H1 doesnt work as you are interpreting. OP was working for 'A' and had a valid H1. At some point of time, he got a job offer from X and had his H1 transferred to X. Even though his new H1 is approved, his old H1 is still valid. It is valid as long as OP doesnt join X. Since the OP never left A and never joined X, he was always in status. OP -> this should be a simple case. Since you have documentation to prove that you were in status always and since you never joined X , you dont have paystubs and that should be perfectly fine as long as you never left A.

One time I travelled on air france, some guy a few rows in front of me tried to grope the hostess. The crew got his information and charged him with misdemeanor. I think the french are pretty sensitive.

Sent 5 more letters to President and copies in one envelope to IV.
Guys this is great, we can all ask our friends and colleagues to sign letters and we can all secure them by paying for the stamps ourselves. I am not sure my husband knows I have shares in the post office now, but I think he would whole-heartedly support it, and he supports what I am doing!
Look at Digital2k's amazing number at the front of this thread, now that is inspiring!!! Come on folks, let's get crazy on this!!! :)

First of all, the interpretation of the new provisions itself is subjective. Different interpretations, corrections, amendments to interpretations, etc will lead to another mess, after the provisions pass into law. As you already know, IV volunteers are currently researching on the hard country allocation issue, which may arguably worsen the retrogression for Chinese/Indians.
Let us assume that we are still able to pass the final provisions including the provision for amended soft country allocation. Imagine the number of applications that will flood the USCIS if the priority dates are adjusted to allow for all the eligible applicants. Do you foresee another backlog formation similar to the backlog centers that were formed for reducing labor applications and the mess they are in, currently?. Please note that the staff for USCIS will not increase, atleast for the next 1 year, until they figure out the volume of applications created with the new law and identify the magnitude of the staff shortage.
Even though I do feel that the existing retrogression will ease, if the provisions under consideration are passed into law; however USCIS will still keep some form of retrogression to control the flow of applications, especially for the EB3 category. In such a scenario, it is preferable that the USCIS allows the 485 filing and provides the EAD. EB3 applicants will be better off knowing that their 485s/EADs are in process/available, while waiting for the GC. So, even if the Eb3 applicant has to wait for 2-3 years (instead of the current 5 years) to get his final GC, he is atleast not dependent on his current employer.
I think, 485 filing ability is critical to the plight of EB3 applicants.
I don't believe you are right. Cut-off dates are not established based on the USCIS workload and its staffing, but rather on the predicted balance between demand for and supply of GCs. Therefore if worst comes to worst we will see a backlog at the USCIS level again, ie their processing time will go way beyond today's 6 months. BUt if the DOS believes that they have enough GC available to meet the demand in each and every particular quarter they will adjust cut-off dates accordingly.

DEAR ALL,
I was invited to post directly to the President-elect on his site change-gov and you can see my post here...
http://citizensbriefingbook.change.g...Pos=0&srKp=087
I request you publicize this as much as possible through your FORUM and ask them to VOTE UP on this issue on the Presidents site so that this is taken as a charter and presented to the President.
The complete text of the article under the TITLE: IMMIGRATION REFORM ALLOWING H4 VISA SPOUSE TO WORK is posted below for your immediate reference:
"The time to fix our broken immigration system is now� We need stronger enforcement on the border and at the workplace� But for reform to work, we also must respond to what pulls people to America� Where we can reunite families, we should. Where we can bring in more foreign-born workers with the skills our economy needs, we should." -- Barack Obama, Statement on U.S. Senate Floor, May 23, 2007
Well said Sir, and now as President-elect, we hope to see some action on above.
This issue I bring to your attention may seem trivial, but throws light on darker side of the life of dependent H4 visa holders, who are mostly women. And since you endorse women empowerment, I believe you will give a serious look at this idea.
Theres a strong lobby support for increasing H-1B visa cap to address the shortage of skilled workers. Theres also a strong lobby opposing it. This idea will satisfy both the lobbies. A very simple way to literally double the number of already available skilled workers in the USA without having to increase the visa cap. Allow me to explain....
Currently the spouse of H-1B holders, the H4 visa holders are not allowed to work. Most of these H4 Visa holders are qualified, skilled and experienced. In one stroke of the pen, by amending this tiny rule allowing H4 visa holders to work, you will facilitate thousands, if not millions of already legal & available skilled workers in the US, to work. Please note that spouse on L2 Spouse/Dependent visas for L1 visa holders (intra company transferee's), ARE allowed to work through an amendment in 2001. And this can be used as a precedent. Even J and E Visa spouses (J2, E2) are allowed to work.
Good For the Economy: While its now a norm to have a dual-income family where the husband and wife both work, its become all the more necessary for a family to just survive through these unprecedented economic times. H1-B visa workers typically stay on for at least 3 years continuously if not extend it for the next available 3 years. All this while, the poor H1B and his family have to get along with just one income. Moreover, the law also forces the skilled and experienced spouse on H4 to idle at home. This I believe is a loss of national productivity. Your statistics will prove how many H-4's are currently idling away in the US.
Good for the Community & Social standing of Women:
To keep the family together, H1 visa holders bring in their spouse on H4 visa. And then, they get locked in the house. Ninety percent of H4 visa holders are women. Women being, more susceptible to domestic violence by the partner, becomes even more prone to violence due to her complete dependence on the spouse. They become prisoners in USA due to spousal abuse and immigration policies that give their husbands complete control over their lives. Yes, the immigration system is broken. The immigrant women get protection under VAWA but non-immigrants are not covered. Even if a law to let the non-immigrant battered women to obtain work permit is introduced, it might not protect women whose cases are dismissed as non-critical. The abuser can further exert his control over the victim and convince her that he has changed so that the victim might not press charges. Thus the abuser gets encouraged to continue violence. Divorce is not an option because most non-immigrants come from third world countries where a divorced women has to bear the social stigma of divorce and will not be protected in her own home country. Because of the long queues for Labor certification application and retrogression of visa numbers, getting an EAD and Green Card takes longer.
Way Forward:
You plan to legalize people living illegally in USA (and working illegally), you plan to give them a low skilled requirement job visa, similar to the H-1B or L-1, only that skills required are low, and you will let their spouses work too. This will mean that the only resident visa holder NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK will be the H-4 visa holders.
As a tech-savvy President, you may also want to browse this issue on Google groups and hear the voices of depressed, frustrated and more often abused women, here... Oops. I am unable to provide you the link as it appears to violate the change.gov comment policy (?). The group title is misc.immigration.usa and title is Why USA should issue the dependant visa holders work-authorization? Theres another forum under immigrationvoice.org you may wish to look up. Thanks.
When people who have come to the US illegally will be able to work legally � the poor H4 souls (mostly skilled women) who have come legally and followed all the rules should be given a fair chance to contribute to the economy and better their quality of life. By a simple amendment, allowing the H4 visa holders to work, you will make a brilliant move, without upsetting those who oppose the move to INCREASE the current H1B cap. Please think about it. May God Bless America!

I hope this amendment will pass as it was proposed by important senators like, Chairman of Judiciary committee Mr Leahy, Mr Cornyn, Mr Hatch. This alters the equation completely. If it passes, the total EB & Merit based visas are 387,000. The total EB visas as per old system will be 230K.
Merit based system: 247K (147 for newly created point based +90 K to clear backlogs)
Employer Sponsored System (as per amendment) = 140K
Therefore 230K is available as per old EB system. Apart from that, most of the EB1 and EB2 guys and the dependents of EB visa holders will be exempted from numerical limitations. This is the proposal we should support.
So you mean to say that 230K will be for backlog/year and the people who already filed in the old system will also be exempt from the cap if they belong to certain EB1 and EB2.
If the above is true then we should be in good shape as % per eb category is increased and masters exempt.

And I am sure, If I might have asked that she would have put me on the hold to get an answer from her superior.

Not to dismiss your thoughts on this thread but lets move on and use your experience in guiding newer folks on this site in better helping our common cause.
We have seen a tremendous response to the Omnibus drive and with a collective effort we should be in a position to help the EB immigration situation.

in addition to the house republican leadership (Hastert, Boehner) and a couple other influential ones on immigration such as rep Sensenbrenner.
Majority of these sponsoring congressmen have a green (anti-immigration) rating, some of them having a green-red (mixed) rating. However, they're mostly red (pro-immigration) when it comes to h1-b or related skilled worker bills (this even includes sensenbrenner's votes!)..
I did all this search out of boredom, but more importantly to assuage my sinking heart. So it looks like with the sponsorship of 10 pro-skilled immigration republicans, and at least not-against-skilled immigration republican leadership, this represents a good sample of republican votes for the passage.
Question remains how and when this bill will make it to the congressional agenda now that the summer is here already.
I keep my fingers crossed.
