The New York Times published a poll this week that only 30% of Americans would like to see the twelve million illegally present immigrants in the US deported. And 65% would like to see them legalized either on a temporary basis or given a path to eventual citizenship. In fact, while the number wanting to see legalization dropped by one percent since the same question was asked in late 2007, a significantly higher percentage polled preferred a path to citizenship versus temporary status. For all of those saying that the public won't accept legalization during a severe economic downturn, the...

Hi,
My mom is scheduled for an interview for a visitor visa at US Consulate, Chennai. My mom is 70 years old and she will be the only person attending for the interview. She has not travelled a lot and she will not be able to figure out everything that is needed inside the consulate before and after the interview by herself. Now - my question is - Can my mom take anyone (say a relative) with her inside the consulate for help?
Appreciate your help!

Thank you for the info! Should I give my lawyer a heads up or not worry about changing address on the application (if they still can do that)?
Changing your address using AR-11 does not affect any existing petition. To change your address on any outstanding application you need to call the USCIS customer service number. So relax, this has no effect on your application.

It looks like the rumors are no more circulating of people being deported.
There are no posts on the forum about it. So either there are no deportations now or people have realized that they were only rumors.

I know we are pouring our ideas in different threads including one who supports our cause like name/news of senators/rep with grades, companies (employers), univ, associations, news reporters, talk show host, media, etc.
So I thought of creating this thread just to compile list of one who support the bill (or) one who we can convince our cause to support us, etc. This will definetly help the IV core team.
I know IV core team is aware of (or working with) most of the supporters, but still each new addition counts to our success.
for e.g., I read an article few days ago "1986 bill authors make a final push" in IV news article thread (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/14/AR2006091401179.html) which talks about the opinion of "1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act - IRCA, or the Simpson-Mazzoli bill" authors Romano L. Mazzoli (was a Democratic representative from Kentucky) and Alan K. Simpson (was a Republican senator from Wyoming.)
after reading this, today I thought, might be an idea to contact these former senators, who can voice our genuine legal immigration concerns. Definitely they will have friends in capitol hill on both parties who will listen to them and also people are talking more often about them now than ever. this will help us in great deal. IV core team: please contact these former senators and pitch for the immigration reforms.
so please come up with the list of people or organisation, etc....whom you can think will help our cause in this thread.

Same thing happened with me - My labor was approved from Phily BEC on Mar 16th 07 and my company kept saying that didn't receive anything till Apr 16th 07...
Then i was impatient and called Phily BEC and they were very nice to explain me that it can take upto 1.5 months to 2 months for my company to receive via Lawyer. In fact it may take 1 month for Phily BEC to mail - he explained.
Eventually my company received the Labor papers on May 7th 07....
Hope this story helps.

How long on average does it take to get labor approval into my lawyers' hands from BEC once it is approved (certified status shown on the BEC website).

When I went to my county health dept to get vaccination shots (for medical exam), they asked me to see the civil surgeon first, "else you will pay lot more for shots that you do not need". I gave them the standard list (MMR, Polio, DTaP, Influenza type B, Hepatitis B), and there are a few more in (page 3 of) I-693 form (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-693.pdf). Someone on this thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5553) (second-last post) says you may need a shorter list based on your age group. Did anyone recently take these shots, and can she/he give the correct list here?
Thanks.
I only took TDaP (Adacel) shot. For MMR, Hepatitis B and Chicken Pox I had a blood test which showed that I am immune. You do not need polio shot.

I applied for H1b visa transferred in Nov 08 inspite of not having recent pay stubs. After applying transfer, I started working for new employer.
Last week I got query from USCIS asking my latest pay stubs (Oct 08) and yesterday I got Laid off from my new job after working for 4 months (till Feb 09).
My husband is on L1B visa.
In my case
1. Shall I consider transferring to L2? for this do I need to go to my home country (India) for L2 stamp?
2. If COS to L2 is approved, Can I work on my old H1B again if I find an employer who is ready for transfer?
3. If I travel to my home country(India), will my H1B visa be cancelled? as currently i don't have any H1B approval.
4. Whether the Request For Evidence(REF) on my H1B transfer will have any implication on L2 stamping?
Please help ..

Immigration-law.com posted the news saying that
Wall Street (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118455917060167397.html?mod=home_whats_news_us) Journal reports this morning that the USCIS is poised to announce its change of initial decision to reject all the July 2007 EB-485 new cases. The report indicates that they intend to accept and process some early July filing cases. Please stay tuned. Hmm...................................

This is getting ridiculous...losing my patience
I think a controlled slow movement is good at the beginning of the year. Last year they had made, for example, EB2 India as April 2004 but they had to make it U after 1st quarter.
So, a controlled slow movement will leave to more un-used numbers in the 3rd quarter when they will then be forced to make big jumps in dates to use up annual visa numbers

Hi,
I am currently residing in US on H-4 visa. My husband is on H-1 visa and our Green Card processing is in progress - our
I-140 has been approved. Our priority date is in May 2008.
The current "priority dates" for EB-3 as per USCIS is April-2001. Based on this, When can we expect our "485" to be filed and our EAD to be approved ?
I have a law degree from India (12+3+3) and currently I am pursuing a paralegal program from an ABA approved university. I might loose my job oppurtunities if I don't have a work permit. Is there anyway that I can get a work permit with my pending GC application process, without hampering the GC process ? Can I get a work visa (or EAD) based on my education ?
Thanks,
BS

USCIS had been given strict guidelines to process all cases within a six month timeframe depending on the type of the case. But many cases have come to light which are not seeing the light of the day.
How about filing our taxes on April 16, but not on April 15.
Exactly what is your logic? There is no law against their getting delayed in completing a case in 6 months. There is a law for not submitting taxes on time. That is why I think this argument is not very valid. I can see your frustration with the delays at USCIS, however, and sympathize with it.

Hi,
I have received the EAD card yesterday with No finger prints available. But we have done our Finger printing before the EAD is approved. Approx 4 weeks before.
Is this normal? Or i should contact USCIS about this?
I know some applicants getting their EAD cards before finger prints were taken for them No finger prints available makes sense.
Any responses are appreciated
Regards.
Same happened to me. I had my FP before receiving the EAD card but the card still showed FP not available. To be honest I didnt care so much ;)

Hi,
I am in the following situation.
1. I am going to complete my 6yrs of stay ( L1 period + H1 period) in USA by Dec 2008 (after adding my vacation time in India).
2. I got H1 valid till June 2010 and got stamped on passport that valid till June 2010.
( USCIS approved H1 for me till 2010 eventhou I complete 6yrs by end of 2008)
3. My LC was electronically filed in September 2007 in EB2 category in Chicago DOL. Got Audit in October 2007 on Business Necessity ground and was replied within due date.
4. After several months of waiting (Audit response was accepted), it was denied on the following reason. "The internal job posting was not as per the DOL regulations".
5. My Lawyer said, the notice that was submitted was in the proper format-the exact format specified by the regulations that applied for reconsideration
He also mentioned that, he filed LC for other candidates with same job posting and got approval on their cases.
6. Now, Atlanta is processing all permanent Labors. As there is a huge back log at Atlanta processing center, My lawyer suggested to apply a new application rather waiting on this reply.
7. we need wait another 2 months ( for job ads and wait for response ) before even we can apply for new LC. even we apply some time in September 2008. I should get an approval immediately (as I am going to complete 6 yrs) otherwise I will be in trouble.
Given the scenario, what are my options as I am on time crunch.....?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

There are easily 100000 of us here in the line. If we are all given GC's would it work in the national interest?
Specifically, there are three tests for national interest. Refer to this link for a more comprehensive explanation:
Miller Mayer - National Interest Waivers (http://www.millermayer.com/Immigration/ImmigrantVisas/NationalInterestWaiver/NationalInterestWaivers/tabid/224/Default.aspx)
1: Work of "Substantive Intrinsic merit": Basically any work is bound to have some merit, and can probably be quantified to prove that it is potentially worth billions
2: National in scope: Any work done that can be replicated all over the country and benefit a lot of people, or applied everywhere
3: Applicant should be more productive than his colleagues
Collectively, do we meet these criteria? Point by point:
1. Gather details of each and every one's project, past and present, and state the intrinsic merits
2. Include explanations on how the projects and technologies, if or when applied globally, would make a difference
3. Maybe, if you have an approved labor, this can be taken care of
And if we include all of our applications as one, and mention the economic benefits of our migrating, and submit a single application, or several as a whole, do we stand a chance of getting approved for a GC based on National Interest Waiver?
In principle, do you believe that our immigration is in the national interest?

If you don't have photo copy then ask your lawyer, they always keeps copy of 485 documents before sending to USCIS. you should be able to get another one from India.
Hi folks,
My baddest of the bad phases started recently when I lost my wife's birth certificate from India. Worst part is we dont have backup (no photo copies of it).
Anyways, We are waiting in the 485 queue, working on EADs. Question to all folks, do still need birth certificate now for the green card process, as we have already sent the application?
And how bad it is with redtape/corruption in India, to get another birth certificate from my wife's birth hospital, when we try by ourselves (I mean not involving our/her parents), when we visit India next time (maybe for a month)?
Appreciate your responses..
