Hi, this is my situation:
- I have L2 Visa, because my husband has L1B Visa. This year, the visa expires and we have 3 new options: extension for L1 and L2 Visa, H1 and H4Visa or Green Card.
- In the other hand, I have my own business. I have and EAD (work permit) and SSN.
Questions:
1. Which of the 3 options do you recommend us to get? Why?
2. I understand that under H4, I am not able to get a work permit. Do I need a work permit to continue doing business by myself? Or it is required even to run my business?
Thanks

Having a green card would be your best option. By even asking this has an option, it looks like getting one would be a piece of cake for you.If thats the case good for you :) Many of us here have waited/waiting for 8+ years to get one.
If getting Green card immediately is not an option I would recommend extending your L1/L2. because on basis of your L2 visa you should be able to get/extend your EAD and be eligible to continue to work here.
As others said on H4 visa you cannot or are not supposed to work.

She is one of the pro-immigration leader and deserves a Thank You. Updated her Wiki profile with the below:
'Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren has shown exemplary leadership and conviction when she made USCIS honor the decision of July 2007 Visa Bulletin and again accepting employment-based I-485 (Adjustment of Status) filings. USCIS had earlier reversed their decision and had stopped accepting the application for adjustment of status. With Zoe's timely involvement and pressure from pro-immigration skilled professionals, USCIS re-started acceping the applications and thus avoided a costly litigation against them.'
Please feel free to edit/append. :)

Yesterday I got emails that both me and my wife's 485 were transferred to TSC from NSC although I am staying in Ohio which comes under NSC. It could be the load balancing I think. I hope it's good cos TSC is much faster to process 485 applications. Mine is EB2 March 2006.

I'm puzzled that there has been a slow reaction to the Bernie Sander's killer amendment that was disguised as a scholarship fund which has always been there and has benefited many Americans and the National Science Foundation. None of the faxes have been amended neither have the emails, we're asking for good things which are only likely to benefit a few but leave many others in peril. We need to find a way to cushion the effect of this amendment and at the same time highlight that the H1 program is not what it has been vilified to be.
Point is, if IV attains its goals on EB visas, there will still be many members affected by Bernie Sander's amendment. Of what use will visa number availability be to someone whose non H1-B dependent employer makes an economic decision to lay them off as they can longer afford to spend $250,000 a year + attorney fees renewing 50 H1-B's ? Given that this person would instantly be out of status (and find it difficult to find an employer rushing to spend $5k right away), the individual would have no recourse also given that they would not be eligible for a Z visa. Can someone help me understand why sticking to an old though good strategy and message without slightly adapting it to the current reality holds good promise for those in limbo by paying no attention to the effects of the Sander's amendment (pending at BEC, beyond 6th year renewal, I-140 not filed as of May 21st 2007 etc)
1. Any H1B issues affect employers more than the employees, so employers will make an issue out of any onerous requirement.
2. Any H1B fee is to be paid by the employer and is viewed as a tax and cost of doing business by the employer. Like any tax, it will mean cutbacks in other areas possibly existing charitable contributions to education or some such non essential cost.
I would expect Compete America and employers to speak up if they feel they would be affected by any H1B taxes.

A lot of lawyers do not charge money for every question you ask if you are their client. You can easily email them and ask questions or post on their intranet. It is part of their service that helps them get more business.
If your employer is their client, then of course the lawyer may not respond to you. Why should he?
My PD is August 2009 , and i seem to loose patience.....I can imagine how those people who have been in this queue from 4-5 years must be feeling........Lets hope for the best :)

I am about to start my GC processing under EB3 category. I know my chances are extremely extremely slim. I am filing for GC hoping that CIR or some other bill to clear GC backlog passes.
My question is .. How much time would it take to clear all the pending GC cases once the bill is passed ?
I am assuming 2 years. Am I correct ?
I read somewhere on the internet that a similar situation arised in the past (may be year 2000 or 2001), and when a bill was passed to clear the backlog, after few months (for bill signing and other paperwork) everyone with I-140 approvals were eligible to apply for I-485.
Is the situation that exists today any different than it was in year 2000 or 2001 ?
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Quite honestly, NO ONE can predict accurate wait times. Even, if some form of Bill gets through - it is anybody's guess as to how much time any of us will have to wait in order for us to be able to file our 485s'.
Expect to wait for a long time...

It is very clear that he did not want to give an answer about what is his plans for the legal immigrants. Seems that they do not care about us, HR 4437 is not for us, it is foe puplicity and Novemebr elections only. This is the way I see it.
Background: Rep. Ed Royce was on C-Span on Saturday July 8, 2006 to promote HR 4437. Here is the question I asked and his verbatim response.
Question: My question is on legal immigrants like myself who have been waiting in line for over ten years to get a green card. I see nothing in the House passed bill HR 4437 to support our case. What are you doing to move us unto a fast track and resolve the broken legal immigration process?
Answer: Illegal immigration is very unfair to people who wait in the queue in order to come to the United States. And frankly, all of these illegal immigrations is putting enormous strain on USCIS and other gevernment agencies. If we can secure the border through the legislation that I talked about then I think we'll take a lot of the strain off USCIS. And frankly, it will make the system fairer for those who have waited in line or are waiting in line to come to the united States the right way which is to come the legal way.
Comment: Unfortunately there was no room for a rebuttal. I would have pointed out to him that it is illogical to think that illegal immigration puts any strain on USCIS since USCIS only process legal immigration. Go figure!

http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum87-out-of-status-employment-gap-and-status-revalidation/908350-missing-pay-stub-in-past.html#post1255553
Summary - I have a valid H1B visa till 31 August 2010. I went for visa interview (renewal of H1B) on 25th Feb 2010. I was given 221g form. It was mentioned to submit few documents in the form. Documents were CV, job description, last travels to US in 5 years etc. I submitted those on 26th Feb 2010.
On 3rd March 2010, i returned back to US with my valid H1B visa and current I-797A. Got an I-94 at the Chicago port of entry with the expiration date of 30 September 2011 (same as expiration date of I-797A).
On 16th March 2010, i got an email from New Delhi embassy asking me to submit the passport. I replied asking if they need it for visa stamping. Embassy just replied with the same message asking for the passport.
The same day i called DOS (Department of State) and they mentioned that my case is still pending and they are not sure that why the embassy needs my passport?
I emailed embassy asking that how soon should i travel back to India. The NIV unit mentioned as early as possible.
Do you guys have any idea what is likely to happen when i submit my passport?

I dont know about other IT like SAP etc, but software and hardware majors like Microsoft, Intel , Cisco, Yahoo, Google are facing tremendous shortage of skilled labor. For eg:
My wife recently graduated in CS. At the career fair, if the companies declared they wanted to get resumes only from Citizens and GC holders, their booths were empty and were waiting for people to turn up to them. If they allowed F1 students, there used to be a big queue and even the citizens were happy to be part of the queue. Bottomline is in addition to skills its also company culture. Companies that dont discriminate by visa types grow faster and have better work cultures.
Also in a graduating class of 100 people, there were barely 5-6 white or african american citizens, 5-6 Iranians, 5-6 others, rest were Indians and chinese in ratio of 60 to 40 pecent.
When it comes to PhDs there were suprisingly again higher number of US citizens and chinese but very few indians which led me to think that americans go for higher education in very small numbers or their number is small in graduate school but they go all the way up and complete PhD. Where as most Indians and chinese drop out after MS which is good but not really innovative research.

With all this amendments going on with the Immigration bill and election round the corner I wish the immigration bill does not pass through since I don't wanna see a compromise kinda of bill, which may or may not screw us.
I don't see anything wrong with the current immigration scenario except delay, if you wanna immigrate then be patience else go back from where we came from, India is not bad.
Just to remind you all who read this message I am pro immigration but will not deal with a compromised bill..................... and I am with my I140 stage.
