Marshall Fitz, advocacy director at the American Immigration Lawyers Association's annual meeting in Las Vegas that Democrats could see passing immigration reform as a chance to lock down the allegiance of the surging Hispanic electorate in the coming years. And Republicans who see the dangers of permanently losing millions of voters are more likely to get on board.

I have 2 clarifications

a)Anyone has a clue on what an Employment Development department letter means? Is this the same as the 45 day acknowledgement letter from DOL?

b) In the absence of an 45 day acknowledgment letter from DOL, how else can we get a confirmation that our case has been filed with DOL. As per our company Attorney DOL is not issuing the 45 day letter. Can I ask for a screen shot. I saw some threads on that.. How do I ask for a screen shot of my case ? Any specific procedure? What is the response time for receving the screen shot? Do you need to specify a reason for asking screen shot?

Anyone who has done this ,can you please help

Hi Guys-

I am on H1B, working in US. I got my status changed from F1 to H1B last yr and never got it stamped ever since. I am going to get married next month in India and would require a visa stamp on my passport. I believe it is a straight forward process but would appreciate your experiences and suggestions for this.

1. I am planning to take visa appointments both for myself and my future wife togther at the Delhi consulate (ofcourse by paying separate fee). Can I do that here in US for both of us?

2. Once I get an appointment, we both should appear togther for the interview (for my H1B and her H4) . Right?

3. The forms 156 and 157 are required to be filled during the interview but not while taking appointments. Is it right?

3. I will take all my docs. along with our marriage certificate, and pictures from wedding. Do I need something extra to that?

Please suggest me any other important thing which I should be aware of in this process.

Thanks much!:)

It is a one way street once that check is cashed. No refunds from USCIS. If the application gets returned from the mailroom for some mistake like missing signature, you will get your check submitted back.

My H1 is valid untill Aug 2010 and AP is pending. My spouse is on EAD and her AP approved. We plan to return back to US from a trip overseas in few weeks from now. Is there any issue if I use my H1 and spouse uses her AP. My AP is pending over 3 months now.

My H1 LCA has two work locations. Primary being NJ and PA secondary. NJ is the port of re-entry. I have letter from my company, which is based out of NJ and a client letter based in PA to support my continual services.

Help appreciated.

I am working for company A on H1 which is valid until November 2010. I would like to work for Company B on EAD, since company B would not do H1
To be on the safer side, I would to like have another H1 from company C, so that if anything happens with I-485, I can join company C on the H1.
Is this possible? Do I have to travel out of country in order to work for company C on H1?

In some of the forums I saw that, we can go to H1 from EAD as long as our H1B is unexpired. Pls let me know what you know about this.
Thanks

Hi,

What is the best way to save one from going out of status on E-3 visa?Can a E-3 Visa holder or E-3D visa holder may apply and successfully get EB-3 or EB-2 green card?Can E-3 visa holder may work for two employers (already USCIS approved extension petition from both) simultaneously (without filling any new I-129 or extension request)?

The place of birth for E-3 Visa holder is Pakistan.

Please suggest and advise?

Thanks,
Paulina

If your 140 is approved the chances of 485 denial are quite remote. however most attorneys recommend that you try to stay on H1 as much as possible

One of the options the President has had on the table - one every President has - is using an administrative option to provide temporary legal status and work authorization to those in the country illegally. Rumors have been spreading within the community of antis around the country and they've gotten a handful of hardcore anti-immigrant members of Congress to send a letter warning the President to drop the idea (if indeed it was really being considered. How could President Obama do what the paralyzed Congress can't? Two options come to mind. He could look at a blanket policy using...

Hi,

We filed a dependent I-485 for my wife while she is on a F1 status. She has a EAD card (but my I-140 is pending). My understanding is that once she finishes school, she will not be able to get an OPT. Does it mean that she can accept employment using the EAD even though the I-140 is not approved? In case my I-140 is denied, will she lose her status and would have to leave the country?

Thanks.

USCIS kept on updating the total number of cases received for H-1B for FY 2009-10. However, the recent USCIS H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) cap count indicates decline in number of cases than what had been previously reported. The updated count reports the receipt of 44,400 �Regular� cap cases, by June 12, 2009 which is lesser than the prior count of 47,700, given as of May 22, 2009. There is no explanation too from USCIS for this decline in trend. Thus, this reduced number may reflect either withdrawals by employers, denials by the USCIS, duplicate filings, or an error in the prior cap counts.

As of this writing, both the Advanced Degree and Regular caps remain open. We will continue to provide updated H-1B cap count information.

Hi all,

I am in a confusing situation would really appreciate some suggestions.

I am the primary applicant and my spouse is the beneficiary for the 485 applications that were sent on July 07. I have received a RFE on my 140. My PD is 12/2004 EB3-India.

My spouse company may be willing to apply for her under EB1C. I have a few questions:

1. Can she apply for 140/485 simultaneously? (I heard concurrent applications are not possible)
2. Can the existing 485s be jeopardized by the new 485s?
3. Do we need to go in for FP and do our Medicals again if we apply for 485s again or are they going to reuse what we have already sent?
4. Do we need to withdraw the existing 485s at some point of time
5. Is this worth the hassel of complicating the applications?

Please help!

Hello All,

I have my EAD from Employer A. I have accepted fulltime offer from Employer B. I do not wish to file AC21 but would like to send G28 form to USCIS to change the representation so that I could recieve any queries from USCIS. My question is -
1. Would it be advisable to pick a attorney and ask him to file G28 so he could get any communications from USCIS.
OR
2. Would it be ok if I file G28 so I could get any communications from USCIS. Later, in case When I need to respond may be I could hire an attorney to respond to the query.
3. Also does not making address change in AR 11 automatically make the address change on all my cases like 485,EAD,AP etc? I am asking this because only AP and EAD are sent to me with address change but last query on 485 went to my attorney's address.

Also appreciate any of your advice to handle my case effectively after changing my employer.

Thanks

ABC News has an interesting piece that discusses the birth tourism controversy and quotes a statistic that actually comes from Lindsey Graham's office. According to the National Center of Health Statistics, just 7,760 mothers report that they live outside the US of more than 4,000,000 births each year. Keep in mind that some of these mothers are actually US citizens who reside abroad but want to have their children in the US. So we're really talking about less than .2% of all births as being this huge problem that suddenly justifies overturning the 14th Amendment.
