Dear Friends,
It is great to see so much momentum in writing letters to elected officials. May I suggest that those impacted by retrogression/backlogs take an extra effort to articulate the issues and focus on differentiating it from the H1-B issues.
Here are some ways to frame 'thought provoking' discussions regarding retrogression:
Start off by stating in your letter that you are a non-US Citizen and non-Permanent Resident, currently in the Legal Immigration Queue!!
- In a country where there can be no legal bias on the basis of one's country of origin, why do we tolerate artificial quotas and restrictions during the legal immigration process based on country of origin?
- In an economy known for its dynamism and pace, where meritrocracy and hard work alone matter in principle, partly shored up by its hire and fire policy, granting Green Cards expeditously only enables them to more fully participate in the dynamic economy.
- In a country known for constant innovation and change, where the Top 10 firms of 50 years ago are so very different from the Top 10 firms of today, not enabling value-added immigration by highly skilled workers will only prevent such exponential innovation in the next 50 years.
- In a global economy where knowledge work can be done at any place where you have high speed networks, delays in granting Green Cards to highly skilled workers within the US only risks them and their high tax-paying jobs moving to other countries; including India, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore etc..
- From a public policy perspective, the time delay effect of not implementing a forward-looking policy in this regard will only inhibit economic growth because good ideas, able workers and creative capital finds its natural level over time. If the unreasonable backlogs continue for a foreseeable future, it is the US economy that will suffer in the long term because people and ideas will find a welcome home in other countries.
- Seeking resolution to the retrogression issue is neither a claim of entitlement or social promotion. It is requesting fairness, equity and reasonableness for those that respected the law and sought legal immigration through hard work and economic value-addition.
- Recapturing unused visa numbers does not create a net addition to the immigrant worker pool. In fact, it only creates a more mobile workforce, that can seek higher paying jobs, and in return contribute through taxes and social security.
- Ignoring the retrogression issue, would at one level, amount to gross injustice to citizens of countries that are democratic allies of the US.
Let us list out factual, cause-effect statements of non-resolution and hope that Congressional staffers will present these 'bullet points' in front of lawmakers.
I would urge everyone to send a personal email/ message.
1. Start off the email/message saying that you would like to share your pain points and perspectives so that the lawmakers can better learn about your interests, and that you hope that they will be sympathetic enough to come to the aid of legal high tax paying workers, and their respective employers.
2. Be frank and honest about the pains that you face due to retrogression - e.g. wife unable volunteer/seek work, unable to travel to other countries, unable to seek higher paying jobs, unable to grow professionally, unable to plan personal lives and investments, unable to live the American Dream, unable to move across State lines, unable to quell spouse's frustrations in being under 'house arrest', unable to feel the true freedom of this country, unable to maximize your value to the economy ... and other struggles and sacrifices
3. Take each of the above points and customize it to fit your needs
4. Close the email with a note to the effect that you would like to constantly remind the lawmakers that in their constituency, in this great democracy, in this meritrocratic economy, the current policies have created a slew of issues and hardships on professional and personal fronts due to the state of limbo.
5. Remind the audience that retrogression is an issue of 'backlogging' and is separate from the H1-B issue.
6. Remind them that not long ago, the Civil Rights movement started on the rather simple premise of ensuring that each and every man, woman and child in this country could live free and keep this nation free and make this a better world. The need for legal immigrants of the 21st century is no different in that you have a class of artificially segregated society that is unable to break free of its shackles of artificial quotes and arbitrary waiting times ... for no fault or folly of the person except that they dared to dream that they can live the Great American Dream.
7. Seeking resolution is not something to be ashamed or afraid about, and it definitely is not about 'guest workers not wanting to go back'. There is a legal process for guest workers to seek permanent residency and as applicants in the process, you are only seeking fair, judicious and expeditious resolution to backlogs and artificial 'hold backs'. This is a nation of immigrants and if one went back three to four generations, you would find stories of brave, bold believers that sought out the New World. Legal immigration is the modern Ellis Island. An entrance to the land of the brave, the land of the free.
Please, please take a moment to send out messages so that this features on their radar. Keep the messages professional, yet personable. Don't harrass or 'name call' anyone or any constituent in the messages. Our job should be to highlight the pain point, let us leave the resolution in their capable hands.
There are 1000's of members in IV. If each member seriously committed to sending just 1 message, chances are that we would be reaching ALL the elected members.
Remember, you can come back here and rant and rave as much as you want; or pontificate or predict about the issues. None of that makes a difference as much as your ability to challenge current beliefs and turn the tide in your favor through constant, consistent communication to lawmakers.
It's your turn... with the elections coming to close tomorrow, NOW is the time to set things right. Go ahead, please, I beg each one of you, make a commitment to send A Personal Message of Pain(AMAW)
Obviously
P.S. I would not recommend the 'Message A Week' from one person. I meant to say, if each of us took time to send 1 message each, over the next couple of weeks, together, we would end up having at least 1 message a week from this constituent body reach lawmakers and their offices. Please DO NOT flood them with messages every week, from the same person. This would waste their time and not be respectful of their attention. Again, just 1 message per person with all the points in there, would be helpful.

Thanks desi - AOS is what I was thinking as well but that doesn't seem to be one of the options listed when opening an account (the firm is Ameritrade - you check out their website https://wwwna.tdameritrade.com/cgi-bin/apps/IraApServlet). Guess they are just not aware of this status since it wasn't really designed to be a "status" and only recently have several people moved to AOS status given the backup for EB3 and EB2 China/ India
AOS is not a visa status. So, for https://wwwna.tdameritrade.com/cgi-bin/apps/IraApServlet one should select None for the visa status as the person is not maintaining any non-immigrant visa status.
AOS is period of authorized stay while I-485 application is pending.

Well, when you applied in the past the whole world was not current.. just imagine the number of people who will be applying for EAD's not that any one with an approved labor can get one ... do you think the USCIC is equipped to respond timely to every one?
There sure will delays and we need to plan for that.
I dont know exactly what is the issue here, but I have filed for EAD extentions 3 times in last three years and it was a very straight forward and easy process. We filed the extentions about 2 months before the expiration and got EADs and APs done in about a month.

No. You can apply for H4 to H1 from any company. The new company from whom you have the job offer can apply for COS from H4 to H1.
See, its like this - H1 belongs to company but once you change it to H4 then the H4 does not belong to any company. Once you have offer from new company then the new company can apply for COS without any issues.

Hi, i was looking at Murthy chat log and it states since H1b is a dual intend visa one may keep H1b status and do part time job on EAD ... she did mention that the rules is not crystal clear on some of these issues, but the doctrine of dual intent allows a person to be in both the I-485 and H1B statuses and allows him/her to file H1B extensions, even if the EAD has been used for work, etc., has anyone done that in the past or knows somenone please reply?
Chat User : As many of us plan to start part-time businesses using EAD, if we are on H-1 and use an EAD for a part-time business, does it mean we abandon H1B status? Thank you for your service.
Attorney Murthy : Actually, the H1B allows for dual intent. So even if one uses the EAD to start a PT business, if one closes the business or files an H1B extension with the current employer, that is an option to resume H-1 status. The rules are not crystal clear on some of these issues, but the doctrine of dual intent allows a person to be in both the I-485 and H1B statuses and allows him/her to file H1B extensions, even if the EAD has been used for work, etc.
Chat User : I am applying for I-485 for my family, and my wife is on H1B. Can she travel to India on AP and work on H-1? Does she need to get H1B stamping, or can she use AP for travel and H-1 for work?
Attorney Murthy : The general rule is that, after a person uses the AP, the safer approach is to work on the EAD, but the law allows such a person to also file for H1B extensions, as long as s/he is working with the H1B employer. As mentioned above, the law is not crystal clear on what must happen, and we find that it has been quite broad in this respect, since there are no clear-cut limitations. It would be safer / clearer to have the EAD.

My husband received a �Transfer Notice� for his I-485 from TSC. This is what the notice says.
"Preliminary Processing of the application has been completed, and it has been transferred to USCIS-NBC, Lee's summit , MO 64064. The office will notify you when they schedule an interview on the application."
Here is brief history.
My PD is July-04 in EB2. I am the primary applicant and I am on H1. My husband was on H4 and now he is on EAD. My I-485 was filed in NSC, and then moved to TSC. Here are my ?s.
1. What is meant by �Preliminary Processing of the application has been completed�? What is completed actually?
2. I did not receive any such notice so far, is it quite normal?
3. Came to US on L1 blanket visa and didn�t submit the approval notices for my husband, since there is no separate approval notices for the dependents coming on L blanket visa. May be is it, because of this?
4. My husband had a DUI in March 2003, and that case was closed. It was a misdemeanor, and not a felony. Is this notice because of my husband�s DUI record?
5. Also, I raised �Expedite Service Request� twice, because of my husband�s serious heart condition, and faxed the medical letter to uscis as a proof , however this request got rejected both the times. May be, is it to verify the medical condition?.
6. Will something related to my AOs be decided based on how we answer.
7. Can I accompany my husband for the interview?
I am really concerned about the interview. Please let me know what you know about this.
Thanks.

I believe there are many physicians who are facing this question regarding H1b visa status. I hope this thread will help many resident physicians.
I am in final year of residency, on H1b visa (cap-exempt). I am looking for jobs and most of the H1b sponsoring employers are being subjected to cap (apparently due to stricter USCIS rules). If I fall in "under cap" category I will be able to start from Oct 1 2011. This creates problem for most resident physicians as they finish training at the end of June (as this is when their H1b expires).
So my questions is (with possible solutions that I have gathered so far, please advise me if these are true)...
Q. 1 What will I do from the end of my residency (i.e. July) till I start next job (i.e. Oct)?
OPTION 1: Request current residency program to extend your residency status by giving you full/part time Chief-resident/research fellow or similar type of status. but using this way means your training license will have to be extended as well.
Does that mean a new H1b application will need to be filed (which may be quite expensive for 3 months of stay, considering attorney fee, premium processing fee etc)?
Yes.
OPTION 2: Ask your future employer (cap subject) to show your starting date few days before your current H1b expiration date. This way your future employment will NOT fall in the cap-category. I gathered it from somewhere on this website though I doubt it will work.
Source- http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/attachments/forum6-non-immigrant-visas/382d1292767900-portability-of-cap-exempt-h1b-to-cap-subjected-h1b-uscis-memo-on-cap-exempt-to-cap-subject-2.pdf
This is not true. A cap-subject employer will always need an H1-B that is counted against the cap before you can start working for them.
OPTION 3: If you already have multiple entry visitors visa (B2) you may change visa status to B2. So when your H1b expires B2 kicks in. That way you can legally stay in the US (and sit for ABIM board exam). Havnt found any document to support if it is allowed and how easy this switch is. Heard from "friend of friend".
There is no automatic "switch". Your status inside US is determined by I-94 form. You would need to request USCIS for change of status to B2 VISA. You do not need a B2 VISA stamp on your passport for the change of status provided USCIS grants it.
OPTION 4: Go back to your home country for 3 months and come back before starting job. question is if this will cause any problem in coming back or any other legal issue.
This is the preferable option.
OPTION 5: If you have applied for ABIM board you may be allowed to stay till your board (mid-August). Though I have heard its true only for J1 holders. If it does work for H1 holders how does this process work?
Thanks a lot in advance.

You can just drag and drop the icon you want into Blend or explicitly add it via the Projects panel :)
Your question on connecting to an XML data source is interesting because there are several ways of doing this. One approach is by using Linq and just parsing the output.
Here is an example of that: http://blog.kirupa.com/?p=144
Let me know if this helps you get started or if you have further questions :megaman:
Cheers,
Kirupa :look:
I wanted to see if I can write a simple application that uses a dictionary API to query a server somewhere (if I said that right). I have some ideas for a few more difficult apps so I wanted to start with this simple one.
I�m mostly using Expression Blend to create these apps.
The first thing I would like to know is:
* How do I use a wp7 icon (from the icon pack) as a clickable button? I have an input search TextBox, but instead of using a simple button control (for the click event) I would like to use the magnifying glass icon as the search button --something similar to how Bing (on WP7) uses the mic in the search box. How can I accomplish this?

The second thing I would like to know is:
* How is an API use in app? I found a few APIs/ RSS feeds and XML data sources that I would like to utilize in my future apps, but I�m not sure how to implement them.
EXAMPLE: http://api.somewebsite.xxx/xsomething=item1&sip=somethingelse. I�ve read some about URI. What is this?
So basically, I would like to create an app that goes out to a server somewhere and fetch information based on a user�s keyword input and click event.
Please help!!!

He does tests or send for tests. HIV and syphilis.
There are places (even though not remote) , you cant get appointments for weeks. There must be different reasons for that. I don't think any one answered the OP question:
What blood tests need to be done (apart from HIV and Siphyllis)?

Hi,
-I got my I140 approved in MAY 2006.
-I got my 3 years H1B based on I140 approval. I went to India for stamping as I was out of status for 10 months due to 7th year extension pending for a long time with USCIS.
- I came to USA on this H1B in JUNE'2006 with approval until JUNE'2009.
-On JAN 2007, my company has received a letter from USCIS to 'INTENT TO Revoke' the approved I140.
-My employer responded to USCIS letter with required documents.
-We are waiting for USCIS decision.
In this situation
1.Will my H1B also be revoked if I140 is revoked?
2. Can I transfer my H1B to another employer. How much time do I have?
3. If I transfer my H1B(i have approval until JUNE2009), can I apply new labor and I140 and get extension again after 2009.
Any other suggestions , help that you can do. Please advise?

First of all, whats' the situation?
Are you still waiting for LC, may be from BECs?
what's the reason of RFE, if you are currently working for the same employer?
I don't know how you can get approval by going through company B, which you can not get with Company A.
Please give more information and certainly someone can help you quickly
Gurus/Attorneys,
My current 8th year H1 is valid until end of May 2007 from employer A, we applied for 9th year ext and got a big RFE. As a backup, can I transfer my H1 to employer B and get 1 year extension (until May 2008) based on my approved labor from employer A ??
Any inputs/suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
