If it is in one of the three locations listed(Jersey City or Edison or Bridgewater ), I will be able to make it, as I expect to be in the Philadelphia region during that time. Anyone interested in carpooling can mail me at sertasheep AT immigration voice. org

Can accomodate upto 4 more people in my vehicle

Great - thanks for offering car pool options. Venue will be finalised soon.

oops, in my suggestion above to shoot both lenses at f/5.6, they must also be at the same iso and shutter speed. Suggest shooting one, noting settings, then shooting the other in manual to match iso, ss and aperture.

Hello Freinds.

After a long wait of 8 years today i got an RFE i don't know what the RFE is all about and will be waiting to get the letter in the mail, do you know how much time does it takes for the paper RFE to come to your lawyer.

RFE was issued today but unlike the email which i got says the status on hold, thats strange

Current Status: REQUEST FOR INITIAL EVIDENCE SENT, CASE PLACED ON HOLD

is this normal or is this is an indication of something wrong and bad.

Please do advice gurus


Best Regards

Saburi
Saburi,
Did you recieve your RFE?. Please share the details so that we can have an idea of what types of RFEs are coming from USCIS.

You don't need to buy insurance. The State governments offer free insurance to people who need it. Atleast your family members would qualify for it.

Well! I never tried that one. I heard its only for people who earned below certain amount. Not everyone would qualify, i guess.

Friends,

As I had indicated that I had admission to study for MBA in europe starting Sep/Oct 2007, looks like I have to drop it due to the GC process ( entangled)

My last discussion wirh Immi and employer drove the nail in the coffin.

I would appreciate any suggestion fromfolks like you.

Outcome:

I can quit the job and proceed for MBA at my risk ( leave spouse behind in the US in I-485 pending stage). If for example my PD ( July 2002 EB3 india) comes up during my absence in the US and if there is a RFE, my current employer WILL NOT provide a job offer so far into the future ( ie post Sep 2008). the least they said they can do is not pull labor and I-140 ( both approved and I-485 pending for 4 yrs)

Since I am in the Mechanical egnineering field , i dont know who to find , ( unlike adundant software body shoppers present) who will draft an offer in case of RFE.

I have few more weeks before I see this opportunity slip by.

Can anyone guess if the EB3- India PD will move to July 2002 or beyond before September 2008?

Any suggestion./directions will be appreciated... Around me i have no one who has even changed jobs , used AC21 etc.

Thanks for your time
--------

Let me guess, remember this is just PURE GUESS.
I think it is unlikely that Eb3 date will reach July 2002 in next 1.5 years, if you see how long it was stuck in April 2001, I can expect the progress to be very very slow.

If there is a CIR or some kind of relief then yes it can reach that far.

I had said this all along. Nothing is going to happen. Not now, not ever, atleast for a long long time.
Happy Friday. Those who are disappointed, it comes at an appropriate time of the week to drink Daroo to forget the disaapointment..

You will not know until I-140 is filed as the preference category is requested on I-140 and not on the PERM.


Thank you very much for your reply.Usually howmany it will take to get the I-140 receipt number once it has filed.My 140 has filed under premium processing in few days ago.

as per my experience, 2 hours is more than enough to make the transition (assuming there aren't delays) at any airport (assuming there aren't flight delays).

Thanks, I've not been able to do any work today after this thing got into my mind. I got my labor approved and I-140 is pending...

Hi,

I got the standard RFE
1) End date in client letter
2) EE relationship
3) show project validity till h extension requested( 3 years)

RFE response to be received on or before July 10 2010

With all problems from vendor and client i was able to get letters but my lawyer sent the packet on July 9 and when I was tracking the status it says that UPS due to some unforeseen reason will now deliver this packet on 7/12 ..2 days after deadline, the packet has sent date 7/9 and was marked next day AIR

My question is

) Am I screwed in this case and my H1 is gone. current H1 period expires 07/15
2) Or will USCIS will accept the respnse since it was posted before on 7/9

I am so mad at my lawyer but looks like H1 is gone and I have to pack my belongings ...

any advice please

It might be possible. Otherwise you can go for appeal if the approval goes south.

Hi,

My company gave ma a substitution labor and it is having a problem in term of degree.
My I-485 is also pending based on that I-140.

1. Is it possible to apply new labor and I-140 in premium processing and use that new I-140 for previously applied I-485?

2. In substitution labor that person was having 4 years of Bachelor degree and I have 3 years of bachelor degree, lawyer said there is a chance for get approval for I-140 based on substitution labor.


Please advice.

The cost varies, depending on the attorney fees and what advertising is done. Generally, it would probably cost $6000 - $12,000 for PERM. The employer must pay this, you cannot pay any of it.

Quetion 11 on the EAD form 765 asks:
Have you ever before applied for EAD from USCIS: Yes
"Which USCIS Office?" : ??????????????

how can i find out which USCIS office my prev (first) EAD application was sent to? I'm a July filer, when i applied for 485 and EAD i lived in NJ and my employer was in NJ as well. The receipt notice of EAD application came from California Service Center. and there is nothing on the EAD card about which office it was approved by. The 485/EAD/AP all was filed by my employer's attorney, they will not respond to my questions anymore. i don't think i have copy of the EAD application send last year july. Anybody got older version of I-765, older than "7/30/07" edition?

What to write? folks, please respond ASAP, i plan to file on Monday(6/30) morning.

Thanks in advance!

Folks please share your opinion/experience about "WHICH USCIS OFFICE" the last EAD application was filed to if you lived and worked in NJ. Thanks!

Anyone please advice if I need to get verified the PIMS check before my h1 visa interview at Kolkata, I have an appointment on 1st week of Jan2011.

Please share if anyone has any idea one this

Thanks

President Obama has proven how tough his administration can be with 287,000 people deported in the past 11 months, many of whom have U.S. citizen spouses and children. The American Dream is a Dark and Twisted Nightmare for Some Seeking Justice in Immigration Courts (http://ailaleadership.blogspot.com/2009/06/american-dream-is-dark-and-twisted.html) ICE detains people suspected of violating civil immigration laws, not criminal laws. In fiscal year 2009, Immigration and Customs Enforcement imprisoned 369,483 immigrant detainees - more than twice the number held in fiscal 1999. Immigrant Detention Doubles Since 1999 (Washington Independent) (http://www.detentionwatchnetwork.org/node/2463) ICE detains more than 32,000 aliens on an average day. DHS OIG Report: Medical Care for Detainees (http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=30855). Over 1,500 companies have been subjected to audits by the Department of Homeland Security to verify they completed the employer verification process within three days of hire. ICE CRACKS AUDIT WHIP (http://ailaleadership.blogspot.com/2009/07/ice-cracks-audit-whip.html) to restore accountability to U.S. Immigration enforcement now! Immigration Focus Is on the Employers (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/02/us/02immig.html?ref=global-home). The crises in family and employment immigration are chronic and pressing. The backlog in family and employment waiting lines is gravely dispiriting and undermines the long-held principle of family reunification. Immigrant Visa Numbers Hopelessly Encased In Amber (http://ailaleadership.blogspot.com/2009/06/immigrant-visa-numbers-hopelessly.html). The situation is deteriorating every day with more detentions, more denials, more delays, more deportations and more defective decisions. ICE has now reported 105 deaths in civil immigration custody since 2003. More Immigrant Deaths in US Detention CommonDreams.org (http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2009/08/20-7) Now is the time to turn the tide of the culture of �No� pervading our immigration system. We need to unite families and we need to keep industry vibrant and competitive. Immigration and American Innovation (http://ailaleadership.blogspot.com/2009/12/immigration-and-american-innovation.html) These shortsighted policies threaten our economic security and that of our children�s as well.AILA believes that a sensible comprehensive immigration reform package will have to include smart enforcement, a path to citizenship for the 12 million undocumented immigrants currently living and working in the U.S., elimination of family and employment-based visa backlogs, adequate visas to meet the needs of U.S. families and businesses, a new visa program for essential workers, and due process protections to restore the rule of law in our immigration adjudications and courts. AILA Welcomes Obama's Proactive Push for Comprehensive Immigration Reform This Year (http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=29372). Immigration reform must be a critical part of any effective economic stimulus program. For immigration reform to work, it must provide a path to legalization for undocumented persons. It must provide opportunity for bright graduates � and it must open doors for those who bring investments, and for those who establish companies providing jobs and making contributions to our nation�s economic growth.Representative Luis V. Gutierrez�s �marker bill� was a start, hopefully Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) will lead with an immigration bill the nation needs so urgently. Shortsighted enforcement only policies threaten our economic security and that of our children�s as well. The Obama administration has a clear understanding of the issues and they need to prove they are committed to fairness and due process. Its time to walk the walk - the time for action is now!

Why do we need a transit visa if we are just passing by the airport( I know UK has this rule). Can someone please share if we really need the transit visa. I am travelling on next week to Chennai via Frankfurt.

I don't think you are right for first question. AC21 can be invoked if you have applied 485 more than 180 days. Why EAD is related here. You can change the job after 180 days by transferring your H1 to new company. This is the information I have but it is better to verify it from a lawyer.

Can I join new company on my EAD after 180 days of I485 receipt date??

One quick question:
What is AC21 provision: is this a clause or any other application or ????

I just wanted to confirm that it is ok to travel on AP via Dubai from Emirates without H1B stamp. Has anyone done this recently and can you share your experience? Thanks.

The above suggested url is to NIH fellows committee, mainly consisting of postdocs. Most of the members should be working in Bethesda, and Frederick areas of Maryland and DC. It would help, for the Wpost article, to contact someone in this group and target some foreign researchers...as it falls right in the area.

FYI: many post graduate employees of NIH, immigrants / non-immgrants (J1) work as consultants to staffing companies contracted by NIH for the purpose.
They are not exempted from H1B cap and I believe cannot even process regular EB2 labor, but only EB2 NIW.


Immigration Voice would like to request members of its community stuck in the green card process that are scientists, researchers, professors and working in the area of national importance. Basically anything that will benefit this country in any way (economically, health related, sciences etc)

We would like make a strong case via media through such interviews and if we are successful in getting such interviews published, these media interviews would be used when presentations are made to lawmakers.

If you know of any such people please pass on this message.

Please respond with a brief detail about yourself and your contact information to jap219001 at yahoo.com and himanshu at immigrationvoice.org

I looked at converting to RIR but there seems to be no point in changing. There is no guarantee that an RIR application will be processed before an TR. Also, they are picking up applications in random order and not FIFO. So, I decided against the conversion.

PD: EB2 India- Sept 02

For any new comprehensive immigration reform, we must push for the Ability to be able to file for EAD after labor rather than having to wait for I-140 approval.

Do anybody know if any of the proposed bills have this provision? We must get together to push for this in the final bill as this doesn't harm anybody.

Thanks,
WaldenPond
