    Hi,

    When did you apply the card. Was it NSC or TSC and did you e-file.

    Thanks.

    They are just mistaking his EAD card for PR card. My EAD was approved on April 27 and the status says
    "Card production ordered/Oath Document sent".

    It is just misleadig for a lot of people they can misread it as the PR card.

    Hi,
    I've been in US for over a year on my L1b Visa. Last year i applied for my H1B visa and got through in the loottery. My Visa became effective Oct08. I still have net left my L1 company and nor have got my H1B Visa stamped. Its been 6 months since the VISA is effective. What should I do now, Im not getting jobs outside and also the L1 company is more secure from the job perspective. Should I just revoke my H1B or is it ok to live in the US like this?

    Thanks

    Leave US asap and re-enter using L1 visa stamp to get back into L1 status.

    Thanks dummgelauft

    My priority date is not current yet. There is a chance that my priority date will not be current even by the time my TN visa expires. So, that was the main problem I had. I know there is no way I can renew my TN visa ( since I-140 shows intent to immigrate). But, a HUGE misunderstanding I had, which you clarified for me, is that the 6 years
    H1B restriction will not apply on me once I have approved I-140. So, if my priority date is current before my TN expires, I will get my EAD. If my priority date is not current by the time my TN expires, I will have the option of getting H1B and continue to work until I adjust my status.

    What a relief !!!

    Thank you so much again !!!!

    Theo

    Oh... the H1b worker who maintains the site got frustrated that his gc is going nowhere and went back to his home country.

    DOS tried to update the system reflecting a big jump in the visa dates for May. The system was unused to any changes lately - leave aside such large forward movements - and as a result it crashed.

    DOS managed to recover the system by replacing all date fields with character fields. The rumor is that the value for all those character fields is now "C", whatever that means.

    I received my FP notice. My Lawyer also received my FP notice which he mailed it to me. Now I have two copies. Which copy should I carry for my FP appointment? Does it matter?

    TIA

    Doesnt matter which copy you bring. Attend the FP that is important. They will stamp your notice and sign it. Keep that copy for your records

    We have a wealth of information from A to Z on US Immigration, why dont we ourselves write articles and editorials and get them published in the News Papers, Journals, etc?

    Why are we waiting for some one to come to us and take information to write articles on us. Does Newspapers check the background of authors to verify if they are citizens/non-citizens/green card holders/ H1B's. What all matters to them is quality and authenticity of the articles.

    Do you folks think this a good option to pursue?

    Lets put it to work.

    I have an approved EB3 140 (PD Aug 2004) and have filed my 485 using it with Employer A.
    With Employer B, I have an approved EB2 140, but the priority date is in 2007.
    What is the process of porting the EB3 date to the EB2 140 and to change the 485 to the EB2 queue? Do I need to refile the 485 application?

    One of my friend was successful porting his May 2004 priority dated EB3 to EB2. The entire porting process took three months for him to obtain Perm based LC and I-140 approvals.

    USCIS will give you 2 years EAD if there is no visa available for you i.e. if your PD is currently retrogressed, although we got 2 years EAD in August 08 when our PD was current, which gave me a fair enough reason to believe the "no visa left for EB2 I/C" news that was floating around then :)


    What conditions to be met for getting 2 years renewal? Anyone...
    I am about to send my package to lawyer for AP/EAD renewal, URGENT!

    Yeh you guys are right, almost everyone is doing it. Don't know whats up with her.....

    If I was you, would give a second thought or have a plan B in place to switch to better attorney who at least knows some basic not like your current lawyer....(ask your lawyer to take some crash course & refresh her memory!!!)

    not to scare you but a friendly advise you many want to re-think about this attorney who filed your 140/485 and don't know what type of damage she must have already done with your application and having good attorney will at least helpful if something goes wrong (for god's NOTHING wrong should happen to you or anyone in this whole GC process). this GC journey it self is a toucher!!

    USCIS has clearly mentioned that UI benefits are not considered a public charge.
    There are several threads in IV also on this topic.

    eb3retro clearly mentioned that he/she is not interested in the 'debate of whether UB can be claimed while in AOS state', but still many without even checking anything anywhere just going on doubting, worrying, suggesting nonsense, etc.
    [even though eb3retro knows that getting ui benefits is not a problem for gc application, it is surprising that s/he doesn't know where to find better information on ui benefits! atleast IV is not the best place to look for it! when people lose their job, are they not supposed to get these information by mail from the employer? atleast that is the law in most states.]


    Anyway many people ask even things like what is the fee for this/that application, etc? And people even argue on that when anybody can get these information very clearly from USCIS website. It looks like many people don't even read basic instructions.

    I am also in the same boat.

    I have an earlier approved I-140 from my previous company (PD : 30 Nov 2005). In addition, I also have an approved I-140 from my current company (PD: 27 March 2007). However, my latest I-140 still shows the priority
    date of 27 March, 2007. As My old priority date is current, my attorney sent a letter to TSC requesting for recapture of my previous priority date. But, TSC sent a reply back saying that we should contact National
    Service Center. HUG..!!

    Did any one in the similar situation? How did you resolve?


    Appreciate your help.

    HR 5882 Counterpart Introduced in Senate by Hon. MENENDEZ

    Link: http://menendez.senate.gov/newsroom/record.cfm?id=301666&


    Press Release of Senator Menendez
    SENATOR MENENDEZ INTRODUCES BILL TO EXTEND E-VERIFY PROGRAM, INCREASE VISA EFFICIENCY AND STRENGTHEN FAMILIES

    E-verify portion of bill mirrors version passed overwhelmingly passed by House this evening

    Friday, August 1, 2008



    WASHINGTON� U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) yesterday evening introduced legislation to renew the electronic system for employers to check the documentation of prospective employees, and to ensure that unused work or family-based visas are utilized. The Visa Efficiency and E-Verify Extension Act of 2008 will help American businesses and will protect family unity by reauthorizing the E-Verify program, recapturing unused or unclaimed employment-based visas and family-sponsored visas from fiscal years 1992 through 2007 and allowing unused family and employment-based visas in future years to automatically �roll over� to the next fiscal year. The E-Verify portion of the legislation mirrors E-Verify legislation passed this evening in the House of Representatives by a 407-2 vote.

    Senators Patty Murray (D-WA), Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Maria Cantwell (WA) joined Senator Menendez as co-sponsors of the bill. The proposed legislation would shorten the long lines of families and employees currently waiting to receive green cards.

    �Verifying that workers have their proper documentation is certainly important, and this bill ensures we are doing that while being fair to families who have waited in line for years and have paid their visa fees to reunite with their loved ones,� said Sen. Menendez. �We must couple the E-verify effort, which is good for business, with policy that is also good for families � it fits with our American value system and is a step towards fixing our broken immigration system.�

    Summary of The Visa Efficiency and E-Verify Extension Act of 2008:

    Recapture of Unused Visas: This bill recaptures unused or unclaimed employment-based visas and family-sponsored visas from fiscal years 1992 through 2007 and allows unused family and employment-based visas in future years to automatically �roll over� to the next fiscal year.

    Extension of the Conrad State 30 Program: The bill extends the Conrad State 30 program for 5 years to June 1, 2013. The Conrad State 30 program was designed to provide each of the fifty U.S. states with 30 waivers for J-1 physicians each fiscal year.

    Extension of Religious Worker Program: The bill requires DHS to issue final regulations to eliminate or reduce fraud related to the granting of special immigrant status for individuals working in a religious vocation or occupation. The bill extends the special immigrant non-minister religious worker program to October 1, 2011. Under this bill, the DHS Inspector General shall submit on the effectiveness of the regulations to reduce fraud by 2010.

    Reauthorization of E-verify: This bill also reauthorizes the Department of Homeland Security�s (DHS) Basic Pilot electronic employment eligibility verification program, also known as �E-Verify.� This legislation provides for a 5-year extension of this program for the electronic employment verification of employees.

    Protection of Social Security Administration Programs: This legislation requires DHS to provide timely and appropriate payments to the Social Security Administration so that E-verify does not interfere with SSA�s ability to serve seniors, people with disabilities, and survivors.

    Government Accountability Office (GAO) Study of Basic Pilot Confirmation System: This bill requires the GAO to report to Congress on the causes of erroneous tentative nonconfirmations, how they are remedied and the effect they have on individuals, employers and federal agencies. It also requires the GAO to examine the experiences of small businesses, non-profits and municipalities with using Basic Pilot.

    Folks in Alipac are enjoying this news - they say such a thing is good for the country because Indians and Chinese won't come here anymore

    They seem to be a bunch of chaotic confused folks and don't know what they want.
