I have a H1B visa and was in US for 2 months. Now im back in India.
I got H1B visa from a no 1 company in India. Can i go to US again for another company using the same H1B visa. Can i do a H1B visa transfer from India.
If i do a transfer, will the company which sponsered the H1B visa create any problem.

A friend of mine transferred his H1b from company A to company B. He applied for the H1b transfer and then started working on company B. His H1b from company A expired while his petition was pending with USCIS. He received an RFE after 3 months. Company B responded to RFE but received one more RFE for the previously responded RFE. Now my friend fears that his H1b transfer petition may be denied. Would it be possible for my friend to return to company A and apply for H1b under premium processing even though his H1b with this company expired couple of months back? He has been working all this while on the basis that his petition is still pending with USCIS. Any suggestions or advise would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I have filed my H1 (premium processing)on 26th Sep and till now I didn't receive my H1 receipt.
What could be the reasons and how i Can track about my case.
Can I track my case? is there some number where i can call discuss about my case why I didn't receive my receipt
My Lawyer called the USCIS and they are saying that they are not able to generate the receipt number?
Is somebody else faced the same issue? what could be done now?

There goes the supplemental bill and any hopes of getting any relief by Feb 15th.

However, logiclife has indicated that there is a very good chance of CIR being debated in the Senate sometime in March so we should get ready for that now. Folks who were opposed to I-485 provision must be having a great day today. :)

Risker,
I am very glad that you brought this point. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than suing the DOL. We may not sue DOL on their inability to clear the backlogs, but we can definitely sue them in their utter and deliberate disregard to FIFO procedures (mind that some people with priority dates in 2004, 2005 have already got their labor certifications, but some with priority dates in 2001, 2002 are still stuck). When I read on the DOL web site that they have tried to maintain FIFO, it makes me feel like puking.
Some folks have pointed that the lawsuit is not worth, as it has little chance of winning. To me personally, more than winning or loosing, it is a matter of bringing injustice to the light, as Gandhi has said something in this line: First step against injustice is to make it visible. This law suit will bring public scrutiny to the misdeeds of the DOL.
Even if all the backlogs get cleared by September 2007, severe damage has been already dealt to our lives. Though I am close to getting my labor clearance (I filed RRI few weeks back), I am strongly in favor of continuing with the law suit even after getting the labor clearance.
Let�s get IV�s attention and support in this area. Let�s talk to AILA. Let�s write letters to senators and house representatives (congresswoman Lofgren may be good person to start with). Let�s write to media personnel. Let�s do whatever needs to be done to expose this insult and injury to the immigrants who waited in the line for years and followed rules of the game.
I would strongly suggest talking personally to IV leaders about this. These are folks who by now really have a feel about how things are handled out there. They will suggest the best way to tackle this issue and am sure with their mature guidance, this is a very simple techinical issue that can be resolved. You are literally just saying "SIR, I WAS HERE BEFORE. I KNOW YOU ARE BUSY AND POSSIBLY FAILED TO NOTICE ME, BUT HERE I AM, AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR LONG TO GET YOUR ATTENTION". honestly I dont think even USCIS wants to hurt you purposely, its just that the traffic of new PERM thing has overcrowded their desk and mind so they have shelved your applications unknowingly. PLEASE SHOUT OUT----THROUGH IV ONLY. let them realize that we have a strong organization and ONLY ONE STRONG ORGANIZATION.

People like bigtime008 are loosers.
They will think of themselves only. Characteristics of such peoiple are: Selfish
Instead of celebrating the greater good for all, they are just worried about what they are getting out of it.
These people join a group for security; but will always think only about themselves and will take every opportunity to demoralize the whole team.
We know BEC is an issue and there is sympathy for them, but does it mean we want to stop 700K people with families not getting a chance to better their lives.

Pappu,
I totally agree with what you have said. I think that we need to step up our efforts....if money is going to be a problem then we need to start threads for fund raising with a set target.

Look at last paragraph
We will be working very hard to try to get some meaningful H and EB relief next week during the potentially short "lame duck" session. It is not yet clear whether Congress will actually try to pass any appropriations bills or whether they will merely pass a "continuing resolution" and leave the legislating until 2007. We will keep you posted.

I don't think it bodes well for anything that is sent to the Table. This Senate Language Glossary has what "motion to table" means, essentially something that senate does not want to Consider. This Amendment(1249) is said to have been ordered "to lie on the table" not sure if it is same as the motion to table. But, I think we should hope for an amendment that does not have a table associated with its status.

I would recommend shusterman.com -- one of their lawyers Ms Najfabadi is extremely efficient, fast. Overall this lawfirm is very influential (with uscis, dos, senate, etc) and will help you out if you get stuck somewhere in the process and will get u out of trouble by hook or crook (upto the extent the law permits).
I would strongly recommend you to talk to the attorney I mentioned.

Make AF flight crew wait it out in some mosquito infested lounge for 10 hours before clearing their immigration. Call it something like quarantine for French swine flu or something. But do give them a bottle of water and enough spicy Indian food. :D
Repeat this at random for a few weeks. AF will be paid back in Euros :D.
BTW, I used to stay in France (and Holland 98-2000) and had a fairly good experience when I was there. Never really felt any racial discrimination. Only thing that they want you to do in France is try to speak French that's it.
I bear no ill will to the French or the other EU folks. This is a fight with the Airline and let's keep the discussion to that. :)

You may be all right as far as your discussion is concerned but for the following one:
1000 people * $20 each = $20 K. So that is not an impossibility.
1000 people donating 20 bucks each, dude you are day dreaming. If you are seriously into this law suit stuff, be prepared to speand MONEY, TIME, ENERGY of your own and not 20$ from your side.
Did you not hear about how Aman spent 60+K of his own. So.....
I contributed around 300$ till now to IV.
I am one of the several may be thousand who have been affected. I am not using this for my slefish purposes. I am trying to get the suppoprt of IV and its members for this cause. I am not disagreeing with IV in any way.
This is an agenda for a common cause for all affected people and I want everyone to support.
Someone has to sow the seed and start the process. Doesn't mean since I started the thread it is my selfish agenda. It is part of IV's goal to get justice for all people who are affected by any immigration issue. So IV is the right forum to raise this issue.

can we stop "the ombudsman" from posting messages that have absolutely no logic just pasted articles from right wing media/blogs?
who is he to keep us flowing in the right direction?
I am glad someone on this site injects a daily dose of reality - half the people that post are out to lunch, anyway!
Keep it up, Ombudsman! And let the whiners whine! There seem to be too many of them, anyway. Lots of people who come up with lots of "suggestions." Mostly nonsense, anyway. And then there are some that post messages in the news article thread that are simply wrong and inaccurate. Some people are still in third grade...they believe everything that they read. And believe everything that they hear on TV or the radio. If Chris Matthews or Bill O'Reilly is your source of accurate news or objective analysis, why, even the heavens weep for you!
BTW, there are people on here who think that "The Nation" is a right-wing newspaper! How retarded is that! Katrina van den Heuvel, the editor of The Nation, is no right winger!
check out www.mediamatters.org for another healthy dose of reality checks.

That is absolutely right. I would also extend the argument from the perspective of the sponsoring employer.
The excessively longer wait would make the employer biased against hiring people from retrogressed countries with similar skills/experience.
Especially since this is an employment based category, I believe your line of argument should work!
It's a valid point from ur prospective, but let me give u the example if the shoe was on the other foot..
I'm sure this is a simplistic generalization, but urs is too
* In 2001, 20 people graduate in retrogressed country and equally qualified 20 graduate in non retrogressed.. both aspire to land a US opportunity
* In a few weeks, all the 20 in the retrogressed country find opportunities among dozens of giant offshoring firms that quickly send them on H1 or L1 projects, within months or may be a year they are settled in the US and at most in 2003 their greencard process is up and running
* The 20 equally qualified non-retrogressed however linger in their homeland for years and duke it out till the brightest 3 manage to find a rare opportunity that only comes every several years.. those 3 finally come to the US in 2005 and may be start their gc in 2006
* Turns out (or actually it was known all along to people before they chose to came) that the US only gives 5 greencards per year and because they know qualified people exist in all countries and they don't want few countries to swallow the whole quota alone, they give 2/5 to non retrogressed and 3/5 to retrogressed.. only then do some people remember to cry not fair, well it wasn't fair to start with!
I agree a universal 7% limit for any coutry regardless of its population and number of college graduates is stupid.. the percentages need to be adjusted. But to tell me that the 3 unretrogressed have to stand at the end of the line behind the equally qualified 20 retrogressed who came here faster (and chose to come here knowing their homeland is retrogressed) that is really fair.. yeah right!

I was sick rest of the day.
I hesitate every day in doing things that help them. So far I have taken temporary decisions to continue.
It is mentally very draining!
I totally understand what you are going through, been there myself! Don't mind those people, keep going and do this for YOURSELF! Yes, many people will benefit from our struggle without having moved a finger, that is sad but that always happens, in every struggle, in every issue. There are other very sad things such as the visa lottery, or the 1985 amnesty which saw thousands of people from overseas come to abuse that even if they didn't qualify, and all those people got a free ride! But you know what? They are there and they won't go away. It is our choice to stay and not go away, and we have to fight for that. Together, we are friends and family at IV. That was evident at the rally! Times may get trying at times, but we'll keep going and succeed!
