USCIS has announced that for the third week in a row, the H-1B count sits at 45,000 out of 65,000 used. I presume this means that just a few hundred cases are being processed per week which is simply remarkable when you consider that there has been a lottery for H-1B numbers for the past two years. In my view, this is solid evidence that H-1B workers are not cheaper than their American counterparts. When one factors in the government fees, lawyer costs, travel expenses, etc. and the fact that employers are required to pay the prevailing wage for a...

Guys,
Here how it goes, one of my friends visa date got current in June 2007. He applied for his I-140 and I-485. For some strange and unknown reason to me , he did not file I-485 for his wife who is on H4 and thought that he will file later once he gets his receipt. Now he has his receipt and was getting ready to file the i-485 for his wife it dawned on him that dates are retrogressed again and the lawyer told him that he cannot file I-485 for his wife. Now the situation is that he has to wait until the dates get current, but what if they dont and he gets his green and his wife dont which will automatically make his wife out of status and she has to go back and you all know how hard it is to sponsor on green card.
My question is that, is this the true statement that he cannot file I-485 for his wife due to retrogression since his wife is dependent and should be able to file since his dates were current?
If this statement is true what are the available options

Thanks

Rbashir

Hi all. I'm looking for a little help with part 2 of I-485. I've sent off my I-140 and I am hoping to apply adjustment of status concurrently. I wondering which box to fill in part 2. A. looks the closest, it reads: 'an immigrant petition giving me an immediately available immigrant visa number has been approved. (Attach a copy of the approval notice......)' My trouble is this: If my I-140 is approved then my visa number is no problem, it is current for my category/country (outstanding professor/Canada). Since the I-140 is pending, this looks like the wrong box, however, none of the others look even remotely close. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bark

My sister's H1B petition was approved on 2008 and she was unable to travel US for the past 1.5 year.

She is working in a MNC company in India. Now, she came to US on her B1 visa 1.5 month back. Meanwhile, she got an offer from a client in US and she want takeover the new job on her approved H1.

So, can you please let me know whether the employer (whoever filed my sister's h1) can file the H1B amenment while she in US with B1 visa and having H1B approved petition? If so, how many days she has to wait to get the approved amenment to start her work at client place? The employer is going to do the premium payment so that can we assume the amenment will be approved for sure?.

The LCA is really required for H1amenment? Please advice. This is really urgent.

Thanks in advance.

The post office cannot forward your card. If there is a name
other than yours on the mailbox you use to get your mail,
the post office will not deliver your card. In either of these situations,
they will return your card to us as undeliverable.
- If you move before you get your card, notify your post
office, but also call our customer service number to update
your address and emphasize when calling that you are waiting
for your card.
- If you are living with someone else, and that person’s
name is on the mailbox, we recommend you add your name
to the mailbox, or you run the risk the post office will return
your card to us as undeliverable

Something I found on USCIS site. Not sure if it applied to just the greencard or the EAD card as well. But this is a good tip.

My responses are below:

My question:
1) Shall I disclose the arrest to the attorney ? I am concern that it may backfire as I said "NO" for arrest in the background check forms etc.

You Should say "YES" and produce all the court records.

2) Can I travel & enter US without any issues ? Do I need to carry the expungement letter with me all times entering US?

I would advise not to travel unless you get an attorney to review all your documents and get a confirmation that you are not subjected to any bar under Sec 212 of the INA.

3) Does my arrest go to FBI ? Will I be asked for interview when my PD becomes current ?

You could called in for an interview. But there shouldn't be any problem once you have all the records.

4) What should I beware ?

Is the Senate Germane? Majority Leader Reid's Lament (http://www.rollcall.com/issues/53_19/procedural_politics/19719-1.html) By Don Wolfensberger | Roll Call, August 13, 2007

Don Wolfensberger is director of the Congress Project at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and former staff director of the House Rules Committee.

The story is told that shortly after Thomas Jefferson returned from Paris in 1789, he asked President George Washington why the new Constitution created a Senate. Washington reportedly replied that it was for the same reason Jefferson poured his coffee into a saucer: to cool the hot legislation from the House.

Little could they have known then just how cool the Senate could be. Today, the "world's greatest deliberative body" resembles an iceberg. Bitter partisanship has chilled relationships and slowed legislation to a glacial pace.

The Defense authorization bill is pulled in pique because the Majority Leader cannot prevail on an Iraq amendment; only one of the 12 appropriations bills has cleared the Senate (Homeland Security); an immigration bill cannot even secure a majority vote for consideration; and common courtesies in floor debate are tossed aside in favor of angry barb-swapping. This is not your grandfather's world-class debating society.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nev.) frustration level is code red. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) input level is code dead. The chief source of all this animosity and gridlock is the Democrats' intentional strategy to pursue partisan votes on Iraq to pressure the administration and embarrass vulnerable Republican Senators. The predictable side effects have been to poison the well for other legislation and exacerbate already frayed inter-party relationships.

The frustration experienced by Senate Majority Leaders is nothing new and has been amply expressed by former Leaders of both parties. The job has been likened to "herding cats" and "trying to put bullfrogs in a wheelbarrow." But there does seem to be a degree of difference in this Congress for a variety of reasons.

While Iraq certainly is the major factor, the newness of Reid on the job is another. It takes time to get a feel for the wheel. Meanwhile, there will be jerky veers into the ditch. Moreover, McConnell also is new to his job as Minority Leader. So both Leaders are groping for a rock shelf on which to build a workable relationship. Add to this the resistance from the White House at every turn and you have the perfect ice storm.

Reid's big complaint has been the multitude of amendments that slow down work on most bills - especially non-germane amendments - and the way the Senate skips back and forth on amendments with no logical sequence. These patterns and complaints also are not new, but they are a growing obstacle to the orderly management of Senate business.

Reid has asked Rules and Administration Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to look into expanding the germaneness rule. The existing rule applies only to general appropriations bills, post-cloture amendments and certain budget matters. The committee previously looked at broadening the germaneness rule back in 1988 and recommended an "extraordinary" majority vote (West Virginia Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd suggested three-fifths) for applying a germaneness test on specified bills. But the Senate never considered the change.

The House, by contrast, adopted a germaneness rule in the first Congress on April 7, 1789, drawn directly from a rule invented on the fly and out of desperation by the Continental Congress: "No motion or proposition on a subject different from that under consideration shall be admitted under color of amendment." According to a footnote in the House manual, the rule "introduced a principle not then known to the general parliamentary law, but of high value in the procedure of the House." The Senate chose to remain willfully and blissfully ignorant of the innovation - at least until necessity forced it to apply a germaneness test to appropriations amendments beginning in 1877.

Reid's suggestion to extend the rule to other matters sounds reasonable enough but is bound to meet bipartisan resistance. Any attempt to alter traditional ways in "the upper house" is viewed by many Senators as destructive of the institution. The worst slur is, "You're trying to make the Senate more like the House." Already, Reid's futile attempts to impose restrictive unanimous consent agreements that shut out most, if not all, amendments on important bills are mocked as tantamount to being a one-man House Rules Committee.

What are the chances of the Senate applying a germaneness rule to all floor amendments? History and common sense tell us they are somewhere between nil and none. Senators have little incentive to give up their freedom to offer whatever amendments they want, whenever they want. Others cite high public disapproval ratings of Congress as an imperative for reform. However, there is no evidence the public gives a hoot about non-germane amendments. Only if such amendments are tied directly to blocking urgently needed legislation might public ire be aroused sufficiently to bring pressure for change; and that case has yet to be made.

Nevertheless, the Majority Leader's lament should not be dismissed out of hand. It may well be time for the Senate to undergo another self-examination through public hearings in Feinstein's committee. When Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) chaired that committee in the previous two Congresses, he showed a willingness to publicly air, and even sponsor, suggested changes in Senate rules. One such idea, to make secret "holds" public, has just been adopted as part of the lobby reform bill.

The ultimate barrier to any change in Senate rules is the super-majority needed to end a filibuster. Although, in 1975, the Senate reduced the number of votes required for cloture on most matters from two-thirds of those present and voting to three-fifths of the membership (60), they left the two-thirds threshold in place for ending debates on rules changes. That means an extraordinary bipartisan consensus is necessary for any significant reform. In the present climate that's as likely as melting the polar ice caps. Then again ...

For a EB2 position, that requires a MS with no alternate qualification accepted:

1. Does the business necessity need to show how the job duties match the course work during MS or why the job duties are needed for the company?

2. Do we need to send the business necessity at the time of applying for PERM or only when audited.

Thanks!

Perhaps there is a chance we'll see some action on the DREAM Act in 2011 albeit with some major tough to accept changes. The key areas likely to change are the education requirement (mandating actually receiving a degree versus simply attending school), the ability to sponsor relatives down the road when DREAM Act finally become citizens (at least 13 years out) and criminal bars on applying.

Hello everyone!
My wife has filed for my immigration and AOS around a week back. I would be expecting the biometrics appointment letter to arrive by the 25th of August. Now, I got a call from India yesterday informing me about my grandmother being admitted in the hospital, almost breathing her last. The doctors have all but given up.
My question here is whether I can go to the USCIS office with the doctor's letters and all the remaining proofs to expedite my AP well before my biometrics are done? If yes, what else would I require in terms of documents? I can just barely wait getting it done, but I dont want to leave without the AP document.

P.S.: I haven't yet received any NOAs.

Thank you.

Dear IV members
This is for my wife. Her 485 is pending with TSC. PD is EB2 India March 15 2004. Has been current since September 1. After the USCIS website update recently received Document production or Oath Ceremony status update online. And message saying a document has been sent etc.

Since she was current we thought it might be good. 30 days later nothing received. Raised SR since we didnt receive anything. The customer service rep as usual didnt know anything. Said they haldn't received anything back. They opened SR. We got response 3 weeks later.

In the response letter it says that another notice will be forthcoming to tell you to go to local ASC.

Havent received anything. Do you think right now should I again pursue after them by writing to Ombudsman etc especially since case is current? Mainly I am afraid that since the status says Document production would some IO think that the case is already approved and so stop working on that case? Please advice. Thanks in advance.

Senate GOP Set for Rebranding Retreat (http://www.rollcall.com/issues/53_15/news/19611-1.html) By Erin P. Billings, ROLL CALL STAFF, July 31 2007

After six months of largely sitting back and watching how the new Democratic Senate performs, Republican leaders this week will hold a special retreat to begin honing their 2008 message and agenda - one that's being privately billed as an 18-month "campaign" to reposition themselves to take on the party in charge.

GOP Senators will huddle Wednesday afternoon behind closed doors for the two-hour, Members-only session at 1:45 in the Capitol's Mansfield Room. Orchestrated by Republican Conference Chairman Jon Kyl (Ariz.), the meeting will serve as both a "mid-year review" for the first session of the 110th Congress and as an open exchange of ideas on reformatting a Republican Party that handily lost the House and Senate majorities in November.

"This is about laying the foundation for rebuilding the party," said a Republican Senate leadership aide. "This is a group project. No one person can determine this, we all have to come together and agree on it."

Kyl, in a brief interview Monday, said the session has both a short-term purpose of arming Senators with a message for the upcoming August recess and a broader goal of engaging Senators to game out the party's strategy for the remainder of the year. He added that Republicans likely will come together again next January to take stock of their message and platform heading into what many anticipate will be another bitter test at the ballot box.

"Going into the election year, it's important to know what we stand for, not just what we stand against," he said.

Kyl said that in the first six months of the year, Republicans have had to do little to try to brand the new majority, saying that by pursuing a partisan agenda the Democrats "have returned to form and really defined themselves. We haven't had to do a whole lot to define them."

But Kyl acknowledged that Republicans cannot sit by and simply talk about the Democrats' shortcomings. Senators need to be armed with their own positions and alternatives that reflect the party's long-standing principles, whether it is over the war in Iraq, an expected omnibus spending package or health care policy.

While Wednesday's special Republican Conference meeting will serve as mostly a give-and-take forum for the 49 Senators, sources familiar with the planning say it will also play host to presentations from some outsiders, including GOP pollster and adviser David Winston, who also is a Roll Call contributing writer. Kyl and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also are on tap to speak and are likely to deliver their respective assessments of the GOP's position heading into 2008.

Republican leaders also will urge Senators to use the August recess to further vet ideas - both in policy and message - for how Republicans should approach the remainder of the 110th Congress.

"We were in the majority for pretty much 12 years," noted a senior GOP Senate aide. "It took an adjustment. But after six months, things are working differently and we need to find those hard line stances that got us into power."

The uphill battle Republicans face over the next two years is no secret, even with McConnell publicly acknowledging the GOP will be lucky to hold its own in an unfavorable political climate with nearly twice as many Senate seats to defend. Republicans need to stave off potential challenges to 21 seats, including McConnell's, while Democratic Senate incumbents face re-election in just a dozen seats.

The timing for the the GOP's Wednesday retreat is noteworthy given Congress is about to break for face time with its constituents for the longest period yet this year. The meeting also comes as the Democratic majority ramps up a summer message that it has racked up a series of critical accomplishments that include passing a minimum-wage increase, higher education reforms and stiffer homeland security protections while continuing to keep pressure on President Bush to end the war in Iraq.

Senate Democrats will try to further build on their theme this week both in message and in practice as they look to leave town having enacted another string of domestic items including a lobbying reform package and an expansion of the children's health insurance program.

Intentional or not, the Democrats have begun to trumpet their accomplishments just as Republicans further accusations that the majority party is responsible for leading a "do-nothing" Congress for the first quarter of the two-year session. That's the same message the Democrats found some success in using to rally against the Republicans during the 109th Congress.

Beyond that, however, Republicans have done little to advance a larger message to define who they are as a party and why they should be put back in charge of Congress. Several Republican leadership aides said party leaders wanted to hold off on undergoing any rebranding exercise until after they had adequate time to assess the Democrats' performance during the first half of 2007.

"It was necessary for us as an opposition party to find out exactly where the Democrats were going to go so we could exploit what we perceive as their mistakes," said the GOP leadership aide. "So now we have an opportunity to share with the American people what we would do differently and how it would benefit them."

But Democrats say regardless of how GOP Senators decide to proceed, they aren't worried that the minority party will create a successful message or policy offensive. So far, Democrats say Republicans have shown little interest in changing their Congressional posture - especially as they try to block passage of the very programs the electorate sought from a new Democratic majority.

"They act as though the November 2006 election never happened," a Senate Democratic leadership aide said of the GOP. "I'm not sure if they're tone-deaf or just plain stubborn, but they've spent the first half of this year fighting like hell against making any progress on the issues voters care about."

The Senate GOP's assessment mirrors similar efforts undertaken in by the then-minority Democrats in recent cycles. Congressional Democrats spent the better part of the 2006 cycle working to unify around their "New Direction for America" platform, which included a series of Democratic priorities the party vowed to enact if given the gavel in the 110th Congress.

And while it remains unclear exactly what the Senate GOP's next move will be, Republicans acknowledge they need to get to work now if they are to have success heading into next year.

Already, Senate Republicans have spent recent weeks trying to re-engage with their House counterparts on message and overall policy coordination. Republicans are hoping for new opportunities to synchronize across the Dome in the wake of the latest debates on Iraq and immigration that deeply fractured the party.

As part of that effort, GOP Senate and House leaders last week held rare joint pen-and-pad sessions with reporters and a press conference on taxes and spending, while the leadership has had numerous planning sessions on overall party strategy and is orchestrating lawmakers to head to the Senate and House floors to push similar party themes. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) also is expected to join the Senate Republicans' weekly steering committee lunch this week.

Beyond that, House and Senate leadership offices have sought to coordinate messages on fiscal discipline, the Bush administration's midterm report on the Iraq troop "surge" and on accusations of Democrats leading the "post office Congress," as Republicans argue that Democrats have spent the bulk of their time naming federal post offices.

"It's about strength in numbers - we're working together rather than trying to do things separately," said a senior GOP Senate aide.

Hi,

Can someone tell me a little bit about visitor visa validity dates. For eg: if my parents got a 3 month visa, is it valid from the date it is issued or from the date of entry into the US?

Thanks
Roshni

It is valid from the date it is issued and they shld enter the US before it expires. However at the port of entry, the consular officer may chose it give it beyond the actual expiry date.

As per latest Faqs from USCIS interim EAD is possible. See below;

http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/2yrEAD_FAQ_061208.pdf

Q) I filed my Form I-765 more than 90 days ago and I have not received a decision, who should I contact?

A) If you have not received a decision within 90 days of the USCIS receipt date and you have properly filed your EAD application, you may apply to obtain an interim EAD by appearing in person at your local USCIS District Office. You must bring proof of identity and any notices that you have received from USCIS in connection with your application for employment authorization.

Thanks to reader Adi for the link. Huffington Post reports on a data compiled by America's Voice showing crime in Arizona dropping dramatically across the state for most of the last decade EXCEPT for the area controlled by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Which goes to show you that facts matter very little to Arizonans buying into the antis arguments.

Vivek Wadhwa has a cool new proposal for a visa targeted toward entrepreneurs with great ideas and start up capital to launch new enterprises. Here's some of what he writes in Businessweek: Here's how it would work. Suppose a talented engineer who is not a U.S. citizen has a great idea for a new type of search engine and wants to start a company. This entrepreneur wants to start that company in the U.S., where venture capital markets are the most mature, intellectual property laws are strong, and the talent level is high. It turns out that the would-be founder's...

I am currently waiting on my 485 (EB2). My priority date is Sept 16 2005, and 485 date is Aug 27 2007. I have traveled out of the country and back on advance parole and am still on H1 as I am still with the same company. My current advance parole ends in Jan 31 2010. I have to travel again in the first week of Feb 2010. I applied for another advance parole at the TSC on Aug 31 2009 for both my Wife and I. My Wife got her parole in a week, but I am yet to receive it.

I checked the USCIS site for the time frame and it says 3 months for TSC. I am thinking I might not have received it yet as I have a parole which is active. But I want to make the travel reservations now and I wanted a confirmed parole. USCIS said that they could put in an expedited request for the parole if it is an emergency. My lawyer says not to worry as I had applied in August, I had plenty of time to receive it.

Please advice. What should I do.

Rising tensions are testing Reid-McConnell relations (http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/rising-tensions-are-testing-reid-mcconnell-relations-2007-06-14.html) By Manu Raju, June 14, 2007

Tensions are set to rise between the two parties in the Senate in coming weeks, threatening to stifle the Democratic legislative agenda and test the amicable relationship between Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Republican leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.).

After the collapse of immigration legislation last week over procedural concerns, rhetoric has been heating up. Democrats increasingly blame McConnell, who is up for reelection in 2008, tagging him as an obstructionist. The GOP stuck that same label on then Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), helping defeat him in his reelection bid in 2004.

Some conservatives, upset that the immigration bill came to the floor without committee deliberations, grumble that McConnell is not combative enough with Reid and should challenge anything that does not follow regular Senate order, aides to two conservative senators say.

That could unhinge the cordial relationship between Reid and McConnell, which both say remains strong despite burgeoning battles.

�This has not been an easy six months,� said Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.). �I think our friends on the other side of the aisle have wished to slow things down as much as possible with over and over again motions just to even go to a bill.�

Republicans accuse Reid of employing procedural tactics in an unprecedented way to bring legislation to the floor without committee debate, to limit amendments on the floor and to end debate on legislation.

�I don�t know if he understands the difference being a leader and being a dictator,� conservative Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said.

Next week, Reid wants to bring to the Senate floor a bill passed by the House that would make it easier for labor unions to organize workforces, aides say. The bill, long-sought by labor but opposed by business, has not gone through the Senate committee process. Republicans plan to object to the bill�s consideration, forcing Reid to find 60 votes if the measure is to be considered in the narrowly divided Senate.

Even if the Senate reaches that threshold, Republicans may object to a unanimous consent request to waive 30 hours of debate to proceed to the bill. Doing so would mean debate on the bill would dominate much of the week, which Reid, with scarce floor time and a packed agenda before the July 4 recess, wants to avoid.

Jostling over process reflects the parties� hope of framing political debate in the run-up to the 2008 elections, analysts say.

�I think Reid is ultimately � looking ahead to �08, to shape the party�s reputation as much as his own reputation,� said Sarah Binder, senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution. �How well the Democrats do in part is going to do depend on what Democrats do in Congress, and he can blame Republicans [for] creating stalemates.�

Republicans point out that Reid has filed 39 cloture motions to limit debate or proceed to legislation this Congress, which is on pace to shatter the 68 cloture motions filed in the entire 109th Congress.

�[B]The actions of the majority leader in filing cloture so many times this year takes the Senate out of its traditional role and it brings it more towards a House model, where debate is constricted,� said Brian Darling, director of Senate relations for the Heritage Foundation.

Two efforts to shut down debate on immigration failed last week after Republicans objected that too few of their amendments were considered during the Senate debate. Republicans complained that the Senate could have moved quickly and finished the immigration debate if Reid had tabled amendments or allowed many of them to be considered simultaneously. Reid retorted that Republicans were objecting to their own amendments and would not agree to a set number of amendments that could be considered.

When the immigration bill fell apart last week, McConnell said, �The message to the majority is, it�s going to take longer than you�d like to take, and it�s going to take more votes than you�d like to make. I think they have had to relearn that lesson several times. That is the reason this Congress, at least to this point, has such a paltry list of accomplishments.�

Reid shot back this week, saying his frequent use of cloture has been made necessary because of Republican obstruction.

McConnell �failed to mention that we have to do that because we�re not able to do anything without cloture,� Reid said. �On the most basic bills we did � lobbying ethics reform, minimum wage, 9/11 � everything that we�ve had to do, we have to get 60 votes first. So they�ve made it very difficult for us.�

My wife is currently on a B1/B2 status which is valid for 10 years. She has an appointment to get her H4 stamped next week. Can she have both the B1/B2 and H4 visa stamps at the same time or will they "Cancel without prejudice" the B1/B2 after the H4 is stamped?

Is there a way to request the consulate not to cancel the B1/B2 visa?

thanks

Good morning and thank you for reading my message and considering my question

My attorney has filed an appeal with DOL regarding my prevailing wage, which my state workforce commission rejected (deeming it too low). We were told that we should expect a response from DOL in about 3 weeks, but it has now been close to 10 weeks and we have received no response yet. The attorney is checking with DOL weekly but there has been no response thus far. Is this normal? How long can I expect to wait for a response? Thank you very much in advance for any guidance!

Peri Software Solutions Inc., a New Jersey-based software company, has recently been cited by the Department of Labor for wage law violations in connection with 163 H-1B visa employees. The company is accused of not paying prevailing wages to its H-1B workers, most of whom are software and technology analysts. Under H-1B regulations, employers are required file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) as part of the H-1B petition for immigrant workers. By doing so, the employer agrees to pay the employee a wage equal to or greater than the prevailing wage specified in the LCA. This wage must be paid...
