As we move closer to an Immigration reform, even government officials agree that such major change is very necessary. Here are some remarks by Secretary Napolitano on Immigration Reform at the Center for American Progress:
Over the past year, as this Administration has pursued more effective strategies within the current laws, the picture of how exactly those laws need to be changed has become clearer than ever before. In the past ten months, we have made tough choices, and implemented significant reforms within the current legal framework�but they are not enough to create the system that we want or that we need. If we are truly going to fix a broken system, Congress will have to act.When it comes to immigration, I took an oath as Secretary of Homeland Security to secure the nation by enforcing the law and managing legal flows across the border. Let me be clear: to do this job as effectively as possible, DHS needs immigration reform.Reform legislation would provide lasting and dedicated resources at our borders, and provide some critical legal tools that we don�t currently have to combat smuggling organizations. For example, we need tougher anti-smuggling laws in dealing with the aggravated crimes smugglers commit�including assaulting law enforcement officers, endangering children, threatening relatives and abandoning people in the desert� hundreds of whom succumb to death from heat and lack of water. We also need to update current laws that don�t cover some of the new means by which criminals conduct their business. For instance, today�s smugglers and drug traffickers often move cash through �stored value� cards, which aren�t even considered monetary instruments under the current money-smuggling laws.In addition, we need improvements to the current law when it comes to interior and worksite enforcement. Dishonest businesses often ignore the civil fines for illegal employment now on the books because they�re so low. It�s also very difficult to prosecute these crimes as felonies because of the over-elaborate intent requirements built into the current statutes.

Sorry about the denial. I had a friend in the same situation. BE + MBA from IIM Cal. His I140 rejected too....for the same reason may be....even IIMs accept 3 year degrees and that is what caused the issue. The more i read about these things, the more I think that MBA is not considered equivalent to MS for the I140. Even though MBAs have more challenging jobs and earn way more than people with MS. It all boils down to demand supply thing. Many people in the US have MBAs but not MS.

My company applied my GC is EB3. I am on H1b and has close to 15 months of my visa.
I am currently in 5th year of My h1. I have 140 approved and I want to change my job due to my financial burdens..
q: Can i change job after getting 3 more years of extension? I meant, Can I transfer the H1 which was applied with 140 after 6 years of stay? Is there a possibility that current employer can do any thing?
Also, can i port the current priority date of green card and apply a new one in Eb2 future?
q: Based on the current labor and 140 waiting time, can 15 months will be enough to change the job and apply a green card and get labor & 140 approved?
if you faced similar situation or having information, can you pass me the same. Thanks a ton.

Hi,
I wanted to find out procedure for going back to H1B after being on AOS (work on EAD). I will appreciate any response from attorney or from the people already did same in past.
Current Imiigration status:
Worked for compny A almost 5 years. Company-A did labor, 140 and 485. 140 approvd and 485 pending over 2 years.
Last 6 months working for company B on EAD. Didn't do AC21. Good relationship with company A and they will never revoke approved 140. They will help if any issues come in future.
Have approved H1B for company-A since dec 2010 and stamped in passport.
My questions:
1- If 485 get denied, can I go to company-A and start working on approved H1B
2- Also, can I use approved 140 at company A (even 485 denied, since not working at A) to extend H1B for 3 years.
Thank you.
Sushil

Hi,
I just want to know as to will the Green Card process happen faster if the State of GA were to sponsor it?
Request you to reply soon.
Thanks
I have not heard of any specific quota for Govt agencies, maybe they have, can anyone confirm it?
I think there is no specific govt quota, everything goes through the EB process

Hi,
I am on Adv-Parole (with EAD) and planning to visit India in July 2010.
I know that UK and France require transit visa, but I was wondering whether I can fly via KLM (Amsterdam) OR Lufthansa (Frankfurt) without any transit visa ?
Will appreciate the response.
Thanks,
Venu.
if you don't plan on staying over in Frankfurt from personal experience no you do not need a transit visa.

Whoever you choose, please do not go to Keshab Raj Seadie. His office is at 146 West 29th Street, NY. Phone: (212) 571-6002. Aptly named website: greencardmaker.com should be renamed greencardsucker.com
He is another worthless desi lawyer. Stay away from him! Only interested in taking your money. Poor service and once you have parted with your money good luck getting any timely response by phone or email. I have had very bad experience dealing with his office and don't be fooled by recommendations on his website saying he is very responsive etc.

Any comments?
actually if you track the threads on immigrationportal.com, a ton of old-timers have gotten their GCs. A large number of these were EB3-India [2001-2004], so that 18k number does not look odd to me.
Does it look odd to you? Why?

I am on my 2nd phase of H1B visa which is valid until 2012.
I want to quit my job and go back to my home country.
How long after I quit my job do I get to stay here to wrap up and ship my stuff??
Does that jeopardize my status? I plan to be here for about 30 days after quitting my job. WOuld that be ok? or is it overstaying?
If I ever need to apply for a tourist visa in future will this jeopardize my chances of getting a visa then?
Thank you!
You have no grace period for staying after your H1-B status becomes invalid (which I believe would happen when you quit your job).

It is a case to sign in native language...
Well, if you forgot to fill the native language thing but signed the form, you don't have to worry about anything. Although the form is incomplete, the officer has no way of knowing for sure that your native alphabet is other than English... You may or may not get an RFE on this later...
Enjoy
