You should not be getting paid less than the prevailing wage, that's the important number. A $25,000 reduction is a lot, and suggests that the job has changed. If that's the case, the employer should have filed a new LCA and amended the H-1B.

Those of you who have been reading this blog awhile will recall the many posts I've written regarding major problems in the system of detention for immigrants facing potential deportation. Nina Bernstein of the New York Times reports this morning that the White House will enact a series of reforms designed to curb abuses. Some of the promised changes are vague, but an immediate step will be an end to sending families to the Hutto detention facility in Texas, a location that has been the source of many complaints.The Administration is apparently looking at more alternatives to detention for non-violent...

USCIS continues to streamline its processing of applications and petitions with the recent change in filing locations for several forms. The following forms should be mailed to USCIS lockbox facilities rather than directly to USCIS Service Centers:
* I-129F
* I-130
* I-140
* I-526
* I-539
* I-817
The updated filing instructions can be found on the latest versions of each form, which are available for free from USCIS.
This change became effective August 3, 2010.If you recently mailed an application. Applications already en route to the Service Centers will be automatically forwarded to the appropriate lockbox for a period of 45 days. After September 17th, packages (including fees) will be returned to the applicant along with a note explaining the new filing instructions.

Friends,
I filed consular processing when USCIS stopped accepting I485 applications in July.
Since USCIS revised the filing date, I filed I485 on 18th July.
My case went to Indian consulate a month ago but I got the I485 receipts and FP notice from USCIS recently.
We are planning to stick with I485 now. Are there any Issues here?. Is this going to delay my GC process as my case went to consulate, abroad already. Please pass on your ideas and suggestions. Thank you.

To the experts on this forum
I applied for EAD and since last 4 months no action has been taken by TSC on my application. After 90 days, the local office gave me an interim EAD for 3 months. I have also initiated a status enquiry by the customer service at USCIS but haven't rec'd any updates till now. My question here is
1. What other options do I have, since from Oct 1, 06 local office won't issue interim EAD's as a policy change by USCIS.
2. Can I apply concurrently for second application. It seems my first application is lost.
Has anyone earlier been in same boat and has taken any other steps.
Thanks in advance.

We have seen so much of visa retrogression all along.....I was thinking of the July fiasco...after effects....Just when i was thinking of How DOS advances the dates. It is really erratic...since they have no clue on the number of pending applications. While they want to advance the dates faster when they know USCIS will not be consuming all the 140K quota so they can have their overseas consulates process some of them in July it turned completely different More people opted for AOS v/s CP.... Wouldn't it make sense for them to have 2 different cutoff dates ?? 1 for USCIS and 2 for Overseas consulates . How will this help ? They can advance the dates more accurately. How does that affect the people already in USCIS queue...They can either choose to change AOS to CP. and since the dates are different on CP (better than that of AOS) this will make new people file more CP than AOS while a number of folks in uscis queue to move the CP route and hence relieve the pressure on USCIS. There will certainly be some disadvantages No EAD/AP etc when one goes the CP route v/s AOS but the wait will be minimal....
Again just a thought....

MY PD is Nov-07. I was just wondering as my GC is for future employment. Can I go back to home country and come back when I get EAD.
What are the limitations in this path. Do we always have to be in USA on valid H1B.
thanks

When I joined my employer, I had MS+2 years of experience, but my lawyer applied to me under the EB3 category which had MS+2 as an alternate qualification. I submitted the experience letters from my previous employers.
Now, my company is willing to upgrade from EB3 to EB2 and have a position that requires MS+2, but the job responsibilities is a little different from the EB3 job.
If I apply for this position, will the USCIS accept the experience letters submitted earlier?

Hi
I'm currently working on L1B visa from company A. My present employer applied H1B visa also for me and it got approved around in the August last year. Now I'm planning to change my visa status to H1B.
So I would like to know the options that I have to get my visa status changed to H1b.
1) Can I transfer my H1B to some other company now as my H1B already approved? Is it possible?
If it is, how can I change my status?
2) What is the procedure if I have my current employer do my visa status changed to H1B? Do I need to leave US and come back to take that effect?
Please kindly reply to my questions.
Thanks in advance.

My wife is on F1 and has applied for AP.
We have been waiting forever for AP(nothing new, right?).
Since her F1 is invalidated for the purpose of re-entry, can she apply for H4? and use that for re-entry?
If you have done this change to H4 recently, I will very much appreciate your reply.
Thanks!

Bush, Congress Struggle in Public Eye (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/15/AR2007081501271.html) By DAVID ESPO | The Associated Press, August 15, 2007
WASHINGTON -- The Democratic-controlled Congress and President Bush seem locked in a perverse competition for public unfavorability, according to a new Associated Press-Ipsos poll.
The survey shows Bush's approval ratings at 35 percent, and Congress' even lower, 25 percent. Only 27 percent of those polled said the country is headed in the right direction, and 39 percent said they support the Iraq war, with 58 percent opposed.
While Bush's favorability ratings have remained relatively unchanged for months, Congress' support declined markedly between May and July, a dip confirmed in a poll of 1,003 people taken last week.
Asked whether they approve or disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job after seven months of divided government, those surveyed were then prompted to volunteer a reason.
Of the 74 percent of those expressing congressional disapproval, 22 percent said lawmakers generally aren't doing their jobs. Another 20 percent cited a specific issue for their unhappiness. Twelve percent said they disapprove of Congress because lawmakers care only about themselves and their party, while 10 percent cited backstabbing and infighting.
Among those who cited an issue, the war in Iraq was mentioned most often. It was cited by 7 percent of those disapproving of Congress' performance, followed by health care, 5 percent; immigration, 2 percent and employment and wage issues, 2 percent.
The survey was taken as Congress was beginning its August recess, providing a respite from months of unsuccessfully trying to force Bush to change course in Iraq.
Democratic leaders have vowed to renew their challenge to Bush when they return to the Capitol after Labor Day. An autumn clash also looms over federal spending, and Bush has posted veto threats against bills dealing with farm programs, expansion of children's health care and energy.
"I don't think this war is going the way it should be. We're over there for nothing," said Richard Reda, 64, of Nashua, N.H., a Vietenam War veteran and self-described political independent.
In an interview, he said, "I think Congress should go over Bush's head and get these troops back here. There's got to be a way where they can override Bush to get the troops back here."
Maria Guyan, a 28-year-old school secretary from Struthers, Ohio, agreed. Guyan described her politics as "lean Democrat" and said, "I just don't think they're doing enough to keep President Bush from basically going forward on whatever he wants."
She said Congress should focus most on withdrawing from Iraq and improving the nation's education system.
"We definitely need to get out of the war, and we need to basically just realize we cannot run another country in addition to our own," she said.
But Peggy Grandinetti, 69, a Republican from Florence, Ala., criticized Congress for not standing by Bush on the war.
"I just completely disagree of pulling out of Iraq. I think we ought to stay there and finish the job," said the retired medical assistant.
Richard Henson, 58, of Atlanta, Ga., was among the Democrats who said Congress has failed to address a problem with illegal immigration.
"The immigrants are running bills up," said the post office manager, citing health care and school taxes as examples. "We have to pay extra taxes to support illegal immigrants. I don't think they should benefit from our services that we're paying taxes on."
Wes Kangas, 65, a Republican and retired banker in Vancouver, Wash., expressed weariness. "They don't seem to get anything done. All they do is bicker back and forth. After a while it gets kind of old," he said.
Republicans were more likely to say Congress wasn't doing its job, 26 percent, while Democrats tended to cite a specific issue, 24 percent. Among independents, 22 percent said generally that lawmakers weren't doing their job, and 20 percent pointed to a specific issue, a list topped by the war in Iraq.
When it came to judging Bush, 70 percent of Republicans approved of his performance, with 27 percent disapproving. Democrats split 89-9 in disapproval, and 68 percent of independents disapproved.
Congress, by contrast, was held in disregard without regard to party.
Among independents, 73 percent said they disapproved of the way Congress was handling its job, with 23 percent expressing approval. Among Democrats, a striking 70 percent disapproved and 26 percent approved, while Republicans split, 74-23, in disapproval.
The poll's margin of error was plus or minus three percentage points.
