I am sure IV has thought about this...
But just curious if there are any mainstream News channels or Media that is covering or publishing anything about the IV Advocacy event and IV's agenda?
thx
The aim of advocacy day was to meet lawmakers. It was not really for media publicity. It was not a rally. Infact we canceled the press event that we originally planned to focus on lawmaker meetings. There are already hundreds of articles in the media on Greencard backlogs published in the last 4 years. Articles will anyways be published when there is activity in DC on this issue. Reporters contact us every now and then for stories. The most important work we need to do is meet our lawmakers in person and get relief on Immigration. We believe we have been very successful in the task of meeting lawmakers and administration officials during the advocacy days. This will help us in the Immigration reform next year. We now need to continually work on reinforcing and advocating our changes until the bill comes on the floor. You will see lots of media articles on this issue when there is any discussion on relief in the months to come.

1. The title noted on the labor form was "Associate". On the job description letter, is it ok if the title is noted as "Financial Associate Analyst". Plus my labor was approved as IS Manager. Would the "financial" title cause a problem?
2. My lawyer put a very generic sentence as my job description. Does my job experience letter have to have the exact same generic sentence in it? and is it ok if the letter has more duties on it other than the one mentioned on the labor form (i did different stuff at that job, finance, IT, sales etc)
3. My lawyer put the required degree on the labor form as "Computer Science". However; I have a MIS degree. Is that going to be a problem when applying for i140?

I was initially issued pp for 5 years in India. Last year in '08 when it was expiring, i sent application for renewal of passport (NY Consulate) based on my EAD. However, instead of renewing it for another 5 years they renewed it for 1 year only. When I called the office, they said that they receive tons of pp's lon EAD which can be renewed for a year only.
Did anybody face this same problem? Can I apply for new passport based on I-485 receipt and would they issue passport for another 5 or 10 years?
Thanks in advance
In this economy you need to generate good revenue - this is a good revenue for Indian missions'.
BTW, As far as I heard from Indian Consular Officer in Chicago - Indian Mission has a right to issue a 1 year passport, if (1) Your previous passport had < 10 yr validity or (2) you are on a temporary visa (like visiting or tourist) trying to renew it in overseas or (3) you have not stayed outside India continuously for 3 years.

My I-485 is pending, was filed in July, 07. My PD is June, 04 (EB2 India). I-140 is approved. I have to leave the US for a year to work on an expat assignment beginning last week of December, 07. I have my EAD and AP. Also, I am on a valid H1-B until May, 2008 but will be applying for an extension until May, 2009.
Please let me know your thoughts if it would be ok for me to leave the US for a continuous period of one year while my I-485 is pending? I plan to renter the US on H-1B and not EAD/AP.
Also, does one need to be physically present in the US to renew EAD and AP? My EAD and AP will expire in September, 07 but will I be able to renew them when I am back in Jan,09?
For the period I am gone, do I need to pay any taxes on my foreign-earned income if I am going to a jurisdiction with which India has a favorable tax treaty? If my I-485 is pending but I am not working in the US, I do not need to pay taxes for the income earned abroad if I do not meet the "substantial prsence test" (183 days)?
Any thoughts will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
This is my case:
1. Came to States on H1B in Jan 2005 thru company A. Worked with company A till July 2005
2. Successfully transferred H1B to company B. Started working with them from July 2005. New I 797 was valid till July 2008. Filed for H1b Ext with company B in Feb 2008.
3. Came to visit India in May 2008 and also to stamp the H1b which was valid till July 2008 thru company B. Got RFE in Indian consulate in Bombay on June 2008 so couldnt travelled back to States.
4. RFE got cleared in Aug 2008 and by that time my H1B expired. Company B received an RFE on H1B extension. They said they cant reply for some reasons and they withdrew the application.
5. In Dec 2008, I filed for H1b extension from company C. Got an RFE to prove the legal status on H1B ext.
Please suggest, what are the chances of getting an approval. I know its little trickier but a straight forward case.
Regards
You might need to provide the pay stubs and copies of I-94. check with lawyer for anything else.

Yes for H1B you are entitled to get Return ticket back to your home country if you are being laid off or fired. Last year my earlier employer offer me return ticket to home contry. They specified that we are offering as per the clause or law of H1B visa. Offcourse I didnt accept it but you cant get money for not accepting this return ticket offer.
Hope this help

I would return home to Canada. I am not sure of the immigration policies in India :)
Could you point me to chapter and verse from some official DOL or USCIS website?
Thanks.

The other day, three guys, a Pakistani, an Indian, and a Czech, and one Serb girl (originally from the beautiful city of Belgrade) met the staff of their American lawmakers, to tell them about the problems faced by the EB-immigrant community due to backlogs and insanely low visa numbers for EB-greencards.
You can't get more American than this.
My experience with the meetings with the lawmakers' staff has been very positive. I approached it with nervousness; however, the staff has ALWAYS been extremely polite, sincere and encouraging. They listen to us, and engage in meaningful discussions and question answer sessions with us. Quite often, we are told that this was the first time that our point of view was being told to them. We ask them what advice they have for us. And they all ALWAYS tell us to (a) talk to other lawmakers and (b) call them frequently, as they provide daily totals and tallys on pro-vs-anti calls on different issues to their bosses.
So folks. We still have time. We have a few weeks. Please (a) join together and form state chapters, (b) educate yourself, (c) call the lawmakers offices (d) meet the lawmakers and (e) do all this within the next few days.
Too often we take a fatalistic approach towards issues. Other times, nervousness and fear renders us incapacitated. Be proud of the fact that we are a diverse group of high-skilled immigrants. We are educated professionals. We are doctors, engineers, scientists, and other professionals.
It is our duty, as intelligent and educated professionals, to tell the lawmakers that we are facing problems, and to request them to fix those problems, since they have the power to do so.

If your 485 is denied, all derivative benefits like EAD/AP are also lost. You therefore can't use EAD for another job even if 6 months have elapsed.

As your H1 B expires on Sep 2009 , it is good to apply for your H1 B extension with the current employer as you have a valid client. Request your client to provide a supporting document/letter for your extension . If the client needs to hire you, you could transfer after the extension. Use the client reference to get your extension as soon as possible.

Hi Guys,
I am also thinking abt applying for Canada PR?How much would it cost? Is location specific?
Again, looking at the website might help u more get the whole picture and all the details, than asking a question or two on forums http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp
The cost varies by family size. For a family of 4, in the beginning u'll need 1000-2000 for application fees and to prepare ur documents. one or two years later, you'll need another 1000-2000 for medical exams and landing/visa fees.
If you apply to the federal program, you are allowed to go anywhere except quebec. There is also a provincial program in each province that allows u to immigrate to that province, but then again u can move later..

Hi
When renewing EAD paper filing not E-file, I had written the check in favor of USCIS instead of "U.S.Department of Homeland security" , do you think there would be a issue for them to accept the cheque?

this is just like what people talk about IRS. I got packet in mail asking to contact immediatly field officer at local office regarding 2006 tax returns. Thinking worst, I didn't even go beyond subject line and everybody I talked or told, scared me to death. Finally, I mustered up courage to go line-by-line. Didn't understand what they were talking about and neither did the notice had my name or SSN. So left with no-choice, called IRS and found that documents were for previous resident!
Lession for me (and all) ... if you haven't done anything wrong intentially, their is nothing to be afraid about.

You can work 2 jobs as long as you have...2 H1 visas, one for each job!!
That could be 2 part-time or 1 full time and 1 part-time.
I believe there could be a problem if you have 2 full-time H1 jobs at the same time...

I can not take infopass appointment as I don't have receipt number. Alos, I called up USCIS and they informed me that it is taking longer time for entry and so far they don't see my EAD and AP entries in their system. Although they have received I-485 which was sent along EAD/AP. I just wondering if anyone come across similar sitaution, also does it make sense to file EAD/AP again without any further waiting ?
Once you call USCIS on the 1-800-375-5283, try the following option sequence:
1-2-2-6 (key your 485's receipt number) -1-1 (listen to the case status) -3-4.
The last option (#4) enables you to get to an IO since you "filed a few applications together and think that some of them got seperated or lost".
If you already tried the above and it was not fruitful, please disregard this post.
