My H1B expired, and they are now just working on the labor certification process, so I have left the country and working outside the US. Someone did tell me that after I have been out for a 12 month period they may get me back under a new H1B. Is this correct? Reason I ask is that I have been out of the US for 4 months, and they seem to be working very slow on my Labor Cert, and I know once the this is submitted I have to wait a further 12 months, so wanted to see if it is viable to get a new H1B. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Two bills tackling this matter have recently been introduced. One is the Protect America's Competitive Edge Act, by Senators Pete V. Domenici, Republican of New Mexico; Jeff Bingaman, Democrat of New Mexico; Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee; and Barbara A. Mikulski, Democrat of Maryland. A similar bill was introduced by Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, Democrat of Connecticut. Several of the senators met with President Bush in December to encourage him to support the competitiveness legislation.
Hello stucklabor,
This is very promising news. We knew about PACE but another similar bill by Senator Joseph I. Lieberman just adds to the excitement. We should keep a close eye on these bills and maybe start sending communications to the lawmakers about these bills.
What do you say?

I just received this RFE on my spouse's I-485 application. It states that while the applicant's name is spelt **i**** on the application it is spelt **ee**** on the birth and marriage registration certificate. The RFE states that they require some sort of document to show that name was officially changed. In a following note the RFE states that the document (I would assume the green card) that the USCIS will issue will be issued in the name on the birth certificate instead of on I-485 application if sufficient proof of registration of name change is not provided. Only a copy of the passport will not be treated as sufficient proof and supporting documentation that the name was registered with authority has to be provided for the USCIS to accept the name change.
Did anyone face this type of issue. What did you do. Any information would be appreciated as I have no clue about how to deal with this. I will ofcourse consult a lawyer at the beginning of next week but would like some advice.

The only reason why the House hasn't given in on CIRA is because of the incessant pressure of restrictionists such as NUmbersUSA activists. Look at how active they are. Granted one has to be a Citizen to vote, but the first amendment gives us ALL the right to free speech and express ourselves. That is why IV is legal, and that is why the least we can do is a webfax campaign regarding Skilled Immigration (SKIL bill) AND show up at local meetings with Congressman.
Believe me, if we don't speak up, no one is going to do it for us. People like me with 02 priority dates are going to wait atleast two more years, folks who filed in 05 may get to wait 5+ years for their GC. This is the way things look currently.
The Illegals like the Chamber of Commerce, the big lobby Ag, Hotel/Travel, Construction, Meat-Packing, Industries, the Catholic Church and big ethic lobbies like MALDEF, La Raza, besides millions of hispanic votes.
The other side also has the power of millions of votes and a LOUD VOICE.
We have nothing compared to them. You can see we are small fish...that is why we need to do all we can to make ourselves heard.

Please take some actions today .... and prepare for many more actions next week
DEAR SUPPORTERS OF LOWER OVERALL IMMIGRATION,
Thanks to all of you who -- in the two weeks since the Senate voted for a massive immigration increase and amnesty -- have been regularly checking your Action Buffet for new actions and who have been responding to the several Fax Alerts that we have sent you.
Now, it is time to really start turning up the heat again.
I'm asking each one of you to do at least one of the following TODAY.
Members of Congress are feeling great pressure from our side, but we must really escalate that pressure if we are to totally block all the immigration increases in the Senate bill. Thus far, the Republican majority in the House of Representatives has stood firm against the national Republican Party leaders and President Bush. We have a lot of hope that the House can hold the line against the amnesty/open borders plan of President Bush, the Republican National Committee and nearly all Senate Democrats. BUT IT WILL HAPPEN ONLY IF ALL OF YOU DO WHAT YOU DID IN APRIL AND MAY.
There are a lot more of YOU than there used to be.
Last Saturday, our Activist Membership crossed the 200,000 mark! That means we have almost 100,000 more of you working together in this cause than we had last December when we pressured for toughening amendments to the House-passed H.R. 4437.
Action No. 1: Send all the faxes that have accumulated on your Action Buffet corkboard.
We can tell from the number of faxes that have been ordered over the last two weeks that many of you have taken a much-deserved break from activism and not been sending the new faxes we have posted on your customized corkboard.
Please go now to:
www.NumbersUSA.com/actionbuffet
Action No. 2: Tell us when and where your Senators and Representative are holding town hall meetings
You should see a thumb-tacked note on your corkboard asking for this information. When you click on the note, you will go to a page that will give you good instructions for how to track down this information.
There is no central place to find out when and where Members of Congress expose themselves to the voters. In fact, they try to keep it as secret as possible because they don't really want to have to hear directly from you.
That is why the town hall meeting part of our Action Buffet is so very important.
NumbersUSA doesn't have the staff to dig out potential meetings of all 535 Members of Congress. We MUST rely on you to send us that info on your own Members so we can share with everybody else from your state and District.
Click on corkboard note to send us town hall meeting information
Action No. 3: Attend any meeting or event where your Senators or Representative are expected to appear
Nothing you do will be as powerful as attending in person one of the events where your Members of Congress appears, and then asking a question or making a statement about immigration -- or even holding up a sign giving your view on immigration -- or applauding another voter who expresses your opinion on immigration.
You all have become great faxers and phoners. But we must have many, many more of you personally confronting the Members of Congress -- especially the ones who have Immigration Grades ranging from F-minus to B.
See your Members' immigration grades at:
www.CongressGrades.org
If you see a thumb-tacked note on your corkboard that announces a meeting of one of your Members of Congress, PLEASE LOOK AT IT -- and make plans to attend.
Get some friends to go with you to ensure that you will have a cheering section.
And be sure to use the feedback devices on our page that allow you to easily let us know you are planning to attend and to give us a report when you return.
Action No. 4: Call some friends or let us know that you plan to visit the local office of your Representative or one of your Senators next week
These Members of Congress must have voters in their local offices putting the pressure on their staffs to block the Senate amnesty and immigration increases.
If you are interested in doing this but don't want to go alone, send us an email through our Help Desk form and we will put you in touch with other people in your area who are trying to make a trip.
PLEASE NOTE: We have a new way of your communicating to us in which you cannot just hit REPLY to our Alerts anymore.
We are not trying to make things difficult for you. But with 200,000 members, our staff simply has not been able to keep up with your emails. We have hired two interns for the summer to help Jon and Jeremy. But we also must create a better system of categories if we are to provide the level of service we once did.
So, you should always communicate with us by:
(a) clicking on the CONTACT US link in the navigation bar at the top of our web pages. That takes you to the HELP FORM link.
(b) or putting this address in your directory and regularly using it:
www.numbersusa.com/helpform
On the Help Form page, you choose the category in which you are writing and send us an email that way.
Thousands of people have already started using this form in the last month, and it is accelerating our ability to respond.
======================================
Thanks for jumping into this TODAY before you move into your weekend family and recreation activities.
Then, please, plan to do something Monday and during the rest of the week.
We will be sending you additional guidance on how best to stop the amnesty -- or at least keep it from passing this month. The longer we can delay this, the better our chances are of winning.
Thank you,
-- ROY

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the response. I consulted attorney murthy, who advised me to file I-140 & I-485 again , explaining all the facts.
Attorney just put all the documents of denial, the MTR and the new I-140 application along with 485 with a cover letter that the denial was what we consider is erroroneous, so refiling with a copy of labor. I have to wait and see what happens.
Its rather a tense moment as I am on my 7th year extension.

SKIL exempts applicants with a masters degree from the US and 3 years experience from the annual quotas. This along with not counting dependents should bring considerable relief to even the folks who are still subject to quota.
See page 3 on this:
http://www.competeamerica.org/resource/h1b_glance/NFAP_Study.pdf
If per country limit of 7% stays, how much relief would it bring in terms of
priority dates for India/China born individuals?
I do not think there shall be any significant positive movement in Priority dates. Even if annual numbers go to 290K from 140K and dependents are excluded. It is about 4 times meaning if earlier we had 10K for India including sposes meaning 5K effectively, now it will be appx 20K effectively!
Think of number of applicants from India and China and think of the flood coming when all backlog is cleared! I dont think we should expect big jump in priority dates.
Am I getting too pessimistic?

I'm not sure the information is correct. You can add a spouse anytime before your I-485 is approved. Till that time it's a good idea, if you have a chance, to maintain two different applications. The difference is you can mention that you have a spouse in biometrics etc but you wont file for her EAD/ AP since she/he has a separate app since she is not a dependent.
In a nutshell " If-you-are-a-spouse-doesn't-mean-you-are-a-dependent".
If you don't plan to file as a dependent then you have to file two independent apps.
Don't get confused with dependent and spouse, these are two very different terms.
You would add a dependent before your I-485 approval depending upon whose PD is current.
PS: As usual all the disclaimer regarding of me not being an attorney applies. :D

Why the lawyer need some information from your wife ? ( she no need to apply any thing , since your GC is approved ).
I think best way to tralk to HR dept in your wifes company and explain them. that you will get GC soon. If they need some proof show them approval email .
If they ask to fill i9 form show the EAD as proof for employment eligibility.
New company lawer is not accepting EAD, even though we don't have written approval confiramtion
How to conivince him to use EAD unti we got the phisical card?

i assume you're using cross-chargeability of your husband's country of birth.
if that is the case, swiss eb2 had current pd, so you should get your gc in 6-9months.EB-2, 485 and 140 submitted in June 2007 concurrently, RD and PD both are June 2007. I borrowed my husband's Swiss nationality. Now 140 approved, AP and EAD got, but NC is still pending.
Just curious: When will USCIS process my 485? According to my nationality or my husband's? If it's mine, god, I may have to wait for 4, 5 years because of the terrible VB backlog! Is it after 485, everyone no matter which nationality, the processing time should be the same. All the world line up together. Please correct me if I am wrong.
