I have not seen the letter myself, but from the content, it appears to be a specific reply to your letter. I request you to get a couple of friends together and schedule a meeting with the Senators local office. IV website has lots of resources and if you were to let us know once you have the meeting set up, one of us will get in touch with you and brief you on how to conduct the meeting.
Thank you for your help. Keep us posted.

Hi there,

Thanks for the link GC_ASP.
Health insurance is a daunting concern, esp. in times like this. One suggestion is to think about High deductible HSA plan. This plan will work best for People who are healthy and have no health issues, but want to cover for the unexpected emergencies.
For example, I opted for 0/1500 plan through Kaiser Permenante. This plan will allow you to roll over the extra $s into next year and from next year to the next, etc. You will build an account (and I think can invest the money to grow it further). You can use the funds from the account that you built over the years to pay for future expenses. But the catch is, they will pay for your claims only after you spend the first 1500/Yr. Basically, this is an option to control how you want to spend for your medical expense.
Like I said its good for healthy adults. For children this may not work, because they might need more medical care than healthy adults.
Cheers!

Are both of these I-140s on the same labor cert?
Whats the RFE about?
What does your lawyer say? Ignoring the RFE does not seem right, at minimum you should contact USCIS and explain the situation to them.
thanks for responding.
Yes, both these 140s are on the same labor certification.
I haven't received the actual RFE yet, just received an email from CRIS indicating that they need additional information.
I am going to contact my lawyer today and will find out what he thinks we should do. I completely agree with you, I should inform USCIS as well about the situation. I just don't know if situations like these are normal or not?
Do you have any other suggestion? Thanks again!

I filed I-485 in July 2007 through my employer (EB3 with Priority date - 02/2004) and my wife filed her I-485 adjustment of status at the same time. We don't have our H-1 visas anymore and using EAD & AP for employment and travel.
We want to adopt a child in India as Inter-country adoption (as a Indian resident). For this, my wife have to travel to India and stay with the child for two years from the date of guardianship.
As there is no Green Card in sight for EB-3:
1. If she stays in India for two years, will it affect her I-485 application? If yes, how can we avoid that - like travel back to US once in a while etc.
2. As per US Immigration law, the parent(s) has to stay with the adoptive child for two years. Assuming that my wife stays with the child for 2 years in India, will the child get a visa so that we can bring the child to US? or do we need to file a I-485 for the child? What happens if my GC is approved within that 2 year period? Can we still bring the child to US? On what type of visa/status?
Appreciate any help in this regard.

H4 is completely depends on your H1, does not matter if it is an extension or new. If you have good to take it with other documents, if not, I don't think thats a problem. As long as you have all your H1 documents ready, she will get it.

I need to file for my tax refund now, but my employer is not sending me my W-2.
I used to work in US for 3 months under a program called Work and Travel. My employer is supposed to send me my W-2 now, but they haven't. When i checked with them, they told me as they never received my social security, a W-2 was never issued under my name. But the fact is that, they sent me an email last August telling me that they sent out my social security card on 23/07/2008. However the problem is that as they did not note down the correct address, the mail was lost (Anyway i am going to the US Embassy in my country to retrieve it). So i think they were cheating.
When i told my manager about this email, she explained saying that it was not about the social security. She said the W-2 was sent to them after i had left US, so while they never had it when my checks were issued. So it was never sent to their corporate as i am no longer working for them. And i think they are cheating me again.
I do not really understand how this works. Is her explanation reasonable?
What shall i do for my tax refund now?

Hello,
My husband's employer told him that the 6 year H1 B stay cap has been eliminated since the year 2008. Is that true?
Does it mean that as long as the USCIS approves your H1-B extension you may apply even after 6 years?
Thanks.

Hi,
I got a dream job offer and I have not yet applied for OPT. I have not graduated from school and that's why I applied for CPT.
I just want to know can I work on CPT till my OPT arrives? Also would it be of concern to my employer that I am working on CPT as long as I am eligible to work legally full time? Is that something I should intimate my employer about before joining?
I would appreciate if someone can reply really soon.
Thanks a lot.

My employer is refusing to give me EB3 I-140 copy so I am stuck. Can I not port from EB3 with old employer to EB2 with new employer without copy of EB3 I-140 COPY.. It is a huge firm and they say it's against company policy to give me even a photocopy of the document, please advise.
Also, I am not planning to quit the old firm just file a new EB2 labour with new firm. I do not have copy of old I-140 for EB3, is there anyway I can still port my PD from EB3 to EB2. I do not want my old employer to find out about this. Is this possible ?

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have experience with expedited H1-B filing? The one that you are supposed to receive the answer in 15 days. I am just wondering if it really works and if it is possible to hurt your petition by filing expedited?
Thanks a lot in advance.

I think these bills are too complicated and have possibilities of failing on the house floor, even if they pass through the senate..
My question to the group is: Does it make sense for us to lobby for changes to existing laws as 'amendments/enhancements' (do not know the exact term), which need not go through this full-blown congressional approval process.. Another issue that we are facing with the bills such as immig. comprehensive bill is that we get tagged together with illegal immig., so it becomes all the more probable to get rejected. I am just being realistic and urging the IV team to add one more action item to the agenda and see if we can put some efforts towards this additional agenda.
I think, in addition to supporting the bills, we should look at this additional possibility. Something like allowing I-485 even though the number is not available, just requires an amendment to the existing law. It does not require additional quota, so there is no major impact to immigration law as a whole. So, we may not need to wait for a bill to clear, in order for such reliefs to be approved.
My take is: we should strive for 3-pronged approach - 1) near short term approach is to ask for immediate relief such as I-485 filing without the visa number availability; there may be other such reliefs possible - 2) short term approach is to support the current bills being considerd, as we are doing already - 3) long term approach is to think of what is the backup plan in case 1 and 2 fails
Just thinking out loud here.

You are spot on. I did spoke to some folks and every body said the same thing, you cannot bring the kid in this country unless the priority date becomes current. That could be long time the way things are moving....
Hence we are stuck almost same situation as you guys are....
Anybody who can give us any other alternative that would be great...

thx for ur inputs newbie2020. yes, i know that it is a conditional GC to start with.
my concern was - as far as i know, i cannot work actively for my own business on H-1B. hence i wanted to know if i could continue working on H-1B, apply for GC under EB-5 and then start the business after getting it.
attorneys, do u hv anything to add to what newbie2020 has said?
