getting denied? Also, what are the chances of getting your labor and I140 denied? If GOD forbid, it got denied, will my EAD still be valid and my EB3 application still be in the place? will it jeopardize my EB3 application?
Thanks.

Well...my PD is current and my RD at Nebraska is also current as per thier processing times. But still no LUDs or any other updates so far :( (its been 19 days since my PD became current)
I already spoke to USCIS IO one week back, and was told its a bit too early, and wait for 45 days and call back if nothing happens until then. They weren't willing to give me the status whether my Namecheck crossed 180 days.
Just going to wait until April 1, and then call them again. Or get an INFOPASS . What do the gurus suggest?
[EB3 - I , PD May 2001, RD July 30 07, Nebraska ]
Its unfortunate that you have a very recent RD. I talked to an IO at NSC yesterday and i was told that they will process the case based on the order they recieved. So they go by RD. If this is true then i guess you will have to wait some more time. Because thousands of people applied I-485 between June first to July 30.

Guys,
Don't create new thred for every single question you have.. You can find right thred and put it there..
Yes you can file for 485 even though your H1B extension is pending.
Lets use this thread for I485 and H1 Ext queries. Anil can you change the title to look like this "All I485 and H1 Ext Issues related postings here".
I also have a similar question. I've to file for 3 yr H1 ext on basis of approved I-140. Immigration-law.com says that there could be an issue with that:-
*************************************************
It is uncertain how this visa number change will affect the pending H-1B extension petitions beyond six years under 104(c) based on the approved I-140 petition. There is some chance that it may be denied. Additionally, those who need H-1B extension beyond six years and are not eligible for one-year increment extention because 360 days have not passed since the filing of labor certification or I-140 petition (labor certification waiver cases) will face a problem in extending the H-1B status. They should, however, take advantage of 245(K) benefit that makes I-485 eligible inasmuch as the unauthorized employment or unalwful status did not last more than 180 days since the latest admission to the United States. Those who can file the I-485 timely under 245(K) should cease.

Can someone has done this earlier and can put their experience in. Please.

Yes I always thought DV lottery was a scam which does nothing to increase diversity.
Yearly 50,000 lottery winners without any skill requirements get a GC, Also only about 50,000 high skilled immigrants with their family get a GC.
great so these two are equally important, lottery and high skills.
Of course maybe EB2 and EB3 got their degrees and US jobs by luck and gambling without any skills.
Life is also always about both skills and luck
so it makes sense there should be a 50,000 Green card lottery too.
looks like a tough road for this Bill.
PS: 1 EB immigrant = 2.25 visas

Meridiani.planum.... Thanks for your reply....
Is the GC under EB-2 that quick? I wonder why my attorney didn't try to FIT me on EB-2... I'll definitely research my 'fitting' options as an EB-2.... now, do you know if are there hidden issues on getting a GC as an EB-2 rather than an EB-3? Or, Is a GC the same regardless the employment-based category?
Attorneys prefer EB3, since there is less evidence needs to be submitted, less scrutiny, less risk of RFE or denial, and therefore less work for the attorney.
"Is GC same..." - philosophical question.. I guess not :) I guess GC for someone who waited for 10 years is not the same as for someone who got it first year being in the US.
