I've read the first two chapters of the book. The first chapter provides an excellent insight into the history of Immigration. Although we had some knowledge of how things progressed in recent past, this book provides is an extremely relevant and detailed true description of the events, the bills in 1990s, 2006 and 2007, and so on.
For those of us who care about our green cards and large debate surrounding the issues affecting us, you will find this book learning and worthy experience.

You might want to be careful abt the Birth Certificate.
I have seen in many forums and even heard from a friend who sponsored his parents with the Original Certificate.
Hi,
I will be sponsoring US visitor's visa for my parents. They will be going to Kolkata consulate for visa interview. I believe my parents need to carry my Birth Certificate along with other documents for the interview. Do they need to carry my original birth certificate or copy of my birth certifcate is fine.
Thanks

Employer can revoke 140 but as 180 days have passed you will have to demonstrate to USCIS that your 140 would have been approved with the new company if it was filed. That is somewhat not very straightforward so my suggestion is that you should take your employer in confidence so that 140 is not revoked......
AC21 - Job title can be different but job duties have to be similar. Similar duties are a MUST to avoid any issues with AOS.......also you dont have to inform USCIS that you changed your employer........there are pros and cons of it but what I have seen is that most people do not infrom USCIS......when USCIS comes to a point that they will adjust your status they might check with you if you are working with same employer and issue a RFE which you can respond to easily with the help of an attorney (just hv to make sure that job duties are similar and the new employer will issue you a letter which will prove it)
Make sure that you talk to HR and your manager if you take up a new job to acertain that job duties match, run both job descriptions by your attorney......better to take precaution than to be sorry.

Hi Experts/Lawyers,
Hope someone can shed some light on this case, anyone who is/has experienced this situation.Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
My previous company (9yrs), they filed for my GC.
Labor approved and they did a concurrent filing in august 2007.
After a year I lost my job, no choice, had to quit, tired to hang in there for I-140 approval but, they had one lay off and I was safe and another layoff soon after I left the company.
After a month or so they withdrew my I-140 petition and it was not approved.I didn't get any notice, but came to know when I got my I-485 denial notcie.
I found a new job out of state, working remote.Filed for I-485 and I-140 MTR/appeal with the help of new attorneys.They claimed since the concurrent filing was past 180 days and if I-140 was approvable they should approve it and allow me to port to the new company.
Meanwhile I got H1B extension with the new company.
The MTR/Appeal Got denied and the notice didn't mention anywhere that my petition was unapprovable, but since it was withdrawn, it's denied and we did show the proof of new job and job offer and pay stubs in the same/similar position and responsibility.
We tired two more appeals, I tried Congressional office, everything failed. Now the attorneys suggest that I go for Writ of Mandamus, and I' am going for that now.
Meanwhile my H1B with the new company is valid till sept of this year.I do not have new perm pending or new GC process, but will still have the job offer for AC21.
Also my spouse is a GC holder, will be eligible to file for citizenship in 2011.
I have to stay legal till that happens or I hear from the lawsuit.Can't extend H1B since GC process is not pending now (this was my 9th year extension).
What are my options? Is it safe to try and see if I can change my status to F1 and go to school here till my spouse gets the citizenship? I have a I-130 pending through that way.So my immigrant intend is clear.Help please.

Hi attorney,
I know the question sounds weird.
My husband applied EB2 in 2007. 140 approved and 485 pending. But then we came back to our home country because of layoff. We carried AP but now AP is expiring in 3 weeks. I know after AP goes expired, our 485 will be considered abandoned.
I heard that PD is still ours even in the case of abandonment of 485. So, I still hope that some day we can come back to US to re-do the green card application. My question is, once PD becomes current, how long will the window to submit 485 be open for us?
Thanks.
Jijie
In order to preserve the PD, you will require a copy of your approved 140. Do you have the copy - in that case, next time you will have to file labor and at 140 stage, you can get your PD back.

Yes I got the mail too and it says the same word to word. No surprise there.
We would need to educate the problems to the Senators. They seem to think anything related to immigration like a tunnle view. Just one thought and one decision and that is wrong.

talk to some lawyers, or research internet, there are some number of days, after your visa expiry or H1B rejection that you need to pack and leave...find out if that applies to your case..
also when you got approval was it having new I-94 attached to it..or was it approved for consular processing..

She can file her own extension using form I-539. You can use your receipt number in her application. I am planning to do the same. It doesnt make sense to pay the lawyer a grand for that. If your H1 is approved, her H4 will be approved. There is no way I can think of having your H1 approved and her H4 being denied unless she has any violations or out of status etc.

Hi ,
Finally after a long wait i heard some good news from my lawyer that my labor from PBEC has been approved.
I have few questions in regards to my H1-B visa extension . The labor that got approved was from my previous company PD March2003 and i also have labor pending for my current company PD Feb2005.
I wanted to apply for three yrs extension on my H1B I will be completing my 5th yr in Feb 15th 2007 and would like to know if i can get 3yr extension after premium processing i-140 bec based on some of the post on IV i came to this conclusion that one has to be in/past their 6th yr term on H1b according to AC21?
Secondly, i would like to know if i can use copy of approved i-140 from my previous company and get 3yrs H1b extension.

Out of personal experience of stories from other people I understand that generally most people do not have any problem while going for stamping outside the country. Subject to the fact that I am not an attorney and that you should consult one, here is my no guarantee advice:
Ensure that you have all the paper work and that you do not have any period of illegal stay;
Ensure that you go for stamping long before your visa validity runs out.
Again this is purely based on what I have noticed in my personal experience. Some people do get unlucky but overall it is better to go to a non-indian consulate and especially avoid Madras consulate.

Hello
Thanks for looking at this question:
Scenario: I was working for company A on H1 (valid until 2010) and filed a GC through a company B (Head Hunter Company) for future employment, I have my 140 approved, and 485 was filed June 2007, have an EAD/AP. Got a RFE for intent of employment was satisfied with a letter from Company B that "I intend to join company B subject to my favourable adjudiciation". Company A is going under because of lack of funds.
Questions:
Now I am searching for a job, I am getting job offers.
1) Either I will do a contract through through Company B for which I do not have to anything in terms of immigration right?
2) But if I strart working for Company C's payroll then I am going to have to do an AC21 right or can I still hang on to company B.
3) If I do AC21 through company C and if the Job description is pretty close to the description on the LC then would it be okay or do I fear rejection? Or will I be asked why I did not work for the company who filed for my GC in the first place.
Please throw some light on the best option I have.
Thanks!
You started you GC as future employement with company A. You never joined them and want to use AC-21 which will raise red flag. So you need to need to very careful.

I work with a consulting company on client side. The client is planning a shutdown for 2 days a month - 2nd and 4th Friday.
Do you guys think its gonna impact 485 application. I am asking this question cause the labor was approved for 40/hrs per week and the salary slip shows the number of hrs worked per month which will be lesser than 160 (in case the month has 4 weeks).
BTW, I am on EAD and 140 approved couple of years back.
Thanks
Pavan -
You should maintain 40/hr per week. This could mean - your consulting company paying these days for your "full time job". The other option is - taking paid time off for these days. Again, it should be paid time off.
Good Luck.

PERM processing for non-audited cases is taking anywhere from 8-12 months these days. Assuming your case does not come under audit, then yes, with premium processing of I-140, you can expect both your Labor/I-140 being approved by Dec 2010 (assuming the 8-12 month PERM processing times still hold good)
Thanks for the reply. If my labor/i-140 is approved by December 2010, can I continue to stay in US?

My current AP will be expiring this Dec, and my priority date is Jan 2006.
I have a wedding in Canada in January 2011. I would like to know if I need an Advance Parole to Canada then re-enter? Somehow I read somewhere about Canada and Mexico have different requirements.
Thanks for your input.
Yes, you WILL need AP. DO NOT leave without an APPROVED AP in hand, to Canada, as that will make your GC application deemed abandoned. Repeat, you need an APPROVED AP in hand, before you depart for Canada.
