Wendy Sefsaf of the Immigration Policy Center makes the case that the answer is no. And she also lays out the evidence that legalizing those workers would actually raise wages for US workers and contribute to economic growth that will result in more job creation.

Hello everyone,
Can anyone look into this and suggest me ??
My Wife is planning to go for COS H1B to L2(i am on L1) due to the Job market.As suggested by a person in the forum i am planning to file COS E-filing from H1B to L2 and EAD while in USA.
So My Query is
1) Do we need to wait for L2 to be approved before she can leave the country ?? Or just we file L2 and EAD and she leaving country and come back on L2 with stamp once it is approved(i would like to send L2 Approval by Post)
2) What is the process of L2 Stamping in India after recieving approval notice (what are the documents needed) and how long does it take
3)Will above process effect her EAD progress ??
Please suggest
Thanks

I recently got a denial on my audited labor case after 2 years of wait. I had already applied my H1-B 8th year extn on the basis of my pending labor in premium mode. My luck was such that my labor was picked up and denied a day after the H1-B extn was filed.
Questions?
Since the basis of the H1-B extension was pending labor, I think USCIS will reject the extension unless I get lucky.
If I appeal against the denial, is it possible to go back to USCIS to give the H1-B extension on that basis?
DOL site says "standard appeals" is Aug 2007. Does this mean cases of 2007 or appeal filed in 2007 for an earlier denial?
Reason for denial of labor:
Company name was not filed in job advertisement
Job location not specified in the ETA form.
These seem too trivial but nevertheless they sent this in the denial.
My company is looking into the paper work to determine that the above information was mentioned in the application?
Your help/input is highly appreciated in this

I am on US since Apr 2003 on L1B and it expires on Jan 25 2008
Last week my employer applied for L1A and it got approved. Approval notice says the new L1A visa is valid from Jan 26 2008 to Jan 26 2010(2 years)
I am planning to travel to india on vacation at dec 2007 and come back to US on Jan 1 2008
1) If I travel back to US on Jan 1 2008 without stamping L1A on passport, will the port of entry officer give I94 till Jan 26 2010 if I show the approved L1A I797 petition?
2) If I stamp L1A from India, when stamping the new L1A, I assume they will cancel my current L1B and stamp L1A which is valid only from Jan 26 2008. Am I correct? Then I will not be able to travel on Jan 1st 2008 since I dont have a valid visa stamped on passport at that time!
What to do ....Please help!

Voters' contempt for Congress rises (http://www.mercurynews.com/search/ci_7297497?IADID=Search-www.mercurynews.com-www.mercurynews.com) POLL: PELOSI'S NUMBERS TAKE ANOTHER DIVE By Frank Davies (fdavies@mercurynews.com or (202) 662-8921) | Mercury News Washington Bureau, 10/27/2007
WASHINGTON - California voters continue to disapprove of Congress even more than they do of President Bush, and for the first time Speaker Nancy Pelosi's ratings are more negative than positive, according to a Field Poll released today.
The poll found that 22 percent of state voters approve of Congress' job performance, with 64 percent disapproving. The discontent was bipartisan, with 70 percent of Republicans, 63 percent of independents and 58 percent of Democrats giving Congress negative marks.
Those findings, taken in a survey of 1,201 voters from Oct. 11 through Oct. 21, track national surveys. A Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll during the same period also found a 22 percent approval rating for Congress. A CBS Poll registered a 27 percent approval rating.
Bush earned a 27 percent approval rating from voters in the same Field Poll.
Political analysts give several reasons for the low marks: Democratic voters' dissatisfaction over the inability to change Iraq war policy, Republicans' opposition to Pelosi and other Democratic leaders, and a sense by many voters that Congress can't come to grips with tough issues such as immigration.
"Republican reaction has remained about the same this year, but the real trend is that rank-and-file Democrats and non-partisans are displeased because they expected more from the Democratic Congress," said Mark DiCamillo, director of the Field Poll.
Pelosi, a San Francisco Democrat, earned a 48 percent approval rating in March, two months after Democrats took over Congress. That dropped to 39 percent in August and 35 percent in October, with 40 percent disapproving and 25 percent registering no opinion.
"Iraq is the anchor weighing down Bush," DiCamillo said, "and now it's an anchor on Pelosi because of the complete inability of Congress to change course on the war."
Pelosi and other Democratic leaders held meetings in the last week to find ways to improve their "message" about what they call the New Direction Congress, highlighting such legislation as the minimum wage increase and ethics reform.
Despite the low marks for Congress, Republicans had little to cheer about in the new Field Poll. Voters gave an approval rating of 34 percent to Democrats in Congress, and 20 percent to Republicans.
Only 29 percent of Republican voters in California approved of the GOP performance in Congress, with 53 percent registering disapproval.
"That 2-to-1 disapproval by their own party really jumps out," DiCamillo said. "Republicans in Congress are now playing 'prevent defense' for Bush on the war and on domestic issues, and Republicans in this state do not approve of that."
The state's two senators, Democrats Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, earned higher marks than Pelosi and Congress overall, but the approval ratings for each senator dropped 10 percentage points since March.
The survey showed that 51 percent of all voters approved of Feinstein's job, with 31 percent disapproving. Boxer's approval rating was 44 percent positive and 35 percent negative.

I am on L1 visa since May 10, and have plans to switch to H1 without going back to India. My employer is not ready to provide experience and relieving letters, if I dont resign and I cant resign, since I need to pay 5000$.
1) So, does it make a problem while applying for GC, If I dont have these letters from present employer.
2) Inlcuding present company's experience only , I will be able to qualify for EB2 category. But I will not be having letters from my present employer to show that I am having 5 years experience.
Is it must to have experience and reliving letters from all my employers? What are the options for me now? :confused:

This is such an open ended question. It will be very easy to answer if you can add few lines about your background, affordability and qualification(like GRE etc). If not the school names will be all over the place from MIT to the ABC University....as the word "Good School" is very subjective.

For the marriage, do you have any evidence of the marriage happening (like you can get something from the priest). You then go to the local registrar of marriage and show him the evidence. He will register the marriage and give you an official certificate. Your relatives in your home country should help you with this procedure.
For the DOB, look for FAQ on affidavits. Every immigration website has info on this.

Hi,
I have an approved I-140 with my current employer. I have an offer from another employer that I am considering but the new employer will only transfer the H1B and not sponsor the GC.
Q1: Can I transfer my visa and start working for new employer and keep the GC process with the old employer if they agree to keep the offer open?
Q2: After visa transfer, if my PD becomes current, can I file I-485 with the old employer while working for the new employer?
I really appreciate any help.
Thanks

Ooops... I posted my reply to the pic in the gallery! To reiterate here, I love this photo... the only distracting aspect is the deteriorating wall in the shadows on the left. I played with some creative cloning and removed it and quite liked the results. Other than that, the color, symetry and lighting all come together in a really compelling way. It's one of my personal favorites!
