Hello,
I'm outside US with AP (expiring in about a month). My GC has been approved this June.
My GC employer has run out of work. He is likely to get work later.
My options are:
a) Stay outside US and look for project. On getting confirmed work, enter US to join employer.
b) Enter US, look for project. On getting confirmed work, join employer.
Getting employed by GC sponsor employer with, either option could take few months.
While entering US, I will NOT have EVL(employment letter), only AP & I485 Approval Notice.
Which is safer option (a or b) for US entry ?
What questions can be asked at POE ? What should I say if asked about employer ?
Can GC be revoked at POE?
Which is safer option (a or b) for GC renewal, citizenship ?
Thanks.

If your MIL is not in the US, you cannot technically extend the visa.

I went to Baltimore USCIS FP center.They ask ID at the counter only if you are getting your fingers printed, and this counter is actually tokens issuing counter inside, there was no security or anything at the entrance.I have seen several families with kids.I guess it is going to be the same in other locations.
My wife and I are scheduled to go for fingerprinting this month. We have a year old son and obviously we are planning to take him with us as well. Do I need to take any form of ID / birth certificate of my son (obviously he is not to be fingerprinted) but not sure what the rules are with respect to carrying infants for the interview. Anyone who has fingerprinted in a similar situation?

Hello Folks:
This long wait for Green Card has made me think about a number of things...
A few days back a couple of my friends have recieved notices from USCIS are sending notices 'Intent to Deny their I-485' w/o any rhyme or reason. Employer says they have not withdrawn their I-140. They said they will appeal but if nothing happens they will go back to India.
Just worried...if this happens to me and I am forced to go out of the country in 30 days, what happens to my US loans. I do not think I would be able to repay back my home & car loans with an Indian salary if I return. In this market I can only sell at a huge loss. I also used US Line of credit for education purposes. Do I need to file bankruptcy? I am on a EAD right now...
Any thoughts on this... greatly appreciate ....it

Ok Guys enough "PREDECTIONS" now go to bed.
Only the coming days will tell us what is going on and what will happen. Everything else is just hear-say.
Go to sleep and remember that we DO have day jobs.

For that to happen a number first has to be generated! There is apparently a block (CIS-SSA name verification issue) that is preventing that from happening.
sunnymit,
I would suggest you call SSA HQ in Baltimore, MD and explain to them the situation and tell them that the SAVE system (that check your immigration status) is having possible issues with your case.
If that does not work, send a certified mail to the local office supervisor and SSA HQ.
got to the SSN office with ur receipt, tell them you are waiting for ...... long for the card. you need the number to give to the employer. most of the officers would look in the system and would give you the number.

Thanks for the suggestion but We need people who are stuck in retrogression. Professionals who have a story to tell. They should be IV members too.
Yep, these associations have alumni on their mailing list too and thats how we can reach ppl stuck with retrogression. I know coz that association at my school, MSU maintains such a list too...

There is no special provisions for people living in Haiti to get a visa to come here sooner. You will need to file the regular route. What is your immigration status? You can sponsor your mother only if you are US citizen.

PROJECT MANAGERS:
-Min 5 years of Functional and Technical experience.
-Exp with Microsoft .Net OR JAVA Technology
-Bachelors or Masters Degree is preffered.
The above ad sent out by my company is very confusing to me. Please some one help me understand the ad.
I have MS + 2.3 yrs of experience. 2.3 yrs is gained as Programmer analyst/software developer
your ideas are helpful
Every year of education = 2 years of work experience. In your case it should be:
Masters with 2 years of relevant work experience OR
Bachelors with 6 years of relevant work experience. Atleast thats what I remember from my EB2 PERM application.

I was on H-1 and got laid off on July 23. I filed for COS to H4 online on the same day and got the electronic receipt the same day. As I had filed I-539 after work hours, the receipt shows that USCIS received my application on July 26 instead of 23. I got the paper receipt in next 3 days. I hope this will not create any problems as my employer sent notification to USCIS on July 31 and I received my last paystub on July 31 though it was only till July 23. I have been working in US with good status for last 5 years.
Now I have some questions. Any help is greatly appreciated:
1) I recently got two Job offers from different consulting firms. When I told them that my H4 status is still pending, their attorneys told me conflicting things.
- One employer's attorney said that I have to wait till my H4 is approved and only then they could apply for my H1. At this time I have not status and they cannot file my H1.
- The other employer's attorney said that I could apply for H1 while my H4 is still pending by giving pending petition reference in the new H1 application. This will let USCIS adjudicate both the pending status together and there will be no problem for my H1.
Which one of them is correct ? What are the risks involved if I go with the advice of second attorney? Is there a possibility that filing H1 increases the chances the both my H4 and H1 applications are rejected and I could be OOS ?
2) Second question is that the second employer wants me to start immediately after I get H1 receipt. Am I eligible to work on a receipt with my situation or do I need to wait for the complete approval ? What if I get an RFE ? As this is a consulting firm, they have work order from end client for only 3 months and it will be renewed after every 3 months. Will this 3 month work order will create any problems ?
3) What is my current status ? Will the current time while H4 is pending will be counted against H1 or H4 ? As I have only a little over year left in my H1, it is important for me to know how much valid time I have left for H1. This processing time could go in months if I get an RFE.

Hi,
Would some one post info on how to get directly to level 2 or 3 USCIS customer service rather than level 1. I Called USCIS couple of times, the customer said I need to wait 90 days to check the status with them. I filed in July and have no receipt. I would like to know whether my case is entered in USCIS database. Please guide!
Thanks

I am sure this what might have happened since you talked about FP.
Did you and your attorney both receive the FP notices ? I think one of those copies was returned to USCIS as undeliverable. What they do is they wil check the system for any address change and then put the returend FP notices alogn with the envelope in a new envelope and mail it out again. We had this weird status for few people duingthe Jul 07 rush and that was what it was. Let us know if this is the case..

Here we go again. When Obama's Democratic Party controlled the House and Senate, Congress failed to pass an immigration bill that would have provided a path to Residency and later Citizenship for some illegal immigrants who entered America as children. The DREAM Act died in the Senate in December due to a Republican filibuster.
With Republicans now controlling the House and holding a stronger minority in the Senate, the chances for any comprehensive immigration reform are considered non-existent.
Obama travels to Texas on Tuesday to make the case that his administration has worked hard to secure the border and the time has come for Congress to deal with the 10.8 million people already in the U.S. illegally.
He will also argue that those who care about this issue need to step up pressure on Congress to act, a point he has made privately in a string of meetings with business executives, evangelical leaders and Hispanic celebrities.
Many activists blame the White House for not making the issue more of a priority, and Tuesday's speech is an effort, in part, to shift attention to Republicans who are blocking action.
Many Republicans and some Democrats oppose the measures Mr. Obama favors that would create a path to citizenship for some people who entered the country illegally, saying it would reward law-breaking. Opponents also say not enough has been done to secure the border with Mexico. The White House says it has put more "boots on the ground" along the southwest border than ever before and has cracked down on employers who hire undocumented workers.
The administration has also deported a record number of illegal immigrants, a point that has angered Hispanic activists. Federal officials say deportations of illegal immigrants hit a record 392,000 in fiscal year 2010.
Hoping to push through the political stalemate, Mr. Obama has held private meetings to discuss immigration with political figures such as New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, business leaders such as John Engler, president of the Business Roundtable; and religious leaders such as Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals.

Hello,
I am here on a H1B visa and my wife is on a H4 Visa. She has recently been admitted to a masters program and would start going to school soon.
1. We want to get a F1 visa for her, so that she can get paid for some work in the campus. Would it be possible to get the F1 visa in Canada. Does anyone have any recent experience on getting this done ?
2. Say we not apply for a visa but only apply for a change of status and do not even go to India or anywhere else before the completion of her program. After that she would go on an OPT. If we go to India then, would it not be a problem in getting a F-1 visa, as her education would already be complete. Does it mean that she should get her visa stamped before she completes her education.
Thanks,
Gaurav
