hi friends,
some time ago i contact my senator through this site
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s1085/show
and wrote to him about plight of workers in limbo for years
if not decades ... following is response i recieved... request
all those stuck in GC limbo to contact their senators...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. immigration policy is based on four underlying principles: reunification of families, admissions of immigrants with needed skills, protection of refugees, and diversity of admission by country of origin. The Immigration and Nationality Act specifies priorities for permanent immigration using a complex set of numerical limits and preference categories. Immediate relatives, defined as spouses of citizens, children (under 21 years of age and unmarried) of citizens, and parents of citizens 21 years of age or older, have been given priority in the immigration process.
Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) introduced S.1085 on May 20, 2009. This legislation seeks to reduce current immigration backlogs by classifying lawful permanent resident (LPR) spouses and children as "immediate relatives." Currently, spouses and children of LPRs must obtain visas through the Family Second Preference category. This can lead to a waiting period of several years. Among other things, this bill would allow unused and unclaimed visas from 1992-2007 to be placed back in the pool of current available visas for families, and would establish a �roll over� system for unused and unclaimed visas in the future. This bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, where it awaits further review.
I will continue to work with my colleagues in the Senate to craft effective solutions to address our nation�s immigration problems. I will keep your thoughts in mind should S.1085, or any similar legislation, come before me in the full Senate.

My AOS was denied few months 4 months ago after I switched using AC21. Since my current employer has their own attorney (Pappas Lenzo in Boston) they filed for MTR and it is still pending. I was on my H1 which will expire in another 2 months. The attorneys are saying it takes time for MTR to be successful. But was not sure it would take this long.
Anyone has experience who filed I-485 MTR and it was successfull through this attorney.
Please PM me if you do not want to share the experience in public.

Folks,
How long does it takes to get an Advanced Parole documents after filing I485?
Will it be safe to file I485 and AP/EAD if I am planning to go to India in next 4 or 5 months?
Thanks

I gues with iin 2 months for AP. but i don't know in current scenario with lot of applications. There is no harm in filing AP & EAD with 485. Even if you get them you can use it or not choice is yours. but if you use EAD h1/H4 will be invalid and you have to come back in AP. Also if you come in AP then your H1/h4 will be invalid you have to use EAD.
I think 4-5 months is decent time to get AP. But with current volume I am not sure.

Do I need to provide any proof during the interview stating he is my step son? or the documents between the mother and the son will suffice?
Proof that he is biological son of your wife (birth certificate).

My EAD expires on 07/28/2010. My EAD renewal is currently pending (applied online on 5/18/2010 at NSC). My AP expires on 08/24/2010. I am planning to apply for AP renewal once I finish my move to new address.
So, I really don't know which date to put. BTW, USCIS online application didn't mark that field as required.
Put the latest date ( AP ) . May be you can indicate that you are on AOS.

What I feel is nothing wrong with this idea. Since the job market is sluggish people may be skeptical about the prospect of getting a job in this market but if you are providing some technologies that they can learn in less time and get some promising jobs they will definitely come and join. One should make sure that the candidates should be given consultation/help in getting jobs also. Here probably start with some familiar courses for less fee/no fee in the beginning and try to get some referrals and slowly try to establish it.
Good luck in your venture.

Hello,
I wonder if there is anybody who could help me with my questions about the diversity visa in US.
I was among the randomly selected people for DV 2009. Currently I am in US with F-1 visa. I learned that I am eligible for Adjustment of Status. Do you think it is reasonable to process my files in US or should I go back to my country?
What kind of documents should I fill in? Also I need to pay the filing fees (for I-485 $930 for example). Are there any other costs? I also read that there is a medical examination report, how much could it cost to me?
So after reviewing everything what will be the best decision for me? I asked an attorney but he didn't have enough of experience to help me, and I can not afford one more attorney.
I will be thankful if somebody could enlighten me on these.
Thank you very much.

Sure can! See the tracker. There is at least one person who filed in Texas and has his/her EAD approval date before the Finger Printing date
I also had got my EAD way before my 1st FP - but that was in 2005
Did anyone get I485 based EAD before the first FP? Thank you!

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said that on September 15, 2009, the worst recession since the 1930s is probably over, although he cautioned that pain - especially for the nearly 15 million unemployed Americans - will persist. Bernanke said the economy likely is growing now, but he warned that won't be sufficient to prevent the unemployment rate, now at a 26-year high of 9.7 percent, from rising. The recession, which started in December 2007, has claimed a net total of 6.9 million jobs.
With expectations for a lethargic recovery, the Fed predicts that unemployment will top 10 percent this year. The post-World War II high was 10.8 percent at the end of 1982. Some economists say it will take at least four years for the jobless rate to drop down to a more normal range of 5 percent.
Analysts predict the U.S. economy is growing in the current quarter, which ends Sept. 30, at an annual rate of 3 to 4 percent. It shrank at a 1 percent pace in the second quarter, much slower than in previous quarters. While many on Wall Street have been encouraged by early signs of stabilization in U.S. home prices and hope the housing market may have hit bottom, others aren't so sure.
Still, Bernanke's declaration that the recession likely ended marked his most optimistic assessment yet of the economy. And his remarks came on the same day that the government report that retail sales jumped 2.7 percent in August, the most in more than three years. All this helped to lift stocks on Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial averaged gained nearly 57 points to 9,683.41, its highest finish since Oct. 6. He said that the economy is coping with "ongoing headwinds," including hard-to-get-credit for consumers and businesses, and households saving more, spending less and trimming their debt. Those forces can weigh down the recovery, he said.

Can we go to local USCIS office and get new I94.Does that resolve the issue.
No, CIS local offices don't do this. There is no mistake on the I-94, so the only way to change it is as described in the prior answer.

Alright all,
Celebrating the good news here.
Question: Did anybody receive confirmation about their AOS applications being returned after filling in early July (Say on the 2nd or 3rd)? I know there have been rumors about a few returned applications but I haven't actually found anyone in such situation + my attorneys confirmed today that USCIS specifically instructed not to return/reject them.

I would suggest you ask your employer B to file thru premium processing. Just to be on the safe side
cancellation takes atleast a month if not more. (4-5 months is not a confirmed number so its better to assume the worse case of 1 month)
cheers

Thank you for the advice nat23. I will talk to my lawyer about this.

Dear all:
May I ask what I should do in the following situation?
I hold F1 visa and my new job starts on Sept 1. The int'l student office of my current university mistakenly set my OPT start date on May 6. My OPT has been approved and EAD card arrived.
That is, I will have 120-plus "unemployment" days accumulated by early August, which will then violate the "90-day unemployment rule" of OPT.
I am under tremendous pressure and really want to hear your opinions.
Many thanks in advance!

It does. MS = BS + 5yrs experience per the general guideline principles followed by CIS/companies. My EB2 was applied when I had around 1yrs exp after MS. Imp thing is that the job for which your LC is being filed should have EB2 requirement. Make sure of that. Otherwise, even if a PhD candidate is employed for a layman job, it's doesn't warrant EB1. the driving factor is the job's requirement.
