Hi,
My family had visited me way back in 2004 on a visitor visa. Due to unavoidable circumstances, they had to stay beyond the stipulated 6 months ( for 2 more months). We had requested the govt. for extension approval and it had been granted then.
We would like to have them visit us again by Nov of this year. However, when they went for the visa to consulate(last week), it got rejected, because the consulate person informed them that they had overstayed last time around.
I would like to know when can I legally apply for the visa again? And is there a way I could enhance my chances of an approval, rather than a rejection, next time I try. I am working on an EAD and my husband had filed for I485 for our family(I140 approved stage).
Any advise would be appreciated.
Regards,

The Migration Policy Institute has released a report outlining the impact of the global downturn on the movement of immigrants. Key findings include the following: � The recession has dampened the movement of economic migrants to the major immigrant-receiving regions of the world. And, counter to some widely held public perceptions, immigrants overwhelmingly are choosing to stay put in their adopted countries rather than return home despite higher unemployment and lack of jobs. � While the overall picture is one of sharp remittance decline, some regions are experiencing remittance increases or are holding steady. Though remittances have dropped globally amid...

Can labor and I140 be filed from an employer, even if employee is not working for that employer currently, may be with the intention of joining that employer at later date? Please reply.
How about 485?
thanks.
Yes. GC processing is for a future job. So, labor and I-140 can certainly be filed without being on the payroll. I think I-485 also can be filed before joining the firm. But you should confirm this part from a lawyer.

I was laid off in Dec 2009, but severance will stop till early Feb. Now I found two potential jobs. Company A is a corporation in same state, but company B is a university in some other State.
1. How long will take them to transfer my H1B? does the different States matter on this transfer time? I want to make sure which one can submit the H1B transfer before my paycheck stops in Feb.
2. In order to apply for Green Card later, which job is better for Green Card application? I heard university will not help the staff (accountant) for Green Card application. Is that true?
Thank you so much!

From Walter Ewing at the Immigration Policy Center: It would seem that the Center for Immigration Studies has decided to jump on the talk-radio bandwagon of far-right commentators who are loudly attempting to derail substantive health care reform through fear-mongering and falsehoods . Although CIS has so far steered clear of the baseless rants about �death panels� and �socialized medicine,� it has issued a new report that seeks to buttress an equally farcical claim: that health care reform will leave American taxpayers footing the bill for millions of unauthorized immigrants who will receive federally subsidized health insurance. Specifically, the report...

We need to keep this momentum going!!
The next steps?
1. Send flowers to Congresswomen Zoe Lofgren.
2. Push for recapturing unsused visa (Make media aware that 200,000 were unused and there would be no increase in numbers!!).
3. Counter attack NumbersUSA/Dobbs propaganda!

Hi,
I have applied my H1 extension in Sep 2008 and got RFE in Dec. RFE was about my work address and we have sent the details. On March 2 2009 I have received the email saying Denial Notice Sent. Not sure the reason yet. I wanted to check my options. I do have EAD. But not used. What is my visa status now? I am planning to resubmit my application based on the denial notice. If I resubmit will I have status in US? Or should I work on EAD. If I work on EAD what should i do? I mean do I need to file AC21?
Please help
Thanks

Hi,
I did not find a conclusive answer to my situation when i looked up multiple immigration forums.Hoping you folks can help.
My H1B expired on Jan 13th 2011 and my employer filed for extension on Dec 17th (Regular process) for Client A using LCA filed for City A. The case status is in initial review. Due to project reasons employer now wants me to move to City B for the same client. But my company's immigration dept have some reservations doing the relocation while the H1 extension is not approved yet.
1) Can we move to a location other than the one filed in LCA before the extension approval.
2) Can we use a already existing LCA for city B.( My company already has a Blanket LCA in city B). what is the relationship between the validity of the LCA and the H1 extension that is being requested in the petition.
3) Can we file a new LCA for city B. would this need a H1 amendment
4) Will any of the above options negatively impact my extension approval.

Looking for a lawyer that is somewhat familiar with the Child Status Protection Act to answer some questions. If you are in the NYC area and would prefer I pay a fee, please PM me. I have consulted a few lawyers already but none are familiar with the act nor have they filed for anyone that uses this act.
My father filed his Labor Cert. in Aug 1996. I was 19 at the time. He then filed his I-140 on July 2000, and his I-485 on Dec 2000. He received his Greencard in August 2001. I was 24.
According to this faq from Shusterman: http://www.shusterman.com/hr1209-faq.html
the new law provides that she would be automatically reclassfied to an appropriate category, presumably family-based 2B, and that she retain her father's original priority date. This would be the date that his employer submitted the labor certification application.
Does this apply to me? According to this, would I retain my father's Priority Date of Aug 1996? I currently have an approved I-130 with a priority date of Jan 2002 under F2B which my father filed after he got his greencard.

Guru's,
I am on my 7th year H1B, valid until next year.
My labor was approved Oct,2007 under EB3 (all education from India).
I-140 was applied in May, 2008 and it has been a frustrating 2+ yrs since I have heard anything. Attorney inquired with the USCIS and got a response that it is still under review.
This delay seems to be very unusual. Do you think this delay is due to my education from India only. I have seen folks with Master's degree from US gettting I-140 in 2 - 6 months max. I am worried that this may turn into a denial.
Anyone has similar experiences with education only from India.? Any advice if I should go for I-140 premium processing or wait ?

Hello All,
I just wanted to ask for your general advice. My H1B expires in July 2010 so I know I have to turn in my PERM application before then so I really have only about 2 months to start recruitment process. I also have a green card to Canada so I could go there but I do like my current job in the US and living in New York City is really great!
Anyway, my question is. How tough do you think it will be to start PERM process now in this current economic downturn and the fact that it is in New York (millions of people)? Do you also think there might be some legislation in a near future to make it more difficult for us to get green cards?
I understand you can't answer those questions exactly, but a piece of advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all!

I entered US on H4. Then applied for H1 for software job. worked for 2 months last yr and then went for maternity leave.
Now I started working again and I still have to go for stamping.
I have completed CPA and I would like to move to an accounting firm ( they have to file my H1 transfer with accounting domain).
Is this going to cause any problem during H1 transfer or stamping??
Please advise me...
Thanks,
NSK.
Interesting question. SOmeone recently asked me the same thing. She came to US on H4 and is having a h1b being done by a body shopper as a QA tester in IT, but she is actually a pharmacist and would like to get a H1b transfer if she finds a good pharmacy job.
I am not sure how h1 transfers work in case it is different profession.
I guess they should work fine because people can have multiple skills, some people gain skills over time like say, people do MS or MBA while on h1b, and then apply for a different kind of job and get a transfer.
Gurus must be able to answer this question.

Yes, you can apply for H-4 despite the fact that she has an H1 petition approved. It is difficult for me to comment on her H-4 rejection chances as I am not familiar with your cases, but generally if you are on valid H-1 status then you should not have problems.
