I am in the process of changing job. The new employer is saying that I can start working with them from the very next day, after they file H1B transfer application. ie I don't have to wait for the receipt. Is this true? They are asking me to give 2 weeks notice immediately so that by the time they file H1B, 2 weeks will get over, and I can start there immediately.
Please reply its kind of urgent for me.
Thanks.
It is always good to wait until you get the Receipt Notice..You never know what will happen..Dont take Chances with USCIS..

Hello,
My fiancee and I got married in India in May 2010 and have a marriage certificate. I came back in June 2010 to US and she stayed back in India. On August 8th 2010 my I-485 got approved. However we have not yet registered our marriage in US (however it is registered in India). Will this be a problem? Did we need to register our marriage in US prior to August 02 2010 for us to be able to file for her green card using derived status? Or is marriage registered in India fine.
I really really appreciate a response.

I also called the number 202-224-7703. The lady told me that, it is scheduled for hearing this fall and we can check on Website judiciary.senate.gov . She said, usually they post the date, 1 week before the hearing in the committee. She is also told that, she is going to pass on the message for hearing, to the senators.

I want to be more specific. I have a full time job. I'd like to setup a business LLC to get some contract works. For tax benefit, I can deduct some business cost with it.
On H1 you can setup business, invest in , take profits ,but you should not be on payroll ( in otherwords you cannot be an employee of your own company based on H1 status ).
Once you get your EAD ( IV's current indirect-primary objective ) , you can do work of your company and do those tax benifit tacktics .

Yes, most of the states are going to implement it. It is allready existing in P.A. and I know atleast 2 people who's friends picks/drops them to work. It's a shame, living in this country for 6 years and suddenly your DL is snatched away. Getting 3 years H1B extensions in all circumstances is on of our main agenda at iv.org please see our brochure in resources section. This will solve atleast some part of the problem.

Thank you for contacting me regarding the immigration debate in the
U.S. Senate. It was good to hear from you.
As you know, in the 109th Congress, the Senate considered changes to
immigration law. These efforts would affect more than just undocumented
workers here in the United States � it would affect every American in
one way or another.
I supported the bipartisan Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of
2006, S. 2611, when it was considered in the Senate during the 109th
Congress. This bill would have provided many new provisions for border
security and enforcement and to address legal and illegal immigration. The
legislation would have provided funding to reinforce hundreds of miles
of existing border fences and establish a �virtual fence� comprised
of cameras, sensors, automated aerial surveillance tools, and other
security measures. The bill would also have authorized funding for
additional Customs and Border Patrol agents to assist with security efforts,
and required employers to have a system to verify the required
documentation from potential workers. S. 2611 would have increased the number
of visas for high-skilled workers, including those who have earned an
advanced degree. Finally, the bill would not have allowed for amnesty,
but it would have provided a meaningful way to address the legal status
of undocumented workers who currently live in our country.
Under the Senate proposal, undocumented workers could have earned legal
status after completing all the requirements to begin to adjust their
legal status. These requirements include filing an application, payment
of all fines, fees, and back federal income taxes, and providing proof
of being physically present in the United States and being employed for
five years prior to the bill�s enactment. Undocumented workers must
then continue to show proof of employment and being present for at
least six years after the bill would have gone into effect. Individuals
must also demonstrate basic citizenship skills, pass security and law
enforcement requirements, and complete Selective Service registration
requirements.
As you may know, the comprehensive immigration bill passed the Senate
on a bipartisan vote with the support of the White House. The House of
Representatives passed another version of immigration reform that
emphasized enforcement only. Instead of meeting in conference to negotiate
differences in the respective bills, the House held a series of public
hearings around the country, and refused to meet with Senate
negotiators, and the 109th Congress ended without this issue being addressed.
I believe that we need a comprehensive approach to immigration reform.
Enforcement is important, and securing our borders is important. But
if we focus only on enforcement and border security, then we will only
have addressed part of the problem. Many of the current proposals are
unworkable and would ultimately cause more harm to our economy and our
country. Our immigration policy should also provide positive change for
the future of our country. We should make sure our actions reflect our
security, our economy, and the opportunity that America has offered for
generations of immigrants.
As we move forward to the 110th Congress, please know that I will keep
your thoughts in mind as Congress begins to work on immigration reform.
If you would like to know more about my work in the Senate, please

I am not an expert in law but we cannot "Force" the deparment of state to release numbers. However some numbers are already available for 2005 in usage stats.
If they waste numbers in 2006, then they may be recaptured and used in 2007 - ONLY IF - the comprehensive bill or the PACE act passes as both have recapture provision.
Doesnt the ombudsman report show all numbers even today? I thought they did.

In this scenario, you can apply for H1 extension with Company B using approved I140 of company A.
So hypothetically:
person has approved 140 from comp-A but moves to comp-B
A revokes the H-visa and 140.
The person can still extend for 3 years, through B using the approved 140 (from A).
This can continue till the day the persons PD becomes current?
It makes sence because once the 140 is approved and 485 is not yet applied for, there is essentially "no application pending" for this person on which they can issue and RFE, right?
However, when he tries to extend using the older (comp-A) 140, cant the CIS issue and RFE for evidence from comp A that they still intend to hire this person in future??

If you are a resident of Karnataka, TN, AP or Kerala, you need to schedule an appointment with Chennai consulate. With regards to PIMS, I guess consulates wll ask for this info. well in advance once you schedule the appointment. I got my VISA stamped from Chennai cosnulate during my visit in Feb and received my passport in 3 days. My wife who is in India now got her VISA stamped last month and the stamped passport was returned in 2 days. I don't think you need to worry too much about PIMS since the system is more streamlined now.

After receiving the flowers on July 10, Emilio Gonzales went to the library to study about Gandhi. He spent 2 whole nights reading the life history of the Mahatma. Finally the Mahatma appeared right before his eyes and made him realize the injustice inflicted by the July VB revision. The rest is history :D

Check with your lawyer. Extension beyond 6 yrs is not available if you are eligible to apply for I485. If you are not able to apply for 485 because of retrogression, you can extend your H1 beyond 6 yrs (of course, it doesnt apply to you).
This is not correct. you can apply for 1 year extensions if you have applied for 485 and is pending.

I wondered what the first would look like if the background (horizon) were hidden. Then you did exactly that in the second one. I think I like it better when you can see more of the background. Without that, I found myself wondering what the fence was hiding. I thought more about what wasn't there than about what was.
The third is my favorite with a nice blend of colors as a backdrop for a story of numerous dead parts that used to be a functional whole.
I found the green grass distracting in the last image. After thinking about it for a while, I decided it was a story of a structure at the end of its life. The green grass seemed out of place because it was too alive and too close. Similar comment on the white (ceramic?). Everything else is worn, faded, rusted. Not sure if that makes sense. But the only life in the picture is way out on the horizon, far removed from this remote graveyard.
I like the setting. It reminds me of chasing pheasants in Iowa.

So I have sent them 2 applications
one for my daughter (add OCI to new passport) and one for my son (get new PIO)
All have same documents and so have sent proof of address for both the applications.
My son's got flagged for missing proof of address and so sent them the DL copy (mine, do not have wife's will try sending them the AP as you folks have mentioned, thanks !)
Intrestingly my daughter's got flagged for missing photo copies and have been charged $20 for 10 pages :mad: which by the way I am sure I had sent to them...
and now they are saying I have not sent the old passport that has the U visa.
Now this is a new requirement and was not there previously , before they were asking only for copy of old visa. I have a print out of the requirements from the day I filed.
Apparently, the indian consualte keeps chaing requirements every day is what I was told over the phone.
and reaching them seems to be a very painful wait :( 30 minutes to 1 hour at the least
So far I must say I am not impressed with thier service...but anyways why will they care
just venting out !!

I don't think it's anything to do with pdf writer. If he is asking about forms like I-485, G-325 A etc..those have pdf security enable and wont allow you to save it. Whereas if you try I-693 form (for medical), that will allow you to save the form even if you do not have pdf writer.

US start-up visa bill to boost entrepreneurship - Yahoo! India Finance (http://in.finance.yahoo.com/news/US-start-visa-bill-boost-ians-3069398975.html)
===========================
Washington, March 15 (IANS) Two senior senators have introduced a bipartisan legislation aimed at slowing down the outflow of skilled talent and boost entrepreneurship in the US 'to drive job creation and increase America's global competitiveness'.
Introduced Monday by John Kerry, Democratic chairman, and Richard Lugar, top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the bill adds provisions to last year's draft Startup Visa Act to allow foreign students in US universities and workers on H-1B visas to start companies in the US.
The StartUp Visa Act of 2011 will allow an immigrant entrepreneur to receive a two year visa if he or she can show that a qualified US investor is willing to invest in the immigrant's startup venture.
Under the updated version, the pool of eligible immigrants would now also include holders of H-1B visas and entrepreneurs living outside the US with a market presence in the country.
The new legislation provides visas to the following groups under certain conditions:
First: Entrepreneurs living outside the US - if a US investor agrees to financially sponsor their entrepreneurial venture with a minimum investment of $100,000.
Two years later, the startup must have created five new American jobs and either have raised over $500,000 in financing or be generating more than $500,000 in yearly revenue.
Second: Workers on an H-1B visa, or graduates from US universities in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or computer science - if they have an annual income of at least $30,000 or assets of at least $60,000 and have had a US investor commit investment of at least $20,000 in their venture.
Two years later, the startup must have created three new American jobs and either have raised over $100,000 in financing or be generating more than $100,000 in yearly revenue.
Third: Foreign entrepreneurs whose business has generated at least $100,000 in sales from the US. Two years later, the startup must have created three new American jobs and either have raised over $100,000 in financing or be generating more than $100,000 in yearly revenue.
'Every job-creating American business started as an idea in the mind of an entrepreneur. We need to keep and bring more of those ideas to our shores where they can put Americans to work,' Kerry said.
'Global competition for talent and investment grows more intense daily and the United States must step up or be left behind,' he said.
'We want to establish a way for the smartest and most entrepreneurial individuals in the world to come to the United States and create jobs. Many are already here studying at our great universities,' said Lugar.
'Helping them stay to invest in their ideas and create jobs benefits all Americans.'
