I am new to IV. I am just wondering whether we have ever emphasized on bifurcation of Immigration Bill or call for a interim law to facilitate legal immigrant's issues ( mainly retro victims) -

Our problems are very basic and do not have sociopolitical or economical strings attached to it (Probably works better for economy as lot of us are holding on to buy houses and other big budget stuff).

The main issue I have is
- Unable to change jobs

I can wait for GC but not being able to change jobs is hurting me most.
Employers do not find projects and do not pay on bench. Once you find a project Employer wants a big cut. All in the name of policy ;) .

Please share your thoughts.

Your issue is same as everyone's here. SKIL bill does not have anything to do with illegals, but CIR does. This organization is keeping all options open and doing everything, but for some reason, there does not seem to be an easy rsolution to our issue. The group is working hard with support of members, other similar organizations, well wishers, members, some politicians, lobbyists, media etc..

For the URL. That helps. I have PM ed paskal.

Cheers

not a lawyer so take this with grain of salt.

she need to request her passport back and can travel back on AP if it is urgent.

VO has given back all the documents back to her including passport, when my wife said she has travel plans to go back early.

My concern is when the administrative processing is completed, then how do we get the passport stamped or is there a way to withdraw the visa application.

She can stay as long as she wants, but it is finally up to the port of entry officer to decide to let her in or not depending on reason for staying outside (while 485 is pending) is valid or not. After all AP is supposed to be used only for emergency situations.

Can wife stay in India for more than 6 months while 485 is pending?

What she have now is an approved AP till 2009 december.

thanks
achu.

Helo all,

Thanks for you advises.

Here is my case details. GC is under retrogression
PD is 09/2005, concurrently filed both I140 and 485, AP and EAD on Dec 2004at California Center , but employer located at NJ. According to attorney as I am working in CA, he has to file at CA. Dependent's 485 is not applied and now she is in US on H4. Never used AP and EAD. Working on H1 with GC sposor employer only.
I140 got approved in Aug 2005. Applied for 7 th year extension for me and dependent. Got approved for three years based on approved I140

Now I want to move to Texas and want to transfer H1 to new employer using AC21. Can I relocate from CA to Texas( In ETA forms Job location is mentioned as Undecided) and can I get 3 years H1 transfer approval through new employer?

New employer will give offer letter as Programmer Analyst with very good salary than current, but he is requesting to work as QA for some time at client place in Texas. Can I work in different job responsibilities at cleint though new employer's offer letter says Programmer Analyst with same job responsibilities mentioned in Labor?


Please advise me
Regards

I am stuck in a similar situation in Mumbai. It is the 4th week running.
when did you finally get yours done ?

Slightly sooner than expected but the H1B cap was reached today. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to reach the statutory cap for fiscal year (FY) 2011. USCIS is notifying the public that yesterday, Jan. 26, 2011, is the final receipt date for new H-1B specialty occupation petitions requesting an employment start date in FY2011.

The final receipt date is the date on which USCIS determines that it has received enough cap- subject petitions to reach the limit of 65,000. Properly filed cases will be considered received on the date that USCIS physically receives the petition; not the date that the petition was postmarked. USCIS will reject cap-subject petitions for new H-1B specialty occupation workers seeking an employment start date in FY2011 that arrive after Jan. 26, 2011.

USCIS will apply a computer-generated random selection process to all petitions that are subject to the cap and were received on Jan. 26, 2011. USCIS will use this process to select petitions needed to meet the cap. USCIS will reject all remaining cap-subject petitions not randomly selected and will return the accompanying fee.

On Dec. 22, 2010, USCIS had also received more than 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of persons exempt from the cap under the �advanced degree� exemption. USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions that are otherwise exempt from the cap.

Those who missed the filing this week, should get ready to file on April 1, 2011 for the FY 2012 term, we feel that visas will run out fast this coming April.

Sledge hammer nobody is interested in the poll it seems ;)

My attorney has asked to send color copies of the driver's license for 485 filing. I just now realized that I have not changed my address on the license. Will that be a problem? Is it critical to have current address on the license? Any thoughts?

Yes, It is critical to have the current address in the DL. From your ID, friend_in_NC looks like you are from North Carolina. You need not go the DMV to change the address, can get it done over the internet and your new DL will be mailed within a week. Copy of DL is used only for EAD, you can file EAD after a week. Also state rule require you have the current address in DL. If you moved you have to get this done within 60 days.

Hi

Since I got electronic refund to my tax rebate and have SSN for all family members, I was expecting Tax refund (stimulus) to be deposited in my bank accoung this week. This was big announcement in the last week.

But I dont see any rebate deposited in my account?

Does any of you have received such rebates?

Is there any contacts numbers where we can approach if we did not received Stimulus rebate al though we filed electronically?

Thanks

I did received the money on May 2 nd. The date when you receive your money depends on teh last two didigit of your SSN number. PLease check IRS.Gov there is a link to check your sttaus.

Hi

I have appied EAD and AP together for me and my wife.

I didn't receive the receipt notice for my wife EAD but the check is in cashed. when my wife called TEXAS center, IO told it was rejected by mistake and reprocessed.

She will call again tomorrow to find more. Her online status is still, petition is not signed and rejected. Application mailed back. But I didn't get the any document in mail.

She can use her AP to enter back but if she has the time and can get h1b stamped she is strongly recommended to do so. Reason behind it is if she has any over stay (out of status) in the past it won't be a problem when 485 is being processed.

In simple terms if you can get visa stamped recommended if not AP is fine. regardless she will be on adjustment of status and also H1B status (have approval notice) at the same time.

Hi-

My spouse recently started working on F1 OPT. She also got her H1 approved (port of entry was requested and not change of status). H1 was through lottery to start from oct upon stamping. Suddenly our PD moved forward and we will file 485 next month.

We are going to India in dec. By that time we should get our AP. My question is does my wife need to go for H1 stamp or can she enter using her AP and keep H1 status. Both of us have different employers. Her 485 will be filed as my dependant.

Secondly - I will also get a new EAD. Can I work second part time job using that ead while maintaining my permanent job using H1?

L1 visa is granted to people who have worked in the home country for the sponsoring company before coming to US. So, if you have worked in XYZ bangalore, you can get an L1 from XYZ to come to US. However, you are obviously working in the US for your present employer, so how could you have worked for the other company in the home country (Example - India)??

After the initial H-1B period maxes out, the beneficiary needs to move out of the US but not necessarily to the home country, for at least a year. Please read here (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=110aec897643f010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=1847c9ee2f82b010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) for details.

I came across this video which talks about the swine flu and the vaccine, more importantly the side effects that the vaccine may cause in childrens. I was surprised to hear that the medical community refused to take the vaccine. Why?

If you are still maintaining your H as long as it is above the wage on the LCA you dont have an issue. Also when your GC is appproved, you will need to make at least what was said on the labor, if not more.

Hi All,

Have few questions on canadian immigration. I am eligible for AINP H1-B program and am planning to go for it...

1. I am married and have a kid and are staying in India right now. There is a section on AINP 009 form which asks for spouse's and kid's signature as well. So please let me know if I can submit the application AINP 009 form now without my their signature's as they are not with me in USA? or is it mandatory to have their signature's (it
would take couple of weeks for me to get it signed if required). Please advise.

2. Also on CIC application family details form it asks for brothers/sisters addresses. Does complete address need to be mentioned or just city/town and country suffice?

3. Will there be any interview for PNP programs i.e. once the province sponsers me then I will need to apply to CIC..right? Will I be called for any interview for final decision of PR?

4. My wife is going to join me in US for few months and will go back to India to take care of parents (health issues). My question is say when she goes back and is in India and if I will be called for PR interview along with them(i.e. at final stage when called for) and for some reason she wont be able to come back for interview
a. Is it possible for just me to go for the interview and let them know that my family has gone back for some reason. Or is it mandatory for the whole family to go for the interview?
b. If I can go without them then will it be a problem in the interview? Maybe I can explain them the reason for their absence. Will I get my PR after my interview or do I need to wait for theirs to be over. will we get for all of us together?
Please let me know if anybody has any idea on how things will work in this case.

hmmm... i've been trying to export as an eps to freehand or as ai to illustrator, neither of which have been working because i think the file's too big (1200 x 2400). when i export the resulting file appears to be just vertical lines. i'll try just copying and pasting, if it works i will be a happy camper.

EB3 Oct 2002... No Brainer... Go for it.

Dear IV Friends,

Please help us with your suggestions/ideas. My Wife's 485 application is pending along with her EAD and AP. She applied on Aug-1st and received the receipt notice on Aug-12th for her AP and EAD. My G.C. got approved and I received the card in the mail. (Earlier I was on H-1 and she was on H-4).

My wife got a job offer and the company will wait until she gets her card to formally get her on board.

Now she wants to visit India before she can join the job. Is there any way she can go to India and come back?

Thanks in advance!

I obtained an H1B visa through Company A (starting October 2008) and the H1B visa was valid until September 2011, unfortunately in March 2009 I was laid off. As a result to maintain my status I switched from an H1B visa to a B1/B2 visa. I actually went to my home country and got the visitors visa from the consulate in my home country. In July 2009 I returned to the USA and entered the USA as a visitor on a B1/B2 visa.

My question now is what happens if I obtain employment. What does my new employer have to do? Since my initial H1B approval is valid until September 2011, can by new employer just take over the H1B without me having to go through the lottery system again even though currently I am on a visitors visa and have been unemployed for more than 3 months?

Thank you.
