I found this interesting. Salaries for managers are becoming quite competitive in India apparently.
Given that certain areas are especially hot in India compared to the rest of the economy and that gives you a relatively strong position and quality of life. It seems the gap between US and India is closing for people in certain fields faster than it is closing for the average joe.........for whom it will take generations at best. Perhaps we need to see that perspective.

Hi,
Need advice from an attorney:
My I-94 expires in december 2010. I have an approved Advance parole till Dec 2011(I485 is pending). Is it required to travel outside the country and get a new I-94 ?
2. Is there a source on the Net that I can refer to that explains this?
Thanks,
AjaySri
You don't have to travel outside. it is still legal to stay in the country.

USCIS is increasing fees of various applications from 23, November 10
USCIS - Fact Sheet: After Public Comment, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Announces Final Rule Adjusting Fees for Immigration Benefits (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=5be73dc5cb93b210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD)
Is there anyway we can find the fee strcutrure that was inplace in 1999, 2000. Later there was an increase around 2001 i think. Then onwards every couple of years fee has been increasing continuosly for 129, 131, 140, 485, 765 . May be more categories that might be applicable for employment based immigration.
My point is if we can present the facts in a nice manner to IV core team, may be they can come up with a plan to shed more light, potentially plan of action

Looks like AGjOBS bill has good chance of passing. Does anyone know what the definition of agricultural worker is ?
Could one by considered agricultural worker if they are in landscaping business ? what about in agricultural sales.
We are about to see creation of huge black market for documents claiming someone is farmer if this rule is passed.
Can one be illegally working as Ag worker while on H1 ? :)
May find something here AgJOBS Amnesty Legislation Re-introduced (http://www.numbersusa.com/index).
AgJOBS amnesty legislation that would provide amnesty to close to 3 million illegal aliens was re-introduced in the Senate and House by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA; S. 237) and Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA; H.R. 371). The Senate passed AgJOBS legislation as part of its �comprehensive� immigration bill (S. 2611) last May, but the measure died when the House refused to take it up before adjournment. In addition, both the House and Senate saw stand-alone AgJOBS measures (H.R. 884 and S. 359) introduced during the 109th Congress.

If it is by and large the same business, their immigration lawyer will have to file some paperwork indicating the company has changed its structure and for the paperwork to be amend under the new name.

I dont think there is any way you can apply for GC right now. Once your parents are US citizens they can apply GC for you under family based immigration. Else you need to find an employer (once you get a job) to file GC for you under employment based quota. I am not sure about this but since GC is for future employment can an employer file GC for you based on assumption that once GC is approved you can join him? (in theory it looks possible but I dont think any one has done it. You can consult a lawyer) . But before that you need to find an employer who is willing to file an GC for future employment which is pretty unlikely. So I think you can wait and finish your studies and then see which option suits you better family based or employment based GC.

I If I accept the part, will this violate the terms of my H1-b?
Yes. Your H-1B only allows you to work in that position, for the H-1B employer.
Also, if I am approved for an EAD down the road, can I use the EAD to do acting work on the side?
Yes, however you will also need to use the EAD to authorize you to continue the computer programmer position. As mentioned above, once you work as an actor, you have violated the H-1B status and cannot use it even for the programmer position.

LCA(H1B) is for the Company and not for the Employee.
If you check your LCA your name will not be there anywhere.
It just gives
1.Location
2.Wage
3.Date.
I think you should be fine..

Wow, very interesting. Though I might experiment with cropping (first try would be cutting off the bottom, including the one bird down there, to make it more panoramic and [hopefully] make the horizon less centered), there's not really anything that I'd change about this photo. Good work, IMHO. :)

A hypothetical, but important debate on worst case scenario in changing job using AC21
================================================== ======
Assume changing jobs using AC21 has some risk, debate is what is that risk. I am not expecting response like pack up and leave back to home country as I already know that. I am interested serious debate from people who used AC21 and bought houses and simulated in American culture and have family reasons to stay in US.
Lets assume USCIS send some RFE and rejected 485 that new job was not same or similar. Now -
a) How many days I have to leave country ?
b) After the rejection of adjustment of status how many days I have to wrap up my current job or I must leave it same day when rejection letter received from USCIS ?
b) After those number of days can one acquire visitor's visa for up to six months to pack up stuff, house and family on the ground of rejection of adjustment of status?
c) Can one change status to some non immigrant visa such as new H-1B or F-1 by traveling back and reentering to USA ?
d) After the rejection of adjustment of status can one still port priority date in a new green card processing ?
f) I am also interested to hear feedback on what one can do to mitigate the risk of Ac21(I already know that use attorney's advise when changing job or donot change the job)

Since Senate passed the CIR bill last year, is it necessary for the Senate to pass a bill again this year?
If the House manages to pass CIR this year, wouldn't a committee (Senate & House members) meet and chalk of the difference and come to a common ground?
Pending legislation from last year were part of a different congress (house+senate), and all bills from last congress, that failed to become law, expired at the beginning of this year when a new Congress took charge. That's why CIR is being re-introduced in both the house and senate.

Hi,
I'm on L1B and wife on L2B with EAD and currently working. Both are expiring on Dec 30,2010. I got my H1 with COS, which is effective from Oct 01,2010 for 1 year and my wife got H4, effective from same time. My wife's company is filing for H1 for her and has already applied for LCA. After the LCA, they are not sure whether to apply for COS from L2 to H1 before Oct 1st or if they want to wait till Oct 1st and then file for new H1 with COS from H4 to H1. In the second case, she will not be able to work till she gets her H1.
Also if they file for H1 before Oct 1st with L2 to H1 COS, and if she gets RFE, then not sure whether the whole application is invalid as my wife's status would have changed from L2 to H4 during the course.
Please advice my options. Is it OK if her company file for new H1 with COS from L2 to H1 as soon as her LCA get approved with premium processing? Is it going to be a problem if she gets RFE?
Or is it adviseable to continue to be on L1/L2 till she gets H1? If yes, how can I change my status back to L1 before Oct 1st 2010? Can my company do it me? How long the process will take? I also heard that if I go abroad and come back, I will continue to be on L1. In that case should my wife acccompany me? Do I have to go out and re enter before Oct 1st?
If I change my status back to L1, what will happen to my H1? Will it still be valid? If I'm planning to change to a different company, can it be just transferred to that company and I can work there?
Please help.
Thanks
