I took an infopass appointment last october and my FBI name check status was pending. After seeing the USCIS memo on march4th that all namecheck pending for 180 days has been cleared by feb 28th 2009, i went again for an infopass appt last week. IO toldme that my namecheck is still pending.

So i contacted my senators office same day and sent all my info along with the USCIS memo. Next day senators office called me back and told me that they called USCIS and came to know that my name check has been cleared. Senators office told me that infopass information could be wrong or may not have been updated.

IS that a possibility ? any inputs ?


I took infopass again last week and the IO told me the FBI name check is still pending. My lawyer initiated and inquiry to nebraska serv center and got following notification

"CIS electronic records indicate that both applicants have current Fingerprint results and FBI name checks"

Does that mean FBI name check is cleared?. If yes why infopass showing wrong thing?. Also i had only one FP done, that was in sep 2007.

...please

yep, it worked.. took a lousy picture and made it interesting....
love the effect!

and i wonder why i dont have a job yet lol

here I've got something for you

Hi, Sorry if this has been asked already.. I am on H1B and the primary applicant... Can I change my SSN to remove "Work with Authorization only" statement on SSN by using EAD?

I am planning to stay on H1B and I dont want to invalidate H1B by doing this.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for taking up such a good cause!

I have one suggestion for the website.. Search engines are usually parameters-averse. For instance Google claims they may stop crawling if the links have too many parameters. The non-forum part of this Joomla powered website mostly utilize &s and ?s parameters in the URL.

The Joomla installation comes with an SEF component that converts &s and ?s into comma-separated directory structures.. You guys can turn it on in the admin panel. The conversion makes the URL look even uglier but it is at least SEF-compliant. Or there are other third party Joomla components that do a better job (though may require slightly more tuning)

Ed: Moved to new thread. Please start a new thread when you want start a new topic.

I was wondering if anyone has any info on the job
market for international students in NY. I will be graduating
in Dec and will be on the job market soon.

Some of my friends say that there are jobs to be had but
not many are keen on sponsoring H1, even non-tarp firms.

Can anyone confirm/refute this?

market is tough but dont give up & just sit back though - for what its worth look aggressively & hopefully you have opt for 1+year available so they get a chance to look at you

Today, I received an email from USCIS that my EAD application got approved. My receipt date is on the 3rd week of May of 2007. What I don't understand is that the current processing time at NSC for I-765(EAD) for pending I-485 is March 26th, 2007.....

They are not always up to date on their processing times.

I like the first one better. nice work

He is going to all noise and no action. He lost most of his steam in nov elections ....

Hi,

Can a H4 visa holder apply for the Praxis test series and then apply for State Teacher Certification. I know on H4 we can't work but is it possible , just getting the Teacher Certification.

I believe that you can take tests as long as you formally study on your own. But get this confirmed by a lawyer.

If it's not possible on H4 then I have an option to convert H4 to L2 (as my husband will change his status from H1 to L1) and get EAD.

Just a clarification: If your spouse changes from H1 to anything, your H-4 status is automatically terminated; there is no "option" to retain it.

Can after that can I get the Teacher Certification from PA ?

I checked on PA State Teacher Certification requirement for Foreign Educated Teachers and there is one point like this.

- is a citizen of the United States or holds an resident alien (green card) visa

Will EAD/H4 considered as Resident Alien Visa ?

No.

Or without Green Card it's not possible to get this Certificate ?

Please help me.
Thanks

Thanka a lot Jim!

Please give us more details , don't mention color of the receipts(one is Visa appointment fees and second Visa issuance fee )

as far I remember , the receipt used to get visa appointment should match with what you you submit at consulate. If you have lost it then u need to get another DD and book/if possible edit the appointment deatils

But if you have lost Visa issuance fees , u don't have to modify ur appointment details but sure you need to get another DD

my wife still needs to go for VISA, HDFC gives 2 receipts.. 1 which we have to submit(yellow), I have that .. .the other 1 that we have to show at the time of interview.. (pink) I have a copy of tht (stamped by HDFC)..

I got 3d studio max, and of course swifty, but how 'zactly can i make new textures through studio max, and then slap em on some jiffy image i made and make it super?

then I'll only enter the Bobblehead as an entry :)
thanks for the feedback

Graham: DREAM Act push damaged wider immigration reform effort

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Saturday that the failed Democratic effort to pass the DREAM Act in the lame duck session dealt a blow to future talks on a wider immigration bill.

�It was an exercise to try and taint Republicans with Hispanic voters, knowing that the DREAM Act under these circumstances could never pass,� Graham told reporters in the Capitol after the bill sputtered on the floor.

�What they have done on the DREAM Act is hurt overall comprehensive immigration reform,� he said.

The DREAM Act, which would give legal status to illegal immigrants who came to the country at a young age, lived here for at least five years, graduated from high school and attended college or served in the military, fell five votes short of the 60 needed to overcome a GOP-led filibuster � 55 to 41.

Graham has worked with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in the past to try and seek a Capitol Hill compromise on a wider reform plan -- one that would blend increased enforcement and border security with a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, among other measures.

He said the DREAM Act effort will make it harder to bridge divides on immigration, noting the impassioned advocacy on both sides of the issue.

�Our base is all riled up that this is amnesty, so you have taken a debate on immigration, one part of it, you have gotten people emotional before you can sit down and reason your way through a comprehensive bill,� Graham said. �Doing this vote the way they did it has hurt the ability to do comprehensive reform next year to some extent.�

What Graham conveniently forgets is that he gave up on the immigration bill, because it was being taken up before the 2010 elections!

I understand there will be stress headache etc... I just wanted to see if the cost of appealing a wrongly rejected 485 was something a H1b employee can afford.
BTW on lighter note:
For headache I use zandu balm
and for stress I do Yoga.
These dont cost as much as docs/lawyers in this country!!
Cheers all

As far as i know, it is not possible. because your friend's I-140 was approved already, based on which I-485 was applied.
He can change an employer and shall not be any issue as long as the job description is same.
That doesn't equate to a situation where an employer can invoke I-140 before it's approval & use the LC for someone else.
(Note: I'm not an attorney)

Hi, I have a question.

1. My colleague crossed 2 years after filing 485. Frustrated with GC processes, he is switching company for better career prospects. He is using his EAD and invoking AC21. Is it possible for me to use his labor? If no, why?

Both NIW and Eb-1a are DIY, so I do not have a lawyer to ask. It would be appreciated if you can share the response from your lawyer.

I am also thinking about interfiling, but it is said that both 140 have to be approved for interfiling of 485. How long does it take for interfiling? someone said it takes a long time. not sure if it is right.

I am in similar boat. What does your lawyer say? I am waiting for my lawyer response. How about option on interfiling NIW 140 with the pending I-485. That is do not file new I-485 but change underlined I-140 in the old one. Ask your lawyer about that and let us also know whats his/her response.

It depends on your Service Center. For TSC, you can have your EAD after 11 weeks from Receipt. For NSC, you can have your EAD after 12 to 14 weeks from Receipt.

Yeah, it could be on October or early November.
