Is there anyway we could include EB immigration relief in the Economic Stumilus Package announced by President Bush by bringing up creative pointers such as more greencards = more small businesses, more greencards = more home buyers, etcetera ? I see a faint chance here. With the urgency to kick start the economy, if we can get something on the bill, it will pass and will become a law fast.
Am I out of my mind or is this feasible.

Great tip from AILA for our H1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) filers trying to beat the rush. Because you cannot submit an LCA earlier than six months prior to the beginning date of the period of intended employment (20 CFR � 655.730(b)), if you want your LCA in hand before April 1, then set your employment start date on the LCA for a date in September, and set the expiration date for a date no more than three years hence. File the I-129 with a start date of October 1, but with an expiration date that coincides with the expiration date of the LCA. You will lose a couple of days on the back end of the petition by doing this, but you will get the LCA filed and back before April 1.
Example:
LCA start date: 9/1/10
LCA end date: 8/31/13
Form I-129 start date: 10/1/10
Form I-129 end date: 8/31/13
Due to delays in receiving approved LCAs, take the proper precautions and file your LCA early to avoid any undue delays.
Although under certain circumstances USCIS has agreed to accept H-1B petitions for processing that include LCAs that have not been certified, attorneys should understand that if the LCA submitted with the H-1B petition is eventually denied, the H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) will be denied, even if a subsequent certified LCA is submitted. This is even true where the denial is due to DOL error in not being able to verify a petitioner's FEIN. However, USCIS has also indicated that if the sole reason for failing to apply for an Extension of Status or Change of Status is due to DOL delay in the certification process, USCIS may look at the totality of the circumstances in determining whether to accept the late filing.
Bottom line is that getting an approved LCA before April 1, 2010 is crucial. Pay attention to detail and get the files ready in advance is a must.

Hello guys,
If the employer is not willing to share your I-140 approval status with you, is there a way to find out this information from other sources?
I currently have my 485 & AP numbers but do not have I-140 number to track on the USCIS website.
Thanks for help in advance.
post the employer name and address so that other people will be careful working for him and also if employer comes to know about IV, he will stop these kind of things

Well you can Jump start a car whose battery is dead but rest of the electrical system is good.
So after the jump start when engine starts it keeps running on alternator.
Economy's electical wiring (Financial system) is in a big mess so jump start may not work. ;)

India has expressed its concern to the Chinese government over Beijing issuing visas on a separate sheet of paper to Indian nationals from Jammu and Kashmir instead of stamping them in their passports. Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), India strongly believes this, as a well-thought-out strategy to question the status of its state Jammu and Kashmir. It has been issuing visas stapled to passports to people from Arunachal Pradesh who have traveled to China since 2007.
MEA spokesperson Vishnu Prakash says �We have conveyed our concern to the Chinese government in this regard. It is our considered view and position that there should be no discrimination against visa applicants of Indian nationality on grounds of domicile or ethnicity.�
It�s not clear when the Chinese started issuing visas on a separate sheet of paper to Indian travelers of Kashmir. The matter came to light when immigration authorities at New Delhi International Airport, India turned away Kashmiris carrying the standalone visas, assuming they were fakes. The Chinese embassy however issued letters confirming that it had issued valid visas. The matter was then brought to MEA�s notice, prompting it to take up the issue with Beijing. Immigration authorities have been directed to treat the standalone visas as invalid.
This is just to brought some Immigration development in other parts of world. We strongly belief that both the Asian neighbors will resolve such issues amicably soon.

Hello,
I have already posted this message on labor related post but no one answered.
What is the current processing time for Labor petition?
Also is it true that every labor application goes to Atlanta Processing Center irrespective of your home location/company location?
This what was told by my company.
Could you please answer my questions.

The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) has applauded the brainstorm of ideas in a draft memo from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The now-public draft, leaked without the permission of USCIS, examines the legal framework of immigration and explores possible solutions. AILA commends this reflection of the pursuit of the rule of law and the willingness of USCIS leadership to take up this thorough examination.
"We have in the past seen many attempts to scour the law to find justification for draconian, and ultimately unhelpful, ways to make immigrants' lives miserable," said AILA president David Leopold. "This draft document tries to think through ways to make the legal immigration system work in support of sensible law enforcement. It respects the law and respects the people who must deal with the law. For that, the administration is to be congratulated, even if none of the proposals is ever carried out." He added that many of these proposals should be carried out. Long-needed regulations to help children and crime victims caught in the system should be published. Men and women fighting for America in the U.S. military should have the comfort of knowing that their families are safe from being deported. Immigration policies that encourage investment in America and creation of jobs should be emphasized and expanded. These are but a few of several excellent proposals in this document.
"We will never effectively address illegal immigration until we develop a legal immigration system that actually works and that offers people a realistic alternative to illegality," added AILA Executive Director Crystal Williams. "Congress has thus far refused to act. Administration officials at least are trying to find ways to help fill this vacuum," Williams stated.

Guys, my details are:
PD Apr'07 EB2
I-140 Filed May'07, pending
I-485 Filed Jul'07
Please help me with:
1) Assuming 140 is approved before changing the current job under AC21, what are the things the new firm has to file. Does the new firm have to file 140 again? I presume that labor and 485 stays intact..pl help folks.
2) I will complete 6 mths of 485 filing in Jan-08. If 140 gets approved around Jan-Feb'08, is there any risk if I change my employer after that under Ac21. Does it hurt if the present firm withdraws 140 after approval?
Sincere thanks in advance.

PD: EB2 India - Jun03
I140 approved: Nov 05
I-485 applied: Jun 05
FP1: Jul 05
FP2: May 07
AC21: Job changed twice (Jun 06 and Apr 07). Sent EVL to USCIS both times with 'same job description' but 'different job title'.
This morning I received USCIS email alert for both my wife and I.
My I-485 application got a RFE. "We mailed you a notice requesting additional evidence". Will have to wait for the formal letter for the details. :(
My wife's I-485 application however was transferred to Newark NJ for interview. "This case has been sent for a standard interview." :confused:
I have a ton of questions at this stage. here are few in you gurus can help me while I am waiting for the RFE letter.
1) Will the RFE letter be mailed to me or my attorney ? what has been ur experience? do you get it in one week ?
2) why USCIS has split the processing of my I-485 and my wife's I-485. Her I-485 is transfered to Newark, NJ while mine is pending at TSC (now waiting for RFE response).
3) How much time will I have to respond to the RFE? Based on the new guidelines (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_timrfe.html) , I expect that to be stated in the RFE letter.
thanks in advance.

Strange but its true.. Height of stupidity. Read the story below:
http://webtracy.blogspot.com/2008/02/california-mechanics-liens-homebuyers.html?ref=patrick.net
As a home buyer or even as an owner you should be aware of this. But I am a bit puzzled by this story. Usually the title insurance that you get at the time of buying home is supposed to cover any such issues. In this case may be they did not get title insurance or their title insurance didn't cover enough amount.
Also as a home owner, if you get some work/improvements done at your home by a contractor make sure you get a signed declaration from him every time you pay him. The declaration should say that he has paid all his workers their dues and that he will be responsible for any payment disputes arising later if any.

"In a recent panel discussion at the Library of Congress, Bill Gates suggested to "get rid of the H-1B visa caps," finding the numerical limitation for technology workers "questionable," suggesting that "the theory behind the H-1B" (cap) is "too many smart people are coming" to temporarily work in this country."
I wonder if the richest man in the world can understand and feel the pain about this why it is so hard for sen. and congress. Why corporations like microsoft is not stepping up.

Dear Lawyers,
I am a registered professional civil engineer in the state of PA having an educational background of a BS from India and MS from the US in civil engineering. I got my H1B extension approved last year for its second term of three years. I have been working in the same company since my graduation and also hold an approved I-140. I am planning to visit India in March to get my visa stamping done and am concerned about the reports of valid H1B holders being returned from Newark. Do you think I should avoid Newark as the PoE?
Thanks and regards,
Nishant

thanks to everyone here for the kind input, I am almost done with my GC application under NIW. Since I have a load of documents for primary evidence,
how should I arrange them and where should I mention the "table of contents" so to speak. I have a detailed cover letter also.
thanks,

INS prefers or should I use the term "requires" a certain way of organizing documents using certain clips. You can search online for them. They do this because it helps in filing them the documents at their office.

You can't check PERM status online. But you can get 'PERM Disclosure Data' in Access or TXT format form the following URL:
FLCDataCenter.com (http://www.flcdatacenter.com/CasePerm.aspx)
You can search for all cases approved for your employer in this database or text file.
Hope this helps. Good Luck!!
