I received 3 year extensions twice in a row despite my having asked for only 1 year because I did not have my I-140 approved. Both times I let the USCIS know about the error and applied for an extension once the 1 year was up. The USCIS policy states that it is up to you to inform them if they made an error so I would recommend that when your year is up, apply for an extension and attach a letter notifying them that the last time you extended, you received extra time on your H1B.
Or you could inform them right now and get them to send you an amended I-797 and I-94. Either way, it would be risky for you long-term wise to take advantage of their processing mistake.

Patience and optimism :)
i have started listening to conservative talk radio to listen to the ideas from the other side. A little bit of rush limbauh and the jon & ken show (AM 640 southern california). They have made a big issue about the heritage foundation report. I think the main battleground will be the when the house and senate get together. A lot of wheeling, dealing and rewriting will take place there. It will be good retrogression relief is in the senate version, atleast there will be a chance that it will be included in the final bill.
Based on a couple of house members interviews i heard on the AM640 their strategy is to stall or kill the current senate measure and force another bill right before the elections in october. This might be totally irrelevant. I am a newbee to the whole process so i am reading the threads and learning about issues from the media.
Actually i hope someone knowledgeble with IV goals calls AM640 and explains the legal immigration issue to them, they are passionate about low skilled people being a burden on the social system and have talked about the skilled immigration.

I have little different situation. After my company was acquired. We are a subsidiary of this new owner co, with our own HR, however payroll went to new company. So now my H1B is still with old company. , yet I get pay check from new company.
I have approved I140. Does the acquisition affect anything in my GC process? Considering my HR (and Legal Deptt.) is still owning the GC process.
Thanks in advance.
Some more information:
1. After merger, my company HR & legal Deptt are functioning independently.
2. Company is still handling its own H1 employees' & immigration related matters. However pay check comes from old company.
Do I need to file an amended I140 (I140 is already approved)

In my opinion-this means they are serious about doing something this year. It seems that this is probably being brought in as "back up" in case STRIVE and SKIL fail to pass, as it is provisional -till 2009.
The mention of "2009" can also suggest that there is a consensual deeply felt need for CIR, but poiltics of Iraq and Presidential bid next year, might not allow it to happen this year, so it can be done in 2009, the first year of the new white house.
Either ways ,I am taking this bill as a good indicator of our issues being understood and that there is a desire to fix them, however the timing is not politically right. But there is a desire to do something---which is similar idea that was mentioned earlier by a core team member that we are "pork" for STRIVE.
Something will happen this year.
On April 11, 2007, Senator Chuck Hagel, Republican from Nebraska, introduced the High-Tech Worker Relief Act, which is aimed at providing short term relief for U.S. employers who cannot recruit or retain needed talent to stay competitive because of the current visa shortage. If enacted, Senator Hagel's bill would:
� Raise the H-1B cap for fiscal year 2007 from 65,000 to 115,000, and for fiscal year 2008 from 65,000 to 195,000, allowing the quota to revert to 65,000 by fiscal year 2009 if no further legislation passes.
� Exempt foreign students who earn masters degrees or above in the United States from the H-1B visa numerical limit.
� Exempt STEM advanced degree graduates who have 3 years of U.S. work experience as a non-immigrant from the numerical limit on employment-based immigrant visas, in addition to those who are deemed to have extraordinary ability, are outstanding professors and researchers, and whose presence is determined to be in the national interest of the United States.
� Exempt spouses and minor children of the principal applicant from employment-based immigrant visa quotas.
� Exempt foreign physicians from the immigrant visa quota if they agree to work full time for five years in an area with a shortage of health care professionals, or if they work for five years in a Department of Veterans Affairs health care facility.
This seems to be a very nice bill with limited and non-contraversial provisions unlike SKIL bill. SKIL has somany provisions that makes it hard to convince the law makers. But this bill is very nicely drawn by getting impartant ones that we all need.

How about putting up -- similar to the "action alert" on the home page, not buried deep inside some forum/thread -- a template letter that folks can use to customize and then snail-mail to their congress-persons?
The idea is to compile such a template, with most of the background -- what is retrogression, country specific quota for EB but not for H1 etc -- properly explained.
May be we can begin a campaign to snail-mail such personalized letters to the congress-persons -- say one letter per member per week -- it would be impossible for them to ignore.

Bump... Lawyers, Pls. help us understand if the lawsuit is feasible. If not what is different.
I don't think the lawsuit is feasible.
Get the numbers for last 10 years for the immigrant visa numbers allocated to India/China. Since numbers are more than allocated under quota, there is no legal ground to file the lawsuit.

I have a B. E. degree and 7+ years work exp in IT. My H-1B was filed as a Software Engg. I work as a Programmer Analyst (designation, and on my offer letter as well).
My wife has a master's degree and H-1B (software engg) and 2 year work experience in IT as a Software Engg.
Both me and my wife have enough points (> 70) to meet that criteria. I did some research but I couldn't determine if we qualify for Canadian GC as skilled worker or Provincial nominee.
What all options we have.. any suggestions?
Highly appreciate it!
Same question here. The only category I see is for Managers in IT. Don't see anyother category in IT.

I have filed my I-485 in December 2007 with new fees $ 1010 and it is still pending even though my priority dates are all the time current since I filed the I-485.....I just applied for I-131 and I-765 for rennewal with $305 and $340....It was free for only first time then all have to pay for renewal.
Hope this answer your question.
My understanding was same as "fromnaija" that if you filed 485 under new fee structure you will never have to pay for derivative benefits. btw, did you file for renewal yourself or via attorney? Any chance that attorney may have pocketed the money? ;)

Guys,
The answer is very subjective. If your wife is not intending to work after she gets here, I think you are reasonably safe to bring her here on h4 and then maintain h1 status till you can file her 485.
On the flip side, if you get her here and file 485, both you and her can take advantage of EAD/AP and change jobs and stuff. Seeing that your priority date is 2006, unless you are very lucky (and it has happenned in some cases), your 485 will not get approved in the near future without a law change. In such situation, you will be stuck without having the ability to change jobs and your spouse being able to work. Trust me, she will be in a very frustrating position if she wants to work.
So I would say get her here right now and get married and file her 485 with yours. Else you might be stuck in retro for a long long time.
Cheers
She is in India. Her family is traditional and I am not sure how to approach the topic of asking her parents to allow her to come to USA (after registered marriage) before the real marriage. I am finding it delicate to discuss this topic to their parents.

nop ... none of the companies are legally bound to file your GC ... they do it to keep you on their payroll and exploit you over a longer period of time ... for big companies they always does the same .. either they will do it late or will never do it .... so better keep your resume fine tuned and put it on job sites ...
Agree they are not legally bound but once they accept to file your GC "Without ifs and buts" on offer letter and then do not file GC, then you can challenge them. In this case "Satisfactory Performance" is the "If and but"
If this guy will try to challenge, HR will simply give in writing "Not satisfactory performance and so did not file GC" and thus case closed.

At the risk of sounding cynical, I am contemplating a scenario, wherein a "compromised" CIR (not addressing the core - but by shades, on the legal/skilled immigration) is hurried through the imposed May 31 deadline..
Would SKIL then be allowed to last it's length (in the event the CIR already carried a flavor of legal immigration)? Are Sen.Brownback's amendments aimed to go alongwith CIR or would they stay as isolated flashes waiting to be attached to any immigration bill?

I think Yes, the person need to wait to get the approval. What i have heard from people is that , its easy to convert to H4, even if you dont have paystub by going to home country and stamping again, but the next time you invoke your H1B again, USCIS will ask for the paystubs/employment during the last H1B period. I dont know how much of that is true
I think H1 to h4 is a normal process...
But some say we need to have atleast 1/2 paystubs.
and after changing from h1 to H4, Do we need to wait till we get H4 approval to convert back to h1 if we find any job?
