Exactly. No one is comparing USA & CANADA.
For the ppl who say no jobs in Canada - well find a job and then move there. Or live in Canada in border town and commute to work daily to US.

But at least they are getting GC in 6 months. I dont mind getting paid low if it means getting GC in 6 months. Anyways half our money goes in getting h1 extensions and paying lawyers so might as well get it over with by getting paid low. It is so disheartening to know how people are abusing the law and getting GC the short cut way while our stuggle starts with getting admission to f1 to doing our masters to trying to get h1 and then GC.
I have a friend who has done his MS from a top school here and his wife is a dentist but cant work for last 5 years and here is a guy whose education is a BCom and his wife's too and both are working and have got the whole thing the easy way out. Very disheartening.

It takes one week to get the visa stamped. I did it and went to India in August. They will schedule FP for you in a location close to you.

I have been a long time supporter of IV and all the work that IV does, I have been on this forum for for a while now and have always believed in the cause of IV and though I am not active on the forum for some time now I have actively taken part in a lot of the efforts that IV has undertaken and have contributed monetarily as well .
Besides the fact that IV can try to help members in extreme situations like the one I am in, IV is really the only organization that watches out for our community, it is all we have. We need to be an active part of it and should make it stronger.

As others mentioned, If you apply for J1.. Your husband wont be able to apply for 485 for you for SURE unless you are done with J1 Waiver. You may also potentially jeopardize your husbands 485 application because USCIS may find out that you(spouse) are on J1 even if he does not apply 485 for you. I am not sure about this point thou, You may want to confirm with a lawyer.
As i see things the only safe BET is your husband applies for 485 for both of you only after you finish your J1 waiver. Again in this case if USCIS finds you have done J1 in the past, Your application could be potentially delayed because they may have to do additional checks to confirm J1 waiver etc. When it comes to USCIS IMHO its better to not give them reasons to delay your application if possible.
Since in your case as you have not started yet you are looking at 3 years of residency + lets say 3 year of J1 waiver
So for the next 6 years from the day you start residency you may not be eligible to apply for 485. And the way USCIS works where they suddenly open the window to apply, I dont think its a good idea.
I would say find a program which sponsors H1B strictly. We faced the same predicament 2/3 years back when my wife applied for residency. We strictly applied to H1B residency programs only and my wife got into one of them (She had very good USMLE scores(99/98) and some good recos/prev work exp).
Hope this helps.
I'm trying to secure a residency in one of the hospitals in the US and my husband is already has I140 approved for himself. Currently i'm in the US on H-4 status and want to apply for residency at one of the hospitals. The problem is, some hospitals only offer J-1 visa and i know there is some restrictions to J-1 visa, that i might have to serve in some under serve area for ? years.
I was thinking that i can sign the contract but by the time i'm done with my residency, my husband will already have his EAD or atleast GC and he wil aplly for me as well. WOuld this releive me of the responsibility to serve in an underserve area ot not? Thanks.

Post your IT recruiter number here. Many of my friends are looking for jobs. When anyone out and looking then they will feel job market like my many friends. So don't brag and hold on your job otherwise will learn hard way. :)
Hello friends,
Of late everybody is talking about bad economy. I mean its all over the TV and newspapers. Apparently we are in a recession since past one year (since Dec 2007).
However, odd it may though sound, I don't see any real economic slowdown in IT sector. I mean all my friends and acquaintances in IT industry in the US and India are retaining their jobs. I recently talked to my IT recruiter and she told me that as far as she is concerned this year has been like any other years. Bit sluggish at the year end, but loads of requirements lined up for January next year.
Am I the only one who is feeling this way, or others also sensing the same thing. Maybe the real jolts are still lying in the future, in the coming year. Or may be its just a hoax. I would love to know other people's observation on this strange anomaly between what is being reported in the media, and what is being observed on the ground.

Thank you very much for the reply. The reason for stressing so much is I already started the study and finish 3 subjects. Now again I need to start with new university.
Doing masters is not a problem.
U21 has another alternative where they give degree from University of Malbourne, which got AACSB accreditation this year only. If I will continue the education and complete masters and get a degree from University of Malbourne then U21. Will that work?
Or I need degree from US based university?

I did not feel like signing along for two reasons: we are not US citizen yet, and I consider myself citizen of the world and will always be. I do not aspire to become citizen of the United States of America.
Even when Americans sang their national anthem in a church, I felt not right. Churches are not supposed to be linked to states. There should be no country boundary within the Christian world.
There should be no country boundary within the world we want to build either.
By the way, if the United States go to war with your country of birth, who will you side with? Will the United States trust you?

I don't know much about Canada PR, but the 2nd option sounds good to me. Make sure your new employer is willing to give you a Joining Letter with the similar job responsibilities, job title, etc upon which your 485 is based.
Good Luck.
Dude - think practically. If the billing rate that the company is going to get from the client is $70/hr and they keep only $5/hr then they have to give him $65/hr. If they have to keep him on the payroll, they will have to pay 7.45% in payroll tax, which is employer's portion of Social Security Tax and Medicare (reducing their rate from $70 to $65.1575). This means they will be making 15.75 cents/ hr (translates to $315 for a year assuming that you work for 2000 hrs - the remaining 80 hrs go in holidays - for which they may or may not pay). Even if they are outsourcing payroll, do you think that it will cost them less than $315 a year to pay him? even if it costs $0 - who would be willing to keep you on their payroll to make only $315 a year? Would you? and if you take unemployment insurance and liability insurance into account, the company would make a loss. If you owned a company would you follow this business model? If you are - you might as well just give your money for free to all your employees.
The only way you can get a company to keep $5/ hr and give you the rest is if you agree to a 1099 (and you cannot do that on a H1B - you need to use EAD for that). On a 1099 - there are other tax implications - now you have to pay both your share and the employer share of payroll tax (14.9%). And now since you are an independent consultant (which is what a 1099 is), you have to get your own Liability Insurance. To prevent people from suing you, you will need to form a LLC or some other type of corporation. You might want to get a good CPA to setup your company so that you can setup the right kind of company to benefit from the right tax deductions.
There is nothing wrong in making more money - just like you want more money, the corporations are out there to make money too. No one is in the business for charity. As long as the relationship between employee and employer is symbiotic, all is good. Once the equation changes, it is either time for the employee to say good bye to the employer or for the employer to off-load the employee from the corporate bus.
I have seen many posts in this forum complaining of "blood-sucking" employers and how they exploit employees. To me, that is the same as:
- programmer's guild complaining about us stealing their jobs or
- people losing their home and blaming the banks "for not disclosing terms"
- anyone who is blaming anyone else for their troubles
If you are being exploited, it is because you are willing to be exploited. Don't blame the employer. Blame yourself. If you don't want to pack your bags and go home when you lose a job and cannot get another one, don't blame the employer and tell others that they are "sucking your blood". Everyone is here to make money.
Good Luck.
