I got a letter from Zoe Lofgren's office, who is a Member of Congress representing California 16th District, in response to one of our web faxes on H-1B cap and GC backlogs. Below is the complete text from the letter -- it's heartening to know we are on their radar at least!
Now that we got their attention, is there anything we should do to follow up on this now?
- sirinme
================
Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate the time you took to explain the impact of the H-1B visa cap and the "green card" backlog on U.S. employers.
I understand well that the success of U.S. companies depends on highly educated and talented U.S. citizens and foreign nationals.
What we need is thoughtful reform that supports the American economy and allows American companies the benefit of the "best and brightest" from around the world.
As you know, the Republicans now lead in the House of Representatives, Senate, and White House. As such, Republicans control what bills and amendments are considered in committees and on the floor of the House of Representatives. They have taken no action for reform but have proposed legislating on a money bill in violation of House rules. Should Senate Judiciary Committee's H-1B proposal come before me in the House of Representatives, I will certainly consider your point of view.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if can be of further assistance to you or your family.
Sincerely,
Zoe Lofgren
Member of Congress

Hi,
Suppose the 485 is filed for a position (salary 70K). When using AC21, does the salary in the new company matters? Suppose if its 110K?
Also, does the title matter? Do we need to get the exact job title in the new company?
It may be one the criteria to check if the new job is same or similar.
Please check and verify details with your attorney/lawyer. This is NOT a legal advice.

There's no requirement for a person to be present in US while PERM or I-140 is getting processed.
During the AOS stage, a person may opt for Consular Processing or I-485. The former doesn’t require any presence in US whereas the latter does.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if its ok to mail my EAD & AP and spouse's EAD & AP renewals to be mailed in the same package to Texas? I can't find any posts regarding this.
The PO Box address for EAD is different from AP. But i think for non USPS carriers, there is only one address for Texas center (4141 N augustine rd).
So If I use this address can I mail all the 4 applications in the same package?
I am not trying to save money but feel that keeping all the apps together might help especially primary and secondary applicants...
Thanks.
My lawyer said we can use the same non PO Box address mentioned in the EAD to send the AP documents as well. According to the lawyer you can send it all in one big envelope and demarcate the I-131 vs the I-765 or do it like I am, in 2 seperate smaller envelopes and then I am going to put the 2 envelopes in the same fedex package and mail it out.

Hi,
I was a Donor few of months ago. Since last month, I am not able to see Donor forum or see my membership as "Donor". Wondering if there are any changes made to qualify one as "Donor"?
Thanks
Could you check and see if your subscription has expired.

Hi,
I have lost one of the old H4 I797 originals of my spouse. What is the process for getting a duplicate of it. I saw somewhere that I824 needs to be applied. But not sure of below doubts.
1. Who should apply I824? employer or individuals ( in this case myself)?
2. If employer need to apply, should it be current employer?
3. how long does it generally take?
4. Is it ok if I dont know the approval number as I dont have a copy of the I797.
5. What other documents are required?
Please help
Thanks,
Vikram
AFAIK old H4 797 is not important. My wife we did not have a 797 when we came here initially, also we had also lost her old H4 797 (but we had photo copies).Her 485 was approved without any RFE

My H1 expired and the extension is in process. But they did not file for H4 extension. I was told by my employer that she can get a visa stamp by presenting my H1 paper at the consulate. Is this true ? If so, what is the significance of H4 approval notice ?

Wait till you get your new H1 if possible and enter with new visa stamped on your passport. That is the cleanest way. You can also enter with previous H1 visa(with previous employer) and show the new I797. But i recommend you to go for cleanest approach.

Hey can we sue these law firms who have spread the rumors, I could not sleep all night yesterday. Think about those who have not submitted the paperwork to their lawyer yet ....
I saw immigration law (Matthew Oh) & Murthy publizing these rumors. Even Shusterman could have done the same he is one of the top immg attorneys but I feel just to make us already suffering souls file before the holiday these firms has run some water down our drain ....

Hey Gurus,
I am in confusion here.
I applied for my I-485(EB2, PD= Dec,2006) in july 2007. I was married that time and my wife was in India. She didnt get delhi consulate appointment so i missed her while i applied for my I - 485. Now she is in US on H4 visa. I got RFE last month on my I 485 regarding employment verification. I have replied for RFE.
My Question here is:-
If I get my green card(that chances are very less because my PD are not current... but on safe side), How i can add her into GC or 485 stage.
Have your docs ready. If your PD does become current send them such they reach on the first working day of the month your PD is current.

I just received an email from USCIS saying that my I-140 has been denied. I touched base with the attorney & she has not yet received any documentation from USCIS. This has been the 1st change in my status since Aug 07. My case is pending at TSC.
Does anyone know if this is a fairly common occurance for USCIS to deny I-140 without an RFE? Any advise on what to do next?
Thanks.
sorry to hear that and look at this link , might throw some insight once you know the reason..

04/29/2007: Need for Networking of Immigrants to Support Immigration Reform Legislation
When it comes to the community organizing and support activities for the comprehensive immigration reform legislation, there are hundreds of organizations that organize, network, and mobilize the immigrants in support of the issues involving the difficult issues of legalization of illegal aliens. However, the same is not true with the employment-based immigration reform issues. The lobbying and organizing and support of these issues rely heavily on the employers, businesses, and academic institutions such as competeamerica. Without doubt, the employers should be the most effective and powerful groups to pressure the Congress, President, and other players in the political process.
However, it is time that the immigrants themselves also participate in a similar effort to share information, issues, and supporting activities. Obviously, the first move is to organize and build a network throuhout the nation and the world, and along with the networking, other support activities must be conducted and expanded. There are not too many immigrant groups that are focused on the employment-based immigration reform issues. Currently, a website of www.immigrationvoice.org is launching this campaign and attempting to organize and network in the employment-based immigrant communities. This reporter urges the foreign professional workers to visit and join this group to help an activities of side-kick from the standpoint of stakeholder foreign workers in support of the employers and their support groups. "Networking" will create a power in the political process.

Thanks amitjoey .
I140 is already approved Was just waiting for 180 days to finish . So in this time of recession waiting for employer to find a project(corp to corp) or should i accept the offer and wait till i get the EAD to start work .
You absolutely have to wait till the EAD IS approved. Who knows, how long it will take for the EAD CARD?. You applied just 2 weeks back, it could be 2-3 months. Could you wait that long? can your new employer wait that long after you accept the offer?. Your new employer could apply H1 for you. That could be much faster, since you only have to wait for the receipt. (2-3 weeks).
To be able to work, you need either an H1 or an approved EAD

Hello, Thanks for your reply
Currently, i am in H1b and my Spouce is in H4. She is attending school in H4 visa (She got stampted and has valid i-94 till June 2011). My employer said my job will be termineted after 1 month. Can my spouce change H4 to F1 and start to attend the school or she has to wait until she get F1 COS approved? In the mean time, can i change my H1 to her f2(dependent) once she file F1 but not approved.
And are there any other options if i did not get a job to transfer my H1B?
Thanks
