What is your Bachelors degree in? I know of folks who majored in Psychology but got an MS in Computer Science. I also "heard" of folks with a high school degree or History major who are sought after software engineers. It's a free country, the answer depends on your particular situation, skills and experience.
In particular: (1) what is your educational background, please be precise, and (2) what is your current work experience? again, "non-engineering" is very vague. please be precise.
Hi All,
I have come to this forum to ask for some advise because this is one of the forums where lot of the visitors are engineers, and most of them work in computers related fields.
I have a stable job( non-engineering) and I am making a decent salary(more than 200K/year) right now but I just hate my job.I desperatly want to change my field.
I am hoping to get my green card next year( PD 06/2004 NSC EB 2 India).I need your advise on how to get into computer/software/IT field.
I do not have an engineering background but am willing to go back to school. I would like to start working on this transition while I wait for my GC.
My questions are -
1- Is there a shortcut of getting into any computer/software or related field ?training,short courses, anything!
2- If I have to go back to school what major will I need to take? Any specific requirements?
3-I have a bachelors but not in engineering- can I go straight for a MS in a computer related field or will I have to do a bachelors in Computers first.
4-How's the current job market and and also if you have any idea/view about future job scenario?
5-Have any of you made/seen such a transition at my stage?- I am 35, married with working spouse.
6-Also if somebody can give an idea about salaries in computer related fields?
Have a good day guys and thank you in advance for your views.

I wud just like to add that shud you travel and use your current visa your new I-94 will be stamped with date June 07. Then you have to extend you H-4 and your old approval will not be valid.
These are just my thoughts. And I am not a layer.
Have a great trip
Thank you very much .

Hi friends ,
Im planing to travell on AP in december .I have my H1 approved till 2010.
I heard travelling with Emirates Air line may be a problem because they dont know about AP .Is that true ?
2-what documents i need to have with me when comming back on AP ?
Thanks for any inputs .
Not true, every airline worth its salt knows about these immigration procedures and documentation required. Travelled via emirates twice on AP no issues. It is advisable to carry copies of all of your documents with you when you enter the US so that you can provide the same to the IO at the POE. Ofcourse you need to take the 2 orignals of the Advance Parole and present them. If it makes your case here are what i used to carry always
- Letter of employment
- ead copy
- 485 receipt letter
- bank statement 1-2 cycles
- i-140 copy
- l/c copy
- passports :)
good luck
kris

Hi
I have given up hopes of getting an H-1B through the Master's quota. I applied on April 4. So there are no hopes anyway.
Now how can one get an H-1B through a non-profit organization. My understanding of this process is not very clear. I was under the impression (wrong impression!!) that if I can get a job at a Non-Profit place through a consulting company(I am an employee of the consulting company and not the Non-Profit org) and because my workplace is at a non-profit organization, I can get an H-1B that qualifies as one that belongs to the Non-Profit H-1B category.
Please clarify. I am trying to understand this clearly.
Thanks very much

This is absolutely illegal. Never never do this.
I concur with you, Marphad.
Its illegal to mail passport cross border.

Significance of Priority date???
PD is important to get your dates current faster. Earlier PD will get a better shot at being current early.
After your PD becomes current your 485s are assigned visa numbers (if your FP, namechecks and processing are done) GCs are allocated based on 3 important factors : Dates must be current, date the I485 was received (FIFO as per their SOP but factors like namechecks make it unfeasible) and country of chargeability. It is thus tough to review approval trends on tracker threads and sites because of small and incomplete data set and no info on factors that influence faster or slower I485 approvals.
Coming back to the country quota, I do not know how country quotas are allocated throughout the year. How overflow happens each month/quarter and how future demand is predicted each month for the entire year when providing visas to oversubscribed countries from the quota of under subscribed countries. This will be a good topic to research.

Well, I meant in the light of these new details coming out about visa numbers actually being available as claimed by "knowledgeable sources", and also in the light of the *kind of* questions being asked by Zoe Lofgren.
Just read the Ombudsman's report today - though I'd heard about these facts floating aroiund...
Not claiming to make some new discovery here... merely stating that it kinda makes sense now.
Sorry to start a new thread about this.... listened to Rajiv Khanna's recorded conf call and apparently he's not very hopeful anything will come out of AILF's class action...
jazz
When you were Jazzing, everybody already spent time to know this...a month ago.. Anyway welcome to the party... "Der se aye Durast Aye... welcome :) :)

I use remit2India.com directly and they have best exchange rates/offers, looks like hdfc money transfer also use them as gateway and give lesser exchange than going thro them directly. Not great customer service but best rates so far and really not so bad marketing offers sometimes.
so my ordering for best is (per my exp):
1. remit2india.com
2.hdfc quick remit online
3.icici online
4.western union
:D

66% of the people who voted know someone who lost job in this Marker, I was in US when dot-com burst happened, But even then I don't think it was as bad as this time around.
Worst part is every one I talk to says that worst is still to come. If it is so bad now , I don't know what it will be like when it is "worst". Scary situation. Even if you forget about GC, Getting a job and holding on to the job will be difficult.

I think that is standard message, my I-140 RD is sep 20th 2006 and got RFE on ability to pay last month and my employer responded on 10/04 and the online status changed to RFE response received and case processing resumed. its been more than a week no update.
Strange...my 140 was filed on Nov 2006....and then got a REF on August 29th 2007, my pawyer responsed last week...and I thought that as soon as USCIS gets the evidence they will hopefully approve my case....(the evidence was a minor (atleast I thought it was minor) issue about birth date...
and now USCIS has revieved the evidence they asked for...guess what they say...
On October 10, 2007, we received your response to our request for evidence. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you.

I am happy to inform all of you in NORCAL that the permit to conduct a signature/letter campaign at Fremont BART is with us!!!
NOTE: This cannot be used by another member at another station-- this is a non-transferrable permit SOLELY for the campaign at Fremont at the said times, but you can request a similar permit for any BART station!
Now, I need at least ONE other member to be there on a weekday evening of your choice (I am planning to go there EVERY weekday evening for 2 weeks) and help me conduct this campaign!
PLEASE.... this is the last call.. don't let us down!

hi,
I came to US 5 years back in H4. My husband processed GC and 140 is cleared and 485 pending. I got my EAD and now working. My husband and I have problems and he is threatening to ruin my life.
Can I know a few things
1. Can he take me out of the GC ?
2. Can he revoke my EAD ?
3. Can my employee extend my EAD which is expiring in 2010 and continue my GC.
please help...
If you are on a H4, you can be taken out of the pending 485 if you go through a divorce.
1. Possibly can with a divorce.
2. #1, can be considered automatically revoked if divorced.
3. No
