Hi Experts,
My L1 Individual petition was rejected, the reason was "Individual doesn't have enough specialized knowledge". My question is can I make fresh petition for L1 blanket approval after 6-7 months?

I am a PHP programmer available for hire (http://www.skdevelopment.com/) .

I've more than 6 years of work experience. Most projects I developed were in Visual FoxPro, C++, PHP.

Please see my resume (http://www.skdevelopment.com/resume.php) for details.

I have designed 2 web sites in PHP/MySQL. I am looking for an opportunity to create a good portfolio in web programming. I am mostly interested in minor projects in PHP/MySQL. Though I could do some bigger ones too (only as part-time job presently).

Hi,

Does 5% salary reduction require an amendment even though the salary is still much higher than the prevailing wage? I have been on a reduced salary for a year and about to get a visa stamp. Everybody says something different on this issue. I am just worried that this will cause problems in the consulate. I don't even know how the consular officers actually figure someones annual salary from their pay stubs. Should i just go and act like everything is normal and not mention about the reduction? Because it makes such a little difference in every paycheck. Please help me out on this issue. Nobody responded my previous post. I am very stressed out.

The USCIS has issued guidelines for petitioners filing cap-subject H-1B petitions for Fiscal year 2011. The guidance explains what that cap is, what petitions are subject to the cap, filing fees, where to file, etc. See here (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=4b7cdd1d5fd37210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=73566811264a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60a RCRD).

I applied for 485 under july-07 bulletin and received my AP and EAD though I have not used it yet.

Now I got married and my wife is USC. I would like to apply for 485 based on marriage.

So before applying for marriage based 485, do I need to revoke employment based 485 application or I can have two 485 applications (from two different categories) at the same time? Do I need to revoke AP and EAD also received from employment based?

Also I assume that I need to maintain same A# (got from emploment based application) for marriage based 485 application also.

If I don't need to revoke employment based AP and EAD, then can I use these while my family based 485 application is pending?

I appreciate your help

On February 18 and 19, the University of California (Irvine) hosted a symposium where many of U.S. immigration's Rock-Star professors came together to try and solve "Persistent Puzzles in Immigration Law." The topics covered a wide expanse. A subject discussed that particularly interested me is Congress's often inexplicable delegation of regulatory authority among a surfeit of federal agencies that administer and enforce the immigration laws, each with its area of real (or presumed) expertise and overlapping responsibilities. One speaker mentioned her concern about the possible mis-use of E-Verify by some employers to screen current or would-be workers for employment eligibility,...

I have filed my i-485 application with Vermont Service Center sometimes in 2003 or 2004 (do not remember, was a long time ago). The case was transferred to Texas Service Center in March 2007.

I just spoke to the USCIS customer service, and they told me that once case is transferred, the "receipt" date changes to the transfer date. So, due to the "improved service within the TX center" (as USCIS claims), all people who were waiting for adjustment of status and were transferred to the TX are screwed again. On the other hand, people who filed with the TX service center in 2006 retain their original "receipt" date.

:mad:

P.S. my priority date was current for the past 2 months, however there is still no GC in sight.

My question is - given the size of my company, if I file for Green Card, will my case stand for GC processing or probably will get rejected?

I am new to GC, so would appreciate any helpful suggestions.

Ugandan-born Charles Wesley Mumbere, a former nurse's aide in Maryland and Pennsylvania, was crowned king of Uganda's 300,000-strong Rwenzururu Kingdom. Mumbere was sent to the US in 1984 as a young man in order to get an education. In 1987, he sought political asylum due to political upheaval in his country. He trained as a nurse's aide in the US and kept his royal status a secret for most of the last quarter century. The green card holder returned to Uganda earlier this month to assume the monarchy for his people. Good luck, King Charles.

I have worked for Company "A"(Ex-employer) under H1-B(company A holding my H1-b) from 2007-2010. During 2009 & 2010, company A was unable to clear all my payments as the company went through some financial hurdles but they issued W-2 for the amount paid in fiscal year 2009. Now, company A has got money and they decided to clear my back wages for 2009-2010 through 1099 form. I transferred my H1-B visa to Company B(2010) then to Company C(current employer). Now, Company C has started my Green card(GC) process.

Questions:
1. I already received W2 for 2009. Can company A amend the W2 for the back wages?
2. Is it legal to take the unpaid amount under 1099? Will it affect my GC process?
3. What are my options to get my back wages from company A?
4. Company A want to issue 1099 along with a letter stating that i was full time employee for the time period mentioned in 1099. Is it acceptable?


I really appreciate your help for taking your valuable time in clarifying my questions. I look forward for your reply.

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.

Conservatives Launch Caucus (http://www.rollcall.com/issues/53_52/news/20766-1.html) By John Stanton | ROLL CALL STAFF, October 31, 2007

Frustrated by what they see as a party gone astray, a group of House and Senate conservatives led by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) today will announce a new bicameral caucus aimed at returning fiscal restraint, ethics and national defense to the fore of the GOP's philosophical and policy platforms.

The group - which in addition to DeMint and Hensarling is made up of Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz.), Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) and Rep. John Campbell (R-Calif.) - will officially announce the creation of their new caucus - dubbed Reagan21. They also will unveil their "statement of policy commitment," which includes 10 key positions on issues ranging from Congressional earmarks to health care reform.

While participants are billing the new caucus as a complement to the leadership teams in place in the House and Senate, Republicans familiar with the project acknowledge that to a certain degree it is a challenge to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), because implicitly the call for a new direction is a rejection of the course they have steered along with President Bush.

"When you're saying, 'Here's the vision of what the party should be,' you're saying the vision isn't there right now," said a House Republican not directly involved with the effort.

A second Republican agreed, arguing that a more broad change in how the party runs is needed.

"Whenever there's a vacuum in elected or political leadership, there's a need to fill it. When you have leadership positions not resulting in leadership, people will go elsewhere," the second Republican said, adding the problems of the party go far beyond simple messaging conflicts.

"It's a fight for [the GOP's] soul, not just a superficial divide. There are people who believe it's the job of Republican Members to come here and send money home to their states and to expand government. And that's just not what rank-and-file party members want."

Today's announcement of the group's principles for reform of the Republican Party are the first in a series of steps that the caucus will take over the next several months. Members are in the process of setting up independent outside institutions - similar to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation - to support their activities, and they will have a Web site up and running in the next few weeks.

Although details of those plans were unclear at press time Tuesday, one member of the group said the caucus will use the foundation as a semi-independent apparatus to communicate with Republicans outside Washington, D.C., as well as the general public.

Although members of the group declined to comment on the caucus on the record, one Member involved said the lawmakers believe the GOP's elected leaders have strayed from the party's traditional fiscal conservative roots.

"A few of us here are trying to change the culture" of the GOP, the lawmaker said, adding that "the core values of the Republican Party are not being adhered to by the party inside Congress. But there's a yearning for it outside the Beltway."

According to Republicans familiar with the effort, it arose from meetings between DeMint, who chairs the Republican Steering Committee in the Senate, and Hensarling, who chairs the Republican Study Committee in the House. Both organizations are the hub for conservative efforts in the chambers, and following the disastrous 2006 election, DeMint and Hensarling began holding meetings in an effort to better coordinate their efforts.

Eventually, the two began to bring other lawmakers into these Member-only meetings. Following months of discussion, the group decided to start the caucus, choosing a name that would invoke the core fiscal principles of former President Ronald Reagan for the 21st century.

The principles - which new members will be required to make a pledge to follow and which will be the centerpiece of the group's legislative and public outreach efforts - cover a wide variety of issues. For instance, members of the caucus will be required to foreswear asking for any new earmarks in legislation. The principles also call for reforms to the tax code and entitlement programs, including the implementation of personal "ownership" of retirement security and health care decisions, according to a copy of a document obtained by Roll Call. Members of the caucus also will support expansion of intelligence and other national defense programs, as well as an aggressive border security approach to immigration.

While all of the members of the group would likely fall under the broad rubric of "social conservatives," the principles steer clear of issues like abortion or gay marriage. According to those involved in the effort, members of Reagan21, according to one, have decided that while those issues are important to them, they have decided to "focus on the fiscal policy issues that I think really killed us last year."

Republicans privately also applauded the decision to stay with traditional fiscal issues rather than expand the group's focus into social topics. One source noted that while most base Republican voters are fierce social conservatives, many independent voters and disaffected Democrats - who agree with the GOP on fiscal issues and ethics - are turned off by the party's heavy tilt toward its social wing.

According to GOP aides, the group has operated under strict confidentiality rules as it has hashed out how it will operate and what its mission should be - so much so that staff continue to have only a sketchy idea of what their bosses are envisioning. Additionally, the members of the group have agreed to not tip their hand to either Boehner or McConnell before today's news conference, although they have begun reaching out to like-minded Members in the House and Senate to join the group.

The formation of the caucus is the latest in a series of breaks between conservatives, particularly in the Senate, and the party's traditional power centers this year. DeMint and Coburn have openly and repeatedly attacked "Old Bulls" in the party like Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) for their use of earmarks. Additionally, conservatives openly broke with their leaders this spring over the immigration bill.

The Reagan21 member cautioned that the caucus's critique of current GOP positions should not be seen as members "tak[ing] a swipe at anybody" in leadership positions. "They've got a tough job and it's hard to get your arms around the whole party" in a way that could facilitate reform, the lawmaker explained, adding that Reagan21 participants see themselves as "the conscience of the Republican Party here" in Washington.

But reform will be key if Republicans are to avoid further electoral loses next year, this member said.

"Unless the Republicans get together and define themselves we're going to get caught in fog. ... I don't want to be Democrat-lite," the lawmaker said, adding that the group hopes to attract Members who have long been fiscal conservatives as well as new recruits. Reagan21 hopes "that a lot of these Republicans who like to think they can have it both ways - go home and talk like conservatives but come here and vote for whatever they want - will be forced to come to our side. We can't continue to allow a few people in our party continue to pervert what we are about."

Hi,

This question is to all attorneys for their input on whether there will be another window (or something called pre-filing) for all GC applicants waiting for file their I-485. It would be great if there could be 'pre-filing' with eligibility for EAD since H1 renewals are becoming tougher by the minute.
Attorneys please add your comments if there is a probability of this happening and if not is there any way we can request USCIS to consider?

Thanks in advance !

Dear All,
As I work for a consulting company and my previous lawyer was my employer's ass kisser, I decided to go for a new lawyer.

(1) Will the new lawyer need any documents from old lawyer? As such I have copies of everything till now
(2) My employer is in Dallas and I am on a project in New Jersey, but my petition is for my permanant work location in Dallas - is it advisable to choose a lawyer from Dallas (future employment area) or NYC/NJ where I currently have my project (i plan to stay here for a while) - what is the general take - physical accessibility to lawyer or choose lawyer close to company location?
(3) How hard is it to find lawyers? Last month when dates moved considerably - I heard lawyers have been stressed and over burdened over the mad rush of petitions and have been least responsive - will lawyers take new cases in such situations???
(4) Can anyone suggest a communicative lawyer? The best of all :)

Thanks for your responses

I was laid off in early April, and the employer told me that they would revoke my H1B 30 days later (early May).

Now finally I get a job offer. The new employer can start to work on my h1b now, but the starting date will be late July.

I have an EAD right now based on my approved 140 and pending 485 (>=180days)

I talked with my attorney, and he said I would definitely have to go back to re-activate my H1B abroad, so I should use EAD instead of doing H1B.

Is it true that I have to go abroad to re-activate my h1B? I saw some people transferred sucessfully

Any thoughts? Thank you very much.

I have a quick question. Should I go ahead and apply for my wife's I131 – Advanced payroll too with her 485/EAD. The way I understand 485/EAD/AP is as soon as she gets her EAD, she would want to work and in that case it would be recommended to have a AP too. People suggest that AP should/can be applied later on but I do not see any benefit in saving 6 months/170$.


Also let me add that my wife will be in US from August 10th to August 26th and then November 10th. As you have to be in country till AP approval should i defer applying her AP now. She is currently on H4.

Please suggest.

Thank you for your time

All,

My lawyer received an RFE on my EB3/RIR labor cert on priority date 01/26/04In Feb sometime and responded back exactly on the last day (03/01/07) it was due. I have not heard anything back from DBEC since then. Anyone here have any idea how much time they take to approve the labor after RFE is responded back, if at all they do approve it? I know couple of my friends in CA who got their labor approved within a month after their RFE was responded back. My labor was filed from WI.

Please post your experiences if anyone experienced this before. The RFE was about company's financial document. I am not worried about the financial status of the company as it is doing pretty good from last 3-4 years consistently.

any info on this issue will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

My OPT was approved and I received the approval notice. But the card itself
has been lost in mail. I have applied for a replacement card.

I am aware of something called the "I-9 receipt rule" wherein the receipt for
the replacement of a lost document can be used in place of the document itself
for a period of 90 days.

Does this apply to my case? In other words, can I use the receipt of the replacement
request to work for upto 90 days?

Thanks in advance!

PS: I am aware that I cannot start working based on the approval notice itself.

Hi,
I have a question regarding the I765 form. In the I 765 form it says Have you ever before applied for EAD to USCIS. I did my MS from US University and got OPT also known as EAD and worked on it for an year. Now my question is do i check yes or no? Do i consider that as EAD or just OPT.

Huggi,

under OPT you are still on F1 Visa...If you join another degree, you can still have F1, I believe you just need to inform the university on which your visa was issued about the university transfer. International affairs at your new univ. should help in this regard.

If you are working on H1 then dont renew your AP, you can always travel and enter using your H1. If you plan to use your EAD pretty soon (or your H1 is expiring soon and you dont plan to renew it ) then apply 60 days before you plan to start using EAD and you should be fine.

You can even apply for AP after the current one has expired, its just that you wont be able to travel till you get your new AP if you have abandoned your H1 status.

You are ok. As per the USCIS FAQ they would not penalize you on that and your appl. will get accepted if otherwise OK.

My attorney sent my I-485 at Nebraska center because my I-140 was pending at Nebraska but according to question # 38 on FAQ-3, it should have gone to TX based on June 22, 2007 direct filing directives. Should I file again at Texas center?
