NumbersUSA obtained a summary of the "compromise" negotiated among Republicans Tuesday night. The language is theirs, not ours. We do not know how discussions between Republicans and Democrats have changed the plan, or if it is still a factor in the debate.
Hagel/Martinez Amendment
Background:
The Hagel/Martinez Substitute contains all the provisions of the Specter Amendment - including the border security, interior security and employer enforcement provisions from the Frist bill - but makes the following 3 changes:
1. It proposes an alternative to Title VI, Subtitle A of the Specter substitute (which deals with the illegal population living in the U.S.)
2. It temporarily increases the number of employment based green cards from 290,000 (as in the Specter Substitute) to 450,000. This increase from 290,000 to 450,000 would sunset after ten years.
3. It would give mid-term illegal immigrants (defined below) priority in applying for green cards over future immigrants entering as temporary workers.
The Hagel/Martinez Amendment is based on legislation (S.1919) introduced by Senator Hagel in October 2005.

I plan to use AC21 and apply G28. Any reasonable lawyer recommendation in and around bay area would be of immense help to me.
I tried Payal Singh and she is charging $1200 for AC21 and G28.
I checked with Arjun Verma and the cost is $400 for the same.
Still checking around...

The H-2B visa program is vital to America�s small businesses and thus to America�s economic recovery. The H-2B program is capped at 66,000 visas per year. This is the same arbitrary number set by Congress in 1990. The visa allotment is split equally between the winter and summer seasons. Small business owners rely on the H-2B program because it is the only way they can legally hire workers for temporary and seasonal positions when they cannot find Americans to hire.
Small and seasonal businesses hire American workers and they do hire every qualified
American who applies for a seasonal or temporary short-term position. Nevertheless, even in this economy, positions remain unfilled, leaving these businesses desperately in need of workers. This is not surprising since these jobs typically involve low-skilled and semi-skilled labor, involve work at remote locations, and are only short-term in duration.
Unlike the hiring of American workers, small business owners must go through a tough application process to hire foreign workers through the H-2B program. Employers must prove to the U.S. Department of Labor that there are no available U.S. workers to fill vacant short-term positions. H-2B workers go home at the end of the season. They cannot, and do not, stay in the U.S. permanently through this program.
Without access to more temporary H-2B workers, many small businesses will be extremely short-staffed this year and could be forced to close. For small businesses, relief must come now so that America�s employers can get the seasonal temporary workers they need to help in America�s economic recovery.
RELIEF NEEDED:
� An H-2B visa returning worker extension will go a long way in helping small and
seasonal businesses survive in the short term. The extension would provide
emergency relief by exempting from the cap H-2B returning workers who already
have successfully participated in the program in one of the previous 3 years.
� Without Congressional relief soon, many U.S. businesses will be forced to limit their
services or close their doors permanently rather than be a part of the economic
recovery.
CURRENT LEGISLATION:
� H-2B relief has been introduced in the House by Rep. Stupak (D-MI), and in the
Senate by Sen. Mikulski (D-MD), as the Save Our Small and Seasonal Businesses
Act of 2009 (H.R. 1136/S. 388).

Q : Will this affect my ability to travel?
Possibly, if you leave the country prior to the completion of the receipting process and do not have the appropriate travel documents, you may have difficulty returning to the United States.
Ok so no travel unless you have AP...right?
We decided to wait until we received our I-485 notices (got them) or the AP (not yet).

Is there a way I can apply for a green card during residency for a future job two years down the road?
Same question came up for my wife in 2004 when she did not yet have a licence to practice dentistry and she wanted to apply as a dentist and our attorney told as that during LC when advertisments are placed at that time you should have the degree and the licence ready so as to apply for that particular job.My wife got her licence in 2005.Hope this answers your question.

Hi All,
My previous I-140 was denied due to the ability to pay issue since company was in loss and Idid not get prevailing wage since PD.I have appealed it hoping I can extend my h1 beyond 6th year.Is it true?
Also, Now we have pre approved labor with lower in same company where I can satisfy by showing W-2 to prove the ability to pay. Now If I am planning to apply another I-140 with labor sub,
would it matter to the new I-140 appllication if the previous I-140 was denied and is being currently appealed? Because in the I-140 form there is a question ,
"Has any Immigrant visa petition been filed by or on this person?"
Should I say "YES", Right? and also give the detail of previous filing????
Also How does USCIS verify the W2?BY contacting the IRS or ?
Please suggest?
Thanks

I am a resident working on H1b. Got married and wife joined me in July 2010.
1. First question in the ITIN form w-7 is: Reason you are submitting Form W-7. (there are couple of options)
Is the option in my case: "Spouse of U.S. citizen/resident alien"? (and it asks for the resident's i.e. my name and SSN.)
2. Item 6d. "Identification documents submitted" ?
Options are for passport, Divers License, USCIS documentation.
My wife has all the three. Her H4 visa is stamped and valid. What all should I submit?
Thx

Would it not be enuf for me to transfer my H1 to a new company ?
Yes , I think it is enough to get H1 transfer. I assume you are going to join the new company after the H1 transfer.
What is the PD of your current approved labor ?

Dec. 06 expired a lettler that USCIS send to my employer but we never received the lettler, it was a wrong information for the address my boss was talking with an officer of USCIS and she reported electronically to Nebraska about this problem, we send just in case last Friday again all the documents with the I-140 we don't know what evidence they need, but the thing is that we have to wait ; we don't have a lawyer everything was fine the only problem was that we never received a letter about the I-140 because the address omit the suite number do you think that no matter what we have to find a lawyer ...or just wait... the adjusment was submit in May 2006.

Did anyone (or spouse) applied for Social Security No. who were using ITIN before, for tax purposes. I have applied for 485 and EAD and plan to apply for my wife's Social Security once I get the EAD. Are there any tax filing implications? How to switch to this new number and still be able to e-file next year (assuming I get EAD this year)?
You are worrying about something too early.
Anyways, next year, you need to write your wife's SSN instead of ITIN in the field on 1040 form where it says "SSN". Usually, in absence of SSN we mention ITIN. but after you get SSN, use SSN.
As far as tax implications, there wont be any tax implication if she gets SSN but does not work. If she does not work then it doesnt really matter whether she has SSN or ITIN, you will be able to file as "Married filing jointly" status (where the tax is the least).
If she does work, you will still be able to file as "Married filing jointly" status but ofcourse, her income would be taxable and you will have to include her income from her W2s also.
Anyways, you have a lot to worry about things before April 2008.
