Employer B applied for H1B transfer and it was approved in september,2008.But I am still in the payroll of employer A and have not joined B yet(no paystubs etc). Employer A knows this and has not revoked my H1B (visa valid till december 2009 and have got it stamped already). I would like to travel to India in this situation (emergency).
I still intend to work for A after my travel.
1. Will it be a problem at the port of entry with my visa transferred to B,but me still being the payroll of A and intend to continue with A after my travel? (my H1B visa with A is valid till december,2009)
2. What supporting documents do I have to carry with me other than a recent employment confirmation letter,paystubs from employer A?
Currently, I am into the 2nd year of the first 3 years of H1B.I checked with my attorney and she said its ok to come back with the employer A visa.
Please let me know.
Thanks!

maybe you've been visiting it too often and your employer has blocked that site from your network to save bandwidth :) Ok, just kidding.

I was also put into "EB3-India" forcibly by my employer - they love to see me chained , you know !!
The only future i see for EB3 India folks is charge your EAD and do "W2 Consulting" or "1099-Consulting" and make money...... Dont worry about "future employment letters" or that "last minute RFE"... That RFE is not going to come before another 5-6 years at least. If by chance your time comes , then get a permanent Job and get a "future employment letter " from them.
The whole thing that i wrote above is absolutely legal. As long as you stayed with original GC sponsor for 180 days+ after 485 application and had intention to be with them ( that time 5-6 yrs back) had you got GC - You should be GOOD...
Get it going folks - that's our future :)
I don't see a future with EB3. If you have your EAD and AP and have a dream for future. Just use EAD and do it. Save money and in the worst case go to India or UK. But live LIFE WITH PASSION.

The DOS after consulting with attorneys and the Congress has concluded that EB visa numbers should spill over horizontally rather than vertically. Relevent legal clauses addressing this issue were posted by IV members yesterday. DOS now admits it's previous interpretation of vertical spill over (excess visas going to EB-3 ROW) was wrong. Can it be challenged or reversed?, Of course possible but very unlikely to happen in the near future in the next several months.
All said and done, I'll say vdlrao calculations with (sumagiri correction:) look credible.
Can you please post a link?

There was a Telecon held yesterday night ( 9:00 pm - 10:30 pm) on establishment of news state chapters. Some core members as well as some veteran State Chapter leaders participated along with us greenhorns (newbies). Me, Chintu25 and CagedCactus participated from Michigan. Regretfully since it was a last moment decision , more members couldn't be invited to participate.
I was active in the Telecon almost to the last (I hope). It was a highly educative and informational to listen to the IV Core perspective on State Chapters. Veterans also pitched in with their experience in organizing their chapters (some super secret recipes were revealed :)). Some chapter leaders for new chapters also introduced some great ideas. To the end, I started bombarding the core with lots of questions, and they were patient in answering all of those ( b/n 10-10:30 pm!).
Unfortunately these matters cannot be discussed in the public forum here as we are monitored by Anti-Immigrants. Ditto for E-mails and PMs as we have no way of verifying the authenticity of the other person. So please don't feel offended if your PMs and E-mail inquiries remain unanswered!
ONLY way to get acquainted with the 'inside news' is to participate in the 10/20 meeting, details of which are published below. Be there if you wish to remain in the know.
It was nice talking to you and others.
Thanks for attending the call.

Go on, you ass. And expect more people to donate.
Like I said before, you still need to learn how to use your head first. I never learnt how to argue with the stupid and no one can.
No one is donating for me.
Why are you so worried about the donations? Are you an anti?

Historically, 5 years for end-to-end GC process is not considered as catastrophic delay...
There is a good chance that 2005 PD might get approved in 2010 summer , even with current system unless USCIS looses more visa #s. So IV and all of us have to scream at high pitch and frequently so that no more Visa #s are lost. I think it is happening
2003 this summer , 2004 in 09 and 2005 in 2010 is quite possible.
Now if we all contribute more $$$ to IV we can expedite the above time table.
data indicates some movement in approvals for EB3-I in last 3 weeks. sorry IV , unless sorting issue is fixed, rich data is not of much use . Example: sort by PD's does string sorting instead of date sorting .
Cheer up ...it will happen

heard you loud and clear,
and usually take complaints very well.
but when someone only complains and spends time undermining us and our efforts elsewhere and when they return only to take potshots...i reserve my right. you are actively harming this organization by your actions and it's not hidden to us, therefore you are retarding our goals- and those will benifit all 25,000 here- active, passive etc. not every person is creating value here and that is the fact. your attitude is childish, i will say it again. it's childish because your purpose is not to improve things in any way or help us achieve our goals but to prove some silly point about how you were treated in the past. but this is the last time i'm bothering, i want to move beyond this. some of us have better things to do than lurk around and wait to score personal points. you have already stated you have no wish to contribute further in any way. so be it.
also know that free speech is all well and good. but no organization will allow it's forums to be used to undermine it's objectives. try doing it on numbers usa or alipac and see how long you last.
As I heard, the discussions on this forum do not come under "free speech" as these are not something that the Government is trying to regulate against the People.

Dear Sir,
Not convincing. 2006 was when Retrogression started. And it was declared HUGE only in 2007,8,9,10. Just because some Tom or D has forcasted that therez gonna be huge retrogression, we dont base our GC plans on that. Correct..
If everyone were to go with your logic, then I guess EB2 qualified guys must wait for .. well how many years, u tell us.. to apply in .. EB1 ".. And what shoudl EB3 guys do..
The point is, lets focus our energies on the main problem which all of us face, and not show any disgust on any one category. I know how it feels if someone is coming in front of me in my line.. But how can we stop them.
Lets bring attention to releasing those wasted visas, quota problems etc..
If equal spillover happens from EB1 to rest of categories, EB2 will affected immediatley.
Its personal choice if and when they want to start the GC process if there is an opporunity. I also didnt start my GC even though my first employer wanted to start the GC for me in 2005 and I refused for whatever stupid reasons...which I am regreting now

My employer sent in 30+ applications on July 2nd and said he doesn't know which one is my tracking number..but i guess i could use any one of those 30 tracking nos for proof, couldnt i?
Shd we be expecting rejection letters from USCIS per applicant stating the reason for rejection??? If not then what proof do we have for potential benefits of lawsuit?!? Confused :(

We have seen in the past years EB3 ROW got huge visa bonanza at the cost of EB2 I & C. And now apparently EB2 I & C is getting rightly deserved visa bonanza.
How about asking DOS to give similar visa numbers to EB3 I & C as a one time exception. I know people will say it is against law, but in my opinion law is fuzzy enough for this to happen.
DOS can give explanations like "Visa numbers will be given to oldest PDs or some thing". Per my calculation EB3 I needs 68K visas to move past 2003.
We (IV) may have to make representation to Secretary of State and try and convince her.
DISCLAIMER:- I am Eb2 and current in Aug.

Here is the status update from HLG website. Note the date. Anybody here at IV, agree with me, if it needs to be countered by a direct web fax to Congress.
2/12/2007 IMMIGRATION ALERT:
ADVOCACY ALERT: RETROGRESSION: WE'RE GETTING CLOSE
HLG has confirmed that the Senate leadership is comfortable with a proposal to solve retrogression for Schedule A occupation -- registered nurses and physical therapists. It was through grassroots advocacy that we were able to explain to the Senate leadership just how important this issue is. Thank you to everyone who made an effort.
We now must turn our efforts toward the House.
If anyone works with or at any hospitals in the following Representatives' districts, please contact Chris Musillo (cmusillo@hammondlawfirm.com; 513-381-2011 x223) ASAP.
Rep. Lofgren (D - CA) : 16th District - San Jose
Rep. Eshoo (D- CA) : 14th District - San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Cruz
Rep. Pelosi (D - CA) : 8th District - San Francisco and north
Essentially anyone who is located in the Bay Area and wants to see retrogression solved should contact their hospital leadership and see if they are willing to make a few phone calls and sign onto a letter. If they are willing to do that, please let Chris know ASAP. Chris can then explain exactly what needs to be done.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
We're getting close.

Just confirmed from IRS website I would not be getting the stimulus payment as wife is on ITIN. Missed out on the July stampede last year to get rid of the abominal H4. Looks like groups like FAIR have to engaged head on if any benefits to immigrants(any variety) are to be realized.

True if one want to die for Citizenship , But job market is not as great as here. One needs to be really lucky to be there and I also agree that its lot easier in life once you have a stable job. I have some friends who are well settled and enjoying a cool life. WHere as some are still looking for one and many moved back to US or Gulf once they got citizenship so it all depends... But Certain Citizenship of Canada is easiest compared to that of US and well respected too compared to US.
Kris04,
Appreciate your realastic advise, I believe its worth one dies in canada for citizenship. I would say CANADA is a great nation and citizenship is widely respected, on top of everything you are widely allowed to any country.
