In the March issue of BioScience (a widely read scientific journal) Gillean Andres reports on the growing momentum for new federal incentives to attract new students into careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The article is available here: Washington Watch: The Cost of Doing Business: Should the United States Create Incentives for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) Labor? (http://www.aibs.org/washington-watch/washington_watch_2006_03.html).
Legislators in both parties have been attentive to these proposals. High-profile Republicans, including Representative Frank Wolf (VA) and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, were among the first advocates for a renewed investment in innovation to protect the STEM workforce. Now they have been joined by leading House Democrats and a bipartisan group of senators.
So, the general political climate seems favorable to what Immigration Voice is trying to achieve. The question is whether IV can cash in on the opportunity.

Can someone, renew their EAD while outside of the country?
Yes - as long as your 485 is pending and you have a US address to receive the card.

On your I-485 approval, H4 status is lost and no longer valid.
Incorrect!
If the person is out of country while on H1/H4 and I-485 is approved, he/she can enter USA on valid H1/H4 visa stamp and will be offered Deferred Inspection. In most cases, they have to report within 7-14 days to local USCIS for passport stamping.
I suggest that you get more details about Deferred Inspection with your attorney.

Hi..
I came to US on H4. My H1B got approved when i was in India. But I came through H4 only.
Now i want to change H4 to H1B. If i want to apply for change of status..do i need to go back to india(ot other countries) for stamping? Or can i get H1B staying here?
Please help..
Currently you are on H4. If you apply for H4 to H1 transfer, you can get H1 and start working from October this year. If you cannot find project immediately, you wait up to 3 months or 6 month (maximum), otherwise change status back to H4 or you will be in trouble. Since economy is not good, it is tough to get projects nowadays, already current H1 holders are looking for projects and some have gone back. if you have already worked in India, then you may get project easily, If you did not work, then it is tough to get a project. When you are on H4, you can have peaceful life while your psouse is working, you can have get togethers whenever you want, you can cook special dishes for your spouse and wait at the door in the evenings.Real problem arises when you become pregnant (assuming you are woman), you need to take a long break if you are working,, especially if you are away from your spouse....so point is have fun with spouse, have get togethers with other couples, go shopping at BedBathandBeyond/walmart/target/jcpenny in discount seasons, have honeymoon trips again n again...Go to India whenever you want.These things are so memorable than struggling to get projects and maintaining status. When you cant maintain status you cannot go to India whenever you want....
Just want to let you know the real picture...when H4 wants a H1.

USCIS recently issued a Memo that amends Adjudicator�s Field Manual on General Form I-140 Issues. Many issues are covered, but one of particular interest to our PERM (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1135851.html)readers is the Labor Certification Validity for Labor Certifications with an Ending Validity Date that Falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Federal Legal Holiday.
DOL has established a 180-day validity period for approved labor certifications. See 20 CFR 656.30(b). An approved labor certification must be filed in support of a Form 1-140 petition during the labor certification's validity period. DOL has not published any guidance regarding the treatment of labor certifications that effectively have a validity period of less than 180 days due to an ending validity date that falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a federal legal holiday.
USCIS will accept the filing of 1-140 petitions where the supporting labor certification validity period ends on a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday on the next business day, i.e., the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday. This action is most consistent with existing USCIS regulations, which allow cut-off dates for the filing of petitions and applications that fall on a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday to be extended until the next business day. See 8 CFR 1.1 (h). This procedure provides petitioning employers the benefit of the full 180 day validity period for approved labor certifications established by DOL.

I guess we should ask them to remove the employer's restriction, which is the prime reason for extreme exploitation. H1b should not be restricitive. IV should also address the same. We are looking at the current problem with retrogression only, but what about future aspirants who come on H1.
H1B quota and H1B related issues are not primary concern of this organization. Greencard retrogression is. It has been that way since the inception 18 months ago.
We have taken positions to make H1B more workable and have less restrictions on it regarding H1 extensions and H1 transfers and therby opposed major portions of Durbin-Grassley.
HOwever, right now is not the time to debate and have open discussion on flaws of H1B program.
This is distraction at minimum and ammo for anti-groups in worst case scenario. Please contribute, send webfaxes, make phones and provide live updates and save this discussion on H1B flaws for slower times.

If going out of the country for a long time as a GC holder, you may need to apply for travel document (returning resident ????) with USCIS.

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
When the Senate advanced the job-creation bill last week, employers were given the signal that hiring tax incentives are on the horizon. Perhaps in a nod to the Administration's No. 1 priority of creating jobs for unemployed Americans, the USCIS has just announced a forum on the EB-5 immigrant investor program. In the last year, and as recently as December 2009 (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=facb83453d4a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=facb83453d4a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60a RCRD), the USCIS issued updated guidance on I-526 and I-829 filings (http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/eb5_17jun09.pdf) so that USCIS adjudications could make decisions with clarity and consistency, allowing investors to make job creation through the EB-5 program a reality soon as possible. These are all indications that this is the time for foreign investors to again bring private enterprise to our great nation.
The upcoming USCIS EB-5 forum is only open to attorneys representing these so-called "million dollar investors." Fong & Chun attorneys will be in attendance and ready to present concerns facing our clients as well as potential issues for those investors considering the EB-5 program.
It is true that the EB-5 investors greencard process is often called "hypertechnical," and has in the past been plagued by administrative delay and inconsistent treatment. But I believe that the view of recent USCIS' actions, the agency is acknowledging just how critical the EB-5 investors program is to our nation's economic recovery. For each EB-5 investment, 10 full-time jobs must be created, and that means 10 more working Americans. Call Fong & Chun, LLP if you would like to discuss how you can start investing in America. ---ecf

One of my relative did work in Vancouver, Canada with his GC. He got his work permit at Canadian port of entry. Anyway this was long back, so please do your research, rules might have changed since then.
