I am currently on H1B visa. My understanding is that as long as my H1B is thru my employer it is perfectly legal to start/buy/partner in a company .... as long as I do not withdraw a pay check from that company. Furthermore, as long as I am maintaining my legal status thru my American employer, it would be legitimate to sponsor an H1 for my wife, hire her in the company I own. If some one could clarify ..... is my understanding flawed ? Please provide examples/experiences. Any relevant input would be great.
Another related question was if I change my status after starting my company to F1 .... would that be fine ? Or after I change my status to F-1, would it be fine to start my own firm/company/partnership/practice (PA/LLC/PLLC) and then transfer my wife's H-1 B in this newly created entity. FYI .... This new entity would be perfectly legitimate PA/LLC/PLLC with solid revenues/earnings/5-10 american employees .... and my wife would be fully qualified to work in this entity as a highly compensated employee providing US govt with a lot of taxes .... all done by my savings AND/OR bank loans.
On another note, if I change my status to H4(dependent on my wife's H1) instead of F1, would the same hold good. My wife's full time H1 B would be thru an american employer. My PA/LLC/PLLC just sponser her part time H1 (2nd H1) .... you guessed it .... to start her permanent residency process. FYI .... Both of us are waiting for priority dates to get current to file I-485 .... both of us have I-140 approved from our respective employers as of now. This is an attempt to get out of their yoke and gain freedom as much as possible in these trying circumstances.
Gurus, your expert opinion would be invaluable. Please comment.
As per my understanding you cannot own a company while on H1.

Hi, Did somebody take advantage of the new rule of H1-H4 decoupling where one can use the time spent in H4 in H1? or can somebody confirm that this rule is in place and a law ? Please let me know.

You have consistently abused me and other members on this thread who tried to talk sense and call us really nasty names. i will not stoop to your standards of language.
You have proven by your lack of knowledge and filthy language that you do not have the common sense to have a meaningful conversation.
Hope you get the therapy you need really soon...otherwise I feel worried for the people around you who are exposed to your violent and abusive behavior.
Glad you finally realized it.
No one has doubted your effors till now
Yes, and pappu actually works actively for IV provisions and guides us, instead of complaining and making senseless NOISE like you are.
Yes and i am making a point that he is in a minority
I thought you did not believe in name-calling. Looks like you change your opinions and stance as per your convenience and frustrations.
Who started it.from now onwards you will get what you give
This is an empty claim created by you alone due to your paranoia. Its all inside your head. Again.. empty vessels make lot of noise
Now that statement that empty vessels make more noise is itself indicative of your ego and how bloated it is and how superior you feel w.r.t others
Very mature, my friend. Hope you get the good sense to stop abusing folks here and actually doing some good for the overall EB cause. Stop spreading these conspiracy theories and fears..we all have enough on our hands already. You DO NOT represent EB3 here. You are just a frustrated and embarassed person trying to hide behind your username and venting out against some hypothetical problem you have created in your head.
When will you get it into your head that no one (least of all me) is abusing folks here. I would assume that that a sane person would recognize the fact that a section of EB folks are falling through the cracks and i would certainly not expect you to even recognize this fact because you are EB2. So if a person tries to discuss about something related to EB he is frustrated and embarrassed but when IV talk to USCIS about EB backlog you are Advocating and Lobbying. Now that is the best example of Hippocratcy i ever saw. (How on the earth did you come up with that reasoning)
Please get some help. And spare us another 1000 word essay. I think we have heard enough. Find another place to get some therapy.
The person who has no more valid argument and keeps denigrating the other person who is trying to present the point of view needs some help. Just because you say so does not mean anything. You do not have any argument so you have to fall back on something ridiculous. I empathize with you and feel sorry for you.
And how many times do i have to say this a 1000 words essay is respecting your point of view you bigoted idiot. That means how ever mean and bigoted your comments are how much ever i disagree with you I am replying to your arguments point to point. Now god knows you are are a stupid bigoted person but if i am making an effort to reply to you point by point the least you can do is be civil but i am asking too much

Contribute for what. I would , If I am told for what we are contributing. What are the real faces.
I am not one of those who can go advocate at places as I do not have luxury of it. I respect people who are going beyond their daily schedule and advocating, but what are the goals.
I however want to contribute not *donate* if I know what am I going after.
For any advise the standard answer we get is - Consult your immigration lawyer.
I dont want to dampen the interests of others who are ready to contribute. Tell me few reasons and I can contribute a decent amount.
May be we should make this paid. and then I will find my reason and I will pay to join
For your PD and EB category, you are able to enjoy 4 years of AOS benefits just because of IV. You will soon get your GC, only because of IVs continuous fight with CIS.. But hey you won't see it because it all happens behind the scene and someone else is picking your tab...

I will answer some of your questions to the best of my knowledge.
There is also a lot of information on advocacy on the top of this page, 'Advocacy' tab.
Red threads are action items started and approved by admin/core. donor threads say "donor forum" on the title.
Admins are still in the process of organizing, and a lot of this can be done only once we finalize most of the volunteers and donations collected - it will depend on this.
Contributions are optional and no money is expected from volunteers, except what you spend for your own stay and travel. Of course every one knows There ain't no such thing as a free lunch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_ain%27t_no_such_thing_as_a_free_lunch). people still do wish though!
The only free lunch is meeting your local lawmakers as they are obliged to listen to your issues. That is the only thing we have asked most people to do in large numbers
Business dress code should be good enough. We are trying to convey we are high skilled immigrants and future entrepreneurs who create jobs.
You're right most lawmakers don't even know we have a problem and the reason is we as a community are not reaching out to them. Representatives of house change every 2 years.
Thanks for your efforts. Employer support is very important in conveying our issues. Large companies have their own political lobbying group. Support of citizens and Green card holders helps a lot.
We still need a lot of volunteers all over the country, who are ready to work and not just post brilliant ideas on online forums.
Everyone has to work and spread information. Its no good saying why doesn't core do this or that and everything else.
Dear All,
First of all I am pleased to inform you that I will certainly attend the advocacy campaign. This will be my first participation. I am eager and hope to make it. I have also started making travel / stay arrangements.

Contributions till date: $500.00
I just fell off the chair.
The first response to my $200 campaign. Shows how popular I will be in my run for public office. Makes me feel slightly better and hopeful.
After making a contribution, we should focus on contributions from other members. I don't know how any other discussion will take us to our goal.
It is easy to work on non-paying members and persons who visit the site.
It is very clear that IV's email is not reaching all members. Any progress?

My labor process started in June 2003 and filed on Dec. 2003; Yew York EB2 -INDIA. It was cleared from BEC 2006 October. Like me many from NY/NJ/CA stuck in BEC, so we are able to apply I-485 in june 2007. I think EB2 2001-2004 April from NOv. VB is right. These people will take 2008 quota. So people after 2004 period need to wait for 2009 quota.
When Jun-July 2004 PD will be current? Any guess?

There are a lot of 2003 and 2004 filers still waiting. EB3 should be much more than EB2 because during this period, there was no visa retrogression and most people did not care about the category. Even some of those EB3's converted to EB2's, it did not really reduce the visa # demand or made the EB3 line shorter thanks to the infamous Labor Substitution. Needless to say the existing name check backlogs as well as the filing rush right before PERM. My guess is it will take at least a year for EB3 to move beyond 2004.

Can we just walk in to the FP center even if it is not our date? has any one done this? My Wife got a FP notice and I spoke with the rep today. I had a open SR which got a response" We are actively adjucating your case but we need additional time to review..blah blah.."
Maybe the FP is what is holding up the file and I was wondering if we could just walk in and see if they will take the prints. The appointment is next Thursday.

Subject: Follow-up to Update on July Visa Availability
Further to the email earlier today about July visa availability:
Several members have asked whether they should continue in their efforts to
file adjustment of status applications for employment-based cases. Of course
, this is a matter for each attorney's best judgment, but note that:
-It is not certain what day the revised Bulletin will be issued.
-It is possible that the revised bulletin will not issue at all--efforts to
stop this unprecedented action are being pursued.
-If you "front desk" the application, i.e. decide it is futile to file, and
a remedy opens up later, having submitted the applications may improve the
chances of utlizing whatever fix might be available.
-If you do submit the adjustments, be sure to use a method whereby you can
document delivery, and keep that documentation for each client.
-AILF's Legal Action Center is seeking plaintiffs with respect to both the
adjustment applications that were or are expected to be rejected for June
and the adjustment applications that are expected to be rejected in July. Go
to InfoNet Document # 07062975: http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22798 on InfoNet for the Potential Plaintiff Questionnaire and related FAQ.
We cannot predict now what will happen, but will continue to update the
membership as developments occur.

i am totally frustrated in following all these stupid bills (along with illegals) and these dirty politics etc. I am more furious that we all are fighting only by ourselves and none of our employers are pitching in for the very reason we are all here. This said, we are wasting our time in following all these bills which has so many loop holes to get bogged down(especially for clauses pertaining to legal immigrants). Guys, this is personally for myself, i am not going to waste my time anymore on this crap. I am going to set myself, some fixed time that i will wait for the GC to come through. If not, i am going to pack up my bags. I am just speaking for myself, atleast that way i know that i am not waiting for some useless bills to pass through. Atleast i know my wait will end by that time. I am just speaking my mind over the way things are going and totally frustrated due to this freakin retrogression..
