Some paras from An Opening for Democrats (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/23/AR2007032301585.html), By David S. Broder (http://projects.washingtonpost.com/staff/email/david+s.+broder/), Sunday, March 25, 2007
Six years of Republican control in Washington have taken a toll on the country -- and the GOP is paying the price politically. Instead of the Bush administration ushering in a new era of GOP dominance, as Karl Rove hoped, it has set the stage for a Democratic resurgence.
That turnabout was implicit in the results of the 2006 midterm election, when Democrats took back narrow majorities in the House and Senate and captured the majority of governorships. And it is reinforced by a massive poll released last week by Andrew Kohut and the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.
The survey of 2,007 people, conducted in December and January, depicts a dramatic shift in Americans' attitudes, opinions and values between 1994, when Republicans took control of Congress, and now. Most of the change has occurred since George Bush took office in 2001.
The poll, which can be found at http://www.people-press.org, is a treasure trove of information about Americans' views of the parties, government, the world scene, religion, the economy, business, labor and a dozen other topics.
But a word of caution is in order. There is little here that suggests voters' opinion of Democrats is much higher than it was when they lost Congress in 1994. It seems doubtful that Democrats can help themselves a great deal just by tearing down an already discredited Republican administration with more investigations such as the current attack on the Justice Department and White House over the firings of eight U.S. attorneys.
At some point, Democrats have to give people something to vote for. People already know what they're against -- the Republicans.

If the H1-B came with I-94 attached to the I797 form, then your status would be H1-B from the day written on the I-94 form. From that day, you cannot work with the employer A without filing another H1-B with employer A.

I had been in H-1B status and was laid off. My H-1B was withdrawn by my company on 12/31/2010. I applied for COS to B2 and received the USCIS receipt notice on Dec 17th, a few days before my H-1B was withdrawn.
Later on Feb 2nd, 2011, I received the approval notice from USCIS for B2 valid from 02/02/2011 to 04/29/2011(I had informed in my application that this would be my date of departure.) My question is: What status would I be from the date my H-1B was withdrawn till the B2 validity start date?
Forum members, please clarify.
Thanks

If we lose our job after having the I-485 pending for more than 8 months, I-140 approved, how much time do we have to find another job?
Do we have to immediately withdraw the petition after losing/quiting a job?
Thanks!

Alex,
She can't work and you can't apply for work permit. You need to wait for the I-130 approval. Then AFTER you become a U.S. Citizen, she will be able to apply for I-485 Adjustment of Status and only at that time you will be able to apply for work permit. By the way. If the I130 is approved and she goes out of country and then tries to re-enter the U.S. on a B-2 visa, she may be denied entry based on Immigrant Intent, for which B1/B2 visa does not allow. Do some research.

Paying to beef up the border with Mexico by charging exhorbitant fees to Indian staffing companies complying with H-1B laws is probably a violation of the General Agreement on Trade in Services, an agreement that is vital to ensuring US companies are able to employ many of the 6,000,000 Americans working around the world. Senator Schumer's insinuation that staffing companies are engaging in something that wreaks of fraud is not only tantamount to slander, but it also ignors the fact that the staffing industry is a $61 billion sector of the US economy and there are now more than 14,000...

Old Tensions Test Congress; Democrats Seek A Political Center To Avoid Stalemate (http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB119664099934911173.html) By David Rogers. Wall Street Journal, Dec 3, 2007
WASHINGTON -- Congress returns today to face a pile of unfinished work, little time and many White House veto threats. With the budget process at risk of collapsing for the second time in as many years, there is a sense that lawmakers are back to where they started after the 2006 election: divided by Iraq but chasing the dream of a political center from which to govern.
The best shot for Democrats is to find that center and build coalitions with moderate Republicans to complete Congress's agenda before the holidays. But the bitter divisions with President Bush over the Iraq war make that more difficult.
"The more they take Bush to the woodshed on Iraq, the more difficult it is to bring over moderate Republicans," says Neil Newhouse, a Republican pollster.
Compounding the problem are the moods swings and often combative nature of the Democratic leadership. Republicans tend to march four abreast, even if it means heading off a political cliff as in the 1995 government shutdown; Democrats resemble a family packed into a station wagon and yelling different directions at the driver.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D., Wis.) is highly respected but can hurl insults and convey distrust even as he looks for compromise. "Against my better judgment, I am going to assume you will have good faith," he said of budget talks with Republicans. If there's not good faith? "It's not going to be pretty," Mr. Obey promises.
Democrats, as the party charged with running Congress, would pay the heaviest price for stalemate. But Republicans aren't insulated from blame, especially if they are seen as walking away from compromises important to voters.
The tensions reflect the twin legacies of the 2006 elections. Antiwar sentiment helped bring Democrats back to power while independent voters wanted an end to gridlock in Washington.
Recent votes suggest a bipartisan consensus may be emerging. The passage of an energy bill with tougher fuel standards for cars appeals to independent voters. (See related article on page B1).
In the mid-'90s, when Newt Gingrich's "Republican Revolution" collided with then-President Clinton, he never got more that 240 votes in early skirmishes over defense- and appropriations-bill vetoes. Current Speaker Nancy Pelosi has averaged 275 votes, thanks to Republican support for her efforts to expand child-care and education funding.
This month's deadlines will sorely test the new majority. A stop-gap spending bill to keep the government operating expires Dec. 14. Middle-class households counting on tax refunds don't want to go into the New Year without protections from the alternative minimum tax. And the Pentagon says it will send out furlough notices before Christmas for thousands of civilian employees unless it gets more war money.
Trying to avoid a collapse in the budget process, Democrats are trimming $10.6 billion from prior House and Senate spending bills, which will be packaged into a single omnibus package approaching $490 billion in discretionary appropriations.
Most domestic accounts will be held to 3% increases over 2007 levels. Significant new money is preserved for veterans' medical care as well as $3 billion in emergency funds for border security, both bipartisan priorities. And after falling two votes short of overriding Mr. Bush's veto, a $150.8 billion labor, education and medical- research budget would be reduced by $3.6 billion.
Other major issues include:
Health Care
The spending talks parallel efforts to win passage of a $35 billion, five-year expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program. Democrats will move to extend the program with additional funds to guard against state shortfalls at least through 2008. Republicans are seeking a line barring federal aid for any household whose gross income exceeds 300% of poverty or about $41,000 for a single parent and child. Democrats have agreed to such a cap for SCHIP but will want more concessions from moderates before extending the same requirement to much of Medicaid, the larger state-federal health-care program for the poor and disabled.
Farming
With winter wheat planted and farmers seeking operating loans for next year's crops, there is growing anxiety at the pace of the farm bill, which has stalled in the Senate. Some type of extension may be needed, but Chuck Connor, the acting Agriculture secretary, says "there is still time to get this done."
The threshold test could be whether lawmakers embrace the administration's goal of barring subsidies to any farmer with adjusted gross income above $200,000. "That would be an important signal," said Mr. Connor, suggesting that the administration would be more willing then to show some flexibility about Congress's demands.

The country's best known Hispanic GOP politician, Florida Senator Mel Martinez, announced this morning that he would not be returning to the Senate after the August recess ends. Martinez had already announced he was retiring in 2010 and it is not clear why he accelerated his departure. Martinez has been a consistently pro-immigration voice and he has criticized his party numerous times for alienating Hispanic voters. Many say that this criticism led to his being replaced as the chair of the Republican National Committee a couple of years ago. Florida Governor Charlie Crist and state legislator Marco Rubio have already...

My wife will be applying for H4 visa (1 st time) some time in march. I am currently working on H1B in US.
while checking the website for documents required for H4, they ask for the Photocopy of the Principal Applicant�s valid visa.
Since I am a canadian citizen, I do not require a visa for US and hence I don't have a H1B visa stamped on my passport.
I would appreciate if you could reply me on this regard.

Bring a chair on your back, talk to your wife,freinds, relativs, parents and child. "Whether sending a letter for good cause will harm you". Everyone will say no. Then why are you waiting.
