Must an H-1B alien be working at all times?
As long as the employer/employee relationship exists, an H-1B alien is still in status. An H-1B alien may work in full or part-time employment and remain in status. An H-1B alien may also be on vacation, sick/maternity/paternity leave, on strike, or otherwise inactive without affecting his or her status.

>> Must an H-1B alien be working at all times?
No, but he must be an employee. H-1 employee can avail vacation, sick days off, unpaid vacation days as are available to ALL OTHER employees. Employer needs to document such policies. There are complex issues involved here.
Like you said in post As long as the employer/employee relationship exists this is the key part. How to prove employee relation - mostly by pay stubs and employment letter. Also, I-9 Form date determines when employee really reported to start the employment.
Not a legal advice

It appears form the wording in the text that, anyone who has maintained a continuous stay for at least 5 years preceding and up to the date of enactment of this bill, gets to apply for AOS and be granted permanent residence.
so with respect to EB folks, this provides GC aspirants (with 5 year stay) an immediate relief. The total quota numbers are not modified. Everything stays as is. This appears to be a one time relief to free up the choke in the system (at least for EB).
thanks,
slowwin
I wonder how it would work for existing AOS applicants. The existing applicants have already applied under the INA c9 subsections. The text of the current bill states that the applicant needs to apply under this bill's section to adjust status, similar to 245i. Now if this means reapplying under this section, that would mean another flood of applicants. Obviously with such a deluge, you wouldnt need a quota, the CIS system itself will take years to sort out the applicants.

It is not over till its over. Anything can happen, we have a lot of things going for us. The present congress wants to show that it is not a 'do nothing' congress. Our items can be a part of any appropriations or other bills. AILA is pushing big time for H1-B1 and EB Relief, so are other vested business interests. This is the last chance they get to get an increase in H1-B1 for this year(They probably are not so much interested in EB-relief), But we can piggyback on most bills dealing with H1-B1 increase, our provisions will be in there.

Your intentions are good - but the approach you took needs to be refined further. None of what I wrote above is personally against you - I appreciate your efforts but feel that we need to approach it differently - probably equating updates with money is not a good approach given that once someone gives money , they may start having a feeling of entitlement and we may not be ready to handle it.
Thanks for the appreciation. Without a doubt, the poll I have posted is clearly focused on a single dimension i.e. whether receiving more regular updates will help people get more involved and contribute more (whatever be that amount, it would be in addition to current status). While there could be several other ideas to increase participation level, this is what I felt was important to me and was looking to gauge if others felt similalry. However, I clearly don't have a patent on ideas - if you have a different approach or idea I would assume you wouldn't hesitate to pursue that to achieve our goals.
As far as as the notion that someone who gives money feels entitled to receive information - so, what's wrong with that? After all no one gives without any expectations and based on this poll, there are at least some of us for whom being informed along the process is one of those expectations, especially since none of our goals will be achieved overnight. I do not mean generic updates of the nature you have cited, but more specific status reports of who is/has been doing what and what action, if any, is expected of the rest of us in order to support. If the organization is not prepared to handle that, I think it needs our help to be able to achieve that goal! Being ready to provide these updates will only improve our organization's efficiency and effectiveness.

I guess country quota is root of all our green card related griefs. everybody else can dream of getting a green card someday, but EB-3/EB-2 India & China should stop dreaming about Green cards...I am sure this can be prooved illegal.
Yes true. This is the only angle that is viable in theory. All that can be done is challenge that the per country quota violates the constitution. Then the judge can strike that clause off.
Besides this it needs a law change.

This is a good discussion. Hope others benefit from it !
I recently purchased 250K term-insurance policy for $11.66 per-month from NY Life. I'm 30 yrs old and qualified for their top-level health rate (eating right and exercise has financial benefits !). I guess they are the only good ones who sell policies to H1. Also, my policy has terminal illness coverage meaning that they'll pay out the amount in-case of terminal illness even if I'm not dead. I have another 100K coverage from employer (no cost). I'm not covering 10 times my current salary but I'm calculating by using equivalent Indian salary and not US. I consider myself amply covered. Also, my policy will remain active even if I decide not to wait for GC and move to India.
Now my 2 cents about Term vs. Whole Life debate. It doesn't make any sense to buy whole-life at young age. But since the cost of term maybe prohibitively high at 60+ one should convert to whole-life at some point unless one can find/buy a fixed rate policy till 80 or something (plan to die a little b4 that :D )

[QUOTE=sri1309;...Isnt it a shame that a greencard holder cannot get his wife immediately wheras H1s and others can. They have to be told very loudly... .[/QUOTE]
This favours temporary workers on H1, L1 etc. An H1/L1 spouse can move to the US easily, but not that of a GC holder. If you want to bring out this "discrimination", that would mean to discontinue H4 visas, as seeminlgly it is a discrimination against a GC holder. Is that you are looking for?

Only reason Attenborg's Gandhi was so magnificient is ...because it was an outsiders view on the life of gandhi...a less attached view of bapu's life.
If a desi had made that movie he would be overcome with his personal view of gandhi..
the movie on Gandhi is a masterpiece and slumdog is a piece of shit.
Credits to rehman for being brilliant as usual...but deifinitely this is not his best.
Slumdog made it to oscars only because a white dude directed it...if a Benegal or Mehra had directed it..it would never have made it past the shore..
My question to all the white trash out there..why are they so fasinated/amused by the poverty in asia or developing country.
Oh poor brown man..look he jumped into a pile of shit ...
Slumdog was demeaning in its potrayal of desi's ... Boyel showed the grisly side of poverty..but he failed to mention abt the lakhpatis in Dharavi?
I would have to agree with your point of view. But don't you think it time the Indian Government (with all the criminal politicians) would take a note of this and correct the image of India by at least starting some project to alleviate the problems for poor of the poorest? Don't you thing its high time that something is done about it?

True! People with PD's closer to the current PD's can anxiously wait on the next bulletin to see if their PD will become current. It doesnt make sense to discuss the same point over and over when aplicants PD is far away from being current. Does it? It doesnt help to have a prediction thread for the next 2 months on the forum's mostly discussed topics. Does it? The worst part is it is infecticous and every one does it.

Can't you write a simple sentence without offending others? Furthermore nothing makes sense in your post. What's wrong with eating curd rice and pickle? If I eat beef with my Armani suit then you will think off me differently? At least that guy makes a stand and not drink, I wonder what you do? You hit the pub with your parents? Moron.

If such a bill is implemented we all should knock the doors of judiciary department. Each is department is independent of itself.
Bad for consulting companies (no H1B; may lose job)
Bad for physicians (no H1B for medical residents; no provisions for NIW...terrible)
Bad for H1b transfers and extensions (severe restrictive provisions on H1B)
AC 21 repealed (disastrous)
Bad for pending I 140 .... left in limbo
Bad for pending LC .... left in complete limbo
Bad for retrogressed.... backlog will increase phenomenally 'cos of decreased visa numbers
This bill is a massive attack on us; we should put all our efforts to oppose and kill the bill. There is little chance that we can get amendments to reverse the potential damage that this bill can do... that is disaster for us.

Unfortunately, I can't leave the US for the following reasons
a) AOS pending
b) H1 expiring soon
c) Won't get any vacation time as just joined a new job.

I am filling out the form G-639 to obtain a copy of the I-140 approval notice. I am little confused about section 6 and 8.
In section 1, I indicated that I want the information under the FOIA. It is indicated in section 1 that I have to complete all sections except section 6 which is the "Verification of subject's Identity". So if I don't have to complete the section 6 then I also shouldn't have to do any notary in section 8, right?
It appears that section 8 is related to section 6 and I should be able to skip both. Any ideas guys. Thanks.

The earlier who mentioned about hard hitting a car on Tree/building to shake the robber and run away is absolutely misleading peoples. There is no reward for bravery or mental sharpness in US for folks who wins a fight with robber or outsmarts them.
How much the Robber can steal from you - Couple of hundred cash, 5 credit cards ( which you can immediately cancel if you are not injured) and some important contacts. Be Nice with him and give him what he wants, tell them that you understand their situation and be sympathetic and polite with them.
I once did that and the robber just took 20 bucks from my wallet, 3 Marlboro Lights cigarettes and returned me the rest of money,credit cards,my SSN card and important contact papers and my rest cigarette pack and told me "you look like a nice guy".
Don't panic seeing robber or don't make the robber panic by shouting or banging your car on the building :) Robbers are just human beings like us with pathetic economic conditions ....
He shouldn't have returned your ciggies :D
