AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Senator Sessions cannot leave his hands off of E-Verify. Now in "stealth" mode, Senator Sessions has slyly introduced an E-Verify amendment (SB 1371) during today's full Senate vote on the DHS appropriations bill.
The Sessions amendment calls for a permanent reauthorization of the Basic Pilot/E-Verify program, and mandates its use for all federal contractors and subcontractors - including the verification of all existing employees. This amounts to a massive expansion of a program that is still not ready for prime-time.
We must call our Senators and tell them to oppose this sneak attack by Senator Sessions for the following reasons:
It would impose exorbitant costs on businesses at a time when our economy is most vulnerable:
An economic analysis commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
concluded that the net societal costs of the program would be $10 billion a year
� a cost that would be felt disproportionately by small businesses. It would make Basic Pilot/E-Verify permanent without addressing its well documented database inaccuracies:
A 2007 independent evaluation of the program commissioned by DHS found that
the Basic Pilot/E-Verify database �is still not sufficiently up to date� to meet
the requirements for �accurate verification.�
SSA has estimated that if Basic Pilot/E-Verify were to become mandatory and
the databases were not improved, SSA database errors alone could result in 3.6
million workers a year being misidentified as not authorized for employment.
This would result in 6 out of every 100 workers having to visit an SSA office to
correct their records or lose their job.
It would force workers and businesses to pay a high price for Basic Pilot/E-Verify's inaccuracies:
Queries submitted to Basic Pilot/E-Verify by Intel Corporation in 2008 resulted
in nearly 13 percent of all workers being initially flagged as unauthorized for
employment. All of these workers were cleared by Basic Pilot/E-Verify as
work-authorized, but only after �significant investment of time and money�
and �lost productivity.�We urge all AILA members to call their Congressman today and oppose the Sessions amendment (SB 1371). Don't let Senator Session's stealth tactics create a nationwide crisis for employers!

Q : Will this affect my ability to travel?
Possibly, if you leave the country prior to the completion of the receipting process and do not have the appropriate travel documents, you may have difficulty returning to the United States.
Ok so no travel unless you have AP...right?
We decided to wait until we received our I-485 notices (got them) or the AP (not yet).

Hello All,
My first I-140 (EB3) got denied and is pending in appeals office for more than 1-1/2 years. Since 140 was denied my 485 was also denied.
Later we filed new labor (in 2009) and 140 (EB-2) and got approval after 8 months.
My questions are:
1. Can I file 'motion to reopen' for 485s based on new 140 approval and use the previous priority date (which is 2004)?
2. If not, can I file motion to reopen 485 based on old 140 (which is pending in appeals office) and later if they are open, can we link these 485s with new 140?
Please advise.

"The mission of Immigration Voice is to organize grassroots efforts and resources to solve several problems in the employment based green card process including (a) delays due to Retrogression (visa number unavailability for certain employment-based categories) (b) delays due to USCIS processing backlogs and (c) delays due to Labor Certification backlogs. We will work to remove these and other flaws by supporting changes to immigration law for high-skilled legal employment-based immigrants. High-skilled legal immigrants strengthen the United States' economy and help maintain American technological superiority"

Like I said earlier, you have 240 days before you go out of status. If you are receiving an RFE, it means your case is under review. Upon receiving your response to the RFE, the officer should be able to adjudicate case fairly soon. However, if you are nervous, I recommend file for an expedited review when sending your response. That said, I would hate to pay the extra $$$$ if I don't have to.

Hi,
My H1B expired on sept 2009. My employer applied for my visa extension I received my approved 797 copy, but I 94 number on my 797 and passport are not matching. To explain further, when I first entered in US in March 2007 I got I 94 (ex: 123), when I last time entered in US in April 2008 I got I94 (ex: 456) which is my latest I94 number displayed on my passport. My latest H1B extension valid till sept 2012 is showing I 94 number issued to me when I entered in 2007 (123) instead of my latest I 94 number(456) attached to my passport.
Will this be a problem? I have to sponsor my in-laws visa so please guide me how this can be handled. Any help appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Current employer A, H1B cap-exempt and in 2nd year. Both H1B and attached I-94 will expire on 7/5/2009.
New employer B, H1B cap-subject, required starting to work on July 7/27/2009 or I may loose my offer.
I-485 is pending > 180 days. I have EAD and AP in hand. On 2/4/2008 I used AP once and the entry I-94 says PAROLED until 2/3/2009.
One attorney suggested to be able to start to work for employer B on 7/27/2009, I�ll need to file a new H1B (or you call it transfer) petition before 7/5/2009, requesting the start date on Labor Condition Application to be 7/27/09. The new H1B effective date will still be 10/1/2009.
Regardless the issue of going back to H1B from parole, my question is what is my status during the gap between 7/5/2009-7/27/2009 (before LAC effective) or 7/5/2009-9/30/2009 (Before new H1B effective)?
The other question is when you apply for H1B extension/transfer after using AP, which I-94 did you gave to USCIS?

If someone dont get an LUD, he may still get GC. LUD does guarantee that someone touched your case. From , it appears most guys got GC without LUD's.
So, please dont panic if you dont get an LUD.

The primary applicant's H1-B status must be valid for the dependent to get H-4 VISA stamp. The primary's own VISA stamp is not an issue.
I second that.
As long as your H1 "status" is valid (I 94 is not expired and you are working for H1 job at the employer that is mentioned on I 94), your family members will only need copy of your approved H1 (form 797 with attached unexpired I 94). They will get their visa without much problem.
Good luck.

You can work 2 jobs as long as you have...2 H1 visas, one for each job!!
That could be 2 part-time or 1 full time and 1 part-time.
I believe there could be a problem if you have 2 full-time H1 jobs at the same time...

What do you mean by filing ?
Is there anything to file for AC21 ? I somehow thought it's implicit and you just have to let USCIS know that you have changed your job. That's all. That too is not a mandatory task but most lawyers suggest it to play safe. I think it's matter of sending the letter with details to USCIS.
You just be prepared to explain at the 485 interview or reply to RFE's or NOID's if sent by USCIS, which wont happen till your 485 date is current or your sponsoring employer withdraws 140.

Same question came up for my wife in 2004 when she did not yet have a licence to practice dentistry and she wanted to apply as a dentist and our attorney told as that during LC when advertisments are placed at that time you should have the degree and the licence ready so as to apply for that particular job.My wife got her licence in 2005.Hope this answers your question.

I have valid H-1 visa to re-enter US. My visa is valid till Dec 2011. I already got that stamped when i went to india last year.
So I shouldn't run into any problems at the port of entry, even if my AP gets approved while I am out of the country, right? Thanks so much for taking time to answer.
yeah, you should have no problems. Take a copy of your I-485 papers with you too. But do not show unless they ask. You will exit and re-enter in H1 status.

A penny saved is 'far better than' a penny earned because you don't have to pay taxes for the penny you saved whereas you have to pay taxes for the one you earned!

Hi,
I was working with company# A as Electronics Engineer from Dec ’03 to Jan ’07 on H1B visa, Company# A filed my GC in May ’05 (as Electronic Engineers (Except Computer), 172072.), then later I got very good opportunity in IT field, I quite Company# A and joined Company #B because I build very good relation with Company #A and there were ready to continue my GC file. In August ’07, I filed I-485 (I got EAD based on pending I-485). Now Company #B giving me lay-off, so my question is –
Company# A still want to hire me after I got GC (because they were very happy with me, right now they don’t have position to hire me back), In this case can I continue working in IT field on EAD status (right now I am on H1B). My current (IT) and Labor profile are both different.
Thanks for your time.
I don't think so.
Your GC is sponsored by company A for "Electronics Engineer"
Your new job in IT would be neither 'Same' nor 'Similar' to the GC job.
So you cant use EAD to work invoking AC21.
You can find new employer who can sponsor H1 though and work in IT.
Thanks,
Krishna

As far as I know, nothing that is being considered in the Senate is going to relieve the Green Card backlog.
They have plans to eliminate the backlog in 5 to 8 years not immediately. So if one chooses not to re-apply under the new point based system, waiting time doesnt change much for him. (It may be become worse because they are cutting down immigrant visas in EB category from 130k to 90k)
But if one decides to re-apply under the new point based system, things may become faster.
I am hoping that under the new system, they will give some priority to people who already waited for a significant amount of time under the old system.
This is just my analysis based on the articles I read on the internet and the bill text itself.
