Whatever the conditions put for immigration number of people to work in USA is increasing. Yearly there is 20 to 30% increase in F1 Visa for past 3 years . And 130k H1b applications also tells the story. Still USA is topmost market for India and China. USA depends on India and China. But opposite also true(India and China dependent on USA). The change of equation unlikely for many decades. Many European countries and Gulf countries are giving temporary visa and no green card. Still huge demand for working in those countries. Immigration is USA is for mutual benefit not just for country but also for immigrants. If dollar value goes down 20 rupees then outsourced jobs will come back to USA and Indian economy also will crash. So ,for developing countries welfare USA economy should be stable
Indian economy is not depend on the dollar value !!!! wake up ..Its not the IT companys any more ..there are infrastructure ,reality and services sectors which are driving india now...our imports cost more than exports ...

1) 10-12 years
2) 12-15 years

:(
You are one optimistic dude in EB3 queue!!

If I say that yes you can travel without a visa, will you believe me.........
Ask a travel agent man...
Yesterday they allowed without valid visa..... today they need a valid US visa.
We are not travel agents... You can get a valid answer from them.

After 7 + years of wait time I am thinking just sticking to the rules(or not using creating solutions like buying labor, porting etc not that I am judging any one) may not help me get GC in near future. Previously I thought may be it will take some extra years but ultimately I will get my GC but with latest USCIS misallocation of numbers for last year it seems getting my GC is simply a moving target.
I am proposing a solution which could be relatively easy but it does need help from USCIS and should not cause any major backlash (except from a few Eb2 folks). It is relatively easily implementable and I believe it is well inside current laws so nobody need not worry about breaking the law.
The solution is simple
Eb2 = B.S+ 5 years of experience or M.S degree
So the current Eb3 folks who accumulated 5 years experience since filing the LC are asked to apply for consideration of Eb2 category and USCIS has discretion over whether it can be granted (or LC is recertified as Eb2)
I am sure a lot of folks had thought about it and probably mentioned it but what I am proposing is to include USCIS in the discussion on how to achieve this. I am sure anybodywho has a concept of fairness understands Eb3 candidate waiting for 5 years deserves to be in Eb2 just by definition of Eb2 and he is not taking any new job which means he is not displacing any new american worker.
I am sure USCIS also understands that the laws are archiac so may be it is willing to help administratively. I am drawing this conclusion based on how it acted during backlog elimination centers..a lot of people were cleared using RIR in the end days and I am sure USCIS overlooked a few things there because those people deserved those labors and it wasnt their mistake for the massive buildup.
Similarly Eb3 folks are not responsible for all the Visa number wastage which would have alleviated this problem and the responsible party (USCIS) may do something in its power to correct this.
The beauty of this the porting Eb3 applicant will always be behind Eb2 by 5 years and gains 5 years experience to be eligible for Eb2. If Eb3 has enough numbers this is non issue but in case (just like now) Eb3 is falling behind there is an option to port it to Eb2 after 5 years of waiting.
I know it is a wishful thinking but I see this as a most practical solution on the table.

My student advisor asking me to show the I-94 Parole not expired, i didn't renew my AP last year since i was not going to travel.
Question is, do we need to travel every year to show the I-94 unexpired to get the FAFSA Loan

Hi,
My wife is waiting on her H-1B approval. She is on a H-4 currently. The company that sponsored her H-1B is an american fortune 500. This will be her first H-1B and she is in the USA for 11 months now. I have a few questions:
1. To apply for the SSN she would need the original I-797 and the I-94, correct?
2. After she applies at the SSN office, will she be able to see the number immediately (and wait for the card) ?
3. How long does it normally take them for issuing a SSN for a person like her? (H-4 to first time H-1B)?
Thanks in advance.
Sagittarian,
Did your wife work before in India? How did fortune500 apply for H1?Did they attach client letter during H1 application?

I am a passive reader of this forum for a long time and greatly respect knowledge and helpful attitude here,
I received the RFE on 485 for both myself and my wife. Currently we have only received the the email and notice will be sent to my lawyer
Details:
Company:A for Programmer/Analyst: and 140 is approved.
I was jobless for 3 weeks from Mid March and since then I have joined a decent consulting firm on EAD.
Now I have PERMANANT offer as s/w Dev with a big company in that I was planning to start from 5/4/2009, they are aware of the fact that they may have to give letter in support of my pending GC.
I am confused as to what should be my next steps:
Can I still join them?
What is the less risky option?
Keep working with current company? (I haven't informed them of pending offer)
I very much appreciate any help you can provide.

Can I open up a company while on H-1B? Can that company sponsor it's CEO's (that's me) GC in EB-1 category? After all, CEO should be EB-1. Can I then get some peons/servants from cheap countries on B1/B2 and pay them just per diem? Can I hire them first at my father's place in India and let them work at my father's place for 1 year and get them here on L1? Should I get them on L1-A or L1-B? My mom spends a lot of time in temples back home...can I bring her on Religious Worker VISA?

Assuming you have very good credit history - you may also consider getting Citibank PremierPass Elite card. It gives you 1 thankyou point for each mile - multiplied by the number of travellers when you book using this card. This is in addition to any airline miles you will earn.
I got $500 of gift cards (staples/sears etc.) and cash checks from encashing the thankyou points (roughly fifty something thousand) from my last India trip. This card has $75 yearly fee - but that is more than compensated by the 20,000 bonus thank you points they give for enrolling in the card.
And if you have a long layover like I had (7 hours) - maybe you could even consider one of those cards which gives you free lounge access. I have Citibank Platinum Amex. These cards require even better credit history than Premierpass Elite. Again - all these cards have yearly fee - but you can get bonus for enrolling which compensates for these. Mine has a $125/yr fee and gave me a bonus of 20,000 thankyou point for enrolling.
I typically go to india every alternate year. My plan is to cancel these cards every year and re-enroll just before I travel.
