Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The attorneys at Fong & Chun, LLP have helped hundreds of legal immigrants seek citizenship over the years. Whether we have worked with you at a naturalization drive, through labor unions, or in our own offices, citizenship is the ultimate goal of most immigrants. Today, the government announced (http://articles.latimes.com/2010/aug/22/local/la-me-refugee-assistance-20100823) that cash assistance to elderly and disabled immigrants who were granted entry based on humanitarian reasons may lose benefits unless they have naturalization applications pending. Many of those affected are people who were granted asylum or refugee status.
Most immigrants are eligible for naturalization after a 3 or 5 year period after their initial residency period begins. Many immigrants delay applying for naturalization because they fear the English or history exams. While the naturalization exam can seem daunting, the government allows for applicants to re-take their exams if they fail the first time. Some immigrants who are long term residents may even take the examination in their native language, but many immigrants simply put off the naturalization process because it has become intimidating or costly. However, in most cases, an immigrant who truly desires to naturalize and is eligible to do so can make an application and be successful with the right type of support and preparation. Today's announcement by the administration poses yet another reason for immigrants who have been putting off their citizenship application to call and find a qualified immigration attorney (http://www.fongandchun.com/lawyer-attorney-1416111.html) to help them with the process. Fong & Chun encourages those eligible for naturalization make an application and realize their dreams of finally becoming US citizens. ---ecf

Big thanks to the entire group. We should not be happy unless we get our goals done.
1. They should take the applications for July 2007.
2. They should make PD July 2007 for the coming VB atleast. Because it was current in July 2007.
3. They should increase the VISA numbers so that the back log is no more.
4. They should not seperate husband and wife because of this idiotic immigration system. One having a green card and other partner not able to be with them. Because we INDIAN strongly believe in marriage and not like AMERICAN marrying more than 1 wife or husband.

A friend of mine told me that we do not have to pay Social Security Tax while working on EAD. Does anybody know if this is true ?
That would be a huge plus in case its true.

We need a handle to kick start a similar plead. In the last one year and quarter here at this forum, I had never seen one that CIS has done injustice to us by mis-interpreting a rule or law or act. If somebody knows otherwise, please state and cite facts. The class action suit ("Schneider vs. Chertoff") was filed by Shusterman on behalf of a group of international doctors in response to CIS regulations implementing the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 1999. Section five of the Act provides that "any alien physician" can qualify for a green card through a "National Interest Waiver," provided they practice in a federally designated health professional shortage area. The National Interest Waiver program is intended to accelerate the hiring of international doctors willing to serve in such areas.
In its regulations implementing the Act, the CIS stated that only primary care physicians, not medical specialists such as surgeons or radiologists, could qualify for green cards through a National Interest Waiver. The agency's regulations therefore eliminated the right thousands of international specialist physicians had to petition for green cards through the National Interest Waiver program.
Thanks.
Can Carl Shusterman help us get USCIS release the numbers allocated and how they were allocated?
He below argued how USCIS interpreted the law and won

you have to wait till 180 days .
Your employer can revoke 140 in once that you filed i-485 within 180 days .
So you have to make friendship with him till 180 pass .

Shouldn't be difficult but it is the USCIS that we are talking about after all. Unless it is passed as law, it wont happen. A dual stage I-485 application process was being discussed last year but nothing came out of it. Piecemeal legislations will not pass as the public wants CIR not bandaids.
And FYI, EAD does not eliminate employer dependency—you still need an employer.

Tom,
I appreciate your reply a lot.
. My company people told me that they would be mailing the h1 transfer application on april 24. And hence i can join on April 28. So i joined and started working from them. i trusted my company and never asked for copy of receipt notice or case number. Few months later, i got H1b approval. Hence never thought there was any problem, until recently when i realized that Receipt Date on the H1b approval notice is May 15.
This difference b/w my actual joining date i.e. April 28 and Receipt Date on H1b Notice i.e. May 15 is causing the concern
Any advise in this regard is appreciated.

First of all, congrats to everyone in the final stages of this tedious and frustrating process.
I have a question for people who filed I-140 and I-485 concurrently and got their receipt numbers.
I have gotten receipt numbers for my concurrently filed I-485 and I-765 as I paid for them (PD April 2003, I-140/I-485 filed at NSC). I do not have receipt for I-140 after more than 2 weeks. My employer is not giving me receipt number for I-140 as he may be wanting more money from me. Now, I have read in a forum that I-140 when applied concurrently should have receipt number very close to I-485 receipt number and normally I-140 receipt number is less than I-485 receipt number (i.e. if I-485's last four digits are 4600 then last 4 for I-140 number will be lower than 4600 and close to it. So, in theory I can scan numbers prior to mine and find closer ones for the same date and track them.
If you can please check your numbers and tell me if your I-140 number is before your I-485 number and how close they are to each other, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks fromnaija, If she maintains any non-immigrant visa she can be added without any 'follow-to-join' petetion right i.e., she can be added to my 485 just like the normal process when my PD becomes current.
Yes that's correct as long as the marriage occurs prior to when you want to add her.

Hi Guys,
One of my friend is working on L1 visa in chicago. He has approved H1b from last year. He is planning to go for stamping in mexico. Question is, After H1B stamping can he work for same company on L1? Forgive me if it is stupid question.

My labour was filed for a software engineer position (java, udb, etc) 3 years ago. Over that time, my role has changed to a project manager. Infact I don't do any coding anymore. If I invoke AC21 after 180 days, can I switch to a Project Manager position?
thanks,
These are two different skills, unless you can manage to have job description of your new job to be the same as in LC. Or you can leave it the way it is, provided your employer intends to hire you as a software engineer upon approval of LC, and you intend to accept it. In the meantime, do whatever you want - project management or anything unrelated.

Thanks for your reply. In this specific skills or requirements, we also listed several tools, I let my former employer listed them in their experience letter. Other than that, I really don't how to proof them.
on 2nd req, my opinion would be to submit following related to ur skills.
- certifications earned from industry recognised bodies like PMP or OCP etc.
- any inhouse training recd certificates
- any vendor recd training certificates

I have my H1-stamping and I-94 valid until March 07, My H1 extension was applied during Nov - 06, but not approved yet....In the mean while, can I visit India and return by Feb 07 ? On my return, I will still get my I-94 till March 07, but Once my H1 extension is approved it will have the I-94 attached to it till Mar 08, is this I-94 valid ?
My employer is saying that, the new I-94 that I got from my H1-extension is not valid and they have to file a new H1 OR I have to convert the H1 extension to Premium and travel with the approved H1 extension ?
Please advise. Thanks
