I'm wondering if these figures actually provide ammo for people who claim that H1b is driving down salary. A $50k median starting and a $60k median is not that great.
Median salary for H1B in computer related occupations: $60,000
Median salary for H1B in computer related occupations for initial employment: $50,000
Median salary for H1B in computer related occupations for continuing employment: $68,000

Flying through Asian Countires is not an option for people residing in East Coast. I am travelling to India in the next week Via Amsterdam. I am told by the consulate that we do not need Transit Visas. My H1B Visa is expired and I am travelling on AP. Did any one hear differently?
Thanks

If these are pending 485 applications at USCIS, Number of pending applications with PD later than JUL 2007 should be zero.
If these are labor filings, they probably dont include dependents.

Dollars and scents
Ethnic communities are bringing new cultures to the American political discourse
On July 2, 2007, just weeks after announcing that they were ready to accept employment-based visa applications from hundreds of thousands of legal immigrant professionals, many of whom have been waiting for years, the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) did a volte face and announced that their applications would not be entertained till further notice.
Not surprisingly, there were thousands of disappointed professionals. And how did they express frustration at this emotional roller coaster, considering that they had pumped over $250 million into the US economy in application and legal fees, medical expenses and so on? By taking the ideas of Mahatma Gandhi to the doorsteps of the US administration.

The pain of waiting for 9-yrs is nothing compared to the wait now (after dates got current)...Refreshing my yahoo mail on iPhone atleast twice per hour, Clicking on Safari where the last visited page is that of case status online (Click the status btn frequently) --- Life is difficult :(
Like an ad says: "Stay thirsty my friend", I hope I dont have to stay thirsty "FOREVER".
God save us from this misery just like u've been saving a few others!!!
I am in the same situation. I share your pain.
I think the scientific community should stop their search for a black hole. Considering the difficulty in extracting the least bit of information from the USCIS, they will beat any black hole hands down. :-)

I personally do not travel through a country that are biased and requires a transit visa for specific countries only. If you think about it, most of the international flights are full of us, Indians. If everybody (including Indians with GCs, that do not require a transit visa) start boycotting such airlines/country transits, then they will have to change this policy.
As I said before, I am never going to fly thru UK, even though I sill have a transit visa valid till Nov 2008. I can still feel the pain.

Hi All, I had a quick question.
My I-485 got approved earlier this week from NSC and I received the approval/welcome letter by USPS.
My online status is at post-decision activity and not at CPO.
Though my welcome notice says that I should receive the card in 3 weeks, I am wondering if I need to be at CPO status before that happens....also I read somewhere they may require another FP before CPO (that was talking more abt transfer cases, but mine has always been at NSC).....but nowhere in my approval notice does it ask for an FP.
I was wondering if I should just sit tight and wait for the physical card or try to find out more information.
Thanks so much.

This is not the correct understanding. I know this myth is propogated millions of times in millions of board and so now this myth has become "truth" for millions. But that is not the correct way USCIS does things.
Country specific limit - 9% does NOT have any realtion to "assigning numbers". it is just meant to "approve 485 - mail you a real physical green card".
In ROW cataegory other countries are also bound with this 9 (7 + 2) % limit for Visa granting. For an example - For Pakistan USCIS will never grant more than 9% visa per year no matter how many applications from Pakistan have been assigned a valid visa number. Same will go true for Britain or any "other" country.
In reality How USCIS divide 28.6% among countires - That is unknown mystery and nobody surely know that. And that is why I had to assume "equal shares - 5 part" in my analysis assuming USCIS works fairly but we all know that is a bullshit too :)
I completely agree with your last 2 lines. But I don't agree with the even dividing of the number into 5 categories of I,P,C,M,ROW.
Let's take an example. Suppose for some odd coincidence....the first 8000 odd EB3 apps that USCIS processes starting Oct 1.....none are from I,P,C,M. Suppose First 2500 are from Uk, next 2500 from France, next 2500 Germany and the next 508 from Pakistan. Now the number for ROW at this point would be 8008. Now they get another app from UK next. Will they refuse to process that app as the ROW figure had reached? Then they will still process more than 2500 for I,P,C,M. Won't that be unfair to UK applicants.
As I have said a couple of times now, and so have a few others - ROW cannot be capped at X/5. Due to the high demand from I,P,C,M....it likely gets a MINIMUM of (100 - (7 X 4)) X EB3 cap.

OP Do you know how many L1 visa types are there???
Who said L1 can't be at claient place? Who said L1 can't do programming?
:mad:
Don't spit on other community becoz you are loosing some thing...
L-1A
L-1B
Blanket L1s
L-1A - Managers (lucky ones eligible for EB1), offlate not abused much as L-1A visa petitions are scrutinized well by USCIS (lot of RFEs).
L-1B - Speciality Skilled ones.. MOST ABUSED category of L visa... petition for these resources would be for a internal tool / custom product and they tell the same during consulate interviews BUT mostly gets deployed to consulting assignments. For Eg. A java programmer would have a petition which talks about a custom product / internal tool where programming language would be java once the visa is stamped these resource would be placed on Java project which has nothing to do with his petition and HENCE THE VIOLATION.
Blanket L1s - Blanket petition for a large group of resources from a company ... now a days USCIS & consulate doesn't allow these companies to use this category as they found this was one of the most abused category. Once again the process of sending these resources to other projects remains the same once the visa is stamped.
ALL THE ABOVE VISA categories are banned from either
1. Working on a client managed project (staff augmentation purpose).
2. On any technical skilled projects other than the specific internal tools/products mentioned in their petitions (both when client/their own company manages the project).
PLEASE REFER L1 REFORM ACT OF 2004.
Approved L1 petition is the final word in deciding what kind of work the resource can do here in US... not outsourcing companies greed.
Hope your doubt regarding the L1 visa categories is cleared.. I'll give the details of how these outsourcing companies work and how to bust them by reporting to ICE/USCIS in the next post.

I am assuming they have a clerk who has been instructed to do this.
Lets not worry about it, lets keep sending the letters
If clerk is doing this as per instruction means, we are being noticed and that is precisely what we wanted anyways. I don�t think USCIS higher ups have any malicious intent. Whole issue may be due to lack of training of IOs.

I am not sure about his public position about legal immigration but I think he made it difficult for immigrants (Legal and Illegal) to get driving permits in CA.
I have a CA driver license. Its not tough for legals. He only made it tough on illegals

10 yrs, 2 labors, 2 I-140's, 2-485's, more than 10 infopass appointments, two senator requests, more than 8 level 2 SR's, email to SCOPSSCATA and NCSCFollowup.Nsc@dhs.gov and then finally got CPO mail as christmas 2010 gift.
In my opinion the email helped move things lot FASTER. Took over 2.5 months after email to get the GC. I would like to thank all IV members for great insight and suggestions.

Lost in all this is the fact that Punjabi wants to sell his house not because he cannot afford it anymore, but because he wants to move to a different city to a higher paying job and can't be bothered to take responsibility for his failed real estate venture. He could have done the ethical thing and stayed in his present job and paid off his loan but he is choosing not to. And who does he blame for his situation? The concept of the "American dream". So the fact that he wants to shirk his responsibilities in favor of foisting his own debt onto the rest of the country isn't his own fault, it's the "American Dream" that's making him do this. It's not exigent financial circumstances that are causing him to foreclose, it is greed and shortsightedness (colloquially known as "The American Dream"). Greed and shortsightedness already caused him to go 20K under the water. And they will now make him screw up his own credit history. If someone cannot learn from one mistake, I say let him keep making mistakes. He will soon find out how difficult life in the US can be if you don't have a good credit history. As for the burden on us taxpayers, hey, we've been spending 10 billion a week for the past 5 years dropping bombs on people, what's a mere 20K?
LOL.
Something tells me that it is not 20k. It would be 100K if an actual sales is attempted. Still much much lower than 10 billion a month:)
