Not so fast...the bill language clearly indicates that the provisions of this bill will take effect from the first fiscal day of the new fiscal year after this bill becomes an act...so unless this bill is voted by the house and senate and then signed by the President before September 30th, we will not be seeing any benefit until the fiscal year starting October 1st, 2009. After the September session, Congress will convene again in November/December timeframe for a short session. If the bill does not get passed then, then come next January, it will be starting the process all over again as it will be a new year for the Congress. Just like green cards, Congress does not carry over bills from one year to the next.
OOPS, we need an amendment to change the effective date, Damn.

One has to remember that the famous "AC21" is also a memo!
......
AILA wants to fight this on the grounds that such directives cannot be mandated in the form of a memo, but laws have to be passed. What if USCIS retracts the AC21 memo on the same grounds?
Incorrect!
Get a hammering fact!
AC-21 is law (S. 2045) signed by then president Bill Clinton on October 17th, 2000. (Read again, AC-21 is law)

I think SBI is best in convesion rate and also the time it takes to transfer the money.
ICICI gave nearly $1 less than prevailing rate they had on their website.
Even if you send a check, you get better rate if you deposit into an SBI account in India.

One of my best friends has good FTE offer from one company in WestCoast.Right now he is working as subcontractor at client place in Boston but by looking at the market recession/depression, he is inlined towards this offer from the previous client manager in CA.
He is on H1 for 5 yrs and is into 3 yrs extension based on approved LC/140.He got EAD/AP approved and his EAD recently extended for 2 yrs.He is married, H4 wife with school aged kids.
He is with this Desi employer for 5+ years so his employer is generous about not cancelling his approved 140 for the bucks he made on this guy for the last 5 yrs. But my buddy is planning to ask his employer about keeping his H1 active, means he doesn’t want his employer to cancel his H1.He want to take up the FTE opportunity using EAD. He was asking me about his H1 status when not getting paid/no pay stubs and leaving it just like that until it comes out for renewal which is after 3 yrs…when I asked why he wants to do it he said he just want to keep it as backup incase his 485 get denied so that he can use the remaining period of H1.But I have my own doubts about his H1 and EAD usage.
Now my Question is can he stay on H1 with the Original employer without working for him (that means no salary/pay stubs) and work for this new company that is offering FTE for him?
I told him that he might have to do AC-21 stuff but he said he don’t need to do it as he is not changing his employer, Is that true? He is saying that AC-21 wld come into the picture only when if u switch employer / 140 got revoked.
Looks like he can get paid by the new employer by 1099, is that correct?.
Also I’m skeptical about using EAD while keeping your H1 with original employer.
I read in IV that you will be called for personal interviews (National Benefit Center stuff) right before you getting GC and you have to show your current years pay stubs, previous w-2’s returns etc... What about if you have to face this scenario(although it happens randomly)? Like how can we show pay stubs from new employer as proof of employment when your LC/140/484 are coupled to previous employer and you are not in his payroll though your H1/140 is not cancelled?
Has anybody done this? If so can I know what are the pros and cons?
If it is doable and if you have friendly employer who recognizes your loyalty for those years you worked for him, it’s look like a very good option for everyone.
Can someone pls share your knowledge?
Thanks

This might come as a surprise to some of you, but someone needs to say it out loud. GET A LIFE FOLKS!!!! there is more to life then EB, GC and all. it seem all we desi's can think of is how to get a green card so we can live here with peace and never have to worry bout getting laid off or anything.
Few points:
1) having gc is a privilege not a right.
2) US has every right to choose whom they want to have in their country.
3) If getting PR or citizenship of a western country is the goal there are many countries which have a fair point based system.
4) Considering the number of fraud's committed by Indian body shoppers and people who use them, i am not surprised USCIS is extra careful when it comes to Indian applications. Anyone who got his wife with no exp with software dev an h1b visa from some cheat in Jersey knows what i am talking bout . My freind got his wife an H1 after showing she knew software testing even though her major was fine arts and all she was good at was web surfing :)
5) have a back up. i came here in 2001 as student and have seen it all. I am on h1b since 2004. i knew we have too many people whose sole aim in life is a American GC. to avoid becoming one of those who check processing dates first thing in morning, i applied for Canadian PR, got it in 8 months and i am not even gonna bother applying for labor, i-140 and all those precious life controlling documents.
Wake up friends, you have options. Don't let your life depend on you application status.

People of every country have the right to get whoever they want. The only question is are those rules clear and also are the decisions being made for the correct reasons. If they announce that they do not want to give GCs to anyone people will make up their minds if they want to go now or whenever there visa expires based on their personal situation.

Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,

Dear IV Members,
If you believe that your success depends on your immigration process - whether it's the ability to file I-485 earlier or to get green-card and citizenship sooner or whether it's the ability of your spouse to work - then you have to believe that your success somehow depends on the success of Immigration voice and these 170 volunteers in DC next week.
As you may know, we are just one more week away from hosting Advocacy day in Washington DC where about 170 members of Immigration Voice will conduct nearly 250 meetings with offices of Senators and Congressmen. Such events cost money. If we have enough contributions, we can spend as per our budget of nearly $ 50,000. If not, we will have to cut back on the event spending and reduce the magnitude and size of the event.
If you are not coming to DC next week, please do your part and contribute funds to Immigration Voice. It not only finances the event properly, it instills pride and confidence in the members who will be there in DC that there are thousands of willing supporters behind them who could not be there physically but are 100% with them in their determination and resolve.

I sincerely believe NASSCOM should not ask Bush to raise H1B cap while he is there. It will create unnenecessary rukus in the U.S. media, and critics may contend that foreign institutions are trying to influence US immigraton policy.
Anyone with contacts in the Sofware Industry/NASSCOM please contact them (and Karnik) to let them know this will be counter-productive at this time. I'm not sure what these guys are thinking, sitting in their offices in Bangalore:(
Social Secuirity Reform for H1Bs is, on the other hand, a genuine financial concern and should be tackled immediately.
------------
Indo-Asian News Service
Bangalore, February 21, 2006
The National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom) will take up the issue of enhancing the H1-B visa cap for Indian IT professionals during US President George W Bush's upcoming visit to India.
The present annual cap of 65,000 H1-B visas for Indian professionals was far too low and needed to be raised substantially to meet the growing industry demand, Nasscom president Kiran Karnik told reporters in Bangalore on Tuesday.
"Though there are no great issues with the US, we are concerned with the existing cap on H1-B visas, which continues to trouble us," Karnik said.
He added, "This is something even the US corporations are concerned about and share with us."
"We intend to take up the issue with President Bush during his forthcoming visit to India (March 1). Since the US administration too understands our needs, we hope they address it."
"Indications are some moves are afoot in this direction," Karnik said on the sidelines of the second Sino-India software industry cooperation summit.
Recalling how the number of H1-B visas for Indian professionals touched a peak of 195,000 annually not long ago, Karnik said the Indian IT industry would be comfortable if the cap was more than doubled from the present level.
"We are looking at a cap substantially high enough to bridge the demand-supply gap. We want market forces to be the deciding factor as the Indian IT industry is the major user of the H1-B visa," Karnik pointed out.
The other major issue worrying Nasscom is the social security system or totalization agreement for Indian professionals working in the US under H1-B visa.
"Even the high fee structure for H1-B visas is concern for us because Indian professionals are made to pay up taxes for social security without any benefit. Since the H1-B visas are only for three-to-six years and social security benefits flow only after 10 years, Indians stand to lose out on them," Karnik lamented.
To overcome the problem, Nasscom has suggested the US government could refund the tax deducted under the social security system at the end of the work permit on the lines of some European countries.
"We are not against the deduction per se. Collect the social security tax, but refund the amount when the person leaves for home, as is being done by some Scandanavian countries like Finland and Sweden," Karnik affirmed.
In fact, Nasscom is in talks with more countries to introduce a similar tax system for the benefit of Indian IT professionals going abroad on work permit visas for onsite work or executing projects over a long period.
Nasscom also plans to bring to Bush's notice the urgent need to hasten the process of issuing H1-B and L1 visas.
"We are not against safeguards for L1 visas, but new restrictions should not be adverse. We agree L1 visas should not be misused. But the process should not take too long," Karnik said.
While H1-B visas allow companies incorporated in the US to employ professionals from overseas, L1 visas is more temporary in nature and is issued for transfer of an employee from overseas to the US.
In this context, Nasscom hoped the opening up of a US consulate in Hyderabad soon would benefit the Indian IT firms in reducing the time taken to process their visa applications.

Second the idea of using an ATM card for this purpose. You can get an ATM card for your parents or relatives in India from your local credit union or bank in the US.
ATM is a good idea.. What I normally do is I take or send my US check book signed of course and my name or family members name in pay to field.. No transfer fee or any thing and you can directly deposite it in any bank account with USD amount on it. The catch here is it take 10-15 business days.. but if it is not an emergency I find this is the best way and besides this you get better rate too...

Anybody has this situation?
My case was sent by my attorney June 29th (current July bulletin) USPS certified mail.
As per USPS online tracking record it was delivered July 2nd 12.45 PM.
No receipt yet. So far sounds okay.
But I got the copy of actual delivery receipt stamped by F.Heinauer (Director NSC USCIS) with the date 062907.
It is a stamp so some of their employee clearly has stamped it.
Now I am confused if that’s the receipt date they are going to go with and may reject the application.
And with this many application it may take more than AUG 17th to receive anything back.
I am very sure it was reached on July 2nd. It was only sent June 29th afternoon.
And USPS is telling there is no delivery can reach so fast. According to USPS the guy who might have stamped the delivery did not changed the stamp date from 0629 to 0702 since it was a weekend.
Anybody in the same situation? Any advice?
Thanks

I am not endorsing any fund or product. You have to do your own research and you have to figure out your own risk appetite- Disclaimer
Superfund is a hedge fund which has two funds of managed futures. Its enrty was $5K last time I checked. But again in a hedge fund you typically pay 2 & 20. That means 2% maintenance and 20% off the profits and there is huge down side risk where your entire investment can be wiped out. Tread carefully!!
Again a great post. Just want to comment that be careful with ETF's too. Most of the ETF's are not physical commodity holders. They play in futures and OTC swap markets.
I have looked hard to find ETF's or MF's fwhich are pure commodity holders e.g gold, silver etc.I still have not found good ones. The closest I could get was some portfolio of mix of real assets and futures. Most of the ETFs are again leveraged and kind of trap for average investors.
There are a few hedge funds or big funds which might offer pure plays but those tend to have huge entry investment requirement basically making them inaccessible to individual small investors.
Superfund is a hedge fund which has two funds of managed futures. Its enrty was $5K last time I checked. But again in a hedge fund you typically pay 2 & 20. That means 2% maintenance and 20% off the profits and there is huge down side risk where your entire investment can be wiped out. Tread carefully!!
Again a great post. Just want to comment that be careful with ETF's too. Most of the ETF's are not physical commodity holders. They play in futures and OTC swap markets.

its clearly written in Sep'2008 bulletin. However, seems like EB3-I wont' get any of it and all numbers will be given to EB2. we loose again.
Its all EB2.
They even can't think logically that 5+ yrs of difference between EB3 & EB2 makes EB3 automatically same as EB2 as per their qualification definition.

sorry man, my hinglish is vrey vrey vrey poor. so plaese bear wtih me.
Lets not argue, lets discuss, maybe I could agree with your views. So heer it goes, how is quota limits fair to anybody? I thought we are all equals, unless you think you are challenged in anyways - physically or otherwise, in that case I agree, you are 100% right, there must be a special quota for you. For all others who consider themselves to be equal shareholders to the free society, isn't preferential treatment for any set of people "wrong" and "unfair"? Just asking? I mean are we not equals, if yes, then there should be no quota for any country, if no and you think you are superior, which maybe true, then I should get preferential treatment, if no, and you think you are inferior or otherwise challenged in anyways, well, in that case yes, you sure should be treat better than others.... you know....
So what do you think you are - equal? inferior? or superior? I mean it has go to be one of those, right?
Ok, I will give you a weak analogy. See how Indian IPOs distribute shares when it is oversubscribed. The same thing goes here. Replace money by applicants and replace investors by countries, and you will get a sense as to why per country quota is implemented. I agree it is hard to digest the per country quota, but it is what it is. It is affirmative action if you will. It requires equality, but gives some buffer to people not properly represented (or run the risk of being overwhelmed by any single country).
