We are a few hours away from the biggest Awards ceremony in Hollywood and the world. So what part do Immigrants play in the biggest show on earth? Talent is the one universal passport, and Hollywood has always had a place for immigrants � from German maestro Fritz Lang, who headed west when Hitler's minister of propaganda pressured him to take over Germany's top studio, to Polish Roman Polanski, who directed Los Angeles' definitive film noir, "Chinatown," and Taiwan-born Ang Lee, who became the first nonwhite to win an Academy Award for directing for "Brokeback Mountain," his reinvention of the western.
As Hollywood tries to stave off commercial stasis, the industry has been undergoing another chapter in its love affair with foreign writers and directors, particularly those from the Far East and Latin America. The international box office now accounts for more than 60% of a film's box office gross.
Of course, in this age of globalization, it's unclear what it even means to be a Hollywood immigrant anymore. "It doesn't matter where you live," says Paramount Classics chief John Lesher. "We all talk on the phone. We see each other at film festivals. You can edit a movie in Brazil, and your editor can be in London, and you can put it together seamlessly in perfect time."
So for Oscars 2010 we will not able to determine again who is an immigrant and who is not, an honestly who cares. What we want to know is who will win tonight.
For as lacking in suspense as the acting races are, the contest for the biggest prize couldn't be any closer. It's David vs. Goliath here, with 'Hurt Locker' and 'Avatar' seemingly trading "favorite" status every other day.
Unless they somehow split the votes and the Weinstein-backed 'Basterds' revises more history with an upset, the Oscar will go to either the highest-grossing Best Picture winner ever, or the lowest (in half a century, anyway). Be warned: This one is flip-a-coin close. Enjoy the Oscars tonight!!!!

Questions: :confused:
1: I am primary applicant and we have our EADs approved. I have been offered a grant assistantship to complete my PhD research early next year - spring 2008 (in the same field as job) and employer is OK with me going part time for a semester as it benefits them. Is it fine to do that or do I have to remain "full time" with employer while GC is pending?
2: If I use EAD for school (assistantship), will H1B be invalidated? My H1B has 4 more years. If AOS is denied by chance, what are my options?
3. What if the GC is approved in that 6 month while I am part time with company (as I am current now with EB2 ROW) do I have to switch to full time or "intentions" of being full time in future are sufficient?
4. Will the company (my current employer) have to provide a letter saying that I work 'full time' if there is an EVL while I am part time or they can give me an offer to work full time in the future?

as far as what i heard from lawyer
the case to be done by AILA will probably pick up a few cases in particular. But the whole lot who probably applied and will apply in July and get rejected stand to benefit. So my lawyer also advised me to file
bigger question was ; are these applications actually getting rejected?
it will be good to get some directions from IV core as to what are the pros and cons of this..

Hi,
My employer has initiated my H1 B visa for our client which is a telecom giant. I was denied H1B with the reason that I am a Mechanical Engineer. The document says that as a mechanical engineer I need 6yrs exp. I already have more than 4yrs exp in IT. The thing which wonders me is that, 2 of my engineering classmates got their H1 approved. Is there any clause which says about this. Please help me.
Thanks,

I’m confused about using the EAD. Someone please clarify me….
I already received the EAD for me and my wife. Currently, I’m in the H1b which is expiring on Sep 2008 (6 years are over). My questions are?
•Can I be in H1b and still work another job as a part-time?
------ if the part time job is using a part time H1 only then you will be H1 and dependents in H4 using EAD meaning you lose H1/4
•If my wife wants to work using her EAD does it have any effect on her h4 status?
--- her status becomes AOS pending and H4 is gone
•If my wife loose her job during the use of her EAD what will be her status?
--- she will reamain AOS pending same as while using EAD
•I applied my I485 in July 2, 2007. As I already received my EAD, can I be unemployed after 180 days and start a business by myself?
---- you can be self-employed and have similar job description and LC
•I know after receiving the AP I visit any their country. What will be my status after I come back? Still H1b or anything else?
----- if you enter using H1 then it will be H1. the debate is still on whether using AP to enter causes you to lose H1 or not. It is possible to extend H1 status though.
It will be very much appreciated if some can answer my questions?
Thanks ahead\

Hi currently I am on H1B which is set to expire at end of November and will not be renewed. I have another position coming up but the visa application may not b e done till late December or January. I would need to transfer to H4 on my spouses status till then.
Can some one guide me in this process. What steps must be taken to transfer from H1B to H4? Is there any webpage which explains this step?
Is is better to file for H4 from USA itself or to go to India and do it?
Once I file for H4, does it have any impact on my filing for H1 from the new employer later in December or January?
Please assist me.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
My wife is planning to attend for a H4 Visa Re stamping. I have couple of questions regarding the visa application process. Appreciate if you can help me with my questions
1) In DS156 should my answer to the Question� �Has Anyone Ever Files an Immigrant Petition on your behalf� be NO. FYI, my 140 is approved and waiting on 485 priority date. I don�t think I gave my wife�s name yet in my labor or 140 approval process
2) There is a section to be filled in VFS website called� Petition Details from 797/. I assume that principal applicant would be me. However I am not sure what to fill in the following questions
Petition Receipt #
Petition Expiration date
Petitioner Name: I assume it is my company name
Is the above info to be filled in from My 797 ( case type I129)or my wife�s 797( case type I539) Receipt #?
Please advice

Job visas only for highly skilled, salaried foreigners: govt (http://in.news.yahoo.com/20/20101020/1416/tnl-job-visas-only-for-highly-skilled-sa.html)
Wed, Oct 20 03:12 PM
New Delhi, Oct 20 (PTI) In an attempt to prevent foreigners from getting non-technical jobs, the government has made it clear that citizens of other countries will be taken only for highly-skilled assignments in India and should draw an annual salary of over USD 25,000. In an order, the Home Ministry nullified a Labour Ministry circular which allows one per cent foreigners among the total work force in any project with a minimum of five and maximum of 20 people. "An employment visa is granted to a foreigner if the applicant is a highly skilled and/or qualified professional, who is being engaged or appointed by a company/organisation/ industry/undertaking in India on contract or employment basis," according to the Home Ministry guidelines. Besides, the ministry made it clear that employment visa shall not be granted for jobs for which qualified Indian are available and also for routine, ordinary or secretarial/ clerical jobs. "The foreign national being sponsored for an employment visa in any sector should draw a salary in excess of USD 25,000 per annum," it says. However, this condition of annual floor limit on income will not apply to ethnic cooks, language teachers (other than English), staff working for the Embassy/High Commission concerned in India. The Labour Ministry had ordered that visa applications could be cleared by the Indian missions abroad at their level if the foreign national is skilled and qualified professional, technical experts, senior executives or in managerial positions and those kinds of skills which are not available in India.

d. Dependent of U.S. citizen/resident alien (Enter name and SSN of US Citizen/Resident alien)
e. Spouse of U.S. citizen/resident alien (Enter name and SSN of US Citizen/Resident alien)
f. Nonresident alien student, professor.
g Dependent/spouse of a nonresident alien holding a visa.

I applied by mail to the DC embassy. I sent photocopies of everything and no problem.
The only thing to note though is that the DC embassy took a whole month to process my visa. I was going to Canada in September, applied in early july and received it somewhere in August. In the meanwhile when enquired about the status through email, they said they will delay it more now because I enquired. :) (and we think Indian govt. offices have bad attitude)
So I'd advise you to accomodate for the long time to get the Visa, if applying by mail.

Hi,
I was on regular H1B for three years until mid 2008 when I changed to H4 status. Now, if I want to work for a non-profit organization, does the org have to just transfer the original H1B or file a new non-profit petition. If it is the latter (new petition) what happens to my original H1 approval? If I want to go back to the for-profit world do I need to apply for a new H1 or will my original H1 validity continue??
Thanks
AFP
You can apply for change of status (COS) from H4 to H1 at any time of the year, if your employer is cap exempt (non-profit) and you have not completed 6 years of maximum stay on H1B/L1. You will not be counted again in cap, so you can return to for-profit employer at any time provided you have not completed 6 years of maximum stay in H1/L1. In order to stay on H1 beyond 6 years, you need to have a labor pending for more than 365 days or 140 approved.
Hope this helps and please fill your profile
