Also, If they have really mentioned INS, I bet they don't even know what AOS or pending I-485 is, because agency INS is no longer there but your wife's international office officials mind is still stuck in 2002.
I need urgent advice from you. As you know my wife is on F1 visa and completed most of her credit hours needed by school. She has get only 1 credit hr to complete the course. However, that�s below 9 hr full time student status. She has been asked to register for additional 8 hrs..and pay tuition fee accordingly ( > 8K). Which I think is unreasonable. They told her that if she doesn�t register by tomorrow they have to report it to INS. She told them that she has EAD..there answer doesn�t matter in order to remain in school and F1 visa she has to register.
My questions is:
1) Can she continue working on her Thesis on her EAD and AP ?
2) What will happen to her f1 if she use EAD
In response to these questions my Lawyer said
1.) yes, she can continue to be a student as an adjustment applicant � she can work using the EAD and travel using the AP.
2) she is basically no longer an F-1 because she has demonstrated immigrant intent by filing the adjustment. Which is fine � she has valid legal status as an adjustment applicant and can work with the EAD and travel with the AP.
What do pro�s think..:)

Subject : Legal workers' immigration issues in CIR
Dear Sir/Madam
In CIR, please address legal workers' immigration problems.
Legal workers are waiting for GC for years (decade or more in lot of cases) because of unavailability of visa numbers. These law abiding people and their families suffer financial, social and many other hardships due to broken immigration system.
Thanks you.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXX

Thank you so much for your responses! I did not mean to lie to the consulate when I answered "no" on the form the previous time. I think the thing that we've actually came back in time proves it.
This is not a valid reasoning. The "no" is not related to immigration intent. It is related to if you made factually correct statements.
The new DS-160 form doesn't have this questions because I've heard that many people were confused by it. The consulate officer did not ask us if we were planning to immigrate to the US. I know of quite a few people who were issued a non-immigrant visa while replying "yes" to that question. Does it mean the law was broken on that case?
Does it matter if the "I-130" was not approved yet? Does it count "immigration intent" from the date they've received documents from my brother? Please comment. Thank you.
You need to *prove* that you have no intention for immigrating to US. Your intention is within your head; it does not start from any given date or given action by USCIS. The IO needs to "read your mind". The legal standard is that the court concedes that no one can know for sure what one's intentions are, however, the immigration officer can make a reasonable guess at the intentions by observing the actions you took or someone else took on your behalf.
In your case:
1. Someone filed I-130 for you. This is for permanent immigration to US.
2. You have family ties in US.
3. You have traveled to US before (I do not know how frequently).
4. You want to join a university that does not even have your major; that too you do not know what exactly you will study in that university. This itself is a very strong indication (at least in my mind) that you are not really interested in the education, but you applied to that university just for coming to US.
All together, it shows a clear pattern of observable evidence that your intention is to immigrate to US.

I wonder the reasons for Switzerland to be #1. Its a small country with minimal immigration and not much resources. Key revenue might be from Tourism. They are not known for scientific work etc.
... Maybe swiss bank accounts are key to it ! ;)
One big plus for Switzerland: their universities and advancement in technology.
Both ETH and EPFL in switzerland are THE TOP institutes in Europe for advanced technical degrees. Also, in the past 3-4 years, they have undertaken a huge initiative to invite the creme de la creme from around the world to switzerland, and looks like that is also paying off. Every professor/scientist/PhD I know would gladly accept a chance to go there!
So, Im not surprised that they are number 1. They strategized.. and they got exactly where they were trying to get! Whereas here, they got stuck mixing up illegals and skilled people, addressing fencing issues instead of labor backlogs, etc etc...and lost sight of a bigger, more valuable goal.
cheers.

Folks i got a LUD on my AP 7 days back and again LUD 5 days back. But the status didn't change nor i get any letter of so far.
Does this means i'm on my way to a RFE :) If they send RFE does that gets reflected on the Online Status ??
Thanks much!
I had the exact same RFE. I'm on H1 since 1998, and you can imagine how many times I have left and entered USA. I have about 8 H1B extensions. Here's what I sent...
1). Cover Letter stating list of document to show evidence of law ful status in US.
2). I-94 card issued by CBP at the last port of entry.
3). ALL the H1B extension notices issued by USCIS. Its important that there are no gaps in dates on the extension/change of status notices.
4). passport copy containing all US visas and entry and exit stamps.
5). A document explaining the entry and exit dates matching the stamps in the passport.
6). Few pay stubs from the current H1B/green card employer that you are currently working.
7). Few W-2s for last few years.
Usually the I-94 that is on the extension of stay issued by USCIS is the same number thats issued by CBP at the Port of Entry. So, USCIS should be able to match the entry and exit information and extension of stay notices
I'm sure they know that one surrenders the white I-94 card when they leave US.

What IO told is correct. Untill the case 140 is not approved, EB information is not updated and IOs at the infopass has limited access.
If the 140 is approved, IOs at infopass can see this, otherwise they cant.
I was also under the same impression that IO at Infopass is able to see whether my case is in EB2 or EB3. She told me that she cannot see even though both of my I-140s are approved and interfiled(hoping success).

You see, soundbites and rhetoric are very very tempting. Calling ourselves slaves, using words like "hi Tech slaves" makes us feel that we have finally taunted the system and shamed the lawmakers into acting.
Well, that's not how it works. We are advocating congress. We are not running for an election here and using soundbites and rhetoric really helps when trashing your election opponents. We are trying to get something done here, we are not running an election campaign and we dont have any opponents to taunt and shame by using the words like "slavery" and by trying to make a mockery of the system.
If taunts and rhetoric and soundbites would have done the job, we would have gotten bills passed long time ago.
Those who have made suggestions about using words like "Slaves" and "Hitech Slaves", and "tax paying slaves" have probably never been to lawmaker's offices. These words not only are improper and not only do they provide ammunition to people who oppose us, they are downright flat wrong. They also bring disgust and awkward situation if you use them in lawmaker's office. Imagine this: You are sitting with the judiciary counsel and if they ask you..."Who do your represent" and you say "We are from a grassroots nonprofit organization called Hi tech slaves". What do you think is going to happen to the rest of the meeting??
And by the way, those who are running out of patience with Greencard process are totally capable of packing their bags and going back to their home country. So you cannot call it slavery. Slavery is bonded labor. Where is the bond here? If you dont like your job, then change your job and get a new H1? If you cant port your PD and if you are sick of waiting, then you can go back because really, the bond is in your head, if at all. Its not like your employer is holding a gun to your head. That WAS THE CASE during actual slavery in this country. They were sold, traded and bonded. They were killed if they disobeyed? By comparing ourselves and our situation to that, you are not only being counterproductive, you are insulting the real victims of slavery that existing 150 years ago.
Use common sense and always think that what would be the impact if my post is read by people who intend to testity against us in Congress. Read John Miano's testimony in July 2006 in Judiciary committee. And use some discretion.
I am going to close this thread now.
Those who want to suggest new names for organization or new domain names for the website, please send an email to info@immigrationvoice.org and your availability to work on changing the names everywhere, including all paperwork etc and how much time can you spend on doing it and how can we transfer all name recognition from old name to new name. If its possible and if you can work on it and spend time on it to help us do that, we will surely do it.

So, does that mean there's no need to invoke AC21 after you get you get EAD, if you want to change employer before 180 days of your filing?
if you change your employer within 180 days of 485 RD, the employer can revoke your 140 which will invalidate your 485.
After 180 days you can switch using your H-1 too. The EAD is not necessary.

Webfax to push Brownback Amendment.
Friends,
The bill will be passing the Senate soon, and most likely be finalized and voted on Thursday.
Please bear in mind, that immigration voice DOES HAVE alternate ways to get the amendments into the final text of the bill if both Cornyn and Brownback's amendment are not floored and voted in this final lap of the debate. So please be patient and please have faith.
In order to give one more push to this amendment, we urge you to send a webfax support Brownback Amendment. Its is under the webfax menu as webfax Number 15.
Please enter your real name,(full name) and your address, phone etc on the webfax before sending it. With a few clicks, your webfax will go to all 100 senators therby generating support for this amendment.
Thanks.
Jay.
I do appreciate the full intentions of our admin in asking us to send faxes,
While these discussions are going on, if we send faxes - would it draw attention to a few hundred of them ? . Certainly worth the try, without loosing anything.
(2) - I also feel that Sending it to Cornyn, Spectre, in addition may help via faxes to remind them of our problems.
(3) - I do understand that the admins have a plan to get some relief via backdoor as the admin posted in case legal immigratns donot get a significant relief in the present form as posted just now, do you really think this is feasible ? would not we bypass the senate ?

You can just walkin to Dr Stern office. Even if you have an appointment with them, you may have to wait 0.5-1.5 hours depending on the time you go. If you go on weekend or weekdays after 5 you may have to wait longer but afternoon should be faster. And there fee may be more than $350 if you need to get shots and xray. Hope this help.
If you call them recp. will tell that appt is required but actually it is just walk-in and you may not get any preference ver people who walked-in.
Please share your experience with us when done.

Democrats want to win Presidential election and increase their numbers in congress based on Iraq and Immigration. They are thinking that if CIR is passed they can project that it is Democratic congress which passed CIR. If they fail they will blame that Republicans voted against and they will make this as election issue. They are thinking in that way. But it will not work. People are against big immigration numbers but they will not oppose moderate immigration increase. But American people are divided when it comes to illegal immigration. If any other issue is burning then immigration will become non issue and democrats will not get any extra votes because of CIR. But liberal immigration is not good for Labor unions(we know democrats are pro-labor also) so that may work against Democrats. Right now it is not sure whether parties are really dedicated to pass CIR or Just for making immigration alive to get political mileage.
We all come to this site and give our interpretation of the situation, but the whole situation is so funny isnt it.
A writes something then b responds, c comes in an says something but the finally nothing is achieved.
The congressmen do what they want, our effort of conversation is useless.
We should come together and raise our voice somewhere were it can be heard.
I dont think by sending emails to these congressmen about our situation will be that effective, most of them dont know or dont care. We should come out onto the constitution ave in DC and let our voice be heard by the masses, then the media will know, the common man will know, the companies will know, the congressmen will know, this will also help the lobbyists to fight for our reforms who benefit more than us.
I joined recently but I am sorry to say that by donations from people, a few people IV core cannot lobby our issues. There are lot of us who are suffering, even 200 people on washington ave will effect. Slowly more will join,
I hope

He will be out of status. Your 3 year extension beyond the allowed 6 years is based on that LC/I-140 from which your I-485 was filed. If the I-485 is rejected you have no right to stay beyond 6 years....
Total BS and Incorrect.
One can work on current H-1B (irrespective on basis it was approved), until the H-1B petition is revoked or canceled or expired. However, beneficiary is not eligible for new/extension of H-1B after I-485 denial.

It would have been much helpful had DOS put forth the no. of visas still left over.
What's your take on the latest visa bulletin.

They did say that they only had "a handful" of visas left. This advance is not necessarily inconsistent with that earlier statement. In order to use up visas and avoid waste, the Visa Office has to manage the quota to make sure that there are enough applications AND ADJUDICATIONS to exhaust the quota. They have no control over the CIS, but they do have control over the overseas consular posts.
What this tells me is that the CIS is doing nothing (or next to nothing) to use up India and China E2 numbers. By advancing the cutoff dates last month, VO was able to make more cases at overseas posts available for close out. Since the CIS obviously did not use many China/India E2 numbers in July and August, VO has had to advance the cutoff dates again to make enough cases pending at consular posts available to use up those few remaining numbers.

Hi Ron,
DOS moved the bulletin further for EB2 India. I remember you were telling in earlier blogs that you have got information from DOS that there are only a handful of visas left over. So I am not sure what DOS/USCIS is up to. USICIS is adjudicating all the applications for PD 2006 and beyond while putting the 2004 and 2005 applications in dark.
It would have been much helpful had DOS put forth the no. of visas still left over.
What's your take on the latest visa bulletin.
Thanks
