Microsoft/IBM/Infosys/Wipro are interested in H1-B visa number hike.
They only want more new H1-B's, coz they have to pay more for those who are already here.

Politicians are interested in illegal immigrants because their number runs into millions and they can get their votes.

Remaining skilled labor force with his H1 term ending are of no use to anyone.
I think this forum is doing a tremendous job in fighting for a cause and will no doubt make a mark fo itself.
Thanks

Hi
My status has changed recently from H4 to H1. I haven't got my H1 visa stamped in passport. I need to travel to India due to family emergency.
1. Can I get an emergency appointment?
2. Would I have any problem related to transit visa if travelling via Amsterdam or Frankfurt?
3. How long does it take to recieve the passport after stamping?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
TEKNMEK

1. You should be able to get an emergency appointment. Check out the following links:

2. My mother recently flew via Frankfurt. She did not require a transit VISA.

3. If you get VISA stamped in India, it usually is given to you the same evening (at least in Chennai).

Hope this helps. Wish you good Luck!

Looks like there are mail and fax options.
Did you indicate whether you need it in a CD instead of paper copy?
Also for the labor copy, should the request be sent to USCIS or DOL?

Google G639 (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/g-639.pdf) form for the pdf version. Here, it's already done. Just click on the link it will take you to the form you need to request the information. Fill it completely in as much details as possible and then get it notarized for your signature at a bank. Once notarized, mail the form out to the address shown on the form.

My personal experience:
I followed the exact procedure as explained above and it took me 3 months to get everything i requested as a pdf document files on a CD instead of paper copies. It depends upon how many requests they have in the pipeline. 3 months is not bad i think. Good luck for your request.

i have signed non compete , but when i signed it , he explained me that i should not go to the client through some other vendor , but i can join end client as end client has contract with Prime vendor that they can hire me full time .

But now he is claiming that i cant join full time with the client as well.

During my stay with that employer , he newer paid me on time and once he held my paycheck , just to harass me.

Do you think that these grounds fall under employee undue stress to be sufficient to turn down Non Compete in court ?

Didnt you read the paper before sign the paper. Also dont you have the copy of that

eb3india,

Have you done any kind of research into the two questions that you have raised namely the 245(i) problem and the nurse categories. Please do it and you will find how they came into picture.

A sincere request to all our members. Before demanding a response from the core group, we hope you do more research on your flash thoughts. All the core group members have a full time job and are doing this in our free time apart from work and family. Given that it is crunch time in the Senate, we really don't have the time now to respond to all queries.

Thanks guys for your valuable support and advice.

Dear IV Folks from Texas:

Please come and join our yahoo group. We have a lot of work that we need to do here in the lone star state, and your help and input is needed !!!

Please join our yahoogroup:

Immediate help will be if you keep this thread bumped for others to join. Appreciated!

Why cant we just sit back and relax. There is nothing we can do after filing and if you have not heard about reciept, check cashed then no big deal. 99% peopel will get reciept without rejection. Have some faith. We will get nothing from calling USCIS, figuring out LUD, speculating who signed our envelop.

congrats.

in 90 percent of the times, I start out with clouds.. B&W clouds...

Did you work during this period?


Yes, I worked during that time using EAD as I dont have H1b. My Lawyer said I can work as EAD was not revoked. I work for myself (self employment) through my own company.

Again I didn't get refund of MTR money... that is good news if we get our $585 fee back..

Hi All,

We wish to apply for PIO card for our 5 month old baby at the Washington DC Indian Embassy.
The application and the supporting documents are all in place.
We have to drive 3 hrs to the Indian Embassy.
Since the weather is not very co-operative, i was wondering if it's absolutely required to take the kid to the Embassy? I would like to avoid taking him if possible.

Also, a minor question - how do you manage to get the thumb impression. Where can we get the ink pads required for the thumb impression?

Thanks All.

Hey all, I have PayPal Account and i have 200$ in that account, now what happen i wanna transfer in my indian bank account.. What the procedure i have to follow.. Please suggest me right way.

if you are in California then fwd this to your employer

http://ezinearticles.com/?Legality-of-NonCompete-Agreements-in-California&id=74000

Non-Compete agreements are void in California. I had the same situation as you and in my case my vendor (new employer) helped me based on this law. I m in California

US Date format on your AP would create some confusion in Immigration officer at Airport in India while coming back to USA..

On Bombay air port, I struggled for 5 minutes on AP date..US dates are MMDDYY format while India have DDMMYY...Our AP date was 9/7/2005 (Sep 7 2005) & we were travelling back to US on Aug 2, 2005 (India format 2/8/2005)...Immigration officer told us that WE Cant travel because our AP was expirered on Jul 9, 2007..I told him that USA dates are in MMDDYY format but he did not listened..then he called his Supervisor, his boss looked at our AP & he also said WE cant travel....Then I "politely" argued that dates in USA are MMDDYY format & my AP is valid...Somehow, his colleague on next counter was listening our converastion with him (& his Boss) and told our IO that I am right and my AP was valid....some how he was convinced by his colleguae and we were let go...

All of our family were tense...so take care of AP date format...

i understood that. I was just kidding :Di meant the quality was like, that perhaps my computer is messing it up

I applied for my second AP on 08/11/2009, was approved on 09/03/2009, was received at the attorney's office on 09/10/2009. Service center NSC.

No FP was done. FWIW my last FP was in Jan 09.

Did you guys have to go through FP for the APs? Will they take FP again even if they have done that before.

Very true. This is what I did, i changed jobs but still retain the attorney from the previous employer. Also, I did not submit AC-21 papers as suggested by my lawyer. Again, this is your choice.


on a related note for other AC-21 filers: see if you can hang on to your older attorney. You might be able to retain them independent of your old employer (by paying fees on your own). Keeps the USCIS file clean, and also you stick with someone who presumably knows your case a bit better having worked on it from the start.
