I sent my passport for renewal on Nov 9th, 2007 to Houston.
I have to visit India in Jan. I went by the time lines listed on the website and hope they it back to me within 2-3 weeks.
I requested in a detailed letter to them if I should bump the application up to an emergency. Hope to get a response back.
( I know I might be hoping for too much here. I should have applied well in advance. )

OPT going on H1
07-11 11:52 AM
I am on OPT expiring soon.. My employer filed for H1 and got approved for oct 1st. I will be out of status for sometime so I plan to go on H4( I am married) . Now one lawyer told me that If I apply for H4 my H1 approval will become invalid and I will have to reapply for H1. i.e if I do not have I 94 attached to the approval ( however I just got approval notification . no documents received yet , so no way to know if i have I 94 attached) Another Lawyer said thats not the case. He said I can go on H4 with a validity till

It seems some people already coverted\or in the process of coverting from Eb3 to Eb2. Even I did that recently.
Regards,
Alex
This process was already done by many in later part of 2005, entire 2006 and in early part of 2007. We do not know how many got out from the 485 Que in 2007. Many of those might have filed 485 recently in the july fiasco. The impact of these conversion will be felt only after 5 to 6 months or even after an year.

During the last comprehensive immigration reform bill that fell apart there was an amendment to give citizenship to people who are fluent in English withinin 4years of thier permanent residency. It could come up again if there is another comprehensive immigration bill. Just wishful thinking at best right now.

No impact on BEC approvals on retrogression, BECAUSE THEY NEED TO GET I-140 to be approved, then only their case to be on the line for visa number. Now no premium processing, their I-140 is going to get approved dring May OR June 2008. Till then the guys with I-140 approved and filed in June 2007 get GC. BEC approvals on 2001, 2002, 2003 cases after june 30th (last date for premium) will be on above catagory.
I agree with you. That's the reason I feel USCIS is just taking time to get their act together and move forward with PD.
I am very doubtful that DOS would open the gates completely next July (like this year) as they had very bad experience. But EB3 dates may move to early 2005 (March 2005 may be - before PERM was launched) and EB2 close to 2006.

You are laying your own immaturity out there by rambling on and on about vague facts and statements only to make the same point again and again - that you think IV does not represent EB3. Why dont you state that one line and save us the trouble of reading your meaningless drivel??
yes, this rant is oft repeated by around 5-6 members who do NOT represent the thousands of EB folks (EB2 AND EB3) who are affected by this mess.
So before you start one of your long drawn essays again, step back and THINK (which you do not seem to be doing at all..or are not capable of doing) about whether you are contributing even one bit to solving the problem or trying to add to the problem. we can do a lot more if we spend less time trying to drill sense into wayward people like you.
Think about -
1) how many lawmakers you have met till date to resolve the EB3 problem (which you accuse IV of not solving). Have you asked a lawmaker while per country limits cannot be removed....an act which will remove all EB3 backlog??
2) how many IV advocacy events have you attended?
Yes forever_waiting it is surprising and shocking to see how a discussion on an EB Bill which will never see the light of the day has degenerated into an oft-repeated rant
By using the keyword
oft-repeated (i will ignore the word rant because only an immature mind will call the other side of a discussion as rant) it
would imply that many EB3 members have raised the same concern in this forum before and i am not the first and believe me when i say this i will not be the last also. So that would mean a whole bunch of people (remember eb3 are 50 k and eb2 are 12k) have the same concern and they have raised the same concern in this same forum so that would mean IV is aware of the concern.
Now what has
IV done about it ??
Meeting a lawmaker with the support of IV behind you is not a reflection of a big effort on your side. The power behind that is IV. Now for me or any other EB3 to meet a law maker is not something i would consider an effort since EB3 are willing to put the same effort which you are putting only if they believein what they are doing. To believe a person needs to feel that they are working for a cause that will impact their situation. Sadly this is missing and that is why EB3 people are cool about the whole meet the law maker process
Regarding the statement I repeat the IV provisions which are for ALL EB and not any specific category/country. THe problem with EB3 is the with the way the EB system/inventory is set-up. What specific steps has IV articulated to resolve the specific issue of EB3
By your own definition this is a chronic issue and what we are taught is that any issue which is chronic needs to be redressed and when it is not it becomes a big issue which cannot be handled
As always, there is the name calling stating that EB3 people aarmchair critics and winers but you are part of a community and you have issues you will air your greviences in the same community not to some one who has no idea or does notcare about it
What is really suprising and shocking is that in EB community itself EB2 does not care to listen and provide and open discussion about EB3 issues. Now according to me that is shocking
BTW i commend your effort of meeting the law maker but if you introspect the only reason you are making an effort is because you believe your efforts will bear fruit in the form of a GC soon (I believe you are EB2 with a priority date of Apr 08)

There are some docs who are working Overtime and charging $50 or $100 more for Immigration appt ... you might have to dorive down a little bit.
Try to find a Desi doctor - they can do the Imm check up right now if you pay them more and request.
The doc i did was charging $50 more for special evening Immg appts - luckily i took appt On June 15th before the rush started and saved some dollars.
Wish the statement from your attorney is true and we all will be able to file 485 through the month of July with no issue. I'm luckly to get the paper work done and ship the package to Attorney and waiting on their action, But have few friends who could get Medical Appointment only around second/third week of July. Also this EW Other Worker Quota that became unavailable and also rejection of these applications has made us worry a lot, although it is a diffferent category we are at fear that this could happen to us. Reading the VB again, the reduction in the EW annual limit to 5,000 began in Fiscal Year 2002... So this category has only 5000 Visas and I'm not surprised this bacame unavailable and think this category is far more crowded than others... We should be fine atleast in July... May be too optimistic... but nothing wrong in hoping for the best and wish all the members can file asap.

From what I heard when I was in a similar situation, the last approved H application would become her status. Meaning, if you apply for a H1B and a H4 later, if the H4 gets approved after her H1B, her status would automatically revert to a H4 because that was the last approved H application. If her H4 renewal is part of your H1B renewal, you could do yours as a permium processing application. That way, her H4 approval might come through well before her H1B approval.
To answer your last question, if you did not show a valid I-94 till Oct 2007 while applying for her H1B, her H1B approval would come through without a I-94 attached. If that happens, she will have to get her Visa stamped out of the country. Otherwise, she could potentially be without a valid I-94.
Will this be a problem?
I need answers to following questions.
1) Can i apply for mY wife's H4-B renewal while her H1-B application is pending?
2) What will happen, if here H1-B is approved after H4-B renewal is applied and before her Renewal of H4-B is approved?
3) What will happen, if my wife's H1-B is approved before H4-B renewal is applied. On what status will she stay untill Oct 2007. Does she have to go back to India and come back with a visa stamp?
Any other matrix?
thanks

One of IVs priorities has been to have a uniform skills based system like other developed countries Eg. Canada.
members are welcome to join in that initiative as weel and suggest ideas.
I'm actually preparing a doc for a way to fairly convert people from EB to a points based skills system. This would also eliminate country based quotas as a side effect.
The CIR in 2007 had a similar proposal, but they did not compensate those already in EB queues.
There is a post from logiclife arguing against the points system back in 2007 (I will find that and post it here). Since when did IV change the strategy to go with the "points system"? The simple argument against the points system is that Government (and NOT the employer) decides who is qualifed in a points based system as against the current system which only allows qualified people with a job and being inside the U.S, to apply and get GC (as against the points system which can be from anywhere in the world).
The current system can be and should be fixed instead of moving to the points based system. For instance, remove the per country quota, allow a non-immigrant visa to be converted into an immigrant visa by an employee without going thru the labor and I-140 after a certain amount of time (3-5 years) which takes away the hold of the employer on your GC process, increase the EB numbers etc.

Hi,
I called almost all of them and It seems most of them are already aware of our efforts - as soon as I asked if I could talk to an immigration person/legal specialist they said oh is it in reference to support for HR 5882, HR 5921 & HR 6039 and they said that they have already received a lot of calls but they would pass on our support for the bills to the congressman/woman.
So..looks like its working..
