LA OPINION (Editorial): The time is now!



|2010-11-16 | La Opini�n

The time is now! - La Opini�n - noticias locales, nacionales e internacionales desde Los �ngeles - impre.com (http://www.impre.com/laopinion/opinion/2010/11/16/the-time-is-now-222571-1.html#commentsBlock)



Democrats return back to a lame-duck Congressional session in which they have a majority in both chambers. This is the moment to make the effort to pass the DREAM Act and open up the path for hundreds of thousands of young people to enter the university or serve in the Armed Forces.



Major legislation on the agenda between now and the end of the year includes making permanent the Bush-era tax cuts, passing the fiscal year 2011 spending bill or at least passing a stopgap measure to continue to fund the government, extending unemployment benefits, and addressing cuts in Medicare payments to doctors.



There are many important issues on the floor and the position that will be taken by the Republicans is still unclear given they will have control of the House of Representatives in two months.



Despite this, we believe the DREAM Act must be added to the mix. In these past two years of Democratic control, the concerted push for comprehensive immigration reform never materialized. At a minimum, during these last weeks of legislative control, they should seek passage of legislation that would allow undocumented high school graduates � who have grown up in the U.S. � to continue their studies or to join the military.



Similar efforts a few months back failed because critics unjustly denounced the bill as an "amnesty," as if these young people were responsible for having been brought to the U.S. by their parents. Other critics charged that the bill would prove to be a magnet for immigrant parents to bring young children here. Such criticism ignores the real reasons for immigration.



This legislative session is filled with dozens of legislators who have either lost their reelection or are planning to retire. They have nothing to lose by doing the right thing and voting for a bill that will help the economy in the short and long term by preparing our country�s future labor force. And, at the same time, they will be strengthening the military.



Political savvy and determination will be needed to pass this legislation. Opportunities exist to attach it to other bills if it appears that it cannot be approved on its own. With so much at stake , the time to act is now!

Hi,

Eb2 Priority date (priority date-june2004) , I-140 approved
Eb3 priorty date (substituted labor with priorit date as feb2002) applied for I-140 on
1st jun 2007 .waiting for i-140 approval.


Should I file for i-485 on Eb2 where I-140 is already approved or use Eb3 where I-140 is pending but priorty date feb2002 ????????????

Attorneys and members,
please suggest me,i have only 1day left for decision,

vaishu

This is from USCIS point of view. So they include all categories of I485 -- most will probably be family based. The I140 is exclusive to EB class. Of course USCIS does not publish stats that we would find really useful, even their process dates are works of fiction (or at least not totally accurate).

Isnt that stupid.. I'm baffled at their brilliance? why cant they issue a reciept notice there it self.. :eek:

Back in 1982, when I left the INS to enter private practice, the number of H-1 visas was unlimited. All professionals, including registered nurses, were eligible for H-1 visas. Also, there was no maximum duration for H-1s. U.S. employers could petition for H-1 workers all year long, yet the program did not generate the amount of controversy that it does today. It was a market-based system which allowed U.S. employers to fill jobs in a global economy, plain and simple. The Immigration Act of 1990 ushered in the present era of government control of �H-1B� temporary visas. For the first...

Thanks a lot Mr.Shusterman. We need more people like you to make our voice heard.

I've heard about AC21. What is AC360 - some new USCIS provision ?

My H1 expired and the extension is in process. But they did not file for H4 extension. I was told by my employer that she can get a visa stamp by presenting my H1 paper at the consulate. Is this true ? If so, what is the significance of H4 approval notice ?

Currently there are a lot of RFE's and renewal denials when they try to renew onsite. So they have been asked to go back to get renewed and once its successful, they come back. They are just being cautious.

Hello everyone, i have a good news to share that i just checked my case and it shows "Card production ordered". I guess it means my 485 has been approved.

Thanks a lot for everyone here and you guys are very helpful and ofcourse this web site as well. Great and good luck to everyone!

Well, i do have a question regarding my wife 485 case which i just filed this month (July 1st) as my case is current from July 1st. I filed my 485 before i got married, and now it is time and i filed on July 1st, and not received any receipt number from USCIS for my 485 case.

As per my lawyer, there is no worries as we filed on time, and your case is approved just today, means, they should process your wife case when time comes. May be another 4 or 6 months. As long as her case is processed without any issue, then it is fine.

I would like to hear from you guys that if anyone has got this kind of case and any inputs from you guys would be really appreciated.

Thanks once again for all you guys help, and inputs. Great!

Your lawyer is right. I was in the same situation. For employement based GCs you can file dependents case upto 180 days from approval. Check law 245(K)

I e-filed EAD renewal. On the I-797 Notice of Action that they mailed me, the "Priority Date" field is blank. The same is true for my last EAD notice of action as well which I did not check last time. Is it normally blank?

Is anybody else in the same boat?

what amount lawyer is asking?

Hi,
I am trying to renew my EAD/AP myself and wanted to check if I will be getting the EAD card and AP documents by mail to my address.

I am avoiding the lawyer, as he's charging unreasonable amount.

Question:
When self-filing, would I be getting the EAD/AP documents at my home address???

Thanks.

From what I read in the article they are talking about chaging 'the place of incorporation' from Bermuda to Ireland to avoid paying higher taxes through the proposed tax legislation ...dosent't talk about relocating all operations to Ireland

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124338175183056465.html

Accenture is one of the big US consulting companies. They are moving to Ireland , as Mr President is trying to making Tax laws to stop outsourcing.

Looks like IBM would be the next to follow.

Thank you very much

I got a soft luds on my previous H1B which was approbed in 2007 Feb and a Case Status Information email for I-140 which was approved in Dec - 2006.

First, if at all possible, your employer should appeal the denial of the I-140. There have been a series of AAO cases on the issue of educational equivalency, and it may be possible to have the denial reversed on appeal. Even if the appeal is eventually denied, your eligibility for one year H-1 extensions after 6 years will be preserved as long as the appeal is pending.

At the same time, you should begin a new PERM application immediately to insure that it is successfully filed before August. You and your employer should consult with and retain an immigration attorney
who has expertise in structuring PERM applications in situations such as yours. If you are unsure whether to rely on the advice of the company's new attorney, you should consider an extended consultation with an attorney in whom you have confidence. If that attorney does not agree with the course of action recommended by the company's attorney, you could request a detailed opinion letter to help guide your company and its lawyer in structuring your case successfully.

US did not invest in ou upbringing or education.
All those were paid by India (or other countries), we led unproductive part of our lives in India (or other countries)and contribute to US economy.
Free trained labor, in fact if you count spouse ->Buy one get one free.

I have got federal loan under this same situation. Wondering why you need a private loan ?

That's great news - IV's efforts are paying off now. Not sure if they give two years for all EAD's applications (either renewal or new) that are currently pending. Now I wish my application will get a bit delayed in processing :)

Anyway its a good news that they are starting it from June end.

Well i missed the boat atleast for this yr..:(
