    hello all,

    My H1 extension was filed with regular processing and I got RFE too.
    My office has replied to RFE and as per tracking it is delivered today.

    any guess about following -

    Approx. after how many days USCIS update the status with "response" received?

    thanks.

    I am stuck out side of US for my name check for last 9 months when I applied for H-1. I have approved I 140. is there any way I can file my I 1485 and Advance parole or any thing to get back into US.

    Some one has told me that I can use consular processing but have no idea about that.

    Please help me and let me know what are possible options for me to return to US.

    H1B Transfer is not equal to H1B Renewal.
    H1B transfer: when you change your job, you transfer your H1B visa to the new employer.
    H1B Renewal: when you stay in the same company for 3 years, you need to file h1B renewal for the 2nd duration of 3 years.

    I am on H1B all these days and now my company wants me to mandatory move to EAD. (no option here). I also had my H1B approved for an other 3 years.
    1) Is it a good idea to move on EAD now.
    2)Its been close to 6 years on my H1 but I still have 8 months left on the initial 6 years. Can i use the left out period on H1B later.
    3)Now that I am on EAD, if i need to move my employer, can I invoke the AC21. if yes what should I do... do i just need to resign at the current place and join at the company b.
    4)Can my employer revoke the I140, considering that its already been more than 180days since approved.

    Note: I have my 485 pending and 140 approved in April 2008 and I am a July 2007 filer with a priority date of June 24th 2007.


    Your responses are highly appreciated.

    Just asking out of curiosity because when an illegal alien lives and possibly runs from cops from place to place for a period of time then they are qualifed for a green card and eventually citizenship.

    Why would they become nice to them after a certain period of time? It is illegal.

    because, you are a f*uking troll and you are here illegally.

    Dear IV members,

    As of 23 September 2006, we have received less than 15 questions in preparation for the next call. This does not meet the critical mass of 20-25 questions for justifying a conference call.

    Please follow process listed in the thread http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1267 for us to consider your questions.

    Also, please spread the word around.

    I am attaching a flyer for your convenience. You could request your friendly neighborhood ethnic grocer (Indian/Mexican/Chinese/Filipino and others) or video rental store, religious gathering or communal gathering place to carry these flyers in a prominent location. (You'll be surprised at the positive response you will get from such businesses- I had my reservations at first, but when I approached a temple sometime back, the temple officer appreciated the efforts made by us for such a "great cause"- his own words).

    NOTE: Flyer will be available after file upload/download problems are resolved.

    Hello All,

    I am an Indian citizen and a Permanent Resident of Canada. My Fiance is a US Citizen and we're planning to settle down soon. I also have a valid 10 year US B1/B2 Visa.

    I know that if one marries a US Citizen you can get US Green Card but I am not sure about the processes. I want to know what is the best procedure so that I can be in the US quickly and also have my green card.

    I know there is something known as Fiance visa but I'm not sure how it works.

    Can anyone please elaborate and guide me into this situation.

    Thanks in appreciation.

    Hi, I have my labor approved by Company A and I140 filed as soon as I got the labor. Before this I140 got approved I changed to Company B who filed for my labor and applied for I140 as soon as it got approved. My I140 with company B got approved and then the I140 with the old company A got approved 3 months later. Can I somehow get the old PD. Can some one who have been in similar situation or know some one in the similar situation answer this. I will be able to get a 2 year advance if this works out.

    Hi,

    I had visited US for 6months in 2005 on H1B visa and currently my H1B is expired( Expired in Jun 2007). Now, I am in US on H4 visa. Can anyone please let me know is it possible to renew expired H1B now? If so, what is the procedure for the same?

    Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    That would have to be in the form of COS., and I think that counts towards the cap, am not 100% though.

    Hi,

    Need some help here for my friend.

    He is an employee of company A and his first 3 yrs H1 is ended say Sep
    25, 2009. But he was already got a new H1 approved 1 month back from
    company B and that company had assured him to take him on board from
    Sep 26, 2009. So he and his wife had both approved H1/H4 from Company
    B. Now last minute the company B backed off from their agreement.

    So he went back to his company A and asked for H1 extension on Sept
    24, 2009 and for which they filed papers. But they didn't file papers
    for his wife's H4. Can she be on company B's approved H4? if not how
    many days she has to file for H4 linked to company A.

    Thanks

    Two University of Maryland management professors have studied the question and say no:The use of H-1B and other work visas to hire foreign information technology (IT) professionals in the United States has attracted significant controversy and policy debates. On one hand, hiring high-skill foreign IT professionals on work visas can be advantageous for U.S. firms and the overall economy. On the other hand, high-skill immigration can adversely impact the wages of foreign and American IT professionals. This study uses data on skills and compensation of more than 50,000 IT professionals in the United States over the period 2000�2005 to study...

    The U.S. Department of State (DOS) reports that no later than April 30, 2010, all non-immigrant visa applicants worldwide will be required to use web-based form DS-160. The DS-160 form will combine the previous forms DS-156 and DS-157 and 158. Since not all U.S. Embassy’s and U.S. Consulates have implemented form DS-160, all consular posts that are not currently utilizing the DS-160 Web-based form will eventually be instructed to implement the DS-160 between March 1, and April 30, 2010. To review the list of the 24 consular posts currently using the new form DS-160, please visit

    Did you get any RFE and responded back to USCIS?. Then your status will change like this.

    Hi all,

    I need some good advice and facts...

    My friend's H1-B extension is approved but the stamping (Mumbai consulate) might get denied due to a previous (dismissed) charge for driving with suspended license.

    What are the options after that? Can he re-apply for the visa stamping again using the same H1-B approval petition? Can we appeal the decision since it document clearly states that the fine was paid?

    Please advise.

    Since everything is current now, and happy as I am, it jumped quicker on me than i anticipated. I am in precarious position to apply I-485 right away or see it get retrogressed again.
    My dilemma is that I am unmarried and want to get married to someone in India, but also take my time selecting my mate.
    My question is if I apply for I-485 in july or august, how much time do I have to get married in India and still make my spouse eligible for green card with me.

    If you call USCIS 1800 number, and you ask the representative to raise a service request then they email the service center asking for details. Most of the time, personnel from service center will call back with the information that you have requested. If you learn there is a way you can email the service center, please post here.

    my question: I had applied to Vermont service center and later it was transferred to Texas Service center... So Should i put Vermont or Texas as the applied USCIS office?

    Also, The date of application is that the day i signed the application? or the received date that i see on the approved EAD?

    No. You can't port PD from spouse.
    You can port your own PD, if you have another EB3 approved.
    You can port the country of chargeability, if she was born in another (ROW) country.

    My priority date is in 10/2006 under EB3. My wife just start her GC process under EB2. Can my wife port my PD date to her GC application?

    Guys,

    My company in-house lawyer says that i don't have to file for H1-b right now because I was approved for H1-b before. I only use 3 month of H1-b time and changed the status to F1. Now, the lawyer advise me that we should use all of my OPT time and file for COS for previous H1-B in June starting date of January 2009, when my OPT expires.

    My question is
    1) Do you think it is a good ideas or just apply April 1st 2008?
    2) Does anybody else have/had a similar situation, do you guys mind sharing what you did?

    I will really appreciate all you guys.

    Everyone with difficult stories due to unfair immigration policies should make a youtube video and post a link here. Spoken stories will have much better effect.

    Thank you. This is a good idea. Please lead this effort. You can detail this out, answer questions and help if someone wants to know how to make one.
    Once we have lot of videos, they can be sent to media networks and reporters.

    His employer applied for H1b under premium processing in USA, the application was sent back as some information was missing under 221g. The employer has submitted the application again. Does anybody know how long will it take for the application to be processes as it was initially filed under premium processing?

Can he apply for STEM extention as his employer is e verified. so incase his h1b is not approved he can still continue to work under OPT. Is it possible to get the STEM extention while his H1b is still under processing? Need you urgent advise. Please help!!

    Thank you.

    I was wondering if this recession could turn out to be a silver lining for those of EB2-I,C who manage to survive it. Come to think of it, with all these job losses theres bound to be a downturn in hiring - resulting in lesser number of EB1 and EB2 ROW applications. This means more could overflow to EB2 I and eventually EB3 (I,C and ROW) survivors will benefit to.

    Although we also need to remember that the H1B quota will still get filled up on Apr 1 - recession or not. So don't really know how this would turn out.

    What are your opinions folks?

    Scenario:

    Working on H1. Wife is on H4. Waiting for our EADs.
    Planning to work for H1-GC sponsorer employer until (or I should say 6 months after) we get the GC.

    I am running a website and am planning to sell the advertising space?

    Q1: Can a H1 legally receive the money from website advertising on his/her website?

    Q2: Can a H1 register DBA?

    Q3: How about if H1 uses EAD, can then he register DBA and legally receive the money from website advertising? (I know once you use EAD your H1 becomes invalid).

    Q4: I know I can register DBA in wife's name when she receive EAD? Is that the only option I have?

    Please share your thoughts!

    In an attempt to dissuade the Republican minority from offering contentious procedural amendments tied to the hot-button issues such as immigration, Democratic leaders are discussing how to give their lawmakers a vote that would inoculate them against such pressure in the future.

    The discussion comes as a new House select committee prepares to investigate an Aug. 2 vote that Republican leaders allege the Democratic majority mishandled, resulting in the defeat of a GOP-authored procedural measure that would have amended the fiscal 2008 Agriculture spending bill by prohibiting illegal immigrants from accessing certain federally funded programs.

    House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said he has discussed the issue with House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), and leadership staff from both offices are working on a proposal.

    "I'm particularly concerned that these motions to recommit are tinged with a bit of ... let's just say this whole issue of immigration, it's too serious an issue for us to ... have it used as a wedge issue," Clyburn said, and later added: "We ought not be using this very serious issue in this way."

    Neither Clyburn nor Hoyer would provide details for any potential proposal, including whether the measure would be new law or a nonbinding resolution.

    "We're talking about a lot of options and I don't want to prejudge what options we're going to choose," Hoyer said.

    The Maryland lawmaker added that because the Republican amendment at the heart of the August incident would have restated existing law - a point the GOP refutes - Democrats could opt to ask the executive branch to enforce statutes already on the books.

    "We may just reiterate the law," Hoyer said. Democrats also have pre-emptively discussed expanding the new effort to other hot-button legislative areas targeted by the GOP.

    One Democratic lawmaker, who asked not to be identified, said the plan has been presented to some Members as a blanket measure that would prohibit the use of taxpayer-funded programs, such as food stamps, by immigrants in the country illegally.

    "The idea is to reject them out of hand because they'll be clearly redundant," the Democrat said. "They'll come up with some other ridiculous avenue to use, but hopefully this takes that off the table."

    But House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) spokesman Brian Kennedy immediately dismissed the Democrats' new plan, saying, "It's certainly a very clear indication of just how effective Republicans have been in using the motion to recommit to affect legislation."

    The procedural motion is one of the few options available to the minority party that allows it to offer legislative alternatives when a bill reaches the House floor, and it is used immediately before a final vote on legislation takes place.

    During the first half of the 110th Congress, the Republican minority has offered numerous motions - winning on 11 to date - that present difficult political decisions for Democrats, particularly the large number of freshman lawmakers in competitive districts.

    The National Republican Congressional Committee also targeted five Democratic freshmen in their districts Wednesday over the controversial August vote, more than six weeks after the incident. In press releases, the NRCC accused Democratic Reps. Jerry McNerney (Calif.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Zack Space (Ohio), Harry Mitchell (Ariz.) and Nick Lampson (Texas) of helping to steal "a vote in the dead of night," citing the lawmakers' decision to change their votes and oppose the Republican procedural measure after initially voting in favor of it.

    During the vote, three Florida GOP lawmakers, Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Lincoln Diaz-Balart and Mario Diaz-Balart, similarly switched their ballots to support the measure.

    House Democrats have thus far opted against issuing a blanket edict to rank-and-file Members to oppose the Republican motions, instead instructing lawmakers in April to object only to "killer" amendments that would shelve legislation.

    Despite the failure of nearly 20 Democrats to initially abide by those guidelines in early August - prompting some of the last-minute vote changes that contributed to the apparent disagreement on the House floor - Clyburn indicated that Democrats have no immediate plans to otherwise change their strategy on such motions.

    "I don't think anybody on our side confuses the issue - we know these are procedural issues," he added.

    But at his weekly press conference, Hoyer said he would speak with those Democrats who voted in favor of the Republican motion.

    "It presented a big problem. We are working on it. I am going to continue to work on it," Hoyer said, and later added: "In terms of the Members, the consequences are [that] I'm going to talk to them."

    In the meantime, the new House select committee established to investigate the disputed August vote is expected to soon hold its first meeting, following the appointment of its three Republican members Wednesday.

    Republican Reps. Mike Pence (Ind.), Steven LaTourette (Ohio) and Kenny Hulshof (Mo.) will work along with Democratic Reps. Bill Delahunt (Mass.), Artur Davis (Ala.) and Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (S.D.). No meeting date was set Wednesday, but the committee is required to file an interim report Sept. 30, with a final report due in mid-September 2008.

    "I'm confident we're going to be able to put our heads together and follow the facts, be judicious and take an impartial and thorough look at what happened that night," said Pence, the panel's ranking member.

    Davis, noting that members of the committee have worked across the aisle, said: "The House voted for the committee and the committee will diligently do its work."

    Has anyone been in a situation where they joined a new employer after having completed 180 days after 485-filing, and sent in AC-21 documentation through an attorney?

    If so, which attorney did you choose for the AC-21 paperwork?

    - The old attorney, that represented you and your ex-employer, and filed your labor, 140, 485, EAD, AP

    - or the attorney representing the new company

    - or a third attorney that you went and found on your own

    What do you think is the best way to go, if there is a best way to go?

    Your response is highly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Just a month after her appointment as the DHS official charged with overhauling the immigration detention system, Dora Schriro announced she is leaving the position to become the director of corrections for the City of New York. The New York Times reports that Schriro is leaving to care for a sick family member in New York. The Times' Nina Bernstein discussed the impact of the departure on reform efforts: Immigrant advocates who learned of her imminent departure from a reporter expressed dismay and concern that the ambitious overhaul announced by the Obama administration last month would be delayed, if not...

    I have a green card. I have moved to India on 20 Aug 2007. Before going to India I had applied for my re-entry permit (I-131). The re-entry permit is valid from 31 Mar 2008 till 31 Mar 2010.
    On 19 Aug 2009 I will be out of US for 2 years, so if I want to maintain my GC status before which date should I come to US and apply for re-entry permit, 20 Aug 2009 (the date of my US departure) or 31 Mar 2010 (expiration date of my travel document)?

    We like to share that the H1B cap is extremely close to being reached. The count as of December 15, 2009 is 64,200. This is 1300 cases more than the count from December 11th. This count is very close to the total cap of 65,000 which is actually somewhat reduced by numbers allocated under trade agreements. We continue to watch this very closely, and will provide updates until the FY 2010 cap is reached.

    We suggest to act quickly to avoid last minute embarrassment as H-1B Cap may soon be cease to exist.

    You can travel using AP only. No need to worry about visa stamp! But take your lawyers advice on this too!

    Hello,
    We have our 485 interview's next week @ the Baltimore Field Office. My PD is current for EB-2. My case is pretty straightforward so hopefully should not be a issue.
    Would appreciate any comments from folks in MD who have been interviewed @ the Fallon Federal Building in downtown.

    Particularly - can they approve our cases right there & then.? Will they stamp our passports for approval since PD is current for January 2011.? Can there be any issued with visa number not available, etc. ?

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Thanks!
