AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Senator Sessions cannot leave his hands off of E-Verify. Now in "stealth" mode, Senator Sessions has slyly introduced an E-Verify amendment (SB 1371) during today's full Senate vote on the DHS appropriations bill.
The Sessions amendment calls for a permanent reauthorization of the Basic Pilot/E-Verify program, and mandates its use for all federal contractors and subcontractors - including the verification of all existing employees. This amounts to a massive expansion of a program that is still not ready for prime-time.
We must call our Senators and tell them to oppose this sneak attack by Senator Sessions for the following reasons:
It would impose exorbitant costs on businesses at a time when our economy is most vulnerable:
An economic analysis commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
concluded that the net societal costs of the program would be $10 billion a year
� a cost that would be felt disproportionately by small businesses. It would make Basic Pilot/E-Verify permanent without addressing its well documented database inaccuracies:
A 2007 independent evaluation of the program commissioned by DHS found that
the Basic Pilot/E-Verify database �is still not sufficiently up to date� to meet
the requirements for �accurate verification.�
SSA has estimated that if Basic Pilot/E-Verify were to become mandatory and
the databases were not improved, SSA database errors alone could result in 3.6
million workers a year being misidentified as not authorized for employment.
This would result in 6 out of every 100 workers having to visit an SSA office to
correct their records or lose their job.
It would force workers and businesses to pay a high price for Basic Pilot/E-Verify's inaccuracies:
Queries submitted to Basic Pilot/E-Verify by Intel Corporation in 2008 resulted
in nearly 13 percent of all workers being initially flagged as unauthorized for
employment. All of these workers were cleared by Basic Pilot/E-Verify as
work-authorized, but only after �significant investment of time and money�
and �lost productivity.�We urge all AILA members to call their Congressman today and oppose the Sessions amendment (SB 1371). Don't let Senator Session's stealth tactics create a nationwide crisis for employers!

I signed up with a new Attorney for filing my 485. I sent my documents in the last week of July and until I sent my documents out, she was communicating well saying she will make sure everything is done in time ...... and assured me that her clients are her strength .....
She has not completed the paperwork till now and she closed down all communication channels with me.
On Friday the paralegal called me and told me papers are getting ready soon.
I am confused and don't know how to deal with this situation - I figure out that it is too late to trust any lawyer now.
Though there is no point in submitting on July 2nd anymore, I am just wondering what must be the next course of action?
I am sure they will drag this through end of next week because they seem to cater to corporate clients rather than personal clients and are very unresponsive.
In general - what are folks doing, especially those who did not file yet? Are all your packets with lawyer, ready to file and send?
Please advice

Hi,
Need quick suggestion:
Company A filed for GC. Labor and I-140 was approved. I-485 was filed during July 2007.
I changed employer in June 2009; replied to RFE and filed AC21 in July 2009.
I came to know that my GC sponsring company is going to close the company soon. My current immigration attorney is suggesting that if that happens; and if INS came to know that GC sponsring company is closing down, they will revoke my I-140.
Is it true? I thought after AC21 is invoked; whatever happens to GC sponsring company, it will not impact my GC application in any way.
Please advice.
V
you should be fine ...
just keep your AC21 documents intact...
Have a happy new year ..dont worry,

I played around with this a bit, and found the solution. The problem occurred when I had "Empty Project." I created a new project "Console Application," and then I was able to "load" the Process class/namespace. Can anyone explain to me why this would happen? I did a few searches online, but didn't find much help...
Those who have been using C# for a while, what type of project do you mostly choose that are NOT GUI?
Thanks! :)

I just e-filed my EAD application. Unfortunately, right after I made the payment thorugh Credit Card and it generated the PDF receipt, I noticed that my country of Citizenship/Nationality is entered as USA, instead of INDIA. Everything else on the form is correct.
Can anyone advise how to correct this error? I haven't send any supporting documentation. Should I just highlight this in my cover letter when I send the supporting documentation? Or call up USCIS Customer Service and they can correct that maybe?
Please advise guys,

I had expected some kind of outlook from the recent AILA - DoS liaison that happened in San Antonio. Both Matthew Oh and Sheela Murthy did not report any outlook. But here's an outlook from another lawyer

Further Retrogression for Employment-Based Immigrant Visas Anticipated
At a recent immigration conference in San Antonio, it was reported that the Department of State ("DOS") expects that the EB1 China category will remain current and the EB2 China category to continue advancing. On a less positive note, further delays in the EB1 and EB2 categories for Indian nationals is expected as well as the EB3 category for all nationalities. With the Department of Labor's optimistic projection that the the Backlog Elimination Centers will meet their goal of eliminating its backlog and processing the remaining labor certifications filed pre-PERM implementation by September 2007, the DOS expects severe retrogression in many of the categories, particularly the EB3 categories - across the board. While this report is pure speculation, it does spark concern that applicants will be facing further delays in the permanent residence process. The DOS' Visa Bulletin is released on a monthly basis at http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/b...letin_1770.html. Greenberg Traurig will continue to monitor this issue and provide further updates as soon as they are available.
Looks like it's a long haul for EB3 in general and could be punishing for EB3-IND and EB2-IND.
This is the effect of increasing the H1B quota to 115,000 for 2 years and then to 195000 in 1 year without actually increasing the GC quota.
Good luck to all of us. Those who are in late 2001 and early 2002 EB3-IND filers can hope to get relief in the next year or so but unless some bill passes other EB3-IND filers should possibly work towards Plan B. Also read the report by USCIS ombudsman. It's quite revealing about the working of USCIS. This country might be technologically advanced but it's bureaucracy seems to be much worse than third world countries comparitively.

Hello All,
I have couple of questions regarding Travel Document or Advance Parole.
My EAD has already been filed by my Lawyer but she is charging too much for filing Advance Parole or Travel Document,so here goes my questions.
- Is there a way to file for Travel Document myself, without involving the lawyer and if yes how can i do that
- Do I need to wait for my EAD Receipt being sent to me before filing for Travel Document.

Two weeks is normal. We filed paperbased renewal last month end and it got approved.
FYI
though it is difficult to identify the EAC/SRC no in soft copy of check.
If you can able to print the back side of check you can easily figure out the EAC/SRC no.

Illinois Congressman: Immigration Reform Cannot Wait : NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=114199526)
President Obama says he wants to change United States immigration policy. But so far, immigration has taken a backseat to other pressing issues, like health care, the economic recession and the ongoing conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. But Rep. Luis Gutierrez, a Democrat from Illinois, wants to bump immigration to the top of the President's agenda. Gutierrez explains why he thinks comprehensive immigration reform cannot wait any longer.
Gutierrez is panicking on something that we already know: CIR is dying. As CIR gets delayed, its chances diminishes with the approaching election year (2010).
Gutierrez is from a high-immigrant area of Chicago (Cook County) but it will cost massively for Democratic party in the purple states. Democratic party will never
risk its fortunes over the tantrums of Gutierrez.
Gutierrez knows that if CIR keeps failing again and again then piecemeal will start gaining traction. Then his amnesty dreams for illegals will be up in smoke.

Hi,
I know your time is very precious and not to waste.
My issue is - I came to US as a programmar/analyst in Aug' 2005 with my B.Commerce (3years) and Master of Computer Applications (completed my 3years masters by 2003) in India. My H1 company in March'2008 applied for PERM/I 140 through EB3 (as a professional) recently they came back to me that my I140 got denied because of educational evaluation comparison difference and need to reapply again through a new lawyer as EB3 - unskilled - system support engineer.
Is this really require to go through the new lawyer to restart the GC process? - and this costs me to lose my priority date - almost 2 years
If yes, how are the chances to get the perm/I140 if I reapply through the same H1 company ?
remember that I have to go for H1 extension by Aug'10 ( as I complete 5 years on my H1).
Kindly suggest.

In my case I work for startup and I'm the only one who they are sponsoring for GC (rest all are either US citizens, GC holders or contractors) and my I140 is already approved, so ability to pay is not a concern with my company.
While I have a good rapport with the CEO etc, I am nervous that they might revoke I-140 in case they have lay offs that affect me. I was looking for some articles or USCIS documents that say that there is no requirement to revoke I-140.
Its just harder to prove that there are no such requirements other than saying "look, you couldn't find anything that says you should revoke I-140, therefore don't do it". It would be more convincing if I find something more explicit that says there is no such requirement.

Hi,
When I came into the United States, they documented my fingerprints. Now I want to apply for a reentry permit. Do I still have to pay for the Biometric fee? What exactly is it for?
I would really appreciate any help on the topic.

Anyone who has succefully self filed for an Advanced Parole who can help me on this question?
What is the answer you put to answer the question:
"On a seperate sheet of papaer, please explain how you qualify for an advance parole and what circumstansces warrant issuance of advance parole. include copies of any documents you wish considered. "
Thank you.
I entered exactly the following on a separate sheet for that item:
"Pending adjustment of status petition. Lengthy adjustment and the need to visit family from time to time."
I self filed for I-131 (both for my spouse and myself) and had no problem with the approval.

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

I need to take an apppointment for myself and my wife in May. Unfortunatly few days back I found a mistake in my wife's password and it will take 21 days to get it corrected. I doubt if she can get the passport on time to schedule an appointment for May 2nd week. However I am sure to get wife's new passport by May 2nd week. So I was thinking of taking an appointment using her old PP number and editing the info later.
Will I be able to edit the PP number later online...?? Or not. greatly apprecite if you could provide some info on this...
Thanks in advance...
