Now hiring of foreign workers won�t be an easy job for the employers. The government is on its way to make foreign worker rules tougher from this very week.

Hello All,
I just wanted to ask for your general advice. My H1B expires in July 2010 so I know I have to turn in my PERM application before then so I really have only about 2 months to start recruitment process. I also have a green card to Canada so I could go there but I do like my current job in the US and living in New York City is really great!
Anyway, my question is. How tough do you think it will be to start PERM process now in this current economic downturn and the fact that it is in New York (millions of people)? Do you also think there might be some legislation in a near future to make it more difficult for us to get green cards?
I understand you can't answer those questions exactly, but a piece of advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all!

Dems have tough time enacting changes (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/D/DEMOCRATS_WHATS_DIFFERENT?SITE=VAROA&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT) By CHARLES BABINGTON Associated Press Writer Jun 2
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Under a portrait of George Washington and a sign proclaiming "A New Direction," Democratic lawmakers boasted of their accomplishments their first five months running Congress.
Their press release covered two pages.
Yet most people might be excused for hardly noticing, except maybe those who are paid the minimum wage or who live in hurricane-ravaged areas.
Upon taking control in January, Democrats led efforts to increase the minimum wage for the first time in a decade and to force modest spending increases in hurricane and drought relief, children's health care and a few other areas.
Beyond that, the majority party has found it difficult or impossible to redirect federal policies, thwarted by a veto-wielding Republican president whose congressional allies hold nearly half the Senate seats and a significant portion of the House.
To the frustration of their liberal base, Democrats have been unable to mandate a timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq. Nor have they found a way to boost federal support for embryonic stem cell research, rewrite tax and spending priorities or force the removal of an embattled attorney general.
Their promises to reduce student loan rates, overhaul lobbying practices and put in place recommendations of the Sept. 11 commission are works in progress, at best.
They have largely abandoned their push to allow the government to negotiate prescription drug prices for the Medicare program in the face of Bush's opposition.
Democratic voters might be disappointed, but they should not be surprised, say congressional scholars and political strategists. While Democrats can set the legislative agenda and investigate the Bush administration, they "don't have the power" to determine the results, said Ronald Walters, a political scientist at the University of Maryland.
Lacking the two-thirds majorities needed in both chambers to override a veto, Democrats must make the most of their abilities to pressure the White House, hold oversight hearings and drive the toughest bargains they can, Walters said.
"Democrats are in a negotiating framework consistently," Walters said. "That's where they will be as long as the president has a veto pen."
Even the Democrats' most clear-cut legislative victory - raising the minimum wage to $7.25 from the current $5.15 over three years - has questionable impact.
Only a small fraction of workers earns the minimum wage, and Democrats had to buy Republican support with $4.84 billion in new tax cuts for small businesses.
Still, raising the minimum wage has value as a fairness issue, some Democrats say. They urge the party's constituents to welcome such symbolic and incremental victories in a divided government.
Having Democrats control the House and Senate "makes a huge difference, given the set of challenges the country faces and given that so little was done in the last Congress," said former Democratic Rep. Tim Roemer of Indiana, a member of the Sept. 11 commission.
Democrats have shifted the debate in important ways that may lead to policy changes in this Congress or the next, he said.
On Iraq, Roemer said "it's no longer a question of if" the United States will adopt a withdrawal timeline, only a question of when.
Citing global warming, he said Congress is no longer seriously debating whether the problem exists - as it did last year under Republican control- but considering how to address it.
Veteran Democrats say party supporters must understand that legislative victories often will come at the margins of major issues.
Consider children's health care, a Democratic campaign priority. Congress in May added an immediate $650 million to the State Children's Health Insurance Program. Budget bills for 2008 call for an extra $50 billion, but the effort must survive the appropriations process, and Bush has pledged to veto measures he considers too costly.
Democratic leaders hailed the increases for the children's program, even as they acknowledged the proposed new spending would hardly fill the health insurance gaps.
The change in control of Congress is important, "but what it doesn't mean is the Democrats can impose their will," said Florida Democrat Bob Graham, a former senator, governor and presidential candidate. "It does mean the Democrats can set the agenda and force issues" to the forefront, such as a minimum wage raise that Republicans had blocked for years.
Perhaps the most dramatic change in Congress involves the rising number and intensity of hearings into alleged misdoings by the administration.
Subjects of investigations include contracting practices in Iraq; the use of prewar intelligence; the firings of federal prosecutors; the use of warrantless wiretaps; the friendly fire death in Afghanistan of Army Cpl. Pat Tillman; and the use of political e-mail accounts by White House officials.
The "amazing lack of oversight of White House programs and initiatives" that existed under GOP-controlled congresses has ended, Walters said.
Some Democratic activists say it is important to remind voters that Bush and congressional Republicans play a central role in legislative impasses.
"It's hard to see a lot getting done," said lobbyist Steve Elmendorf, a former top House Democratic aide. "I don't know if Bush has the juice to deliver the Republican votes he needs" even on issues the president strongly backs, such as a proposed overhaul of immigration laws, he said.
At the end of this Congress, Elmendorf predicted, Democrats will have "a record of fiscal responsibility" and voters will understand that they could not overcome Bush's resistance on matters such as embryonic stem cell research.
As for the Iraq war, he said, even if Democrats can't force a withdrawal deadline, "the message that Americans are getting is: Democrats want change, Republicans don't."

Hi Friends,
My AP is expering next month(NOV), I don't have any travel plans for next 1 year. i'm planing to apply in 2010 not now.
do i need to apply for extesion for evey year, if don't need also?
thks
There is no AP renewal. You can apply AP later if you are not planning to travel. But AP is for travel during emergencies. It takes time to get the AP approval. Hence people keep it current all the time.

sorry, posted this under wrong category I don't know how to delete it.
I received a RFE regarding medical test because the Civil Surgeon didn't complete some of the forms properly. I replied bak to the RFE few days after I received it (within the allowed time).
my question is how many days does it take USCIS on average to look at my reply to the RFE and make a decision on my I-485 application (my PD is current as of June VB and been current for months now)
if USCIS does not make a decision and if PD retrogresses in July VB and I won't be current, does that mean that USCIS won't make a decision then untill my PD is current again???
Please advise. Thank you

Hi Guru's,
I am currently in INDIA and applying for my H1. I have a couple of questions regarding this:
Back Ground:
1. My husband and myself are applying for H1 B.
2. Company A is sponsoring H1 for my husband and company B is applying for H1 for me.
Q & A:
1. As H1 B is lottery system this time too, we both are applying for H1. Is it possible that, if both of us get H1's, can I still enter into US on H4 status and later convert to H1.
Your valuable suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Regards
Poorni

Hi,
My employers are considering transfering me to another group company (different name) during the next 1-2 months. My job profile will remain unchanged, but the employer name/address (on paychecks, etc) will be different after the transfer. My I-140 is still pending (filed in Aug 2007 together with I-485 at NSC under EB-3).
I'd greatly appreciate anyone's advice on the following:
a) If I transfer before my I-140 is approved, do I need to notify USCIS in writing? If so, does any specific paperwork need to be filled out? My employers have assured me they will continue to support my I-140/485 under the original company name, for as long as required.
b) If I transfer after approval of I-140 (fingers crossed!), do I need to notify USCIS? Again, is any specific paperwork necessary?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I have posted my case details but here it is again. I got a reject on my H1 after receiving 221(g) form. Same old reason cited in the letter. The case reached USCIS on 28th Jan and no progress after that.
My husband works for the same company and he got his visa stamped after 221(g). Now i am planning to apply for H4. I have a few questions.
1)Can i go for H4 stamping without revoking my earlier H1? Will i be asked to revoke my H1?
2)Since my husband works for the same firm and i got a reject working for the same firm, can my H4 be a problem?
3)Can it be a problem to my husband's H1 who got it stamped successfully and is already in the US?
4)My idea of not revoking H1 is because i want to try a COS once i am in US, which some people have done it successfully. But does anyone know if this has to be done before April, before the new H1B quota opens up?

Most people think the Border Patrol just patrols the border. But Nina Bernstein reports in the New York Times this morning that the agency is involved in doing checks on Amtrak trains going between major cities like Chicago and New York that don't actually go by the border. Border Patrol officers roam the trains asking people for their papers documenting US citizenship or a legal right to be in the US. The story reports that many people - particularly students - have been removed from the trains even though they had proper documentation. In one case, a Pakistani student was...
