Hi All,
I got my COS from H4 to F1 approved in first semester itself (Fed-2010), now my questions is I don�t have plans for going to India in next couple of years so after completing my masters can I apply for OPT without having the F1 Visa stamping OR should I have to get F1 Visa stamping in India in order to get the OPT after my masters.
my wife got OPT based on COS from H4 to F1 (no stamping).

Those of you planning to reach the 485/EAD "heaven". Please have a look at this
link suggesting you apply for EAD 6 months in advance.
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=1847c9ee2f82b010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=1847c9ee2f82b010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD
Apply too early and you are screwed by an early approval that will render your EAD valid for just 6 months(my last 2 were approved within 2 weeks). Apply too late and risk unauthorised work and or having to get fired/stay off the job.
All this just weeks after they removed the ability to get an emergency 90 day EAD at the local field offices if they delayed more than 90 days.
The USCIS is getting very mean with those of us waiting in the legal queue in my view. A lot is going on behind the scenes, I hope we are not all made scapegoats of dumb policy in the end.

Hi,
My I140 is approved and I485 is pending. I am working Full Time as a Software Devloper on EAD with a Consulting Company. I have been offered a part time work of same nature by my friend. He has a company and he offers to pay me on 1099.
Would it be ok to work part time(15 Hrs. per week) and accept payment on 1099.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Nid
In EAD, you can have as many jobs as you can (using 1099 etc).

According to KPBS, A bill to strengthen the U.S.-Mexico border could be a mixed blessing for San Diego. That's because paying for more for border security will require a hike in H1B visas.
The H-1B is a non-immigrant visa in the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act, section 101(a)(15)(H). It allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. If a foreign worker in H-1B status quits or is dismissed from the sponsoring employer, the worker can apply for a change of status to another non-immigrant status, find another employer (subject to application for adjustment of status and/or change of visa), or must leave the US.
The regulations define a �specialty occupation� as requiring theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge in a field of human endeavor including, but not limited to, architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, biotechnology, medicine and health, education, law, accounting, business specialties, theology, and the arts, and requiring the attainment of a bachelor�s degree or its equivalent as a minimum (with the exception of fashion models, who must be "of distinguished merit and ability".) Likewise, the foreign worker must possess at least a bachelor�s degree or its equivalent and state licensure, if required to practice in that field.
Duane Roth, CEO of the biotech support group Connect, said that could make it more difficult for San Diego businesses to hire qualified workers. He said higher costs for H1B visas may also encourage more companies to outsource.
"A company may consider whether it's better to open a facility in a foreign country and hire the workers that are already there, versus the ability to bring some here to fill the opening jobs," said Roth.
He said the U.S. education system is not producing enough scientists and engineers to staff high-tech companies in San Diego.
I feel that another H1B fee hike will be a death blow to the possibility of retaining talented workers in the US and for small US companies to expand business.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for contacting me about the issue of immigration. I appreciate you sharing your views with me.
As you know, the United States Senate passed legislation earlier this year in response to the serious problems with our nation's immigration system. Debate on the comprehensive legislation dealt with a broad range of issues including our national security, border enforcement, guest worker programs, and the issue of immigrant workers in agriculture, seasonal jobs, and high-skilled positions. Our immigration system is broken, and I am well aware of the urgent need for reform and the impact on those trying to navigate this complicated bureaucracy. This legislation is now before the House of Representatives.
We need an effective immigration system that works for businesses and communities and that protects the basic rights of immigrants who are such an important part of our state economy and quality of life. In the end, I did not support this legislation because it failed to strike the proper balance between security, fairness and preserving Michigan jobs.
Thank you for contacting my office. I will keep your strong views in mind if the Senate considers this issue again. Please continue to keep me informed about issues that are important to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Debbie Stabenow
United States Senator
Above is what I received today in my mail.
I dont know what to do now. It seems that all our efforts are worthless. It seems that regardsless of what we do, the Senators have made up their minds about this bills. I think that anti immigration forces are way too stronger for us to tackle.......
I personally dont see any relief........

$930 plus a biometrics fee of $80; the fee total is $1,010. Exceptions listed below. There is no fee for applicants who are filing Form I-485 based on having been admitted to the United States as a refugee. Applicants 80 years of age or older are not charged a biometric fee; the fee total is $930. Applicants under 14 years of age: - Filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent have a fee total of $600 - Not filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent have a fee total of $930
I would assume that EAD and AP have to be paid for separately.

From Business Week: A report released on Tuesday makes the case that increased immigration is not a cause of increased unemployment in the U.S. The study, �The Unemployment Disconnect: Untying the Knot,� was issued by the Immigration Policy Center, the research arm of the American Immigration Law Foundation, an association of immigration lawyers that generally supports pro-immigration policies. The study sets out with the assertion that if immigrants are taking jobs away from native-born workers, �one would expect to find high unemployment rates in those parts of the country with large numbers of immigrants.� Examining state, county, and metropolitan area...

Hi,
I know your time is very precious and not to waste.
My issue is - I came to US as a programmar/analyst in Aug' 2005 with my B.Commerce (3years) and Master of Computer Applications (completed my 3years masters by 2003) in India. My H1 company in March'2008 applied for PERM/I 140 through EB3 (as a professional) recently they came back to me that my I140 got denied because of educational evaluation comparison difference and need to reapply again through a new lawyer as EB3 - unskilled - system support engineer.
Is this really require to go through the new lawyer to restart the GC process? - and this costs me to lose my priority date - almost 2 years
If yes, how are the chances to get the perm/I140 if I reapply through the same H1 company ?
remember that I have to go for H1 extension by Aug'10 ( as I complete 5 years on my H1).
Kindly suggest.
