USCIS made a very surprise announcement on August 2nd that allows aspiring entrepreneurs to start their single-person startup in the US and at the same time qualify to apply for a green card under the EB2 category or get an H1-B visa. This is for ANYONE out there that qualifies for the H1-B or EB2 [...]
I could not actually believe it. A close family friend actually got his green card - he was on EB2 firsh a 2006 priority date. It feels as if it’s the first one in years that has got one! Very happy for him….one step closer to freedom.
The EB-2 move in the July bulletin has made if [...]
EB-3 isn’t moving. At least not for India, China and Mexico. And EB-2 is ahead but prospects are bleak for much progress in 2011. The DREAM act is dead. CIR is all but dead for 2011 and even perhaps 2012 (read previous post) and the Startup Act is not finding takers yet. The latter still [...]
I really did not think this could fail. The act asks that children of illegal immigrants that were brought to the US when they were very young, should get a path to citizenship. The path will include education and serving in the military, among other conditions and will take years to actually get it but [...]
This is huge. The strongest, most sensible immigration bill that actually has a chance to pass. CIR is all but dead, the DREAM act is still up in the air despite getting passed in the House and strong support from rallies and funding from lobbyists. But a new bill - the Startup Act - was [...]
As EB-2 dates are moving along much faster for Indian and Chinese nationals, there appears to be a rush among immigrants (just like 2007, to a smaller extent) for EB-3 candidates (like me) and even others hold H1-B visas in their second three year renewal stage, to file a fresh EB-2 petition. Nothing wrong with [...]
This is a piecemeal act that includes all of the stuff that CIR would have for skilled legal immigrants. This includes provisions to reduce the visa backlog, H1-B reform and F1 student visa reform.
SKILL ACT of 2010
I’ve stopped getting too excited about just introductions of new bills. It all depends on how it’s received and [...]
As part of writing on endlesswait.com, and during my own immigration journey, I’ve become connected with some really good immigration attorneys. And recently, it occurred to me that I could set something up to benefit you guys from this connection.
Two attorneys that I can personal attest to, since I’ve followed both [...]
There are plenty of us that got into the green card waiting line in 2007 or earlier. To me, it feels like it just happened, but it’s almost 3 years!! And we’re still in line, which hasn’t moved an inch. Many of us have an EAD (employment authorization document) as a result of being in [...]

Hey fellas,
Every time I think of the green card, I experience a wide array of emotions ranging from impassioned to blood boiling, But you have to wonder what bothers you the most…
Is it -
1. Given the plethora of issues in this country competing for attention, this is probably [...]
