please note: the final USCIS operating procedures relating to AC21 is stillborn eight years after the law was passed, which means the government can make the interpretation of AC21 loose or tight as it sees fit.

I couldn't get good rep 10-15 times i called USCIS to tell me more detail than what shows online. One thing i can think of is i was pregnant at the time of my medical and couldnt get xray done as my tb skin test showed positive.
So may be RFE for that. God Know. This waiting is killing me.
Will i get copy of RFE or just my lawyer?

Hi,
My client is a TARP fund received bank.I am planning to go India for 3 weeks in may.My visa expires in Aug09.
I have new H1 extension for 3 years.
--If I go for visa stamping will it be a problem as I am workig for TARP received bank.
--If I don't go for visa stamping and planning to comeback with old visa, will it be a problem at Port Of Entry as my client is TARP received bank and I am on H1B.
you don't have to go to india to restamp your H1B. you can rather stay here and whenever you are going out of the country you need to get h1B stamped.
Regarding TARP received bank, the rules may even change when you had gone for a vacation. Its better not to go back during recession and most important keep your eye open for another job position.
I agree TARP revceived firms cannot renew H1B after 6 years or apply for GC. Those rules may change as per time. Most of the firms who like to hire H1B. So don't know whether it will get better or worst for your situation.

Did you report that you used AC-21 to USCIS? If so, then it might be triggered a LUD in your 485. Nothing to worrry.

We are in the same boat. We also filed our I-485 separately through our respective employers but we have not requested to merge the applications yet. From my consultation to an attorney, you have following options:
1. If you already have receipt numbers for your case, you should send the copies of your I-485 receipt notice and approved I-140 along with your spouse's application. Attach a cover letter requesting to append your spouse's file with yours. That way, you don't have to do a separate step of letting USCIS know later on. Don't forget to include a copy of marriage certificate.
2. In case you do not have receipt numbers for your case (which was our case), your spouse can fill out his/her application and then wait to receive notice receipts for both of your applications. Notify USCIS about merging your applications. From my understanding, there is no way of confirming if the files were merged so this doesn't gurantee that they will be merged.
or
You can wait till one of you get your green card approved. Once you are approved, you can take an infopass apointment and request spouse's adjuciation based on your spouse's approval and your pending application. Not sure , but you can also file follow to join (which takes 6 months) for the other member to receive GC once you have one approved GC in hand. You don't have to depend on PD after this.
I honestly recommend taking a second opinion from attorney and would really appreciate if you can share what your attorney recommends.
Hope this helps!
Thanks

I don't have the stats right in front of me, but it is my impression that except for a few odd years (FY06 comes to mind), EB-1 did not max out its numbers. Using EB-1 for L-1 executives is a relatively new idea.
This is the EB1 the usage for the last 14 years
06 = 36,960
05 = 64.731
04 = 31,291
03 = 14,544
02 = 34,452
01 = 41,801
00 = 27,706
99 = 14,898
98 = 21,408
97 = 21,810
96 = 27,501
95 = 17,339
94 = 21,053
93 = 21,114
The limit was at least 40.040 for each FY. In FY 06 it was 41,170. As you can see the limit has been reached twice in the last 14 years.

Hi,
I am in your stage. I am in AOS stage with EAD. I applied for FAFSA and I do qualify under 'Qualified Non-Citizen.' But, the school financial aid office was not aware of my situation and it took more than a month for me to educate and make them aware of this.
The FAO people only know about GC or Citizen. You will have to talk to the
School's International Office to evaluate your situation and ask them to talk to your FAO to explain about your immigration status.
Hope this helps.
If you need more info, PM me.
Good Luck.

Hello GreatGuy
You can be a lil more cordious and polite :rolleyes:
At least if you expect somebody to answer your question.
Hey guys knock it off. Labor substitution is legally allowed
till date. If this guy get a pre approved labor let him accept
it and get ahead. Nobody blocks you to accept pre approved
labor. I'm retrogressed with PD of 2003 on EB3 India. But for
that reason I dont think I'm going to shout at somebody using
a pre approved labor and get ahead of me.
Now to answer you question Mr GREAT.
DOL can replace if its not approved. Mainly they look at the
education and experience.
This situation can be a lil dicey. If I were you I would
get the reference no or something of that labor cert and verify
all the details. Secondly I would do a thorough research on this
employer. It would have been a lil better if its already approved.
On 2002 I got a pre approved labor offer. I got a copy of
the labor from this employer and had it looked by an attorney.
Atty said its a lil risky to accept it. So I did not take it.
Good luck GREAT. I expect you to be a lil more polite on these
forums.
Ok now we know who is desperately looking for one such pre-approved LCs...All you blood-sucking desi consultancies...one more for you guys to earn money!!

From: National Immigration Forum
Web: http://www.immigrationforum.org
Recess
Congress is out for its 4th of July recess. It has been a while since the last update went out, but not much has been happening—certainly not compared to one year ago, as a major immigration reform bill was being killed by filibuster in the Senate.
On the one hand, the Forum, and thousands of issue advocacy organizations in politically-gridlocked Washington, are waiting for a new Congress and a new President. On the other hand, there is never a time when we are not defending against the bad ideas that immigration restrictionists and their friends in Congress are trying to slip through Congress.
There is little chance of having positive legislation enacted this year. There are, however, some proposals being considered. In the House, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, with co-sponsors from both parties has put a couple of bills into the hopper that would offer modest relief for immigrants waiting for visas. H.R. 5882 would “re-capture” immigrant visas that went unused during the years 1992 to 2007, and would make changes in the law to prevent visas from going unused in the future. This would effectively make available an additional 225,000 visas on a one-time basis, with about 93,000 of those visas going to the family preferences.
H.R. 5921 would eliminate the per-country ceiling for employment-based immigrant visas, and raise the per-country limit for family-based visas.
In the Senate, we will at some point see further action on AgJOBS, and proposals related to seasonal non-agricultural workers and high-skilled temporary workers.
Even for these modest reforms, prospects for passage are uncertain.
Oversight and Accountability
If there is any good news coming out of Washington, it is that Congress, after giving boatloads of money to the immigration enforcement agencies, is starting to ask for some accountability.
There have been some hearings, including a hearing in the House on June 4th on the subject of deaths in immigration detention, where some of the egregious misconducts of Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) has been questioned. There have also been hearings to examine immigration enforcement proposals still being considered. Several committees (including the Immigration Subcommittee) have considered mandatory electronic employment verification plans. The Shuler/Tancredo “SAVE” Act, the proposal that has the most momentum (if you can call it that at this point) now has 190 signatures on a discharge petition that, if it gains 217 signatures, will force a vote on the House floor. Since April 1, it has gained just five signatures. We expect there will be more hearings where Congress will exercise its oversight responsibilities over the Department of Homeland Security, and in part these hearings will continue to point to the need to fix our broken immigration system.
The Appropriations Season
We are getting in to the appropriations season and, legislatively, the action will turn to the 12 spending bills that Congress must pass by September 30 to keep the various government agencies running. (Given the current gridlock, no one actually expects Congress to complete its work on the spending bills; more likely temporary spending bills will be passed to tide the government over until a new Congress is in place.)
Spending bills offer the greatest chance for mischief. Immigration restrictionists will no doubt offer amendment after amendment to make life more miserable for immigrants. In this election season, the main function of these proposals will not necessarily be to pass them into law, but to gain material for 30-second campaign advertisements in which anti-immigrant members of Congress will attack their opponents as being soft on immigration, national security, etc.
There is, unfortunately, always the chance that one of these proposals actually passes, and this will require the vigilance of immigration advocates in Washington in the coming weeks.
There is also the chance that some good proposals may find their way into the spending bills. In the House, the bill controlling spending for the Department of Homeland Security has passed with a number of reporting requirements for ICE—in keeping with the new interest by Congress in holding the enforcement agencies accountable.
The target date for adjournment for the summer is August 8. After that date, the House and Senate will be safely out of Washington until September, after the party conventions.
Immigrants and the 2008 Elections
The real action is taking place outside the beltway. In preparation for the upcoming elections, there will be much focus on getting immigrants registered to vote and turned out to vote. This weekend, on June 28, there will be a kickoff in Chicago of the New Americans Vote 2008 campaign, which is a collaborative effort of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, Center for Community Change, Fair Immigration Reform Movement, National Council of La Raza, NDN, America’s Voice, United Food and Commercial Workers and the We Are America Alliance. The campaign combines training, organizing and electoral civic engagement targeting immigrant communities in 17 states. Speaking at the kickoff will be Senator Dick Durbin and Representatives Luis Gutierrez and Jan Schakowsky. For more, see:
http://icirr.org/node/2882
Immigrants are eager to weigh in on the immigration debate, and it is expected they will be doing this in unprecedented numbers in polling places across the country this fall. Building up to the elections, organizations including the Forum will be tracking the story of how the immigration issue is being used by politicians. It is expected that we will see a repeat of 2006—Republican candidates will use the immigration issue to play on the fears of their constituents in the hope of gaining votes, the debate will be ugly, and Democrats may or may not take a more moderate view.

My company is going through a merger and it will be complete by third qtr of this year. I already filed my AOS on July 2nd.
I was told by my immigration attorney that if a buyer (new company) takeover all the immigration liabilities then I don't need to file an amendment. Is this correct?
From what i've researched, in your scenario it could quite possibly slip through without being an issue. Now technically, i beleive you are supposed to notify USCIS of a change if it occurs prior to 180 days of the 485 being pending and possibly file an successor of interest i-140. After 180 days it becomes a moot point since you are eligible for portablity and a simple job letter will suffice. In the former case if the officer notices it, you may get an RFE which will need to be responded with proof of the new companies, successor of interest status.
This is MY understanding. Not sure if it is totally accurate.
