Gurus please help me with these questions:
1)- Do I need to wait for receipt to join new company? or I can join earlier?
2)- how many days after filing transfer we should get receipt for the same?
Thanks in advance,
Shilpi

then why are visas about to be wasted yet again this year?
after...they said all numbers were exhausted on July 2?
Because of NC what else?
i think it's not quite that simple.
there is no doubt that lack of numbers is a key key issue. but letting uscis off the hook when they have failed to process 269,000 Green Card numbers since 1994 is not kosher. that is >20% of the backlog right there.
Sigh... it's never simple...
That said, NC can account for nearly all of the wastage. Think about it, let's say the processing time is 120 days (well within target, and not at all bad for a government agency).
OK; recall that you can't apply until your PD is current (read this sentence again, this is a critical element of the problem).
Application #1 (made in first half of year, visa tentatively assigned from current allotment year) -> PD current, goes into NC.
Application #2 (can't be made in first half of year, because PD is not current, visa is not "tentatively" assigned from current allotment year, since it isn't expected to complete within the allotment year) -> PD becomes current in July, NC happens quickly.
Application #2 takes 120 days to process (better than target), but that means that (as expected) it isn't ready to be assigned a visa until after the next allotment year (so far so good, USCIS has accounted for this, and doesn't expect it to consume a visa from the current allotment year).
So application #1 couldn't consume a visa because of NC, and application #2 fell into the normal processing time, but this pushed it into the next allotment year (again, this is expected).
Early in the next allotment year Application #2 is approved, and consumes one visa from the next allotment year.
Application #1 is where the actual wastage occurs, since it is expected that an application filed in the first half of the current allotment year will consume it's visa within the year (and given USCIS processing time it would have, but it was stuck in NC).
So at any time, the USCIS is processing applications within their target processing times, but because of the fact that you can't file until your PD is current, the applications that would have been able to have consumed the visas that were not consumed due to NC delays, couldn't because their "normal" processing time put them into the next allotment period.
So why not let people apply before their PD is current then?
The reason USCIS doesn't let you apply before the PD is current is because there aren't enough visas and they would currently have ~3M applications in process, many of which would be abandoned prior to approval (due to the long delays, caused by lack of visas).
So, because of the insufficient numbers of visas, USCIS has determined that it is more efficient to restrict application until the PD is current; thus insuring that most of the applications that are going to be abandoned, are abandoned before they are filed (therefore reducing load on the USCIS). This seems like quite a logical decision given the constraints.
I am willing to bet, that the net result is that the USCIS can actually approve more 485's in an allotment year by wasting some of them at the end of the year (which occurs primarily as a result of the fact that USCIS can neither predict, nor influence NC duration), rather than dealing with the huge inefficiencies of having millions of applications on file (which would, however, insure that there were sufficient processed applications to consume all visas).
If either NC were predictable (and quick) or there were sufficient visas in each allotment period to meet demand, then there would be no wastage. You can beat on USCIS all you want, but they simply cannot control either of these factors...
Like I said... it is never simple...
Now, this thought is hardly original (I think that everyone who has looked at this problem comes to the same conclusion), but I think the most practical solution that we (as customers of the system) can suggest, that will provide partial relief (and has some chance of happening in our lifetimes); is to get congress to pass an amendment for automatic reclamation of visas from prior allotment periods. This would mitigate the problem of visa wastage, as this will allow a substantial portion of what would have been wasted visas, to be consumed by the applications who's PD became current in the second half of the allotment year, but could not be processed (due to normal processing time) prior to the end of the allotment year. Perhaps this reclamation could be restricted to applications filed in the allotment period from which the visas are being reclaimed (if this somehow made it more palatable to congress).
Of course, this does nothing to solve the problem for those individuals stuck in NC who are effectively "donating" their visa to individuals who aren't stuck in NC. Perhaps they will feel better (I seriously doubt it though) knowing that the visa that they didn't get this year, was not wasted...
my straightforward NIW application based on national interest service not exceptional ability (which may be more subjective) will take almost a year to process. wow....!
In Canada this would be expected to take 8 months to process. Like I said, the USCIS is quick relative to other bureaucracies...
uscis also takes the narrowest interpretations of any law- even when it clearly conflicts with the law's intent- then it takes a lawsuit to budge them- speaking from personal experience and the loss of 4 years in PD in an India line...believe me this is not an agency i feel like defending.
just my 2c.
I am certainly not asking you to defend them.
This isn't about defending or attacking USCIS, it is about determining the root cause of the problem, and doing that requires an emotionless analysis of the facts.
I have had IO's who were complete dorks (refused to admit me with a perfectly valid visa), but really, what impact does one dork IO have on the big picture? Absolutely nothing I suspect (and to be fair, the vast majority of IO's that I have dealt with have been very decent human beings).

Every airlines has its onw set of issues - u will get the pinch only when shit hits the fan. My bags were stranded in Dubai and when I reached Chennai I had nothing with me except a small bag with no clothes.
The agents told me - if you have Indian passport then Emirates will give you $$ compensation per day but if you have American passport Emirates will give $$$ per day. They reimbursed me for 2 sets of clothes and shoes and $50 per day for three days because my bags arrived one by one on the third and fourth day after calling them everyday and pressurising them. If we did not call them - the bags would come slower than that. In Dubai the bags were in hot sun and I had choclates inside and somehow the cover broke and choclates melted and seeped through and a I think you all can imagine how it is.
What I am saying is - things are good everywhere unless we get into issues. Things were good until Retrogression hit us here. Now we complain about difference in treatment - but earlier wenever complained.
What I am saying is - when dealing with things outside of your home country - you cannot expect or assume fairness to you.
I dont understand your logic :confused: Every airline can have its own set of rules that doesnt mean they have the right to discriminate. You quoted your bad experience with Emirates while someone else had a good experience. So now we know that emirates also has some discriminatory rules.
When there are issues you have to complain and make yourself heard. Why would we complain about anything when Retrogression did not exist in the GC process ?
I agree that you cannot assume fairness outside your home country(WTH you cannot assume fairness even in your home country), but I disagree that you cannot expect fairness. If you have accepted racism just because you are a minority in another country then I guess you are ok with the way emirates treated you. You have nothing to complain.

com 'on. H4 process is known as Dependent Visa. Let H4 prove the Credentials and Get H1 ..........
Yeah , For sure we all knew H4 is a dependant visa.
So we are denied work permit but we are not denied the freedom to ask or even lobby for changes in the Law.
But we didn't know that we are going to go through a painful process called Labor Certification which in our case is pending for more than 1675
days........
If all went well an H4 Spouse, who decides to get married to an H1B, would have faced an average of three year break in her career before she recieves her EAD. Now due to the huge backlog in Labor cert and the next awaiting Retrogression We are facing huge gaps of 7 to 10 yrs, which is almost unrecoverable, So IV Core pls understand and consider our issues as Real.
And getiing an H1 in fields other than Software is tough, but that does not mean that the person is incapable. An electrical engineer who had worked for 4 years previously in india in a well reputed firm was unable to get an H1b.
A Request to moderator : Please moderate posts which contain deregatory comments and words towards H4 Spouses.
Thanks

I am with Company A and my current H1 expires on Nov 2009. I got an offer from Company B and they are insisting to Join with H1B Transfer Receipt ( and not on getting I-797 Approval). Please let me know the following:
1. Can I join Comapny B with H1B transfer Receipt, can Comapany A create any issue here (like if comapany A cancels H1 Visa after I get receipt from Company B)
2. After I join Comapny B with H1B Receipt , and I get 1 payslip from Company B , Can I go to India and Come back to US with Visa Stamped (from Company A) and H1B Transfer Receipt from Company B ( Note I still may not have I-797 Approval Notice)
Regards

Or why not cover both aspects of H visa (H1 & H4). Both visas come with their own set of problems, challenges, and disappointments for the visa holders. Besides, H1 and H4 go hand in hand and story on one is not complete without mentioning the other. If I were the film maker, I would seriously consider both.
If you only talk about either one of these visas by themselves, you'll be looking at only the half of the picture.
have you considered making a film on H-1b workers and their frustrations in the gc porcess? that might be even more compelling than H-4 workers.
In a sense, H-1b holders are also dependent, on the employer, who is merciless compared with the the H-1 holder on whom the H-4 is dependent.

I agree its a great idea, still most of crowd don't understand what are we asking and relates us to un-documented workers.
Even within legal community most people who are pre-gc stage (H1/LE Etc) they don't have any interest; ppl came to me at work after rally to tell me that they are 4-5 years away from my situation so they didn't feel attending rally. Bigger the better, we need big crowd, NJ/NY/MD/DC/VA are worthless. We can try doing rally in Houston, TX area, we may find dedicated people there. But I feel it will be very tough to show heads rally in big numbers.
