H1B visa is meant to be for people with skills that are in shortage in the US. If any H4 feels that he/she should be able to work, he/she should get a H1B. I agree that it may be difficult for some H4s to find a sponsorer for H1B, because their skills are not in shortage in the US.
Some spouses may join their H1B counterparts in the US, with an expectation that they will eventually get the GC and will be able to work, no matter what their skill set is. This is a reasonable expectation. So, blame the retrogression.
I do not believe that H4s should ever be allowed to work. They just take away jobs of more skilled workers who are unable to get H1Bs and who are still in their home countries trying for one. Skill-less free riders!
Now, please don't bash me with counter arguments!! ;)
After making such a harsh statement as above,"I do not believe that H4s should ever be allowed to work", I wonder whether you have your spouse with you in the US. If yes, you are not compassionate about their situation.
The L2 visa people were able to get EAD, not only because their spouses had good influence, but also because they showed respect to their spouses , who compromised their career, to travel with them to the United States, while they were chasing the dream.
If you do not know the meaning of compromise, and mutual respect, there is no point in running a campaign like this for the welfare of immigrants.
How can you totally ignore the plights, of H4 people, and run a campaign like this for green card. I believe that it is pure selfishness if you do the same. I mean maybe you are not married, or may be you and your lucky spouse, may be the one who didnt have to fight for any H1B lottery while in H4 and to make the tough choice of being with your spouse or losing the career. If being lucky in your life is the reason of making such harsh comment, without even understanding others problem, then I just want to advice that luck is a very tricky thing, and may be you will also face issues in this foreign land for which you might not get any support.
Also, dnt just assume that just because you got your H1, you and your friends outside the US are smarter than the H4 people. Some of us also had an enviable career back home and which is respected through out the world, but made the compromise as we cared about the career of our spouses in the US.
Also I heard people saying in this thread, if H4 people are smart, get H1 and that is the rule and we cannot change it. What about the H1 Lottery? I thought this entire group is for bringing in postive reforms to the current law. If not why dnt we wait for GC for 10 years. That is the house rule and we need to follow it!
With people like you in this group, I feel dissappointed support this cause.

How about meeting all our local congressmen and lawmakers in the next few weeks??
Since one of our key issues is educating people about our plight, it would be good to meet some of our local senators/representatives and explain our side to them.
Many of them are equally clueless about the difference between green card backlogs and H1 B visa limits (my local rep for example), legal and illegal immigration etc.
So instead of holding a rally so close to this one, why not have a few more lobby days or meetings with our reps??
Incidentally I like the idea of sending doughnuts/pizzas to the media people specially CNN...:) for obscuring our rally and misrepresenting it as "Amnesty demands"...:rolleyes:

I got 2 positive responses from orkut members in DC.
One said Oh ok, I will.. so this person didn't even know about it until after seeing the scrap.
Yes I posted scraps on individual members' scrapbooks, not just community posts.
I suggest if you are on orkut, scrap any and every one in DC communities, if a lot of people ask them to come, they will know how important it is!!

Dude, I have to tell you the same, do not give misleading information. you need to have a full time position for H1B. there is a minimum number of hours per week that you specify on your Labor condition. 2 part time doesn't cut it. As I have mentioned before, you may have multiple sponsors but one of the sponsors should be primary and you work full time with him or the minimum number of hours per week as per LC. other one could be part time. But there needs to be 2 separate independent I-129's filed by both employers for you to do this.
>> you need to have a full time position for H1B.
Incorrect. H-1B can be filed for part time position. Refer form I-129.
>> you may have multiple sponsors but one of the sponsors should be primary and you work full time with him
Incorrect again. There is no requirement to work full time with one of the Employers. Hours are determined by job offer and hence mentioned in LCA. But hours could be 12 hours for both Employer A as well as B.
Again, there is no requirement that one of the job must be full time.

A very surprising thing happened in our company today. Shocking it may seem, they laid off 5 employees in my department today without any notice. Today's happenings makes me want to gather as much info as possible in case something unexpected might happen.
I am a July 2nd filer of 140/485 concurrently. No I140 approval yet. Received AP and EAD for both me and my wife.
If I request my employer not to revoke I140, will I be able to use my EAD for my next job?
Can someone give suggestions on what other options I have if something terrible happens to me?
Thanks

I am so sorry that IV did not inform you about Donor forum. I will check with IV on why you were not notified earlier. This is clearly unacceptable. IV core should give up their jobs and should start going door to door to inform everyone about IV's goals, strategies and changes to policies.
In the mean time, please go through this:

Cool! More reds with these comments. Although you guys didn't make these comments openly, I would like to reply to you openly:
Red Comment No. 1: Learn to reply back with a cool head. Real, focused, communication in IV should be a marketing strategy for geting more donors...if that is not there...enjoy !
Neither am I IV's customer service, nor is IV core. All this guy needed to do was to search the forums and read through that thread that I pointed him to, and voila, he would have know what is IV's intention on the donor forum. He probably knew about it but just decided to throw some oil to the fire in this current thread. I agree with your reasoning on giving more focused replies but then that's what I'd keep doing all day because there are tons of folks roaming around here who have nothing better to do but criticize IV!
Red Comment No. 2: why the sarcasm, hes in the same boat as you
How is he in the same boat as me? I am on a boat called IV and I don't see him on that boat. You just wanted to give me a red dot but couldn't think of a solid reason, isn't it?

This is a very common problem. They are not following their own rules when it comes to 180 day rule of I-140 revocation. And I have heard AC21 letter almost never reaches your file. But because you have filed AC21 , you are in good shape. You have all the proof that you did send the AC21 letter and I-140 was revoked after 180 days.
So you will be able to open this case using MTR. Do not worry , you just need good lawyer to represent you.
Thanks buddy.

Seems like a downright slugfest on Fragomen going on! I haven't had the ability to get an immigration lawyer (my employer too didn't provide me with one) so I couldn't comment either way on Fragomen. But it seems Fragomen may just be selling franchises not unlike Subway or Dunkin Donuts. End of the day you just get to work with a franchisee using Fragomen's name. The flip side of this is that there is no standardized lawyer supply similar to raw material supplies Subway or similar franchisees get.
What I say above is in jest but it may quite be true!
Maybe we could operate Fragomen franchises once we get our green cards!

HP, Cisco, TCS, Deloitte, IBM, SAP, ORCL....I am going to add one more so called big firm BEARINGPOINT (formerly known as KPMG consulting).
I know that Fragomen specifically guides and runs the visa/GC related matters of Bearingpoint. They charge 10,000 dollars for a GC case and give clear cut instrucation to Bearingpoint that do not file GC till the very last moment. I left Bearingpoint (16000+ employees and offices in 43 countries...sounds great doesn't it?) because of my immigration issues caused by Fragomen. I joined a desi consulting company with 2 employess. This desi company manager took my GC file in his hand, drove to attorney office and asked him to file it ASAP. No waiting period, no nothing....
Big corporation + Fragomen is a deadly/toxic combination. Stay away from it if you can.

A meteorologist who spoke to the Associated Press said tropical thunderstorms in the Atlantic could tower up to 15,240m (50,000ft).
"At the altitude it was flying, it's possible that the Air France plane flew directly into the most charged part of the storm - the top," said Henry Margusity, senior meteorologist for AccuWeather.com.
from http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8078147.stm
why the heck do they fly over or into the storm??
Are the airlines risking people lives just to save cheap dollars??
It is unethical of AF to blame bad weather. You need to differentiate here - turbulence is okay, thunderstorms?? what the heck.. why would a commercial airlines fly into a thunderstorm
Commercial airlines fly between 25,000 ft and 40,000 ft. Airlines generally take risks for profits. I know it. Some airlines like United are ultra sensitive to turbulence. Some fly right through turbulence. And sometimes I feel some pilots are plain incompetent, they have no control over aircraft during the storm.
I have personally taken 500+ flights, almost 2 every week. And I can say, I get really nervous when turbulence or strong clouds are present. You are one second away from the big jolt or swing. A lot of times, it has been a roller coaster like ride. Now I would enjoy that once in a while. Sometimes I have seen big aircrafts like Boeing 757-300 series, flex, you see forward portion of aircraft going up and tail portion going down. But its required so that aircraft does not split up mid air. It can be a nasty thing for someone seated in the rear. Always always wear seat belt during turbulence, if it gets severe, you will hit the head on the ceiling. The turbulence during take off and landing is usually more risky as aircraft is closer to ground and can not afford to lose altitude. If it is at a higher altitude, aircraft can lose some altitude, due to "air pockets" and still be ok.

Thats good news. Hope it works. My feeling is that EB category will have more support in the Senate if they dont overdo the helpful provisions (read cap exempt etc..).
Fragomen Website talks about the bill and the amendment to the bill to reinstate most of the SKIL bill provisions. Perhaps, this amendment will be considered in the senate.
