U.S. SENATE TO CONSIDER IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION
CONTACT YOUR SENATORS TODAY
U.S. SENATE TO CONSIDER IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION
Background. Democratic and Republican Senators, along with the Bush Administration, are currently negotiating compromise immigration reform legislation which could be considered on the floor of the U.S. Senate beginning the week of May 14. Should these negotiations falter, the Democratic leadership could choose to bring the STRIVE Act, or a similar bill, to the floor for immediate consideration. It is important that you contact your Senators in the next few days and ask for their support for a just and humane immigration reform bill.
USCCB Position. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and other organizational members of the Justice for Immigrants (JFI) Campaign are working to ensure that any compromise immigration legislation includes the principles set forth by the U.S. bishops. Any legislation which would warrant USCCB support would include:
1. a legalization program for the undocumented which includes family unity and a realistic path to citizenship;
2. a new worker program with worker protections and a path to citizenship; and
3. the preservation of family reunification as a cornerstone of our immigration system and the elimination of family backlogs and waiting times.
To contact your Senators, call 202-224-3121. The sample letter can be accessed via the JFI website at www.justiceforimmigrants.org or can be faxed to the Senators� offices. Use link below to Email the Senators.

Many lawyers charge companies hourly and usually big rates (usually regardless of how good the lawyer is and how simple your case is). Lawyers usually charge for every phone call and for every e-mail. So the employer might start worrying that your contacts might cost him a lot. Usually the respectable lawyer will not discuss anything with you directly if his client is your employer.
Just an advise for those who have an option: hire your own lawyers, you will see how different your case will go. Even if you have to pay them out of your pocket - it's worth it.

You cannot work with an expired EAD. End of the story.
But if it is approved and you haven't got the card in your hand , few companies would allow you to work for 90 days from the date of approval.
so a person whose EAD expires but is waiting renewed EAD card has to resign and then be rehired??? Isn't there some clarity regarding this?

I'm not sure about about the queston you asked here, but I was wondering you are EB-3(India) 2004, why is USCIS even reviewing your file ?
485 MTR acceptance letter is dated Dec 11, RFE is dated Jan 13, and FP notice date is aboout same(did my first ever FP last Friday). Could the MTR or FP have caused the review of my file? :confused:

[QUOTE=PS: The whiners brigade who think USCIS moved EB2 forward to make money out of EAD should know now[/QUOTE]
Maybe I am missing something here...Why do people think its a USCIS conspiracy to move PD forward...If someone's PD is current and he/she gets a 1 year EAD again, they will pay the $360 fee if they filed their I-485 before July 30, 2007, but they don't have to pay the fee again even if they get just a 1 year EAD...only they might have to do is to file the EAD application again next year WITHOUT the fee...

Krish,
it is not all black and white, if your previous LCA covers the new work location, you should be fine, else a new LCA is required.

I am working as FTE (no client). Our office physically moved to a new address within the same Metro area. There is no change in wage requirement as per flcdatacenter. In fact, flcdatcenter consider this as same division.

If we plan to send flowers, we should send them to the SAME place, same person, if a 100 different news stations receive these flowers, this would be of no consequence, the ideal person to send these to would be Bill O reiley, God (yea I invoke his name ;) knows that he loves to talk aout himself, and if you get him involved, and throw in the words like , "BUSH wanted us to be able to AOS", he is going to be all over it.
I am going to see if I can send him a note :)
LOL Yeah Bill O' Riley!!!
I was hoping that we could send it to USCIS!
It should be addressed to EMILIO T. GONZALEZ (Director of USCIS). I'll put the address out here once I get it! :)

Hi All,
I have got fingerprint notice and appointment is after 3 weeks in Charlotte NC. I will not be available on that day and do not want to postpone the appointment.
I would like to prepone the appointment and I tried to find Charlotte USCIS local phone number but could not find anywhere. The only number is general 800 number and that was of no use.
Does anyone have any experience with Charlotte office? Can I just go there and will they do fingerprint any day before actual appointment? Charlotte is around 4 hours drive. It will be painful to drive there and find that they don't do fingerprint before appointment day. What day is normally good if I want to take the chance? Have anyone actually called them and prepone the appointment? What is the local office phone number?
These are two many questions. But all are related. Sorry for being so long and thanks in advance for your response...
rangeela....
Not sure if you can prepone. Call the customer service and check if they can schedule sooner. I think, given the July fiasco/rush, they schedule based on the availabilty of appointment in local office.
Also can you please share you reciept date/notice date and when you received your FP appointment. Was your case directly sent to TSC or got trasnferred to TSC from other center.

I feel your pain. Here is my advice. Talk to your local Senator. I have been in contact with my local senator since Nov 2008. Finally, i got my I485 approved on 10th Feb, yet to receive cards though.
My senator, the longest serving in the senate history, contacted at least 3 times with USCIS, as recent as Jan 28th. So just take their help, dont even hesitate.
Dear sukant71
I highly recomend it, My friend too got it like that. Don't wait anymore, What's the harm it is going to make by contacting your local Senator. You have been already going through lot pain and agony.
I wish you best of luck.

In addition to that, there is a 90% chance that there will be an inquiry from USCIS when change of status petition (B1/B2 to H1) is filed, mostly asking the routine questions and the query would have to be replied by a good attorney in a proper manner.
That would cost your friend here some money as replying the USCIS inquiries is pretty routine but its not free and lawyers would charge you $$ for that. If you are doing this thru a small company, the company might charge you / your friend here for reply to the USCIS query. It would be a minimum of $1000 to respond to such inquiries by an average attorney.
Its better to go to India, get a fresh H1 approval (I-797) for yourself, get the visa stamp of H1 on your passport in India and then come here. You wont be able to start working until Oct 1 anyways.
Also, please dont open 2 threads for the same question. I am going to delete the other thread.

ultimate_champ: If your receipt notice's "receipt date" has August 03, 2007 then you can avail AC21 after 180 days from that date. I guess, your attorney is trying to play it safe or playing with you.

I have a i 94 problem.
i got my h1b approval(797).
went to india last december.
in the airline, i returned my old i94 instead of the i94 on the 797 form.
came back to US. the immigration officer didnt issued a new i94. i still have the 797 i 94 with me. not sure if that is the reason he didnt issued me a new i94 cause he saw my 797 i94 with me.
also my passport doesnt have a date of entry stamp on it.( at US)
is this a problem when i go outside US .?

Cygnet,
There is no such thing as a transfer - every petition is a new petition.
In your case, you can be exempt from being counted in the yearly cap if your I-140 has been approved. While filing the petition, your new company will have to attach a copy of the approved I-140, or prove that your I-140 has been approved.
Hello Friends,
I filed for AOS on 07/2007, stopped using my current H1-B on 07/2008 (valid thru 07/2009). I am EB3-India PD 03/2005.
My question is if I can apply for a new H1-B thru a new company in the US now, instead of a transfer? I have a valid reason for doing that. Do let me know.
Thank you.

Can moderators setup Web Fax for this?
we aready have a webfax for this

However, if anyone can spare a few minutes, pls. also send emails to these members from the site - http://judiciary.house.gov/CommitteeMembership.aspx
There is a website contact for each of the member.
An email from diff members of Iv in their own words apart from the webfaxes would add to our lobbying efforts.
