I don't know how many people know this, but I have worked with 3-4 different attorneys and I HIGHLY reccommend RAJIV S KHANNA.
Firstly, Rajiv reviews EACH & EVERY CASE!!!! - you find it hard to believe ? - no, its true, I spoke to the guy atleast 3-4 times. I had a question and i called the paralegal, she just heard me for 2 minutes and said, wait, I will get Rajiv on the phone and Voila - he spent like 45 minutes answering my every question.
I told him its a great relief to even talk to an attorney directly. Also, a little known fact is that apart from immigrationportal.com Rajiv has his own website for his clients, its a protected site and he answers every question himself, its not a complicated site like his portal, but real simple and nice. He does not overcharge, his staff worked weekend and nights to file my case. I was calling their office even on saturday at 8PM and have always been greeted with a smile and with extreme patience.
Every time i have left a message or sent an email, they have ALWAYS followed up, no matter what..it can't get better than this...
I have had horrible experiences with 2 other attorneys though..they even took my money and DID NOTHING..

First off i take offence to my spouse being called a "Skill-Less Free Rider". That is by far the most offensive and ridiculous thing anyone has said about H4s. Most spouses on H4 are neither skill-less nor are they here solely for their Green Cards. Infact there are cases where the H4 is More qualified than the primary H1 applicant in their own field, just that it is not an H1b type field or there is no H1B quota etc.
It would be great if the moderators can please remove such offensive stuff when they get a chance. It is one thing to have freedom of speech and it is another to abuse that freedom.
If L2's can work then why not H4s is my simple point. I wonder if we can ask for these kind of smaller reliefs from the law-makers.

To give a simple example, our company is looking for people in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Canada and UK since the pool of qualified people in India has dried up in our field.
Can anyone guess where is the biggest talent pool? Nope, not in Bangalore, its right here in USA!! Not all companies are looking for the cheapest person. They are looking for the best person. And in many cases, the best person is already here, and has gathered more experience over the years working for US companies.
But they cannot hire her, simply because she is on a visa and thereby beholden to another company. If she had a GC, that would free up the talent pool and thereby make many companies less reliant on H1Bs.
Increasing GCs for EB candidates has the same effect as increasing H1 quota, with the added benefit of making the cream of the crop available and reducing the uncertainty and hassle of hiring an H1.
Please blog the above at One Easy Fix For Immigration (http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jun2007/db20070620_915353.htm).
To all, please blog clear + strong argumennts (like above) at the above site and all similar sites.

I was Dem leaning too, and I liked Hillary. But Obama has in no way been running the honorable campaign. He is using others to do his dirty job, if you think otherwise, you too have been sold on the propaganda of the left.
when obama made a sexist remark, what did the press do? Nothing. Let us see what happens if his opposition makes a even a hint of racist remark. I am sure then that the republican campaign will be pounded by every media outlet in the country.
Again, not to say I like republican ideology, I am very left leaning in my thoughts and actions. However at this time, I see that majority of the left is leaning towards Obama just for the sake of leaning towards left, and not on the merits of candidacy. And such thing is bad for everyone concerned (even the world, because like it on not, what happens in USA doesn't just stay in USA) -- Obama has already demonstrated that he is nothing but a political opportunist. His comments on Israel (I liked his statement, but not his intention) and the eventual recanting, and among many other examples, shows that he is just unqualified to be the President.
And for the records, McCain in not running for the job just based on the fact that he was shot down. He has considerable amount of experience working in the Senate and knowledge of world issues, and American issues too.
Give me a break. McCain is running a honorable campaign and Obama is running a dishonoSrable campaign. Can you give me an example close to the "teaching sex to kinder garden" sleazy ad from McCain camp?
What is the sexiest remark? Can you explain? Media pounding on Republican? Oh yeah we saw them pounding on Bush when he ran in 2004. I remember how the media ran stories of kerry shot himself in the foot to become president. And all those pundits asking 'who do you want to have beer with' stupid questions. And I remember the left leaning media pounding on the non issue pastor wright.
Obama is a political opportunist while McCain is a saint? Do you know who said this "I didn't decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to become president. I was sixty-two years old when I made the decision, and I thought it was my one shot at the prize". John McCain. And what does he say now "Even in retrospect, he would choose the path of retreat and failure for America over the path of success and victory. Behind all of these claims and positions by Senator Obama lies the ambition to be president. What’s missing is the judgment to be commander in chief." He is your saint?
Saint or no saint, we don't want 'drill baby drill" guys and "God is running this war" nuts in the white house. You will have more problems in the economy and useless debates on abortions. We need to push them in the right direction and demand them they carry through their promises. We may not have the right to vote, but the outcome of this election will impact us and around the world.

Let me reiterate that I am all for H4s being able to work and you guys should try unite for this cause.
I haven't researched L1 quota and its intent so I really can't comment further with respect to that.
Its unfortunate that legals and illegals are measured on different scales and it would be very unfair if they end up getting more benefits than us legals. I am not sure what you mean by illegal spouses? Either one is illegal or one is not.
I wish you the best in your search and would highly recommend exploring the unpaid internship possibilites in the interim.

Hi,
This is one of my friends case: Please guide him....
"My wife's employer filed for her GC during 2007 August rush for all of us. Her case is in EB3 with Feb 2005 PD. My labor is approved and filed for I-140 about a year ago and still hasn't been approved. Now, my PD is current based on yesterday's Visa Bulletin. Can I file another I-485 for me with a pending I-485 thru my wife's employer?"
Thanks in advance....
I think you cannot.
some where in these forums you can dig more...
PD Porting is applicable for the primary applicant but not to the derivative ( ie you ).
Please double check with your attorney, I wish i am wrong!

Logiclife,
IV is a voluntary organisation. You can request people to volunteer, but cannot force them or scold them for not volunteering. This is not professional. They might have their reasons and the right to work their way. I agree with your frustration when people who signed to turn up do not show up. But I feel this is not the way to express it.
Ram
It is a voluntary organization, and like any other voluntary movement unless people contribute their time, money & effort IV will not be successful.

Yes there is and it is called visa portability. :) this is for you as well piyu, do not jump into summary so fast.
Ok, Here's what law says about so called "transfer"
D. AC21 105 -- Visa portability
.....
gapala -
You are mixing apples and oranges.
Visa Portability (as per AC-21) allows one to start employment after filing for H-1B petition, before H-1B petition os approved.
H-1B Transfer does not invalidate current employment status (if on H-1B status) and beneficiary can continue working for original Employer A based on that I-797 validity dates.
OP needs to explain to USCIS that he never switched jobs on new H-1B approval and continued job on the basis of original I-797 dates. He was not out of status.

Yes, a plumber occupation would not qualify as a Highly Skilled occupation, it isn't on the list of in demand occupations. So - are you EB3 category? You need at least a 3 year degree for that (or if you don't have a degree, you need 3 years of experience for each year missing - so 9 years experience - depending on your unspecified "equivalent qualifications" - NVQ may or may not count, but I'm only guessing that this is what you have)
If you've been waiting 2 years, you have roughly 4 more years to wait imo, but to be honest, based on the info i have, I have doubts whether it would be feasible. If you can't get an H1B because your job wasn't applicable, getting an EB green card will be very tough.
I think he already cleared LC and I-140 and his case is at the stage of consular processing. Unless the consulate has the authority to question his qualification for an EB3 visa he may get his IV as soon as his PD becomes current.

In addition to monetary contributions, it would be helpful to call the office of your representative asking them to support the bills being proposed. The representative can be looked up by zip code (5+4 digits format) at this site http://www.house.gov/. If you reside in a representative's congressional district (based on zip code) you are his/her constituent.
Constituent's issues/calls/letters are given priority by the representatives over non-constituents. I became aware of this when participating in the recent lobbying activity. The more number of constituents that call, the more likely is the congressman to give importance to the common issues. The anti-immig groups have been doing this all the time. Now it is our turn to beat them with the strength of numbers.
Please contact the representative when the bills are being taken up. This is very important in order to get support for our issues.
More power to IV. Let's get this done.

I and my wife got our approved EADs in our hand in 17 days (Mailing day to USCIS to recevied date by us). Only strange thing is that my EAD is valid from 06/2008 to 06/2009. I thought the new EADs validity would begin when the existing expires. My existing EAD expires on 09/19/2008. I lost 3 months with this renewal.

I wonder at what point of time this "three years of U.S. work experience" applies from. Is it that you should have 3 yrs exp when you applied for labor or is it when you apply for 485??
3 years experience period. It is an add on to the point system, if at all the amendment passes. At that point, there would not be any of the labor-140-485 process. You will be exempt from visa numbers, who knows what that system would be.
