I have filled with only one check for all (self+wife) my I-485/AP/EAD. All application receipted without any issue.

Good luck for you filling.

This is no news. Bilbray and his HIRC (founded by Tancredo) are engaging in tough talk and rhetoric knowing full well that Pelosi is not going to put CIR on House agenda.

This is just tough talk with no plans or intention to act. Nothing to see here folks. Back to 485 issues.

U.S. Department of Labor has implemented a new integrated online system � known as the iCert Portal � through which employers can submit applications for permanent labor certification, labor condition applications (LCAs) and other applications for immigration-related DOL programs. In addition, the agency will introduce new editions of Form ETA-9089, the PERM labor certification application, and have already introduced Form ETA-9035, the labor condition application. iCert has already replaced the method of LCA filing for H-1B. The new iCert system begins to accept LCAs as of July 1, 2009. Employer and attorneys as the case may be, can still use the old LCA account but cannot submit new LCA. New LCA has to be filed from iCert.

Following are the new changes which has taken place:
- The new LCA requires writing the SOC (ONET/OES) code and the occupation title for the job.
- The new LCA has a section for basis for the visa classification supported by the application. There are the following categories:
a. New employment;
b. Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer;
c. Change in previously approved employment;
d. New concurrent employment;
e. Change of employer;
f. Amended petition.
- One has to indicate the total number of H-1B/H-1B1 (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) non-immigrant workers.
- The new LCA also requires, in the employer information section, to indicate the Trade name/doing business as (DBA), if applicable, the old LCA does not have this requirement.
- In the new LCA, one is required to write NAICS code.
- There is a new section in the new LCA - Employer point of contact information, which requires to indicate the following: full contact�s name; contact�s job; contact�s address; contact�s telephone number; contact�s e-mail address.

Does anyone know the Job Portals (besides dice, monster, careerbuilder etc) / News Papers where I can find jobs in NY/NJ locations?

Appreciate the support!

I use 3d studio max.

My AP was approved while my wife's it was denied with reason "there is no pending I-485". My PD is 22 Nov 05 which is not yet current so I don't understand why they denied derivative spouses petition while mine was approved. We had an interview back in January and everything went on well there. Did anyone have similar issue? What are my options? I do not want to spend money and file for motion to reopen.

Thank you.

Programmer, analyst programmer, developer, software engineer, sr. software engineer, sys analyst, etc., are all the same.

does this include software QA engineer too?

Good to see motivated members.....

It is certain that the politicians will not touch the immigration topic in the next one year. Even after best efforts of the president the immigration bill failed in the senate few months ago.

One and only one thing that can be tried before Nov 2008 is the recapture of visa numbers from the last five years. I think IV should push for that.

Other than the above not much can happen, get ready for really long cold winter and then a looong hot summer. I wish things were better.

---I'm only talking in regards to FY-2007 in light of current development.---

Now that everything is current there would not be any need to per country quota. CORRECT?
Or since EB3 other is not current ("U") they cannot use AC21?

they have hinted retrogression in Sept for China, India, etc

Now if there is no per country quota, how can they retrogress EB for China, India, or any other country unless EB3 ROW is not current?

So unless they retrogress ROW, logically they should not retrogress at least EB2 for India, China and other countries

Come to think of it... That second one kinda looks like a pnas. :|

Hi All,

Sorry for posting this in an Immigration forum. I am just trying to get some advise from people who might have already been in this situation.

My cousin came to US on F-1 visa in Jan 2007. She has been attending grad school in NY...She got money from India to pay for her tuition for the first semester as she had no financial aid....One professor promised her aid starting Aug 2007 but that prof left the university for personal reasons so I paid her tuition/insurance for one semester ($10k)....I have also been helping her with her living expenses since she arrived in US....She only worked 1 day throughout the year and has a W-2 with $29 as earnings for 2007...

My question is, can I claim her as a dependent in my tax filing....She lives in NY and I work/live in TX.....I am planning to consult a tax professional regarding this, but I just wanted to get a heads up from you all before visiting a professional.

Thanks for your time.

A LCA has to be filed prior to your working at a new location. Make sure to file it ASAP. It's a simple procedure to follow.

Hello,
I'm a Jul 2nd filer at NSC and got my receipts on Aug 12 with a notice date of Aug 8th.I'm yet to receive my FP notice.

Is anyone here in the same situation?

Thanks

See my signature

Congrats!

I got my perm (EB2) approved in 5 weeks :)

We all need to do that.. Specially when there are memo's and re-entry issues coming up left and right.

I have a big problem that I got approved on the H1 Recapture to get back into US on January 15, 09 though my attorney screwed up by putting someone else background into the Petition Letter submitted to USCIS with my application. The petition letter to USCIS is all wrong. It states the wrong education, work experience and job duty. They put somebody else background into mine. They put the correct sponsoring company on the first page of the letter though at the end of the second page they put the wrong sponsoring company. In this case, what should I do and what should I answer at the US Consular in Malaysia to get my H1 Visa? What should I do now? Please advise. Do I have to resubmit the application back to USCIS? Will I get rejected? Please help. Thank you very much.

if you have copy of I-140 , it contains 13 digit receipt number (SRC, WAC etc..).

Enter the number in USCIS case status to find out the latest update on the I-140 file @ https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard.do

Anyone here??
