If the cruise goes outside of US territorial waters, everyone on the ship needs to show eligibility to re-enter the US on return. This is true even if the ship does not make any port call in a non-US territory.
In your case it looks like the ship even makes a stop at BC. Irrespective of whether the ship makes the stop or whether you get out of it or not, the fact that it goes out of US waters is what matters.
So yes, you will have problems coming back if you go on this cruise.
You can however fly to Alaska and come back (like a domestic flight) without any problems, as long as it is a non-stop flight from the US to Alaska (no stops in Canada).

Hi Guys,
I just learnt about the news in Business week on starting discussions for increasing Visa Numbers to help alleviate our pain.
Skilled Workers May See Green-Card Surge (Link:
http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jul2007/db20070718_068854.htm)
With this in mind I was wondering whether we can compile list of victims of Immigration system based on state and send it to each senator asking for help in moving Skill bill and other pro-immigration reforms cleared.
We can also indicate some on the main issues we are facing as a summary to each senator to make the people understand what kind of roller coaster our lives are
Information that can be captured to indicate the wait time and different ways we are affected.
Name, State, PD, approx Expected approval date (with approx 750000 thousand applications in July) and what effect this would cause on our lives
A) Family torn apart (kids growing older than 21, etc)
B) Cannot live the American dream by excelling in work to higher position and benefits for average 5 - 10 years - cannot change jobs or responsibilities
C) Kids (mostly citizens of US) deprived of basic luxuries because parents cannot buy houses and cannot send them to private schools because of uncertainty in visa status. Most of them manage in rental homes and feel guilty for not able to provide the best for those innocent kids (US citizens)
D) With this long waits, Could not purse higher education because of 6 years limit on H1 and no option to change employer after 6th year because of pending application.
E) Most immigrants are eagerly waiting to start their businesses but are restricted because of visa status and the dream remains dream for most of them because of timing in market and personal life.
F) Some of them are abused by employers who take advantage of the loop holes in the immigration system and long waiting times.
G) Lose of revenue, most of the spouses are well educated and are not able to work because of H1 quota limits or no EAD and it takes on an average 3 -5 years before you get your EAD.
More can be added based on others experiences.
It would be great to get some information about Taxes paid (percentage) by immigrants,
Number of businesses opened etc to make the case stronger.

Is it right?I am working on EAD, if it doesnt come in time any ideas about the FAX # which you need to send your request? I have already opened an expedite request for my EAD by calling USCIS customer service, I just need the fax # and the cover letter format. I heard that even if you take an info pass appointment, they dont issue an interim EAD , is that correct?

I think these bills are too complicated and have possibilities of failing on the house floor, even if they pass through the senate..
My question to the group is: Does it make sense for us to lobby for changes to existing laws as 'amendments/enhancements' (do not know the exact term), which need not go through this full-blown congressional approval process.. Another issue that we are facing with the bills such as immig. comprehensive bill is that we get tagged together with illegal immig., so it becomes all the more probable to get rejected. I am just being realistic and urging the IV team to add one more action item to the agenda and see if we can put some efforts towards this additional agenda.
I think, in addition to supporting the bills, we should look at this additional possibility. Something like allowing I-485 even though the number is not available, just requires an amendment to the existing law. It does not require additional quota, so there is no major impact to immigration law as a whole. So, we may not need to wait for a bill to clear, in order for such reliefs to be approved.
My take is: we should strive for 3-pronged approach - 1) near short term approach is to ask for immediate relief such as I-485 filing without the visa number availability; there may be other such reliefs possible - 2) short term approach is to support the current bills being considerd, as we are doing already - 3) long term approach is to think of what is the backup plan in case 1 and 2 fails
Just thinking out loud here.

I called an IO today at Texas.
Last week they told me that due to glitch they never printed my fp notice.
The IO I talked to then, said that she was going to generate one and mailed to me.
I talked to another lady today and she said that notice was mailed last Thursday! She told me my appointment is on July 26 at 9:00 am but I dont have the NOA yet.... I dont know what to do I dont want to miss my appointment
The lady said she will sent another one today..... I hope I get it, please let me know if you guys have any advice
If I'am not mistaken I feel even the Lawyer gets the fp notice check with your lawyer.

Hi everybody
My lawyer had filed my 485 eb2 on july 2 (under july bulletin).
Now that the bulletin has been re-instated, i am getting nervous thinking if my lawyer filed the application complete or in a hurry she missed something. Obviously, i do not think it'll be right to ask her if she filed it properly.
Under what circumstances can the application be rejected right away even before they have issued the WAC#??
and my 140 is pending....what happens if my lawyer forgot to attach the 140 reciept? Can they still send it back??
thanks

I am currently on H1B, and my current company is not willing to sponsor me for GC. I am in my 5th year. I have found another company who has agreed to hire me and start my gc process, however, I am in a fix. This new offer is in CA and I am currently in NJ (+ my family)
I don't want to take this option unless it is absolutely necessary. My spouse, has the I-140 approved and not yet filed I-485. PD is Jan 04, EB3.
What are my options?

Here is a quick update from the California Service Center regarding this new fee. The additional filing fees of $2,000 for certain H-1B petitions and $2,250 for certain L- 1A and L-1B petitions is applicable to petitioning employers who employ 50 or more employees in the United States and 50% of the petitioner�s employees are in H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status. The PL 111-230 fees do not apply to petitions requesting an extension of H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status with the same employer (only for initial filings for a new beneficiary).
When the fee is not required, it is critical that the petitioner explicitly acknowledge this and explain why it is not required in the I-129 filing. If this is not done, USCIS will likely issue a Request for Evidence asking for a statement from the petitioner, causing unnecessary delays in processing.
The Service Center previously stated:
Until the Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (Form I-129) and the Nonimmigrant Petition Based on Blanket L Petition (Form I-129S) are revised, USCIS recommends that all H-1B, L-1A, and L-1B petitioners include, as part of the filing packet, the new fee or a statement or other evidence outlining why this new fee does not apply. USCIS requests that petitioners include a notation indicating whether or not the fee is required in bold capital letters at the top of the cover letter. The fee, statement, notation, or other evidence should be provided with each petition submitted. Where the fee or documentation is not submitted with the filing, or where questions remain, USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence to determine whether the additional fee applies to the petition.The following is a sample statement that the petitioner employer could use:
By this statement we confirm that our company (the petitioner) is not required to pay the H-1B filing fee under Public Law 111-230. Our business does not have more than 50 percent of our employees in the United States in H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant visa status. Therefore, we are not required to pay the additional filing fee.
Please email me with any questions regarding the above referenced info.

That's a good sign for folks who wants to file green card next year and could not file this year becos of bad labor market
The most recent update from the USCIS is showing again a steady approval rate. The jump we saw in October was just due to a more current update of the approval, nit an increase in filing according to the USCIS. If this pace will continue we will see visas all through early 2010, but I may be wrong here...
Ao here is is the update from USCIS: As of November 6, 2009, approximately 54,700 H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) cap-subject petitions had been filed. USCIS has approved sufficient H1-B petitions for aliens with advanced degrees to meet the exemption of 20,000 from the fiscal year 2010 cap. Any H1-B petitions filed on behalf of an alien with an advanced degree will now count toward the general H1-B cap of 65,000. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.

IMO: 7th Year extn can be filed if PERM is pending for more than 365 days or if I-140 is approved.
Friends;
I am posting this on behalf of my friend who is on H1 (6th year expiring in Dec, 2011). His labor is yet to be filed and in this connection we have a question. Process has been initiated by employer and tentatively labor will be filed in June, 2011. Hoping that he will be done with labor or I-140 by November would he be eligible for 7th year H1 extension?
Thanks
Venu

Hi,
I am a dependent of my parents who are currently staying in the U.S. with E-2 Visa. We have stayed in the U.S. for almost 9 years now and we are trying to get a Green Card.
My parents have already filed and received an approved I-140, but my parents say that we have to wait couple years before being able to file I-485.
I don't quite understand why there is a delay between receiving an approved I-140 and filing I-485.
It seems like everybody either files both I-140 and I-485 concurrently or file I-485 immediately after I-140 is approved.
So, my question is: Is there usually a span of time that applicants must wait before filing I-485 after getting their I-140 approved?
Thanks a bunch,
--HJ
To understand this, go through this forum and look for words or forums named "retrogression of visa numbers" and "priority date". You will find your answer.
