A fat report and one with some helpful recommendations and statistics. Here are some of the more interesting items I found - - Of the top 150 H-1B employers, 24 were deemed H-1B dependent (a high percentage of workers on the H-1B) and 9 had prior H-1B violations. - Real earnings growth for US workers in occupations with proportionately more H-1B workers - particularly IT - was actually much stronger than the general US worker. - Engineers and IT professionals on H-1Bs were more than twice as likely as their US counterparts to have advanced degrees. - The proportion of...

I got my H1 approved in Oct 2004 and it was from Oct 2004 - Oct 2007. I used only 6 months of H1 and later went on TN (work visa for Canadian citizens) and remained in US working on TN for 4 years. I was in US all these years. Now even the earlier H1 approval duration is over, Can I apply for H1 with another employer using the old 2004 H1 quota cap or it has to be under new 2009 cap? Thanks in advance.
Your H1 is NOT subject to cap as you had H1 in last 6 years.

House Democrats Try Softening Their Tone; Lawmakers Seek Republican Votes Amid Veto Threats (http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB119491416890790655.html) By David Rogers | Wall Street Journal, Nov 13, 2007
WASHINGTON -- Down in the polls, House Democrats are showing a little more finesse as they try to move their legislative agenda around the wall of veto threats thrown up by President Bush.
Cute is out; conciliation is in. Late-night talks with Republican moderates intensified last week on the Democrats' signature health- care initiative -- extending coverage to millions of working class children. Staff negotiations continued during the holiday weekend, and Georgia Rep. Nathan Deal, a Democrat-turned-Republican with expertise on health and welfare issues, has been invited in by both sides as a broker.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D., Wis.) last week abandoned a confrontational plan to pair defense and education budgets, which would have dared the president to veto both. Instead the two bills were sent separately to Mr. Bush, who could veto the education measure as early as today. Looking ahead to the override vote, Mr. Obey took care to preserve House Republican provisions regarding abortion, child vaccines and abstinence education.
The House is scheduled Thursday to take up an antipredatory lending bill that is a showcase of cooperation between the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Rep. Barney Frank (D., Mass.) and his ranking Republican, Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama.
"He called up and said why don't you come down to my office and tell me what you need to be on the bill," said Rep. Steve LaTourette (R., Ohio) of his own dealings with the chairman. Mr. Frank is a close ally of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and has urged Democrats to permit more Republican amendments as a way to change the political tone in the House.
"It's transactional -- you have to see what it brings," Mr. Frank said. "But Hubert Humphrey once said, 'Whenever I get cute, I blow it.' That's the same thing I'm saying: if you try to be too political there's a backlash."
That backlash is evident: Congress's approval rating has fallen from 31% in March to 19% this month in the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.
A year after returning to power, House Democrats are at a crossroads. The party's early agenda -- tougher ethics rules, a minimum-wage increase and more aid for college students -- is largely in place. To go further, the majority must overcome not just presidential vetoes but the often-crippling partisan bitterness left from 12 years under Republican rule.
The war in Iraq, which permeates Washington and again divides the House this week, makes that cooperation harder. As the president lays down vetoes, he seems to prefer a divided Congress that poses less of a challenge. And the Senate's filibuster rules, which require a 60- vote supermajority just to get a bill to the White House, are an added frustration for House Democrats.
Allies of Ms. Pelosi said she could do more to take the lead and soften the tone in the House by using her power over the Rules Committee to allow more Republican amendments.
Last month's floor fight over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act -- a controversial arena relating to the government's wiretapping activities -- is a case in point. The Rules panel disallowed all 27 Republican amendments. The minority retaliated with a procedural motion that successfully forced the bill to be withdrawn, and it still hasn't come back up for debate.
Ms. Pelosi's combative nature doesn't make such a shift easy. When the president recently accused Democrats of being led from the left by the anti-war group Code Pink, she saw it as a slight on her and responded in kind, saying Mr. Bush was acting less like "the president of the United States" than a "a junkyard dog on television every day because he has nothing to produce."
Going into 2008, the Californian said her party is well positioned on the issues most important to voters. Democrats think the child health-care fight is a long-term winner with bipartisan appeal. Party polls show her next priority, an energy bill that demands that cars be more fuel efficient, would appeal to independent voters. And tougher safety standards for imports from China is a third bipartisan issue that Democrats hope will improve Congress's image and is a reminder of Ms. Pelosi's early human-rights record on China.
"Nothing is a setback, we're going forward," she said, sitting in her Capitol office.
Ms. Pelosi's tough style borrows from her hero: the late Speaker Thomas "Tip" O'Neill of Massachusetts. Another Boston politician, and an O'Neill ally, Joseph Moakley, may be more relevant in Ms. Pelosi's predicament.
Mr. Moakley, a former chairman and long-time fixture in the House Rules Committee, lived by the maxim that he was in power to "say yes, not no."
"I always thought real power was the ability to say yes," Mr. Moakley said months before his death in 2001. "Because when I'd say yes, I found out they'd usually say yes back to me."

My law school roommate and long time friend Henry Olsen is the vice president of the conservative think tank the American Enterprise Institute. He's written an essay for the National Review entitled "The Way of the Whigs" and it talks about the danger the GOP faces in terms of long term survival. This might seem strange given the recent polling problems the Democrats have experienced, but Henry writes that there are long term forces at work that Republicans need to heed. One is the growing Hispanic electorate which has shifted decidedly toward the Democrats over the last two election cycles....

Back in 1986, Immigration Judges denied almost 90% of all asylum requests. Now, during the past 9 months, the Judges granted 50% of asylum requests. What's more, the disparities among various Immigration Judges have narrowed somewhat. This information is contained in a new report issued by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) of the University of Syracuse. This increase in approvals tracks with another important consideration: In 1986, only a little more than half of all asylum applicants were represented by an attorney. Today, over 90% of asylum applicants have attorneys. Attorney-represented asylum seekers have their cases granted 54% of...

One of my long-time paralegals at Siskind Susser, PC is Esther Schacther Fridman. Esther, who grew up here in Memphis, is the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors. In 2005, she married Benny Fridman, an Israeli who was on a work visa in Memphis at the time. The two moved to Israel shortly thereafter and Esther continues working with the firm on writing projects. Esther and Benny are the subject of a new documentary which premiered in Memphis last night. The union of Esther and Benny is unusual - their eight grandparents were all Holocaust survivors. I am friends with two of...

Hello,
Does anyone know if a H1B can be transferred from a University to a company? Has anyone gone through this process?
The present h1 position comes under university (non-profit) category. You cannot transfer your H1 to a company which falls under profitable category. You need to apply for a new H1 which falls under cap.

It's not unusual for immigrant sports figures in the US to have big followings in their home countries. When Omri Casspi don's a Sacramento Kings NBA jersey this coming season, it will be extra special for millions of his fellow Israelis who are looking forward to seeing the first one of their countrymen to play in the NBA. Casspi was a star player in Israel and is a first round draft choice this year.

Joining team U.S.A. may be getting harder. The government last week said it will revise the citizenship test to focus less on memory and more on understanding. "Rather than asking how many branches of government there are, we would ask why we have three branches of government," says Emilio Gonzalez, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
What do we call the first 10 amendments to the Constitution?
I failed the test by one question. Damn! I almost got the minimum wage correct(off 10 cents).

Hi All:
Usually I check status of my case online using USCIS website. I got the following error what does this mean?. I got the same mssage few months back and after day or two it was alright.
Validation Error(s)
You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:
Login failed. Your User ID and/or Password are invalid.
Multiple duplicate SRs already exist for the customer
It sounds like they have multiple SR's on my case.
1) What does this mean?.
2) or Did any one got same kind of error?.
