And it may well depend upon the demand for H1b visas this year. If there is a huge demand for H1b visas like last year, there is a good chance congress may recapture lost H1b visas. Then EB visas may also be recaptured along with H1b visas.
But I'm not sure about the demand for H1B this year , as H4 to H1 conversion will be down this year due to (most of) H4 visa holders getting EAD. Another issue is if OPT is increased to 24 months, then F1 to H1 will also fall drastically.
Fear of recession may also reduce new H1B visa demand.
Haven't heard of recapturing H1 visas. With high demand for H1s I doubt if there will be any unused visas to be recaptured. Even if there are any then can the congress recapture them? Even if they did why would they recapture unused EB visas along with unused H1 visas? . Am I missing something here?..

When my wife entered the US, since her passport was nearing expiration, the officer at POE put in the I-94 valid until passport expiration date (March 15, 2009), even though H-1 is valid till Sept. 2010. Eventually she got her passport renewed, but we are not sure if she has to travel out of the country before this date to get a new I-94. We have filed for 485 and she has a valid EAD & AP. Here are my questions.
1. I believe, since her 485 is pending, staying beyond I-94 validity (March 15 2009) does not mean she is out of status. Also, due to the same reason she does not start to accrue unlawful presence. Is my assumption right?
2. If she uses EAD to continue working, and at a later date travels out of country and returns, will her H1 status be reinstated as she has a valid H1B (both 797 and visa stamp)?
Thanks in advance,
Prasad

Is H1/H4 renewal in Mexico also existing instead of homecountry?
But double check with your lawyer...But it might require a US degree(easy to verify for the consulate staff)

Hello Friends,
I am planning to apply Canada PR... here is my status...
Filed 485... currently working on EAD... no H1 any more... employer didn't extend it...
1. Should i qualify IELTS to prove english language ability... inspite of having 18 yrs of education with medium of instruction as english?
2. Since i do not have h1 any more and am on PAROLE status.... will it be difficult for me to prove that i have "real intent" of moving to Canada after getting PR?
I would appreciate any one who can throw some light on this.
Thanks,
Krishna

I came to Montreal to have my H1 stamping done and am stuck here since 3/18. They told me they want to search the company and will call me back with in 10 days but no response yet.
Pls. ensure you have all valid documents before you get here but you can not go back with expired visa.
Do you have AP? If yes bring with you. I did't have mine so I am stuck.
I had got my H1 in Toronto also in 2005 without any problem this time I am stuck.
Are you a landed immigrant of Canada? I am but till having this problem.
Can I come back to US without H1 being stamped on my passport? What other options do I have.
Any suggestions.
Ramesh

Lot of people just say if u want to complaint about your employer who is exploiting go to DOL. There is no specific guidance to it. If anyone knows about it or done in the past please post the links here. How to know the blacklisted company and how to add a company as blacklisted.
Following are the most common criteria I heard
1) Employer did not ran the pay check even though he/she worked for that employer
2) Employer Deducts money for H1B filing, bench period etc.,etc.,
3) Employer Deducts money for GC lawyer and application expenses but did not provide information about lawyer or any progress of GC or partially information of GC.. (I heard from my friends company they filed around 80 people on July 2007 and collected money for lawyer expense but they did not had any lawyer)
4) Deducting money for Bench period in advance...

you dont need to have ssn in hand to start work only EAD. Apply for SSn and the employer will be handed over docs of application, it takes 4-6 weeks to get the card.
if she already has TIN then do inform irs of the change and paprfile tax returns next year

Search for "six-month rule", in "trave.state.gov"
If you tell me which country passport you hold, I could tell whether you are exempt from this 6-month-rule or not.
And yes, I mean official requirement for "entry".
How you think H1B documentation will act as a proof of "permanent residence" intention?
Hi Morchu,
I searched travel.state.gov with 'six-month rule', but couldn't come up with anything specific to this. Can you please post me the link? And I have an Indian Passport.
Ok, so how can one prove his intention at the POE for GC?
....would appreciate your reply.

If they do this retroactively, I hope they retro to 500 years back. Everyone from the congress and the president should deport their ass from where their ancestor's came from.
Its not just any Mark Krikorian, its our beloved 'bigot/racist Mark' - please make sure you always use that prefix or he will be very upset. He's already pissed that anytime the CIS' news releases are picked up by the newspapers/TV, they apparently describe CIS as merely an organization that wants 'stricter immigration' and deliberately leave out their illustrious founding by a courageous racist John Tanton. So - in confusion, ladys, jellyspoons , julia preston, nytimes et all - don't piss off our CIS ppl or they will deport your ass to wherever it came from! And don't think just because you were born here that you are safe cos there's a bill in the works that strips birthright citizenship retroactively!

Guys the person who wrote this article is a Democratic political consultant - in short political propaganda.
I would like to hear views from someone who is neutral.
If I recall Birthright citizenship was only being opposed for those who were not legally in the US. But as someone said this will be a very tough change to achieve anyway.
I am all for both parties working together, doing what is better for the country, rather than passing Bills in 1 week that no one knows the contents of.
I really want to see some concrete facts showing they oppose legal immigration.

It is currently taking a long time to adjudicate MTR's ( for some more than a year or so ) . I would say file a MTR and also file a new perm labor . I suggest going with EB3 rather than EB2 since rules for EB2 are now more stricter than before along with more scrutiny and RFE's. But its your own choice.
I think the new labor would get approved before you get a response for your MTR. If they clear the original labor well and good or else you would at least have the new one .
