Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
It's H-1B season and the business immigration attorneys at Fong & Chun are busy once again fielding phone calls and inquiries regarding employment-based visas, including those of L-1 and new company visas. In the past few years, the USCIS and US Department of Labor have suspected newer and small companies of fraud, especially within the immigration system. New procedures and increased scrutiny (http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/2009/04/h1b-quota-still-open.html) of employment-based cases have made H-1B petitions and H-1B visas especially more difficult to attain.
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/Handshake.pngToday's Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703712504576242973187563498.html) ran a story about the very disturbing trend revealed by the Securities and Exchange Commission that small private companies are merging with public shell (dormant) companies instead of going through more rigorous methods of becoming public, avoiding initial public offerings. SEC Commissioner, Luis Aguilar announced that since January 2007, 600 of such "backdoor registrations" occurred and most notably, more than 150 of these occurred in and around China.
It's no secret that the USCIS, as part of the US Department of Homeland Security (USDHS) is engaged in "national security, fraud detection and prevention." The DHS now has an unit attached to it which investigates corporations suspected of defrauding the government specifically through the H-1B program and other visa categories. This has made adjudications of all H-1B applications much more difficult and I believe we will see strict review of all H-1B and work related applications. ---ecf

Hi friends,
I planning to change my employer after 180days and I want go for the fulltime by using my EAD because my I-485 will take next 3 or 4 years (PD May-2007). My present H1 is still Oct 2008 (labor and I-140 cleared).
1. What are the chances for rejecting my I-485 file?
2. If my I-485 file rejected after my H1 expired (EAD using) ?
3. How to settle out this ? Do I need to go back india?
Seniors please provide me suggestions.

Friend of mine, asked me the below question, any one can Help?
I got my H1-B visa stamped in the month of Feb 2007 from US consulate in chennai. I have not yet travelled on that visa, so I am wondering whether the same visa is still valid, as someone told me that if you don't travel on a visa for 6 months after stamping, it gets expired.
TIA,

USCIS website does not shows that my I-485 has been denied but instead it says that it has been sent to AAO office(appeal processing office).
No I have not yet called attorney on extending EAD based on I-140 denial.
------------------------------
Is your 485 also denied? Most of the times when ever 140 is denied then the underlying 485 also gets denied and if that is the case then you cannot apply or extend for EAD or AP until your appeal is pending with AAO. I may be wrong so consult an attorney.
BTW....did you consult the attorney? If yes, what did they tell you?

Shanky,
As you already know, the H4 is only valid as long as your H1 is valid. If companyA has a policy or if in future they decide to revoke h1, then you may not even know.
If I were you , I will go ahead and file for h4 transfer too.

This is key. We've been hearing that the White House was still up in the air between the energy bill and immigration and that one of the two would likely be pushed back until after the election. Now it looks like the White House thinks it can walk and chew gum (presumably after the President's approval ratings are slipping as people sense the White House is not actually keeping any of its promises).

I am getting ready to n-470 to preserve residency. My company is sending me to UAE for one week period which will leads to other long back and forth trips there. I need to file n-470 to preserve residency for naturalization. I have already lived here for more than one year as a permanent resident. My questions are:
1. Where do I find a sample communication letter as a support document?
2. What do I write in it?
Thank you in advance.
rubbing salt on wounds....good job. People are waiting from 2002 for Green Card and you're asking naturalization issues.

6. Send this form to:

Hello sdouglas,
That is a problem with Swift and not with your PC configuration. I'm not sure why it would freeze or lockup when importing files. My best advice would be for you to uninstall Swift 3D and re-install it again. The problem should usually be solved. If the problem appears, it could be an error external to that of Swift.
Try re-installing your graphics card drivers if re-installing Swift does not solve the problem. If all else fails, try asking Electric Rain for help. It could be a bug =)

Big goof up on AP document, my spouses document had my alien number. Thankfully, they recognized it as a USCIS mistake and let her in. She had to wait 3 hours for processing, they also took both AP forms and set up and appointment at USCIS office in SF.
I have to go to SF tomorrow. Couple of qns that some one may be able to answer
1) What should i expect tomorrow?
2) When im there can i ask them any question regarding the status of my case?
On a separate note, i heard from a friend that AP is getting approved in 15 days now. Is that a one off case?
Thx

"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.

hi, i just got my receipt and fingerprint apointment for the I-485 (mine is a family petition with the I-130 approved) couples of weeks ago(my fingerprint apointment is next week), and yesterday i got a letter with request of evidence that says;
The Household menber (me) on form 864A, Contract between Sponsor and Household Member provided a different address from the petitioner/sponsor on form 864A, Afiidavit of support an/or is not listed as dependent on the petitioner/sponsor's federal income tax return.
Please submit evidense that the household member listed on form I-864A, lives at the same address as the petitioner/sponsor or was listed as dependent on the petitioner/sponsor's federal income tar return
I want to know what can i sent in order to prove that i live in the same house. My stepdad (my peticioner) couldn't put me in his tax because they said he couldn't because i don't have a social security number yet. Do the guy who does our taxes make a letter stating i live there but could'nt be included in the taxes? or should my stepdad do it? or does mail could be consider evidence or a copy of my drivers license with the same address?
My mom went throught the same, they kept asking her for more evidence but eventually she got all her papers. I wish this could be more easy.
I really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Can Gurus please help me with this:
Where do I mail out the packets for EAD and AP renewal (paper extensions)? Can you please tell me whether the packet should be mailed to a service center where previous EAD and AP were approved or whether it depends on the state I live in?
Please note, my original EAD, AP and I-485 were sent to NSC which were transferred to TSC internally (by USCIS) and now my I-485 is pending in TSC.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi guys,
My LCA got denied today (reason unknown) and my H1-B has expired on Nov. 1 as well. :(
I also have a pending I-485 petition with approved I-140. I also have a valid EAD. So I assume, I am currently shifted to AOS pending status working on EAD.
My question is whether this denial negatively affects my pending I-485 application? I assume not but just wanted to confirm anyways :confused:
Thanks for you responses.

Is the postal address same for EAD & AP renewal for e-Filers.
The forms that printed out for EAD & AP renewal for e-Filers shows same address to send the supporting documents.
And only EAD needs the 2 photos right not the AP for e-Filers.

You cannot. They only deal with your employer or its atterney in your case.
