Timeliness of this rule making proves critics of USCIS wrong. USCIS is a efficient organization after all. So what USCIS wasted ton of EB visas, and is taking for ever to issue a memo on same or similar job...... :mad::mad::mad::mad:
Also Obamaji its gr8 that you put additional fee on H1B so that you can protect border crossing. How about putting the additional penalty on people employing undocumented folks? You could not even bring the CIR on the floor but you were able to pass penalties against skilled workers so quickly.

I would like to file my PERM through a good immigration lawyer in bay area. Does anyone have any recommendation? Has anyone used Indu law firm?
Some of the big names like fragomen etc seem to handle mostly company cases and are too expensive for individual case filing.
Also how much is the charge typically for the whole GC process or PERM. I know it would vary depending on lawyers but i am looking to get some general idea on how much people on the Forum have spent filing their cases from GOOD lawyers.

Hi people, I am currently applying change of status from H1 to F1. Since my PERM got audit, and my h1 visa is going to expire in the end of January 2009, I need to change my status to F1 student visa in order to stay in the U.S legally. Now, I am trying to fill out the form I-539 by myself, and I got confused on:
part 4. additional information on 3g:"Have you, or any other person included in this application, been employed in the U.S. since last admitted or granted an extension or change of status?"
I don't know should I put "YES" or "NO", I have never done "i-539 for change of status" on my first F1/OPT to H1 visa....but I actually worked in the U.S...
Can anyone help me to answer that? thanks a lot!!!

Not sure what to say. But I believe in your original H1 petition requested dates of employment were only for one and a half month and I think you will get only that. Unless attorney files an amendment and documentation for additional 3 years. I dont think USCIS will even look at I-140 approval since it was not eve part of the packet

HI all,
I would like to have your opinion regarding my spouse visa, I applied for H1B visa in Cairo Egypt. I'm a female IT pro and got the visa with my 2 sons 5-2 years old. My husband was not given visa, VO never asked him any question and just stapled a paper to his passport to track his visa status online. I asked VO wheathre that means my husband was rejected, she said no just some delay, it takes some cases more time.
it has been one month since I did my interview in the consulate and nothing updated on that web site. My husband has his sister in USA with Green card. What do you think the situation will be? is it rejection or wil get visa later?
thank you all in advance.

If your I-140 gets approved when you are already in the sixth year, can you still seek the 3 year extension?
Yes U can.

ICE officials provided a copy of a new policy memo (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7169978.html)dated Aug. 20 that instructs government attorneys to review the court cases of people with pending applications to adjust status based on their relation to a U.S. citizen. ICE estimates in the memo that the effort could affect up to 17,000 cases.
The Department of Homeland Security is systematically reviewing thousands of pending immigration cases and moving to dismiss those filed against suspected illegal immigrants who have no serious criminal records, according to several sources familiar with the efforts.
Opponents of illegal immigration were critical of the dismissals.
"They've made clear that they have no interest in enforcing immigration laws against people who are not convicted criminals," said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for strict controls.
In a June 30 memo, ICE Assistant Secretary John Morton outlined the agency's priorities, saying it had the capacity to remove about 400,000 illegal immigrants annually � about 4 percent of the estimated illegal immigrant population in the country. The memo outlines priorities for the detention and removal system, putting criminals and threats to national security at the top of the list.
We expect more cases terminations across the United States in the next several months.

Hi,
I am in desperate need of answer to my question and good thing I found this forum.
I have a boyfriend who was a refugee and so he has a special case green card that doesn't expire. He was 2 yrs. old when he came here but never thought about applying for citizenship. Last year, we decided to go to Philippines this Feb 2011 due to a friend's wedding and vacation. He couldn't apply for passport since he was born in a refugee camp and so he doesn't have a birth certificate. He decided to apply for a I 131 on August. According to the I 797 that he received, received date was Aug. 30, 2010, notice date was Sept. 1, 2010. Since we were expecting to receive the I 131 before our travel date (feb 4th to be exact), we decided to buy the tickets last month (december). He's been calling USCIS about his status and yet, he got the same response as to what is posted when he checks his status online "accepted" which is not very helpful. He asked the customer service rep if he can expedite it and they said, they can't do anything about it. It's very frustrating that we can't get hold of anyone who's really working on his paper. Then somebody told us to try Infopass. He scheduled it today but the earliest date is on Jan. 21st which is like 2 weeks after our scheduled departure. Will that be enough time for them to process it just in case they will just gonna process it by then?
My other questions are, can Infopass help him with his problem? Can they release his I 131 or refugee travel document by the time of his appointment? According to their processing time, it should take them 3 months and it's been more than 3 months, can we travel without a travel document and without a passport? This is very frustrating and stressful... Your response is very much appreciated..

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The H-1B quota is slowing reaching its limit. The so-called advanced degree cap is now full and approximately 53,800 cases have been counted against the 65,000 allocated to the regular cap. USCIS has advised that those wishing to be counted against this year's cap should submit their applications as soon as possible.
A lot has been said about how much longer the H-1B quota has lasted this year. There's a been a lot of speculation about the reasons why the quota is still open. It's pretty obvious that the economic situation has led to a reduced number of filings, but less people talk about the other reason. USCIS is generally pretty skeptical about the H-1B program, believing that many candidates for H-1B are filing marginal cases. This has increased the number of requests for evidence that USCIS has issued this season as well.
While the open cap provides an opportunity for a late-season submission, H-1B applicants and their employers should be well aware of the scrutiny they may have to endure. Working with advocates like the attorneys at Fong & Chun, LLP will ensure that you have a candid opinion before you make the decision to file an H-1B and how you can make a difference in your chances by simply being educated about the H-1B process.
Anyone wishing to file an H-1B case should call the attorneys at Fong & Chun, LLP for a free consultation and realistic assessment of their case. ---ecf

I'm with Michael on the lizard shot ... maybe it's the disconnected rear foot that makes it look odd.
I REALLY like the water lily shot, Josh. The composition is beautiful, with the other lily pads forming a "circle of circles" counterbalance to the flower. Very, very nice ... in fact, probably my favorite of all your posted photos. (not that I have anything against the others)

Found this interesting information on the shusterman.com.
"The next day, Representative Tom Lantos (D-CA) introduced the "Health Improvement and Professionals Act of 2005" (H.R. 139). The bill proposes to "recapture" over 130,000 immigrant visas lost due to bureaucratic inertia during 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004."
