I know that the EAD card comes directly to the applicant and not to the attorney.

What about RFE on EAD? Does that too come directly to the applicant?

Pls lets know when you get your EAD. It would be interesting to see how long it takes with this avalanche of EAD applications

Try taking the main battery AND the "clock" battery out. Leave them out for at least 15 minutes [longer is fine]. Then re-insert clock battery and then main battery.

Check that there's no buttons being stuck in.

IV Members,

I am not able to figure out if this new Merit Based System (if implemented is good or bad for us)

If the guys who already have made some progress using the existing system are asked to re-apply under this new merit based system, it is going to be bad for them, because they have to go through the entire process again.

What about people like me, who are new commers to US ?

If I apply under the new merit based systems, am I automatically subjected to backlog, because people who applied for GC under the previous system have not yet gotten their GCs, or this new merit based system will have its own quote ?

Can anyone explain ?

I work for a big company. Each time when I move to a new project, my company ask me to file an LCA and H-1B amendment for new project location. It takes several month to get approval until then you have wait and face all travel restrictions.
I know that several smaller companies don�t file such amendments

Does anyone who why do we have to file such amendment?
What happens if we don�t file this?

I am kind of confused about my situation. Will try to detail it; any help is greatly appreciated!

I was working with company A until July 2009. They had filed my F1 to H1 COS Application in April 2009, which got approved. I have the receipt for that. I lost my job in July 2009 and found another one. My new employer, Company B, filed a NEW COS Application (which they said is subject to the H-1B cap, which is confusing cuz they could have used the receipt number from my previous approval I think)

Anyway, I contacted the attorney from Company B and they said I should call company A and have them cancel my H-1 COS Application. I called the attorney from Company A and she said she would cancel the H-1 Application. She also mentioned about ME having to send a letter to USCIS. Why do I have to send this letter? Is it so that I can go back to my F1 status? What should it say?? Please help!

Jul 2nd filer. EAD approved late Sep and notice mailed on 10/2/07. (LUD on EAD 10/2)
There is a LUD on the AP application on 10/4/07, but the status still says case received and pending. What could this LUD be ?

When I saw the LUD (with 10/4) I got excited and thought AP was approved too, but when I click the case details , it still says pending. The text of the details did not change.

Hi,

I"m currently working for a TARP company and my I-94 date is Aug 2009. I still have 3 years left on my H1B.

I've got an offer from another bank (non-TARP) and they have filed for my H1 transfer.

a) Any idea what the wait times are these days?
b) Anybody seen problems with H1B transfers these days?
c) There might be a 1 week overlap (pay) between my current company and my future company. is that OK? e.g. My join date in the new company will be Feb 23rd and my notice date will be Feb 28th in my current company.

cheers

Hi,
My friend had done 7th Yr Extension last month. By Mistake she gave dates such that it showed that she was out of USA for 1 year. So the lawyer filed for 3 yr extension and USCIS permitted. Is this rectifiable?

Back in 2002, the President signed a law designed to keep immigrant families intact, the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA). The law includes a provision that states that if a child turns 21 years of age before obtaining a green card together with his parents, his petition would "automatically be converted to the appropriate category" and he would be entitled to the "original priority date". What does this mean? Consider the case of Melvin Cuellar de Osorio. His grandmother, a U.S. citizen, submitted a petition to sponsor his family for permanent residence in 1998. Because of long backlogs, Melvin's parents...

Your I-485 will not go forward unti they receive the 140 approval.

I-485 petition will be undated automatically as soon as the corresponding I-140 is approved.

As far as I know, you don't have to inform uscis about your I-140 approval.

Yes something basic seems to be missing in our immigrant community. I want to repeat these are just 6 users who are very vocal and influencing thousands of people.
Sorry to say this, but it appears our worst enemies seem to be fellow immigrants, not anti-immigrants.
All I can say is someone has to be criminally negative minded, to oppose a campaign where money is not even being solicited. This culture of hate has to go and has no place in the USA.

This campaign along with the DREAM campaign was also supported by Murthy forum.
Murthy is one of the top immigration lawyers. It is a moderated forum, and the lawyers are personally aware of the content. They have supported us on previous Advocacy days.

As far as the question about law, I am no lawyer and will defer to admins. Core is in touch with many lawyers and I can assure you, they will pick up an action item, only if it has a very good chance of success.

Also Greg Syskind, one of the best lawyers in the country is on our advisory board, and core talks to USCIS, law makers regularly. So to claim this is not legally possible is just absurd.
On our home page we have the best minds on immigration listed, in our advisory board.

So you have all the above lawyers, lobbyists, core who are supporting this and 6 people with EAD think its not possible?
.

I don't care them but they are influencing others to believe in them.

I believe same. Those minds are not only selfish but they are really really cruel, cunning and they don't deserve to be part of american dream.. All they care is their green card..rest of eligible people who are waiting to file 485 can have unknown waiting time for their chance of filing 485 and can live in the state of limbo.

Hope there are no issues legally for this to see as admin fix as you already mentioned that Murthy and Greg are aware of this initiative.

Bottomline - if you are considering converting your LC case from TR to RIR, then your employer must send an email to DOL by Jan 20th and complete recrutiment process by April 1 ( or else case will be closed without recourse to appeal).

I think I know the answer to this, but I just wanted to make sure from the experts on this forum.

Do we need to apply for new EAD/AP if we change jobs using AC21 even if the current EAD/AP (approved when working for the GC sponsoring employer) are valid for almost 10 more months?

I think that EAD/AP are not dependent/tied to the employer.

Am I right gurus?

The analysis of census data from both the U.S. and Mexican governments, being released Wednesday by the Pew Hispanic Center, highlights the impact of the economic downturn on Mexican immigrants, many of whom enter the United States illegally. The study found that immigrants arriving from Mexico fell by 249,000 from March 2008 to March 2009, down nearly 60 percent from the previous year. As a result, the annual inflow of immigrants is now 175,000, having steadily decreased from a peak of 653,000 in 2005, before the bursting of the housing bubble dried up construction and other low-wage jobs.

The total population of Mexican-born immigrants in the U.S. also edged lower in the past year, from 11.6 million to 11.5 million, according to the study by Pew, an independent research group. Up to 85 percent of immigrants are believed to be in the country illegally.

As reported in the Wall Street Journal, a surge in corporate profits is translating into increased hiring for the high tech industry and economic recovery could come faster than anticipated. Notwithstanding the job market showing some signs of life, U.S. unemployment remains at just under 10% and will likely remain high for some years to come. While employers added more than 160,000 jobs in March, the biggest monthly gain in three years, roughly one-third of the growth came from the government's hiring of 48,000 temporary workers for the 2010 Census. So what does this all mean for U.S. employers vis-a-vis...

When she and her husband called me, she thought that she qualified for benefits under CSPA. Initially, I was skeptical. In every seminar regarding the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) that I have presented on behalf of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), my mantra has always been, if you marry, you lose whatever benefits you gained under CSPA. Still I listened to what she had to say, and in the end, I agreed with her. She and her husband were both physicians, born in India and trained in the U.S. They both would have qualified for permanent residence in...
