Hi,
I have applied for I-140,I-485 and I-765 on 16th of Aug'07,dint get the receipt yet. I would be leaving to India this month and would return only in Feb'08.
My major concerns are:
1. once I get the notice for FingerPrints, can I reschedule it to Feb'08.
Is it advisable.
OR
2. Do I have an option of getting my FingerPrint done at any consulate in India.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

July 30, 2007
Washington, D.C. � Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) today introduced a bill to void the recent increases in immigration fees by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The bill would void the new fee structure set to take effect today and reinstate the previous fee structure. The bill also states that USCIS has consistently failed to reduce application backlogs and has suffered from a lack of transparency and effective management.
�Our immigration services need to move into the 21st century,� stated Rep. Zoe Lofgren. �But, USCIS has consistently failed to explain or justify the amounts and distributions of this new fee increase. While I agree that USCIS needs to modernize its existing infrastructure and procedures, they must do so in a transparent and open manner. After repeated requests over several months, USCIS has yet to provide Congress with a detailed plan for its infrastructure modernization efforts. Our immigration system should be both effective and fair; sacrificing one to achieve the other should not be an option.�
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren is serving her seventh term in Congress representing most of the City of San Jose and Santa Clara County. She serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law. She also Chairs the House Administration Subcommittee on Elections and serves on the House Homeland Security Committee. Congresswoman Lofgren is Chair of the California Democratic Congressional Delegation consisting of 34 Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives from California.

zCool, Thanks a lot!
Last Status counts situation DOES NOT apply here.
That rule applies to situations where you've gone from h1b to h4 or ead etc..
In your case, you can have as many approved h1b petitions as possible since it's really petition approved for that employer and your are merely beneficiary.
BUT you can ONLY work for 1 employer at a time..
Going by your situation.. if you have approved h1 from company B and are working with company B. THEN you are okay.. to hell with what company A may choose to do..

Hello,
I would appreciate any help on the below matter. Thanks in advance!
My information:
----------------------
Priority Data: March 2008
I-140 approved
About to apply for 3 year extension of H1B after 6th year( which expires on Dec 1st 2011)
My Questions
----------------------
If I move to another company as soon as my 3 year H1B extension comes through and they start my GC process again, what do I have to be careful about regarding
1. Is this even possible?
2. Will the H1B keep getting extended after I switch employers.
3. Can I keep my PD?
4. If the new company is in a slightly different field but my job remains similar, does that matter?
5. What happens if after I transfer, my current employer revokes my i-140? Does that matter since my new employer will restart my GC process anyway? (Also, do i get to keep my PD in this case?)
Thank you very much!

I am sure IV has thought about this...
But just curious if there are any mainstream News channels or Media that is covering or publishing anything about the IV Advocacy event and IV's agenda?
thx
The aim of advocacy day was to meet lawmakers. It was not really for media publicity. It was not a rally. Infact we canceled the press event that we originally planned to focus on lawmaker meetings. There are already hundreds of articles in the media on Greencard backlogs published in the last 4 years. Articles will anyways be published when there is activity in DC on this issue. Reporters contact us every now and then for stories. The most important work we need to do is meet our lawmakers in person and get relief on Immigration. We believe we have been very successful in the task of meeting lawmakers and administration officials during the advocacy days. This will help us in the Immigration reform next year. We now need to continually work on reinforcing and advocating our changes until the bill comes on the floor. You will see lots of media articles on this issue when there is any discussion on relief in the months to come.

I suggest we start with a parallel campaign to increase the number of IV members . Each IV member to bring in atleast one new member .
Steps to take:
Explanation : Explain, Teach /Preach or do whatever it takes to tell people about IV and what its mission is. Many people think IV is just a propaganda. SHOW them what IV has done. Tell them about the Rally Tell them about the FLower campaign . Make then visit the site
Reasoning : Make them understand that the EAD or the Labor that they are sitting on was not gotten thru some magic wand. It was thru efforts . Efforts of us IVians.
If we are able to get one person each to enroll. I am sure atleast 20 % of the new enrollees will start to understand IV and maybe contribute to it as well
This is something that can be done sitting where u r without any special effort. Let go IVians . This is one of the easiest things to do
CORE team please help and support.

07/06/2007: Hard Working Women and Men in USCIS Behind the Visa Number Fiasco
From the information available thus far, this reporter believes that no one in the agencies intended to bring about this fiasco. It was lack of close communication and coordination between the USCIS and the DOS and more or less a poor handling of the situation at some level within the USCIS. The people should remember that there are many and many women and men in the agency involved who worked hard just like you and me to do the given jobs, including managers, supervisors, and other higher ups. The agencies should take this fiasco as a good opportunity to learn a lesson on what could go wrong in the management of immigration services and responsibilities affecting hundreds and thousands of other human beings. This reporter has been visiting the field offices, particularly Nebraska Service Center and other local field offices, almost every single year for over past 20 years and have met the "human" faces of hard working officers and other workers working in tiny cubicles and facilities that cannot be described as fancy offices but more or less factories and plants. When I report the current news, this reporter sees the faces of the women and men that I have met who worked in the not necessarily fit office space and environment. Without doubt, the current fiasco should be one way or another corrected and prevented in the future. However, the people should not take this opportunity to dehumanize the current event and easily demonize other people with no faces. Probably this is the time when these women and men need most an emotional support and boost from their invisible customers. After all, things will go through the legal process or other processes to correct the mistake. Low morale of these women and men will help no purposes and causes. On behalf of our readers, we want to send a big "CHEER UP" to these women and men!

I happened to read the following on a different thread on IV
"for cases that has to be filed by overnight courier that is by the USPS Express Mail the center will only pick up mails from the U.S Postal Service once a day and in the morning. Therefore any mail that is not picked up in the morning will be picked only the following day and is given a next day receipt date."
Does it mean that any packages that were sent out yesterday(Thursday) will be delivered today(Friday), but USCIS will only pick it up on Monday morning and then assign Monday as the receipt date? Anyone with some knowledge on this, please clarify.

GC is for future employment. So if your current employer have no problems you can just transfer your H1B to your client and start working for the client. Later when your PD is current you can add your wife.

Has anyone in Charlotte, NC got a extension on the Driver's license on the basis on the H1-B renewal application receipt.
My spouse's driver's license expires this month end. I have applied for h1-b/h4 renewal, yet to receive the application receipt.But wanted to know if anyone here in Charlotte,NC got a extension/grace (30days or 90days) on the basis of the receipt.
thanks.
I have a similar situation. My NC license is expiring and I am not sure if i will get the H1 renewal in time. Were you able to get it extened with the application receipt?
Thanks for your help.

Dear Friends
I have a friend who is currently on H1B, currently on vacation in home-country, and stuck in PIMS verification.
1. he has H1B from current employer (valid till 2009) - Employer1.
2. another H1B from previous employer - Employer2. Previous employer ready to hire him again.
3. His spouse filed for his GC and his EAD, AP has already been received. Spouse has approved PERM, pending i140 and pending AOS.
He came on H4, converted to H1B (with Employer2), then switched to Employer1. Then went on vacation, and appeared for H1 re-stamping interview with i797, documents provided by current employer (Employer1).
Now he is stuck in PIMS verification, and the current employer want him to join asap and threatening to terminate her employment.
Assuming that current employer does not revoke H1B, but terminates him, can you help answer following doubts -
[A] validity of such a stamp on passport -
Q1. Will the visa stamp (with current employer) be vaild?
Q2. Previous employer hasn't revoked the H-1B, will that still be usable for jobs, re-entry?
[B] Re-entry
Q3. Inspite of termination, can the stamp and i797 of the current employer valid for re-entry?
Q4. Should he rather use i797 of the previous employer + passport (with stamp of current employer) for re-entry? Previous employer can provide offer letter and job description etc.? Is this route valid and will they allow re-entry on this?
Q5. Though he wants to continue on H-1B, but if his current situation may result in violation of any provisions, should he rather use Advance parole to re-enter?
THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE FOR ALL YOUR RESPONSES!!!!

Immediate Calls Needed to Stop H-1B Increase
Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) is leading an end-of-year effort to nearly double the importation of H-1B nonimmigrant foreign workers and to more than double the number of employment-based (EB) permanent residents admitted to the United States each year, among other things. This proposal would:
� Depress wages in high-skill occupations.
� Force more highly-skilled American workers onto the unemployment rolls.
� Further erode America�s middle class.
� Deter American children from pursuing degrees in high-tech fields.
Call the capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 or (877) 762-8762. Tell your Representative and Senators to oppose any H-1B increase. Who represents me?
