I took an infopass appointment last october and my FBI name check status was pending. After seeing the USCIS memo on march4th that all namecheck pending for 180 days has been cleared by feb 28th 2009, i went again for an infopass appt last week. IO toldme that my namecheck is still pending.
So i contacted my senators office same day and sent all my info along with the USCIS memo. Next day senators office called me back and told me that they called USCIS and came to know that my name check has been cleared. Senators office told me that infopass information could be wrong or may not have been updated.
IS that a possibility ? any inputs ?
I took infopass again last week and the IO told me the FBI name check is still pending. My lawyer initiated and inquiry to nebraska serv center and got following notification
"CIS electronic records indicate that both applicants have current Fingerprint results and FBI name checks"
Does that mean FBI name check is cleared?. If yes why infopass showing wrong thing?. Also i had only one FP done, that was in sep 2007.

I am currently on H1 Visa in the US. Am I allowed to go to school part-time and get my MBA degree ?
And also, I am looking at a big amount of money that I gotta pay for tuition, does anyone know any tax credits that we can use to reduce the burden ?
Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.

harrydr,
It is not now. I cannot apply for I485 as PD is not current for me.
I am asking when USCIS decides to introduce an extra step called Pre-App for I485 and for which PD need not be current.
There was this news in early May that USCIS is planning to halt concurrent filing and introduce new Pre-App process. So I wanted to learn more about this from others...

Follow "Direct Filing" instruction by USCIS effective July 30th 2007. Did googling for "Direct filing I-765", you will get the answer. Thanks
All,
I have a question about Mailing my renewal petitions. I have talked to Texas SC few times. I got different answers each time. It appears that they all need job training.
Here is my scenario:
Originally my 485 was filed with NSC and then it was transferred to TSC. So my 485 is pending in TSC right now. Where should I mail my renewal applications?. I live in Colorado. There are 2 different views on this. Some people say that I have to send my applications to whereever my 485 is pending. Some people say that I have to mail it to NSC.
Any thoughts?/
Thanks

I think approved I-140 is the right stage. Why do we have to live in uncertainty after an application for immigration has been approved. It also makes sense to request AOS for 5+ years of H1 as well.

Guys,
Has anyone experienced this?
EB3-I
PD - Nov. 2005
EAD/AP RD - July 11th, 2008
EAD/AP Notice Date - July 18th, 2008
EAD/AP approved - Aug. 18th, 2008
I just received EADs for me and my spouse and the validity is only 1 year! Aren't we (people whose PDs are retrogressed) supposed to receive EADs with 2 years validity?
Did you filed 140 & 485 concurrently?? this is also one of the uscis check that you shouldn't filed be concurrently...
Gurus,Correct me if i am wrong..

Yes, the numbers are fixed. Therefore, those who filed in July and August, which were not given number from FY2007 will get from FY2008. And that would be too many for countries like India and China.

The government has been ramping up enforcement of employment immigration laws, with a particular focus on insuring that companies are staying in compliance. The number of enforcement activities has increased dramatically in the past year. Now, more than ever, it�s important to insure that your company is ready in case of a government I-9 audit. And for the first time, it�s not enough to be in compliance. Each company must prove compliance, and if using an electronic system, use one that works in accordance with immigration laws.
The San Diego Union Tribune reports (http://signonsandiego.com/news/2010/oct/09/immigration-audits-are-increasing-against/), enforcement in San Diego County mirrors a national trend toward more scrutiny of employers� I-9 forms, the universal tool for verifying permission to work in the United States.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, initiated 66 audits with local employers in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, reviewing 5,588 individual I-9s in the process. That was up from 44 audits in fiscal 2009 and just one audit in 2008. A company can be fined up to $1,100 for each illegal employee, and knowingly violating verification laws can lead to criminal charges and forfeited assets.
So the heat is now on employers to clean the house, it is also a great burden on employees to find work. As the illegal population continues to grow, they will also find creative ways to deal with the system. All we can suggest employers is to conduct routine internal I-9 audits and have an immigration policy in place, this is the best practice to follow.

No its not true.
Please do not rely on Indian Media for immigration news.
They have covered their bases by putting "May" in the headline. "May" increase visas.
There is already a discussion that happened about this on another thread. Please search the forums for the article before starting a new thread.
And for heaven's sake, please dont look for immigration related news in Indian Newspapers. They dont know that congress has two chambers : House and Senate. And they dont know the common basics of legislative process in USA.

Hi all,
I am currently out of USA.My new employer has submitted H1 Transfer and extension of stay.
The petition has been approved along with new I-94. I have the original I-797 with me .
I understand that we have to surrender I-94 before leaving USA.But in my case I got I-94 after I left USA.Now I need to go for visa stamping in India.
Should I submit the new I-94 to the US consulate in India?
Please advise.
Thank you

Hi
First off, I know that people responding on this forum are spending valuable time answering my questions and very much appreciate the time you spend reading and responding to my requests.
I have the following situation:
1. Currently working on H1B, renewed effective Sep 15 2009 for the next 3 years (i.e. expires 2012 Sep)
2. I-485 filed in Aug 2007, PD of Jan 2006 for EB-2 / India.
3. Received and used Advance Parole in the past year or so to re-enter US (for spouse and me)
4. Have a valid EAD card that will expire October 2010. If relevant, spouse does not work, although she has an EAD card with same validity.
5. I accepted a job offer and expect to start work on Oct 5 2009 with the new company. The new job has a very similar description as the previous and is about the same level as well but higher pay.
My questions are as follows:
1. Should I request the new company to 'transfer' my H1B? What are the benefits and drawbacks of transferring the H1B as against switching to the EAD? What is the filing requirement for the transfer in terms of deadlines (i.e. do I need to have it filed on or before or within certain number of days after Oct 5?)
2. Will I be in violation of the AC-21 requirements ? What will I need to do to continue my GC process. The new employer has agreed to support the GC process and will do what is required.
3. In all this switchover, what documentation should I be requesting from my current employer's law firm? This is a big law firm and may take a few days to respond.
I need to be on point and keep pushing with the new employer as well as with the old one to make sure my legal status is not affected in the US. As such any additional tips / suggestions you have will be great too.
I have tried to provide as much detail as possible but please do let me know if I have missed anything. Again, thank you for your responses.

I have never been to the meeting but will like to attend one if scheduled in future. i think its high time our Chapter schedule meeting with Senators/Congressmen in this area including MD, VA and DC. The President has started the immigration reform initiative and it is right time to make the lawmakers aware of our EB issues. Let me know your thoughts.

Hi,
My wife was in US in Oct 2007 on H4 Visa and went back in Mar '08 while she was in US we applied her H1B in 2008 and was approved and she got her H1B stamped in India and came back to US in Oct 2008. since she did not find any job, her payroll is not running and the her employer wants her to switch back to H4 Visa, and once she finds a project she can change her status back to H1B.
My Question here is
1) For COS from H1B to H4, Does she need Pay stubs? and how easy it is for the COS?
2) Her Employer says that she can apply for H4 Stamping and inform the Visa Officer that during her stay in US she did not join the company for medical reasons. Does this create any issues with her H1B.
3) Can Some one suggest a good immigration Lawyer in San Diego?
Thanks

I am planning to sponsor for my in-laws and have a list of all the required documents, but I have a question about the financial/property documents they need to to take. The reason being, my father-in-law is retired and since then they have been living based on he pension and rental from some of the properties they own and have not filed tax returns.
Will getting the property evaluation and showing cash balance sufficient OR do I need them to take any additional documentation. Their source of income is just the pension and rental properties. Since most of the transactions happen in CASH in India, they don't have bank statements or records to support the rental property, except for the original property documents associated with the rental properties.
Since I am the sponsor, I have got all the required docs from my side both immigration and financial docs properly. I believe, my in-laws also need to get the property and other docs handy to prove the ties back to the home country.
Please advice...
