Dear Vatsa,
I'll tell you what it takes.
It takes strength, both in membership and money. And the former helps bring the latter.
Please help introduce a member to IV by Jan 15th. Help create our own voice (to break the annoying silence that you talk about).
Encourage others to participate in the Add ONE Member campaign started by IV.
Thank you.
Absolutely right. Join the Add a member campaign. We already achieved a minor goal of becoming 8000 strong way before the goal-date of Jan15th. But we really need to be 10,000+ strong.

I am on H1B visa and my wife has filed N400. We have been married for 1 year and 2 months. she just gave her finger printing on June 10th. we have not yet filed I130 petition as of yet as we were thinking to do that after she gets her citizenship. But today I got laid off from work and the immigration officer mentioned that my wife should file I130 ASAP to avoid deportation. In form I30 On line Item 15 it says to enter the name and address of present employer. I got laid of from work on June 19 today and my wife is filing this I130 petition on Monday June 23. My termination letter indicates june 19th date. I will receive my last pay stub on July 3rd.
Should I put the name of the current employer on line 15 or should I say "unemployed" and explain in a seperate piece of paper about recent layoff? I will be out of status and will be inviting immigration if I mentioned that. Please help.

I am in a very Bad situation it seems, please help.
I am working in US on L1B visa and Wife on L2. then Wife got a Job and her employer filled her 485.
In the mean time I applied for H1 (through a consultant, to get out of the L1B company). Looks like the H1 Got Approved. Now, I think the problem is, If I switch to H1, then she will loose her job and our chance of Getting EAD will go.
I do NOT want to go for H1, but EAD Is important to me. Is there a Way I can keep my L1? (so that my wife can keep her job)

Hi
My 6 years of H1B visa expires on Feb 2012. Can I transfer to H4 Dependant Visa on my wife's H1b Visa or F1 Visa for one year and after one year re-apply for a fresh H1B visa? or I have to go outside USA for one year and then Apply for fresh H1B Visa.
Thanks,
Raja

A lot of people have filed on July 2 and still haven't received their FP notice while my husband and I filed July 6 and we're scheduled for FP tomorrow. My brother who filed on July 26 also received his FP notice last Friday. USCIS is really unpredictable nowadays so who knows how long it takes to generate FP notices. Hopefully you'll get yours soon too. :o
How much time does it take on an average to generate a FP notice from the receipt notice date and when does the actual FP take place?

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. I guess, there isn't really a sure way of ensuring J1 visa stamping given my situation.

I have searched the internet on this and had no luck.. i'm 20 weeks pregnant and Canadian married to a USC. I went for my medical today and had all of my backup for vaccinations / immunity but the immigration doctor wants me to get a tetanus shot. All information on the web says this is "safe" during pregnancy, however I am completely opposed to having a vaccination while pregnant or breast-feeding due to potential issues vaccinations can cause (eg: autism in children). While this is not readily "accepted" by the medical community, it is how I feel. Some very high profile people have talked about vaccinations and the dangers they can cause but the medical community seems to reject their logic (not enough studies.. who knows).
I don't feel that I should be subjected to this when I'm so opposed to it - I know I can apply for a "moral objection" but I can't find any information as to whether USCIS actually acknowledges these objections.
Has anyone out there been in a similar situation or know of how I can get an exemption from this during my pregnancy / breast-feeding stage?
Thanks everyone!

hi, first, I'm not trolling. I have a genuine question and I'm looking for answers seriously. I got laid off in 2009 while on a h1b and then for one reason or another, stayed back for 8 months. My understanding was that I could have gotten a new job within 6 months and then switched over my h1b. I was foolish. My I-94 on the h1b approval letter however had an expiration date of October 2011. By the time 8 months had gone by, I decided it was time to give up hope and return to my country.
Since I've been here, my parents have started a campaign to get me a bride. Arranged marriages are part of my culture, and people marry based on how good a match it is according to one's birthchart. If I do find a USC who is willng too marry me, will it help me in any way immigration wise? Or will my 8 months out of status stay in USA chase me for the rest of my life?
Already I have answered your question. the onus is on you to prove that you are not marrying for GC or USC and your marriage is genuine. If the US consulate or USCIS becomes suspicious..they wont give your any chance...no matter what. There are cases where one married to the USC and have US born kids...still not able to get the GC and facing deportation and spending good amount time with attorney and immigration court.

I have received an RFE on my I-485 application to provide a copy of birth certificate. However, I have submitted the birth certificate and affidavits from my parents when I filed for I-485.
I am from India. Since the name is put after few months of birth, my name is not present in the birth certificate. I am not sure if the RFE is due to this. But all the (or most) people from India would be in the same zone, right (not having name in birth certificate) ?
Is anyone in the same situation as me ? What kind of documents have you submitted for the birth certificate requirement ?
Here is my RFE
==========
The documentation submitted is not sufficient to warrant favorable consideration of your petetion/application.
....
Submit a copy of your birth certificate showing your parentage, which has been registered with the proper civil authorities of the country of your birth.
You said, you have a birth certificate without name. I guess, you can apply to local birth certificate issuing agency and get a new one with name. If the birth is registered properly (in your case, it is as you have the certificate), it seems possible.

One can have more than one H1B at a time. So you can ask the second company file for transfer too. If you worry about the first petition, and you feel comfortable to do so, talk about it with the attorney of the second company. Or, you can call USCIS and ask a immigration officer.
I joined a new employer in May and also had applied for H1B transfer at that time. Now I have a very good offer from another firm but my first H1B transfer is still pending. The new offer is much more rewarding financially. Is it possible to apply for H1 B transfer to the new employer without jeopardizing my H1B status. Please note that I got laid off in April and I was in a hurry to get the new job then, it was also about just over a month when I applied for my H1B transfer since losing that job so I am kind of nervous about the results from USCIS.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions, friends!

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/177934_bus_queue_v.jpgMajor news for relatives of legal permanent residents who have been patiently waiting for their petitions to become current. The Department of State reported in the September 2010 visa bulletin (http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5113.html) that applicants who are spouses or children of greencard holders (filed as late as January 1, 2010) can now be processed for greencards. This is true for applicants from all countries except Mexico and the Dominican Republic, whose priority dates aren't far behind either: January 1, 2009.
What is a a "priority date," you ask? A "priority date" is a legal term of art that can be exceedingly hard to explain (especially in a blog), but I'll try. Let's start with basics. There is a quota on how many immigrants can come legally to the country per year. Imagine the quota like it is a long line of people lining up for a greencard. The people at the front of the line are those whose relative petitions were filed earliest, ie those with the earliest "priority date." A priority date is established on the date that your petition is received by the USCIS. Of course, the earlier your priority date, the sooner you can later ask for greencard status. Generally, priority dates always move forward, but these dates can also go backwards, and if applications aren't received by USCIS before this "retrogression" happens, applicants are back to the waiting game.
In the past month, the (F2A) priority date in the the family-based second preference category (ie for spouses and children of greencard holders) advanced from March 2009 to January 2010! This has made an incredible difference to those who have been waiting to be reunited with their spouses and children, rather than expecting a year or more of wait, this category of new immigrants can now start processing their greencard applications. If you would like assistance in making sure that your application can be made as quickly as possible, contact the attorneys at Fong & Chun, LLP before those dates retrogress. --ecf

hello experts..
My husband and I are working on H1B visa.My husband has filed for Green card..
Now my question is at what stage in my husdband's Green card process, will I be eligible for the visa extension
if 6 years on H1B are over??
None. to extend your H1 you need your own employment-based-GC process. But if you have alreayd filed I-485, you dont need an H1, you can continue working on an EAD based on his green card process.
If I also file for the green card, I get labor cleared and just in case I lose the job.Then what options I have
for visa extension?
If your company is willing to continue your GC (unlikely if you lose your job there) then you can get extension while that LC is valid (labor remains valid for 180 days, during which an I-140 must be filed). If you get past I-140 approval with this company, then you can use taht I-140 for extensions as long as this company does not revoke the I-140.
If I join another company do I have to have again labor cleared to get additional visa extension
at the completion of 6 year?what happens to priority date,can I use earlier GC filing priority date?
Yes, you would need to restart the labor unless the previous company gets to I-140 approved stage and is willing to not revoke it. If you get I-140 with current employer, that priority-date is yours for future GC applications also. If you dont get to I-140 approval, then the date does not carry over to the new GC application
Many thanks..

I have filed my H1B extension on November as my H1B is expiring on 23rd Feb.
I haven't got my approval yet. I have currently EAD and my I140 approved.
My question is if I don't get my approval on or before 23rd Feb what will happen to my status?
My Lawyer said once you filed you have 140 days (or 160 days forgot) for approval meaning even if it does not get approved on or before I will be on H1B till I complete 140 days from date of filling. Otherwise I will be on EAD status.
Please advise.

What a shameful story. DOJ announcement on the indictment of six individuals (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/04/us/04trafficking.html) for engaging in a conspiracy to commit forced labor and document servitude. The charges arise from the defendants� alleged scheme to coerce the labor and services of approximately 400 Thai nationals to work on U.S. farms.
The Justice Department announced that a federal grand jury in Honolulu
indicted Mordechai Orian, an Israeli national; Pranee Tubchumpol, Shane Germann and Sam
Wongsesanit of Global Horizons Manpower Inc., located in Los Angeles; and Thai labor
recruiters Ratawan Chunharutai and Podjanee Sinchai for engaging in a conspiracy to commit
forced labor and document servitude. The charges arise from the defendants� alleged scheme tocoerce the labor and services of approximately 400 Thai nationals brought by the defendants to the United States from Thailand from May 2004 through September 2005 to work on farms
across the country under the U.S. federal agricultural guest worker program. Orian, Tubchumpol and Chunharutai are also charged with three substantive counts of compelling the
labor of three Thai guest workers.
If convicted, Orian and Tubchumpol each face maximum sentences of 7 0 years in prison,
Chunharutai faces a maximum sentence of 65 years in prison, Germann and Wongsesanit each face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, and Sinchai, who was recently charged in Thailand with multiple counts of recruitment fraud, faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison if convicted in the United States.
Instead of achieving the American dream, the workers arrived into an American nightmare. This company forced them to live groups of men in labor camps, charging each of them thousands of dollars and forbidding them from living off company grounds. Instead of permanent residency and green cards, the workers received temporary, ten-month H-2B guest worker visas, which allow no path to more permanent status. And since H-2B visas bind workers to a single employer, company answered workers� complaints with threats of deportation. Such acts are in contrary to the spirit of the H2B visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137785.html) and we call for harsh punishment for these individuals.
