I have news for you (and the certitude with which you make your claims here are laughable). Computer science graduation rates in US went up this year by 6-8%, because the visa caps since 2003 remained at 65000 instead of 195000 creating some demand here. I personally know kids who wanted to go to Computer science, but went for other areas like health care because of the lack of offshoring/H1 etc. If the crooked Indian offshorers and fly-by-night operators are not driving down the wages, more americans will go to computer science, as they would go for a career as MD or Pharmacist or lawyer (almost all those careers need at least 6-8 years of college). They also know that professional associations like AMA or APhA wouldn't allow importing foreign workers by corporations/hospitals on a scale that H1-bs are imported in IT area
Very sorry to disagree with you. Kids here have a lot more well paying choices for career and computer science is not really the glamour area for them. Where do you get 6-8% number from? is it Bachelors, Masters or PHD graduates? What percentage of this number is foreign students? in my experience there was a surge of foreign applicants even at Bachelors level during the same period.
Kids choices here are guided by their interest and career opportunities. And interest is the foremost criteria. Your thoughts about physicians or pharmacists are not apple to apple comparison. People have been sick through out the history of mankind and there has been increase in physicians and care providers propotional to population growth rate. There has been no explosive growth in those areas. IT/semiconductors/computers have gone through a period of explosive growth. That growth rate slowed with the burst of 2000-2001 and the H1 numbers reflect that. Why are H1 numbers not taken this year? It is simply because the market has slowed down.
Based on my experience, I wouldn't say that Indian kids have any special skills in maths or science compared to americans. Contrary to what you claim, people are aware of H1s and offshoring(may be so much on the exploitation of L1) as they talk to friends and family and guidance counselors at school. Most of the IT jobs were Indian H1-bs are employed doesn't even need computer science or engineering degree. Some of the best architects I have seen in IT didn't have a computer science major. A green-horn from TCS/INFY with a computer science degree and pretending to be an architect doesn't mean he is the best IT professional available in the market.
A computer science degree is not a mujst but it should be in related fields of science, math or engineering. can you show me a pharmacist or physician who is an architect ? The guy who is hiring a professional will determine who is the best suited for his needs? If the guy from TCS/Infy does not suit his needs he can find the best guy available to him. You can not judge who is best suited for all jobs available. And in this economy if a person's skill does not suit the job he is out of the door pretty quickly.

Because you still need a visa to enter the USA (though you have an H-1B approval) and application for the visa abroad is not always easy.

it coul dmatter..if the histrionics of teh last 2 years are repeated...
that is actually true. My heart goes out to the people who were stuck at a date for an year and a half, and all of a sudden that date jumped two years...
I asked my lawyer this, and he said that per a USCIS (Pearson?) memo you can change the underlying I140, but it applies to the same person. This is called interfiling. He said some people have taken this to assume that you can also request that underlying I-140 be changed across applicants, and primary-derivative names be flipped, but he is not sure if this will work, he has never done this in any case so far, and its a grey area.

I just switched from Teleblend to Vonage. This is the first time and don't have any experience with them. I talked with them yesterday and their customer service is connected immediately and they are good (for now atleast). I was a lingo customer long back (before sunrocket) and their customer service is horrible. I tried to switch to lingo when Sunrocket was closed and had a bad experience with customer service rep that time too. I decided not to go with lingo ever (what every offer they have). I may consider go back to teleblend, if they have a good deal OR any problem with Vonage.
When you want to join vonage or customer you will have good exp. Try to cancel or select the option to cancel and see.

Guys,
I come from South Florida (MIAMI / FT LAUDERDALE /WEST PALM BEACH). Sun-Sentinel is a news paper major in this part of the world. We are expected to see a front page coverage about this turn-about by DOS and USCIS on july 07 bulletin.

My $0.02. This could be a pre-emptive measure on the part of AILA. There must have been some talk at the state department of mid-month regression. This might be a strategy to scotch that. Raise a ruckus and send a message that we are prepared to file a law suit. Who knows? We are mere pawns in this grand game. Whatever happens, I hope people keep some perspective and not lose sleep over this.

Good reasoning here. I truly hope it's true and USCIS realizes what they are planning to do..

I dont know why everybody started to spit on ohio law firm. They just pointed out some news that they got from AILA, right? Lets hope its just a rumor and USCIS doesn't proceed with this revised thing. I am pretty sure that wont happen. Dont worry guys, but dont blame everything on ohio firm. I saw this on several other law firms too.

Hi guys
Just now (12.30 PM EST) I got a mail from USCIS saying your application has been approved. I didn't do anything (never opened SR or contacted Senator) but last week I did had an info pass appointment which was useless. MY PD was Feb 2005 EB2 INDIA (The fun part is My AP and EAD are still pending for over 4 months)
Wish you good luck guys
Thanks again
Congrats ..

did you emailed to ombudsman also? any replies from him?
While a lot of people sending generic letters on this issue would certainly bring the underlying issue to the discussion table - the lack of "locus standi" would prevent ombudsman or even USCIS from acting.
Let me explain what I mean by the above statement - every case is different and is adjudicated according to the merits of that specific case alone based on applicable laws and procedures. So, investigation and even future policy direction can be only be based on specific instances of the entire case files and detailed specific reasons of how these cases were wrongly adjudicated.
So, the service centers and even the ombudsman is right in saying - we cant help till we have actual case #s

I have sent an email to the id listed on that site (osccrt@usdoj.gov)with emails from Capital One which says they are not in favor of EADs. Will update once I hear back.
Here is the response for my email sent earlier which I received today. Advices are welcome:
Dear Mr. xxxxx:
Thank you for your e-mail inquiry received by the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practices ("OSC") on March 25, 2008. You inquired whether or not an employer engages in unlawful citizenship status discrimination if the employer rejects an applicant for employment because the applicant possesses an H-1B visa and a valid "EAD".
OSC enforces the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. � 1324b. The Act prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of citizenship status or national origin with respect to hiring, firing, and recruitment or referral for a fee, unfair documentary practices with respect to verification of employment eligibility, and retaliation. Citizenship status discrimination occurs when individuals are rejected for employment or fired because they are U.S. citizens or because of their immigration status or type of work authorization. The Act does not protect all groups of workers from citizenship status discrimination. U.S. citizens, most permanent residents and temporary residents, asylees, and refugees are protected from citizenship status discrimination. Other classifications of workers like H-1B visa holders are not protected from citizenship status discrimination.
It is not possible to determine whether you suffered unlawful citizenship status discrimination based on the information you provided in your e-mail. If you believe you have suffered citizenship status discrimination, you or your representative may file a charge of citizenship status discrimination in hiring, firing, or recruitment or referral for a fee directly with OSC. OSC will review your complete charge and investigate to determine whether there is reason to believe you have suffered citizenship status discrimination in violation of 8 U.S.C. � 1324b. For more information on the charge filing process, please visit our website at - http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/osc. In addition, individuals may download the charge form from this website. Please note that charges of discrimination must be filed within 180 days from the date of the alleged discrimination. You may send the completed charge form to OSC via facsimile at (202) 616-5509, or by first-class mail to: Office of Special Counsel for Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practices; 950 Pennsylvania Ave., NW; NYAV Building, 9th Floor; Washington, D.C. 20530.
Thank you once again for your correspondence. We hope this information is of assistance to you. If you have any questions or need additional information regarding immigration-related unfair employment practices, you may contact OSC at 1-800-255-8155 (toll-free).

Conspiracy? DOS is part of bush administration. And since the president is dissapointed because of CIR. He wants a back lash from immigrant community?
Probably they wanted to raise $4.4 billions for border security through us. Since there is no need for that money now that CIR failed they are going back to status quo.

What should be the answer to this question on I-485 part 2- out of following 2 options for my dependents ? to me it seems #b is the right answer for my family members 485 and #a for me. BUt some how teh legal guys are changing this from #b to #a for my dependents!!
a. an immigrant petition giving me an immediately available immigrant visa number has been
approved. (Attach a copy of the approval notice, or a relative, special immigrant juvenile or
special immigrant military visa petition filed with this application that will give you an
immediately available visa number, if approved.)
b.an immigrant petition giving me an immediately available immigrant visa number has been
approved. (Attach a copy of the approval notice, or a relative, special immigrant juvenile or
special immigrant military visa petition filed with this application that will give you an
immediately available visa number, if approved.)
In your post both #a and #b are the same text. anyways. any updates on this one? I also have the same question

People go by "how the wind flows" - when they just see a few of us stressing out they think they must not do anything - simply because they think wind is not blowing. Unless people believe in themselves and have the capabilities to make right choices and independent decisions, they will always be influenced by "negative flow". This is something we have always been facing in the community.
Every member and a guest must take these efforts seriously. Make your own wise judgement and not get influenced by negative flow. The negative community can pull you down big time, they have the capacity to destroy themselves and the entire community. Laziness seems to be the major cause for the negative energy and it will be interesting if people have any other excuses

As I said before, I am never going to fly thru UK, even though I sill have a transit visa valid till Nov 2008. I can still feel the pain.
Yeah I would say get a direct flight to India via Continental or whatever else is available ( AIR INDIA would not be anyone's preference I guess ) rather than going through these idiotic countries.

In I-485, when we enter I-94 information, I am not sure which date to use in the valid field.
The date on my white EAD card expired already. I have a new I-797 which is valid until 2010. My guess is I should enter this date. Can any one please confirm?
Thanks a lot!
