Hey m0r,
Yeah that is a great idea. I hope to have some Swift 3D V3 tutorials out soon that cover a lot of stuff such as movement. Maybe a Swift 3D Open Source section; I won't mind to have that placed on the site :)

Cheers!

As we watch the earthquake destruction in Haiti with horror, one group of individuals that will likely start to get attention is the population of Haitians currently in the US and who are obviously not going to be able to safely return home anytime soon. US immigration law actually has a system to handle precisely this situation. It's called Temporary Protected Status and it is available to individuals who are from country suffering armed conflicts, disasters, or other extraordinary conditions. The Secretary of Homeland Security is empowered to determine which countries are on the TPS list. People in TPS status...

While we look at this from an immigration and DHS rule making - in reality, there is large scale devastation and catastropic loss of life.

Lets pray for the victims and lets all contribute in all possible ways to help the people of Haiti.

I would like to bring my grandma but worried about her health insurance.

Respected Madam/Sir,

I have an issue with my H1B application. Please help me.

I attended my H1B interview at Mumbai Consulate on 02nd Dec 2010. At that time Officer told me that you are qualified for H1B Visa but company is not good for you. Officer convinced me to withdraw the petition.
Then they gave me one form and asked me to sign on it and write you are withdrawing the petition.

Next day I called my sponsor and told everything. But sponsor told me that he is ready to provide all the docs and few applications already approve at consulate Hyderabad.

On 20th Dec 2010, I took new appointment and went for interview. At the time of interview I told that "I withdrawn my application as per suggestions given by Visa Officer, But my sponsor had a debate with me and put forth the point that they are not violating any norms and laws, and thereby ready to provide all sorts of doc.Please reconsider my application as they offered me very challenging role".
Then Officer asked few docs about my sponsor and asked me to come directly to consulate with passport and gave me 221 G blue form.

On 5th Jan 2010, I went with my docs and Visa Officer granted me VISA and now I got the passport with VISA.

But, on 4th Jan 2010, just before one day, I got a below mail from Consulate Mumbai.

Dear Sir,
Based on the interviews and documents submitted at U.S. Consulate General Mumbai, we have returned your petition to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for review and possible revocation. If a consular officer receives information during the interview process that was not available to the adjudicating immigration officer at the time of petition approval and that shows the beneficiary of a petition is not entitled to the accorded status, then the petition must be returned to USCIS for re-examination. Due to this requirement, consular officers returned your petition and additional supporting documents to the Kentucky Consular Center.
You may address further inquiries on this petition to the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.


Now I am US, and Officers didnt asked anything at port of entry.

But in USCIS website, the petition status is showing that they recieved my petition from state department and they are reviewing it.

Can I get the SSN and Am I legal to stay in US. What should I do. Please let me.

Thanks in advance

How long is the AP valid? And does the clock start ticking from the date of AP application or from the date of AP approval?

My H1-B is expiring in December 2007. I have approved I-140 now and am hoping to get 3 year H1-B extension based on my approved I-140. Do you think I can get 3 year extension even if the visa numbers for filing AOS is current? Does AC21 apply to this case? Please suggest.


yes you can extend h1b with out any problems

My cousin has I-20's from Universities A and B.he got F1 Visa with University A's I-20.
He is in India and he wants to go to University B.

Could anybody tell if he can directly go to University B and complete the transfer process from there? or does he need to go to University A, complete the transfer process and then go to University B?

does it create any problems at Port of Entry ?


PS: I have not started GC process yet. So, I didn't update my profile.

Hello,

There are many approved evaluation services that would provide you with certification of your MSc as compared to US programs like World Education Services - International Education Intelligence (http://www.wes.org)

Please be aware about rip-offs on the web who may not be the approved agents...good luck!

GREEEEEAAAT NEWS. THESE ABUSERS NEEED TO BE BROUGHT INTO LIGHT. However, I feel they should increase the cap based on marked requirement. If one qualified person is recruited properly (following required advt), has the proper qualifications, and is proposed to be paid adequately----MY friends in senate and wherever--WHY SHOULD THERE BE A CAP RESTRICTING SUCH A WORKER???? Take away the cap completely and scruitinize the applications / employers more stringently. This stupid cap gives the USCIS / govt a false sence of security that everybody coming through is qualified and good. Once the cap goes, each application would be scruitinized better.

It Depends on the type of security clearance. What is the type of clearance you applied for in your Dept and what agency do you work for and what type of work?

If you are in a very sensitive position which requires a secret clearance, even a GC will not alleviate the issue. Only a citizen can obtain such clearances (classified info.). On the other side, if it is background check like SF85P or NACI or SF86, normally you will be able to obtain one regardless of your immigration status. Worst case, for a clearance, you can try to obtain a Special Waiver from your Dept. I know this since I contracted for the Federal Govt on H1 got 10 yrs.

Regards

Thanks. I thought so too.
Since your attorney is not filing (No G28 is filed when you DIY). I did this and I got approval for both EAD/AP in a month's time.

The USCIS will honor the procedure to register births or do a name change in the home country, i suggest you submit the documents that you referred to and also get a local attorney to attest to the local law in such matters citing the proper section of the law. Name change before the Court should be sufficient but better to get this verified.

As far as I know priority date can ony be transfered when the I-140 is approved. Go ahead and get both I-140 approved and use the earlier date towards the new one at the time of filing of I-485.

guyfrommsg,

i have filed in the form / submitted the application for joining the google GA group. please check.

I'm not a Guru in Immigration Matters...still from my experience USCIS is pretty random in some cases with online statuses.
I think I just told you what you know already, but reminding you that you are not alone.
Any updates gurus?

No problem Pappu

Guys - this is a reminder. I have had exactly ZERO responses to this conference call asking for the call info so far. :confused:

Hello experts,
Here is a situation of my friend .
1.He lost his and his wife's passport alongwith the receipt notices and FP notice.The current visa which has expired and I-94 is also lost.
2.The lost passport includes the old passport with old visa in it.

Can you please throw some light as to what are his options.

Thanks & Regards

Did he filed a police complaint? If not, ask him to file a police complaint and then apply for a duplicate passport with a copy of old passport along with the copy of police complaint.

After getting the duplicate passport, (if he goes to his respective embassy, I think he may be able to get the duplicate in a day) ask him to call USCIS and talk to immigration officer. He also may need to contact his attorney who will provide a plan to obtain duplicate copies.

Thanks

Just go to online address change and do it for all your petitions.

On another note, is it true that people are getting RFEs when they do address change? Has anyone faced this?

What I have heard is that if your new address is 200+ miles away from the old address, you are most certainly going to get a EVL RFE. One of my friends' recently changed his address within the same city and never got RFE.

I would say best bet would be Matamoros. Pls check out this website
