Would any increase in the H-1B cap enacted this year have any implications for the current year or would it only relate to FY 2009 and going forward.
Thanks.
Thanks.

See you all in Bangalore and Shanghai.
I'm sure people here dont have that agility and adaptability to adjust in India and China. Though I heard lots of gora are in Hyderabad and other cities that wont be for long term. And without people from India/China IT can't survive here. Much bigger market (than Internet) will be fighting global warming. These guys won't screw their future by doing all these nonsense laws. Let us "C" what happens.

I read through the bill but don't quite understand...if I am working for a client on H1B, will I need to stop working as soon as this bill takes effect? or it only applies to newly applied H1B's (or extension/transfer)?
Yes, that is my understanding at this point based on the language . As soon as the bill goes into effect, you will need to stop working at the client site if the bill passes in its current form AND you are working as a FT employee (w-2) of a mere placement company (aka agent or desi consulting). If you are an FT employee of big consulting company then until they get waiver for you AND your current client proves that no layoffs were done at the client site in the last 180 days, you will need to stop working.

Ok. But how does this apply to immigration?
On the page you quote, below is what I see -
The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice enforces federal laws that prohibit discrimination in:
Education
Employment
Housing
Lending
Public Accommodations
Law Enforcement / Police Misconduct
Voting
The "per-country limit" is definitely unfair within the realm of employment-based immigration due to the outdated and irrelevant law which needs reform. However skewing this to make it a civil rights issue is pushing it a bit too much.
So coming back to Immigration (which is what, I believe, we are discussing), below is what I came across on congress.gov.
The Supreme Court has ruled that the Congressional power to regulate naturalization, from Article 1, Section 8, includes the power to regulate immigration (see, for example, Hampton v. Mow Sun Wong, 426 U.S. 88 [1976]
In other words, the Constitution does not specifically mention immigration but based on the above, delegates power to the Congress to pass laws to regulate immigration. This Article of the Constitution also clarifies the part about rules for immigrants and quotas being set at the Federal level and not State level.
The above is a fact, not my opinion. Therefore, No - I do not agree that your reasoning has any direct parallel to our case since the correct approach and reasoning involves challenging a Supreme Court Ruling on Article 1 of the Constitution, which you would agree is next to impossible.
There are far too many points here to address at one go. Let me touch upon this for starters:
The Article 1, Section 8 has this clause, regarding the power of congress:
Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization
Are we disputing the fact that congress has the power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization?
No. We are not. We are just saying, that the current Rule of Naturalization is in violation of the discrimination clause in the constitution, and ought to be disregarded. We are not asking to strip congress of this power, so this argument you make is not relevant. Agreed?
More later ..

hi october2001,
Did you use PO box as address on I-485? I had heard USCIS does not accept PO box as address in I-485.
they do according to my lawyer and I got my welcome notice the last time sent to my PO BOX the first time they sent the Welcome notice they sent it to my physical address not PO BOX but because the address didn't have the C/O name of my friend and then my name so the mailman when He read the name and looked in the mailbox he didn't found my name so he returned it to the sender USCIS if USCIS wrote C/O...he would of let it (the mailman) the second time USCIS sent it to my PO BOX directly ( what they did they included the original envelope that was sen to my physical address with the return to sender tag and the time received and sent ... + the original Welcome notice with the physical address on it all these two item sent in another envelope sent to my PO BOX
I hope this is clear

Nothing ever is super-fast. Certainly not the green card. You had your share of waiting. Its just that you suddenly see light at the end of tunnel and before you realize you are out of it. So it feels like a dream.
There have been folks who have got their greens in two years flat. Not because they were the smartest workers around. That is lightening fast.
Congratulations to you.

Not wrong.. I said it's "being" cancelled..
No one knows for sure what the final rule is likely to be. Chances are anyone who doesn't have approved petition may be rejected once substitution is cancelled.
People sometimes don't want to believe bad news.. and this is what is going on with some desi employers and immigration lawyers..
but all signs are it's gonna happen and very soon.. maybe March 1st. I myself struggled and decided against someone who offered me in past 1 month.

I like your response, really -- I think it's frank and hits upon what it means to be Indian at heart.
BUT, when one makes a decision to immigrate - he/she's not just making that decision for himself - but also for his/her spawns and the future generations to come. Is it fair for us to rob them of (well, i know most american born desi kids don't care a rats ass about going/being in India) - what it feels to be an Indian at Heart? what it 'Really' feels like to be watching/talking cricket/movies on 'em gullies, what it's like to be eating gaadi chaat, what a festival should really feel/look like .. and a bunch of other stuff- -that happens only in India.
not trying to discount anyone's opinions .. it's just the internal dilemma that needs addressing
Ofcourse, the world is getting smaller - faster than ever. The next generation of american born desi kids may well be more desi than their indian counterparts .. some food for thought :rolleyes:

I know a lot of people using pre approved labor certs waiting for GC. What happens to them? I think this rule will affect only those who are trying to do Labor substitution in future.
* Since this is a final rule, upon approval by OMB, the elimination of substitution and 45-day validity of certified labor certification will be triggered. Take this message as a very special alert! This rule will not only eliminate substitutition on the OMB approval and release in the Federal Register but also kill the certified labor certification unless it is used within 45 days from the date of certification! Please stay tuned to this web site reporting.

I don't think I agree completely. I called all of the lawmakers for the CHC campaign, and while you are right, I spoke to the assistants, they were all polite and promised to pass on the message, which is what matters in the end.
Lawmakers know that we do not have voting privileges yet, but they also know that we are contributing to this economy far greater than many. I do not remember the source or the thread, but this question was asked before about an online petition, but ironically, that is shown to be not as effective as phone calls.
If you ask me to sign a piece of paper, I might do it even if I am only vaguely supportive of the idea. But I will certainly not take the trouble to call (or better yet) go to the senator/congressman's office and present my case in person unless I really beleive in it.
regarding your "saar.. support the bill..." comment, I would not go there if I were you. Thats a whole different can of worms and borders on an insult to a) people who are not from that part of India (or for that matter the world) and b) more importantly, for people from that part of the world who are in this country since a long time and have taken the pains to lose the accent.
Finally, even if one speaks in an accent, is that the sole reason for a lawmaker to disregard him? Then should a Tennessee senator not listen to someone from New York because the New yorker speaks English in a New York accent?
Please remember IV may be largely Indian, but it is a meeting place for legal immigrants from all over the world. The same way as India may be "largely Hindu" but it is still a secular country and we have had many great citizens and leaders that were not Hindu, the current president notwithstanding.
Very well answered and the sarcastic language the OP used just shows elitism and out of touch with the situation at hand.

Contrary to what most believe - Contributing is the easiest thing to do. Send some money and forget about it. And the most effective one too. Lobbying is IVs greatest tool to make changes in the legal system. If you still don't get it, you cannot get any law passed in Washington without lobbying. Whatever we do on the side is to help that effort.
Volunteering is much more tougher. By volunteering I don't mean giving the next Brightest Unworkable idea or the daily-dose of rants on an online forum. Volunteering in my world (real one) means sacrificing personal time (with family) for the greater good of a community.
Calling members, planning & conducting meetings, telecons, write letters to lawmakers and meet them, put IV booths in local events. In short, it's a thankless job. At the end of the day you're more hated than loved (ask Chandu)!
IMO Volunteering and contribution are not separate. It's member buy-in. Either you agree to a principle or you don't. If you agree, you'll contribute as well as volunteer (when you can). If you don't agree, you don't.

Visa Bulletin Mess Update: Rumors and Innuendo
HLG has confirmed that the CIS is not returning I-485 Applications back to those who filed I-485 during the first week of July. This is leading many to speculate that the CIS may reverse course and re-re-amend the July Visa Bulletin; whether the Visa Bulletin actually reopens remains to be seen. HLG normally refrains from commenting on rumors, but we have talked to several Washington insiders and believe that this is seriously being considered

I think that is what they will do in order not to look like fools.
the question is, What happens to those july filers whose applications have not been returned yet and who will become current in the next bulletin.
Will USCIS ask them for the new fees.... Will they have to do all paperwork again including medicals.....what a mess!
It will be even interesting for cases that are not returned but will not be current in next bulletin. Your medical reports are valid for one year.
