From Immi-Law:
06/27/2007: SPECIAL ALERT: I-485 Cap for FY 2007 Can Be Exhausted Before End of July? Then What Will Happen?
According to the AILA, approximately 40,000 visas remain in all employment-based categories, other than EW, for FY2007, according to its sources, and that the USCIS has far more than 40,000 adjustment applications in the backlog queue that are ready for approval, not to mention the additional numbers which will be consumed in concular immigrant visa processing. It is thus possible that the cap may reach within a short period in July, even though no one can predict it until after July 2, 2007. The USCIS at this time does not have any policy announced with reference to July 2007 I-485 filings which are filed after certain date in July when the total number is exhausted. However, considering the fact that the USCIS currently rejects the "Other Worker" category I-485 applications even though June 2007 Visa Bulletin show current for certain applicants because the "other worker" category quota was exhausted on June 5, 2007. This raises a serious concern because as we reported earlier today, the USCIS appears to be picking up the speed of processing of backlog I-485 applications in anticipation of flood of July 485 applications. The USCIS hands may be tied, should the EB visa numbers for FY 2007 is exhausted before the end of July.

The 260k�
God knows or who knows why the fluke in the numbers and a lot hurt but not to forget certain services made the big bucks. On an average 65k/year non-Immigrant VISAS are issued by immigration services. The Dept. of State claims that 60k immigrant VISA numbers exhausted by June 29, 07. The total number of applicants in the rat race should sum up to at least 260k as on June07.
Numbers do the math...
The June07 bulletin priority dates for India trace back to EB3-June03 & EB2-April04. At the same time about combined ~65k*4(June03-June07) = 260k were looking forward to get ahead in the rat race. Assume that 70% of 260k i.e. 182k had approved labors/substitution labor. The 182k caused to exhaust the 60k available immigrant VISAS then still about 102k are left in the air as non-immigrant alien workers.
The suck-more theory�
Since, the bulletin was issued on June 13, 07 (13 = dooms day) ~102k rushed to local stores like Sears, Walgreen, CVS for 2�� * 2 �� passport size photographs. The non-immigrant alien workers spent around 182k* ~$60 = $10.9mil for 6 passport size photographs. This explains why Walgreen (WALG) which was trailing at $43.xx on NASDAQ in May07 shot up to $45 in June07 and suddenly tumbled down to $43.xx after the revised bulletin. Certified civil surgeons to perform medical examination pocketed medical history�s best earnings in a span of 2 weeks raking revenues of about 182k* ~$275 = ~$50mil. NASDAQ touched years best @2650 in June07. Immigration lawyers charge about $1500 for I140 petition. Market rates for immigrant 485 petition is about $1400 for principal applicant and extra $750 for each dependent. Assuming that the average spending of 182k(singles, married, 2/3dependent applicants) amounted to $2000 for I140 and $2000 for I485 this totals to about 182k*$4000 = guess what!! $728mil. This means that there should be tremendous sales of Bentleys, Porsches, Lexus, Audis, BMWs this year. Projected sales of luxury cars should touch around $500mil for luxury cars alone in Q3. Till the next Oct07 bulletin keep the retro-guess-on for numbers.
Thanks and good luck!!

That remains to be seen. Congress cannot act in a mere speculation that there will be spierce competition between EU and US on skilled labor. US still attracts a lot of foreign skills. Increasing the number is not always seen as a solution but streamlining is or efficiency in adjudication is.
Anothe problem is that US thought it is adding more into the work force everyyear by giving out immigrant visas (EB). This is wrong because most of the applicants are already in the workforce under H1B and their dependents. What EB visas do was to retain these foreign skills by giving them permanent residence status. Therefore, EB visas are there not to add into the workforce but to maintain the current workforce.
The real visas for adding into the workforce is the H1B, which is temporary and only 65,000 per year which in a week time was used up.

My LC (non-RIR) is stuck in BPC since Feb'05 which is also my PD. After lot of convincing up to my VP level they finally at least agreed to have a healthy discussion with lawyer to see the pros and cons of converting the application to PERM while retaining PD.
My understanding is, there is no conversion. The old application from BPC has to be with drawn and re-filed under PERM. I meet other requirements to keep the PD like same job title etc..
Question is, H1 expires in Feb'07 and will apply for extension in Aug'06. Should I wait till Aug to have H1 extended using premium processing and then convert to PERM. Is there a risk of re-filing under PERM prior to H1 extension. PERM takes few months for the company to prepare, can they kick start the process now without withdrawing the LC?
thank you.

My husband recently changed jobs and has not updated the transfer in his H1 visa yet. I need to travel to India. Can i travel with the existing H4 with his new I-797 and salary stubs? Or do we have to updated the visas before we can travel?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Krilnon is right. I will clarify the whole making t-shirts thing later, but in a nutshell, feel free to set up a store and resell your own t-shirts if you want. If the shirt design is kirupa.com related and I (and maybe a few others) think it looks cool, I'll feature it on the site as well.
I have no interest in selling t-shirts directly or taking a commission or anything like that. I'll simply point people to your store (cafepress, etc.) instead.
Cheers,

Depends on the availability of visa numbers at the time of applying for H1 extension...Had you applied for your H1 extension during July17 - Aug17 when dates were 'C'..you are right...you would have got a 1 year extension....
But if you are from a retrogessed country, then even though you have filed for I-485, there is no visa number available and hence you are eligible for 3 year extension...
I am assuming you are from either IN/CH/MX/PH and that your PD is not current...
This is only my interpretation...Kindly consult with a lawyer...

Is she now on "AOS" status or out-of-status?
"AOS applicant". So she is NOT out of status.
Is she has to file H4 as my friend's dependent?
Not necessary.
Ask both of them to have their EAD ready, if they don't have them yet.
Guru's pl help..
One of friends 485(primary) was pending and his wife's 485(derivative) also pending.
Both of them are on H1(different employers) and they both lay-off around the same time about 4 months ago. My friends employer has been running paychecks for him but his wife's employer canceled her H1.

IF he transfers to a function that is significantly different than his approved labor certification he may have to restart his GC application by filing a new LC application. However, since GC is for future job and if his employer will agree for him to go back to his previous practice then he may continue with current GC process and change when 485 is approved.
All,
My friend works as an internal auditor within a big 4 acccounting firm. His practice is doing quite badly. As there are tons of different practices within this firm, he is thinking about transferring. But his PERM was filed for the internal audit manager position and his I-140 has alreday been approved. If he transfers to a function unrelated to internal audit within his firm (e.g. external audit, tax, fraud, etc.), would there be a problem?
Can anyone here provide some guidance or point him to the right discussion thread?
Thanks!!!

She will get her EAD even if your priority date retrogresses in the next visa bulletin.
As far as I know, you don't neccessarily need to file EAD with your I-485. Once your I-485 is pending, you can file EAD anytime after that(irrespective of PD movement) but its always better to file them together.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Would going to Canada and re-entering without going for visa stamping count as lawful entry??
Or one has to go and get the visa stamped to qualify as lawful entry??
Also when you go to Canada and come back Without VISA stamping, he gets the same I-94 or different I-94??
Thanks.
You can re-enter from Canada with same I-94 and status as long as trip < 30 days.
Yes, it resets out of status clock.

i_aged_out
03-22 10:26 PM
Hello everybody ! I am 22 years old. My parents had applied for GC under the employment based category. I, unfortunately, aged out before my parents applied I-140 because of the stupid backlogs. So I aged out even before an I-140 was filed. I was reading the Child protection act info and could not understand if I will be "automatically classified to the appropriate category" for GC which is Family 2B and retain my "original PD." Does this apply to me as I had not even filed I-140 when I aged out ? My parent's PD is Oct 2000 so does this mean I am under Family 2B with Oct 2000 PD ?? Please help me out. I am sure many of you with sons/daughters that are in a similar situation. Thanks
