If employer prepared fake resume then employee also would have supported. So both of them made a mistake. But Employee also aware of consquences and took a risk and has to face it. In fact joining a small Indian body shopping especially working hourly carries tremedous risk only to employees. Employers does not have any risk. The candidates are so much hurry to get a job and joining to any company who are processing H1b after that they are just complaining in the forums that too when they are in trouble.
I am not pointing to this particular case as this could be genuine or not.
hi there
i am not surprised that these idiotic consulting companies do that. what surprises me is that the consulting companies trying to protect themselves. Arent they already doing all kinds of illegal activities fluffling up the resumes, making employees pay for H1, running payroll by taking tax money from the consultant.
given ur background i would be really surprised if your employer has placed you with the appropriate fresher resume. I am sure he has done a lot of stupid things. it is his problem to help you in this situation. arent they taking the bulk of your money when u are working hard for those a****** and f******. so i would suggest you talk to the employer into considering ur situation and if not try to move into an F1 situaiton and complain to Labor department that you have decided to not work on illegal terms and that is why ur employer is causing u trouble and make sure that your employer faces some music.
GOD WHEN DO U PUNISH THESE USELESS CONSULTING COMPANIES. MAKING ME LOSE RESPECT DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

Hi Friends
This is my first thread in IV
I am posting my experience on cruise vacation mostly from immigrant point of view.
I am on H1 visa , valid till 2012 end..
Most of below things applicable for H1 guys only.. I am not addressing GC holders/Citizens
My trip:Newyork to Bahamas
Ship name: NCL Gem
Sailed dates: 11 December to 18th December
1. Make sure you have passports/visas are valid and they are not going to expire in next 6 months
2. if you are traveling to Bahamas,, then 100% you need Bahamas visa [I am talking about H1 guys] whether they check at port of entry or not.. But as per rule you need Visa.. For me they checked each and every time
3. There are two ways to get Bahamas visa 1. by post 2. in person..... If you choose in person, then its not needed to visit Bahamas consulate by all family members.. Only one person can submit applications for all family members... NOTE: Bahamas new york consulate is not having same day service.. You have to revisit the office as per token given to you [Mostly next day]
4. There is no need to carry your passport in Bahamas,, you can safely place it inside your state room of ship and go outside just with identity card given by Ship people [ID card means, a credit card sized smart card which will acts as your id card as well as room key]. By this you can enjoy in beach with out worrying much about spoiling/loosing passports.
5. At the time of boarding [New York], they did not collected my I-94 card.. But while coming back to New york[disembarkation], they collected my I-94 card and issued a brand new I-94 card
I hope I covered all details related to immigration matters of cruise vacation
Let me know if you have any doubts and need more details
Cruise vacation is really an enjoyable vacation... You will get relax like any thing.
So if you have opportunity and time don't miss
Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you have to have a valid visa stamp on your passport or an expired visa and a current I797 with the new I-94 is also good?

Thanks for all of your suggestions
But the problem is there is no LUD after Fp, so I dont know weather the FP person has keyed in all the information.
Still have not received EAD, will wait till next week as it will be 60 days over then will call USCIS and ask for any update.

This is from USCIS Fee increase memo.
Adjustment applications and ancillary benefits � The new application fee for an I-485 is a package fee that includes associated EAD and advance parole applications. Thus, if you file an I-485 with the fee listed above, while you will still need to submit applications for an EAD and advance parole, you will not need to pay a separate fee so long as your adjustment application is pending. However, if you filed your I-485 before this fee change, to apply for or renew your EAD or advance parole, you must file a new application with the new fee for those applications.
It states that if you have filed just the 485 for the first time using the new fees and then plan to file 765 and 131 you don't have to send the fees again. But its not true with the renewals, i think so, may be worng.

I would contribute as soon as IV starts publishing how they are spending donations received.
To me - biggest hesitation for people to contribute is not knowing how their contributions are used/spent. People (including me) will be more forthcoming in contribution if IV starts publishing their expenses.
You seem to visit IV often, that means you have faith in IV. So the reason you are giving for not contributing is just an excuse. Contact core members and start working on campaigns internally and you will be more than satisfied. Core members are not your employees, they are just like you and me who have applied for GC.
At least in 09 change your attitude towards yourself and start contributing for your own good.

If you follow this link you will find a cartoon that is targeted at law maker aids etc.
http://www.bugbrowser.com/httpdownloads/cartoon_v13.gif
I am after suggestions for text to place two places:
A) Front of the storage tank
B) In the think bubble
Feel free to suggest only for one place.
For example:
A) "1,000,000 HIGH SKILLED PROBATIONARY IMMIGRANTS & DEPENDANTS"
B) "Another case of wrong size pipes!"
or
B) "Did a politician design this plumbing?"
maybe not a good idea to make fun of those we need help from though.
Also, full credit to Suren who has helped very significantly with this. Indeed I will likely need some more help from Suren - so thanks.

I second that...
When I called she said that your RD has to be after the processing date for them to look at status or open a SR....
Also RD is what is says for Status on your 485 online....My RD on receipt notice is July 24th, however she said the real RD is Sept 19th..as here is what it says on my online status..
"On Sept 19th we received a 485 application..blah blah...."
Also my case was transfered froM NSC to TSC...so that could be a reason...
But releasing Processing dates will obviously flood them with calls and having to open SRs...
My RD is 24 july on receipt. But Sep 20 on online status. Its is a direct NSC case.

You may be lucky to have the 140 approved in EB2 if you have Masters. If on the other hand you have a Bachelor there is every likelihood of a rejection.
Once you get a receipt your lawyer could file an amendment to change the preference category to EB3.
If the labor cert has been approved as an EB2 much depends on what your qualifications are. If you have the degree and relevant experience you might be OK. However, if you have the equivalent, i.e. different qualification and experience this will be denied.
The job, the advert and you all have to match.
The option to ask for it to be considered as an EB3 was denied in my own case in 2000. Once the category is in place and the labor cert has been approved that is the category this has to be. It is most probable you will have to start all over again with advertising etc for an EB3.

Aug 17th is good for filing with old fees only for I-485 and related docs.
I-140 new fees starts on July 30th.
One thing to be clarified is if new rate applies for apps reaching July 30th or later or postmarked July 30th and later.
If second is true, then, as long as it is mailed, then you are good.
The increase of fees only takes place on applications postmarked July 30th or later. So if your postmark is earlier that July 30 you should be okay.

Letter to Editor
Re : Inordinate Delay in making new Driving Licenses rule by Secretary of State
Dear Editor << or name of the newspaper reporter>>,
As you are aware, Secretary of State Ms. Terri Lynn Land had issued a rule to deny driver's license (DL) to residents with temporary visa status, which includes employment immigrants waiting for their green card. This rule was based on Attorney General Mike Cox's interpretation of state law (that the state can provide driving licenses to only "legal and permanent" residents.
Though a bill to provide DL to legal temporary residents has been passed by both houses of Michigan legislature and signed into law by you, the benefits of the new law are being denied to our community due to inordinate delays by Secretary of State in issuing new rules to comply with the law. Its surprising that Ms. Lynn Land who showed an undue haste in implementing the denial rule has not come up with a new one even after a full month of change in law.
This delay by SOS continues to deny driving licenses to legal and lawfully admitted immigrants is creating a hard situation for us. Thousands of immigrants like me who are engineers, vehicle designers, professors, doctors, and international students in Michigan universities are affected. It's impossible for many of us to commute to work, or to school. Many highly-skilled immigrants will be forced to leave the state, and universities will have a tough time in attracting international students.
Our state has already lost 30,000 residents to recession. It can ill-afford to lose thousands more at a time when the recession is worsening. Scarcity of highly-skilled workers will discourage high-tech companies from moving their jobs to Michigan. This will definitely impact the state's initiative to attract high-tech companies to open their offices here. Also, sale of homes by several thousand immigrants will lower the home prices further. This will adversely affect the real-estate industry reeling under sub-prime crisis.
I urge you to report the delay by Ms Lynn Land in issuing the new rules in your newspaper.
Sincerely,

This is insane. There are posts on immigrationportal that some ppl are getting approved even after July 12, those with PD 2005. To hell with this BS.
No objection to the lucky ppl who got it, but for sake of shutting this insanity I will file a lawsuit, if they process any application filed from July 2nd.
PS : I'vent filed my case yet. I dont believe in the popular opinion to file and wait for the lawsuit. I'm not against the lawsuit as it covers (it must) non filers, I'm going to wait. As per my attorney and myself, I will abide by USCIS statement to reject all applications recieved from 2nd July. Because if they retract and come up with yet another VB for July, this time they will be in for not a pleasant surprise.

Yep, you are absolutely right.
But part of the original post was about refiling from EB3 to EB2 having gained 5 years undisputed experience (and in the US).
So that would prohibit everything from being the same, and by a long way.
That's why I'm hoping that we can be allowed to refile and keep priority date. I started a new thread on that, maybe we can get legislation on that:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=544
In the technology business (where I am) the idea of every being the same 4 or 5 years later is crazy anyway. My attorny advised not to refile PERM.
Given BEC time scales leading edge technology could become obsolete in that time! That raises another point about the delays in the system if an application originally required skills in something that is now obsolete and those skills are no applicable could the DoL reject it - I think that they wouldn't have the skills themselves to know.
True that you will lose your original case, but if EVERYTHING is the same (the key word is EVERYTHING) in your case, then you can transfer to PERM (i.e. withdraw the original case, and refile in PERM) and still keep your original PD. That way you can continue to be eligible for 1 year extensions. However, I have not done this yet as the interpretation of EVERYTHING being same is up to DOL. So, if they determine that something is different and there fore, the case cannot be transferred, then we will lose the original PD (as the original case would have been withdrawn while we try to transfer to PERM), at which point we will be out of luck.
In its FAQ, DOL has promised to get back with more clarification on the transfer policy from BEC to PERM while retaining original PD, after getting input from all stakeholders. However, in classic DOL fashion, they are taking their own sweet time to clarify this policy further. Until such time, we continue to languish in BEC.
