Deecha,
1).I came to USA on L1-B in 2003 October and the I-94 was till september-2006.
2). Then i changed my Visa to H1-B in 2005.
3). I was asking my employer to file for change of status from L-1 to H-1.
4). Those guys filed for a new H-1 and sent it to a consulate in India.
5). I was not aware of this and i thought i am legal till september the expiration date on my Visa.
6). Labor got cleared in July-2007.
7). Thought i would file for I-140 and I-485 together and found out that my I-94 was expired since September-2006.
What is the best course of action here to remedy my situation??
Any advice or details of a great Immigration lawyer who dealth with such cases before would be of great help.
Thanks in Advance !!
You're in a tricky situation. If you leave the country now you could possibly face a 3 year ban on entry. If your H1 NOA did not contain a I-94 then you're possibly on unlawful stay. You could however file for a waiver with an explanation, but it is at the consulates discretion. I would find an Immigration lawyer and consult with him/her.

I disagree that substituted labors has really impacted immigration..Those labor certifications that were once filed were thought to be used for some one anyway. If the original applicant wasn't laid off or hadn't changed plans, he would still be ahead of the current pending applicants. It's not the biggest of our current problems.
Companies should not have filed GC for all the non-qualified idiots who are currently got ahead of us.

How many of you guys are taking infopass appointments? When you go are you going alone or both applicants (meaning spouses too)...
I'd go to the boston office....and if anyone goes there it'd be nice to know their experience...if it is of no use...I won't make that trip
RD and ND will be a question mark always....but my congressman to whom I had written a pathetic letter came back to me saying my case is in final stages and checks are done waiting for visa number (and I was definitely outside both RD and ND in August last year)...Dunno who to trust .....and then in Oct/Nov I got an RFE so what is the meaning of that....
Problem in contacting the congressman's office right now is that everyone is busy with the healthcare reform and immigration they don't care a rat's add about...

Hello All,
i concur with the aspect of filling a lawsuit, as it will create more visibility and put more pressure on congress. As it is congress is under the gun for failing to act on a lot of bills. Even though if it does not create instant results, it will definitely lead to some type of change in coming months. I am sure if we all pitch in 50$ each, we can accumulate good amount of money. Also we can use Murthy Law firm to file a lawsuit. Lets not forget the amount of visibility Murthy law firm is getting from IV. If there is a law suite filed through them, then they also get to share the limelight.
The point here is, we can get a discounted price on the service, also Murthy law firm is aware of our situation. Administrator what do you think?
All EB3 guys, stop complaining about EB2-EB3, it is about EB community. IF EB2 get some direct benefit, then it will be rolled down to EB3 as well. Please let us not discuss issues which separate us. Right now we should focus on unity and creating a mass number of high skilled workers who can SHOW up on rally's.
Thanks

I am trying to make my second $100 contribution using my American Express card but am getting this message below:
"We were unable to verify this credit card through our card validation process. To proceed with checkout, please verify the information you entered is correct or try a different card."
I have tried 3 times and there's no problem with the info I am keying in. Is there a problem using American Express cards?
am2006 you are a star ! I have used the AMEX card in the past and never had any problem, are you sure about the verification number (3 digit on the back) and the zip code, they usually match those to validate..just my 0.02, I'm sure you already know all of this...
anyway I could help to be the 20th contributor..please try with a different card if possible...

Can you tell exact wording you used in the letter of completion. I would assume that you need to have following statement in the letter.
"xxxxx has completed all the degree requirements"
instead of just having "would be graduating"
Do you happen to know anyone who has been granted visa with this document saying that the student has completed all the degree requirements? Also, if I get another document from my University can I add it to the file I have already submitted to immigration?

Alright this was not even a 1 mile marathon before you guys gave up.... With this rate even half way mark looks so away ..... come on people only this much fuel is left in your torso.... :p :p
Yeah now I have understood that why you guys won't win your GC cause..... because you cannot even beat me at a simple $1000 challenge ...how would you beat Senate , House and those millions of anti immigrants dollars .......
Keep watching this thread and do not contribute..... you will end up in the same position at work and see everyone else run over you.....

Guys chill out...go out for a movie or something.
This is not in anyone's control.
If EB2 visa numbers get exhausted, new visa numbers will be allocated again.
I'm pretty sure within EB3 dates are also going to move forward.

Thats true, In every system there would be some kind of exploitation and looking at that USCIS banned this. But there are many more ppl have done..
Many came on L1 and got GC Quickly... Many Port EB3 to EB2 and got Quickly... Many got Quickly due to error on USCIS part... Many find them-self in EB2 due to Work exp etc some say only Masters should qualify for EB2... and obviously get GC Quickly... Some Got 140 Premium and got GC Quickly... Now ppl cant file 485 and get benefits until date becomes current and 140 approved... List continues...
Some are legitimate and some are not , It all matters in how you see it and how USCIS sees it.
If anyone gets year 1800's labour legally through their employer I would not find it problamatic. If someone gets it illegally by paying money or something I would call it wrong.
Most people who escaped the common class were smart to identify the undefined territories of the law. So legal fine, ILLEGAL wrong.
If I did not get the benefits I would be jealous, obviously.

Any Updates on how many Masters students H1B visas have been counted. Last i read on this forum was 12,989. Any current news?

Harish,
In the initial update release by INS, it is stated that
"USCIS will reject all cap-subject H-1B petitions for FY 2008 received on or after Wednesday, April 4, 2007."
They are saying that they will reject and they obviously are not meaning that they will REFUSE the Courier/ Post the application materials received after this date. So, it could happen that they will accept all applications that are being sent but will reject only after they confirm that they have reached the limit.
So, what if Master;s quota does not reach the limit? so still might have a chance. So, try to find an employer who will be willing to hire you and sponsor your H1 under Master;s quota. So, if they have received less applications and start looking for the ones received after April 4th you might stand a chance.
One another factor is "You do not have a masters degree yet and you will not have it until May as you are graduating in May. So how will your application be treated as Masters" here is my thinkng
you will file with all the available supporting documents and you will make it appear as if you indeed are filling under Master's quota. Your application will have insufficient doccumentation and they will raise a query on your app. and by the time this happens you can hope that you will receive your degree, or you will delay it till the maximum possible extent and will send them back with supporting Masters Degree. Again these are just my thinking you might want to validate with some professionals as whether or not this logic stands a chance.
Even, if you do not get a chance to apply now. I do not think you need to defer your master. Go aheah and complete your masters as planned and accept the opt. You will apply for H1 in 2008 for H1 to start from October. Now, the question is about the period June - October 2008. You can enril your selves in some short term course, Kaplan has some which will also give you I20. So these courses will help you sail during this period.
Hope this long content helps!!!
