They do have per country limits. But the none of those countries have used up the 7% allocated for those individual states before the the total number of visas ran out. In other words none of those countries had applicants to consume the full 7% but collectively used up the the total number of visas.
But in the case of the countries like India, china etc they have actually used up the total 7% of the visas per country.
hang on.. but they are...as retroed as the rest of them...ROW and philpines are both AUG 02 for EB3.... ROW EB3 has been retroed for months and months.
that doesnt make any sence to me.?
so the ROW countries have no per county limits??? then why are they retroed??????

I hope they have some kind of link with DOL. Because my approved labor case status changed from Certified to Data Review and back to Certified.
Anybody knows what they will do about the whole firm being audited.
Are they talking to DOL?

You go back to India and withdraw one year later when you have 0 US income. Anything below 15K income is not taxable. Your 401 (K) withdrawal is added to your income for taxes

Do you know who has successfully done this?
I understand the theory, but no one is willing to say for sure if this is indeed possible.

Is it possible to upgrade from EB3 to EB2, if person is working on EAD after AC21 is invoked and H1 is expired?
I believe it is possible if your company is willing to do it. Having said that, you would be better off asking this question to a qualified lawyer.

Ask yourself a question. If you were running a big business - whom would you prefer -- GC Employees or H1-B Employees.
What may be good for us may not be good for the other side.
Well depends on the job I want to get done. New Internatinal graduates come with less salary, more enthusiam, are hardworking and would go out of their way to get some work done.
In addition to that if I have a constant supply of H1Bs why would I want to spend more money on high salary & more perks if I can train newbies in 6 months.

4) Money is not a problem for them. Many of them are paid off the books and have never paid Income Tax, SS Tax etc. There are also very strong political organizations, PACs (Political Action Committees) supporting. There are many USCs/LPRs contributing to election campaigns on their behalf.
- We pay all taxes. There is no PAC supporting the cause of EB immigrants exclusively ( ImmigrantsList is a PAC that supports all immigration including "undocumented").
Even Workers in U.S. Illegally Pay Tax Man, By Miriam Jordan | WALL STREET JOURNAL, April 4, 2007
From Confiscating Contributions (http://www.nilc.org/immlawpolicy/CIR/socialsecurity_confcontrib_2007-05-01_iru.pdf) By JONATHAN BLAZER | Public Benefits Policy Attorney and JOSH BERNSTEIN | Director of Federal Policy, May 10, 2007
Peter Goss, Social Security’s Chief Actuary, has estimated that three quarters of undocumented immigrants pay payroll taxes. This generates $6 to $7 billion per year in Social Security tax revenue and $1.5 billion in Medicare taxes.
According to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, undocumented noncitizens paid almost $50 billion in federal taxes from 1996 to 2003. Recent reports from across the country indicate that during the 2007 tax season, record numbers of undocumented people filed tax returns.
As IRS Commissioner Mark Everson, a former immigration official, stated in testimony before Congress last year, “If someone is working without authorization in this country, he or she is not absolved of tax liability.” In a more recent speech to the National Press Club, Everson added, “We want your money whether you are here legally or not and whether you earned it legally or not.”

I am not sure whether it is my HR to be blamed or my corporate law firm TheChugh who has been handling my case, no one has bothered to convey my PERM status or even my case #. I feel frustrated when my HR doesn't respond about the status.
I understand that they must by flooded with application preparation but setting up a link for me to check the status shouldn't be very difficult.
I really hope that my PERM gets approved before 31st July so that I can file I-140 and I-485 concurrently.
Anyone else has experience to share about TheChugh law firm?
Do you work for HCL?

Just called.
The lady's voice lit up when I told her I was from San Antonio. She took down my information and zip code.
She told me that she has informed other callers to also ask people from Mr. Smit's district to call. That would be more effective.

My PD is Dec 2006. I got my EAD 15 days ago and the card is valid for 2 yrs. So the guy that approved my card doesn't believe Dec 2006 is a possibility this year!
You should be EB10 and not EB2! Some folks in this forum are really crazy!
There is no relationship between approval/duration of EAD and movement of PDs.
By the way, since India won all the previous encounters with Pak in world cups, India will win on Wednesday!

Just to clarify. You say that "a person with an MBA plus a 4 year bachelors from a US univ. will be exempt" but you don't really need the 4 year bachelors from a US university. The MBA from a U.S. university is enough to be exempt, even if your bachelor degree is from outside the U.S.
You are right. I typed it wrong. I really meant to say "4 years of bachelors from anywhere (which is equivalent to a US bachelors degree)". I was making the point about four years because some non-us bachelors degrees are 3 years, and they do not accept 3 years + masters as equivalent to US bachelors + masters as the number of years of schooling would be one year less.

140 reached NSC on July 11.
Receipt date is July 17, attorney says they got it today, July 24.
So for those at NSC who filed within a day or two of me, mght be better to hold off for a couple of days before filing 485 with the colored sheet which will probably add some delays in the mailroom

That sure seems interesting piyushpan. It sure seems to suggest so, but I would not be so sure as it does not say explicitly that you can apply if the priority dates are not current. What it means is that USCIS can not approve the petition, (if a petition has already been filed) unless a immigrant visa is available. Does it mean one can apply even if priority dates are not current ?? I am not so sure yet. But I hope you are right :)

: In this case, the only thing you actually "transfer" is ...yourself and nothing else. "
What about time you already spent on H1? With NEW H1 you do not get your time back Also You do not need approval to start working with new employer. There are many differences between new and transfer.

I agree... i dont think its wise to call USCIS about the VB fiasco... the operators are probably minimum wage paid and are reading off of a book/compter screen.. not the ppl who can make decisions.. if it werent the us govt, we would have calling up even lower paid workers in India/Philipines and hearing from them... instead of calling USCIS, please spread the word, create awareness in the political system, press and media..
What a bunch of morins we are. We are calling USCIS to find out if they are going to accept our applications that were sent on Jul 2nd 7 55 am and Jul 2nd 9 01 am will be accepted. Lord have some mercy on us and give us some brains to read the USCIS update. Damn it. The morons who answer the phone lines do not know jack about W T F is going on. Thats why you were being put on hold. Stop calling USCIS crazily.

I think the right way is for it to move laterally. If the govt wants 40,000 EB-1's it should get that number or atleast close to it. No point in some one in EB-1waiting for their GC when it filters down to a lower category. Also no point talking about why everything has to be equal. It is not, thats why they have set EB1,EB2 and EB3.Each requires a different skill set. People would not have raised this issue if this was an EB1-EB2 issue. Only because it is a EB2-EB3 issue there is so much outcry. If they have laterally used EB-1 if there was high demand in EB-1 no body would have raised the issue as they know what skills EB-1 needs. Now that it moved laterally in EB-2 some EB-3's who think they are as qualified as EB-2's is creating all this issue. Again you should have applied in EB2 than EB3 instead of raising questions on why EB2 moved forward.
Also its not like it is current or anything. EB-3 ROW is still better than EB2 India/China and for Christ's sake EB2 India was unavailable last 2 months......
