Reform Immigration For America reports that 500,000 people participated in May Day protests at 80 events around the country. I was attending my 20th law school reunion this weekend in Chicago so took the opportunity to attend the event in the Windy City. The crowd was enthusiastic with lots of signs criticizing SB1070 and calling for immigration reform. And lots of US flags .

I wonder how will the June\July bulletin change the job market - for technocrats...
Starting from Dec 1st many people will be eligible to switch jobs...people who were unable to do so till now.
And in Jan- many more will get into the "green" zone...
So here is the poll question:
Are you planning to change jobs ?:)
A: As soon as possible- Cant wait !!!
B:Yes- but not immediately - as soon as I find something good
C:Not Really- I am content where I am.

As reported in the Wall Street Journal, a surge in corporate profits is translating into increased hiring for the high tech industry and economic recovery could come faster than anticipated. Notwithstanding the job market showing some signs of life, U.S. unemployment remains at just under 10% and will likely remain high for some years to come. While employers added more than 160,000 jobs in March, the biggest monthly gain in three years, roughly one-third of the growth came from the government's hiring of 48,000 temporary workers for the 2010 Census. So what does this all mean for U.S. employers vis-a-vis...

Rising tensions are testing Reid-McConnell relations (http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/rising-tensions-are-testing-reid-mcconnell-relations-2007-06-14.html) By Manu Raju, June 14, 2007
Tensions are set to rise between the two parties in the Senate in coming weeks, threatening to stifle the Democratic legislative agenda and test the amicable relationship between Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Republican leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.).
After the collapse of immigration legislation last week over procedural concerns, rhetoric has been heating up. Democrats increasingly blame McConnell, who is up for reelection in 2008, tagging him as an obstructionist. The GOP stuck that same label on then Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), helping defeat him in his reelection bid in 2004.
Some conservatives, upset that the immigration bill came to the floor without committee deliberations, grumble that McConnell is not combative enough with Reid and should challenge anything that does not follow regular Senate order, aides to two conservative senators say.
That could unhinge the cordial relationship between Reid and McConnell, which both say remains strong despite burgeoning battles.
�This has not been an easy six months,� said Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.). �I think our friends on the other side of the aisle have wished to slow things down as much as possible with over and over again motions just to even go to a bill.�
Republicans accuse Reid of employing procedural tactics in an unprecedented way to bring legislation to the floor without committee debate, to limit amendments on the floor and to end debate on legislation.
�I don�t know if he understands the difference being a leader and being a dictator,� conservative Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said.
Next week, Reid wants to bring to the Senate floor a bill passed by the House that would make it easier for labor unions to organize workforces, aides say. The bill, long-sought by labor but opposed by business, has not gone through the Senate committee process. Republicans plan to object to the bill�s consideration, forcing Reid to find 60 votes if the measure is to be considered in the narrowly divided Senate.
Even if the Senate reaches that threshold, Republicans may object to a unanimous consent request to waive 30 hours of debate to proceed to the bill. Doing so would mean debate on the bill would dominate much of the week, which Reid, with scarce floor time and a packed agenda before the July 4 recess, wants to avoid.
Jostling over process reflects the parties� hope of framing political debate in the run-up to the 2008 elections, analysts say.
�I think Reid is ultimately � looking ahead to �08, to shape the party�s reputation as much as his own reputation,� said Sarah Binder, senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution. �How well the Democrats do in part is going to do depend on what Democrats do in Congress, and he can blame Republicans [for] creating stalemates.�
Republicans point out that Reid has filed 39 cloture motions to limit debate or proceed to legislation this Congress, which is on pace to shatter the 68 cloture motions filed in the entire 109th Congress.
�[B]The actions of the majority leader in filing cloture so many times this year takes the Senate out of its traditional role and it brings it more towards a House model, where debate is constricted,� said Brian Darling, director of Senate relations for the Heritage Foundation.
Two efforts to shut down debate on immigration failed last week after Republicans objected that too few of their amendments were considered during the Senate debate. Republicans complained that the Senate could have moved quickly and finished the immigration debate if Reid had tabled amendments or allowed many of them to be considered simultaneously. Reid retorted that Republicans were objecting to their own amendments and would not agree to a set number of amendments that could be considered.
When the immigration bill fell apart last week, McConnell said, �The message to the majority is, it�s going to take longer than you�d like to take, and it�s going to take more votes than you�d like to make. I think they have had to relearn that lesson several times. That is the reason this Congress, at least to this point, has such a paltry list of accomplishments.�
Reid shot back this week, saying his frequent use of cloture has been made necessary because of Republican obstruction.
McConnell �failed to mention that we have to do that because we�re not able to do anything without cloture,� Reid said. �On the most basic bills we did � lobbying ethics reform, minimum wage, 9/11 � everything that we�ve had to do, we have to get 60 votes first. So they�ve made it very difficult for us.�

Hi all,
I filled I-485 in 2007. Now I am waiting on the status adjustment and I have a quick question about job changes.
A starting-up company with only 2 employees has got a contract outside U.S.. They need to hire somebody to work for them outside U.S. for 1 year maybe longer. I happen to be their best candidate. My question is whether a small company like this one is able to sponsor me to get my GC. Does USCIS have minimum requirements for a company which can sponsor employees' GC application? For instance, a company must have at least 30 employees or over $3 million revenue. I really want this opportunity. But I don't want to ruin my GC application.
I greatly appreciate your time and your answers.
Thanks.
Kevin

We need help from IV members to add content in IV wiki at a single place (probably http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Immigration_to_US under frequently asked questions) that will be a guide for anyone that needs such information. People should know how to complain against any exploitation, fraud, not paying etc or anything illegal related to Immigration or Labor laws.
One such link that can be added in this section is :

Hi all,
This is urgent, your response is appreciated. I am switching jobs and my new employer wants me to go to the UK for some training in a week for about 5 days. They are sending the H1-B transfer application in couple of days, so the transfer has not been done. The img. lawer said they will send the receipt notice to me in the UK and I could travel back with my previous H1-B visa from my previous employer. I am a citizen of India woking in the STEM field for the last 2 years. I am still working and my employment will last for about 1 more week.
QUESTIONS:
1. Please let me know you see any problems at immigration when coming back to the US?
2. Can the employer wait couple of more weeks before sending cancellation of my H1-B visa without paying me during that time?
3. If I take an unpaid leave durimg this time, will that help?
Thanks,
R, Ph.D

Bill Text - 111th Congress (2009-2010) - THOMAS (Library of Congress) (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:S.3702:)
A bill has been referred to the committee and sponsored by Sen. Sessions.
Sen. Sessions is very anti-amnesty, and looks like he is pushing a bill for the legal immigrants-in-waiting. We do not yet know the contents of the bill, but hopefully by later this week, the text of the bill would be available in the library of congress.
I think given the current political environment we can get the senators and house representatives to vote in its favor.
Lets see what the actual contents of the bill are tomorrow/day-after.

The Highway Patrol officer pulls over a speeder on the freeway. It's a young woman in a Red Camaro. "Do you know how fast you were going?", he questions her. "I don't know, officer", she stammers. "I'm late for a job interview, and I wasn't paying a lot of attention. I'm really sorry." "Not as sorry as I am" replies the officer, who takes out his pistol, and shoots each of her tires. "If I ever catch you speeding again, I'll shoot you!" Then he arrests her and takes her to jail. Did this really happen? Of course not! In...

To invoke AC21 after 180 days of pending I485, I140 does not have to be approved. But its risky as your I485 application is based on I140, if things go wrong with underlying I140 then your I485 case will be affected.
Please refer to Yates Memo for AC21.

To Invoke AC21(to work on EAD) Your I140 must be approved and you need to pass 180 days after your RecieptDate.

I was laid off in Dec 2009, but severance will stop till early Feb. Now I found two potential jobs. Company A is a corporation in same state, but company B is a university in some other State.
1. How long will take them to transfer my H1B? does the different States matter on this transfer time? I want to make sure which one can submit the H1B transfer before my paycheck stops in Feb.
2. In order to apply for Green Card later, which job is better for Green Card application? I heard university will not help the staff (accountant) for Green Card application. Is that true?
Thank you so much!
