I'm going to guess that the same folks in the Tea Party screaming about the deficit will somehow find this breaking news to be irrelevant. Of course, they also think the sky's the limit when it comes to spending on immigration enforcement. So much for being consistent. I'm in France until Sunday and blogging from my iPad. I'm having a little trouble with links so please cut and paste this link in your web browser to read te CBO report - http://www.cbo.gov/doc.cfm?index=11991.

Folks,
When an h1b transfer via regualr processing (california center) is pending...and say the person gets fired /layed off etc....
Can another h1b transfer be done with just the recepit notice and previous I-797?
What's the risk? Some companies are not willing to do premium processing even if the candidate is ready to pay the premium process fee.

Dear forum members,
I have a question regarding transferring my H1b. My scenario is i am on my 7th year of my H1b and it is expiring on Oct 2007. My current employer will be filing an extension of 3 years based on my approved I-140 in the month of June 2007. If everything goes well i will get my three year extension(2007-2010) by Aug 2007.
Question is
1) If i get a new job opportunity after 3 year approval ( start date will be Oct 2007) can i transfer it to my new employer by aug or i have to wait till the start date of H1 approval?
2) When can i start working for the new company?
Any response will be appreciated.
Thanks

House Democrats Try Softening Their Tone; Lawmakers Seek Republican Votes Amid Veto Threats (http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB119491416890790655.html) By David Rogers | Wall Street Journal, Nov 13, 2007
WASHINGTON -- Down in the polls, House Democrats are showing a little more finesse as they try to move their legislative agenda around the wall of veto threats thrown up by President Bush.
Cute is out; conciliation is in. Late-night talks with Republican moderates intensified last week on the Democrats' signature health- care initiative -- extending coverage to millions of working class children. Staff negotiations continued during the holiday weekend, and Georgia Rep. Nathan Deal, a Democrat-turned-Republican with expertise on health and welfare issues, has been invited in by both sides as a broker.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D., Wis.) last week abandoned a confrontational plan to pair defense and education budgets, which would have dared the president to veto both. Instead the two bills were sent separately to Mr. Bush, who could veto the education measure as early as today. Looking ahead to the override vote, Mr. Obey took care to preserve House Republican provisions regarding abortion, child vaccines and abstinence education.
The House is scheduled Thursday to take up an antipredatory lending bill that is a showcase of cooperation between the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Rep. Barney Frank (D., Mass.) and his ranking Republican, Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama.
"He called up and said why don't you come down to my office and tell me what you need to be on the bill," said Rep. Steve LaTourette (R., Ohio) of his own dealings with the chairman. Mr. Frank is a close ally of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and has urged Democrats to permit more Republican amendments as a way to change the political tone in the House.
"It's transactional -- you have to see what it brings," Mr. Frank said. "But Hubert Humphrey once said, 'Whenever I get cute, I blow it.' That's the same thing I'm saying: if you try to be too political there's a backlash."
That backlash is evident: Congress's approval rating has fallen from 31% in March to 19% this month in the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.
A year after returning to power, House Democrats are at a crossroads. The party's early agenda -- tougher ethics rules, a minimum-wage increase and more aid for college students -- is largely in place. To go further, the majority must overcome not just presidential vetoes but the often-crippling partisan bitterness left from 12 years under Republican rule.
The war in Iraq, which permeates Washington and again divides the House this week, makes that cooperation harder. As the president lays down vetoes, he seems to prefer a divided Congress that poses less of a challenge. And the Senate's filibuster rules, which require a 60- vote supermajority just to get a bill to the White House, are an added frustration for House Democrats.
Allies of Ms. Pelosi said she could do more to take the lead and soften the tone in the House by using her power over the Rules Committee to allow more Republican amendments.
Last month's floor fight over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act -- a controversial arena relating to the government's wiretapping activities -- is a case in point. The Rules panel disallowed all 27 Republican amendments. The minority retaliated with a procedural motion that successfully forced the bill to be withdrawn, and it still hasn't come back up for debate.
Ms. Pelosi's combative nature doesn't make such a shift easy. When the president recently accused Democrats of being led from the left by the anti-war group Code Pink, she saw it as a slight on her and responded in kind, saying Mr. Bush was acting less like "the president of the United States" than a "a junkyard dog on television every day because he has nothing to produce."
Going into 2008, the Californian said her party is well positioned on the issues most important to voters. Democrats think the child health-care fight is a long-term winner with bipartisan appeal. Party polls show her next priority, an energy bill that demands that cars be more fuel efficient, would appeal to independent voters. And tougher safety standards for imports from China is a third bipartisan issue that Democrats hope will improve Congress's image and is a reminder of Ms. Pelosi's early human-rights record on China.
"Nothing is a setback, we're going forward," she said, sitting in her Capitol office.
Ms. Pelosi's tough style borrows from her hero: the late Speaker Thomas "Tip" O'Neill of Massachusetts. Another Boston politician, and an O'Neill ally, Joseph Moakley, may be more relevant in Ms. Pelosi's predicament.
Mr. Moakley, a former chairman and long-time fixture in the House Rules Committee, lived by the maxim that he was in power to "say yes, not no."
"I always thought real power was the ability to say yes," Mr. Moakley said months before his death in 2001. "Because when I'd say yes, I found out they'd usually say yes back to me."

This is related to the experience letter and PERM.
I have been working with my current employer for last 3 years in software engineering role. Now I'm planning to move to program management role and planning to apply PERM from this new role.
1. To get experience letter for PERM, can I use the experience gained in my current company. What are the chances of AUDIT if I do so?
2. With my previous employer (3 yrs back) I worked in software and consulting role. Does this experience suffice for my PERM in program management role...Is it something the lawyer has to worry and not me..
Any answers are appreciated..Thanks in advance for the reply.

Folks,
I am trying to put together documents for my wife's 485 application. The birth certificate was re-issued a couple of years back (with corrections to her mother's name and including her last name which was missing earlier).
The lawyer says we need to put a good reason down for 'why a corrected birth certificate was not obtained until now'.
Do you guys know of a good reason to provide USCIS? Know of any reason which was accepted in case of your friends?
Please do advise. Thanks!

My wife couldn't get Xray on a failed TB skin test, because she was pregnant at the time we filed our 485. Our priority date will be current in August.
Should we wait for a RFE on her medicals? Or is it possible to go ahead and do it, and send an update to USCIS?
Given a situation, one way to dust a file is to send the medical with a cover letter.

Hi,
My H1B is with USCIS and my employer has received an intent to revoke.
I am planning to go on H4 and my questions are
1) Can my employer file for a new H1B ANYTIME regardless of whether my H1B is revoked or not? I heard that since i am already counted against the cap, it doesnt matter when the H1B is filed, once approved i could start work immediately. Is this true?
Or this can be done only till my earlier H1B is not revoked? And if revoked i will have to file H1B against the 2011 quota and start work from October?
Appreciate any response!!

My current AP expires on July 30, 2008. I am planning to apply for renewal in Jan or Feb 2008, which is 6 months prior to expiration. I understand that nowadays it takes more than 3 months for approval.
In case of emergency, Can I travel to India with my current AP while AP renewal petition is pending?.
Thanks for your help.
I do not foresee any problem in using your current AP, if your travel time is well within it's period.

My sister filed 1-130 for me in 1997. I am currently living in the US on an H1B visa and the I-130 has been approved. As requested by the NVC, my sister submitted her affidavit of support (I-864) and paid the immigrant visa fee. However, I recently found out that I should have filed I-485 instead. I was advised that I cannot file the DS-230 because I live in the US. Is this true? Which could/should I do, DS-230 or I-485? Is there a way to get the immigrant visa fee returned?
I will appreciate any advice.

My case is NSC>>CSC>>NSC and the received date is listed incorrectly on transfer notice....
Receipt Notice from CSC has correct received date of July 31st 2007
but
Transfer Notice from NSC has received date of Oct 12th 2007
Oct 12th seems to be the date when my case was tranferred back to NSC.
I have 3 questions for you...
1) Are other folks also observing this in their case?
2) Will NSC process my case based on Received date from (CSC notice) or their own transfer notice?
3) Whats the process to get received date fixed?
Thanks in advance.
