Friends,
As part of the Washington State Chapter, I want to arrange a conference call for all Washington, Oregon and Idaho state members. I will send out details soon on the conf call.

The main agenda will be
1. How to increase awareness about IV and increase its member base/funding?
2. How to target the big employers in this region (e.g., Intel, Microsoft)?
3. How to meet all Congressmen and their Immigration staff?

Thanks,
Raj

First check with the school if they will allow you to attend on EAD. I'll like to know what you finally decide. I was in a similar situation 3 yrs back and decided to go part-time instead. Finished the program and my gc is still pending :(

Hope things work out well for you.

Even PA DMV also adopted more troublesome procedure of giving DL to the LEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
Even after having VALID EAD DOCUMENT, verifying ORIGINAL USCIS documents and ORIGINAL SOCIAL SECURITY CARD why DMV want to check status with USCIS again?


What do they get out of that process?? Seems like another way of harassing LEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

Why redundant procedures???... Why to waste tax payers money with these kinds of redundant policies??
Why individual states like PA, GA and SC adopting these policies??

Please share your experiences from other states if any similar sort.

Same is the case with Missouri. Earlier in one of the DMVs ( in the same city of St.louis) one official just bluntly denied to consider a valid EAD card, where as 5 miles on the otherside of city, same day, same deparment issued a paper License and sent all the copies of 'Oroginal' documents such as EAD card, SS Card to USCIS for "verification"
my personal opinion is not that they are trying to harass, but rather lack of proper directions

People who did BSc and BA...have gotten thier Gc approved recently...by getting pre-approved..LC's applying in e2-rir even though they do not qualify in EB2.people who did MS from top schools and stayed with good companies are in e2/ e3 categories are in BEC.....What an irony..

Is there any use in comming here as a student?? anymore..

Well....not everything in life is fair. There are such laws that can be exploited and ppl will do that all the time. No use whining...

OK - good point. Linus Torvalds was an H1/green card immigration to my knowledge, and he would make a good addition to the list.

Thanks for that -- it'll go into the next round of edits.

the link does not work. pls check

I am in similar situation.

I have AP valid till Oct 3rd, 2010. My new AP application is with USCIS and have not received the approval. I will be traveling to Canada on August 15th for one week. I am planning to return on current AP. My question is: if my new AP gets approved when I am in Canada, will that cause any issue in my I-485 or re-entry to US.

i was in same situation. couldn't get new AP in time. went for stamping in India.

my attorney's advise was, u can't use the new AP, if u weren't here in US when it was approved. but after u come back using old valid AP or H stamp, u can use the new AP, for travel next time.

if u read 131 instructions, it talks about abandoning app.

basically, if u have no other status like H status, if u are using EAD for work and AP for travel,
and if u leave US before approval of AP, ur 485 considered abandoned.

I have been in this situation but my work location changed more than 100miles within the same state. My attorney asked me to start another labor.

1. If you think that you will move back one the 485 is adjucated, then you dont have to worry. OTherwise, you have file a new labor. Atleast you are safe since your 140 is approved. You can port your PD.

2. If it is within few miles then it should not affect. Still you have to check with your attorney. Few miles sometimes puts you in different couty or state or even in different country. So the term "Few Miles" is relative one and it is better to check with attorney.

The statue of limitation is, i believe, 2 years.

No, its only 12 months.

You have a decent amount of money in your account(s) and the bank should be obliging you. If I were you I would take my money out of the account and deposit it in a bank close to where I live (BOA has branches all over the US so that might be a good option) and then get a letter from that bank. You can then send this letter along with the statements for the last six months from the previous bank. Don't let this stupid bank treat you like this; if they are not giving you the letter then they don't deserve your business. Go to the local branch of a bank and tell them that you want to open and account and move $12000 from the other bank; there is a good chance they will give you a letter for free.

Are you saying that the bill is going to be voted today? And moreover if it even passes will it have to pass in house as well to become a law? from the excitement yesterday I got the feeling if it passes in senate we are good.

can someone clarify this for me?

Hi Mr. Singh,

The whole reason for PERM labor certification is to determine whether there are no suitable US citizens who can do the job . If your company was able to find American citizens for the job I think you should be more worried about your job rather than filing for GC through this company.
Legally I would say that since your company has found the American citizens for the job posting then the job should go to them.

Best look for another job and apply for labor before Oct.

Best of luck.

did u call 18003755283....and given them this receipt number...
how abt interim EAD...did u ask for that?
I heard they stopped issueing those...

Hi,

I would like to get you expert's opinion, before I pull the final string. My GC had been filed in EB2 with PD on Feb 26 2007. My 140 has been approved on April 2008. My 485 was filed during 2007 fiasco. I work for one of the big 3car company in Detroit as a consultant and situation is changing fast here, compelling me to search shelter somewhere else.

Luckily I got an offer from a new employer which is enticing me two pull the trick of Ac21. But before I do so, I would like to get your kind advise on the following points.

a) My Job title is programmer Analyst with my current employer but in the offer letter of the future employer is is given as "Sr. java developer". Does this title change matters? The new employer has agreed to give me the Ac21 letter with same job duty description.

b) The salary increase in the job is almost 50%. Do you think this causes any red flag.

c) The company size of the new employer is much small than the current employer. Is this OK.

I am really depending on you people's expertise. Any help will really make me confident about this change.

Regards

thanks for the response. can you please post the result of the transfer

also any one in the forum who had experience with the ac21 transfer +ve or negative can you please advise about your experiences. it is really a stressful situation with every thing being this way.

I did AC21 from a Consulting company into a big financial company and moved using EAD. My old employer requested USCIS to revoke my 140 and as a result I got a NOID from USCIS asking details of new employment. I gave the details and my case processing resumed.

AC21 issues can be resolved. So don't worry about it.

In my opinion, looks like another placeholder bill just before CIR.

hi

Just wanted to know if some one like me who have masters or more (phD) in Engineering and have backgorund in bioprocessing or food processing as well as research and academics . What may be the best IT options.
Reason I am asking is with current PhD and Academic jobs it is lot less pay (say in around 50 K). So wanted to explore other option if some how get laid off or fired one day which may be comming soon in a year or so.

though I had not done any programmming any day, I did little bit in my bachelors and at that time I thought I can do it well. But than really never had chance to work on programming stuff, as worked more with applied engineering in bio and food area.

thanks for input.

My immigration attorney said it was OK for my wife to "volunteer" as long as the work was "volunteer", i.e. something a US citizen could "volunteer" to do.
She volunteered to work at a local library and it was a good diversion until they set a schedule for her and removed a job posting in the same library - then it became both a question of her being exploited and taking a job away from a US citizen, so she had to give it up. So, the lessen is, if it is truly volunteer work, then your spouse should be able to set his/her own schedule; if the schedule is set for him/her, then it becomes a problem.

Yeah but then that is a nice free luch for those who do not contribute. The motto will become, just sit back and relax and let the other fools do the hard work and spend their hard earned money.

I did not say that you cannot. I only said if the previous I140 was revoked due to fraud by USICS then you cannot port the PD to your new application.

Yes even if the I140 is cancelled by previous employer but was clean then you can still use the PD with your new application.
Check in the Sheela murthy chat session dated : December 18, 2006 and search for "my employer cancels I-I40?"

Looks like we can port the priority date ..., even our employers cancels I-140....
