PD - Sep 2002
Labour Certification approved - May 2005
I-140 - Not filed yet
I am about to file I-140 (PP) and I-485 concurrently beginning of June.
But looks like the the May 21st cut-off screws it up completely.
I have heard someone say that I might escape the new law if I get a Green Card before the law is enenforced on (10/1/2008). Does this assumption even hold any ground? Doesn't the proposed bill say that anyone who has filed I-140 after May 21st 2007 has to reapply regardless of where he is in the process.
Gurus please advice.

teddy the pun "multi-national managers(via L1A)" was intended. if that makes it clear.
anyway, the focus of this thread was about the president's immigration speech. Atleast the speech included the fact that illegal immigration makes a mockery of legal immigration. understood that any solution also must include finding a way on how to handle the undocumented people.
anyway, the speech for now might be just a start or more "kick in the butt" to let the congress know that they need to start work in CIR. when it comes to fruition is anybody's guess.
Thanks for clarifying !

Anyways, don't you think we should behave a little better in public forums? (I'm referring to the language in your post)
Well... I agree with you and please accept my apologies !!!

Do you have to go thru an accountant to start a company?
I started an LLC earlier this year. Much easier and less risk with an LLC. It is still early to say whether the company will make it to higher grounds or not. But I sure am trying. I have me and my wife as manager members. No employees at the moment.
Best of luck to you all. GC or no GC, we can still make the entrepreneur dream happen.

That's the last post I put here. Let this thread disappeared
Firstly I am not from India where most of your guys come from. Instead from Taiwan 2 and half year ago. As travelled much between Asia countrys, no much time staying is US office although I based here. Yes, my English is poor and broken but this is not a fake story, make no sense for me. Just kill the time???
When cops knock out your room, handcuff your hands on the back, force you stay down at the corner , if you could keep calm and state very clearly. I can only show my respect but unfortunately I did not make it. This is my first time. :( Should be the last time either.
Now the negative point is mostly from my statement, no matter whether you believe, the attorney told me drag with anger is battery. we think that's okay does not mean it is okay on the law. So I wish you guys be careful on this kind of play around to avoid any trouble. I knew you all have better english than me. so you could explain clearly :) But Same level, do it on your spouse is even worse on a stranger.
I create this thread just wish listen your opinion and try public view how much chance I can win the jury trail. Some of your advice is really helpful and I will take them.
My wife is writing the mail to DA and wish it helpful to my case. I will have several rehearsal with my attorney in coming weeks. Anyway, we will fight for the justice and not accept that ridiculous battery charge.
Any advice, please PM me, highly appreciated. If you suspect my honest, please don't waste your own time. Let's shut up on this thread and let it gone.
Thanks.

I guess the polling on PD basis is futile it will give people false hope....
Only folks with ND prior to current processing times can expect to have a chance at appoval...I see many people over here beyond the processing date window and are still hoping to get approved....
Let's see if this theory is right or not come september.....if only my lawyer had mentioned that ND over rides PD I'd have forced him to file on July 2nd and not wait till July end....
My bad....

Hey SoP,
Your point of ND vs. RD (vs. PD even) is certainly valid, esp. given the randomness of dates that the USCIS follows. However, three things to keep in mind are -
1. Last Aug and Sept ('08), neither ND nor RD theories worked, if you believed all the dates entered under .com. Approvals were quite random - some cases with ND beyond published dates were approved, which led us to believe they were processing in order of RD, but no FIFO was followed based on RD.
2. The dates published recently (09/15/2007 at NSC and 08/30/2007 at TSC) are as of June 30, 2009. It has been nearly two months since and an update is possible. Also, by admission of the USCIS, these dates are not exact, only estimates of what cases are being worked on.
3. Finally, these dates do not serve as guidance for IO to approve cases; they serve as an indication to us applicants as to which cases have been processed thus far. And they help determine if we can file an SR.

Yes. That is exactly what happens. Everytime a cut-off date advances in a certain category, a sweep is conducted of all previously submitted I-485s, and either continue their processing, or if processed far enough, approve it. If a category retrogresses, processing on the case may or may not stop, but APPROVAL IS IMPOSSIBLE if the PD is before the cut-off date.
--> Plethora of information. Thanks
Yes, it is exactly the same. And that means their processing STOPS before approval. The 50,001st schedule A, submitted in, say, June/July/Aug 2006, will NOT be approved until her EB2 or EB3 PD becomes current.
--> Let say 50,001st appl has been filed in Aug 06. Shouldnt USCIS pass on the info to DOS so that they can retrogress it in OCT? In fact they have been saying that it might very well hit the 50K number some where in OCT and thats why they retrogressed it with Nov bulletin
Well, that is what happens. For example. My PD became current with the release of the Nov 2006 bulletin (I have submitted my I-485 3 years ago, and have had 2 sets of Fingerprints taken). Processing was completed on my case over a year ago, but I could not be approved until Nov 2006, because of my PD.
If, god forbid, I am not approved in November, and EB3 retrogresses back 2 months, I will once again be stalled.
--> I am sorry and Thanks again for making me aware of this. What you said makes sense to all other categories but some how I am under the impression that the Schedule A which is a one time quota will be the same. Now I dont understand why they have to retrogress schedule A to 10/05. How does retrogression even apply to a one time quota? Its not like there is another 50k
visas that will be available in 2 to 3 months ( assuming congress hasnt acted on any )
Of course their petitions wioll freeze, this is ALWAYS what happens with retrogression. Minor processing may take palce, but approval cannot and will not be given.
The 765/131s will be approved, I have had 3 sets since I submitted my I-485. These do not require your date to be current, they only require that your I-485 be submitted.
--> Good, they get their EAD's and AP's. What happens when DOS takes the Schedule A category off of VB?
--> Plethora of information. Thanks

My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: CA
I have worked with a company on h1b from 1st jul to 12 nov in 2007 on h1b visa. They did not pay me for last 45 working days. My employer is telling about the following clause in in my offer letter:
SALARY: You will be paid an amount equal to a 70% basis of your bill rate based on the understanding that you will work with us for a period of at least one year. If you leave Company before completing 1 year of employment your compensation will be adjusted to a $55,000 per year basis and the excess amount paid to you will be deducted from the last two months of your salary.
Please let me know whether this is legal to have this kinda clause in offer letter. Is there any way to get my salary?
Thanks much!
anancish
CA Law very clearly states all employee dues including vacation payouts will have to be cleared within 72 hours of the employees last day. Unless you have signed any agreement to withhold your salary, your employer has no right to withhold the amount.
Even if you signed such an agreement and they withheld a penny more, feel free to call the DoL and your ex-employer will become an ex-employer

I prayed to God to make Wednesday as Saturday and Saturday as Wednesday for the whole world. But that did not happen. So do you think it proves God does not exist? :D:D
I do not think God really cares about a piece of plastic or for any man made issues. Man needs to handle his issues himself.

I also have a 3 year Bachelor's degree (BSc Physics) + 3 Year masters degree (MCA) from India. I would like to get it evaluated. Could you please let me know which education evaluation agency you used?
Is you bachelor and master degree in the same or related discipline? I read somewhere that the bachelors and master's will have to be in the same or related fields for it to be considered equivalent to US Masters degree.
I haven't seen one 140 get denied due to a 3 +3 education. Any evaluation agency will give masters equivalent. You can use any one of them.

I tend to disagrees with your comments, firstly please dont call this a stupid event, as a lot of young students strive to win this competition. In order to lead you have to follow, I have come across some smart ass Indians who love to talk and give directions, but they miss whole chunk of substance in their directions. (I don't mean to target you or disrespect any one else up here).
Your commments on parents motivating their childeren to strive for success in their lives, their is nothing wrong in that, would you rather have them go smoke dope and jerk around to waste their time? I am indian and proud to be, , above all proud that my parents pushed me to excel and do better with the opportunities granted to me.
However it is some desi companies who brought in the trend of lying and faking to get thie ways. But believe me , they dont get much further in their lives. I am glad strict restrictions are imposed on these companies, and the type of consultants they bring on board.
Is it fair that the person doing Masters from this country be put in the same boat as a fresh of boat from India?
Good Luck!
The famous quote is: You can only fool me once!
First of all, you dont have a binary choice in the matter such as either you learn 50,000 words and their spellings or go smoke dope. There is a middle ground here.
Secondly, why do I see in company after company, especially in the knowledge industry that a straight A student, like your Kavya here, working for a manager who had been a B- student who in turn works for an executive who was a C- student ?
Get educated ... that's fine. But dont get over-educated such that you are a cripple who cannot think outside the box. Too much education, too many straight As, too many spellings will make you incapable of thinking outside the box, taking risks. Anyways, that's my belief and my opinion and everyone is free to raise their kids in whatever way they deem fit. I for one, would never ask my 2 children to participate in any spelling bee contest.
As far as your desi company thoughts go, it has nothing to do with spelling bee topic. However, let me tell you this. By being holier than thou and telling other people "I got a degree from here and you dumb asses have never been to an American college, so get lost you idiot, this job here is mine..." does not help anyone. Also, no desi companies put a gun to the head of anyone - Indian educated or US educated - to work for them. And let me remind you, there is AN ENTIRE GENERATION of US educated US masters degree holders who had no job after graduating and have been to a desi company to get trained on the real-world software applications. I am sure you know some people yourself, just as I know some people in that situation. If the US masters degree made them super-duper smart, then they would not be knocking doors of desi companies for education after graduating.
I am no fan of desi companies, everyone here knows that. But don't preach a holier than thou sermon to everyone who doesn't have a US degree. Because your US degree isn't worth a bucket of warm spit when it comes to getting a job.

What would be their logic?

There is definitely something missing here. You are either not saying the complete truth, OR your wife is not supporting you, OR you are suspecting that she will testify against you.
I agree with you, i think he is in deep s.... and the whole trying to type broken English thing is also fishy (in my opinion its on purpose)!
This guy has been in the country for more then 3 years (at least - based on his h1 being valid till 2011 which means recently extended)) on a work visa and cannot communicate a simple fact that they were fooling around and he didnt intend any harm (if that is the fact).... HE must be really really good at what he does at work for his company to keep him!
But to give the benefit of the doubt and innocent until proven guilty - I wish him luck!
I really hope i m wrong in judging you... and seriously I wish you all the best if you are being honest about the whole thing.

The November Visa Bulletin will almost certainly look exactly like the October Visa Bulletin. The Visa Office has already warned not to expect any movement until the CIS gets around to figuring out how many cases they have and the priority dates of those cases.
