Its more like paranoid journalism and the author's background states she has a degree in investigative journalism:mad:
I don't get it - how can USCIS take a sample of 250 people out of the 65000 visas alotted and say that 21 % of them were fraud ( 13% totally and 8 % technically ) . Its like taking only the fraud cases out of thousands and then saying that there is 100% fraud. I bet the fraud cases are not as high as 20% that the author and USCIS say.
It is sad to see that although we H1b immigrants get paid more than the American people ( considering what the employer gets from the client ) and even then we have to hear that we are lowly paid. Speaking from my point of view I know I am paid far more than my american counterparts in the same job profile.

I do not know if this has been posted on this forum..
But some of the testimonials are interesting for Students & STEM based EB applicants..
This is from Immigration-law:
02/14/2008: House Subcommittee Hearing on Status of Visas & Policies on Foreign Students and Scholars on February 7, 2008
The House had this important hearing that can have an impact on the employment-based immigration issues relating to the STEM foreign graduates in research and higher learning institutions. It is suggested that the EB immigrants in STEM to review the testimonies of witnesses in this hearing.
Purpose and Summary of the Subject
Testimonies of Witnesses:
:: Opening Statements by Rep. Brian Baird
:: Witness Statements ::
Mr. Tony Edson
Ms. Catheryn Cotten
Dr. Harvey Fineberg
Dr. Allan E. Goodman
Under the current political environment and a long pause in the employment-based immigration legislation issues in the Hill, this is indeed an important news in that at least the Congress is giving attention to the predicament the research and higher learning institutions are facing owing to the failure of the do-nothing Congress and the Administration to act on the matter.

I am in MD and 140- is already approved, 485 filed on 12th July at Nebraska, where to file EAD and 131. ?
If you have the receipt notice of I485, then find out the A# from it. Then apply for EAD and AP online( you need to fill A# at one place in both EAD and AP forms online). They can be applied together(online) but I don't know about applying by mail as I always applied for EAD and AP online.

You want him to work with GC or just want to keep him working. ?
Eventhough the GC application is denied for EB1, you can process EB2 or keep him O-1 or H1B. For EB1, there will be strict rules by USCIS. If your company didn't meet the criteria for it, forget about it. Do it in EB2.
We hired a scientist with O-1 visa two year ago (company provided all the documents). This scientist applied green card (EB-1) last year. This week he recived a letter rejecting his application. The reason is not about his personal qualification but is about the company. Letter says company had no publications although we provided the copies of US patent applications.
We are a small R&D company with no budget for and work plan for any kind paper writing. Can INS use "without publication" as the only reason to turn down the EB-1 type application?
This scientist is very important to our company. What shoul we do to let INS reconsider this decision?
Thanks for your help.

Its illegal by law.
-------------
OK. Assume that you decided to take the "better offer" by throwing the previous "better offer" and they trasnfer your H1, before joining them you will surely get another "better offer" in few months, because you are always searching for that, what will you do?
"Career growth is important and you have to catch the opportunities on your way." - I guess you misunderstood this.
I will not encourage this practice at all.

Hello,
I spoke to my lawyer today and she made it very clear that it is ILLEGAL to file more than one I-485 for one applicant (from 2 diff companies). USCIS will immediately ask you to make a choice.
THought I should share this information

I just wanted to post my recent AP experience through Chicago Airport. I travelled with my wife to France and used AP to reenter. Overall process was smooth. At the counter officer asked for all 3 AP documents, but I was carrying only two with me. Officer said I need to carry all three . Then they asked me to go to different office. They took out AP ( 2 originals) , 485 notice and Passport. That�s all. It took 15 minutes. They kept one original AP and gave second AP document with stamp. I asked what if I need to travel again..i have just one more extra AP document left? They suggested that I request more documents because they need at least two originals for each entry.
Did any one have same experience? How many documents they really need ? Has anyone asked USCIS for extra copies? How much does that cost ?
I may have to travel couple of time for business.
Please recommend
Thanks

Did you listen to the shutter sound-capture comparisons? Uzi vs bolt action. The Nikon can really crank the shutter.
