'Masala Dosa' and I met with staff of Senators Mel Martinez and Bill Nelson. The meetings went very well. We had the opportunity to see the compromise announcement on the floor while we were in the office of Senator Martinez. That was a good deal.
We talked about IV, our individual cases, the need for reform and possible amendments the Senators could raise - like parity with agricultural workers (ability to self-sponser greencard), I-485 application even when priority not current, backlog elimination center update and the need to push it through, support for existing immigration reform bill, explained why the hard country limit is bad for Indians, Chinese and Philippinos and urged them to talk about keeping the limit at 10% and yet allowing unused numbers to flow to India and China.
One observation we had was that the staff had no clue what is the difference between H-1B and Greencard processing. So we spent some time educating them about how the quotas are formed, the caps etc ...
We have them all the material mentioned in the IV site for reading. Hopefully the feedback trickles down to the Senators and we get to have some of our amendments. The best part of it whether these amendments come or not is that we made an attempt to explain our problems to Senators.
Overall, it was a fruitful trip, and a well spent day. I will continue to follow up with the Senators office and keep in touch with the staff. 'Masala Dosa' will follow up with staff at his place.
We need to move on to the next step and target who would be on the committee for reconciling House and Senate versions. I am looking forward to folks who are knowledgeable in this matter to come forward and give the info.
Let us make this bill through this time and get our greencards. :D

You can still get a 1 year extension claiming that your PERM application is still pending. It all depends on the officer that the decision has not been made on PERM application.
How he can claim that "PERM application is still pending" when it's already denied!!! :)

You might want to wait until your I140 (substitution case) is approved unless your lawyer used that as basis for your 485.

Hello All,
I have couple of questions regarding Travel Document or Advance Parole.
My EAD has already been filed by my Lawyer but she is charging too much for filing Advance Parole or Travel Document,so here goes my questions.
- Is there a way to file for Travel Document myself, without involving the lawyer and if yes how can i do that
- Do I need to wait for my EAD Receipt being sent to me before filing for Travel Document.
i did this exactly, where my lawyer filed my ead, but i filed my ap myself. all u need is i-485 receipt copy.

If the cruise goes outside of US territorial waters, everyone on the ship needs to show eligibility to re-enter the US on return. This is true even if the ship does not make any port call in a non-US territory.
In your case it looks like the ship even makes a stop at BC. Irrespective of whether the ship makes the stop or whether you get out of it or not, the fact that it goes out of US waters is what matters.
So yes, you will have problems coming back if you go on this cruise.
You can however fly to Alaska and come back (like a domestic flight) without any problems, as long as it is a non-stop flight from the US to Alaska (no stops in Canada).

I just noticed that the I-140 my lawyer submitted 3 months ago to Nebraska has a typo in my DOB (21/07/2978 instead of 21/07/1978). Yes its a thousand years out! A copy of my latest I-94 and visa both showing my correct DOB were also submitted with the I-140.
Do any of you guys think I'll have the I-140 rejected, recieve an RFE, or will the Nebraska officer just use common sense and amend it himself? What do you reccomend I do if anything?
Since it is 140, your attorney or you company HR can call up and get this corrected, They will give you a service number. Also they will ask for an email address after 45 days you will get an email that it will be corrected when the file is being reviewed by an officer.

Hi All
My AP document expired in NOv 2008. I traveled to India and got back in Aug 2008. The officer stamped the document and wrote paroled until Aug 2009.
Can I travel on this document?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply roseball. My question is the new I-94 number that I got with I-797 does not match with what was given at POE but it matches with my husband's old I-94 (which is because of the error when applying).
Is this something we need to apply for correction to match with my old I-94 number which was given at POE?
Yes, you need to get it corrected or just simply re-enter the country which will get you a new I-94.

Hello:
I was on H1B and was laid off last Thursday:(
Now I am in the process of changing my status to H4 (my husband is on h1B), I heard the process takes 3-6 months. My questions hopefully someone here knows?
1. Will I be able to travel overseas back home during this 3-6 months of waiting period?
2. Can I apply for COS here in the U.S. and then go back soon afterwards and reapply H4 from the U.S. Consulate overseas when the COS to H4 is still pending here in the U.S?
3. We don't plan to stay in our current address for more than 3 months now, can I use my friend's address on the form I-539 so when the COS is approved the notice can be mailed to my friend's home? Would it cause issues when INS notice that my address on Form I-539 is different from my previous on file?
Thank you for your help!

I was looking at status of my EAD I applied on 15th October'2008 online at TSC.Status shows that my card has been ordered for production on 31st October.I received letter for Biometric appointment on 5th November. I went to ASC on Saturday( 11/1/2008) and had my fingerprinting done.
How can they order the card on 31st october when my biometrics were done by that date and my appointment was set for 5th Nov 2008 ? Anybody faced the same situation? I had gone for finger printing for I-485 this January.
I got FP notice for my EAD one month after I got my EAD in hand.

First of all please forgive me for creating a new thread. I am just trying to see whether any one in the same boat and what it could be.
I just found soft luds on my previous H1B which was approbed in 2006 Feb and I-140 which was approved in Dec - 2006 (I-140 lud was after one week of H1B Luf change). I wonder what it could be? I know there is no logic and it is hard to predict what it might be. May be some standard updates as some one suggested. But these two did not change in years.
Any way, any one in the same boat?
thanks

Hi,
I just want to know as to will the Green Card process happen faster if the State of GA were to sponsor it?
Request you to reply soon.
Thanks
I have not heard of any specific quota for Govt agencies, maybe they have, can anyone confirm it?
I think there is no specific govt quota, everything goes through the EB process

Hope your issue is already resolved. But a friend of mine, his PERM application was also denied. But they filed an Appeal and immediately, next day, they applied for his H1-B extension (7th yr) and it got approved.

Hi I'm a Moroccan citizen I was placed in removal proceedings (NY Buffalo) and took voluntary departure. once my wife's divorce was finalized we got married while on voluntary departure. we filed motion to reopen the case and it was reopened and transferred to Los Angeles, CA then the judge closed my case based on marriage with an I130 receipt without prejudice. The I130 was filed on june 2009 and was transferred to Los Angeles on November 12, 2009. I made an appointment with Info Pass but they just said you have to wait untill we call you. My lawyer said I can't file for the I485 untill the I130 is approved. My question is: How long will it take before we will be called for an interview?
An estimation will be much appreciated thank you very much.
I cannot give you any estimation But my question is why can't you file I-485. Any one who pending marriage based I-130 should be able to file I-485. Double check this with another attorney.

You want to bring him and file I130 ?
If he marry a US citizen, she can file his I-130 eventhough he is out of status.
(If the entry into USA is legal and out of status later, can adjust, if filed by spouse)
For parent , brother/sister filing, I don't know and I don't think it is possible.
Hi
My brother got a B1/B2 multi-entry visa for 2 years. My mother is a green card holder and my brother didn't want her to submit an I-130 on his behalf since she became a US resident. The reason was because one of the questions that the embassy asks when you apply to get a visa to enter the US is weather a relative submitted an I-130 on your behalf or not. If yes then the embassy thinks of you as you want to enter the US and remain there until ur I-130 is approved and a visa number is available.. my question is since my borther got his visa, will it be ok for my mother to submit an I-130 on his behalf now without having the embassy rejecting him B1/B2 visa in the future(that is after his current B1/B2 visa expire in 2 years ????
Another question if a person is in the US and out of status, can a relative submit an I-130 on his behalf and if yes how good is his chance to adjust his status when the I-130 is approved in the future??
Thank you very much

Hi,
I have my Employment based 485 Pending since Aug'2007 (EB-2, priority June'2006, India) and I am currently using EAD for my employment. I am married to a US citizen and have 130 approved on Dec'2008. I want to know what would be my next step.
Can I interfile the pending 485 with the approved 130? or Do I need to file a new 485 and withdraw the pending employment based 485 once I got the new EAD. or Do I need to go for counselor processing?
Please share your experience on this. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
I'm outside US with AP (expiring in about a month). My GC has been approved this June.
My GC employer has run out of work. He is likely to get work later.
My options are:
a) Stay outside US and look for project. On getting confirmed work, enter US to join employer.
b) Enter US, look for project. On getting confirmed work, join employer.
Getting employed by GC sponsor employer with, either option could take few months.
While entering US, I will NOT have EVL(employment letter), only AP & I485 Approval Notice.
Which is safer option (a or b) for US entry ?
What questions can be asked at POE ? What should I say if asked about employer ?
Can GC be revoked at POE?
Which is safer option (a or b) for GC renewal, citizenship ?
Thanks.

Hi,
My wife is going to apply for both H4 and H1 visa. Since marriage is in March end, she will come to US on H4 visa. Her H1 visa will be applied as if she were in India. Now her I94 will say H4. Once she gets her H1B, she will have to go out of country to get new I94.
We can go to Mexico to get it stamped and hence get new I94. If for some reason, H1B is rejected, can she still enter the US on H4 visa?
Thanx,
