There are still some new members who keep posting that the bill S 1348 looks very good and it has SKIL provisions etc, because they get pointed to the last year's bill.
If you go on thomas.loc.gov and find bill text for S. 1348 you see a bill that is a copy-paste version of LAST YEAR'S SENATE BILL S. 2611.
That text is last years text that was initially put in place as a place-holder BEFORE the grand compromise was reached.
After the grand bargin (compromise/coalition) was reached, the text of the grand compromise replaced the entire text of last year's bill (that has SKIL) was the next text.
Amendment # 1150 (S.A. 1150) Sponsored by Sen. Kennedy is a 400 page amendment that replaces the entire text that was intially in the bill with the new text. Its a "Substitute" amendment.
Read the S. A. 1150 text. Its also on IV homepage as PDF. That is the bill now. Here is the link to that

Hi,
I am currently working on EAD, having invoked AC21 once in the past. My labor was filed in 2005 under EB3 (I was eligible for EB2, but my company filed it under EB3, as per their policy). I filed 485 during July 2007 fiasco and am currently working on EAD.
My job qualifies for EB1 now and few of my peers have got Green Card under EB1. Can I port my filing from EB3 to EB1? Would it be better to do it with current employer or with a new employer? Pl. advice.
Thanks

NIW have to stick to the field in which they got their waiver from labor, as far as I understand. All comes down to how the NIW I-140 application/support letters were worded.

Folks, here are some lobbying and action items that will be very useful.
1) Try reaching out to your American friends/managers/colleagues and ask them to call Senators.
2) Universities are missing in action here. They are major beneficiaries of high-skilled immigration, because graduate school is typical first step. They must be concerned with not only the fact that special categories for researchers/professors is gone but also that lot fewer students from India and China will labor in their labs. COUNCIL OF GRADUATE EDUCATION is a good place to start.
3) Someone please write and op-ed piece of NY Times. They are pretty sympathetic to these kind of issues. A major criteria for publication in the op-ed section is that the topic should be current. The plight of legal immigrants can't get more current that this. Any op-ed piece will get major exposure to our plight. Here is a link on how to contribute to NYT op-ed: http://www.nytimes.com/ref/membercenter/help/opedsubmit.html
The op-ed should not be complaining in tone, but rather show the value of having a proper high-skilled immigration reform for the American economy.
4) Where are those powerful desis we see on rediff? There are many desi executives, board members. They regularly dole out money to campaigns. If they can't put a word for us now, when will they do? After all most of them went through this process.
These are only some ideas on how we can cause at least some ripples. Please contribute more and put some in to action.

Does anyone know if the B1 visa can be extended in US? The visa stamp on the passport is for 6months. when entered US, the officer granted 5.5 months of stay.......
I am thinking I simply appy for B1 extension 30 days before I-94 expiry date and the actual visa stamp on the visa does not matter.....is it true
Thanks for your time!!
Yes you can extend your B1, but you must have a very good reason for your extension request. And you may be questioned next time you come into the country. I have a friend that was questioned on a returning trip to the US

Do you get I-94 if you travel and entering US on AP--YES ?
If yes what is end date on I-94 and how you get extention of I-94 for that I-94 ?--You will be on AOS status after I-94 expires also you can still get H1 extension and obtain new I-94,continue renewing EAD/AP

My wife is currently on h4. She has applied for H4 to F1 trasfer i539 application with university A in May 2008. She is currently enrolled in University A on H4 as her application is pending. Now she got admission from a better unversity (starting Spring - Jan 2009) and she wants to join this university. What is the process to transfer her university given her i539 application is still pending (and probably remain pending till early 2009).
Regarding transfer, you need to wait from H4 to F1 before she can start attending classes.
Once you have a F1 transfer, all you need to do is talk to International Students Advisor dept of univ A and they would advise on what needs to be done. It's easy and straightforward.
Make sure that your wife still holds a valid I-20 from univ B, before you start this.

This has been discussed in so many threads
Once you change to AOS and invoke AC21 after 6 months, you can choose to do nothing or even be without a job. The only thing thats important is that the job offer should be available at the time of 485 adjucation.

Jaggubhai,
Just be honest. For now you can say "No" as it is not full time. If VO asks more question on it tell them "you were not sure and ask them what it needs to be since she is doing part time. Take relavent docuemnts to show she is a part time.
All it needs to get visa is Honesty.
Good luck

I would like to get your opinion on current situation.
Education: MS(Ind Engg), 5+ yrs exp.
I have priority date of Oct -2007(applied for labor under EB3). Got approved I-140 in Feb 2008( EB3 category). I got promoted to next level so requested to apply for labor once again in EB2 category in Feb 2009 and got approved labor in Feb 2010.
Is there a provision to amend labor and include previously approved I-140? Or Do I have to apply I-140 once again? and my priority date would be Feb 2009?
Dhiren
No labor amendement is possible. You have to go through Labor and I-140 stage again.

Hi all,
I got my first H1B after my MS in Nov 2002 to Oct 2005. I have renewed my H1B for the next 3 year period (Nov 2005 to Oct 2008) and I have the necessary forms from the USCIS. Now I need to get my passport restamped. I am considering Tijuana, Mexico as I have a friend in San Diego that I want to see. However, my I94 form in my passport says it expires in Nov 2005. Now my question is:
Can I go to Mexico for a restamp? What is the procedure/risk involved?
Thanks! Any help is appreciated.

Sorry to say this but it is totally speculative. It may be It may not be. It may be someone elses I140. You have to think about a way to get it from the employer or USCIS.
I am not a concurrent filer but i hope people would post their dates for your speculation. Good Luck.

Hi friends,
Based on the predictions for the November 7th 2006 elections for the House, looks like the democrats will grab a considerable amount of seats,
viz - Democrats - around 228, Republicans - 205
What do you guys think based on this? I hope starting from January 2007, there should be some light.
Thinking ahead, We should work with the democrats, rather than republicans. Citizens of US, who immigrated from India should vote for Democrats and make them win this elections.
Thanks

You could travel out and enter into US using your old visa stamp assuming that you enter before your old visa stamp expires. However show the new approved I-797 H1B petition at port of entry and they MOSTLY will give you a new I-94 valid till the expiration of new I-797 approval.
