Job visas only for highly skilled, salaried foreigners: govt (http://in.news.yahoo.com/20/20101020/1416/tnl-job-visas-only-for-highly-skilled-sa.html)
Wed, Oct 20 03:12 PM
New Delhi, Oct 20 (PTI) In an attempt to prevent foreigners from getting non-technical jobs, the government has made it clear that citizens of other countries will be taken only for highly-skilled assignments in India and should draw an annual salary of over USD 25,000. In an order, the Home Ministry nullified a Labour Ministry circular which allows one per cent foreigners among the total work force in any project with a minimum of five and maximum of 20 people. "An employment visa is granted to a foreigner if the applicant is a highly skilled and/or qualified professional, who is being engaged or appointed by a company/organisation/ industry/undertaking in India on contract or employment basis," according to the Home Ministry guidelines. Besides, the ministry made it clear that employment visa shall not be granted for jobs for which qualified Indian are available and also for routine, ordinary or secretarial/ clerical jobs. "The foreign national being sponsored for an employment visa in any sector should draw a salary in excess of USD 25,000 per annum," it says. However, this condition of annual floor limit on income will not apply to ethnic cooks, language teachers (other than English), staff working for the Embassy/High Commission concerned in India. The Labour Ministry had ordered that visa applications could be cleared by the Indian missions abroad at their level if the foreign national is skilled and qualified professional, technical experts, senior executives or in managerial positions and those kinds of skills which are not available in India.

Hi guys, I have a unique situation, thanks to july visa bulletin. I have a EB3 labor and I 140 approved with the PD as May 2004. Recently I applied EB2 PERM in order to port the PD from EB3 to EB2. My EB2 perm is approved now. Now, I am in dilemma to choose between EB2 and EB3. I can apply EB2 I 140 and I 485 concurrently (by assuming that they will port the PD) or I can apply I485 (for previously approved EB3). Please suggest as to what route I should take.

Thanks for the link, I was reading it and towards the end there was statement
"When filing an MTR all evidence has to be submitted like, filing AC21 letter and record of delivery, proof of 180 days",
to me it looks like filing AC-21 is MUST in case one need to go MTR route rather than optional, could expert or Chanduv23 please clarify?
Please see the link.

I entered on a H4 on my New Zealand passport and it is valid 2010. I now have a H1B ie a I-797A and a new I-94 that is also valid till 2010. I'm leaving the country for the first time to go to Australia.
Do I need to get a new visa stamp for my passport?
If you want to enter US as an H1-B, you will need an H1-B visa stamp on your passport.
If I need to get a new visa stamp, do I need to go back to New Zealand or can I do it in other countries?
You can do that from any consulate. However, note that there is a possibility that the IO will need a so-called "security check" which takes 2-3 months (and sometimes, years). In that case, you will be stuck outside US (you cannot get back to US while the security check is pending). So it is advisable to go to a country where you have a place to stay for a long time, if needed. For most people, it is their home country. Also the chances of getting a security check is higher if you go to a consulate other than the consulate in your home country.
Can I travel with my passport which shows the H4 visa and carry with me my I-797A and new I-94 to re-enter the country?
Thanks
You can, but then your status will be H4 and you will not be able to work. The principle is that your status is determined by the latest I-94 you receive. To work on H1-B, your latest I-94 (the one you got it while entering US or as attached with the I-797 form) must be for H1-B (the visa status is written on the I-94).

As far as I know priority date can ony be transfered when the I-140 is approved. Go ahead and get both I-140 approved and use the earlier date towards the new one at the time of filing of I-485.

My friend had applied for GC through B (never worked, PD-2004/EB2, 140 approved and 485 more than 6 months) and he was continuing with company A on H1B.
Company A was laying him off. He tried to go to company B. But Company B was getting folded.
He went out and got a better offer from company C. He had two choice. Apply H1B transfer from A to C or use AC21.
He chose to use AC21 and started with C. Lawyer explained the situation with AC21 info to USCIS.
Now the best part. HE GOT GC last month.

Would recommend doing an appeal for perm. That will keep perm active while your H1 gets processed.

Priority Date: Jan 2006
Category: EB3
I-140 Approved: Aug 2006
I-485 Filled: July 2007
I have a new job offer and the employer is willing to sponsor my GC in EB2 category. The job requires BS+5 years experience which I have.
Question: If the old employer revokes my I-140 before the new employer files new PERM and I-140 under EB2 category, can I still port my EB3 priority date to EB2?

Initially we applied for Labor in July 2001. Waited for 3.5 years to get approval. USCIS processed applications recieved in April 2001 for more than three years!! In January 2005 we finally got our Labor certification. In April 2005 we applied for I-140 and I-485 at the same time. I-140 was approved on July 2005. I-485 still pending due to the name check not complieted for primary applicant.
The same question over and over again, for how long will we wait more?

Hi,
I am in a fixed situation and in big dilemma.
My H1 is expiring in 2007 June first week.
My current employer's (A) attorney is useless and I had to struggle for a year to get my labor filed.
Labor got approved recently and still struggling to file my I-140 in premium.
Meanwhile, I got an offer for permanent employment in a good organization (B).
I would like take that offer but issues that are bothering me are:
1. If I wait and finish my I-140 with current company (A), do I have to get 3 years H1 extension with Company (A) before transferring to company (B)?
2. Do company (B) have rights to extend my H1 visa for 3 years with I-140 approval from current company (A)?
3. Is it safe to switch companies immediately after I-140 approval? I thought 180 days time is preferred but I don�t have the luxury of waiting for 180 days.
Please help me with these questions.
Thanks!!!

My attorney signed my I-485 AOS/EAD/AP applications and posted them on July 2nd as he was in a hurry to apply because of July 2nd scenario. Is it ok for the attorney to sign our papers. Is anybody in the same boat as me. I am a little concerned as the USCIS FAQ says application can be rejected if signature is missing. The application reached USCIS on July 3rd.
My attorney also did the same. I did not sign on my application. But he sent me power of attorney to sign. They did this since they were beating the July 2 brouhaha which previous to that week, they already knew what's going to happen.

Hi,
I was a Donor few of months ago. Since last month, I am not able to see Donor forum or see my membership as "Donor". Wondering if there are any changes made to qualify one as "Donor"?
Thanks
Could you check and see if your subscription has expired.

I received a duplicate order from Hewlett-Packard. Per the customer service person I was instructed to remove the shipping label and write the return number on the box, then call Fed Ex for a pickup, all of which I did. Now, a few weeks later my credit card account has not been credited. I've called the customer service people several times, and received a transmitting tracking number for the return. I've called Fed Ex who say what I have is not adequate to track the item supposedly sitting at their warehouse. I've spoken to the supervisor at HP, and she, like everyone else, keeps referring my problem to the "return specialist", who is supposed to query Fed Ex about this, but nothing happens. Their excuse is that they don't have the actual tracking number to do this. One HP rep I spoke to told me that the return item had not been scanned since the initiation of the return, implying negligence. Yeah somebody dropped the ball. Where do I go next to get some action taken?
Dispute through credit card if possible, just tell them you sent back the item and company did not credit the amount.

Hi,
I changed job (new position start day is today) - and am struggling to decide whether to send or not send AC21 letter. Got the documentation from new employer but not sure whether to send it or not. For now decided to send just the G-28 form (change of attorney) immediately to get any info from USCIS to my lawyer. If I decide to send AC21 letter later - say after couple months - can we do that? (I mean sending AC21 letter 2/3 months after changing the job) - is this effective/advisable?
I am thinking on these lines because I am not sure what my old employer would do with approved I140. I left on good terms with immediate managers - but its a very big organization and the official HR policy simply says that "they would follow attorney's guidelines - and will abide by whatever USCIS rule in deciding future course in case an employee leaves midway thru greencard process". Those are exact words and there is no other explanation.
Anyone in similar situation and what are you doing please share - I need to complete this (atleast G-28 in a day or two). Thanks

My wife and I returned one time from India to US exactly 2 days before visa expiry. we had new visa approval notice but didnt have new visa stamping in passport.
This is not reqd but if you want, you can send her your scanned copy of H1/H4 receipt notice, just incase to show that you both filed for extension if anyone ask for it. In general, send her scanned (or fax) your current employment letter to show that you are currently working here in US.
good luck:)

Recently I renewed my Advance Parole (AP), USCIS renewed it for 9 months only. Is it possible to check with USCIS to get a 1 year AP.
Thanks!
You must have applied 120 days in advance or many days in advance before old AP expiry. USCIS issues AP from the date it was approved so you tend to lose some months. I have heard some other members include a cover letter which says AP start date should be from date of expiry of old AP. Since you already got the document, I doubt you can do much about it. You may lose 2-3 months just trying send it back and requesting it to be corrected. I guess next time when you renew keep the cover letter in mind.

Hello All,
I have couple of questions regarding Travel Document or Advance Parole.
My EAD has already been filed by my Lawyer but she is charging too much for filing Advance Parole or Travel Document,so here goes my questions.
- Is there a way to file for Travel Document myself, without involving the lawyer and if yes how can i do that
- Do I need to wait for my EAD Receipt being sent to me before filing for Travel Document.
i did this exactly, where my lawyer filed my ead, but i filed my ap myself. all u need is i-485 receipt copy.
