The antis regularly trumpet the argument that we need to slash visa numbers to protect jobs for Americans looking for work. But if employers are seeking to slash payrolls and immigrants were a source for cheap labor, shouldn't we see visa applications increasing? The numbers tell a stark story - visa applications in key categories are plummeting. Eighteen months ago, H-1B applications for university educated workers were in such high demand that nearly 200,000 applications were received on the first day the annual allotment opened up. This past April, only 40,000 applications for the basic H-1B quota were received and...

Hello,
I recently received my Greencard. Will be getting married in a few months and wanted to find out the options available to sponsor my fiance. Fiance is a british citizen, does that help in any way? Also she is a qualified Doctor in the UK and is planning on taking USMLE part 1 & 2 prior to the wedding. Is it prudent to have her move to the US on an H1B instead?
Thanks

My wife works for a University on her CPT. The University received a prevailing wage for her for her H-1B from the state agency on December 31, 2009 and it is still valid.
1. So when the University files for the LCA, can they use the prevailing wage from the state agency or do they have to use I-CERT for prevailing wage (ETA Form 9141)? Can the University use any other source for prevailing wage?
2. How long it is taking now to get the LCA certified?
Thanks.

Hi,
My company filed for my GC in June'07. They goofed up and filed under EB-3 instead of EB-2. The company apologized and is ready to change my filing to EB-2. I am wondering whether this would be a good step? Following are my details.
- My PD is June07
- Labor is approved (in 1 week)
- I-140 approved
- My 6 yrs on H1 were completed in July09
- I have received 3 yr H1 ext
- Me & Spouse both have received EAD (I am not using my EAD card)
I am not tracking the progress of visa number availablilty, but I presume that EB-2 would anyday be better than EB-3.
Please advise whether chnaging to EB-2 would be a good idea?
rgds,

Hi,
What is the difference between "reject" and "deny" in USCIS terms? Is it that reject is even before the case is processed and when application is returned back immediately and "deny" is later when the case is looked into and then the aplicant is found ineligible for whatever reasons?
If this is indeed the case how much time does one have after getting an RN to submit additional evidence he/she may have missed initially but before the case is processed?
any ideas from the adjucators manual?

This evening, I watched a debate on television between a proponent and an opponent of comprehensive immigration reform (CIR). The proponent emphasized that we need CIR not for the benefit of the undocumented but because it would stimulate the American economy. The opponent said that this amounted to "open borders" and that our immigration system was already generous enough in the eyes of most Americans. After the debate, I got to thinking about how different this type of debate is from the daily travails of immigrants. In our complex immigration system, the problems are not necessarily black and white, but...

Just hours after the announcement that DHS will seek to rescind the controversial social security no-match rule, the Senate may consider an amendment to the DHS spending bill that has been introduced by Senator David Vitter (R-LA). Amendment 1375 would bar DHS from revoking the rule and require its implementation. The amendment language is as follows: Sec. 556. None of the amounts made available under this Act may be used to-- (1) amend, rewrite, or change the final rule requiring Federal Contractors to use E-Verify (promulgated on November 14, 2008); (2) further delay the implementation of the rule described in...

Are you allowed to work on H1b for your primary employer and EAD for your own LLC. My wife applied for 485 as a derivative applicant. She has her H1b valid until next year. When she resumed work last year after her pregnancy she submitted her EAD card to the employer's attorney. So far she was under the impression she is now working on EAD. Suddenly the attorney calls her and tells her that they are recommending and H1 extension.
Which is fine if it is possible but in the meantime she has started her own LLC which is likely to generate revenue soon. Is it valid for her to do so while resuming H1b status? Will it be construed that she is working for her own LLC using her EAD.
Thanks

Okay, so Lou Dobbs appears on Bill O'Reilly's show last night. And Dobbs appears the more rational one. It is amazing what a desire to get into politics will do to one's "uncompromising" standards. Watch it here:

I got my H1-B visa on June 29, 2005 , I came to india on Jan 2009 . From Jan 2009 till now I have been staying in India , bcoz I was taking care of my new born daughter, now she is grown up and now I am planning to start working in US. Right now I got my H4 visa .
I came to know from someone that H1-B filing for this year was over in Jan 2011, so if I need to file a new H1-b , I have to file now and I will be eligible to work after Oct 1 this year. Is it true ? Is it not possible that a company files for a new H1-B under premium processing and I start working after 2 weeks of filing ? I don't want to wait that long(Oct 1) to work , I have few oppurinities coming up where I may get selected.
I have stayed in india from Jan 2009 till APril 2011. Now I am on H4 visa in US. Can I get a extension of my previous H1-B visa filed on June 2005?
I want to work ASAP.

An early response is highly appreciated.

PBS launched a wonderful new series this evening entitled Faces of America which examines the family history of 12 notable figures in contemporary America. The figures profiled are diverse and include Dr. Mehmet Oz, Meryl Street, Kristi Yamaguchi, Malcolm Gladwell Stephen Colbert and Yo-Yo Ma. I was pleased to see Mike Nichols on the list. Nichols and his family fled Germany for the United States at the age of seven in 1939 just as the horrors of the Nazis were beginning to accelerate. He's always been a favorite of mine from his days as half of a comic duo with...

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if somebody could help me with a journal/professional association website that my job ad (senior web developer) could be posted.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Also I had a question about the employment.
When one graduates from University is he/she eligible to still work for the University while waiting for the OPT?
i.e. graduation date (dec 22) - opt start date (january 17th)

Hello ,
I recently changed my visa status from H4 to F1. I received my I-797 yestreday, and noticed that the I-94 attached with the I-797 has my birthdate printed wrong on it. I confirmed with my school, and they told me that there was a mistake in the I-539 application for change of status that I had filed, the birthdate was written wrong there. I also visited the local USCIS office and they told me they do not correct these errors and I need to send an application to the service center (california service center).
Please can anybody advice me as to what form do I have to fill, and how much time will this process take. I have got an oncampus job, in this case can I apply for a SSN with the I-797 with my birthdate mentioned wrong on I-94, my passport and my I-20 has the birthdate right. Also will there be any problem while my application to correct I94 is in process when I apply for my OPT since this is my Final semister in school
Please advice me I am really worried....
