Yabadaba,
"Moron" is an insult. I don't insult anyone. If you don't like my posts, just ignore them.
Regards,
The Ombudsman
Ombudsman is right. This is a public forum and if you dont like something ignore it. I personally find, Ombudsman's posts quiet interesting and good food for thought. They are put forward in a very professional manner unlike some people who use insults and sarcasm.
Cheers

This is what Ron Gotcher had to say about this wonderful organization:
Quote" Not even Congress has been able to rein in the INS/CIS. Repeatedly, they have passed legislation ordering the agency to produce reports on their backlogs - all of which have been ignored with impunity."
So, I think this is just another tactic to discourage people from getting the information thru FIA by charging some imaginary figure of $5k to get some basic information. This is the heights of Arrogance.
INS/CIS has become a rogue entity like Pakistan's ISI. No govt can rein it. :-)
I don't see any harm in coughing up 5k for the information which would help us all.
Count me in for the contribution.

Yes , its Free :D Anyway - lets talk with a 3rd person (maybe USCIS) and confirm. Its Free, if you read the EAD forms its clearly written that once some one pays $340 ( not other amount) it becomes FREE for ever. I just checked the EAD forms again before writing this post - let me PASTE from EAD forms if that clear the confusion.
Renewal EAD: If this is a renewal application and you
applying under one of the following categories, a filing fee
not required:
1. (a)(8) Citizen of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, or Palau;
3. (a)(11) Deferred Enforced Departure; or
2. (a)(10) Granted Withholding of Deportation;
4. (c)(l), (c)(4), or (c)(7) Dependent of certain foreign government, international organization, or NATO personnel;
5. (c)(9) or (c)(16) adjustment applicant who filed for adjustment under the fee structure implemented July 30, 2007.
Its free only for those who file I-485 ( Not EAD) under new fee structure. Thats what it says in point# 5. adjustment applicant who filed for adjustment under the fee structure implemented July 30, 2007 . Its about I-485 application, not EAD

Transfer H1-b (dont have to apply for a new one)
: THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG
I already posted this in another thread and I will post it again:
I am wondering when people will understand that H1B Transfer does not exist!
Everytime you want to switch employers, a whole new H1 must be filed.
People are always under the impression that because they already hold an H1, then it is easy to get "transferred" to another company.
In this case, the only thing you actually "transfer" is ...yourself and nothing else. The only advantage of already having an H1 is that you don't have to worry about the quota anymore, you are exempted from it.
Since you have to file a new case, approval can never be guaranteed and it is therefore always risky to switch employers (as soon as the new H1 is filed), without waiting for approval. Tricky stuff...
Check this from Murthy.com:
" Among the questions that often reach us, are those regarding H1B status and changing employers that refer to "transferring" the H1B. This term is frequently used, even by some immigration attorneys. The H1B is not actually "transferred" from one employer to another when an individual changes a job, however. We understand what people mean when they refer to an H1B transfer. We take this opportunity to explain the concept, though. This should help our readers to avoid misunderstandings as to procedure and requirements based upon the mistaken belief that the H1B is somehow transferable from one employer to the next.
�MurthyDotCom
When a person is on an H1B and plans to change employers, what technically is filed with the USCIS is a new H1B petition, reflecting a change in employment, generally with a request to extend H1B status. Again, with the exception of the foreign national employee, there is nothing that transfers from one employer to the other."

Jealousy is a human personality trait. It's present in people of other countries too.
It's ridiculous to attribute this trait only to Indians.
On a side note:
How do you decide the nationality of the crabs? Do they have passports??
Don't just copy paste something an imbecile moron wrote and forward to ur friends and colleagues demeaning yourself and fellow Indians.

As far as I know, if one goes to UK on a work permit, the spouse can start working from the beginning itlsef. The professional and the spouse get their automatic PR in 4 years just by being there. There are similar examples in other countries, but, the fact is that if we have to be in the US, we have to go by "their rules".
I admire US administration's guts to openly admit and declare that they are biased and work on a case by case basis or at will when it comes to looking out for their own interests, even in the immigration (Not to mention, they look confused as well).
For example, how is a spouse of an L1 visa holder anyway different from a spouse of and H1 ? The difference is that the US government presents the L2 spouses with an EAD at arrival and restricts the H4 spouses to home.
Well, I think we should take one thing at a time, and the current task in hand at IV is more than enough to comprehend and fight for, adding the H4 issue eventually may add value, but not at this juncture.

It does make sense that the overflow numbers are given to higher preference categories in single state oversubscribed countries. When you think about it, will that not be the most beneficial to United States? Who would you prefer .... and Unskilled professional from a ROW category or a skilled worker from an Oversubscribed country. I would gather it would make more sense to give the opportunity to the higher skilled since the benefit to US will be higher
The more I read this form, the more I become disgruntled with this community! To say that someone from a lower class of visa and not from an "Oversubscribed country" (and I am assuming you mean India) is less skilled and less deserving than someone from a higher class and oversubscribed country is ludicrous to say the least. Each and everyone of us (and I mean "legal immigrants") have our own skill sets and contribute equally to the American society. As long as we are competent at what we do, then we are all SKILLED in our own way. The only real defining difference among the visa classes is the level of education not skill. To suggest one is better based on education alone is arrogance and nothing else!
The U.S. immigration system is not without its flaws and despite the delays and frustrations, it is FAIR! The per country limit is to ensure that citizens of ALL nations have an equal opportunity to immigrate to the U.S. and not just a select few. The only thing that I have found unfair as far as immigration in this country is concerned is the politicians' focused efforts to do something for the "illegal" immigrants at the expense of the "legal" immigrants.
We are all in this together and the insults and innuendos that dominate this forum divide us so let's stop them and focus on the real issues!

Any bill that passes without an amendment to restore the 3-year extensions for H1B visas if a labor certification or immigrant worker petition is pending for more than 365 days will make it REALLY hard for most of us to get any kind of mobility, and make us totally dependent on existing employers, imo.
Nevertheless, thanks for posting - any positive development should be greeted with a happy cheer - at least there's cause for some hope.

Fragomen Website talks about the bill and the amendment to the bill to reinstate most of the SKIL bill provisions. Perhaps, this amendment will be considered in the senate.

Hi,
1. I am on L1 with current company A(with current i-94 expiring in Nov 2007). I got my H1 approval this year from consultant B and they got the I-797B. This document shows the validity from Nov 2007-2010. But I have heard people get something called I-797A which has a new I-94 attached to it and in my case it is not.
Here are my questions.
1. Can I start working for consultant B from Oct 1.(after quitting the company A with L1).?
2. What should I do since I have current I-94 only till Nov 15th 2007 and if I ask my current company A to extend it they wont do because I want to leave them as early as possible before Oct 1st.
3. Can my consultant file for the change of STATUS from L1 to H1B(the approval for which I have already received from USCIS) and then in that case it will have new I-94 attached.
4. Anyother suggestions what should I be doing so that I can start working on H1 after Oct1st here and then whenever I go back to India, after 4 or 5 months I will have the Visa stamped.
Thanks in advance.
Here are my answers, may be wrong use it at your own risk.
1. Can I start working for consultant B from Oct 1.(after quitting the company A with L1).?
No u cannot. Since u said the valid date is from Nov 07.
2. What should I do since I have current I-94 only till Nov 15th 2007 and if I ask my current company A to extend it they wont do because I want to leave them as early as possible before Oct 1st.
U have to leave the country and re-enter agin so that u will get a new I-94.
3. Can my consultant file for the change of STATUS from L1 to H1B(the approval for which I have already received from USCIS) and then in that case it will have new I-94 attached.
I don't think its possible, may be worng.
4. Anyother suggestions what should I be doing so that I can start working on H1 after Oct1st here and then whenever I go back to India, after 4 or 5 months I will have the Visa stamped.
Its illegal to work before the start date mentioned and also since ur I-94 will expire u have to leave the country.

Or why not cover both aspects of H visa (H1 & H4). Both visas come with their own set of problems, challenges, and disappointments for the visa holders. Besides, H1 and H4 go hand in hand and story on one is not complete without mentioning the other. If I were the film maker, I would seriously consider both.
If you only talk about either one of these visas by themselves, you'll be looking at only the half of the picture.
have you considered making a film on H-1b workers and their frustrations in the gc porcess? that might be even more compelling than H-4 workers.
In a sense, H-1b holders are also dependent, on the employer, who is merciless compared with the the H-1 holder on whom the H-4 is dependent.
