BharatPremi, do you know if one can have both 485 and CP processes simultaneously?
SIMULTANEOUSLY you can't have both. Either AOS or CP. One can covert one from another but it introduces enormous delay. AOS-to-CP atleast 1 year more delay and for CP-to-AOS at least 3 to 6 months delay.

Generally the trigger to cancel previous visa is if you have been approved a new visa. From my personal experience the consulate officer upon determining (after interview etc) that you qualify for H1B will cancels H4. If for some reason you do not qualify for H1B there is a good chance that they will not cancel H4. In any case she can always reapply for H4 if for some reason they cancel H4 without approving H1B which is very unlikely.
Good Luck.
Thanks for the response.
How does one safegaurd against the consulate canceling dependant visa?

So why didn't we accept the current retrogression as "injustice and screwed up process of USCIS" and just sat tight? Why did IV get started? Why threadful of messages moaning in agony over the retrogression? What warranted those threads, and for that matter, IV then?
There are no 2 ways to this.. it is injustice and screwed up process of DOL and USCIS.....but the situation (DOL) is no different than 1 day ago. it should not warrant you to start this thread.

ok so essentially this drastic forward movement of dates means that people who have really old PD's will get screwed as the dates will beocome unvailable for a few months and then like 2005 the dates will go back to 1999 and then take another 6 months or 1 year to come back to 2001-2002 timeframe.
As much as I want everyone to have the benefit of EAD/AP with this date movement, this date movement is going to create serious trouble for those who got stuck in BEC's. Either they won't have the opportunity to apply 485 because they are still stuck or if they managed to file 485 after years of agony they will be stuck in 140/485 queues. Ahhh the wonderful pain of US green card. Sometimes it makes you wonder how much worth it really is :(
They wont adjudicate the applications until the quota for your country and category becomes current for your PD.

EB3I dates never really crossed 2001 after the JUL 07 drama which screwed all EB3 in my opinion.
1) USCIS never looked at those cases which got ported out. So if they try to process cases in 2002 they might end up finding lesser cases needing approval than they actually counted, could be bcoz of porting or people who gave up and left the country. USCIS is auto porting the date if you have old labor and i140, I know few friends who got GC like that.
2) At this pace EB2 will be current by mid next year, once it is processing time for 485 is at least 4 months which will fall into 2012, so the same huge number of spill will come to EB3 ROW. If the spill over is too much USCIS may consider spilling it to worst retrogressed countries.
-ve aspect: If USCIS starts doing quarterly spill over this may not happen. So as per my logic USCIS will start doing quarterly spill soon.
3) The as&***s who decided to change the spill to vertical might get bitten by a mad donkey or a dog and might change it back to the old model. I don't see any &&)) why all the spill has to go vertically from 2007, bcoz we irritated USICS or DOS by kissing their weak spots.
4) As per my Karma or belief model whatever IV does, hurts EB3 more. I don't think any admin fix will fix the vertical spill or recapture.
Good luck EB3 i guys and try to keep ur frustration levels to LOW.

Slumdog,
Quality of life does not come only with buying a house alone.
People who stretched themselves to buy an unaffordable house by going for creative mortgages probably fearing that they will be priced out of the housing market, may not be enjoying the quality of life when 70% of the paycheck is going towards mortgage and after a few years worrying that their houses are 40% down from where they bought!
You can RENT a house and have better quality of life because you will have more money to spend on rest of the things in life.
I came here in 2000 too and haven't bought a house yet. I shall not buy unless it is affordable and I don't have to nickle and dime after making mortgage payment every month.. Another one year and I am sure houses will come in my range, if not I am happy renting for rest of my life or move to a place where I can afford a house.(I live in San Francisco area right now).
Another short story to end it.
A friend's friend bought a big house, close to a million dollars. Husband and wife both work. My friend complimented them by telling them that they have a really nice and big house. The guy responded.."Yeah only thing is I can't get a peaceful sleep in it.. substantial amount of monthly income goes towards mortgage!"
Point is you want to be a home owner or have a peaceful life?

Hi!
My friend (in the US, on J1, no HRR) has been offered a position with a Non profit organization. They do not have experience with H1b process and want her to tell them about the process, and how she can work here legally (starting June).
I understand that she will not fall under the quota and does not have to wait till Oct 1st. Can someone please provide information (some links) on the following:
1) Can one do premium processing for H1b (first time for her), even though it is a non profit organization? Or is premium processing only for cases that fall under the cap?
2) I noticed that the fee is:
- 190 for application
- 500 for fraud security
- 750 or 1500 depending on whether there are 25 or more employees
- $1000 premium processsing
- $$$ for the lawyer to prepare and file the petition
Is it required by law that all the application fees be paid by the Employer, or can it also be paid by the beneficiary? I understand that the permium processing fee can be paid by the beneficiary, and perhaps the lawyer fees too.
3) Does the employer need to get any certifications/approvals from the Labor department before filing for H1B?
4) Can the entire process by done online?
I will really appreciate it someone could help with answers to these questions.
Thanks.
Response to your queries: -
1) Yes, one can do Premium Processing even if it is for a Not-for-Profit organization. I work in a university and I did the same.
2) USCIS does not care where the fees come from; all they care is about the right amount. Having said that, typically, the employer pays all of it - its the cost of employing a person; however, it can be split in any way between the employer and the employee with mutual understanding.
3) I believe they do!
4) Probably not!

It will come from your mouth that our reforms have been passed. This is all what we hope and """ We are not forcing you get it done"" as few of the members think.
You will be Yamdooth or the you will be the God of Savoir (according to Hindu religion.:D :D
If we have to get it done it has to be this year, else it will be a very long wait and we all don't have any more patience.
It is a crucial time for us to be each other's saviour Gods by making this organization strong. We have to do it ourselves since this problem affects each one us.
We get enough hatemails from antiimmigrants and we are not scared of them!. Today I came across a mail from an IV member talking nonsense about us. We can be our worst enemies and Lord of Death for the community if we don't stay united in times of need.
We can all be Godsent saviours for each other if we all can pull this effort off. Lets continue to strengthen IV.

Are they not going to give the same message that you see on the online status page? How different is the case status info going to be from the online status page? I am curious to know ... so that I can call too.
Yes...but after they verbally repeat the same status message as the one online, politely request to be transferred to Level 2. Level 2 typically has a little more info on your case than the customer service agent that picked up your call initially.

Dear All,
While we are really thankful to all the Pundits who spend their valuable time and energy to work on the number game, we should all realize one basic fact which will affect all of us :
Both EB2 and EB3 will very soon (may be 1 or 2 years) get totally jammed. This is not very difficult to realize this bitter truth.
This can be attributed to :
1. Very high porting India / ROW (which is legal and I have nothing against it. No offense please)
2. Increased ROW filing under EB2 category
3. Increased EB1 filing by Indian IT companies (Programmers and many with basic degrees who would only qualify for EB3 or at the most EB2)
It is hence a matter of time, when lightning will strike both EB2 and EB3. It is high time that all of us understand this basic mathematics and start working together. Contributing and attending the advocacy is a step in the right direction.
Note:
During one of my recent visits to the Congressman's office I was told that INS is now aware of the fraudulent EB1 filing by Indian IT companies. This process is being scrutinized more carefully, now. Infact, I was told that several letters have been received in the Congressman's office about this. The Congressman's office have also contacted the INS and spoken them about this. The Immigration aide also told me that to impose stricter scrutiny and punitive action, people like us, must flood the offices of the law makers' office with thousands of letters, exposing this fraud. Nothing has a better impact than signed letters sent by post (not Email). I once again plead with all members to meet law makers and send several thousand letters on this. Spending 45 mins on a letter (typing, printing, posting etc) may save 5 years of wait! Please think it over!!!
GOD bless the EB Community!

If you're really bright Microsoft, Oracle will still hire you.
I can tell you that if you have good communication skills getting hired here it's not a problem, in fact they won't even ask you if you're not a US citizen until the end.
I'm from a country in the Americas and I can say that most of the time there are limit for foreigners working in a company.
So its not unreasonable to put some limits.

^^^^ A very important day, where the house representation is expected to significantly change affecting the outcome of future bills, especially related to legal and illegal immigration.
Hope the changes today are for the better in general and will also help our situation.
It will be a fallacy to think anything will be done for legal immigrants because Republicans will take over the house. The main intent of that party is to throw Obama out after one term and so for the next 2 years any progressive legislation is highly unlikely (I am not talking about CIR. I think it is a given that CIR is not going anywhere in the near future). But, I am an optimist!

Hey GCN007, congratulations to you. We are very happy that folks with PD<01/08/05 are getting their long-awaited approvals - India or not, IV members or not. Clearly the wait is frustrating and the relief is boundless and we are happy for those who have found that relief.
But, are extreme metaphors really necessary? I don't think anyone here will be willing to chop off body parts for green cards! :) And I don't think it will give anyone receiving them as much relief/happiness.
Congrats again and thanks for your good wishes. :)
Thank you Ksrk
It was merely an expression. I am sure you guys get the point.
Hangin there. 2004 will be cleared soon. If not this month, next month.

Thats called "desperate". It happens in all aspects of life. Not just green card.
Very true. We are most vulnerable when we are desperate. But, we are learning to research deeper before believing anything. Thats the lesson learned from this episode.
