Why not microsoft? The rest of high tech industry will not survive if they can't move their 60% of operations outside of USA. Bone headed congress will continue to come up with legislation that encourage illegal immigration and discourage legal immigration. Sounds like 19th century for UK, 20th century for USA and 21st century for China and India. Dollar declines and what is the use of GC? I am thinking of going back where the growth is.

Hi Gurus,
My PD is 04/2002 and RD is 18/June/2007, EB3 India. EAD approved and fp done in Aug.
There are no soft LUDs on my 485 after 7/17/2007. What does this mean? Is there a way to check if I am stuck in name check?
I see many people with later RD and PD getting soft LUDs. Is anyone else in the same boat? Please advice..
thanks
-badal
So now we are tracking Soft LUDs as well :)
Not getting a soft LUD is the norm. It just means your case was not an exception and you can't expect any miracles ..Yet! But Getting LUDs is not guaranteed to result in GC approval either. So please stop worrying about every little thing and enjoy your life... (Like I'm doing visiting this forum every now and then ;)

I am in a little bit of a strange situation and wanted to know what my options are.
Just started 8th year of H1 (have approved visa + stamp upto 10th year).
Am considering switching jobs mainly because my current one is too frustrating.
Found another offer I like but they do not have an immediate requirement but want me to start 3 months from now. They are, however, willing to have me start earlier and work for a week or so and then go on a leave of absence for a month or so. I also would find the one month break useful to go to India and deal with some family issues.
I would apply for my H1 transfer and actually switch only after it is approved.
Does anyone see any issues with this? ie., going on an unpaid LOA outside the country, especially in a new job. Would there be any issues while coming back at port of entry?
Any advice/feedback would be appreciated.

can you really claim refund? Is there any rule?
It is specifically mentioned in the forms and online when you file for any applications that USCIS is unable to process any refunds requested by applicants regardless of an error in the application, withdrawal of application or an error on the USCIS's part. The wordings may not be exactly the same but in a nutshell they are saying "NO REFUNDS!!!"
I noticed it when I applied for EAD online and thought I goofed up the application and see what my options are.
I hope this helps.

To everyone who reads my post. I apologize for not being clear. The article says that they are talking about eliminating the per country caps and giving green cards to STEM graduates. In my haste and excitement I should have spelled this out. Now with that said I do not appreciate the snide remark from the previous poster. This is a forum for productive discussion, not for people to be condescending. So let us rejoice that maybe people are listening to us!

I have completed 3.5 years of my H1B and am looking at the possibility of applying for GC either under EB2/3.
After my 12th, I did a 2 year Diploma in Business from Australia and then did a 2 year MA(History) in correspondence (open uni) from India and also a 1 year PGDCA by correspondence.
I have more than 10 years of IT experience to go with my 12+2(fulltime)+3(correspondence)years of education.
Questions:
Please advice if I qualify for EB2 and if so will there be any issues ?
Please advice if I qualify for EB3 and if so will there be any issues ?
The challenging thing here for your attorney is to provide proof that you have ABET 4-yer bachelor or equivalent degree before filing i-140. Even EB3 is going to be challenging task. Remember H1B requirements are different from EB green card.:(

My wife did her MBA and used her OPT before marriage. After a gap of OPT period she again went to school and got a MS degree. During her OPT, she did not work at all. Now she is unable to get second OPT for her recent MS degree.
Is there a way out to get second OPT? Can this new law (29 months OPT) if passed, be used to apply for second OPT.
What should be best approach? Please advice.

Can we go after State dept to have them make an administrative fix to publish 2 sets of Visa dates, one for Visa posts and one for USCIS. CIS Dates to reflect their processing length and allow for an early AOS application..
Just thought.. Suggestions are welcome.
Visa Bulletin for AOS and CP are two different HTML pages already :D. Your idea will not fly. BTW, Update your IV tracker

Thanks Dixie. I think I will talk to my lawyer.
I guess I will have to apply for I-140 again, right?

Since EB-1 does not need labor certification, the process is completely independent of EB-2. As such you cannot "port" your EB-2 application the way people transition from EB-3 to EB-2. You will have to apply directly to USCIS with evidence of your "extraordinary ability" in your field, such as honorable membership of professional bodies, research track record, letters from well-known people in your field etc. The first stepto convince USCIS about exceptional ability is very involved, but there on I-140 and I-485 should proceed far more smoothly than EB-2.

Hi guys,
I know this is Off Topic (OT), but I was wondering if ALL Tax payers including immigrants on H1B will be getting the proposed tax rebates. This had happened in 2001 as well and my citizen co-workers remember getting checks.
Does anyone who was on an H1B in 2001 remember getting a similar rebate check? I definitely dont remember getting one.

Hotel News Now, a leading Global Hospitality publication, ran a two-part series about staffing challenges facing the U.S. hotel industry. I was honored to be interviewed by the publication and share my insights on the problems facing hospitality employer in these challenging times.
With the level of unemployment about 8.5 percent, why do hotels still need foreign workers? There are various reasons, from location to the attitudes of American workers. And changes in schedules and lifestyle have affected one of the former staples of summer work�students.
The situation is bad for staffing professionals in the industry, said Jacob Sapochnick, a San Diego, California-based lawyer whose practice is devoted to immigration law. �Even though they can hire local people, they can never rely on them for the full term,� he said. �If you have a large hotel, need 50 housekeepers and hire locally, the turnover is very high. They find a better job or one that pays more. When you have H-2B workers, they know they have them for 10 months. Their visa depends on them working at that hotel.�
The more turnover, the less likely the hotel will function properly, Sapochnick said.

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/Magnify%20Glass.jpgIn our blog of yesterday (http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/2010/04/border-guards-will-finally-use.html), 1 April 2010, we mentioned the new screening procedures at US ports of entry (POE). Fong & Chun's clients travel a great deal, passing through Los Angeles and other immigration ports of entry. As lawyers to so many travelers, we try to provide accurate information about border issues. We have learned a little more about the new screening protocol.
In the past, all citizens of certain countries believed to be supporters of terrorism would all be scrutinized indiscriminately. Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, and Sudan are widely believed to have been on this list of soi-disant unfriendly countries. Citizens of other countries -- perceived as "friendly" to the USA -- would be subject to less scrutiny.
The new POE screening procedures use intelligence-based threat assessments. This information will be applied to all persons arriving at a POE, including Americans. If border guards have intelligence that -- let's pretend for a moment -- a university-age male student from Africa might be trying to engage in dangerous activity, then the border guards would be on the lookout for university-age male students from Africa. In contrast, university-age male students from, say, Malaysia, M�xico, Moldova, Monaco, or Myanmar would not be subject to the same scrutiny.
This new, intelligence-based approach makes the most of the information provided by US intelligence sources without painting everyone with an indiscriminately broad brush. --jcf

Hi Gaurav,
Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible to customize the scrollbar inside a WebBrowser. The WebBrowser is almost a direct inline view of the IE browser, so if your IE browser's scrollbars were different, then I believe the WebBrowser control's scrollbars would be different as well.
In other words, the style is inherited from IE.

This is a bit of a convoluted question, so I'll start at the beginning. In 2005 my husband(UK citizen, I'm a US citizen) was arrested for domestic violence. At that time, he had been overstaying his visa waiver for about 9 months, as we had been meaning to file his request for permanent residency, but had been lazy and put it off. Anyway, since he overstayed, USCIS took him to a detention center, where he stayed for about a month, and one day they just told him he was going home, they bought him a plane ticket, and sent him on his way. He never received any papers of any kind, all that happened was that his A-number was written in his passport. One of the agents told him he'd have a 3 year ban, another told him it would be 10 years. So, anyway, it's 4 1/2 years later, and we've started trying to find out when he could possibly re-enter, just to visit(we both live in the UK now, but still have family in the States). From what we read, we realized that maybe he wasn't actually technically deported. We called EIOR and found out that his A-number isn't in their system, so obviously he wasn't actually deported. The woman there said it sounds more like an expedited removal. We tried asking ICE what the length of his ban is, and they said we'd have to file a FOIA to find that out. So, until we do that, we're going with the working theory that it's a 5 year ban, since that seems to be what you get for expedited removals. Anyway, if it does turn out to be a 5 year ban, he'd be able to return in a few months, which would be awesome, but we're wondering what the chances of getting approved for a B-2 are. Also, assuming they let him visit, what are the chances of him ever getting a spouse visa, so we could one day move back to the US? Thanks!

When I went to my county health dept to get vaccination shots (for medical exam), they asked me to see the civil surgeon first, "else you will pay lot more for shots that you do not need". I gave them the standard list (MMR, Polio, DTaP, Influenza type B, Hepatitis B), and there are a few more in (page 3 of) I-693 form (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-693.pdf). Someone on this thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5553) (second-last post) says you may need a shorter list based on your age group. Did anyone recently take these shots, and can she/he give the correct list here?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I and the lawyer studio failed the first request for a VISA. I didn't like their way to work and all the money they asked ( 12000 USD for nothing) so I am looking for alternatives.
Is it my right to have back FOR FREE all the documentation they have collected ?
Thanks
