Everyone, please write to USCIS Ombudsman's office and complain about the issues we are having dealing with USCIS. Also, seek their assistance in having USCIS process our applications in a FIFO manner especially for the transferred cases. Also write to them about slow down in I-140 processing and requesting them to reinstate PP for I-140 petitions. Unless we write and put some presurre, things will not change. You can write about any of the issues you are facing with USCIS as they are available to assist us. I think its worth a shot for us folks.

Hi,
I have a situation and will appreciate thoughts on that. I was working in a company on H1B and my company got closed and Moved back to India after 2-3 months.
Now I found a new employer who has a project for me but want me to join in 1-2 weeks. SO I was wondering what options do I have?
Is it possible to apply for B1 for some time and come and simultaneously apply for H1 Transfer.
Please let me know. Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
Maya

Hi vvenkat007,
My wife has done BDS from India and is currently here in the US with me trying to get into a dental school.
http://nbdeforum.com is a good website to begin with for useful info.
First to come from India, he probably needs to apply for a Masters in Public Health or some degree like that to come to the US. Then, he has to take the National Board of Dental Examinations (NBDE Part I and/or Part II depending on school requirement) and ace them. Also, TOEFL exam ofcourse.
Then, he can apply to the 25 or so schools in the US that actually allow foriegn-trained dentists to get admitted into their 2nd or 3rd year (again depending on school) of DDS classes.
PM me if you have any questions. All the best to your brother!
Hi Friends,
My brother is finishing his BDS in India this year. I am planning to bring him to US for the studies in USA. Could you please help me on what he needs to do to enter here and are there any hurdles. I am new to USA too so don't know much about the ways so trying to find out. All I heard is unlike engineering its difficult to come for medical studies to USA.
Thank you for your help and support.

Hey guys,
I am new to all this completely. So please do help me out. I am sorry if it is a repost..
My Qualification:
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Eng
Masters Degree in Computer Science
Nationality: India
Experience: 6 months (don't have docs to prove it though now..)
I would like to file my GC under EB2.
As per my little internet knowledge, is it true that for base requirements under EB2 are - MS + 0 years exp (Please correct me if i am wrong here)
I know one has to also prove that the job requires a MS degree ?? How can a lawyer suffice that requirement ?? Does 1 have to specify all latest hi-fi technologies for that ??
Are the other requirements of applying under EB2 ??
So to apply under EB2 one should belong to O*Net� JobZone 5, since i am comp eng/software developer i belong to category of O*Net� JobZone 4.
So for applying EB2 under O*Net� JobZone 4, do i have to show some experience related to that field/job ?? (Really confused about this one)
So say for example, I would be applying under :
OES/SOC Title: Computer Software Engineers, Applications
Level 1 Wage: $30.42 hour - $63,274 year
Level 2 Wage: $37.60 hour - $78,208 year
Level 3 Wage: $44.79 hour - $93,163 year
Level 4 Wage: $51.97 hour - $108,098 year
GeoLevel: 1
15-1031.00 Computer Software Engineers, Applications
Develop, create, and modify general computer applications software or specialized utility programs. Analyze user needs and develop software solutions. Design software or customize software for client use with the aim of optimizing operational efficiency. May analyze and design databases within an application area, working individually or coordinating database development as part of a team.
O*Net� JobZone: 4
Education & Training Code: 5-Bachelor's degree
So when i apply under JobZone 4(looks like it is a Bachelors degree level zone) for EB2, what should be my minimum level of wage as per PWD?
I heard it should be a minimum of level 2, is it true ????????

Ah, the magical E-Verify solution. If we just required it for everything from getting a job to applying for any kind of government benefit and now qualifying for a mortgage, all would be right with America. In the mean time, innocent Americans are still getting caught in non-confirmation hell. For example, I'm trying to help a good friend who is a fourth generation American who inexplicably has been bounced in E-Verify. She has taken multiple trips to the Social Security Administration office and spent hours on the phone over the last several weeks trying to fix this glitch and yesterday...

I'm a july filer and planning on using AC21 to change employers,in this process I'm transfering H1-B,My passport will expire in a month however my
I-94 is valid till 2010. My question is do I need to have a new passport in hand before I transfer my H1??
PS: I've already applied for my new passport and expecting it any time.
Thanks in advance
Any ways you need to renew, so it is better that you have done it. Apply for H1 renewal after you receive the new passport. you might have to send the copies of your passport and if it was valid for less a moth, you might get rfe, so wait until you get new passport.
Good luck

Thank you for contacting me about the issue of immigration. I appreciate you sharing your views with me.
As you know, the United States Senate passed legislation earlier this year in response to the serious problems with our nation's immigration system. Debate on the comprehensive legislation dealt with a broad range of issues including our national security, border enforcement, guest worker programs, and the issue of immigrant workers in agriculture, seasonal jobs, and high-skilled positions. Our immigration system is broken, and I am well aware of the urgent need for reform and the impact on those trying to navigate this complicated bureaucracy. This legislation is now before the House of Representatives.
We need an effective immigration system that works for businesses and communities and that protects the basic rights of immigrants who are such an important part of our state economy and quality of life. In the end, I did not support this legislation because it failed to strike the proper balance between security, fairness and preserving Michigan jobs.
Thank you for contacting my office. I will keep your strong views in mind if the Senate considers this issue again. Please continue to keep me informed about issues that are important to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Debbie Stabenow
United States Senator
Above is what I received today in my mail.
I dont know what to do now. It seems that all our efforts are worthless. It seems that regardsless of what we do, the Senators have made up their minds about this bills. I think that anti immigration forces are way too stronger for us to tackle.......
I personally dont see any relief........

Hi,
I have been on h1 for 7 yrs in the US and i am leaving back to my home country (India) as it is expiring this month. I plan to come back and start working for my current company next yr.
Now can they Process my new H1 in April next yr(6 months from now) or they have to wait till OCT 2007 to process my new h1. I am afraid the next yr quota will be over if they have to wait till OCT.

Good to know i can file a new H1 based on 140 irrespective of who filed 140 and i am in H status or not. This way i don't need to be always tensed about a possible RFE on 485.
Hi Vikram -
Since your H-1B transfer petition is denied, you are not in H1 status anymore. However, I would suggest consider applying for 3 year H1 based on approved I-140 (and PD is not current). It does not matter who applied for that I-140.
There is a chance that USCIS may approve this H1 without I-94. In that case, you need to get new visa stamp and reenter into US to get back into H-1B status.
Good Luck.

Hi All,
I have a question. I have a Master's Degree and have 3 years of experience in my field (Civil Engineering) Now lets say for some reason I want to go back to India and come back after few years.
If the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill is passed, then my question to you guys is.....
WILL I BE ELIGIBLE TO FILE FOR GREEN CARD CONSULAR PROCESSING (BASED ON STEM DEGREE) FROM INDIA?
We are neither immigration lawyers nor USCIS officials. They are the only ones competant answer to such questions. Anyways, the bill mentions nothing about having "experience" in your field .. what is required is to be working in the US for the 3 years preceeding your I-485. Everything else is immaterial.
But now is not the time to be dreaming and counting unhatched chickens IMO.

I am an Indian citizen. I have an approved I-140 under National Interest Waiver with a PD of Aug 31, 2007. I am now a permanently employed scientist at a National Lab. I think I am now eligible for application under EB-1 Outstanding researcher category. Is it possible to apply for I-485 without another I-140? It will take quite some time to secure all the recommendation letters to apply for EB-1 (OR). I am wondering if I can bypass the whole process of I-140 and directly apply for adjustment of status based on my approved I-140 saving time and effort.
Thanks in advance for any answer.

I am assuming that you got 485 approval letter and it talks about ADIT.
I think there was a long and detailed reply by somebody on this forum about ADIT
Do some research and PLEASE put complete details in the post if you want a meaningful answer.
