Make AF flight crew wait it out in some mosquito infested lounge for 10 hours before clearing their immigration. Call it something like quarantine for French swine flu or something. But do give them a bottle of water and enough spicy Indian food. :D
Repeat this at random for a few weeks. AF will be paid back in Euros :D.
BTW, I used to stay in France (and Holland 98-2000) and had a fairly good experience when I was there. Never really felt any racial discrimination. Only thing that they want you to do in France is try to speak French that's it.
I bear no ill will to the French or the other EU folks. This is a fight with the Airline and let's keep the discussion to that. :)

Hi, we recently applied for COS to H-1B at California Service Center on May 26th under premium processing. So far we have not received even the receipt notice, neither have the checks been cashed. Just wanted to check with everyone if this is normal, or did they misplace the petition?
What are my options other than to just wait?

Just a simple question. Corporations are arguing that every year 100k new jobs are created in high tech. Even 75% of the new jobs are for H1b then only 75k H1bs are needed. Even if you include other jobs teacher,Healthcare you do not need more than 120K every year Why do you need unlimited H1bs? Any pro immigrant lobbying group is not giving justification in numbers though everyone accepts there should be increase in H1b numbers.There should be increase in GC numbers as backlog had increased(But in this case also no one gave correct numbers based on requirement) but nothing wrong in H1b quota and some regulations in H1b to minimise abuse.
Another aspect is in the bill they gave 115k H1b for 2008. If they do not put restrictions your company cannot get any new H1b as most of H1b quota will be used by Indian consulting companies in one day. Do you think it is correct?
If not correct what is your solution? Corporation solution for this problem is unlimited H1bs by giving exemption to STEM and US master degree holders from H1b quota.
I am also opposing the restrictions in H1b program in the bill. But I do not have any alternative solution for the problems in the H1b program.
Again, there is a common misconception that companies have unlimited access to talent in other countries, and the only limiting factor is the quota of H1B visas.
Not true, by a long shot.
To give a simple example, our company is looking for people in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Canada and UK since the pool of qualified people in India has dried up in our field. Can anyone guess where is the biggest talent pool? Nope, not in Bangalore, its right here in USA!! Not all companies are looking for the cheapest person. They are looking for the best person. And in many cases, the best person is already here, and has gathered more experience over the years working for US companies. But they cannot hire her, simply because she is on a visa and thereby beholden to another company. If she had a GC, that would free up the talent pool and thereby make many companies less reliant on H1Bs. Increasing GCs for EB candidates has the same effect as increasing H1 quota, with the added benefit of making the cream of the crop available and reducing the uncertainty and hassle of hiring an H1.
This is why it is in the best interest of companies to support EB GCs.
My friend Senthil makes the same mistakes (repeatedly, unfortunately):
(A) Assuming that "good" companies will not be affected by any change of increase in fees for H1B, since they presumably have unlimited pockets and unlimited access to unlimited talent. (Big ha!ha!)
(B) "Good" companies can always get to hire people in US if they exist, and the only reason they hire H1 is that they cannot find anyone in US as there is no one in US who is good enough for the job for love or money (Bigger ha!ha!)
As to the question "then why are companies not doing enough for EB candidates", I do not know, and neither does anyone know, truthfully. Maybe they are, but as someone pointed out, no single player in the CIR game has enough clout to run the whole show. Or else the bill would have been passed long ago.

I am in a lot of stress. Please help out if possible.
Six years on my H1B expire in April 2008. I just got laid off from company A. My last day of work will be May 31st. I have LC and I-140 approved with company A.
If I join company B starting June, and transfer my H1B to B, can it extend my H1B beyond 6 years based on the approved I-140 I had with company A? If yes, will it be for one year or three years?
Gurus please help. I will be grateful.
Thanks
Hello Chitta:
Please check the following link from "Immigration.com".
http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=240313
As per it, you can get a 3 yr-extension as long as your existing company doesn't revoke your I-140 (and it wouldn't as you are not leaving on your own). So you should be fine. Good-luck for your next job.

Yes what you are saying is true. I am not denying that but how long can you stay on
H1B is the question. But yes I also started with 50k but I am moving up. IT salaries are higher. I know banks paying 70K and going even more above 80K. You can also work as independent contractor type unlike H1B. No middle men inbetween and all expenses before tax.
Yes ofcourse US is a far bigger economy. But I was born in India, what can I do. Within my contraints I am looking for best possibility.
When I feel down/upset I look at this video and I feel far better and motivated: YouTube - Man with no legs and arms - Inspiring story (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQPmY4nIjVE&feature=channel_page)
Since your wife is Canadian citizen, basically your downside risk in US is hedged. If things don't work out you can quickly move to Canada. But for others with Indian passport
it is not so. Like I said before I am not against working in US under TN1 or H1B. Just that
I am willing to work under desperate body shopper slave like conditions. If I get position under direct client in H1B its fine with me. In fact when your company knows that you are not that desperate they also treat you differently. Is your wife also born in Canada, if so then it is even beter, you are out of the EB-I trap. You should definiately look for US options.
Long back when we were working under H1B/OPT for a company in India, there was the annual bonus/promotion announcement. And I saw that none (except 1) of the H1Bs got a promotion. Just one H1B got promotion and that person had recent married a US citizen. Basically the company knew that its leverage over him is gone and in order to retain him they need to promote him. It is all a zero sum game my friend.
These were answers to someone who asked questions and not a reply to your post.

Hi Pappu
Like me most of us would have got the reply from the Senetor or the congress man for the email that we sent. But all the replies are generic in nature and focus is on illegal immigration issue. The problems of "Legal immigrants" to my knowledge did not get their attention?. This is my observation.

I finally got the letters and the root cause of my I485 denial. My previous employer informed that they used my approved I140 for another employee. As many of you might know this I140 substitution practice was a loophole until June 2007. These days companies can not do this any more.
So probably when my I485 came up for adjudication, there was no I140 since it had been used and hence they denied it. Now, I changed jobs per AC21 rules--yeah the famous rule that USCIS ignores. I am waiting on my current attorneys to file an MTR as soon as possible.
Question to forum members:
1. Are there folks in EXACTLY similar situation?
2. If yes, after filing MTR and it getting accepted, what are next steps since one definitely needs a approved I140?
3. Further to #2 above, does one need to file another I140 and port the previous date? I am sure this would take longer time than the current H1b that I hold until June 2009.
4. Can any one share lawyer name and contact info who might have favorably helped a forum member so that I can contact the person and get a second opinion to discuss legal strategies that might be available.
Best-

Don't forget they are politicians. Before getting elected they will make 100 promises. After getting elected they don't even rememeber even a single promise.:D:D:D.
Whether its INDIA or US, politicians have same Gene.:D:D
Just reporting what I saw on CNN. During the Sen. McCain interview with Judy Judy Woodruff & Richard Stengel, Richard asked something like - what about the green cards for the highly skilled immigrants educated by American Universities. To this Sen. McCain replied implying - they should be given green cards sooner, I am not sure if they could be given automatic green cards but the process should be faster.....
He said it not exactly in these words but implying something to that effect. They were suppose to ask Sen. Obama the exact same questions. Did anyone see Sen. Obama's answer to the question about green card for high skilled immigrants from Richard Stengel? Just curious....

if Obama wins:

- his best friend Durbin will again pick up the stick and start beating up on H1 sponsoring. EB will also get run over by the same bus.
- FB immigration will be put in preference over EB, we are screwed.
if McSame wins:
+ my taxes remain low
- CIR is back. 13 millions illegals will get in line. points based system for EB immigration and we are all screwed again.
- if McCain does not live through his presidency, the biggest country and economy in the world, with the largest number of nuclear weapons, the largest amount of military spending... the rome of our time, with nearly unlimited power and presence around teh world, will be run by a mayor of a small town. Rember her trying to get her brother-in-law police officer fired during her sisters divorce? And when the administrator refused her requests, he fired him? Remember how she emails people off-the-record from her Yahoo account? Remember how she CC's her husband on official emails? Do you want someone that stupid, who already abused whatever little powers a mayor and governor has, to be the commander-in-chief of the united states armed forces?
Either way immigration-wise we are screwed. I think for the sake of the rest of the world we must wish that this time McCain loses this election. He has made a very stupid VP choice.

mheggade, ur calc looks good but with the exception of Level II, I think most of the people who got Labor with MS+0 (or +1...) will have Level II. my attorney applied MS+0 even though I was having 6 yrs of exp when I applied.
So to say, Level II is to decide on salary level...not only skill level(i understand there is a co-relation b/w them). Most of the consultants will have low level so as to keep themselves safe and keep low level to be safe.
I guess this is what DOS is looking at.
April 2004- March 2005 All countries & all Cat: - 905
(This can be ignored)
2005 PERM EB2 India/China
(Level III & Level IV):- 729
Late 2005 to 01 June 2006
EB2 India/China ((Level III & Level IV)):- 7037
Total labors: - 8671
Assuming 80% of the total made it into 140/I485 stage
New Total of labors: - 7000
7000 labors * 2.5 visa per family
Total expected Visa demand: - 17500
Assuming 80% cases are ripe for approval.
Total visas required to clear the case up until 01 June 2006 is
14000

Does an MBA from a foriegn University Qualify for an exemption of CAP of EB2 Visas?
I was thinking one has to MS in a US university to qualify.
Thanks for further clarifying.
There are two categories of people who will qualify for the exemption
1) Any person with any advanced degree from a US university. There fore the following would qualify as examples:
a) MS in Computer Science
b) PhD in Mechanical Engineering
c) MBA
d) MS in Physics
e) MS in English
2) Any person with an advanced degree in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) from a non-US university (i.e. minimum of 18 years of education: 12 years of school + 4 years of bachelors + 2 years of masters) + minimum 3 years of work experience in US in a "related" field. There fore the following would qualify as examples:
a) 4 year bachelors + 2 years of M. Tech in Chemical Engineering from China + 3 years as a chemical engineer in a company in US.
b) 3 year bachelors + 2 yeas of masters + PhD in mathematics from India + 3 years in mathematics related field in a company in US.
3) The following as examples would not qualify:
a) MBA from a non-US univ.
b) 3 years bachelors + 2 years masters from a non-US univ.
c) Masters in English from a non-US univ.
