Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
Elin Nordegren broke her silence (http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/blog/devil_ball_golf/post/Elin-Nordegren-on-Tiger-Woods-I-ve-been-throug?urn=golf-265021)today and gave her side of the story today telling the world how shocked and embarrassed she was by Tiger's infidelity. She also defended the marriage, saying that the marriage was real, not orchestrated for the cameras and sponsors.

In our practice at Fong & Chun, LLP, we have seen many marriages, like Elin and Tiger's which were entered into for love, completely genuine marriages and yet within years (sometimes a lot sooner), the marriage goes awry. For those immigrants whose conditional greencards were based on marriages to US citizens, these men and women find themselves in a situation like Elin, telling their stories to the USCIS, actually defending themselves from deportation, that even though their marriage didn't survive the test of time, it was not a marriage of convenience for immigration purposes.

If a marriage fails anytime before someone naturalizes, a person who immigrated through marriage will later be summoned by the USCIS for an intense and very uncomfortable interview in order to maintain their permanent residency - even at the time of applying for citizenship. Such interviews can even occur years after the marriage and divorce, so recounting the facts of a relationship and providing the documentation to verify the facts of the courtship, the wedding or civil ceremony, then detailing the timeline of marriage, separation and divorce is more than just burdensome, it's sometimes impossible. Attorneys at Fong & Chun have defended clients in such interviews, which can take several hours! Not to mention the legal briefing and the administrative review that can take months to years in the most complicated cases.

We have counseled couples and immigrants who face this difficult situation, sometimes their marriages have ended because they had to escape physical or emotional abuse, other times, the marriage failed because of infidelity or even financial distress. If you need help telling your side of the story to USCIS, call the attorneys at Fong & Chun, LLP for a free consultation. Maybe we can help. --ecf

Hi,

They will allow you 30 minutes before your schedule appointment time.
There is a lot of parking space before the office.FP may take around 30 minutes.

In an extraordinary exchange at an event that is usually just a photo op, First Lady Michelle Obama fielded a question from a second grader that really reminds us of the fact that the millions of people in the US working without status today are real people with real families. While the antis choose to dehumanize these folks by portraying them as criminals and parasites, this little girl reminds us that we're talking about people who are faced with terrible choices in life - living in utter poverty in an unstable homeland or living in the shadows in a wealthy...

wow, u actually digged out the real feb95 bulletin.. amazing how many 'C's it had.. those were the days

You did not have H1B extensions and AC21 though!

Can you please post the link for the original thread?

Tnx

Here is my h1b status:

1. We have applied for H1B visa extension in premium on March 23rd, 2010.(for 15 months, as I have this period remained on H1 6 years and I-140 not approved yet).
2. I have joined new client on March5th new project, new location.
3. USCIS raised RFE on March 9th, 2010 but not received the RFE document.
4. My employer sent H1B Amendment documents on March 15th, 2010 with new LCA.
5. Received RFE document on March 30th, 2010 from USCIS and replied on March 31st to USCIS.
6. USCIS approved case on April 10th, 2010 with 1 year duration, which is May 2011.
7. USCIS approved amendment on Dec 5th, 2010 which is valid until Aug 20th, 2011 which the max of 6 years period.

Now question, it means my H1B visa valid until Aug 2011?

Means your H1B petition is approved till Aug 2011. Visa is needed to reenter US once you leave.

The expenses for a normal delivery would be between 10-15000$ if everything goes fine.Medicare help is from federal so it would be better if its not taken risking the GC.Usually the hospitals gives some break depending upon family income, so even if its 50% its not bad.Else going to home country but at this stage doesnt look wise.

I was married in India as per Muslim law and currently both of us hold US citizenship. At the time of marriage we both were indian citizens. What kind of rights do my wife has on my property in India on our divorce (I bought these properties after my marriage and it is all registered under my name) ? In US, both husband and wife would share any property that we aquired after the marriage. Does the same true in India?

Thanks for your help. I pray no one should go thru these type of issues in thier life.

Even I changed my address last month. No RFE.

Now Again I want to chnage. I want to know If I just submit AR11 online, without updating the pending applications ( not expecing any communication for CIS next couple of months). Will they look in to AR11 and issue RFE(If at all).OR it is just a record no one care unless you chnage the pending applications.

Thanks

It is a "MUST" to update address on all the pending applications too. Look at the below thread for more info...

Yes. There are people who never had H1 ever from cos, and still got their GC.

Cyrus Mehta Law Firm and Associates. Little expensive but worth it.

The attorney says he's regularly used the "Yes" response in such situations, and has successfully argued that the requirements are normal in past audits. Of course, he wouldn't comment on how much this contributes in triggering an audit. My goal is to avoid targeted audit altogether. His (and the company's) goal is to see the PERM through successfully, even in the face of an audit. Obviously, a slight difference in goals.

The requirements in fact are normal for this company, and in the field in general. I have no doubt that this can be successfully argued. The problem is with the face-value of the BS+7 requirement against the objective O*Net criteria, and the fact that the only way to make an argument is through a business necessity audit.

Hi Friends,


I am visiting to India on vacation and need to go for H1B renewal. My natvie place is in Andhra Pradesh, near to Chennai. So, i am comming from USA to Chennai, and wants to go to Chennai Consulate for stamping.

In vfs site the moment i select AP, it showing only Hyderabad appointment dates. how to choose and schedule appointment in Chennai consulate?

Can any of you suggest, how to proceed? is there any issues of going to Chennai rather Hyderabad?

I am resident of AP and went for my renewal last year to Chennai since its nearer to my place as compared to Hyderabad. There is no explicit way to get Chennai. They have a small percentage or limited slots available for out of state applicants at every consulate and as long they are available you should see the option to pick Chennai.

Initially, I did not get the Chennai option as well, but I kept checking and waited for a few weeks and when Chennai option was available I scheduled the appointment. Hope this helps.

Wow! This reminds me of Hydra. No offense meant, but these seemingly independent organizations work collectively on many fronts, connected by same STEM.

Everyone should read this article. A real eye opener.

Travelling via UK is OK as long as you have GC or a valid US Visa stamped in the passport. Even if flights are delayed, staying at the airport is no problem. The problem is not in UK but at the time of boarding in home country. Once you are on the plane....you are fine.

The Indian PM asking for liberalized immigration in the developed world.

please go home and check your email.. :)

PS:BharatPremi, I sent you a PM

Thanks guys. I just sat down and started trowing things on the canvas. It all came together by accedent. I still have some other little stuff to add to it.

I know it is kind of old school to use radial blurs and scan lines but the look so cool.

I'm humbled by yuor comments thank you:goatee:

How important is filing date when it comes to I-485 processing? Does USCIS process I-485s by Filing Date or by Priority Date? If it does so by Filing Date, and assuming that the dates stay current for a long time, does it mean that a person with a later PD can get his/her I-485 processed before a person with an earlier PD if the person with the earlier PD has a later FD?
