US is a sovereign country and Govt of India cannot say what to do and how to handle the immigration issues. Hell GOI cannot handle its own immigration issue on the eastern border :)

More over the big Indian IT companies lose employees (read as revenue) if they lobby for GC.

Thanks to All :)

Hi Gurus:

Could you tell me do I need CGFNS visa screen for filling I-140 as registered nurse?

My situation,

I am having Bachelor Of Science in Nursing degree from US unviersity.
I have state board nursing license (RN NcLex) from NJ.

Do I still need CGFNS VIsa Screen?

Thanks all

I believe CGFNS is for foreign nationals who train outside the US. If you train here, I don't think you need it.

Yes. I used for twice for two different people. No problem.

Immigration Law from Houston Immigration Lawyer - Annie Banerjee Has Just Posted the Following:


The DOL introduced a new Prevailing Wage system which will centralize everything. Previously each State's Workforce Agency gave those Prevailing Wage. Obviously there were discrepancies in how each SWA operated causing problems with DOL filings.

However, DOL introduced this new system of centralized Prevailing Wage determination with no computerized system of filing. We have to mail in our request to the DOL. Then the DOL will take forever to come up with a Prevailing Wage. The DOL has advised employers to file the Prevailing Wage 60 days prior to advertising for a PERM, since the ads expire in 6 months. This is strange because the DOL went computerized much earlier than the CIS did. Why could they not have a faster computerized process BEFORE centralizing the whole process? Was this then intentional?

This will slow down businesses, and filing of immigration. Similarly in July of 2009 the DOL significantly slowed down the LCA filings for H-1Bs. Which makes me wonder if DOL is slowing down things as a protectionist measure which caters to socialism? Is this the death of free enterprise, and business at the speed of 21 Century? It was another Democratic President and Congress that passed the AC 21 to speed the process up about a decade ago.

Some where I read that there is no fee for renewal of AP. I am a Jul 07 filer and am not sure about this. Further already applied last year for Advance parole and traveled once. it got expired last month. I am applying for a new one again. So just wanted to know if I need to pay the fees $305.

So my questions are:

Does July 07 filers need to send the cheque for $305 for AP renewal. (My I 485 Reciept Date is Aug 2007)
Should we also include Biometric fee of $80?

And how much time approx is it taking these days for AP?

Thanks in advance and appreciate your advise

I did change make some modifications just before i read your post. I changed the stroke and font to a larger one.

I sent her an email today to ask her to mail the originals and she refused.
"We usually keep the original receipts. " was her answer.

What to do? This is so frustrating. ARGHH!!!!
I know I have the right to ask for them but I want to keep it civil and not antagonize her. Is there any reason I can give her, like travel, to make her send me the originals without getting into a fight?

An RFE got generated on my wife's 485 application. Our company lawyer filed our 485 applications. Does anyone know who gets the RFE notice? Will it be the lawyers office or us?

I am a resident physician on h1b visa which is expiring on 6-30-2010 . I am in process of applying for H1B extension for my fellowship. My wife is on H4 visa (expiring in 3-20-2013 since she got 5 yr multiple visa). Recently she visited Kuwait and on her re-entry she was given entry (on her I94) up to 3-15-2013 (up to 5 days prior to her visa expiration). Will she also need extension in this case along with my extension or can she stay in US till 2013 with out extension Thanks.

Hi,
I am a july 21 filer and received I-485 notices on Sept 26. I am required to join my job on Oct 8 and i want to use the EAD for that.

My question is, if i see the status as "card ordered" before Oct 8, then can i call USCIS to get the EAD number before joining the job. OR does the employer need to be shown the EAD card before joining.



It looks like it is taking 1 week from notice date to see the status change to "Card Ordered" and another 7-10 days or more to get the card.

thanks,


DONT EVEN TRY. wait for the EAD and in the mean time let your future employer know.They will not mind waiting for a week or so.

Thanks chantu, She doesn't have AP, Do you think it is Safe only if she has AP ?
Yes, she can travel on H4 stamping. Also let her carry AP if need arises.

Agree, too much blue sky. This would be better with early or late light since midday sun doesn't do the clouds justice. Maybe a little more foreground foliage would help too. I'm not sure since I'm not much of a landscape photographer, but I am working on it, and those are some things I'm trying. :)

Contact a good lawyer to do so. You can use EB3 priority date in EB2

Thank you so much for your input .Right now I'm in a kind of predicament that my current employer told me in the middle of premium processing that he was hiring another person in my place.Then, when I spoke with my attorney he said we couldn't do anything in the middle of the process but to go ahead with it.I was approved for H1B 3 days after this incident.But, I have never worked for them since then and it's been a month trying to find another non-profit employer.So, in the midst of all this scenario, what would be the next alternative to be in the USA, how long I can be like this , I dont have a single pay stub, so can I show a reason that I was sick /or leave of absence when I find another job and include this kind of document with the peition or can do nothing for this period of time in the new petition.Could anybody please help me and Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a limit on the # of travels for each AP approval. I received 2 AP documents valid until May 2010. I have already travelled twice. On my first return the immigration officer kept my AP document at POE (NY) but the 2nd time it was stamped & returned (Washington DC was POE) to me. I was wondering if I could use this document for subsequent re-entries or do I have to apply for a new AP.

Thanks,
Rajeev
