Hi,
I have an approved I140 and a PD of Apr 08. I am planning to change company .
Some where in May I heard the news that end of this year USCIS is going to halt concurrent filing of I-140 and I485 and introduce an extra step called Pre-App for I485 and which can only be done after I140 approval.
1) what are the chances that this would happen?
2) What will happen if one switches company after 180 days of PreApp of 485.
can he/she invoke Ac21 ?
3) will Pre-App makes one eligible for EAD/Parole ?
Thanks

your help needed please.
On page 7 of the Instructions for Form I765, under RENEWAL EAD, it is mentioned that no filing fee is required if we are applying under the category (c)(9) or (c)(16) Adjustment applicant who applied after July 30, 2007.
I applied in the 2nd week of August 2007 (but it was still in the July 2007 fiasco). So do I need to send application fee when I send my I765 application for renewal??
Below is the link to I765 Instructions -

with 90 days validity and I have not seen my receipts or checks cashed yet.
My lawyer replied to 90 day validity. He mentioned that if at time of sending documents if the check was valid and had not expired then application should be accepted.
Also he mentioned that with so many procedural errors being overlooked in this last July visa bulletion, this has to be looked over, since this is not a problem of candidate sending documents.
And there is nothing one can do about it, so i am thinking it will be alright.
We will be fine.

I have one question?
What if my employer cancels I140 and I don't have any other job on my hand? This can be a possibility for me in near future. I am searching for a new job and my employer is going to cancel I140.
Is it good to wait for any RFE or denial and if it occurs, just sending them new EVL of any consulting firm (with or without project) will help?
Thanks in advance.

Shortly after class, an economics student approaches his economics professor and says,
"I don't understand this stimulus bill. Can you explain it to me?"
The professor replied, "I don't have any time to explain it at my office, but if you come over to my house on Saturday and help me with my weekend project, I'll be glad to explain it to you." The student agreed.
At the agreed-upon time, the student showed up at the professor's house. The professor stated that the weekend project involved his backyard pool.
They both went out back to the pool, and the professor handed the student a bucket. Demonstrating with his own bucket, the professor said, "First, go over to the deep end, and fill your bucket with as much water as you can." The student did as he was instructed.
The professor then continued, "Follow me over to the shallow end, and then dump all the water from your bucket into it." The student was naturally confused, but did as he was told.
The professor then explained they were going to do this many more times, and began walking back to the deep end of the pool.
The confused student asked, "Excuse me, but why are we doing this?"
The professor matter-of-factly stated that he was trying to make the shallow end much deeper.
The student didn't think the economics professor was serious, but figured that he would find out the real story soon enough.
However, after the 6th trip between the shallow end and the deep end, the student began to become worried that his economics professor had gone mad. The student finally replied, "All we're doing is wasting valuable time and effort on unproductive pursuits. Even worse, when this process is all over, everything will be at the same level it was before, so all you'll really have accomplished is the destruction of what could have been truly productive action!"
The professor put down his bucket and replied with a smile, "Congratulations. You now understand the stimulus bill."

Hi,
There are some changes in applying for US visa from canada.
Please read this article, talk or find someone who recently tried it, make sure there are no issues and then plan your travel.
MurthyDotCom : Change in Procedures to Apply for a U.S. Visa in Canada (http://murthy.com/news/n_chacan.html)
There is a change in the procedure for applying for a visa at a U.S. consulate in Canada, which went into effect September 1, 2010. As many MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers apply for U.S. visas in Canada, this information should help them to plan appropriately.
New Appointment System
To schedule a visa appointment in Canada, applicants must use CSC Visa Information Services to apply for a U.S. visa at a U.S. consulate in Canada. There are no surcharges for phone calls or access to the appointment service. There are standard visa issuance fees, of course, which are charged by the U.S. Department of State (DOS).

Xu1, could you please post a separate thread or email admin about this. Right now, this post is buried in the thread about Immigration Voice featured in Roll Call.
Thanks.
Thank you for taking up such a good cause!
I have one suggestion for the website.. Search engines are usually parameters-averse. For instance Google claims they may stop crawling if the links have too many parameters. The non-forum part of this Joomla powered website mostly utilize &s and ?s parameters in the URL.
The Joomla installation comes with an SEF component that converts &s and ?s into comma-separated directory structures.. You guys can turn it on in the admin panel. The conversion makes the URL look even uglier but it is at least SEF-compliant. Or there are other third party Joomla components that do a better job (though may require slightly more tuning)
Thanks.

Looks like AGjOBS bill has good chance of passing. Does anyone know what the definition of agricultural worker is ?
Could one by considered agricultural worker if they are in landscaping business ? what about in agricultural sales.
We are about to see creation of huge black market for documents claiming someone is farmer if this rule is passed.
Can one be illegally working as Ag worker while on H1 ? :)
May find something here AgJOBS Amnesty Legislation Re-introduced (http://www.numbersusa.com/index).
AgJOBS amnesty legislation that would provide amnesty to close to 3 million illegal aliens was re-introduced in the Senate and House by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA; S. 237) and Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA; H.R. 371). The Senate passed AgJOBS legislation as part of its �comprehensive� immigration bill (S. 2611) last May, but the measure died when the House refused to take it up before adjournment. In addition, both the House and Senate saw stand-alone AgJOBS measures (H.R. 884 and S. 359) introduced during the 109th Congress.

Ezra Klein - Should states set their own immigration quotas? (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/11/should_states_set_their_own_im.html)
The Kauffman Foundation has a report out ranking the "new economy" states. Their methodology "measures the extent to which state economies are knowledge-based, globalized, entrepreneurial, IT-driven and innovation-based � in other words, to what degree state economies� structures and operations match the ideal structure of the New Economy." The winners? Massachusetts, Washington, Maryland, New Jersey and Connecticut. The laggards? Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas, Alabama and Wyoming.
I never really know what to make of reports like this, but one of the metrics is "immigration of knowledge workers," which really isn't under the control of individual states. Visa quotas are set by the federal government. But why? There are a lot of places where a national solution really is best, but that seems particularly untrue in immigration. Detroit, for instance, has a lot of empty houses, a lot of shuttered factories, and a lot of emigration. They could probably use a bunch of immigrants to occupy homes, buy things, and start businesses. Similarly, California has had a pretty good experience with letting highly skilled immigrants start tech firms in the Northern part of the state. Maybe they'd like to let even more of them in to do it. These graphs explain the potential appeal (click for a larger version):
immigrantbusinesses.jpg
There are obvious difficulties with having a California visa that doesn't work in Oregon. But we have limited visas now -- think student visas, or temporary agricultural workers -- and we seem to get by all right. Another concern would be that certain states would be overtaken by xenophobia and basically shut off immigration, though Arizona suggests that you can do quite a lot to make immigrants miserable even without changing the number of available visas, and my hunch is that any state that went too far in this direction would face a tremendous outcry from its business community.

Nobody other than the USCIS will know, so if you get any any replies, do not believe them.
If you have waited like me for 6 years to get your Labor Certified, then be prepared to wait another 6 years for 140, even if your PD is current and watch others who filed 5 years after you get their GCs.
I urge IV to raise one issue at the DC Rally. Please please ask Mr. Chertoff to do away with this farce called "Priority Date". It is an useless concept and should be done away with immediately. Everyone knows that the GC process is totally random, so why have something known as a "Priority Date" when it is anything but a Priority Date.

Hi,
I am currently on h1b visa without a project from past 1 year in US and my employer asked me to convert to L2 visa dependent on my husband who is on L1 visa . I do not have any paystubs for my stamping. If I go to canada consulate for stamping, what is the success rate for my visa being approved?Will I be able to come back to US without any issues.Also, can you suggest me to which consulate should I go for my stamping?Please help!
Thanks.
If you didnot receive pay for 1 year means you were illegal in USA. This site is for highly skilled Legal immigrants. you can file a complaint against ur empoyer for not paying wage once you are on L2. If you win case against ur employer keep record with u and go for l2 stamping .. you should not have any issue.
Note : I am not an attorney. This is my view and can be differ from other.

Am I eligible to get the Visa stamping done in London?
It is very unikely that the US consulate in London will accept your visa application unless you have close ties to the UK. You will probably need to apply in India, or consider Canada or Mexico.

Thanks for doing this service which helps many ppl's lives.
My employer applied for H1 extn last year (sept'08) and after my project ended in Nov'08, I left to home country in Dec'08 (I-94 expired)and I recently came back on H4. I heardfrom my employer that I got an RFE asking client letter and due date was May 4th. He did not respond since I didn't have project. Now I am in the process of project confirmation, and I have to be on H1 to start working again,
1) Do I have to apply for new H1 (non-cap) or just apply for H4 to H1 COS or both? if 'both' then can I apply both in one package under PP? Can I start working on receiving receipt number?
2) Can I apply H1 with the same employer, will there be a problem since he did not respond to RFE before? or can I apply for H1 transfer to a different employer using the previous H1 receipt number(is the receipt number still valid) or apply for new non-cap H1?
