As part of Class action lawsuit can we ask for recapturing of all unused visa numbers? I believe the number is at least 300K, it covers the green cards for 2003, 2004 and 2005. 2006 can go with 2008 quota. So everyone will be happy.
I believe this is the provision we should fight for instead of CIRcus.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks

Since 2000, a total of 182,694 work-based visas have not been given out because the immigration agency had fallen behind in processing applications, according to the 2007 report of the immigration agency�s ombudsman.

I just got back on AP a few days ago. My AP was issued in Dec 08 with validity upto Dec 09. When we entered US in Jan 09, it was stamped with a parole dated Jan 2010exactly a year from the arrival date. I asked the officer as to what would be the actual expiration of the AP since there are 2 different dates (1 month apart in my case). The officer replied that if i had to leave the country again using the same AP then i would have to return back before the original expiration date of Dec 09.
I have no idea why they would stamp a year from the date of entry when the validity is considered to be the original expiration date.
Best would be for you to schedule a infopass and inquire to confirm.
The AP (which is a travel document) just allows you to enter the country (or like I mentioned before) to apply for permission to enter the US.
The I-94 determines your status and the date on the I-94 (and in the passport) is the date till which you are allowed to be in the US as a parolee. This is usually one year from the date you enter the US as a parolee. The assumption is that you get your GC before that one year is up - and it has worked histrorically - but we now know better, thanks to the July 2007 fiasco.
Think of this analogy - AP is like the H1B visa, based on which you fill out the I-94. The I-94 determines the validity of your status.
At some point you might have to get a new I-94 issued (not sure how; maybe local USCIS office can issue you one) if it happens that you don't travel internationally before that one year is up.

I don't have the experience.
But I am planning to go for visa stamping. I was seriously contemplating to go to New Delhi consulate. My district is Mumbai. It would have saved me a logistic step of sending docs to VFS Mumbai in advance, also the appts seemed to be readily available.
But after going thru the posts at immigrationportal.com forum, I have decided to go to my own district. Don't want to take the risk of that 221g or admin review and run around messing my already tight schedule.
In your case, you already have an appt. If it is very difficult to reschedule it, you may want to take a chance and go to Mumbai. If you can reschedule it easily and fits your itenarary, do think of going to your own district.
BTW, if you think that IV is a help in your immigration journey and have not contributed yet, please contribute to the cause. You can find the required details on the homepage.

I have a question, I am working with my GC sponsoring employer, filed I485 during July '07. My I-140 approved during 2007. My company has applied for H1B extension (for 3 years based on approved I140) recently. Please note that this 3 year extension will stretch beyond my 6 year (H1B) period.
After the approval for 3 years, can I transfer the H1B to another employer? Since this extension is based on approved I140, is it legal to transfer that H1B to a different employer? (I have used the terms ‘extension’ and ‘transfer’ just for understanding purpose. I am aware that I will be getting new H1B (non-cap) every time).
I have EAD and AP but wondering why I can not transfer H1B?
I am getting different opinion for the above scenario; can somebody shed some light? Those who said it is not possible pointed that this 3 year extension is employer specific since it is based on approved 1140. Somebody else said I can transfer until my 6 year period but not beyond to that? Others said no matter what I can transfer my H1b to any employer. I am confused, please help.
yes you can. Since your PD is >365 days old. It does not matter that the I-140 was from a different employer, its important that its not been revoked until now. You dont need any active support from that employer (no verification letter etc). Just some proof of your PD being >365 days old, and an I-140 approved for that labor. (copy of I-140 approval notice perhaps)

Came to USA in 2001 Feb. As many other stories, my old employer did file my labor on Jan 2006 on EB3 though i was eligible to file under EB2. I have 3 + 2 years in India.
Changed employer using EAD in 08.
Current company is doing porting to EB2.
Unlike before, Now USCIS rule is have MSc(Computers) after completing 3 year degree in india is no longer equal to US master degree
it should be eaither 4(engineering)+2 (masters) or 3(BS)+3(MCA/other)
thus its equivalent to US bachelors degree.
So my employer (big 17k employees) decided to file based on my exp.
Job description says "Bachelors degree (B.A) in related area and 4-6 years of experience
in the field or in a related area."
Will this be a problem as one of EB2 requirement is BS or equivalent US degree with 5 years of experience. But this job desc says its 4-6 years..

If I work on EAD and do not get the EAD card before it gets expires, do I need to inform my employer about the status. If I inform them they will be removing my name from the payroll and it will be hard to include it again. It is like my job getting terminated.

as long as the I-797 is current the expired stamp does not matter but do send a copy of it.
You dont have to renew EAD if she is not working and save $340. Her next EAD (whenever she applies) will be a new Application.
But do remember it always takes time to obtain an EAD so if she needs it any time in future she will have to wait so be very sure about not working. EAD is not a proof of legal status only an authorization toi work so you dont need it if you dont plan to work.
As for AP, unless you dont plan to travel even for emergency reasons of have valid H1 stamped or can get it stamped you dont need it.
For wife make sure her travel is not in between applications. She should travel with an approved AP and apply for renewal and wait for it to be approved before she departs the country.

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Case received and file gathering dust waiting for visa number.
On MM DD, YYYY, we received this application and mailed you a document describing how we process it. But you do not need to bother. Our system is so screwed up that we did not know how many cases we had pending. We did not communicate with DOL and DOS properly; so we ended up causing the July Visa Bulletin fiasco, which actually screws up your case even more if you were not one of the lucky applicants to have actually obtained your GC. But your increased fees for EAD & AP renewals have afforded us new janitors, so we will try to keep your files dust free.
P.S : If you are an advanced degree holder born in India. Hahahaha.
GOOD ONE... TIME TO LAUGH AND RELAX.....:D:D;)

My PD is Dec 2005 (EB2) and I'm on EAD. I dont know when I'll get the GC but hoping that I'll get it in the next year. I already got an RFE so I'm not expecting another one. The question is, if I get laid off now, can I buy a business (say a convenience store or a subway) and run it (while on EAD)? and would it cause any problems now or in the future when applying for citizenship? I know you have to work in same or similar industry, but my industry is hard hit with recession and I don't think I can find a similar job. So how will they enforce this? Or do they even care?

My I-140 and I-485 was filed concurrently in July 2004. I-140 was approved in October 2004 for EB3-India. In November 2006 I changed employers after I informed USCIS. We received notice in March 2007 to show another approved I-140 as my I-140 was revoked. My attorney replied invoking AC21 and stating that my I-140 remains valid. He attached my own letter informing them of employer change notiifcation as evidence.
On this we received another RFE in Sept 2007 stating that more evidence was needed in the form of employer letter and my tax returns. We replied to this with all the evidence. Then in October 2007 we received finger printing notice which stated that in order to continue my petition finger prints would be required. The case stayed at Vermont service center.
In November 2008 the case was transferred to Texas and they transferred it to NBC in April for scheduling an interview. The interview was done this month.
The officer did not have any clue about AC21 and insisted that I must show another approved I-140 or a letter from USCIS stating that my I-140 is reinstated. My attorney told the officer that processing on my petition was continued after the RFE, the officer went to find supervisor and could not find anyone. We were told that they would get back.
Today they denied my case on the same grounds that underlying I-140 petition is withdrawn.
What can I do now? I don't have H1B. How much help the MTR would be as it would go to same office. Please help. I am shell shocked.

Can we contact journos like Neil Cavuto, Sheryl Casone to talk about how giving GC to legals like us can stimulate economy in someway?
I noticed these Business section journos are endlessly talking about ways to prevent the recession.
We can suggest them to talk about recapturing of visas & giving the legals GCs as it can contribute towards (to some extent) a possible stimualtion to the economy(it will surely add to the percentage...) surely we are boosting the spending by making high earning legals spend more on say housing or Autos by giving them GCs...
Not sure if IV gurus are thinking on these lines.

This stinky ba%^#@rd speaks loud and confuses people a lot with out giving the clear picture of broken legal immigration and with out mentioning the pain of long waiting legal immigrants (Current system neglects and keeps honestly taxpaying and law abiding legal immigration based applicants , this jerk never mention the facts of the broken system, it's taking 15 yrs to get a green card for legal immigrant to become permanent resident which is unfair and keeps that individual and applicant family in the state of limbo). He always mixes legals with illegals (undocumented) and confuses all with his border protection preachings and with out respecting the country's backbone of business immigration.
He should be sent to jail and needs to be punished seriously.
Report: Lou Dobbs employed illegal immigrants
Lou Dobbs has long railed against illegal immigration and the employers who hire undocumented workers. Dobbs generated controversy � and faced boycotts � for attacking "illegal aliens" as host of a nightly CNN show. And since leaving the network in December, Dobbs has kept talking about the issue in interviews, in which he's also left open the possibility of running for senator or president.
But Dobbs might want to pause before making illegal immigration a signature campaign issue: At least five illegal immigrants have reportedly worked on his properties.
The liberal Nation magazine, in a yearlong investigation conducted with the Investigative Fund at the Nation Institute, found that "Dobbs has relied for years on undocumented labor for the upkeep of his multimillion-dollar estates and the horses he keeps for his 22-year-old daughter, Hillary, a champion show jumper."
The Nation's Isabel Macdonald writes that while Dobbs has bashed employers for hiring immigrants without papers, he "has been far from vigilant about the status of workers laboring on his own properties." (The Nation has long editorialized against Dobbs and those who agree with him on immigration.)
Dobbs owns a 300-acre estate in Sussex, N.J., and a winter home in West Palm Beach, Fla. His daughter keeps five show horses worth about $1 million each at several stables; the horses are owned by the Dobbs Group, of which Lou Dobbs is president.
Macdonald spoke with several immigrants who were employed to work on winter property and helped with the upkeep of Dobbs' horses at stables in Vermont and Florida. "I looked after Dobbs' horses while I was illegal," said one man. Another worker said that he believed Hillary Dobbs knew they didn't have papers. (The workers did not give their real names for fear of deportation.)
Macdonald wrote that another worker worked on the garden at Dobbs' Florida property. On one occasion, that worker said, Lou Dobbs � who referred to himself as "Luis" � instructed him in Spanish to talk to his boss about moving a specific plant. Macdonald interviewed other immigrants who worked at the holiday home.
Hillary Dobbs did not comment for the article. And Lou Dobbs, through a radio producer on "The Lou Dobbs Show," declined to comment. Robert Zeller, Dobbs' attorney, said Dobbs would answer questions only on his live radio show; the Nation agreed to be on the show, but only after publication.
Dobbs has not yet responded to a request from The Upshot to discuss the allegations, which are sure to get attention given the commentator's very public views on the subject. The Nation compiled a video of Dobbs' past statements
