inn amendments ko chatega ? yaa poojegaa ?
Great news! The Hatch widows bill (which removes the requirement that a couple must have been married for two years before a US citizen dies) passed and included in that bill were provisions extending the religious worker green card program and the Conrad 30 J-1 physician waiver program. Each of these programs were extended for three years. The EB-5 regional center program for immigrant investors was permanently reauthorized by the Senate yesterday. The House must agree to these amendments before they go to the President and I do not yet know whether the bill will go back to the House...

HELP!!!i'm confuse!i entered here in the US as a tourist visa last year oct 2008.my 1-94 lapsed last april 30, 2009 but i'm still here in the US because i have a pending immigrant petition as a nurse and my lawyer said i could stay until 180 days which will end on oct 2009. I was filed as h1b for non profit organization last sept 1 as a dietitian on premium processing. My employer told me to just wait for my notice of receipt and approval in 15 days.My question is that it will be possible for the USCIS to approve me because technically i am now out of status but i do have until October to stay here because of my 180 days. I need some answers to clear up my mind.

Hi,
Could you please advice for the below case.
Entered US on H4 in 2005, then got H1 approved in 2006. But was never on project with H1, hence no pay stubs. Currently H1 has expired and planning to go India for H4 stamping. Will there be any problems regarding the H1 period where there were no Paystubs?
Thanks
Yes you will have a problem as you received a COS to H-1 and never worked on it from 2006, you are technically out of status for that period. In addition your I-94 has not expired and you are still in the country, if it has expired more than 6 months ago their are other issues of unlawful presence. When you go out of the country for a stamping the officer will look at your status before granting you a H-4. You are in trouble, suggest you take a consultation with an attorney to try and resolve your problem.

Greed happens in tragic events too. Do not expect everyone in this world to have a pure heart. This case is genuine but we need better management and disclosure on their website.

I emailed some of our core members. I hope they can take out some time to deal with these rouge elements tomorrow. In Hindi they say- Asteen Ka Saanp ( snake in your sleeve) for this kind of behavour from USINPAC
I agree with you 100%. I think Anti-Immigrants like NumbersUSA and Tom Tancredo is better than USINPAC. For Anti-immigrants atleast we know where they stand and we know what to expect from them. usinpac is the worst kind of disease for the community where they can trick you anytime and you will not even know when they are stabbing you at your back. They just want to do photo-ops and claim the credit for the things they didn't even know. I live in VA and most people in Indian community in northern VA know about the inside story of these scamster. Initially a few lawmakers got the impression that usinpac represent the Indian American community, maybe that is what the con-artist at this org conveyed to a few lawmakers. Now everybody in DC area, including the lawmakers, know the truth about this group. A journalist friend in MD told me that even press and reporters know about this totally useless org called usinpac.
It is one thing if they do something and then claim credit for doing it. The problem is first of all they claim to represent entire Indian American community; on top of that they do not do anything about the any issue including green card issue. But when they see something happening they will try to take ownership of anything moving and will try to make a show that things are moving because of them. Just as in this case, all the members of IV sent flowers and these guys are releasing press release to tell to the world that they are the once doing this drive. Such press release from them is extremely damaging as the basic intent of the ENTIRE flower campaign was o draw media attention. In this case usinpac did not spare all the people spending days and nights to coordinate, Nixtor and English_august and thousands of people who sent flowers. How can someone stoop so low? Now they want to get media attention and that is why they have sneaked in this press release. IV core must come clean on this and clearly renounce these consistent immature acts of these con-artists. This org with extremely bad reputation and we must stay as far away from them as possible.

I was just thinking from the view of the people who are opposing have argument that, new American Jobs will be taken away. In my first post, I have written that we have not thought of or do not want to think about dropping FB Visa recapture. But it was just a proposal that we can tell those people that no American job will be lost. I am not against Family based immigration or any kind of immigration. This idea was just put forward for those Groups who oppose immigration due to fear of taking away new American jobs.
PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD.
Family based visas has a lot of support from the citizens who are actually voting in the elections, no wonder politicians like it. No matter what you say, anti-immigrants will always twist the truth and spread the news that all these visas are new and will take away American jobs. Dont you think family based people will want to drop all the employment based green cards?

Thanks guys,
But I am still not 100% clear. I thought both of them have independent EAD statuses, but applying together is because of maritial status.
Is it not needed for wife's case to be independently handled.
You can have independent status of EAD, but your wife's EAD is based on her 485 and her 485 is based on your 485. If your 485 is denied, your EAD is invalid and you dont have any status. Eventually her 485 will also be denied based on your denial that will make her EAD invalid. Hope this helps! Basic rule! Until the 485 denial of individual application, individual EAD is valid

Here's a killer.
- Applied for EAD and AP renewal for self, spouse and child (total 5 apps) with a RD of July 22 and ND of July 23, 2008.
- When I would check the case status online for my renewal apps, I kept getting a message "Case Retreival falied. Receipt # DOES NOT EXIST" :eek::eek::eek:
- GC approved on Aug 9
- Lawyer gets a copy of my Approval Notice for I-485 on August 20 and sends a copy to me by overnight mail ALONG with the renewal AP which was approved on August 18 - a good nine days after GC approval:confused::confused::confused:
- No idea where my EAD apps are!!! not that it matters
GAWD - Some serious system fixes need to be done at USCIS......
Congrats!!!
I am happy for you. This wait and hope when the dates are current is very taxing. may lady luck smile on me too

Your lawyer is right. People are taking advantage of portabilty of PD in multiple 140s. However, they are forgetting fundamental of 140 sponsership. Your employer already filed a 140 for a higher level position (EB2) and now requesting again USCIS to approve a 140 for a lower level position (EB3) for same employee with in a months. How will you justify? Howmany job offer your employer can give you? Is there any logic involved, for a person already given a higher level position, to take a lower level position. In the eyes of USCIS, it will defintly looks like your employer is doing fraud and there is no genuine job offer to you. If it is otherway, it may not look bad. If your first I-140 was EB3 and second one is EB2, then there may be a logic.
Yes, what you said is exactly the attorney is concerned. I do know that there are a lot of such cases got approved without any problems. But if my employer refuses to cooperate with this excuse, definitely he is not wrong on the legal base, although the employer promisesed: we will try to get your gc as quick as possible.
But how do you think if in the cover letter, we tell USCIS that the purpose of filing this 2nd EB3 140 is to carry over the PD? We can explain the background why we have to do it -- first EB3 labor pending in DOL for 3 years, PERM system came as quicker way and got EB2 approved quickly but encountered visa quota retrogession. If we told USCIS everything, do you think it still cause fraud issue? Because definition of FRAUD is: intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right. It really depends on USCIS officer to judge it case by case -- may be denied or approved.
I know one attorney processed similiar case and got RFE to be questioned: why do you apply EB3 after EB2 is approved? The attorney just honestly answered RFE: the beneficiary need the earlier PD. Then this EB3 140 case got approved quite quickly.

I had my FP done at San Jose ASC and It took us around 15 min for the entire process of filling the forms,waiting to be called for FP and doing the actual FP.
The lady asked me to sign on an electronic pad(some people reported that they were asked to write their full name and sign at the bottom) which I did and she gave us some feedback forms to fill out and drop in the suggestion box.
It was easy for me to locate the ASC because i used to commute by Charcot drive to take 87 on my way back home from my old office :)
A friend of mine went without the receipt. Only his wife had the receipt. They printed his receipt right there... Even tho his appnt was a week later they did his FP the same day... he had no problems with the security guard... I guess its just ur luck!

if your wife has chosen Consular processing when filing I-140, it is possible to go ahead with concurrent applications
Hi Friends,
I have applied for my I485 last month and received receipt numbers this week. At the time I consulted my company lawyer and he said it is possible apply from your wife's company for both of us and when USCIS gets to approving one application they will ask other one to be withdrawn.
The reason I asked and agreed to do so was manily because of the VERY unstable condition our my job. My wife's job is more stable than mine.
Now we are try to apply from my wife's company, her lawyer is saying that we can not have more than one I485 pending, had I known this - it more based on interpretation from the lawyers I would not have applied for my application just applied for my wife's.
Hoping that nothing may happen should I drop the idea of applying for I485 from my wife's company. Although my hope line is too thin.
My question is has any on in similar situation applied for 2 I485s. I am really confused as my lawyer says that it is possible and my wife's lawyer says it is not possible to have 2 pending I485 applications..

Trust me.. Unless CIR passes or fails nothing is going to change. These introductions are base less. Its like just a thought. Even all of 500k professionals who might be stuck at various stages of GC process unite and call to pass it . It will not pass. Period.
Hispanic caucus will not allow any piecemeal approach for immigration. They are holding EB reform for illegals. So lets hope that CIR gets introduce and pass with our relief. If CIR passes then it will have recapture. If it fails then we can try for recapture or any of these without worry for hispanic caucus. So I dont think so IV or even any organization like IV can do anything for next 6 months where CIR may get a chance. All we can do is call congress man and ask for support when CIR discussion comes on floor.
We may achieve some admin fixes if current administration really wants to help us.
I completely agree with what gc_on_demand said. The recent immigration provisions that zuhail is referring to is merely an extension of the sunsetting EB4 and EB5 programs. They HAD to renew it since otherwise the applications in process would be in limbo.
Unless CIR is introduced, no other EB relief is going to happen on the legislative side. If CIR passes, we will have increased visas to clear the backlog - since without first clearing the "legal" backlog, they wouldn't dare issue a single GC to illegals. If not, then recapture stands a definite chance since the Hispanic lobby would then be more open to a "piecemeal" approach. My 2 cents.
