I am in complete agreement with IV and the proposal. After such a long time, the brains I always trusted, came up with the great proposal. Let me know if we can help.

First of all, welcome to IV!
So far there is no information about how many H1B applications have been filed under US Master's or higher quota, but there is a rumor that it may reach as early as this week (I can't provide you a source for this rumor).
There is no tracking facility provided by the USCIS, however they will issue new release if the cap is reached. Note that the USCIS has to go through all the petitions they received so far to estimate how many of those applications fall into this specific category. As of now, the USCIS is accepting new H1B petitions falling under master's quota.
You may want to re-enroll as a student at one of the universities after June'08 to maintain your status, if you can not file for new H1B this fiscal year.
Hope this helps!
Hello everybody,
I'm a new member and i joined this forum today because i'm stuck in a knot. I am a Master's Student and i'll be graduating this May 2007. I have applied for my OPT which will start from 04 Jun 2007 and will end by 04june 2008. Now the next day after i sent my OPT forms to the immigration i read the news about the H1 general quota being filled already on the first day. I am really confused now.
Here is where i need your help, any prediction or idea when the Master's quota would be filled this year? Is there any way (website or something) that we can keep trck of the number of H1 application vacancies available in the Master's quota.?? Till what date so you think i should have a company file my H1 if i have to get into the MAster's quota this year?
These are the three questions that i seek the answers for...
Well if in case i am not able to file my H1 this year i can do that next year but the prolem is on the 5th of June 2008 my OPT is going to end and then till Oct 2008 i'll have a status problem. Any suggestions on what i can do and what are my options?
Any help and suggestion from anybody would greatly help me in deciding my future and your comments would be highly appreciated. Waiting eagerly for a response.

Consider a $25 pledge from me towards this effort. Would appreciate it if we are told what information are we asking for? I have seen many questions in different messages. It would be great if we can get a consolidated list of questions/information we will be asking.
TIA.
Thats one of the tasks. There were multiple reasons why I was waiting for IV to show little more interest on this. We need 3 person team to tell us exactly what data and what format we need them and whether USCIS can get us that information with proposed charges.
3 Volunteers required who can decide exactly what data is required, we have rough idea but need final document on this. Amits, would like to lead this?

Someone gave me RED dot for my posting/interpretion of memo (as below). I don't care but some level of maturity is expected on public forums:
If at all this 'news' is true -this may be just something so-called internal matter. Best interpretion of this 'news' is: They may have assigned available visa#s to approvable petitions just as they did before 2nd July07 bulletin, where people kept getting approvals well into Oct07.
So, ALL THE BEST to lucky ones who are 'pre-adjudicated'. How else you can explain Sep VB, which is yet to start from 9/1.
Just sent you pm.

You have become a citizen. What is your vested interest in pursuing this divisive discussion ?
Stay away from IV. We don't need your inputs here.
Admins,
number30 is likely an anti-immigrant. Please ban him.
I completely agree, I am suspicious about true intentions of Number30.

Looks like this idea has come out of mere frustration. Do you know how many people want to immigrate to the USA? Do you know how many people are waiting in line? Do you think it is correct that only EB-immigrants should be given preference? Why because USA needs all of them? While I have used "you" in the previous sentences, I don't mean just you....rather "we".
If you have time-bound path to immigration, then right now, the whole Federal Govt. and all employees will have to work only on getting the immigration files cleared. Under current circumstances, I think the current system will get you a GC faster than if they switched to "time bound" today. Do you realize, how many people will suddenly be suing the Govt. for delays? There is no country which guarantees time-bound path to PR.
While I forcefully oppose the DREAM ACT and CIR, these did not give time bound GCs but only allowed illegals to convert to legals and in time APPLY for GC if they become eligible.
Can we propose a bill which would give us - the honest, sincere, law abiding aliens - a time bound path to Green Card and Citizenship?
Political parties only talk and seem to be interested in giving illegals a time bound path to citizenship? They even introduced a "Dream Act" in favour their children. Why should we / our children be sidelined?
Can we request for a bill which would:
1.Grant GC to all EB 2 / 3 class pimary applicants who have completed 8 years of continuous stay in the USA without any criminal record.
2. Provide Citizeship to all EB primary applicants who have completed 12 years of continuous stay without any criminal record
Note:
When the primary applicant is issued a GC / Citizenship, the dependents (spouse and kids) should get the same benefit.
The current system is designed to favour ONLY the employers and the law firms, not the humble, hard working EB class slave who toils.

Let me apologize at the outset that the reason I did not get some emails was because of a typo in my email id in the first post. That has been corrected now and just to reiterate, my email is shrey@immigrationvoice.org
As far as the stories go, reading them encourages IV to work even more intensely towards a solution.
I will pe posting a sanitized version of the stories as and when I find time (no personal information will be revealed and I will take utmost care to ensure that the story cannot be traced back to any individual)
If someone does NOT want me to post such a brief version, please PM me and I will happily respect your wishes.
Others who have NOT sent me their stories, please do so.
Personally, though I had an inkling, I had no idea the situation for even brilliant individuals was so shockingly bad. As a core member of IV if I feel this way, I am sure that the lawmakers have absolutely no idea about how highly qualified yet unfairly treated all of us are.
We at IV have achieved quite a lot of success at DC by meeting many many senators and now atleast they are aware that highly-skilled immigrants are facing issues. Most also know about some org called Immigration Voice which has been making quite some noise since the last couple of months.
We are pretty confident that when our stories passed on to Senators it will definitely benefit us and convey the stark reality. Maybe a jolt like this is what is needed to get them out of stupor
Lets work together to make sure that our sufferings end.
Tell your friends about IV, contribute, send in your stories and volunteer for a better future....

having less no. of hours in monthly payslip counted towards out of status?
(or)
without payslip is counted towards out of status?
I am not sure if it would be counted as out of status, but it would definitely violate the terms of the H1 visa, if your employer is not paying you at least the minimum amount specified in the H1B LCA.

People have given me reds for asking the dad to go to the cops and reminding this dad his duties.
I think these people who have given me reds only know how to produce many babies but do not know that it comes with a responsibility. Shame on you and to all those who live a life of fear and teach the same on this forum.
Tell me something, if you have an illegal gardener/cleaning guy/moving helper/carpenter/plumber/handyman/male babysitter etc in your house and you have employed him for his servicesand he rapes your wife. Will you not go to the cops? Or will you sit tight at home and just post on the forum saying that you are an H1B and you fear that your H1 and greencard application will be revoked. If you still feel that not going to the cops is a better option, then I do not think your wife deserves a Man like you and certainly not a impotent person like you.
I find posts on this thread very repulsive and cannot hold back these strong words.
Your language is too rude.

Hi Everybody,
I would like to start this thread for the benefit of people who do not have a straightforward immigration history. In a nutshell, I hope in the future this thread will serve to provide information and advice on
Out of Status issues - Inconsistency with what's stamped in the passport and what you're actually doing
Unlawful Stay - Stay beyond the date in the I-94 card
The main focus will be on what these things can do to your i) AOS/CP filings ;and/or ii) future non-immigrant visas.
I came to this country because of a twist of fate and had zero knowledge of the immigration laws here. Through the school of hard knocks, I have gained considerable knowledge about this convoluted process that affects us all and hopefully what I learnt will be of use to other people in the same boat.
A special mention goes out to "unitednations" for his skill and knowledge about various issues. Thanks buddy, you're a huge asset to all of us.
Dude ,
You been thru a lot and looks like you still have some sanity left in you. Keep up the good spirit ... Good luck with your 485 ...:)

I am going to take the liberty of putting together an agenda for the conference call, just to make it more productive. I can play scribe for the call.
The call will be for a maximum of 60 mins, unless someone wants to take it longer than that.
1. Quick introductions - State your name - GC application stage. - 10 mins
2. Brainstorming session -- 20 mins
2. Volunteers who want to be part of the smaller sub-group need to come forward. -- 5 mins
This is purely to get thoughts/ideas streamlined. Everybody needs to chip in once the action plans are drafted.
3. Volunteers to exchange contact information. -- 10 mins
4. Miscellaneous -- 15 mins (if needed)
Please add more items if you feel they are necessary.
I will try to scrape all the ideas generated in this thread and will summarize for the call. If anyone wants to post more ideas/comments/suggestions/criticisms, go right ahead and post.
Good idea to have a conference call.
Create a team of people who want to actively take part in such effort. These people will be leaders and will do all the planning and execution.
We will provide support for the functioning of this team.
Work on various ideas and see if they can be implemented, are as per current law and regulations.... What kind of budget do you need and can help raise etc.
We will provide guidance during the process if you need it. Also explore the possibility of a big lobby day in DC and create a team of participants for it. We see this event as a possibility in the near future to push our advocacy efforts.

Thanks for posting the link.
1.4.6 A pregnant inmate shall not be restrained while in labor, while giving birth, or during the post-partum recovery period, unless requested by attending medical staff or as specifically directed by the Warden. If restraints are necessary in any manner under such conditions, they should be the least restrictive type possible to remain consistent with sound security practices.
So the warden can still order restraints.

Does LUD on I 140 necessarily tie to 485 receipt generation? I don't think so - why would they touch the already approved I 140 case to begin processing 485? Unless I am missing something...
My I 140 has been approved in Feb 07 from TSC and 485 application was mailed to NSC on July 2nd. No LUD on 140 and no 485 receipts yet...

Where are those ppl who were venting anger towards IV core team for posting news before announcement? Anyway it took lot of hard work for the IV team to continue on their mission even after so much fiasco by some IV posters too.
Great job and keep up the hard work for lots of work is still needed to fix this broken and flawed immigration system of this great nation.
