BusinessWeek featured an excellent story about O1 visas, often known as the Genius visas. While the spotlight is now on H1B visas or the debate on Immigration Reform, it is important to cover this important and often overlooked visa.
O1 visas are awarded to immigrants with extraordinary abilities in the arts, sciences, education, business, or athletics. The program, for what are officially called O-1 visas (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137182.html), began in 1990 as lawmakers sought to separate these applicants from the pool of those seeking H-1B visas, the visa program for skilled immigrants used by many technology companies. While H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) applicants must hold at least a bachelor's degree and possess some specialized skill, O-1 visas (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137182.html)are allotted to a more elite crowd: those who can prove to U.S. immigration officials that they are the very top in their fields.
According to the U.S. State Dept.�which makes the grants to successful applicants�9,014 O-1s were awarded in 2008, up 40% from 2004. Among current O-1 visa holders are Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, Canadian author Jennifer Gould Keil, Israeli concert pianist Inon Barnatan, and members of the New York dance companies Merce Cunningham and Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane.

I don't understand this, we are talking about these backlogs, which are effecting about 300K - 500K skilled immigrants, and we only have about 4000 members yet. We should take this as challenge and go on to drive to speak to people like us to increase the members strength, so we will have significant backing and Senate / House / President will pay attention to what we request.
Just a thought,
Please make sure you pass on information about IV to everyone you know. We can atleast grow 4 to 5 times if not more.

Company A can not by law press any charges for the filing fees of H1B petition but they might go after you to pay for other costs in case you have agreed to pay for attorney fees.

Experience should be AFTER you get your degree. Also, your experience with current employer cannot be counted unless the new opening is substantially different than your current position.

Depending on the above answer the process will be different.

Anyone here who is in the same situation?
I know my PD is in Aug 2006 and was casually checking the I-485 Receipt Notice I got during the July 2007 fiasco. Surprisingly, the "Priority Date" box on the notice is blank.
"Received Date" and "Notice Date" are correct though.

It is common. Your 485 is based on the denied I140. If the I140 is appealed then the 485 will also be tranferred to the Appeals Office. That does not mean you I485 is denied. It is
still under process and you can apply EAD and AP as well.
I am saying this with my own experience. Hope this helps

Just thaugt to have a idea about how many people have missed this opprtunity.
MY PD is EB2 June 7 2006.

Any Reason you said why only June 2006 PD has missed the opportunity?
Why not whole of 2006 from Jan to June 2006?
Just curious

I joined my present company in June 2004 on CPT, missed the summer graduation so applied for the spring graduation. Got my MS diploma in Dec 2004 (non thesis). Went on H1 in Oct 2004. Applied for GC in Feb 06 as EB2 and I got it without any issues. I know another friend of mine who joined with me in June 2004. He actually took classes later to finish his MS and finally graduated in December 2005 and he too got his Eb2 approved. The GC is for future job and not the current one so according to me it should be fine.

anybody?
Has anyone renewed their license with success in VA while the H1 extension is pending? Does a letter from the company attorney along with the H1 extension receipt help?

can you reword the title? I am not sure how that title is accurate given the background of how macaca was used: Sidharth (who was born and raised in the US, but is of of Indian origin) was called Macaca by George Allen because of the color of his skin. Getting a GC or not getting a GC does not change the color of one's skin so it does not stop people from calling you a macaca...

I am on my 9th year extension of my H1B. I have to leave to my home country at a short notice. I have H1B stamped on my passport. However it expires at the end of September. I may not be back until the first week of September.
I have already filed for my H1B extension and I am waiting for my Receipt notice.
Will there be any issue coming back into US when my visa stamped on my passport is valid for less than a month. I don't think my extension will be processed by then.
Anyone on this forum who has had similar experience in the past?
Thanks for your response in advance.
