Immigration Law from Houston Immigration Lawyer - Annie Banerjee Has Just Posted the Following:
Today's Wall Street Journal has their main front page article on how H-1B quotas have not been used up yet and argues that the market should dictate the numbers rather than Government quotas.
Arbitrary quotas have been ruled unconstitutional by all courts in every domestic affairs except for immigration law. You cannot have quotas for segregation or desegregation, for diversity in public education. You cannot have quotas at workplace. We read in Law School that quotas inherently violate due process. But I had to throw my constitution down my office window when I started practicing immigration law.
When the colonists came to America, there was no problem, no quotas. White Anglo Saxon Protestants could simply come and work. Then as more and more Italians and Chinese came in, restrictions began to be put in from 1875 onwards. Chinese were banned because they were "Coolie labor" for lewd and immoral purposes. After World War 1, the Congress restricted immigration to 2% of their nationality already settled in America. Since there were no non white people in the US at that time, most of Asia and Africa was shut out from the US. This was done to preserve the racial mix in the United States. Since then a lot of restrictive immigration Acts establishing arbitrary quotas were enacted and still valid today. The Permanent Residency Process has quotas in both Employment based and Family Immigration. So does the H-1B program for bringing in the brightest and the best.
These quotas have risen from anti Immigration and Xenophobic attitudes prevalent in America. As the Wall Street Journal points out, why should a very bright person from say India or China come to the US to be treated as a second class citizen, at the bottom of the social ladder? They would rather stay in their own country which are emerging economies. Yet, as the WSJ articles point out, 35% of Microsoft patents were developed by immigrants, and the person who developed Google News was an H-1B from India.
Those patents will just go to India, and someday the children or grandchildren of these anti immigration forces will seek immigration to India.

Thanks for the reply.
Ok, here is the situation. I am the guy in this venture with all the business contacts and would have to involve in some email conversations with the clients and also visit them on an occasional basis.
I am willing to do this without pay and also appoint someone as CEO instead of me. Can I be the Chairman of the Board, and do this kind of work.

Hello,
My Present H1B stamp is with company A and expires November 20 2007. Now I'm with company B and with this I have my petetion (H1B approval) which expires June 20 2008. Now I'm travelling to India for my marriage and coming back September 8. I'm not getting the new stamp this time. Will I have any problem during the immigration ??
Also with my present papers, my wife would be attending her visa Interview on Sep 4. Will there be any problem for her at the interview ???
Thanks in Advance
Just make sure you show you approved 797 petition from company B ( for whom you are working ) at POE to the immigration officer so he can enter the correct employer in their system and also gives u the correct I 94 which should expire on June 20 2008.

My relative tried to get visit visa from Kuwait. He was there on visit. Embasssy rejected the petition and told him to go India and get the visa. Eventually he got it in Madras. Only residents can appear for visa interview. (residents means, locals or, those have employment or dependant visa and stamped residence in passport).
If they are staying on a resident or employment visa in UAE they have to apply at the US Embassy in Dubai. If they are on a visit visa in UAE, they have to apply at the appropriate US Consulate in India.

Yep. I watched it too. Nothing about legal immigrants who came on visas. Gonzales says "We are not going to sacrifice security and quality for production". So, coming from the chief himself...that says it all. What we can derive from that is...the mentality of USCIS seems to be to prolong the process as much as possible thus raking in the moolah for USCIS and at the same time defend their actions by playing the "Quality" and "Security" ball game. Not sure if anybody can change their attitude towards legal immigrants.
I saw the programme too....It was so stupid of Gonzales! If they are going to take 6 months to find out that a person is terrorist, isn't that stupid! Should'nt they find that out in few hours instead of taking 6 months or for that matter 2-3 years for security clearence! What to say! Just have to live with it!

I agree with you both on the points raised, but what particularly interested me was the stat below and also given that 'the labour market traditionally lags behind any wider economic recovery'.
" However, the number of people still on jobless aid after an initial week of benefits slid by 148,000 to 5.8 million in the week ended October 17. It was the lowest reading since March, hinting at some stability in the job market."
Bottomline is we are not in a L or U pattern( prolonged stagnation). Also given that the last quarter traditionally has a stronger retail growth due to the Holiday season, Whether it is a V or W shaped recovery is what remains to be seen.

It turns out that it was the photos. I had already sent it. So, don't know why they are asking again. I am resending the photos now. I had a question. Though it is simple, I don't want to take any chances as we are planning a travel soon. They have asked me to write my name and Alien number on the back of the photo in pencil or felt pen. I tried writing using a pencil and it is not readable. So, what is a felt pen ? Is the idea here that whatever is written on the back of the photo should not leave an impression on the front of the photo. Thanks for your response.

If IV is critical about the spelling... "immivoice" handle is still available...
I think if IV has regular updates, twitter makes so much sense for such a cause..
damn someone named islevista or something like that took IV and is actively using the handle :(

As i said would be better to convert this case to PP. You have only pending status, in order to file for a transfer you need to show that you are presently on a H-1. I am not sure if the bridge situation will work in this instance.

There is hope, but is it possible?
"Finally, there is another stop-gap proposalthat would �reclaim� 300,000 unused H-1B visa numbers as well as 250,000 wasted employment based
immigrant visa numbers and make them available in a floating pool as temporary relief. There has been a great deal of speculation that the House leadership may take the SAVE act and bring it to the floor before enough signatures can be collected to force a vote. The idea is that they would add some or all of these other proposals, or even amnesty itself, to the SAVE act to make it unattractive to the original sponsors�thus killing it.
It is doubtful that anything other than amnesty would kill this legislation.
There is a serious risk for the Democrats in forcing their members to vote
down an amnesty bill. That would undoubtedly alienate one of their core
voter constituencies.
If the SAVE bill passes, the likely result is that support for legal immigration reform will increase substantially. A number of members of Congress have said that they support legal immigration reform, but first want to see new enforcement measures put into place"
"Over the past twelve years, the INS/CIS has wasted more than 600,000 EB
quota numbers"

Hi,
My friend got his H1 last year for 2007-2008 and came to US in DEC 2007, he works for IT company. However, since he has arrived he has not been placed on a project and so no pay stub has been generated. He has been on bench for 6 months.(technically without a job but has H1)
Is he out of status?
Can he show that he is on vacation till he gets a project?
Is there any other way?
Pls help.
Thanks!

Hello,
I am on h1b visa (approved & stamped) and its expiring this Oct'10 (I-94 also expiring in Oct) and due for an extension but here's my problem.
Company A filed my petition in a wrong way in 2007 by showing the job title as "mechanical engineering position" though i was working as Analyst in IT. So if company A files my extension now how likely are my chances of getting my extension approved? as there was no amendment submitted by A for a change in my job title. The below are my options so would really appreciate if you all can suggest and share your thoughts?
1. Go for a H1B extension from Company A itself and if RFE/Denied, can i then proceed with a H1B transfer from Company B? Confused here in figuring out that if my extension is denied will i loose my status and am i eligible to file a new petition as a transfer from Company B?
2. Or directly go for a H1B transfer from a new Company B, this way will i have lesser risk in getting rejected?

I filed the Labor Certification since September, 07 and got audited in November, 07. The response was sent to DOL in November, 07. I have not heard anything since then. Also, my H1B visa expired in the early of May, 08. I left US on April 28, 08. I�m very frustrated and depressed, and the lawyer is very unhelpful. I got questions as follows:
1) Should I refile the Labor Certification with my current employer in the new position? How about the audit? Should I request to DOL to withdraw the application first and refile the new one? Will my PD be changed according to the new filing date?
2) What would be the best way about H1B visa? I was out of US for one and a half month during these 6 years of H1B period. I heard that the vacation can be recapped, and I will be able to go back to US in the mid of July, 08 due to the pending PERM application for 365 days. In this case, should I start filing the H1B recapture with the H1 Extension now since my application will be pending for a year by the mid of July, 08 (include one and a half month times out of US). Otherwise, should I wait and start the application in the mid of July, 08?
3) If my Labor Certification is pending again till the end of one year extension (in the case of getting the approval on one year extension), do I have to leave US again?
4) I wonder if I should wait outside US for a year until the early of May, 09. Then, reapply the new 6 year- H1B visa again. Can my current employer do that for me? Would it be the better option comparing to the H1B recapture and H1B extension? In the case of starting the new application, when should I start the application? I heard the new H1B cap usually starts around the early of April and will be filled up within a couple days. Also, I have to wait for one year prior to applying for a new H1B, counting the day that my visa expired. So, does it mean that I have to wait till the early of May, 09 to be eligible to send the H1B application since the application will be rejected from USCIS in the case of submitting it prior to the early of May, 09 (one year rule)? Will the cap be filled up by then and what will I do?
Anybody, please advise. Thank you very much.

Me and my wife are July 2007 filers. We applied for Ead renwal.
My wife started her own business and opened a LLC.

My question is when she aplied for the business license , she has given her SSN everywhere but how does the agencies know that this particular person is using EAD
Pls let me know
thanks
