What is the purpose of this poll? Why start from 2005 (and not from 2001) ?
trueguy has a poll started for period from 2001 to 2004 and I have started this for 2005-2008.
The limitation is that we can have maximum of 10 entries in a polling!!!
Not sure if the core have more options.

Hi guys,
this is my first post, so please bear with me ..How can a novice know that this forum is for EB category ? small suggestion to iv team, a small iv admin fix...
can typing immigrationvoice.org take us all to "ebimmigrationvoice.org" or eb-legal-immigrationvoice.org" ? (eg. ibnlive.com takes you to ibnlive.in.com) In that way eventually everybody will know its a eb immigration voice and no other legal immigrants forums..
Sr members, please share your views on this topic..
thanks

If you have approved labor and 140, why you want to file EB2 perm?
1. Are you jumping to another company? Yes you can do this as you are not substituting any labor. You are just porting YOUR PD.
2. Are you thinking to apply ther PERM from the same company? It is possible only if you jump to different department. Yes, you can still port the PD.
Substitution is the terminology used only when the beneficiary name changes. As long as the original labor is in your name, you can port the PD n number of times.
Folks , for someone with March 2004 Eb3 India PD , is converting to Eb2 really going to help in any way at all ? Please suggest.

I would suggest having a potluck in front of capitol and also see the cherry blossom in the evening. If possible a boating ride can be squeezed in.
This would make a statement that we are well off and out only problem is the delay in GC

Folks,
How are the taxi charges from Chennia airport to the town or station ? Do the drivers charge whatever they feel like or is it controlled?
My parents are leaving back from the US and will be landing in Chennai, they are not from Chennai....so not sure if I should try to book a taxi before hand...or the charges are controlled ? Also, do they have something like pre-paid taxi ?
The flight (emirates) lands at 3 or 4 am.
Also, any recomendations for Hotels ? Ideally near the railway station.
Thanks in Advance !!
Regards,
You should book the hotel on Yatra.com or Makemytrip.com. I have used them in the past, and if you book 3 star or more, then you get pretty decent hotels.
Also, about the taxi, you should ask them to go straight to the pre-paid counter and pay as per the fare board charge. It will look a bit expensive, as it is the airport, but it is usually hassle free and safe.

Hello Gurus,
I am EB3 India with PD September 2002.
After all these years of endless waiting I am called for
an interview at the local office in Philadelphia
in Nov 26th 2007.
Here are my details:
Labour Applied: September 2002
Labour approved: September 2003
I-140/I-485 Applied: April 2004
I-140 Pproved: August 2004
Got married: August 2005
Applied I-485 for Wife: June 2007
Current Status of Wife: H1-B
Countelss EADs and APs for me and a recent EAD approval
for my wife with her AP still pending and status is still H1-B.
In the beginning of this year, I resigned from the
company who was the original sponsorer of my GC.
I then started contracting on hourly basis and worked for
a decent hourly rate for the first half of this year.
Finally I got a full time offer with decent salary and
benefits and took the job. I started working for this
job - remotely and also took up another contracting job
on an hourly basis (Got greedy as I waited too long :-))
and started working on both these jobs.
The point is - it is a different technology and not even
remotely connected to my original job where my Labour
cert was applied and approved. I was a developer
back then and with all the experience, I couldn't
continue as the pay was too low and no growth at all.
I can have a letter of future employment that
states that I have on offer in the same technology
in which my original labour was applied and approved
and that is not a problem at all.
Please advise me on how to go about it. I can
afford to pay and take the best attorney with me
to the interview - some one who is very well known in
the Philadelphia area.
Any inputs/advise are really appreciated.
IMP: Icing on the cake - my PD was mentioned wrong in
the interview notice - it says april 2004 !!
That was when my i-140 was applied and not labour.
My labour was applied in September 2002 !!!
Advise on this is also appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
My first 3 years h1b period started in oct 2006 but i got my h1b stamped in Jan 2007 (due to delay in getting dates at chennai consulate and a 221g), i entered country in Feb 2007.
Since then I am working with a small size consulting company but it is not a typical consulting company where people do sub contracting, i am full time employee so instead of getting hourly salaries we get full time salary (bi-weekly). My employer is a partner to one of the top known IT organization (in Top 5 in US). The business model works this way that the top known IT company (product company) makes products and our company (being partner) provide service solutions.
So generally speaking our projects depend upon how and when top known IT company client's gives small assignments to us to come and do work on-site, we get projects from 5 days on-site to 6 months and it is not known to us in advance, but yes we are payed always whether we are on-site doing a project or in office doing more research or learning things, so in summary my company is consulting but consulting to a specific product company's clients.
So in Summary
Client's of Top known (product Company), gives projects to top known company and the top known company passes it to our company (some time they do it internally too).
Here are some of the benefits my company provides to its employees:
1. Bi-weekly salary (we are payed always, no matter we are on client site or not)
2. Employer contribution to 401 K.
3. Payed Vacations, sick and personal leaves
4. Medical and Dental Insurance Contributions (Major chunk payed by employer)
5. Tutions and certification reimbursements.
We just have strength of around 18-20 people currently half of them are US citizens and rest half are skilled h1b. My Employer is in business from last 15 years with less than 10 Million in revenue.
My concerns:
My first three years of h1b is getting expired on 30 Sept 2009, my employer have to file my h1b extension:
a. Filing h1b extensionfor first time is a problem? can there be concerns?
b. Looking at lot of posts at various immigration sites, i have watched a common trend that uscis is asking for client letter, project details etc for next three years tenure.....now in our case as i had explained we are not always sure what is coming our way and duration can be very short or very long but definitely we have assignments, so in this case if they come back to us asking for client letter or project details what should we be doing?
c. If i get in worst situation where if i file my extension now and doesn't get approval by sept 2009, then after that if i get an RFE or something....can i file my h1b transfer with some other organization (after i-94 expires), or i can't file for h1b transfer after i-94 expires? please note: My employer will file regular h1b extension only and not premium
h1b extension.
d. Shall we file for my extension asap ?
I really don't have any problem with my employer and really wants to stick with them since they are genuine consulting company who provides all benefits a good employer too.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.

I am in similar situation as my parents are coming this year.
Couple of years ago there was a "no question asked, including pre existing condition" insurance, though expensive but it covered everything. However, this time when I talked to insurance consultant, it appears few people misused the insurance to the extent that the company went bankrupt. This is what she said: let us say the patient needed bypass surgery. The patient would buy one month insurance and return ticket. This would cost him $2000. Upon arrival in the US, he would complain about chest pain. Then pay $1000 in deductible and get bypass done. The total cost $3000!
However, because of this misuse geniune people do not have this option anymore.
Here is what I am thinking:
1. Buy Atlas America insurance. This covers pre existing condition upto $15,000. This also gives us negotiated rate with hospitals in the US.
2. Addon foreign travel on Mediclaim or other insurance that they currently have in India. Opt for Rs. 7 lakh deductible. This should lower the insurance cost. Also, try to talk to the insurance company and see if it will reduce rate further because its is secondary insurance.
Let me know if you guys see any hole in the logic or you have better alternative. I would rather pay more in insurance and enjoy my parents stay then worry throughout their stay.

We all know, Mexican govt. lobbied quite a lot for there ppl. Looks like its a fair course. NRIs serve both interests US and back home. India and US seem to be strong allies now then ever, so perhaps we should ask the Indian govt. to voice our concerns.
Its only fair when illegals can get all the attention, why can't we.

@waitingmygc - What you are saying is plain garbage. The OP has all the more reasons to worry if his employer is a consulting company. These firms send their consultants to various client locations, but don't file for LCAs each time.
@OP - It is very strange to see USCIS is going back to see if any LCA violation occurred at this stage of your application. You will need a good attorney on your side. Good luck!
sledge_hammer,
I like people like you for criticizing the post without any reason.
If you could have read the post carefully, it has been mentioned that if anyone has all the proper LCA and his/her employer is consulting company then no need to worry.
I know lot of my friends got GC last year through consulting companies and worked in past where client location different than employer location. Moreover, couple of them got same RFE and they responded it by mentioning client location they worked for their employer (IT consulting company) and keeping all the previous LCA ready in case. I hope it will help those in same situation.
