I am a Master's student and had applied for H1B through a consultant under master quota 2007. I was devastated when the consultant told me today that my H1B was not approved. When i checked online with my WAC no, as expected it said that a decision was mailed to the employer which in most cases means H1B denied.
I have OPT left until dec 07. I haven't yet found a job while on OPT but have been applying for jobs rigorously. I was really banking on the H1B visa for getting a job and then transferring it over to whoever hires me.
With my H1B not approved, I am totally clueless now. Please advice if my H1B application can be reconsidered/re-appealed/ resubmitted. Any other options/suggestions welcome.
Get a job in either an educational, research or a non profit organization and reapply for H1B under quote exempt category. do it soon as that too takes time... preferably through premium processing after securing a job. good luck.

In fiscal year 2006, there were 5 Indian firms in the top 10 users of H1B visa.

However, when it comes to PERM filing there is only 1 Indian company in the top 10 list of PERM filers. That is very interesting. Does it mean that Indian companies do not encourage or support GC process as much as the American companies do? I sure hope that's not the case and employees of those Indian companies are getting a fare shot at the Greencard.

The very first time I went in formals (for my F1 visa). After that I've been to the consulate seven times, and its always been in jeans and t shirt. Next time I'm thinking of going Tarzan style. It will save me the security hassle and will serve as a good respite from the Chennai heat.
How about spiderman style? Undies outside

I think they moved very cautiously because of porting. Porting seems to be much more serious than we all thought maybe. Also as well as since it's just may, they traditionally don't open floodgates until late.

I brought this up in July 2006, about atleast filing a class action lawsuit, even if its thrown out of court, we have attention of the news media. Being a taxpayer we are entitled to use the court system. But, at that time I was practically boo-ed of the website to the extent, that I erased my comments and stopped coming to this website.
If we are in this together, I still think its possible. We talk about media attention, this is probably the best way to do so.
Grounds:
1) Discrimination based on country. I know about 7% quota, but a judge can put a hold on quota or refer it to more stidies or throw this issue. We dont know what the judge will think, its highly stupid for us to assume, that he will be against us from the start.
But it will get media coverage and media will definitely comment on numbers of indians/chinese and simple ignorance of whoever came up with this quota. And also the fact that these are doctors, engg stc and in high tax-brackets.
2) Emotional trauma, spouse not able to work and such. Thats a human rights issue, which is even bigger than immigration. It will start another debate.
These are two very big grounds, another would be taxation without representation.
I know immigration is a privilege, butas long as it gets media attention and average american starts realizing the difference between legal and illlegal.
I think it will also bring CIR to debate sooner.

Considering the lowered cost of stock I am planning to gets my hands dirty in stock. But I don't have much knwoeldge about it. Also, by the time I find resouces to learn more about stock, the prices might ahve gone up.
So can anyone provide good online tools to know more about investing on stocks and buying stocks online...
Thanks
There are way better places than this forum to discuss about stocks. You will get much more response from those sites as the people there share similiar intrests as you. I do not understand the point in discussing stocks here.
Would you go to liquor store and buy groceries?
What you are trying to do is similiar.

Am I in the same situation? My spouse left US today to INDIA. However we filled the 485 on July 2nd. Will they consider that as abandonment of the application?
I think you are good.She needs to mention that she left to India after filing for 485 at the POE after returning.Talk to your attorney once.

My primary tip is patience... By very early, I mean at or just after sunrise... Early's no problem, I don't sleep anyway. :p I'll work on my patience ;)
I've also had great success with a trick Don Bevis shared. You can get thin bamboo sticks... I always carry two of them with me and stick them in the ground so that they apply slight pressure to the plant stem... It doesn't always work, but it does so often enough that it's worth hauling the sticks around... I remember Don's bamboo stick tip now that you remind me. I'll go to the nursury today...
These days I make heavy use of my 5-in-1 disk for diffusion and reflection... but Kevin Sadler talked me into spending more money to get a quality product and I haven't regretted it... Kevin's suggestion of using a quality reflector is a good idea, I'll go the camera store after the nursury...
As for shooting technique, a tripod is a must... and hang the camera upside down... and frequently use mirror lock up... GaryI use a manfrotto 3001BPRO tripod, which allows you to put the camera all the way onto the ground, and even position the center column horizontally, but I use a pan-tilt head that's not too flexible (and I bent it the other day :(). I'll look at ball heads while I'm at the camera store... I never thought of hanging the camera upside down! I'll try that. Great tip. I use mirror lock-up when shooting thru my telescope, but forgot to use it here. Will do.
Hope all of this rambling helps... Gary

Gurus, need a lil help clarifying issue in GC process.
I've a question regarding location of work place for a H1B employee filing GC process.
I've learnt that either after filing I-140 or I-485 stage, one should maintain as an employee at the same job position(job description as mentioned in LC) and also the geographical location. I've learnt instances where if an employee is half way through (lets say approved labor or I-140) his GC process has to start all over if he had to move to another branch of the same company in another city/state.
Is this true? I might be wrong about the infomation above but I'm concerned as being consultant, I might have to move to a different city or state if I find a better project and am contemplating whether this would be an issue in future for my green card.
If I'm right, employer has to file LCA for prevailing wage for current city I'm residing now. What will be the process incase I've to move to another city/state.
I'd really appreciate if someone who has better official info or gone through this can clarify my queries so ppl like me can be better informed.
Thanks in advance.

Hey there, I have a three year bachelor's (from Australia) and an American CPA. I believe the two can be evaluated to an Ameircan Master's equivalent. Please, check with your lawyers. It should be possible.
Hi Ryan,
Do you know anyone have done that? Like you personally or anyone you know? Have they got I-140? I read that its possible to get PERM Labor done under EB-2, but USCIS gives real hard time at I-140 stage.
Appreciate your help!
Thank you

I have heard that your FP/biometrics does not have anything to with EAD.
USCIS has its own guideline of issuing EAD within 90 days. Since there was heavy work load after July, they issued without FP. For the EADs issued without FP, they are re-issuing EAD with FP.:)

Do not worry about RFE on AP. I was and am in the same situation (NSC->CSC->TSC) . ND was Sep 19; got my EAD; RFE on AP (for me & flmy) & no FP. RFE was asking to submit all copies of I-94's ever issued to be, proof of relationship (birth , marriage cert). Yest , on the website saw that our AP was approved :D.
For the FP notice, called them & managed to speak with an IO. She advised me to wait for 60 dyas after the 485 ND.
How did you respond to your RFE?.. Did you have copies of all of your I -94 ?.. Please let me know...
