Everybody wants to do something about Legal immigration, but the fact is when unemployment in The USA is still 9.6 %, No immigration bill will pass whatsoever. there is chance on Lame duck session. Unless there is some Political gimmick ...

Ultimately, this bill will go from Senate to Conference Committee and the house members may not approve these provisions. So, we do not really know what will happen.

My cousin has I-20's from Universities A and B.he got F1 Visa with University A's I-20.
He is in India and he wants to go to University B.
Could anybody tell if he can directly go to University B and complete the transfer process from there? or does he need to go to University A, complete the transfer process and then go to University B?
does it create any problems at Port of Entry ?
PS: I have not started GC process yet. So, I didn't update my profile.
He could have done that few years go but not now. The rules have changed they have a system called SEVIS(post 9/11) and he has to go to the same university for which he has got the stamping and once he joins them and completes a semester or two he can transfer to the new school by following the procedure.
- cheers

I suggest to take the story to your local and national press... If you can afford a lawyer then consult her about possible compensation from INS for metal anguish ...
But just remember that the immigration system in this country is designed to induce insanity in normal people - that it even drove someone like John Lennon to attempt suicide .... and that he found mental peace only by going to Japan himself followed by frequent trips to India to visit Maharishi Mahesh Yogi......

Is she now on "AOS" status or out-of-status?
"AOS applicant". So she is NOT out of status.
Is she has to file H4 as my friend's dependent?
Not necessary.
Ask both of them to have their EAD ready, if they don't have them yet.
Guru's pl help..
One of friends 485(primary) was pending and his wife's 485(derivative) also pending.
Both of them are on H1(different employers) and they both lay-off around the same time about 4 months ago. My friends employer has been running paychecks for him but his wife's employer canceled her H1.
Is she now on "AOS" status or out-of-status?
Is she has to file H4 as my friend's dependent?
Thanks in advance..

Just wondering if anybody is giving up hopes of GC and switching from H1B to E3D (Dependent of Australian spouse) to take advantage of 2-yr renewable EADs...? How long does it take to get the initial EAD...Continue working without pay (or is there a workaround) while waiting for EAD?....any problems getting visa stamped with a 'yes' for past immigrant petition filed...
7yrs in this country...EB2 PD of 10/07 due to job changes..no 140 yet, no 485...6yrs in same job? no promotions? with 3yr extensions...frustration beyond words...E3D seems to a ray of hope but no idea of complications involved.

Hi,
My H1 B is valid until 2010 (mar). But considering my entry/exit (I94) dates - I will be completing my 5 years in next 2 months.
My query:
1. Do I have time until 2009 (mar) for filing the Labor?
2. Can I file GC in the 6th year of H1 B, if yes what are the consequences?
Thanks in advance
Yes you ahve time. But don't wait hurry up, we need not get surprised if they change rules even....
Any way for March 2009 you have only 6 months you have so much work to do like paper adds, etc... so... All the best

Well a company can be sued for any reason. I do not control the day to day activity apart from IT stuff.
My question specifically, if the company is sued, since I am a minority owner will I have to do rounds in the court appear before a judge etc..will I be summoned! Or only the executives majority shareholders are summoned.
(No I am not talking about a body shop and this is a small financial firm)
Usually owners are not liable when it is a corporation you are talking about. That is the whole point of being a limited liability company. Separating ownership from management is another key difference from a Proprietorship and a Corporation. Management maybe liable if they commit fraud. Think when Enron went under, the shareholders were hosed. They did not get dragged to court. The execs did.

Anytime your place of work changes on H1, your company should file an amendment to the H1B labor certification stating your new place of work.
Hopefully, the officer at the consulate wont ask and you wont have a problem.
Personally, I have my client's location as well as my company's location on my H1 LCA.

From immigration-law website.
The State Department has released the update. The sudden backlog reduction efforts by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices during the past month have resulted in the use of almost 60,000 Employment numbers. As a result of this unexpected action it has been necessary to make immediate adjustments to several previously announced cut-off dates. All Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices have been notified of the following: Effective Monday July 2, 2007 there will be no further authorizations inresponse to requests for Employment-based preference cases. All numbers available to these categories under the FY-2007 annual numerical limitation have been made available. Employment preference numbers will once again be available to these chargeability areas beginning October 1, 2007, under the FY-2008 annual numerical limitation.
If visa number is unavailable in the Visa Bulletin, it appears that the USCIS is unable to accept the 485 applications under the USCIS regulation. It is thus likely that all the applications which they received or will receive today may be rejected and returned. The current situation is different from the other worker cases rejection in June in that in that case, the State Department did not officially revised the Visa Bulletin. However, we will have to wait and see the anticipated announcement from the USCIS.
This Visa Bulletin revision also implies that there will be no EB-485 approvals during July, August, and September 2007!!!!! Accordingly all the recent approvals practically ended as of July 1, 2007 and there will be no adjudication of any employment-based I-485 applications. For the reasons, those EB-485 waiters who fail to receive the approval notices within this week will have to endure further hardships and emotional trauma. Now, people understand what Washington did to them. Had they passed the SKIL bill, all of these problems would have disappeared. We still wonder who invented the point system that helped to induce the business community to oppose the CIR and partially killed the bill. History will tell.

Hi,
My case is a bit complicated. So, your advice will be of great help.
Shortly after arriving to the country, without knowing much about immigration laws, my company applied for an EB3 PERM labor certification, although I hold a Master's degree! But, my company lawyers lack any experience! Anyway, the LC was approved in October. However, as you have guessed, retrogression was there, and I've started the waiting phase.
After reading more about rules and law, I've decided to ask the lawyers to file using EB2. One month later, they've filed another LC in EB2. Naturally, this one was rejected because DOL doesn't allow multiple filing for the same position! Once more, my lawyers proved their inefficiency, and said, it's a mistake and filed for an appeal. Until this day, the appeal is in limbo, because the guys at DOL don't even want to look at at. All our requests for info went unanswered!
Anyway, now the visa bulletin for June shows that my EB3 date has become really close, it's June 2005 for my case (EB3 World), while my PD is July 2005! I thought, finally it's time to go on with I-140. Asking my lawyers, they've adviced that I should withdraw my EB3 and the stalled EB2 and file another EB2!!! Of course I wondered as you did, "why didn't they say so earlier", but their answer was that the law and company rules just changed!
Well, instead of risking both EB3 and EB2, I've asked to withdraw the non moving EB2 only, and see what happens in July visa bulletin, which I believe would move at least by a month. I'm still waiting for my EB2 withdrawal decision too.
So, my question to the experts on this forum, what should I do next? Let's say my EB3 PD becomes current, should I just file for my green card, and hope it doesn't retrogresses while my application is being processed?
Or should, I withdraw my EB3 too and start the whole process in EB2. I'm very worried an EB2 LC request would gets complicated this time too! At the same time, I'm worried the EB3 category gets retrogressed while my I-485 is being processed and I would have to wait even longer. What do you think?
Well, that was long. So, thanks for reading and waiting to hear your recommendations and experiences.
take care,
mik

I don't have very many interesting subjects from my D70 test. Here's the only other one that has the slightest worth showing, with a bit of post processing to improve the color balance (flash on the foreground made the white table behind look very yellow, and it's still not fixed to my satisfaction)...
