AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
There has been a lot of talk recently about what might be included in an immigration reform bill. Will there be a legalization/amnesty/forgiveness of "lawbreakers" rule? Will there be an expansion of employment based and family based immigrant visa numbers to solve the economically devastating backlogs we currently deal with? Will there be a mandatory E-Verify component? Will there be an interior enforcement focus? Will there be even more fences?
The topic that seems to be lost in all this speculation is something I consider to be the overriding component of reform--the Key to holding a reform package together. I am speaking, of course, of Due Process Restoration. Anyone who deals with immigrants for any length of time is intimately familiar with the disaster that is our immigration enforcement system. It is not just that previous administrations have done a horrific job at the enforcement that should have been taking place, but rather, the missing component to that enforcement. When is the last time an ICE officer worried about Due Process considerations? What is really destroying immigrant families--how about 212(a)(9)(B) and (C)? What about the concept of "civil" detention in real jails with real criminals for non-criminal immigrants? What about the detention of Asylum Seekers? What about the ludicrous requirements of REAL ID for asylum seekers?
These are all only a few of the regular violations of concepts most American hold sacred. When you tell the 'average' American about the system immigrants actually have to deal with, most are appropriately appalled. It is to those Americans that we must speak. I believe that if Senator Schumer has the courage to include Due Process Restoration in his "Comprehensive" immigration reform bill, it will be tragically necessary for us to defend these Due Process provisions of the reform package.
Take a look at this video, and sign up to support including Due Process Restoration in a comprehensive immigration reform bill.

hi:
Always look at last action taken by the USCIS. If USCIS approved your H-1B for employer D, and attached I-94, that means that as long as you are working for employer D at this time and at the time you extend and re-stamp your H-1b visa, there should be no problem. Make sure you take W-2s and Tax returns from previous years you were in H-1B status when you go for a new Visa Stamp.

Hello,
I am stuck in India (along with my husband who) after leaving USA where I am living for over 5 years. I just came for 2 wks here in India to get stamping done at the Chennai Consulate. They kept my passport and said they will give visa, in next 3-4wks..Its past a month and 3 wks.. I am force to live with relatives. I can't even go to my home country without my passport. Everything I own is back in USA. How do I get back to it? I am on H4 and my husband is H1B. I am holding another country's nationality. I can't even visit my home country without my passport. Why did the Consulate kept the passports for this long? :confused:Why are we being treated this way?? Why didn't they do a security check where I was living for over 5 years? I am so frustrated being stuck and worry about my home left unattended back in the US.
:mad:
Any advise? Can I contact someone to help expedite this process?
Did you contact the consulate if they already sent it? Maybe it got lost in the mail or was returned to the consulate. Also, could be background checks. In any case, you should contact, VFS or the US Consulate to get answers. I think numbers for VFS/Consulate should be available on the consulate website.

Yes I have seen that before (though I do not remember if it was Williston). At that time, Fedex told me that they have a some sort of bulk pickup arrangement (probably they may not be able to run the scanner after that pickup). But there were no problem due to that for me and my packet was delivered in time.

My husband's employer told him that the 6 year H1 B stay cap has been eliminated since the year 2008. Is that true?
No. There is still the 6-year limit, unless the H-1B holder has reached a certain stage of the permanent residence process.

It may be operated by the SSA but then how does it know that the EAD you have submitted is genuine and is valid for work? There has got to be a real time call to the USCIS systems to validate that the EAD is genuine. Now common sense would say that it should just be a read only query returning a Yes/No response, but then the USCIS has probably overengineered it just as I am probably overthinking the situation. :D

I think this thread is really good start. I think the inherent problem is not the fact that H1B is temporary and ppl want GC. Basic problem is ppl want the right to be able to work for who they want and they want the same for their spouses. This can be addressed by H1B reform also. But I think it will be an uphill battle because most businesses get captive employees by way of H1B visa and would be the real losers in case of a reform.

My H1 expired and the extension is in process. But they did not file for H4 extension. I was told by my employer that she can get a visa stamp by presenting my H1 paper at the consulate. Is this true ? If so, what is the significance of H4 approval notice ?

Arizona immigration law backer politician Barry Wong wants to cut power from illegal immigrant homes (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2010/06/30/2010-06-30_arizona_immigration_law_backer_politician_barry _wong_wants_to_cut_power_from_ill.html)
One Arizona politician has made a vow to make illegal immigrants powerless -- literally.
Republican Barry Wong, a candidate for the Arizona Corporation Commission, an elected body that decides public utility issues, says he would require the utilities to check the immigration status of customers, he told the Arizona Republic.

I don't think you read his question- He/She wanted to know if the FP can be done in an American Consulate General in India if he gets his FP notice while he/she is in India.
Does anyone know of this situation and if any consulate in India can do the FP?
If you get your FP notice while in the US go to the ceter any day at 7.45 am before the center opens and request the staff to do the FP.They generaly oblige.I did it in Los Angeles.

Go to www.ehealthinsurance.com , you can get quotes from some of the good insurance companies. You can apply for insurance without any pay obligation upfront. These prices are affordable. A small tip is that its better to shop individual plan than family plans as the family plans are expensive. Also the insurance is expensive for women compared to men. I would suggest you to go for smaller deductibles and no co-insurance. You could get a good insurance for 150 dollars per month. Let me know if you need more info on this.

Hi:
I was working for Company A from 2000 to 2004. Company A applied for my GC in 2002. However, the company was not doing well until I left it. It was not paying me the salary which came out in PW. Company A continued with my GC processing and I filed for I140 and 485 last year in June. Now received the following RFE for I140:
Please submit documentary evidence that you, the petitioning employer, have the financial
ability to pay the wage/salary you offered the beneficiary. This evidence must show that you
have this financial capability on the date you fied the ETA with the Department of Labor and
cover up until the visa is issued. The petitioner may submit evidence that their net income is
equal to or greater than the proffered wage, evidence that the petitioner's net current assets
are equal to or greater than the proffered wage, or evidence that the petitioner not only is
employing the beneficiary but also has paid or is currently paying the proffered wage. The
service wil also consider copies of audited annual reports of the employer, or copies of
audited financial statements of the employer. Evidence is needed for 2002-2003.
Does anyone have some idea how to get the audited financial statements or audited annual reports?. I know that the company never had any audited reports. I had submitted the bank statements of the company and the tax returns with my I140. However, it seems that they want the audited reports. The company was not doing well in 2002/2003. However, it is doing well now. So any input will be highly appreciated.

I asked the same question yesterday at POE Boston.
He said I have to renew the AP before it expires. The Parole stamp is valid until an year from yesterday.
So when do you need to renew? Before June 17, 2009 ( your parole stamp validity) Or before the expiration of your original AP document?
Thanks a lot

I am sure this may have been asked already but I coudn't find a thread.
I have an approved and valid extension on my H1 but my EAD expired in august and my AP expired last month. I didn't file for an EAD/AP renewal yet because I was not using them and wanted to delay it for a few months and save some money.
Will there be any problem with a delayed EAD/AP filing ?
