We are very busy these days trying to beat the H1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) rush. While we fell that visas will not run out on April 1, 2010, clients are anxious to get their cases out the door. We promise to deliver.
Here are some tips that may help our last minute filers. The issue today is a degree that has not yet been awarded. In the past, the USCIS has approved H-1B petitions (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html)for aliens seeking one of the 20,000 H-1B visas available to aliens who have earned master�s or higher degrees from U.S. institutions of higher education, where the alien has completed all requirements for the degree, and hence, has �earned� the degree, but the degree has not been conferred.
There is no reason to believe that USCIS will not continue that practice, so long as there is evidence that the alien has completed all requirements from an official at the educational institution qualified to provide that information. In the past, satisfactory evidence often was in the form of a letter from an official such as a Dean, Registrar, or department head, stating that all requirements have been satisfied and that the alien is simply waiting for the ceremonial conferral of the degree.
Be wary of letters prepared by unauthorized employees at the school stating that the student has completed all requirements toward a master�s degree, when in fact there are still examinations or papers to complete. USCIS is likely to question a letter that comes from a lower-level employee of the university. Be mindful also that use of such documentation when the student has not completed the program may be considered fraud. Also, use of such a document may result in the loss of the client�s chance at a slot in the U.S. master�s graduate quota since the petition likely would be denied on the basis of ineligibility at the time of filing.
More tips in later posts, good luck filing the H1's tomorrow.

Folks,
I got a RFE asking for a copy of birth certificate and bio info. I had sent my BC and bio info before while applying for 485 last august. I was hurrying up my lawyer to send the response as soon as possible.
My lawyer emailed me that since there is a spelling difference in the way my name is shown in my BC and in all other docs, I will be subject to additional security checks and there is no point in hurrying. Is this true or is my lawyer using this as a delay tactic ?
My name in my BC ends with .......iam and in all other docs ends with .....iyan. Should this cause a problem ?
Please share your thoughts and help me.
Lawyers can usually justfy some minor spelling mistakes and answer to RFE. Usually USCIS accepts BC name.
Based on inputs from my lawyer, there is some delay if such descrepency is there - he said that he can reply to such RFE and apart from delay there is no other issue.

Isnt the three year extension valid only if you cannot file your I-485 because of retrogression? Once you file your 485, you get only a year?
1. Labor Pending for > 365 days = 1 year H1 extension
2. 140 Approved AND 485 Filed & Pending AND Priority Dates Current = 1 year H1 extension
3. 140 Approved AND Priority Dates NOT Current = 3 year H1 extension
4. 140 Approved AND 485 Filed & Pending AND Priority Dates NOT Current = 3 year H1 extension
I guess, you will be #4

I would wait it out if I were you. Why the risk at this stage?
Risk/Benefit analysis is not in favour of anything but staying put if you ask me.
What if in the 8-9 months it will take to get to this stage, the EB3 date skips forward, worse yet what if they take a hard stand on conversion cases due to the number they are seeing and you get denied.
It all depends of course on your personal circumstances, but I can't see the logic in it.

Whats your point? This is not a medical forum :)
BTW, its PPD test and I know quite a few people of Indian origin who had to go for the X-ray. Follow some of the other threads on this forum as well.
You are little too quick my friend, I did not complete my post by the time you replied. I wasn't sure that others can see my post while I was still creating (typing) my poll.
I am trying to get a sense of how many people are getting positive reaction. I am hoping this thread might give exposure about people harassed by uninformed or under informed civil surgeons/ health dept officials about the impact of BCG on PDP test. I see different interpretation of test results.

You need to consider all possiblities
1) Best case scenario: Your H1 gets approved before Oct in that case no need to do anything
2) H1 does not get approved by Oct 31 & No h4 applied then I am not sure if you are in status or not
3) If you apply for H4 and then you have H1 approval and subsequently H4 approval. In that case least you are in status but you will have to go out of country and get H1 stamped to remain on H1 status.
I would recommend option 3 as that is safest option though it involves money and stamping hassale it is worth it.

my PD : 12-aug-2009
ON 23-dec-2009 case has been approved , based on the Visa Bulletin currently the are processing visas for F2A with priority date before in 1- JUN i think soon " within 2 month " it will become current and thus all unused visa numbers will transfer to F2B ( spilover ) if this happen i assume i will get my paper and interiview within 2011 .
AM I RIGHT ?????
any insight will be appreciated
100 % right. Have a nice weekend.

My friend will come from India on H1B first time to Atlanta Air port this weekend. His H1B was approved for year 2008 and his stamping was done in early 2009. His H1B is from small desi consulting company. What kind of questions he may face? Any inputs will highly appreciated.
The IO at the border post may ask similar questions that he may have faced (or he may have prepared for) when he went for the visa interview at the consulate...

"The mission of Immigration Voice is to organize grassroots efforts and resources to solve several problems in the employment based green card process including (a) delays due to Retrogression (visa number unavailability for certain employment-based categories) (b) delays due to USCIS processing backlogs and (c) delays due to Labor Certification backlogs. We will work to remove these and other flaws by supporting changes to immigration law for high-skilled legal employment-based immigrants. High-skilled legal immigrants strengthen the United States' economy and help maintain American technological superiority"

Moon mission is quite a technological jump! As per APJ, it all starts from looking into the sky and dreams....imagination, creativity.....
American dream is also lots of ups and downs....
Indians in IT and NASA are products of those dreams....
Nuclear cooperation between India and the US would change energy, infrastructure and development equations fundamentally...
All of the above impact us fundamentally as well.
Why STOP this thread as long as the context is technology, our future and life in 21st century?

Hello Everyone
I have sent a message to president Obama requesting his help by issuing executive order either to increase per country cap temporarily atleast till the EB backlogs gets over for india and china
OR
Issue executive order to allow visa re-capture to utilize wasted immigrant visas
i am waiting for the reply . i am not sure if i will be heard .
I had sent similar message to my senators requesting them to support the visa recapture bill . i got a call today from his asistant . He said they understand the issue and the senator is supporting the CIR this year . i told him that wont help the skilled immigrants, he said that the provisions with relief for legal skilled immigrants will be added into that CIR and passed .
when i asked him why not do a piece meal approach and pass smaller bills like visa re-capture etc.. his reply was that the anti immigrant groups will basicall y kill the bill . so he said that it is better to wait for CIR hopefully this year.
I said thank you for response and hungup the phone.
so bottom line is i guess we have to wait for CIR and if any good will comeout from that for EB categories.
