Sorry, that revelation just made my head explode. The "You Lie!" Congressman claims to have been an immigration lawyer before going to Congress. I'm working on whether that is true or has the same truthiness as the illegal aliens in the health care bill myth.

I initially voted in favour of this, but on further reflection, I think this is bad policy and urge others to not support this.
Giving I-485 benefits to people without current PDs is a bad idea. It creates a class of immigrants who are neither non-immigrant visa holders (h1b) nor are they lawful permanent residents (i-551) with a set of rights that falls into neither category. The AoS pending status is intended as a short-duration temporary "gap" coverage for people who are a matter of months from having actual I-551 rights.
Essentially, this proposal aims to make every month into the July 2007 fiasco. In addition, and this is the truly horrible part of it, relieves US employers of the pressure and costs they feel now, extending H1Bs every 3 years. That means that the only allies that legal EB immigrants have (US Employers who require their services) are detached from the immigrants themselves...they no longer have a dog in the hunt, and will stop whatever pressure they are bringing to bear now upon Congresscritters and Senators to increase the number of EB visas available.
Disconnecting the interests of foreign-national employees from their US employers will weaken the political position of the foreign-national employees. We cannot vote or contribute to campaigns, our employers however, can do both. If employees are shifted to EADs and APs, with no further involvement of employers in their immigration status needed, then those employers become disconnected from the process, and the one and only ally the legal immigrant has is no longer interested. That's a horrible thing for the immigrant to advocate.
I strongly urge IV to back away from this proposal, as it is not in the long-term interests of the EB Immigrant community. I urge IV to instead focus their resources on items that will help immigrants long term, like increasing the number of EB visas available through initiatives like eliminating the DV program and allocating the visas to EB applicants.

While Congress has the ultimate responsibility to determine immigration law, the American Immigration Council reminds the President that he has substantial authority to make fixes to the immigration system within the confines of current immigration law. From AIC director Ben Johnson: Ben Johnson, Executive Director of the American Immigration Council, noted upon release of the memo: �Ultimately, responsibility for failing to reform our dysfunctional immigration system rests on Congress. However, it is rarely the case that a President�s hands are tied by existing law�and where the President disagrees with current law, his or her policy choices regarding the implementation of...

You didn't indicate the reason why your friend's H1B got rejected. If the H1 got rejected due to the problems with the company sponsored the H1, then it's highly likely the new H1 will get approved.

Hi,
Me and my wife went to India and I came back one week back with my ex employer visa without any problem,I had to show only the I-797 for the current company where I am working. My wife she is still in India coming back to US in September.
I am sending my I-797 original to her in the mail.
My concern is will the immigration officer ask her for my I-797 approval or her I-797 approval ( she is on H4). We don't have an I-797 approval for her as my H1 was applied before we got married.My current H1 is expiring on Jan 19th 2009 so we applied for extension for both of us and got the approvals but its only valid from Jan 19th 2009.
Any replies greatly appreciated.
thanks

My H1 stamping has expired. I have traveled using AP before. Just wanted to know if anyone traveled back with AP via Brussels?
Email I received from Belgium consulate just says "Indian nationals do not need transit visa". I am sure it means they do not bother about H1/AP as long as you have legal entry for the destination. Just wanted to re-check.
Thanks

Hi!. I am helping my brother for his PERM. He has a BS Electrical Engineering in the Philippines. Is there a requirement to get an education equivalency assessment for PERM? Does he need to have a US Electrical Engineering license as a support for PERM as well?
He has not yet started yet. We are still studying several options. He also has 7 years experience in the Philippines. Can that BS +7 years outside the US count for EB2 PERM?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have been without a pay for 2 months now, will that affect my I-485 application which was filed in July 07
Get a job ASAP - when ur 485 is being adjudicated - they will ask for job proof and it would be good to have as many paystubs.

Hi,
I got conflicting answers for this questions so I thought it would be best to post my question here.
This is the scenario
Company A
I am filing green card with this company based on **FUTURE EMPLOYMENT**
LABOUR APPROVED,I-140 PENDING,PRIORITY DATE : JAN 2009
Company B (Present Employer)
Labor Approved (Priority date : Aug 2009)
Now the question is Can I NOW file 140 with company B before my company A I-140 gets approved...?
In this case will I be able to use my Jan2009 priority date after my pending company-A I-140 gets approved..??
Note: I wanted to file 485 ONLY WITH COMPANY B
Again to summarize, Before my 1st 140 (Company A) gets approved can i apply for 2nd 140 (from company B)and still use 1st company's priority date when filing for 485 with 2nd company (Company B)

My I-140 (National waiver approved, no labor required, self-petition) is approved, both me and my wife are working on EAD. Have valid AP till Oct 2009. 485s filed July 2007.
Today, on 10th, my wife (dependent 485) got hard LUD, "request for evidence notice sent" is the update.
-----------
Update: 12th Nov
The RFE is for absence of child's name (my wife) on the birth certificate. They wanted another birth certificate, hospital document or religious record or civil authority record that shows her name and both the parents names. They gave us 90 days time.

The Wall Street Journal reports that DHS will "intensify" its enforcement efforts against employers around the US: John Morton, the new chief of U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement, a unit of the Department of Homeland Security, said that the agency is set to increase the number of companies it will audit and systematically impose fines on violators. Violations could also lead to criminal charges, he said. *** "You are going to see audits regularly and on a larger scale," Mr. Morton said during a two-day visit to southern California, his first since being appointed four months ago.

HI,
I had my 1st H1B with a non exempt company for 1 yr then I joined a Exempt company (university) and they filed for my H1B. I am in my 8th yr of H1B with the university & recently got 3 yr H1B extension. If I want to change jobs to non exempt can I do the H1B transfer or do I have to apply a new H1B and will I be subjected to the quota restrictions.
Since I originally had H1B which was counted against a quota, couldn't the new non exempt company just transfer my H1B.
Any information is greatly appreciated.

May 2010 promises to be a very good month for persons born in the Philippines who wish to immigrate to the U.S. through their relatives. Of course, when you are born in a country with some of the longest waiting times in the world for family-based immigration, "good" is a relative term. Want to immigrate through your parents who are U.S. citizens? The waiting times range from 15 to over 17 years depending on whether you are single or married. How about through your U.S. citizen brother or sister? The wait is a staggering 22 years! If you were born...
