According to KPBS, A bill to strengthen the U.S.-Mexico border could be a mixed blessing for San Diego. That's because paying for more for border security will require a hike in H1B visas.
The H-1B is a non-immigrant visa in the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act, section 101(a)(15)(H). It allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. If a foreign worker in H-1B status quits or is dismissed from the sponsoring employer, the worker can apply for a change of status to another non-immigrant status, find another employer (subject to application for adjustment of status and/or change of visa), or must leave the US.
The regulations define a �specialty occupation� as requiring theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge in a field of human endeavor including, but not limited to, architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, biotechnology, medicine and health, education, law, accounting, business specialties, theology, and the arts, and requiring the attainment of a bachelor�s degree or its equivalent as a minimum (with the exception of fashion models, who must be "of distinguished merit and ability".) Likewise, the foreign worker must possess at least a bachelor�s degree or its equivalent and state licensure, if required to practice in that field.
Duane Roth, CEO of the biotech support group Connect, said that could make it more difficult for San Diego businesses to hire qualified workers. He said higher costs for H1B visas may also encourage more companies to outsource.
"A company may consider whether it's better to open a facility in a foreign country and hire the workers that are already there, versus the ability to bring some here to fill the opening jobs," said Roth.
He said the U.S. education system is not producing enough scientists and engineers to staff high-tech companies in San Diego.
I feel that another H1B fee hike will be a death blow to the possibility of retaining talented workers in the US and for small US companies to expand business.

Hello everyone,
I was scheduled to go to an I485 interview(PD: March 2006) at the end of this month.
Here is my situtation, my H1B was expired at 08/15/09 and I renewed my expired EAD(expired in January, 2009) on 07/30/2009. However my previous employee laid me off on 08/31/09. Before I got my new EAD on 11/18/09 and started my new job on 11/23/09, there was a period of time(from 09/01/09 to 11/22/09) that I was umemployed without a valid H1B or EAD.
Is that a big deal when I go to the interview? If it is, does anyone want to provide any advice?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Andrew

Just spoke to IO at NSC. Asked about my case. NC is clear and right now processing 09/06 cases so no movement on my case.
Asked if it has chance getting approved by the end of this year. She said, depending on how many visa no. they get from DOS, there are fair chances that it may get approved by the end of this year.
I still do not trust them, but her kind words gave me little hope.
PD- - 04/08/2002 (ROW)
I-140 RD - March 2007 (Approved)
I-1485 RD - March 2007 (PENDING)

Hi Folks,
It is crunch time! I have 15 days left to get an H1B 3 yr. extension (since PD is current EB3 India, my H1 expires July 30th), so I need to decide whether I should file I-140 in Premium Processing.
How much time has it taken for members to get 140 approved though PP? I value your feedback, or pls. point me to a poll/data elsewhere!
Thanks & Regards!
I got mine approved exactly in 3 days. It took 2 weeks actually a copy of the approval notice after that.

With EAD, or AP for travel, it is important to apply renewal of documents exactly 120 days prior to current document�s expiration date. If you file the renewal application earlier than 120 days prior to expiration, the USCIS may deny the application. In your case, if AP expires July, then return before the date to avoid issues. Plus, if EAD is current, then there should be no problem with entering U.S again. I am out of work and not risking it with out of country travel. Check with lawyer. That is important. Two years back, I returned with AP and faced questions at the airport. Check with lawyer before leaving. Why we do these hoop is known only to the almighty. Better to love someone here and settle with life. I am exhausted with all such documents. I have delayed marriage for GC.

I filed H1 in April 2007 for my brother who is in India but no news from immigration whether it was approved or denied. As all of you know this year they did a lottery system when i ask my lawyer he says we just have to wait. Its been 5 months now no news. Can somebody suggest me what to do. Is there any website which tells us the status or any number to call.

Hi,
MY labor says that the candidate needs atleast 1 year exp as a Software Engineer. Your labor says at least 1 year exp
But my experience letter says that I have 2 years of experience as a Senior Software Engineer. You have 2 years exp. then you are good to go :-)
Would that be ok ? (Actually I was a software engg before and got promoted to Senior Software Eng later.)

My wife had the same situation - was going to be out of town on the scheduled day. She went to the Dallas office on a Wednesday or Thursday and explained the situation to them. They said they were busy that day and said she had upto 89 (?) days to do it. They said she could walk in on any Saturday within that time frame. They also said that there was no need to reschedule. Sure enough, she went in on a Saturday 2 or 3 weeks after the scheduled date and they took her fingerprints.

This is my first time posting here and hope that it would ease my path.
I am trying to find if any one had the experience or has known about someone filing and H1B with a BSc in Health Sciences in Health Care with Respiratory Therapy option.
I know it is not possible to get an H1B on Respiratory therapy therefore I am looking for options as a healthcare administrator, health care analyst, health informatics, etc.
I have done alot of courses in computers like: MS applications, Oracle, Unix, Windows Adminstration, etc and I am close to get an associates in CS too.
Question:
- Are there any healthcare fields that require Bachelors degree to get H1 in my case?
- Can I work in IT and get H1 if the job description says Bachelors in any field?

Hi,
I will file for my 485 this week. Next week I leave for India for 2 weeks. With the frontlog I wont get my 485 receipt this week. I have valid H1B. When I enter without 485 receipt will that be a problem? Will my 485 be abandoned in case there is problem? Please advice. Thanks.

What the denial notice says? Your options are to file a new H-1B ... in the meantime please appeal the case immediately as this will buy time.
Regarding other options, you can either re-enter US on B-1 or visit a consulate and get H-4 stamped.

If spill over happens it will be applied based on the Priority date not based on the country quota
Few things:
3. Even if there is any spillover to EB3, nobody knows how USCIS will give those spillover number, will they go to EB3-ROW first or they will go as per the PD of Individuals regardless of Country of Origin.

Have a similar one:
1)For (c)(9) eligibility status only
Please indicate whether your pending I-485 is family-based or employment-based.
...There are two options Family based and employement based.
As I am on H1B I selected Employment based. But, What should I select for my wife H4... Is hers Employement based or Family Based?
Please Advise soon...
