Are you sure democrats are not listening to republican suggestions? Healthcare debate has been going on for over 1 year. In my 8 years in US, never has been so much time given to debate any single issue. Most of the key provisions in the bill were Republican ideas including tax cuts, coverage for preexisting condition etc. Republicans are taking bribes from insurance companies for stalling the healthcare bill. If democrats did not want to include republicans then they could have passed healthcare bill last year when democrats had super majority in the Senate, before Scott Brown's election. All throughout last year democrats have been trying to get republicans on board. Republican party have stalled the entire government. Now with no other choice, after debating healthcare for more than 1 year, republicans want to restart the entire discussion. This is appalling.
Keeping all tradition, Healthcare bill passed with with filibuster proof majority in the Senate. House passed their own bill with majority. House is now trying to pass Senate bill. Then House and Senate will do reconciliation of the House bill and Senate bill in the conference committee. Every bill has to go through conference committee. After conference committee they will again pass the final bill in the House and the Senate with majority vote. What is wrong with this process? Every republican senator was elected with 50% majority. No one asked republican senators to prove 60% vote. Why can't the Senate pass a bill with 51 votes after passing through the filibuster test of 60 votes when that is how others bills pass? So many large bills including Patriot act were passed with 50 Senate votes + 1 vote of Dick Cheney after the conference committee.
There was no immigration bill last year because of healthcare debate. Republican party is a party of no and they don't want to see anything done.
Healthcare is festering because a lot of democratic party members have been bought off by the insurance lobby and they want to "discuss , debate endlessly etc" to create a stalemate
and thereby kill the bill.
"debate endlessly" is another way of blocking
By the way thats how CIR gets killed and will get killed if tabled.
AC21 was passed in stealth as it was piecemeal...bypassing a lot of process.

May be I am reading it incorrectly. But this news (http://www.livemint.com/2008/10/08001058/Govt-mandates-EPF-for-foreign.html?h=A1) concerns me
New Delhi: The labour ministry has made it mandatory for international workers � both Indians working outside the country and non-Indian citizens working here � to contribute 12% of their salary (matched by an equal amount from the employer) to the Employees� Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), irrespective of the contributions they may be making to such schemes in other countries.
Does this mean that now if I am working for a US based company, they would have to contribute to Indian EPF on my behalf. That would put a lot of burden on them and essentially give them a dis-incentive to not hire Indian workers.
What are your interpretations?

SKIL exempts applicants with a masters degree from the US and 3 years experience from the annual quotas. This along with not counting dependents should bring considerable relief to even the folks who are still subject to quota.
See page 3 on this:
http://www.competeamerica.org/resource/h1b_glance/NFAP_Study.pdf
If per country limit of 7% stays, how much relief would it bring in terms of
priority dates for India/China born individuals?
I do not think there shall be any significant positive movement in Priority dates. Even if annual numbers go to 290K from 140K and dependents are excluded. It is about 4 times meaning if earlier we had 10K for India including sposes meaning 5K effectively, now it will be appx 20K effectively!
Think of number of applicants from India and China and think of the flood coming when all backlog is cleared! I dont think we should expect big jump in priority dates.
Am I getting too pessimistic?

We have had several wonderful members who have joined the chapter already. We are forming local networks in Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville so that it's easier for all TN members to participate in the chapter activities. Coordination of the activities will be done through the Yahoo group.
I'll be coordinating activities in Nashville area. So if you are from Nashville or surburbs, feel free to PM me.
Mahatma has kindly agreed to coordinate the activities in Knoxville area. If you are in Knoxville or surrounding areas PM him, he'll help us get organized. Members like him who already have their GCs and helping our cause is a real insiration to the rest of us.
We are in the process of setting up a network in Memphis too. Don't worry Memphiseans, you are in our radar :). PM me your details and I'll help you folks get organized. We already have some enthusiatic volunteers ready to work with in building local networks.
IV TN is not all Immigration. We are building strong network of likeminded persons. It will not only help us work with IV to solve our GC problem, but also spin off into future opportunities from the development of these network.
All in all, I really feel blessed to be working with this group of motivated volunteers.

The Congressional starter pistol on comprehensive immigration reform (CIR) has been fired skyward with the release of a 644-page mish-mash of proposed changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act that will both please and infuriate pro- and anti-immigration combatants in the Capitol and throughout the land. Introduced by Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-IL), the bill with three names (the ��Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America�s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009,�� the ��Comprehensive Immigration Reform ASAP Act of 2009,��and the ��CIR ASAP Act of 2009��) is the first sortie in the coming Congressional ground war over immigration policy. With the release...

I am planning to visit India next week. I have the I-94 which was given to me when I entered USA last time. In the mean time, I also have I-94 attached on the approved I-797 due to 6,7 and 8th year extension. My question is
When I check in at the airlines counter do I have to only submit the I-94 that was given to me at the port entry ?
or
all the I-94 that is attached to my I-797 approval notices.
Thanks

Here is my understanding:
Situation 1-
1. Get New Visa Stamped:
If you get a new visa stamped, you will be entering on the new visa. The consular will cancel your old visa at the time of issue of new visa. My understanding is that you can have only one valid visa of the same type stamped at one time. The visa stamp does not have an effective date and it only has expiry date. Again this could have changed with all the changes in the last year or so,, but in the past they would cancel the old visa generally with the wordings �CWOP� across the old stamp at the time of new visa issue. If that�s the case you will enter on your new visa which will have the extended expiry date.
Situation 2
2. No New Visa Stamped and entering on the old visa
I am not sure how this works; because the new H1-B extension you just got has the same I-94 Number printed on the approval card (on the bottom left side) as the paper I-94 you have stapled on your Passport. Once you leave you will surrender your I-94 that�s on your passport and get a new I-94 when you enter which would have a new I-94 number which will now be different from your I-94 on the H1 B extension. I believe this I-94 will take precedence over the I-94 that you have on your H1-B approval since that will now show in the USCIS records as surrendered. Again this is my understanding but an attorney can give you a better advise on this..
Hope this helps..

Here is my situation:
I-140 approved and about to file 485.
Employer says he can file only 485 and no EAD for me. But he can file EAD/AP for my wife.
Can I file EAD/AP for me separately on my own? What are the consequences from my employer if I quit after six months of applying 485 (by that time I would've got my EAD/AP)? Can he reject my 140 and/or 485?
Yes It applies to new employer as well.
Here is my timeline
on h1 to US in 2001
filed labor in 2003 approved
Filed i 140 and i485 in 12/2003
Changed job to another employer on 05/2005 using EAD
got married, couldn't file for wife's GC
Applied for h1 through new employer in 2006
Premium processing of H1 approved in 15 days. Got wife here on H4
approved for 3 years for using I 140
PD current as of June 2006, filed for wife's GC who came here on H4
EAD can be canceled anytime by USCIS if underlying petetion i 485 is rejected. Also, if you change job before 180 days and your I 140 is not approved, old employer can withdraw it. Its kind of risky to do AC21 before 180 days from i485 RD.

HI,
Starting from Jan 2010 there are new rules for getting the prevailing wage info. The turn around time for this in worst case is 60 days. Do you happen to know if there is any way to expedite this.
Also do we have to go through DOL to get this info or can we use any other means.
Any information is highly appreciated.

Even if your employer revokes (unlikely as he will have to bear legal expenses on an issue that he cannot win) your 140, it will have no effect. All you have to do is be ready with your new offer letter and maintain the labor wages in your new employment. In previous years desi companies used to reuse the labor by revoking the 140 once an employee quits. Now labor reuse also has been plugged by USCIS. You can peacefully go ahead and change your employment.
Any reason that you want to go back to your old employer? Why quit in the first place than...
I'm planning to go from consulting to Perm. If I don't like it I want to go back to Consulting. Would like to go back to the same employer as anyways my GC process is pending with him. Just trying to find out if I can keep that option open.
Will there be any issues if I use EAD to switch jobs and then decide to go back to the old employer?
Right now I've my H1 valid for 2 more yrs. If I use EAD to switch jobs my H1 will become invalid. Then if I decide to go back to my old employer what happens?Please advice me on this.
Thank you.
