Folks in Alipac are enjoying this news - they say such a thing is good for the country because Indians and Chinese won't come here anymore
They seem to be a bunch of chaotic confused folks and don't know what they want.

I have my first GC interview next month. I had a DUI few years back that I forgot to mention in the 485 app as I thought this was a traffic related offense. I want to know what are my options now? My lawyer suggests I file for some kind of waiver and suggests I take an attorney with me to the interview. She also asked me to get court certified copies of the conviction and that I completed all the required tasks assigned by the court.
Is this going to affect my GC in anyway? I need some guidance here.
You have a lot of work ahead of you, first thing .. you should
- get a consultation with a good lawyer who specializes in these kind of cases and discuss your options.
- you have only one month to prepare so you should be aggressive about collecting all the documentation required for the interview. sites like trackiit have some threads that talk about documentation needed for DUI related interviews
- A straight forward DUI without any accidents etc should be ok, I have seen posts where people with DUI's have gone for and cleared the interviews, but your case is different you have not mentioned the DUI in your application.

I think many doctors earned a lot of money during that period. The same thing happened with us with the INS Doctor. Though we had our TB skin tests done 3 months before, the doctor said "No that will not work, the requirement for INS is different" After that he said we need x-rays too, though our earlier reports were normal. But what to do, at that time all were in a hurry.

My company informed me today that, when spouse is added to the insurence, the insurence will start from day 1 of next month. My wife will be comming in the middle of month. How to cover this gap with insurence...?? Any suggestions...????
If you show them marriage certificate they should be able to backdate the dates of coverage. That is what happened in my case. Other option is to shop for private insurance for few days. You will pay premium. Get some cheaper insurance then you run risk of lot of loopholes in coverage. Get travel insurance from companies in India. There are plenty and you can find discussion on this forum. Check with pre existing condition clause with your insurance company even if the coverage starts from 1st.
Other option is to have your wife come after 1st of month or pray to God that she doesn't fall sick, just kidding.

Please take a look at page 249. If I understand it correctly, it mentions that the quota for EB1 goes from 28.6% of EB visas to 15%, EB2 goes from 28.6% to 15% and EB3 goes from 28.6% to 35%
That means they WILL create a new category of EB visas since they have to utilize these extra visas somewhere!
Am I reading it right?

I am sure many of you don't know about TANA organization ( www.tana.org ). TANA is held every 2 years in one of the major cities in US, and for 2009 TANA is scheduled to happen in Chicago.
"TANA IS GOING TO CELEBRATE 2009 CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO AT DONALD E STEPHENS CONVENTION CENTER, ROSEMONT FROM JULY 02, 2009 TO JULY 04, 2009. "
They usually get around 12,000 to 15,000 guest of Telugu speaking people. The point i would like to make is to increase the exposure of to IV, we need to put up a booth in TANA 2009. I have attended TANA organization committee meeting on Sunday, 29 2008 and have spoken to them about IV. TANA has several stage shows, booth for business , food stalls and much more. TANA Chicago org will be needing some help( not sure what at this time ). but if we can help them so that they give us some exposure in the TANA 2009. it will be really great.
Secondly, we can have our own booth which will cost some money we can get lot of publicity.
This is just a idea and a i think it is a win-win for both of us. Let me know what you guys think.
I have heard great things about TANA. I am not a member of TANA, but would love to be one. Coordination between TANA like Organizations and IV would be a great opportunity for both Organizations as they can help each other in many ways.

Hi a_yaja,
Thanks for you reply. Sorry i didn't post the entire paragraph from the memo. I have attached the USCIS Memo with this post. You can see the following paragraph on the page 17 of the Memo
My Inference from Memo:
When a cap-exempt employee files for concurrent application with cap subjected employer then the employee will be counted against the cap only if he stops the employment with cap-exempt employee. If the UCSIS finds that employee have not ceased from cap-exempt employer then UCSIS won't consider the petition against cap. In other words the concurrent petition will be approved but still the employee won't be counted toward cap.
Please let me know if i am wrong. Thanks
Below is the paragraph from the attached Memo
Requests for Changes in Employment or Concurrent Employment Requests
for Certain Cap-Exempt Aliens.
Any alien who ceases to be employed by an employer described in
paragraph (5)(A) shall, if employed as a nonimmigrant alien described in
section 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) of this title, who has not previously been counted
toward the numerical limitations contained in paragraph (1)(A), be counted
toward those limitations the first time the alien is employed by an employer
other than one described in paragraph (5). (Emphasis added.)
Documentary evidence, such as a current letter of employment or a recent pay
stub, should be provided in support of such a concurrent employment petition at
the time that it is filed with USCIS in order to confirm that the H-1B alien
beneficiary is still employed in a cap-exempt position.
At the time of filing of a concurrent employment H-1B petition that is subject to
the numerical limitation of 214(g)(1)(a):
� If the H-1B alien beneficiary has not �ceased� to be employed in a cap-
exempt position pursuant to INA �� 214(g)(5)(A) and (B), then he or she will
not be counted towards the cap.
If the H-1B alien beneficiary has �ceased� to be employed in a cap-exempt
position, then the alien will be subject to the H-1B numerical limitation, and
the concurrent employment petition may not be approved unless a cap
number is available to the alien beneficiary.
If USCIS determines that an H-1B alien beneficiary has ceased to be
employed in a cap-exempt position after a new cap-subject H-1B petition has
been approved on his or her behalf, USCIS will deny any subsequent cap-
subject H-1B petition filed on behalf of the H-1B alien beneficiary if no cap
numbers are available.

Even if he sue, all you may need to pay is the expenses (lets say, at the worst 10K ) according to ur contract.
if u find a new job with 10k hike, you can pay off this from first years salary ... remaining 3-4 year's(until ur GC) 10K is for you to keep :)
After 180 days (AC21), I want to change my employer. In the above scenario, can my present Employer sue me if I leave him? Please suggest�
Thanks in advance,

Hi-
My H1-B expires in August 2011. My I-94 was stamped only until May 20, 2011 because my passport was expiring early. Now I have a new passport.
In March 2011, I also applied for a renewal of my Advance Parole(AP) and EAD and they are still pending approval.
I am planning on travelling to Canada next week by road(through Detroit) to get my I-94 renewed. So If I travel to Canada, will my AP application be considered abandoned?
Also, can I just cross into Canada by road, wait for a couple of hours and come back into the US to get a new I-94. I know usually you don't surrender your I-94 when visiting Canada for less of 30 days.
I am hoping I would be able tell the Canadian/US immigration officer that I need a new I-94 and hopefully surrender my older I-94 and get a new one when coming back in. Please let me know if thats not possible and I need to fly to Canada to get a new I-94.
Thanks

It is puzzling that EB3 World didn't move a single day. Per my calculations, it should move three months in each month.
My calcuations were based upon that there are about 100,000 applicants (excluding Indian) between year 2001 and 2005. Currently, China Mexico Philippine's cut off date is the same as ROW. I just assumed that there are about 35,000 visas available for ROW including China, Mexico, and Philipine (the remaining 10,000 for India) per year. In this case, it should move by three months in each month.
I accept that there are lots of loop holes in my calculations as it didn't move a single day.
Does anyone have a rough idea how many non Indian applicants out there between year 2001 and 2005?
I think many of you can do more accurate calculations based upon more reliable sources. Please show me how.
Many people say uselessness of predictions but I think we can predict to certain extent.
There are two things that make calculations uncertain : One, there is no way to know how many people applied for GC. Remember, many workers are exempt from the H1-B quota (people working in hospitals, universities and other non-profit research institutes). Then there are other dual-intent categories like L1 with no cap on them.Even USCIS does not know how many cap-exempt visas it issued.
Second, there is the operation of those two black-holes, PBEC and DBEC. Nobody knows how many apps are in there, nor do we know how slow/fast they will/ have been operating.
But one point is increasingly clear : retrogression is NOT an India and China specific issue. so far all of EB3 is retrogressed. The day may not be too far when that virus spreads to EB2. The only long-term solution is to unitedly fight for legislative change.
