'Masala Dosa' and I met with staff of Senators Mel Martinez and Bill Nelson. The meetings went very well. We had the opportunity to see the compromise announcement on the floor while we were in the office of Senator Martinez. That was a good deal.
We talked about IV, our individual cases, the need for reform and possible amendments the Senators could raise - like parity with agricultural workers (ability to self-sponser greencard), I-485 application even when priority not current, backlog elimination center update and the need to push it through, support for existing immigration reform bill, explained why the hard country limit is bad for Indians, Chinese and Philippinos and urged them to talk about keeping the limit at 10% and yet allowing unused numbers to flow to India and China.
One observation we had was that the staff had no clue what is the difference between H-1B and Greencard processing. So we spent some time educating them about how the quotas are formed, the caps etc ...
We have them all the material mentioned in the IV site for reading. Hopefully the feedback trickles down to the Senators and we get to have some of our amendments. The best part of it whether these amendments come or not is that we made an attempt to explain our problems to Senators.
Overall, it was a fruitful trip, and a well spent day. I will continue to follow up with the Senators office and keep in touch with the staff. 'Masala Dosa' will follow up with staff at his place.
We need to move on to the next step and target who would be on the committee for reconciling House and Senate versions. I am looking forward to folks who are knowledgeable in this matter to come forward and give the info.
Let us make this bill through this time and get our greencards. :D

My company attorney has mailed my I-140 application to NSC for premium processing on 12th october by priority mail. Waiting for receipt notice.
The amount of $1000 has been deducted but it has been through online banking and not the check, so there is no way yet to determine the case number. How many days does it usually take for NSC to issue a receipt notice? Is it quicker for PP cases?pls do reply.thanks.

I don't intend to get a second H-1.. The second job that I want to do is just 3-5hrs a week and dont want any sponsorship for it.
Even if you work 1 hour a week, you need an H1 to be able to put on payroll at the other company. Otherwise, it constitutes illegal employment.

Hello all,
I am currently on H1B visa working for an IT company. I have got an admit for this Fall to do my MS and I was planning to study using my EAD. Now there seems to be some risk in using my EAD and so I want to apply for F1. I have applied for I-485 (Adjustment of status) along with my husband's green card application.
My question is:
1: Is it a problem to apply for F1 if my I-485 is pending approval ? The reason I ask is, F1 is a Non Immigrant visa and I-485 is for a green card (which is Immigrant visa).
2: Would my F1 application cause my 485 to be denied or vice versa ?
Thanks in advance

HI,
I received a 500$ check for apartment referral , I am planning to give the entire amount to the person who took the apartment. I was wondering if during the tax return filing I should be reporting this as an income and if yes should I be deducting the tax amount from the 500$ as I will be paying taxes on it.
Any information is appreciated.

Andrew Sullivan, uber-blogger and one of the country's most influential political pundits warns that our paralyzed immigration system is at a point where it is harming our economic security: The legal immigration system - the same one that has kept me in limbo for a quarter of a century - is reaching a breaking point. Skilled immigrants are returning home to the more fertile opportunities in China and India because America makes it almost impossible for talented immigrants to move here: "What was a trickle has become a flood," says Duke University's Vivek Wadhwa, who studies reverse immigration. Wadhwa projects...

Hi - i am converting my L1 to F1 which will cover me for 2.5 years. In the field i am working in, there is a high probability i will be able to find work before the degree is finished. Is it usual for big employers to already have H1 visas to sponser you on, or do they have to start from scratch. Im really trying to find out how easy it would be for a prospective employer to hire me after. (yes i am aware that one is supposed to return back to their country of origin)

As we watch the earthquake destruction in Haiti with horror, one group of individuals that will likely start to get attention is the population of Haitians currently in the US and who are obviously not going to be able to safely return home anytime soon. US immigration law actually has a system to handle precisely this situation. It's called Temporary Protected Status and it is available to individuals who are from country suffering armed conflicts, disasters, or other extraordinary conditions. The Secretary of Homeland Security is empowered to determine which countries are on the TPS list. People in TPS status...

Friends
The past few days has witessed a lot of interest from Michigan residents in joining our chapter.However we could approve only a few heads because of the fact that some were inaccesible over phone.
We would also like to remind all members who are willing to join MI chapter to send in their phone number,IV id and your location.This would help us reach you quickly.

You need to turn in all your I-94 cards, e.g. I-94 below the H1B approval notice, change of status. When you re enter the new I-94 card will have a new number so old ones if you kept would become useless. I would highly recommend that make copies of all your I-94 cards at I-485 they can ask you provide old I-94 cards Have seen cases where this has happened.

Well, there is no requirement from USCIS that forces companies to revoke 140 after employees leave or get laid off from the company. Its more to do with ability to pay issue. When a company receives a ability to pay rfe, it needs to show all the financial records along with how many 140s have been applied by them. USCIS checks the financial docs and number of 140s (underline wages) to make sure that company can pay wages. Most of the time, small time consulting companies get A2P rfe so mostly they revoke the 140s but in this economy, we can't be sure about big companies too.

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.

Hi
My H1B expires on sept 30th 2010.(passport has vaild visa also stamped in it till sept 30th)
Extension has been applied . If extension is approved say by august, can I go for stamping in august end.Basically how soon can i go for h1b stamping before old stamping expires.
If there is a problem in stamping can i return on the old visa stamp.
Thanks

I have been to the interview before approximately 60 days of visa expiration 3 times and no issues.
Last year when I went for interview I was told that my visa is approved and I will get the passport in 5-7 days but when I did not get the passport after 15 days I called embassy and was told that my case is in admin processing and will take up to 60 days. Since my previous visa was valid so I asked for my passport and got it and came on the old visa stamp.
