Because of the shortage of talent companies are moving their operations abroad. Wells Fargo just announced they're opening a technical center in India. No wonder the H1B and EB visa reform is long overdue...

I suggest we compile such stories on this thread...
Wells Fargo to open tech center in India
Bank says the opening is not a cost-cutting move, but a result of a shortage of qualified technical talent in the U.S.
By Reuters
Published: August 1, 2006, 10:46 AM PDT
U.S. bank Wells Fargo on Tuesday said it plans in the fourth quarter to open a technology facility in Hyderabad, India, citing a shortage of qualified technical talent in the United States.
The San Francisco-based company said the opening is not a cost-cutting move, and will not result in the loss of U.S. jobs. It also said it will not employ customer service personnel or manage customer data at the facility.
U.S. commercial banks with large India operations include Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase.
Wells Fargo said the facility will provide technology resources, including software development. It plans at first to hire 30 to 50 people for the facility, and might employ as many as 300 next year.
"This is simply about supply and demand," Victor Nichols, Wells Fargo's head of technology information, said in a statement. "Like most major U.S. companies, we're facing a shortage of qualified technical talent, and we're not able to continue to meet this growing demand for such talent here in the United States alone."
Nichols said U.S. computer science graduates have fallen by about one-third in the last four years, while more technology and operations specialists are coming from India.
Wells Fargo said it employs more than 153,000 people in North America. It expects to hire more U.S.-based technology specialists as talent becomes available.
"The comparatively small amount of work we're planning to do in India--the same as work done for us today by outside contractors, some in India--is not motivated by cost savings and thus will have no effect on our U.S.-based employment," Nichols said.

Hi,
We (me and my wife) have received RFEs to submit G-325A forms on 9/24/09 and our lawyer submitted the requested documents last week on 10/20/09, on the next day USCIS online status changed to "We have received RFEs documents and this case processing has resumed........" on very next day 10/22/09 online status changed to "RFEs sent......."
Now we (me and my wife) and our lawyer received same RFEs again thoguh our lawyer submitted requested documents.
Please share your thoughts on how should i go from here...should i submit documents again?? or should i take an info pass and try to find out whats gaing on with our cases?
Thanks in advance

I would go ahead and submit the documents again to be on the safe side. Not sure if taking Infopass would be of any help to you in this case. You dont want to take chances and risk getting a I-485 denial on the grounds of not responding to RFE. If I were you, I would send them the docs again.

Folks,
CNN - and Media Coverage of Immigration
Wanted to suggest..today they are showing a wide variety of perspectives on Immigration problem. I have seen in the recent past on one such programs they invite people to call and express their views.
Perhaps it is time for folks to dial the 1-800 number and speak up on the retrogession issues, backlog inefficencies, eb2, eb3 being stuck for china, india, inabitliy of spouses to work and request for lengthier h1 extensions, asking for GC for those who are here for more than 5 years etc...
The views will be aired in public and I am pretty sure all the politicians will be watching with interest, they will also hear the difference bet Legals and Illegals and also the problems faced by legal immigrants - First Hand.
Perhaps it may be a worthwhile idea to discuss what to talk !

Hi,
I have one question. My I-140 is approved in Aug. 2006 and my I-485 applied in Aug 2007 and got my EAD and AP approved in Oct 2007 and renewed once in 2008. Currently I am with the employer through which I filed my green card.
My 6 years of H1b expired on oct 2006 and I took three year extension of H1b based on my pending green card process.
Now my 9th year of H1b is expiring in Oct. 2009.
1) If I take the H1b extenstion for three years(based on my pending I-485) and let say after one year, I start using my EAD with a new employer and my previous employer revokes my H1B....Will I be able to get back on H1B if my I-485 petition get denied for any reason.
All I am trying to see if anything happens to my I-485 petition, will I be able to go back on H1B from EAD.
2) I have been reading in the forums that USCIS is giving hard time for the H1B extenstions. Any experiences on this?
3) How much is the H1B renewal fees?

4. Consult an immigration lawyer ASAP
Today, My H1B transfer got denied and waiting for denial notice. Employer is planning to appeal on denial case. (I am assuming that "Denial could be becasue of client letter was not furnished)
My Layer: Employer->Company A-> Primary Vendor -> Client
My I-94 is valid Nov-09-2009 based on previous employer petition. Previous employer notified USCIS on H1B termination.
On this, What would be best option.
1. File a new H1B case thru current employer (while is waiting for appeal result, as a back up plan)?
2. can I continue work for current employer since my I-94 is valid till 11/09/2009 and filling MTR?
3. Apply for H1B transfer thru primary vendor's sister concern?

Please refer
http://www.murthy.com/485faq.html
I have the extract from the website
Question 4. What is a travel document and do I need it?
......
......
Please note that one who is out of status is generally advised not to travel abroad until the Adjustment is approved. A person who has accrued 180 days of unlawful presence and then travels abroad would not be readmitted to the U.S. for 3 years. For a one-year accrual or more of unlawful presence, there is a 10-year bar on reentry. The advance parole document would not protect one in this situation. Since 2000, the AP contains a specific warning about the 3-year and 10-year bars. Individuals should seek attorney advice before travel if there is a possibility that they have accrued unlawful presence at any time.
*****************
I would recomend you talk with Shela Murthy or Carl Shusterman, talk to the main lawyer directly, do not talk with the junior lawyer in the firm. Ask for urgent appointment, it would cost a bit more but it is worth it. I am sure Shela Murthy will find some way for you.
Good luck

My H1b application was delivered to USCIS on July 1st. I just find FLC data center has updated new 2008-2009 prevailing wage database which is also effective on July 1st. If based on the previous 2007-2008 database, my salary is above the prevailing wage, but if based on the new one, my salary is a little below that one.
Which database whill USCIS choose to use on my case?
Sounds like the new one.

H1 with company (X) was denied on May 2008, but made appeal to it and its in the process.
during the same time
i have applied for H1 transfer to company (Y) throught consular processing. I got approval.
If i go for Visa Stamping would it be a problem. Live around Ca. planning to go for Tijuana, Mexico.
also
Company (y) says it won't generate pay stubb unless u get visa stamped. Do i really need pay stubb(s) with
company(Y) in order to go for stamping.or its okay to go with company (X) paystubs.
My paystubs are still with company (x) till month of May 2008.
how good are chances of getting visa if im going for stamping in month of July, 2008
pls advice... what should i do in the situation i'm in

The most important point to be noted here is:
The job / position should demand a person with Master degree or a Bachelor's degree with more than 5 yrs experience in order to quality for EB2.
Not just having a Master degree or Bachelor's plus 5 yrs experience is gonna help.
So there are a lot of things to be looked at else u will be denied a EB2 labor.

I just want to start a thread for folks whose primary applicant is approved but derivative is pending. My case was approved on July 8th, but my wife's case is still pending. Here is the complete list of steps that we have taken.
1) Created an SR on 07/09/2010 (No response yet)
2) InfoPass appointment on (07/16/2010); Reveals that case is pre-adjudicated.
3) Submitted form DHS-7001 (07/19/2010)
Please share your comments, thoughts and experiences on how you dealt with this situation.

I have a approved H1b from company A. Company A also shared a copy of approval. I was never counted under H1b cap before this approval. If I now decide not to join company A and assuming company A will not cancel H1b, can I use this H1b to join another company B later using H1b transfer�???? I am presently on cap except H1b and need a cap subject H1b in order to move to any private firm. So approval from company A matters a lot to me.
Has anyone done this�????
Thanks in advance...
IMO, you cannot do this as you are moving from a cap exempt H1 to a non-exempt H1. So, in this case it will be regarded as a fresh H1 application and not a transfer. If you want to join Company B, then they have to file a new H1 application which will count towards the cap. Hope this helps!

Looks like it is mistake. Is it your second FP appt? It is possible that they already have FP with them and I 140 and I 485 both approved on the same date - within an hour difference.
No, it's the first one. I really hope I-140 is approved :-)

Helllo Experts,
Here is my Case:
Have 4 yrs of work experience and changed 3 employers in the past.
1 st employer: Worked as a Programmer Analyst for 6 months
2nd employer: Worked as Sr.Software Engineer for1.6 years
3rd Employer: Worked as Sr.Software Engineer for 2 years
Under unexpected circumstances, 2nd employer filed my H1 for a senior level even when I have only 2.5 yrs of experience.
I am trying to change job and look for a prospective employer who would file my labor/GC immediately.
The 4rth employer is willing to my GC but the Job designation will be Software Engineer.
Can you please advise if there would be any negative impact on my GC process if I take a step down in my title.
I liked the organization, work environment and all I am concerned now is about any RFC's for the different Job Titles I had so far.
I am in a very confused state and Please advise me as I need to respond for the Job offer.
I sincerely appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ravi

Depends on whether your I-140 is approved or still pending.
Here what I think.
Lets assume your I-140 is approved.
Remember GC is based on future employment.
Now if AILF wins lawsuite and USCIS accept your application you will get receipt date of July 2007. Your I-485 is not going to get processed in 6 months. It is surely not going to get adjudicated in 6 months. By Jan - Feb 2008 you will be able to invoke AC21 and change your intent and still be able to get your I-485 adjudicated. This all you can do working for a company other than the one who filed your I-140 / 485.
Only risk here is that if USCIS processes your case in first 6 months and send you a RFE for a current Employment verification letter / paystubs. But again chances of this thing happening is rare and remote given the numbers of I-485 petitions they will receive in July 2007.
my 2 cents.
This is my personal opinion and Its always better to get an advise from a good immigration lawyer.
