Thanks kanshul for ur reply. What is your suggestion for me.
Should I stick onto my current employer.
Do you have any clue when will be the date current for me.Any chance in this year?
My clients have made my life hell forcing me to join in the company as permanent.

I find it difficult to digest that parents ship their infant children to someone else to raise.
Dude, if you find it difficult to digest, then don't do it with your kid. Its that simple.
A debate on this is probably not warranted, as its subjective to every individual's situation.

And btw, both my kids live with me, but they travelled with someone else to spend their vacation at grand-parent's house, so I am not trying to oppose your viewpoint.

From all the updates and information shared so far, it seems pretty clear that if the DREAM Act fails, it will make it extremely difficult, politically, for any EB or non-EB related immigration legislation (piecemeal or otherwise) to be introduced in Congress over the coming two years. So irrespective of whether visa recapture is a part of this bill or not (and we know that it is NOT), what happens to DREAM is very important from an overall strategy point of view.

I am just interpreting what is out there.

Brothers, i just want to know why we are happy with this DREAM thing or i am missing something. why do we care about this?

Please tell me if it has something for us.

Thanks

wow, thanks a lot for the reply!
I will come back often to update and do my share of contribution.
seriously, I feel the green card process is getting worse and worse.
my friends told me that things were not that bad prior to 2002.
starting 2002, it went downhill like a free fall. I have friends who haven't got their labor (turned in late 2002) done. some of them got laid off recently, and they have to go from zero again. they're seriously considering leaving the States.

Green card is like a rope on the neck.

Great effort but its awfully slow. Was never so slow before..Is it just my machine?

Man,
You can take any or take both. It does not matter as long as they have at least one to see....Dont take tension, there is nothing to FP as long as you attend it

Congrats and Good Luck to all.Thanks

I would appreciate it if someone can give me some advise...I need to file my EAD renewal & refuse to pay insane amounts of money to my attorney...


Thanks!!!!

I am filing for my EAD renewal and had a quick question...I have an EAD card from when I was in college and did my OPT. The problem though is that I do not have some of the details that they ask for while filing EAD renewal, such as what Center was it processed at & what was the application date.

I have already called USCIS & they cant pull up what center my EAD was filed at or the date it was filed. Can anyone suggest what I should do in this situation? What do I put in the form? Does anyone have similar experiences?

Paper filing as per the instructions, my friend got the EAD in less than 30 days from the date it was sent to TSC. He was kind of unhappy as he applied 120 days prior to expiry and had 90 days go waste (in terms of filing fees)

My gully, I should have issued personal cheque instead of asking the atty. to use his cheques. I could then saved the trouble of asking the atty. everynow and then.

I still have 20 days left before I could get my RN based on the rate of receipting recently.

As per Lawyer need to file for amendment before EAD expires. Need I-20 from Kaplan and another application fee ($190) + PP fee($1,000). :( But at least H1 is approved :)

New I-20 must be valid till Sept 30th and must start either before EAD expires or within grace period (EAD expiration date + 60 days)

** Best of luck to others still waiting **

because many of the IOs are dumb high school grads with some additional training. They have been told that 2006 is current and so they pick all and only 2006.

is there any way we can get DOS to specifically state that 2006 and all prior years ARE CURRENT instead of just throwing out a current PD in a VB?

Thankfully, not all IOs are so dumb, hence the few pre-2006 approvals. What else could explain this anomaly..... :mad:

Do you have a legal reference for the > 50 miles rule ? In my case it is just 10 miles (moved from one town to next town). So I guess I am fine ?

Krish,

it is not all black and white, if your previous LCA covers the new work location, you should be fine, else a new LCA is required.

washingtonwatch has survey for CIR (S 9). I encourage every one to post comment and vote.

I see the following kind of posts at the above kinds of sites.

I am almost 7 year in this country
this country gave me lots of opt. but i am stuck with EB3 i am unable to file I-485 lets hope +ve for this bill please push this bill
lets pray to God together.

I don't see the following kind of posts at the above kind of sites.

I have been folllowing IV for some time now and i feel core are just bunch of useless and ineffective group of people, with zero track record....... they are going to achieve NOTHING!!!!!

Such a post would replace the word IV with Senate/House and the word core with the names of four important persons involved with our issues:
1. Nancy Pelosi (Madam speaker),
2. Zoe Lofgren (Chair, House subcommittee on Immigration),
3. Harry Reid (Senate Majority Leader),
4. Ted Kennedy (Chair, Senate House subcommittee on Immigration).

Come on TIGER these are the sites to vent your frustation. You will get your GC (overnight delivery or even personal delivery by Nancy Pelosi + Harry Reid) with the above kind of posts. It will also show the way to the dumb contributing IV members.

Please lead the way at the above kind of sites.

In my experience, it is not required if your are still within the expiry date on the previous stamping and the previous stamping was for a H1-B. You just need to show the latest 797 ( h1-b approval) . I have used this feature many times, and have even changed two employers in between. Never had a problem, except once while coming back from Canada. The immigration officer was new and hence went and asked her superior who said it is no problem. I was let thru with not problems after that. I never had a problem in SFO, thru which i travel frequently.

I think i saw a FAQ for this on murthy.com . check that site as well.

In the end, I am not an attorney, so dont legally hold me to my response. consult your attorney.

Bidi, I guess.
By the way, what do you smoke?

In the RIR system EB2 was MS + 3 and BS+5.

If BS+5 is still the norm in PERM...how come MS+0 is acceptable under PERM. Did they change the rule....I think this a loophole

It isn't a loophole. That's how the PERM Jobzone/SVP system works.

Noticed this article today. Thought some of us would love to roll your eyes over it.

Yes All The Winners - Lets Go To Dc

Hi,

My wife is waiting on her H-1B approval. She is on a H-4 currently. The company that sponsored her H-1B is an american fortune 500. This will be her first H-1B and she is in the USA for 11 months now. I have a few questions:

1. To apply for the SSN she would need the original I-797 and the I-94, correct?
2. After she applies at the SSN office, will she be able to see the number immediately (and wait for the card) ?
3. How long does it normally take them for issuing a SSN for a person like her? (H-4 to first time H-1B)?

Thanks in advance.

The law is very clear in this matter, you can travel while an extension is pending you cannot travel if you have filed for a change of status.
Travel outside the United States while an extension of stay application is pending with the Service is not considered an abandonment of the application, and, as a result, the extension request may be granted notwithstanding the trip abroad. Keep in mind that the extension applicant may have problems returning to the U.S. if his or her visa has expired. In this cases, he or she will need to obtain a new H-1B nonimmigrant visa abroad before returning to the United States.
