'Comprehensive' Legislation vs. Fundamental Reform: The Limits of Current Immigration Proposals

Pardon me if this question has been asked before. This query is for my friend who got laid off just before his 140 got approved in 02/09.
Case details: PD 08.2007; 3 yr. H1B expiring 08.2009

What are his options to keep the GC process rolling & things to consider?
Can he return to his home country, India, and apply 485 by consular processing when his PD is current?
Thank you.

Hi,

My L1 and I-94 is valid till August 14th 2009 -- I want to know if I can travel India and come back before it is expired. Are there any restrictions on port of entry when visa is nearing to expire. I would not take chance if there is a porblem in international travel and if I have deportation issues at the point of entry then I am not willing to go. But I want to visit my parents as they are not doing well.

Also, I am thinking once I am back from India then I can apply for L1 visa extension -- is it a good idea to apply for extension after I come back or I can apply and go to India for vacation.

Please guide me as I am in a fix and I am not able to take any decession.

I agree with Clockwork - PD is your labor filing date and not approval date. Good Luck.

Before i begin let me say its my mistake :(

My EAD expires Oct 08 and my lawyer sent me the forms to file in and send it back to him to be filed in Aug 08. But it was delayed by me till last week and was filed yesterday. what are my chances of getting EAD and continue working. In June 08 i went to India and came back using AP so i am not in H1 (i assume).

what should i do if i dont get EAD approved before oct 08?

Thanks:confused:

stop working until you get your EAD

I used that same option for my wife as she is on EAD and working.
I am still on H1-B and used the other option related to my status.

Hi Folks,

I am currently on EAD and am applying for extension using e-file. I had a question on what do we fill in for 'Current Immigration Status'. The closest I can think about (as per the options given) is : DA - Advance Parole (Dist Auth).
Any comments?

Has anyone using EAD currently done an e-file for extension?


Thanks

I don't think uscis would process any application without money:D
When you did the first time did you pay?

On Acceptance, your petitioner will receive the hardcopy (receipt notice) generally within 2-4 business days.
Check on the receipt notice, the amount and a text which says its filed in premium.

Good luck.

Many people wait until they at least receive the receipt notice but nothing stops you from starting with the new employer as soon as the petition is submitted (you may need to provide proof of this submission) as per AC21.

(I am not an attorney so please contact your lawyer for confirmation)

Company B applied H1B tranfer petition for me two weeks back. Our documents went to USCIS, and we didnt received receipt notice yet. To my surprise the filing fee check is also not yet encashed.

Can anyone of you please let me know, if I can start working with company B now or wait until we get the receipt notice. What is the USCIS guidelines with the start date during H1B transfer.

I dont think will give a true picture. There are a lot of people who dont care about tracking once they apply.

who are these 60k cases? i cant see it on or anywhere. these will some reflection of this..correct?

Saurabh,

Sorry to hear that you are in this situation. It took about 8 weeks. Also one more thing, during this ordeal, I talked to an experienced lawyer who also said 8 weeks.

Gifts & Items Sent to the White House

Items sent to the White House often experience a significant delivery delay and can be irreparably harmed due to the security screening process. Therefore, please do not send items of personal importance, such as family photographs, because items may be unable to be returned. We also request that gifts of a consumable nature, such as food, flowers, and other perishable items, not be sent to the White House due to the security screening process. While the President and Mrs. Bush and Vice President and Mrs. Cheney appreciate your thoughtfulness, they request that you look instead to your local community for opportunities to assist your neighbors in need.

Hello Experts,

Little bit of background. I have been working on h1 since 2003 and applied labor in Mar 2005.
I have was able to get my application with 2007 filers. Got my 140 approved last year and ead and FP done as well. My GC sponsoring company is a desi consultancy, which is helpful to a certain extent and I have been with them since 2004.

I am in a bit of a dilemma now. The client, where I have been working for last few years, have instated a new policy in which contractors must be on W2 with the vendors. Vendor I am working with is not big and like any other consultancy (Tek, comsys), will fire if you don't have a project for 15-20 days. In the past, I wouldn't have bothered even thinking about this and moved on for another project but because of recession and difficult job market and I am contemplating this move.

After doing research, I am thinking of the following strategy.

I will transfer my h1b with the vendor and will not use EAD. Plan to work with the vendor for as long as possible and when the contract ends move back with the GC sponsoring employer. I am going with assumption that the GC sponsor will not revoke my 140 (even though it shouldn't matter as I am past 180 days with 485 and 140 is approved) and when the contract ends I have something to fall back on to. Doing that could secure me if USCIS asks EVL in future and I can simply my GC sponsoring company to show that for future employment. Also, I want to keep h1b as a way to bring my wife (if and when, with divine intervention, I get married somehow).

Do you think if this is a viable solution? Any suggestion is welcome.

Generally salary at the end of the year i.e. total, that counts, which should be at least what is mentioned in the LCA.

Dear Core Team,

Can you please indicate on the site if there are any bills (pending or otherwise in both the house and senate) that can get renewed focus or revived that would offer some sort of relief to the current situation of unavailability of visa numbers in the employment based green card process. I strongly feel that the current momentum and attention being drawn by the DOS/CIS update can be used to urge congress to pass some interim measure outside of CIR. That is where in my opinion should IV's focus be at this juncture. If and when you post anything on the site, i and other IV members i'm sure shall begin calling house reps. and senators to urge them for bringing the bill to the floor so that it provides relief to hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants.

Thanks!

Please IM the core members directly. I am not one. But I am sure once they ascertain your identity, they will provide all the details that you require.

I am an undergrad student at purdue. I went to a community college for a year and transferred back to purdue. I did not fill in any paper work or anything and I was put out of status as per my international advisor. I handed them a all the documents that were needed for reinstatement. they told me it take 3-4 months for reinstatement and i should stay the US in the meantime.
Now being said that I filled it on 10/9/11 and i am gonna be dropped from purdue on 10/17/11. I am planning on attending a community college for the coming semester and they will not accept me with a terminated record.
So my questions are -
1) Will immigration department check back with uni if i am still enrolled (note: i got paper signed from my advisor with my graduation dates on it)
2) Should i leave US and apply for a new visa and a new i 20 with that community college?
If yes, then what are my chances of getting a visa?
3) What are my options??

Please advice. I am at crucial crossroads of my life.
thanks!!!!

Strange but its true.. Height of stupidity. Read the story below:

http://webtracy.blogspot.com/2008/02/california-mechanics-liens-homebuyers.html?ref=patrick.net

As a home buyer or even as an owner you should be aware of this. But I am a bit puzzled by this story. Usually the title insurance that you get at the time of buying home is supposed to cover any such issues. In this case may be they did not get title insurance or their title insurance didn't cover enough amount.

Also as a home owner, if you get some work/improvements done at your home by a contractor make sure you get a signed declaration from him every time you pay him. The declaration should say that he has paid all his workers their dues and that he will be responsible for any payment disputes arising later if any.

Yes. I did contacted both Kerry and Brown's office last month (July end) for my EAD renewal application.

Both office staff were very receptive. Brown office has more than one person working on immigration matter....and I believe they were first to act on my case. I got EAD approval 4 days later.

My Case as of March 2010:
EB3 (India) applied with company A. PD: June 2004.
Labor approved, I-140 approved.
No EAD. Labor was not approved when EB3 dates became current
First issue of H1B March 2003
Currently have a 3 year H1B extension (beyond 6 years) due to run out in Nov 2011.

My Questions:
1. I am still working with Company A. Can I move to Company B, i.e. will I be able to transfer my H1B, which is now in its 8th year? If yes, will the transfer be valid till Nov 2011?
2. If I can move to Company B, do I have to file for a new GC right away? If not, by when?
3. Can this new GC be EB2 with the hope of porting the PD from my EB3 case from Company A? If yes, what is the criteria for such a port?
4. Anything else I should keep in mind if I can and do decide to switch to Company B?

All your help is greatly appreciated!! I have been sitting and just waiting for my EB3 to get current, which does not seem like a possibility now. Hoping that I can use an EB2 case.

Thanks a lot for your time to take a look at my case.
Regards

Looks like the long awaited spending bill is finally in the making and should make its way to the congress soon. For those of you who haven't contributed to IV, this should come as a warning that if you don't contribute now, it may just be too late for us to seek any relief in these bills.

Once this opportunity has passed, we'll be stuck with CIR which everyone knows is a tough pill to swallow for either party in the congress and could drag on for months and may never see the light of the day. So here are the choices:

1. Contribute now and try to get some relief from these spending bills.

2. Contribute later and try to get something done with CIR/SKIL.

3. Never contribute and just watch core members pull their hair trying to figure out why people are not contributing and just hope that GC will fall from sky.

Whatever you chose to do, please think twice before you make up your mind.
