Silicon Valley Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
An earlier blog post "Silicon Valley Employers Need to Prepare for Surprise USCIS Visits" (http://www.siliconvalleyimmigrationlawyer.com/2009/10/silicon-valley-employers-need.html#more) described the "new normal" of USCIS employees or contractors showing up unexpectedly and inquiring about past visa petitions and foreign national workers. A recently held Department of Homeland Security program, titled, "2009 Government and Employers: Working Together to Ensure a Legal Workforce" sheds more light onto the types of visits being conducted.
Ronald Atkinson, Chief of Staff of USCIS' Fraud Detection and National Security (FDNS) (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=0353f8e5492ec110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=2af29c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) office, explained the three types of site visits that are currently being conducted:
Risk Assessment Program fraud study. Applicable to any type of benefit program, including family and employment-based visas, this study is part of a joint program between USCIS and ICE (Immigration Customs and Enforcement). Applications and petitions are chosen at random, usually on a post-approval basis, for visits to help in designing profiles of potential fraud.
Targeted site visits. These visits take place where fraud is suspected, and consist of a visit to ask questions. Advance notice, including notice to counsel, is supposed to be provided.
Administrative site visits. These relate to religious worker and H-1B petitions (http://www.geelaw.com/lawyer-attorney-1054805.html). They generally are conducted by contractors who know nothing of immigration law. Religious worker visits are performed under the regulations for that category. For H-1B site visits, the contractors have been equipped with a set of specific questions, and all employers/beneficiaries should be asked pretty much the same questions, primarily reaching the issues of whether there's really an employer there, whether the employer knows it filed the petition, and whether the beneficiary is doing the work and receiving the wage indicated on the petition. H-1B visits are done on a post-adjudication basis, and are randomly selected. Each employer should receive only one such visit, but may receive different visits for different sites.

Hello,
My spouse will be in India next week and would be going for her H1B stamping at the Mumbai consulate. She came here on H4 and we applied for her H1B, effective 10/2007, and she has been working since Jan08 and have all her paystubs from that date. Can you share your experience in terms of questions they ask and supporting documents they request in addition to the documents that we are required to carry.
Your reply would be appreciated

I dont think so since someone is doing premium processing, the chances of getting RFE are more. Rather i read in other posts that we should go for Premium processing as it is faster and we come to know the result of the case quickly rather that awaiting for weeks/months.

Hi,
My wife filed her LC under EB3 with June 2003 priority date and I filed my LC under EB2 with Feb 2005 Prority date. Later, I had a job change, in the same company and had to re-do my LC/I-140 -- this time the LC was filed in Nov 2006. My lawyer requested retaining of my original Feb 2005 priority date.
Later when the floodgates opened in 2007, I filed for my I-485 (and my wife's) and a month later she filed her I-485 (based on her independent application and also added me as a spouse to that application).
So now we have the following situation.
1. We both have two A- numbers (Because I filed for her I-485 on my application and she filed for mine on her application)
2. We now have three different priority dates
Feb 14th 2005 � my original EB2 application
Nov 2006 � my EB2 re-application
June 2003 � my wife�s original EB3 application
Most people with Feb 2005 Priority dates have already received their Green Card approvals. I have not and we got concerned.
We contacted USCIS and they have told us that the file is "under review". We asked what Priority date are they using and the immigration officer said he cannot tell us that because the file is under review.
My questions are
1. How do I find out what priority date are they using?
2. What should I ask my lawyer to do to ensure that USCIS uses the right priority date?
3. I have an info-pass appointment on August 3 (my wife's appointment) -- what should I ask them? I went to them last week and got very little to no information. They did say my name check is complete and fingerprinting is complete, and that the case is sitting with an officer for review.

To all the physician members of this forum....
Conrad 30 program is up for extension on march 6.
According to shusterman.com although the extension is gonna take place, they plan to make physicians exempt from employment based category as long as they work in medically underserved areas....
If this bill includes the physician clause that will be a lifesaver for a lot of people and also help in visa retrogression albeit little bit.
Hope it passes....any thoughts anyone?

Hi,
I was on regular H1B for three years until mid 2008 when I changed to H4 status. Now, if I want to work for a non-profit organization, does the org have to just transfer the original H1B or file a new non-profit petition. If it is the latter (new petition) what happens to my original H1 approval? If I want to go back to the for-profit world do I need to apply for a new H1 or will my original H1 validity continue??
Thanks

I did send the educational evaluation along with I140 but the decision was made on the descretion on CIS.
Please advice if I should refile with education evaluation from anothe agency.

Congress.org - News : Why Bill Gates cares about immigration (http://www.congress.org/news/2010/05/24/why_bill_gates_cares_about_immigration)
Why Bill Gates cares about immigration
Foreign workers have a stake in fight to change laws.
Activists on both sides of the immigration debate tend to focus on the millions of illegal immigrants whose fate rests on whether Congress passed a law.
But foreigners here legally also have a stake in this fight.
The U.S. issues temporary worker visas, called H-1B after their official classification, to thousands of non-residents each year. Often, they hold college degrees and have technical skills.
Microsoft and other technology companies hire many workers this way. They often have to prove they can't hire skilled U.S. citizens to fill those jobs first.
Bill Gates wrote in the Washington Post several years back that there is an employment gap that H-1B visas help fill:
This issue has reached a crisis point. Computer science employment is growing by nearly 100,000 jobs annually. But at the same time studies show that there is a dramatic decline in the number of students graduating with computer science degrees.
The United States provides 65,000 temporary H-1B visas each year to make up this shortfall -- not nearly enough to fill open technical positions.
H-1B workers, who have united under grassroots groups like Immigration Voice , want more than just an increase in visas. They want the government to streamline the rules.
Currently, the workers have to apply for green cards through their employers, often a lengthy and cumbersome process. They can't switch jobs easily and sometimes have to reapply for a visa even if they move jobs within the same company. They have to leave the country every few years before they can reapply for a visa.
The workers can also apply for a spouse to come to the U.S., but their partners are not allowed to work under the H-4 status granted to them. The activists argue that those individuals represent a skilled base of workers who could contribute to the U.S. economy and help pay for household expenses.
Powerful corporations back the H-1 B workers in their demands, since it would make it easier for them to hire skilled workers. But groups like Numbers USA argue that those companies shouldn't hire non-residents at a time when many Americans are jobless.

This is Krishna doing Master's Tennessee State University as a full time student. My I-20 got expired on 12-17-08 but I noticed on 01-02-09. My International advisor told me that I am out of status and I need to apply for reinstatement to USCIS and I am not eligible to work. The process takes 60-120 days. My questions are
1) Do they approve this kind of applications?
2) I will get a case number after applying USCIS. Am I eligible to work (I am working as a Graduate Teaching Assistant) once I get the case number? Or Do I need to wait until the case resolved?
The mistake was done because I was planning to graduate in December and I filled the intend to graduate form too. But it got delayed as I didn't have enough data and I was busy in working on my thesis and research in November and December.
Please help me with this issue.
Thank you

Please suggest what he needs to do.

I just noticed that the I-140 my lawyer submitted 3 months ago to Nebraska has a typo in my DOB (21/07/2978 instead of 21/07/1978). Yes its a thousand years out! A copy of my latest I-94 and visa both showing my correct DOB were also submitted with the I-140.
Do any of you guys think I'll have the I-140 rejected, recieve an RFE, or will the Nebraska officer just use common sense and amend it himself? What do you reccomend I do if anything?
Since it is 140, your attorney or you company HR can call up and get this corrected, They will give you a service number. Also they will ask for an email address after 45 days you will get an email that it will be corrected when the file is being reviewed by an officer.

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 am planning to work on EAD soon and switch my employer using AC21. How would USCIS know that I have switched from H1b to EAD. I might change my mind after 1 months and get back to H1 transfer and work on H1 instead on EAD.
This depends on if the future project is long term and I switch to H1B just to be safe.
Any ideas would be appreciated...

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.

Hello I am leaving for India in two days and have still not received my H1B approval. The receipt date is May 19th 2009. It is being processed at the CA center, is there anything I can to do get it soon.
It was a regular processing one, not the Premium processing one.
Help please!!!!
I am not sure what kind of help you are expecting from members. It seems you already are aware of Premium Processing (PP) service. If you had travel plans, you should have filed H1 under PP and not under regular processing. Anyways, you can upgrade your pending H1 to PP now by filing a form I-907 along with a copy of H1 receipt notice. But I dont think you will get your approval in the next 2 days. It usually takes atleast a week to 10 days to get it, that if its approved with no RFEs.

i don't personally know any attorney nor do I have any experience. But I know that anyone (including Indians) will qualify and this is always current and no labor cert needed. You can go from 140 to 485 in a short period of time and then get a 2 yr conditional GC after which if u still maintian ur initial invest (500k or 1M depending on target area of investment) then u will get final GC.
You also need to create employment opportunities for at least 10 people in the permanent resident or US citizen categories during those 2 years. Not sure if I-140 is required.

I applied by mail to the DC embassy. I sent photocopies of everything and no problem.
The only thing to note though is that the DC embassy took a whole month to process my visa. I was going to Canada in September, applied in early july and received it somewhere in August. In the meanwhile when enquired about the status through email, they said they will delay it more now because I enquired. :) (and we think Indian govt. offices have bad attitude)
So I'd advise you to accomodate for the long time to get the Visa, if applying by mail.
