India Benefits from Software Expertise, United States Does Not
Employer: A software development firm
Location: Austin, TX
Employee/Position: Nilesh Khare (India)/Engineer
Project(s): Nilesh Khare works for an Austin, Texas-based software development firm and came to the United States from India with his family six years ago on an employer-sponsored H-1B visa.
Issue: In 2002, Mr. Khare applied for an employment-based green card and is awaiting a response, nearly four years later. Mr. Khare�s wife, Ashwini, is a highly educated environmental engineer, but because her husband does not have a green card, she cannot work as an H-1B dependent.
Consequences: The Khares say that if Nilesh does not receive a green card soon, they will look to employment opportunities in India or another country with a more efficient and inclusive visa system where his wife may seek employment.

Europe Gains in Software Development, United States Does Not
Employer: MusicStrands Inc.
Location: Corvallis, OR
Employee/Position: Unnamed/Software engineers (2)
Project(s): The small business develops software designed to monitor and track the listening and viewing habits of consumers who use portable devices, including iPods, MP3 players and other technologies.
Issue: In an industry with very few experts, the company cannot afford to lose some of the best employees in the business to foreign competition.
Consequences: However, because of the H-1B visa shortage, MusicStrands nearly lost two highly coveted technology engineers to their European competition.

Scientific Research Gain for India, Not the United States
Employer: Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA)
Location: Fort Collins, CO
Employee/Position: Dr. Manajit Sengupta (India)/Atmospheric researcher
Project(s): At the institute, Dr. Sengupta and a team of researchers are developing a weather satellite that will allow meteorologists and other scientists to monitor natural disasters and related events through satellite imagery in real time. The technology is coined the Geostationary Operational Environment Satellite (GOES-R) and is scheduled to launch in 2012. Dr. Sengupta also works under contract with the U.S. Department of Defense on research aimed at finding ways to predict cloud formation. This capability could potentially help the military plan and execute missions over distant battlefields, which are generally aborted when there are overcast skies.
Issue: Though Dr. Sengupta is instrumental to the research being conducted to develop and enhance GOES-R and is central to the Defense project, he is currently in the United States on a temporary visa.
Consequences: As Dr. Sengupta has little hope of transitioning from his nonimmigrant (temporary) status to a green card due to years of backlogs, it will be difficult for U.S. employers to retain him here in America, especially if he chooses to return to his native India or another nation stepping up its efforts to attract such talent.

Philippines Gains Civil Engineer, Who Worked in the United States
Employer: A real estate development firm
Location: Irvine, CA
Employee/Position: Unnamed (Philippines)/Civil engineer; Real estate surveyor
Project(s): A 41-year-old Filipino man who left the southern Philippines for California in 1998 to take a job as a civil engineer now faces the prospects of having to return to his homeland after spending roughly eight years here in the United States. Armed with two college degrees from a Philippine university, he has been a highly educated asset to different California-based companies for the past eight years. He currently works as a surveyor for an Irvine, California real estate development firm.
Issue: Though he is here on an H-1B visa, if his green card case does not complete processing soon, after being stuck in the backlog for many years, he likely will choose to leave his current job and seek employment abroad in the Philippines when his visa expires this August.
Consequences: While H-1B visa extensions do not count against the H-1B cap, it is costly and time consuming to continue to extend an H-1B visa waiting for an EB green card to complete its processing; not to mention it is difficult for this employee to ever be promoted to another position in the company while he waits for a green card.

India Gains in Technology, Not the United States
Employer: Cyber Fuse Technologies
Location: Bucks County, PA
Employee/Position: Nozer Damania (India)/Technologist
Project(s): The firm hired Mr. Damania in 2003, and at that time, the company started the process to secure an employer-based green card. Currently, he is still waiting to enter the final phase of the process, and the federal government this month began considering applications from Indian applicants who cleared the initial phases of the process in 2001.
Issue: As a highly skilled software developer, Mr. Damania has the option to leave the United States and his current employer to seek employment outside the states. His wife, Meenaish, who is an MBA-educated banker, resorts to volunteering at the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection because she cannot seek employment until her husband receives a green card.
Consequences: If Mr. Damania does not receive a green card soon, he will be better off to leave the United States and take the couple�s skills to another country.

Software Technology Advances for India, Not the United States
Employer: Florida State University
Location: Tallahassee, FL
Employee/Position: Aman Kapoor (India)/Software technician
Project(s): Mr. Kapoor, an Oracle software technician at Florida State University, came to the United States a few years ago on a high-tech worker H-1B visa.
Issue: He applied for a green card more than two years ago, and his application is still pending. Though he remains hopeful that he will be able to keep his job and secure a green card, recently one of Mr. Kapoor�s childhood friends from India chose to leave the United States, no longer being able to wait for the backlogged green card system to grant him resident status.
Consequences: Mr. Kapoor may also choose to leave the United States and put his skills to use in his native India or another country where such talent is welcome.

India Makes Advances in Electrical Engineering, The United States� Loss
Employer: A power generation equipment company
Location: Minneapolis, MN
Employee/Position: Vivek Malapati (India)/Electrical engineer; product manager
Project(s): Various projects
Issue: Vivek Malapati, a native of India, is a highly educated product manager at a Minneapolis power equipment company. Mr. Malapati is twice graduated from the University of Utah, with a bachelor�s degree in electrical engineering and a master�s in business. He is currently here in the United States on an OPT visa while his employer attempts to secure an H-1B visa.
Consequences: Unfortunately, as there are no H-1B visas available in 2007, Mr. Malapati may choose to relocate to another country where he can secure residency in a timely manner.

Philippines Retains Its Skilled Math and Science Teachers Over Choice to Go to the United States
Employer: Globe Unified School District
Location: Globe, AZ
Employee/Position: New math and science teachers
Project(s): Currently, the district has more than 70 open positions for administrators and classroom instructors and, among the openings, are vacancies for roughly a dozen math and science teachers. As the gap widens between the number of U.S. and foreign students graduating with degrees in science, technology, engineering and math, Globe Superintendent of Schools Dr. Timothy Trent announced that he and another member of the school board would head to the Philippines in May for math and science teacher recruitment. District administrators are hopeful that the school system will be able to secure H-1B or J-1 visas to bring teachers from the Philippines here to the United States
Issue: Though Dr. Trent explained that the Philippines was chosen because other state school systems have recruited high-quality instructors from the country, their efforts will likely be hampered because of the current H-1B cap exhaustion.
Consequences: As the H-1B visa cap has already been reached for FY 2007, it will be difficult to bring the Filipino instructors to the country to work in Globe, AZ schools in the coming year.

A lot has been discussed here about porting PD to a new job after getting I140 approved but before filing I485. In theory it's easy to understand and looks quite doable. It would be interesting to hear from some one who's actually gone through this process and WAS/WASN'T successful in retaining the earlier PD. This will help to know about potential road block(s) to the process.
Mean while my lawyer thinks its a highly risky move (Her argument is that DOL approves it only if the new job falls in the same classification, in the same geographical area and with closely matching job description, which I think is too stringent !?). Is my lawyer an exception or is the story same elsewhere too?
Here is a good thread about it http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=912

Why we should ban everyone who speaks against the point of view of the majority? Dont we have tolerance?
Come on guys..he is just expressing his point of view, he did not throw any racial slurs or derogatory remarks like the ones we see in the comments on immigration articles.
There is some truth in what he says..I agree and know people are brought here on L1 on very low wages and stay here for ~6mos
Besides Greenspan justified the opening of market to foreign professionals is to flatten the wages and reduce the gap between rich and poor in his recent congress testimony.
What would businesses prefer if they have someone willing to work for lower pay?? Its basic economic principle of demand vs supply. Flood the market with skilled professionals, demand goes down.
All in the name of shortage of skilled labor...there is no such thing as shortage of skilled labor..there is only shortage of skilled cheap labor...and businesses and lobby groups will go to any extent to keep it that way
You may not be getting salary any lower than the US Citizen now..but once there are three people like you for the same job with same skills..what happens??
All I am saying is do not drive away views that do not agree with us 100%..have some tolerance. I support our cause and do my part trying to educate as many as I can regarding the real immigration and GC issue, some agree and some throw dirty remarks..but thats life move on..
If you want to teach tolerance and rights to express views I suggest you go to anti-immigrant forums run by anti immigrant organizations and talk about views from the perspective of immigrants.
You will be called names, abused ...... and if you complain you will be banned. Now take your first amendment rights to those sites.
This site is not for anti-immigrants. Period.

What info you needed.
The info I have mentioned is real denial made on January, and now filed appeal. USCIS send that appeal to AAO for review this month.
Degree in science (3 year) + 1 year B.ED in same field + M.S (same field) + experience for a scientist post.
Requirement is Masters.
They denied on 3 year degree thing.
First got RFE, replied with professor opinion ($500+) explained, and given examples of some US universities (list mentioned) have 5 year combined B.S + M.S programms etc....
PERM or anywhere not mentioned about the bachelors degree requirement.
Still they digged 3 year degree issue and denied.
So these days, they are strict and mad for 3 year degree.
If you want to see the denial letter, I can send to you, if you PM me. I have a copy.
Was that eb-2 or eb-3? Sounds like eb-2 denial to me.
EB-3 can be handled without degree. Read more about eb-3 skilled worker category for enlightenment.

Now i want to get the loan money back to US.

Also, do i have to show this on my US tax return.

I work with a large firm, filed my labor in 2002 from MD and I got it approved last month. Now I am working from OK state for the same employer doing the same job. I had to move to OK since my wife got a job out here. I checked with my HR/immigration dept about any issue with my GC process, they told me to maintain MD as my work address. I am doing the same, had no option, and my manager has issues with my working from a remote location since my team is all over the country...

If splitting 80/20 was the only thing desi consulting companies are doing, no one should be complaining. In all the 12 years that you have worked for didn't you notice that these same desi consulting companies did not pay people on benches, forced employees to fake resumes, flouted LCA rules?
Or did you just turn a blind eye for all the 12 years?
Your definition includes, IBM, SAP... you name it, any consulting company. They all place people in clients place and make lot of money. IT Projects work that way. I am not sure how much experience you have, but with over 12 years in this industry, I can tell you that is the way business works globally. So if IBM bills 150 per hour and gives you 80K per anum. You don't complain, but if a desi startup bills 80 per hour and works hard to give you 75K, you make all these stories?? I know lot of Citizens work with many layers to get their pie. Stop whining about all these. These are all people playing by rules and creating jobs.
PS. I don't own any consulting company.

I am not sure how much experience you have, but with over 12 years in this industry, I can tell you that is the way business works globally. So if IBM bills 150 per hour and gives you 80K per anum. You don't complain, but if a desi startup bills 80 per hour and works hard to give you 75K, you make all these stories?? I know lot of Citizens work with many layers to get their pie. Stop whining about all these. These are all people playing by rules and creating jobs.
PS. I don't own any consulting company.

Good luck with that... :)
The SJ rally in hot CA sun meant many folks turned up in shorts and jeans! Perhaps it reflects what "we Californians" think of "business casual" as.
jazz
people please remember this is washington dc. temperatures will be around 85 with humidity. Also remember that this is a rally, not a halloween parade.
just wear the tshirts IV is planning on making with jeans. white shirt with jeans is good enough attire.
Its a good Idea
But I would like to wear my IV T- Shirt
When illegals marched in LA they got a lot of flak for showing up with huge Mexican, Honduran and flags of other countries. Carry as many American flags as possible. Show that we love and appreciate this country and demonstrate that love and appreciation.
------------
Good ideas.
Guys it takes a couple of days for the T-shirts to arrive in the mail so order yours now and "wear the gear," show your support for IV.
Make DC rally your top priority, stand up and let your voice be heard. Its now or never. Atleast, that is the case for me.
Spread the word.

This may sound cliche....but if money is not an issue hire a knowledgeable lawyer in USA/your home country and ask them for an opinion. I think that's the best approach to take, that way you don't have to put up with people's opinions and crazy talks.
If you need a good lawyer in US, PM me I will suggest you a couple of good lawyers, yet charge reasonable $$s.

hi
Me and my family are traveling to India in Summer and coming back in July. We have our ADVANCE PAROLE with us. I have few questions in this regard
(1) What documents I need to Carry in Order to renter to US
(2) I am currently working in Second yr of my H-1b . I have no stamp yet. I Work for University in US. Is it wise to go FOR H-1B stamping or just coming back on AP and apply for EAD will be better. I might loose my current job after May -2008. So I might need to use H-1b or AC21 for job at that time.
(3) For texas how early we need to apply for EAD? And if We apply for EAD and in mean time we are out of country is there any potential problems?
thanks for your input
Note: I have signed up for monthly contribution and participate in IVs aggressive campaigns whenever it is hot.

Very good point. I think it does not hurt for IV to put this in their agenda.
CIR is getting closer attention now. We are all working hard for some legislation. Here, is my request for IV core to consider to include citizenship issues in CIR bill. We know that one has to wait 5 years after attaining LPR status (after 485 approval) to apply for naturalization.
In past days, immigrants come to US thro consular processing (no AOS in past) to become a permanent resident. Therefore, one has to wait 5 years to become a citizen. This period is necessary to check the character of a person before becoming a citizen. This same logic will not be good for long waiting applicants even for LPR. Most of us here in USA for more than 5 to 10 years. We have waited for labor certification since 2001, waited for 140 and now waiting for 485. We paid taxes, maintained legal status and good characters during last 5 to 10 years. It is unjustifiable for us to wait again another 5 years to become a citizen. In this current situation, one has to wait 10 to 15 years to become a citizen. It is a big wait. This wait is spoiling the high skilled immigrant�s career.
In this forum most of the members are in IT. For me, even having EAD or GC is not going to help much. I am not getting right job based on my education and skills and experience I gained in USA. With my skills, I can work in defense, and aerospace industries. Even if I have EAD or GC I may not get right job and most of the job requires security clearance or ITAR export license. It is very difficult for me to stay in right job and my skills are getting wasted.
Therefore, I request, IV to lobby to include some provision in CIR bill that address the naturalization issues for long waited applicants for GC. This may help all of us to get federal jobs too.
It will be great if they include such provison in CIR
�If any high skilled foreign worker legally entered or admitted to USA, continuously stayed in USA for more than five years, and maintained valid legal status during the stay and obtained Legal Permanent Resident status during that 5 years period, may eligible to file a naturalization to become a US citizen�

your friend has no claim whatsoever against the employer. As others have suggested, he does not have an employee-employer relationship. one of the first things you do when you land here is inform your employer and file for an SSN.
by coming into the country and staying without working on a H1 visa is as good as illegal stay and will be counted as such.
any false representation against the employer will involve not only DoL, but also USCIS. And one of the outcomes would be debarrment from entering the country. The de-bar would depend on the immigration judge, who in situations like this may give a permanent entry bar for your friend. in such case, he can never enter the country again in any kind of visa.
