I'm puzzled that there has been a slow reaction to the Bernie Sander's killer amendment that was disguised as a scholarship fund which has always been there and has benefited many Americans and the National Science Foundation. None of the faxes have been amended neither have the emails, we're asking for good things which are only likely to benefit a few but leave many others in peril. We need to find a way to cushion the effect of this amendment and at the same time highlight that the H1 program is not what it has been vilified to be.
Point is, if IV attains its goals on EB visas, there will still be many members affected by Bernie Sander's amendment. Of what use will visa number availability be to someone whose non H1-B dependent employer makes an economic decision to lay them off as they can longer afford to spend $250,000 a year + attorney fees renewing 50 H1-B's ? Given that this person would instantly be out of status (and find it difficult to find an employer rushing to spend $5k right away), the individual would have no recourse also given that they would not be eligible for a Z visa. Can someone help me understand why sticking to an old though good strategy and message without slightly adapting it to the current reality holds good promise for those in limbo by paying no attention to the effects of the Sander's amendment (pending at BEC, beyond 6th year renewal, I-140 not filed as of May 21st 2007 etc)
1. Any H1B issues affect employers more than the employees, so employers will make an issue out of any onerous requirement.
2. Any H1B fee is to be paid by the employer and is viewed as a tax and cost of doing business by the employer. Like any tax, it will mean cutbacks in other areas possibly existing charitable contributions to education or some such non essential cost.
I would expect Compete America and employers to speak up if they feel they would be affected by any H1B taxes.

I am sorry to hear that they lost your papers. The same thing happened to me when we were filing our 485 papers in '05. This was just before the EB -2 retrogression....we had to mail in all papers including medicals before sept 30th.
My lawyer sent all the papers but USCIS had a huge volume of applications come in before the pending retrogression and they lost my papers. We had the delivery confirmation, but they wouldnt accept the 485 papers, they only accepted the I-140 papers and I had to wait until the July fiasco to apply for AOS.
I would suggest that you fight and get them to accept the papers, in hindsight I feel I should've fought a little harder and pushed my attornies a little more to get justice. Oh well hindsight is always 20-20!
Goodluck!
Thanks, we are really going to give it a go. I'll fight as long and as hard as I have to. It sad to think that someone else could make a simple mistake that could result in my wife and I having to leave the country. We love it here. It's our home.
I will keep you all posted as to how it goes over the next couple of weeks.

You must be filing under (c)(9). That is AOS pending.
I feel that your current status is "Entered into USA using H1B Visa". I needed to e-file for my wife and mentioned "SPOUSE/CHILD OF H-1 THRU H-3" for that.
Since no one has answered your question, I am just providing information, what I have done. It may not be accurate. I hope no one puts "RED" marks for this. RED marks have become pretty common for providing any suggestion.

Hi All,
Could any please provide some insight about the companies "Unemployment Wage report" for the state of California?
This is the only query as stated in the 221(g) form got from Chennai embassy for your reference.
"State Unemployment Wage Reports, showing all wages paid to each employee in the state, for the past two quarters as filed to State of California (This should not be payroll reports, but the actual forms filed to the State authorities listing each employee and wages paid during the quarter.)"
Could you please provide me the exact form name and number to submit through the dropbox. Also some explanation if possible on how the form will look like in order to track it down?
Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Happy Holidays!
All the very best to all of you.
Thanks & Regards,
ChakYour company has to send you the documents.Ask your company.They know what those documents are.
Good Luck !!!

The devil is always in the details!
What is proposed for the 315,000 individuals in backlog centers? What happens to the 271,000+ cases in Retrogression? And, their families? They will all get their Green Cards with their Labor Cert, I guess!
While they are it, why does'nt the AFL-CIO also propose that the 2012 President of the USA HAS to be from amongst those who come from these numbers?
Do not mock us with these unenforceable and fantasy-filled proposals for now. Such red herrings can skew the whole legitimate debate about relief for hard-working, legal employment-based seekers of Permanent residency!
We would be all for it in principle - which EB-Visa seeker would deny a Green Card with the application itself! Something of this nature used to exist for doctors during the late Vietnam War years!
But, it has as much as chance of seeing the light of the day as the rest of AFL-CIO efforts - Democratic control of Congress and a Democratic Presidency! Heck, AFL-CIO could not even get Dick Gephardt thru half the Dem primaries with a decent show!

Thanks for this info.
Well,I was given Green Form 221 g from NEw Delhi Consulate wherein they asked me to submit: Unemplotment Wage reports, Project description, Notarised list of Employee and W2.
With regards to my personal info, they okayed it with my MBA degree and over 12 years experience behind.:cool:
BTW, this is my first attempt in getting H1B Visa and I have B1/B2 Visa for10 yrs as also visited USA twice and came back within a fortnight.
My background check is okay.
The problem is with the Employer!!
(1) Unemployment Wage Report: All employers who are liable for unemployment insurance (UI) must file a tax and wage report for each quarter they are in business. Active employers should receive a printed report by mail during the last week of each quarter. The report must be filed by the due date. Employers must report all wages paid to employees. Consulate will be in a position to determine the stablity of the employer based on quarterly reports, which will give detailed insight about how company is doing.
(2) Project Description: Consulate is interested in what you will be doing with the company once you land the USA. This is a free form letter issued in a company letter head addressing to Consulate (Delhi in your case).
(3) Notarised list of Employee: Consulate can verify whether the number of employees mentioned in your document is same or higher; this can be tied to (1).
(4) W2: Consulate will require annual tax return filed by employer to see how the company has performed in the last year and current state can be determined by (1)
In my opinion, (1) , (2) and (4) is mandatory and (3) information can be obtained from (1) - without which your visa will not be issued.
If your employer is not co-operative then I suggest you start looking for new employer.

What GLUS said is right but the problem is that it was lost 15 years back . There might not be computerized records from that time or if by luck there are they must be archived that there would be no way to retreive them.
Try harder to get any kind of records that you or your lawyer or anyone else in your family might have as additional proof.
And file for the documents as mentioned above . God knows you might get lucky !

You don't need to buy insurance. The State governments offer free insurance to people who need it. Atleast your family members would qualify for it.

That's really nice. Even I heard a lot of success stories like your's. That's the reason I started approaching non-profit organizations for volunteering. But in may case it is working the other way round. May be because I am in to IT.
But this episode brought my morale down a little bit because for the first time I felt that I am an alien here.
Anyway I may have to think twice before approaching for volunteering again.....

My PD is now current and i will be filing in May !
My attorney sent me package with all papers to sign and is requesting a letter of approval of my visa of 2001 which I do not have. I only have the approved Visa on the passport (Not the letter):confused. Does anyone know if this could be a problem? Why would they need the letter if we have the original approved Visa on the passport?
Thanks in advance and good luck to all who are still waiting.
:confused:
this will be approval notice of your H1-B or H1-B extension. Ask your lawyer again what letter he is talking about.

Dear IV members,
I am responsible for collating questions from members and sending them to our immigration attorney. Please follow the process outlined in the following thread:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1267
- At this time, we do NOT have enough questions to justify a conference call
- On the average, we require at least 20-25 "non-frivolous" questions to be able to justify our attorney's precious time (Please refer to the USCIS definition of the verbage "non-frivolous")
- We have had internal discussions on whether the frequency of the calls needs to be changed from bi-weekly(fortnightly) to monthly at this time.
Next Steps:
- Please keep sending in your questions to legal_advise@immigrationvoice.org
- Also see the thread http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/search.php?searchid=24014 wherein, periodic reminders have been posted requesting members to send in questions. Please keep them coming in so that we can have the next conf. call
FAQs: I hope the following provides some transparency into the process:
Q. What happens when a question is sent in?
A. First level filtered non-frivolous questions are responded to with a unique Question ID that helps track the question through its lifecycle until closure. The questions are then compiled and sent to the attorney, who accepts/rejects questions based on relevance. Based on the critical mass, the next conference call date is determined. Setting up a conference call requires mobilization of several resources- dial in number, availability of a moderator, etc. After the call, the recording needs to be made available, and several volunteers work towards making the transcript available in a MS Word/Adobe PDF form. Considering our other work and social commitments, this process takes around 2 weeks at this time.
Q. How many lawyers are there to answer the questions? Can we have couple of more lawyers on our panel so that we can do this more often?
A. Sure, but we need more questions coming in. We need a critical mass of non-frivolous questions to be sent in. We have, in the past, requested members to send in questions via the "legal_advise@immigrationvoice.org" route instead of posting them on the forums.
Q. Who are the people doing all this work?
A. Coremember "logiclife" has been doing the co-ordination in the past but has been indisposed due to health and work reasons for the next several weeks. I ("sertasheep") have taken over the co-ordination of the question-compilation etc., overseen by waldenpond, stucklabor, vineet among several other IV volunteers during logiclife's hiatus.
- (I don't want to reveal other names here without knowledge of their IV handles, will do so shortly after I get their IV handles and/or permission)
- Vineet and/or waldenpond have been helping with the last couple of conf. call moderations due to availability and calendar conflicts.
Thanks

(I've been down with shingles for the past few days, but that shouldn't stop me from collating the questions- so, keep 'em coming, and await announcement of the next conf. call!!)

03-16 12:38 PM
I am confused stucklabor. I thought that labor decided ur job qualifications etc. I mean when i applied for my I-140 (i did not file concurrently btw). I was asked more info regarding my company and all of the company documents. I wasnt being sarcastic or anything i am just trying to understand what is going on.
Eb3_nepa, you should probably read the "Green Card process and problems" FAQ.
In addition, when in my post I said "you" I didn't mean you personally. It was a general "you". And that was an example, not directed at your situation personally since I have no idea about your situation.
In labor cert, the company only advertises for an American for the job that is being proposed to be given to the foreigner. It also does include the foreigner's resume to a certain degree, but in general, the foreign worker's qualifications only get examined at I140. So a labor cert could be filed that is very tailored so that the chances of an American being qualified for the job is 0.01%. Then the foreign worker has to prove that he/she is qualified for the job. I140 also is the stage where USCIS also satisfies itself that the job is a standard job, not a made up job that will exclude most Americans. So all this happens at the 140 stage. Meanwhile, someone who wants to file a 485 can do it concurrently and get EAD and AP. They can even file a second labor cert at their own time and do things the right way. So the possibilities of fraud exist. USCIS has to balance quick processing vs diligent processing.
So anyway, read the report. The report doesn't say anything about mismanagement or corruption at USCIS.
