Skilled = anyone having skills to remain employed (or provide healthy contribution to the economy) at that point of time
So this can be a cook, dancer, painter or a programmer - if the society or economy needs one. Tomorrow, if my programmer skills are no longer required for this economy and country then I can be categorized unskilled labor too.
I am sorry if I look biased. I have no such intentions as I made clear in my first post itself. All my intentions of discussion are based on the definition given above for the word "skilled".

How does USCIS know about salary ? I understand that if they send rfe, we need to send the w-2 but does IRS also send the w2 information to USCIS? The other question is whats the criteria of judging the salary? Is it w-2 or pay stub ? My pay stub has been showing the correct salary but w-2 does not reflect that much since I was out of the work for quite sometime.
I MAY switch my job and this is an emergency.
Please pardon the relevancy.
Thanks

Actually it is the G28 form that you sign to give authorization for your lawyer to represent you. It is valid just the one time when they file the forms and not considered as for your life of your form/application.
This means, that in future all the corresponsence related to the form in case of I-485 will be forwarded to you aswell as your lawer/company immigration dept by USCIS. For example, if USCIS sends a FP notice, that both of you guys (You and Company lawer) will receive the copy.

Does anyone know when these fees might become effective? Is it 120 days after February 1st or is it at the start of FY2008 (October 2007)?

We are employee of employers - not chained slaves of employers.
They can pay me less , they can scare me of revoking 140 , they can make me sign fictitious bonds for getting future employment letter BUT they can not take away my basic civil rights as a human being. As long as you professionally inform that will be taking day off for personal reasons - they are NOT supposed to ask what is that reason. You can tell the later unofficially that you attending Rally for peacefully supporting a good cause.
Nothing will happen to you
Just follow your heart - Will se you in DC

Hi guys, I am trying to understand this whole process and was wondering if you could help me out.
I'm a CPA working for a Big4 in the US for h1-B. I have 2 years of experiences (1 with the same company). I am not from Europe. I have the following 2 questions:
1. What can I expect in terms of waiting for a GC if my employer were to file today? It's a huge firm and submits many GC sponsorship requests per year. I belieave 700 were submitted in 2009.
2. Would my CPA/Lvl 2 CFA Certification as well as my membership in professional organizations and performance bonuses (highlighting exceptional ability) bump me up to EB2 if EB3 is not current?
Thank you for your input.
Even if u are born in Europe the EB-3 priority date of India and Europe are equal/same. EB-3 no longer depend upon your place of Birth.

Hi Guys,
I just renewed my H1B last month. I used the services of Andrew Dutton. He is excellent and very reasonable. He is also very accessible by email and phone.
His H1B+H4 renewal legal fees were only $550.
His email is immigration_counselor@yahoo.com. Try his services, I am confident you will be satisfied.
Sincerely,
Paras Dave

there is no need for pro-immigrant senator to respond becoz as soon as they respond..... it will increase the visibility and importance of grassley..... many a times in politics, the purpose of putting out provocative statement is to provoke a response..... to that effect, no response is the best response.... it is better for california director to respond & fight with a sitting senator, which de-values grassley's perceived seniority.....
That means let Immigrants suffer in hell. with this ignorant guy's letters, and inturn USCIS responds and issues a dump memo on that letter again, and the suffering becomes more and more day by day. Is the republicans have majority or Democrats I have doubts about that. This bipartisan is a key word to do nothing and enjoy all the benefits of being the ruling side. There is no seniority issue here. These senators are weeds who make immigrants life miserable.

Unless you use AP to travel outside, you can work on EAD and status of H4 is not going to be affected..So dont fear, just pose the question to lawyer in immigration-law.com. Or else you can search in the advanced q/a in that website u may find answer..

USCIS has always been unpredictable. Stupid USCIS approved Mohammed Atta's VISA extension after he shoved the whole airplane in World Trade Tower. So all of us know, what USCIS is capable of doing. I would go to an extent that you can even remain unemployed after 180 days of I-485. You do not even have the burden to be employed all the time.
Once again....I am talking about what law says.
USCIS is recently rejecting strait forward EAD/AC21 cases...and u think if they RFE all ur paystubs and see a period of McDonald's employment...they will not deny the 485....
U will be lucky if they dont!!!!
With a weak economy ...and layoffs..bias against would be immigrants is going to be even more pronounced...Hard times are ahead...

Damn.. with this fear of what might happen to our I485s, it becomes almost natural to everyone not to use their EAD and maintain their H1 status. It sucks not to be able to enjoy the benefits even when we have it!! or am I overreacting? :)

My case is not complicated (i believe) but transfered from Texas to Vermont.
May be not many adjudicators over there who can handle 485's or lot of workload.

Family of three.
It maybe a case of load balancing between service centers, but sending to Vermont is odd after they started bi-specialization. Generally I have heard between Texas or Nebraska and in some cases to Local offices. Did the transfer notice say... we are transferring to speed up your case....?

Please make sure you understand and read all the rules before coming to any conclusion. The rule is that only H-1b renewals who had atleast one stamping in their home country are allowed for renewal stamping in Tijuana. I had two previous stamping done at India for my H-1B and this is my renewal, so I am okay.

no it is SUSTAIN act. Not Strive. SUSTAIN only has H1 visa increase... So it will ensure that retrogression and backlogs are sustained... :)

It depends on what is being asked for. Try to tell your employer that you might need an EVL (Employer Verification letter) that basically puts your start date, responsibilities and has HR Contact information.
Make sure you keep the paystubs of your previous employer through the 180 days of your 485 app pending. Get a releiving letter and try to be on good terms with your ex. It helps.
