What is donor forum. How to access that?

Click on donate button and sign up for monthly recurring contributions. You will know lot of information about IV activities.

I happened to read the following on a different thread on IV

"for cases that has to be filed by overnight courier that is by the USPS Express Mail the center will only pick up mails from the U.S Postal Service once a day and in the morning. Therefore any mail that is not picked up in the morning will be picked only the following day and is given a next day receipt date."

Does it mean that any packages that were sent out yesterday(Thursday) will be delivered today(Friday), but USCIS will only pick it up on Monday morning and then assign Monday as the receipt date? Anyone with some knowledge on this, please clarify.

Hi,

A friend of mine who's in India right now has been offered a job by two different employers here in the US. Both of those employers want to file for her H1B.
From her perspective it makes sense to let both the employers apply for her H1 coz that increases her chances of getting at least one approved. However, reading a bunch of FAQs online it seems that it'd be illegal for her to let both the employers apply for her H1B.
Is that correct? Does anyone have any insights?

Thanks.

Hi,

My wife is on H4 and willing to apply for H1-B. Her educational qualifications

1.)High school education(12 yrs)
2.)BCA(Bachelor of Computer Applications)- 3 yrs
3.)2.5 yrs of IT experience
4.)She's also doing her M.Sc(Master of Science) in Information Technology. Currently in 2nd year and will be completing by end of 2006. (She may not have the degree certificate by April 2007).

Is she eligible to apply for H1-B for next year 2007

Thanks,
Kumar


Kumar..Talk to a attorny before filing her H1.USCIS is rejecting cases who dont have continous 16yrs education. Recently one of friend's 7th year extension was rejected based on same reason.

If one had done his/ her bachelors and worked for 5 yrs and did Masters (online) and worked for 4 years after Masters, can he/she claim Masters with 9 yrs of exp?? Pls clarify.

Thanks for all the info and i have alreadu sent this question to my attorney and didnot hear anything so far.

Folks:
Need advice on my birth certificate matter.

I have my birth certificate. My DOB is correct on it along with Date of its registration (DOB+5 days).
My father's name and mother's name is not spelt exactly the same as in my passport.

Example:
my father's name has an extra "bhai" in the name. xxxxbhai yyyyy zzzzz
my mother's name has only her first name and not her full name. aaaaa

My passport has thier correct full names.

What kind of document(s) would i need to submit in order for me to use thier names listed on the passport? Could this cause an issue?

OR am I preparing for no reason?

Thanks for all your help,

Last i read was that the NON-RIR labors were being processed first compared to the RIR ones. So think twice before u take any decision.

I saw that too, but my problem is that i already had an appt for 3rd week of dec but I had an issue with my passport. Had to send papers for getting my name changed to my married name on the passport as the latest I797 i received was on my married name (noticed this only recently). Now I cannot change the name, passport etc on an existing appointment so will have to cancel the one I have. And currently only emergency appts are available for 3rd and 4th week of dec. Hence the dilemma!!!!!

USCIS is the US Govt..You do not tell Uncle SAm how to do their job....!!

Actually, that is not true. USCIS is part of US Govt. That is true. But, the department is run exclusively on the funds generated by receipt fees. So, they do have a responsibility towards us. dont you think

This is my understanding PERM has no fees to department of labour. Is that right ?
Can employee may attorney fees for PERM ?
Can employee pay I-140 fees for USCIS ?
Can employee pay I-140 fees to attorney ?
I assume that employee can surely pay for USCIS-485 fees and attorney fees for this. ?

a fax from india or a letter from your local doctor will do.
take it to local uscis office and you should get it within hours.

Your friend will only have problem if he tries to go directly from India to any Middle East, African, Eastern European , East Asian or Australia/NZ.
They will not allow your friend to board the plane from India without clearence from Labor Ministry in India.
It is mainly done so ppl arent exploited. Like taking young girls to Middle East where they may be abused.

bump.....

Guess you can reschedule it once but dont miss the next one.
read the fp thread you will get lot of inputs.

Also regarding Travel :
are the receipts good enough for international travel or we have to wait for the AP document and then only travel
Assuming we are using the AP at the POE and not the H1

thanks

Based on my experience i do not see any issues in your case

Ensure your EB2 and EB3 job duties are different at least 50%

Apply for PERM ASAP as it is only 7 months now..

Porting is good and easy.. give it a try...

Can any one please guide me that how to file complaint to DOL against his body shopper?

I am in the same boat, and am not sure if a lawyer is needed or is it something simple enough that "even a caveman" can do it??

I am not trying to hijack your thread, thought it'll be appropriate to add it to the thread that you have started.

I think it is apparent that people on this forum are frustrated with media representation and lack of understanding of the problems that our group, and those that we represent, face.

Without wishing to get into general political debates, it is probably a fair assumption that American citizens who are actively part of grassroots activism would be concerned about our situation if they knew about it.

There is a voice in numbers, and I believe it might be a good idea to reach out to organizations such as www.indymedia.com (http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml). This is a main hub, there are various regional versions of the organization.

Just another thought on how to publicize our issues.

It is better and more meaningful to do yearly predictions rather than monthly predictions. This way, we will waste less time and atleast see the dates moving by a few days.

I have stopped looking at these bulletins now.

The waiting time at US Embassy in Delhi is less then a week.
