The National Foundation for American Policy has issued an important report analyzing the interplay between of trade laws and S.887 and S.2804, bills introduced by Senators Grassley and Sanders, which would impose an array of new restrictions on skilled workers. Language from these bills is also being considered for inclusion in the draft language for the comprehensive immigration reform bill. According to the report, provisions in the two bills that appear to violate US commitments under the General Agreement on Trade and Services include 1. changing H-1B wage rules to require employers to pay median average wages (S.887) 2. changing...

One of my friend's I-485 with priority date of Jan 2006 got approved yesterday. They have posted the documents to USCIS for his wife early this month(as per his attorney) to link to his I-485, but the check was not cashed yet and receipt notice was not issued for his wife.

Will there be any issue in this regard? What will be the options for him just in case if the attorney has not sent the documents to USCIS for his wife or the documents get rejected for some reason? Any help/advice in this regard is really appreciated. Thanks.

5 more Representatives co-sponsor for CIR ASAP of 2009 bringing it to 102 sponsors.

However, unless the Senate moves on Immigration .. nothing will happen in the House.

What happened to STEM bill? When is it coming to senate?

I got Duplicate I485, I765, I131 receipts. All the receipts has same A#. One set of I765 & I131 approved. For the second set , they send REF about Photos as I have not submitted any supporting documents ( Photos, I94 etc) for second set. I have submitted the second set as follow up since I didnt get receipts for the first set within 5 months.

Now I want to withdraw duplicate I485 set. Any problems ?

I did my MBA in one of the premium universities in USA.
I applied for H1-B in FY 2008 under master quota from a small consulting company.
I left US on 30th Sep 2008 as I didnt get an approved petition by that time.Hence I never worked on that approved H1-B petition
I got a approved petition. I went to New Delhi consulate for H1-B stamping. However I got a Blue 221 G slip. I never submitted any document as the consultant who applied for my visa , needs lots of time to process the documents. In the mean time I got another offer from one of the fortune 500 companies in USA. I am just exploring the possibility of H1-B transfer in this case. Ofcourse they will file a new H1-B application but would I be cap-exempt in this case?
Please help!!

Can we file PERM with a photocopy of Passport that is about to expire in 3 months.

Is it advisable to get passport renewed and then file it or it doesn't matter? My lawyer has asked me to submit copy of my passport along with other document that will go with the PERM application. Just wondering if my lawyer files PERM after expiration date (mentioned in the passport copy) has passed (due to delay in paperwork etc). Or what if lawyer files before expiration date but case is reviewed by DOL/USCIS after expiration date is passed?

Off course, I will apply for a renewal of passport, but just wondering what would happen in the above scenario?

Hello There,

I just got an RFE on my 485 as following.

Submit a letter of employment attesting to your current employment. This letter should be written on the company's official letterhead and cite the date you started working, whether the position is permanent and full-time, a description of the position, a description of the position that you currently hold for the company (if any), and the offered salary.


When I invoked my AC21, my new lawyer submitted G-28 but with out any details about my new employment. I hoping that this RFE is related to that. My only concern is that my old job title is programmer analyst and my new job title is Business Solutions Architect with similar (probably a little more) job duties.

Please share your experiences if any one has received similar RFEs.

Thanks

Hi,

I wanted to now how you guys are going about AP and I94 renewals.

If we use AP to come to US, then our I-94 is valid only for 1 year i.e till AP expires.. So, if we apply for AP renewal, what will happen to I-94? Do we need to renew it? If yes, what is the procedure?

And, If we have a valid H4 visa for 2 more years but started working on EAD, when we enter into US, do we need to use AP for sure or can use H4 as it is still valid? If we use H4, will our EAD become invalid?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Srikanth

I plan to tweet during my 3 days at DC during Advocacy Days, so I figured it will be easy if we have a hashtag for twitter.

I was thinking #IV11

Anyone else planning to tweet during the event (between meetings)?

British-born actor/singer/writer John Keston is a world class marathon runner who regularly break records. That the 85 year old began breaking records more than 30 years ago at the age of 55 is nothing short of astonishing. The New York Times recently reported on Keston's amazing career and included some of his finishing times. Keston broke four hours in the Twin Cities Marathon when he was 71 and finished a half marathon in 1:39:25 when he was 80. I've done five marathons in my life and the time Keston hit in the Twin Cities race is about what I did...

I received a RFE of my I485, and was asked to declare my self-employment since Dec,31, 2006. I have been engaged in Market America Direct Sell business part-time since August 26, 2005, and have claimed buinsess lost in my tax return since 2005. In 2006, I got a 1099 form that showed $600 income from Market America. After that I didn't have any income from the business.

My question is if I am self-employment. If so, do you have any way to resolve this issue?

My last entry into USA is 07/05/2008, but the I-94 was not replaced at Niagara Falls port. The last entry date on my passport is still Dec, 31, 2006.

My EAD start date is 7/31/2008.

I am looking for an Attorney who is an expert at this case to reply my RFE and resolve my pronblem.

Thanks

We filed two different I485s. One me as Primary, for which I have not received any receipt which reached on July 17th. Another from my husbands employer, me as beneficiary which reached on Aug 13th. We got receipt and FP Notice for one which was applied through my husband's employer. Confusion is that in my receipt notice the Alien Number is different from what I received on my I140 Approval Notice. Is it of any concern? Finally will my husband be able to get EAD from my application?

Appreciate any views or opinions!

Thanks A Lot!

Labor category has little to do with AC21. Your responsibilties should be 'similar', which is kind of a vague term, which means USCIS would generally not mess with anything that has enough of the same words used in description.

My friend John Lamb is an in house corporate lawyer by day and an immigration reform activist in his spare time. Maybe the fact that he's outside the immigration law world gives him some room for thinking outside the box since he's often coming up with creative approaches to changing immigration law. A few months back I wrote about his idea for a "Friends Visa." The idea was largely incorporated in to a bill proposed in Utah recently. Now John has another idea. He would create a program that would allow every person who voluntarily self-deports and stays out of...
