These are fun and hot summer days for us Immigration lawyers filing H1B cases (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html). As employers are starting to hire again, we are faced with the challenges of the new Labor Condition Application System, iCert.
The Labor Condition Application is a document which must be certified by the US Department of Labour and it an integral part in the H-1B applications. This document details the terms and conditions of employment, details of the employer, the work profile, rate of salary, prevailing salary (it means the lowest salary that can be paid to a h-1b visa holder) and the location where the h-1b holder will work. As of July 1, 2009 all LCA applications must be done via the icert system (http://icert.doleta.gov/)
In the past week or so many LCA cases came back with denial notices. The notices had the following language:
Reason for Denial: Section C.12 of this application contains an obvious inaccuracy. The Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) value entered in Section C.12 of the ETA Form 9035E could not be verified by the CNPC as a valid nine-digit FEIN assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In order for the employer to overcome the issue identified on the denial determination for any future LCAs submitted using this exact FEINThe solution according to AILA for correcting an LCA denial when DOL states it cannot verify the FEIN is to provide FEIN documentation to the LCA Helpdesk in Chicago. This morning, DOL revised the FEIN-based iCERT denial notice, and it contains information on what documents to send via email to DOL or by fax. We hope this will resolve the problem and the unnecessary delays as the system takes almost a week to process a regular case. We will keep you posted.

How do i find out if a RFE has been issued on a case?
Does USCIS "check case status" mentions it? My lawyer is one heck of a person and i have to keep track of my case.
I saw the case status online and it says "Request for Additional Evidence Sent".

Hi Friends,
I work for Company A from the year 2003 on H1-B Visa and here is my details
Priority Date : Aug 2004 (EB3-I)
I-140 Approved date : Jan 2007
I-485 Filed date : July 2007
Currently using : H1-B (8 th year running)
EAD & AP : I have both EAD & AP but not using it at this stage.
Now i got an offer from Company B but they can accept only EAD or GC with Good salary and position. I am really tired of getting low salary with company A as they started taking advantage of me.
Now if i use EAD card to move to company B (by using AC21) and once i get a green card (don't know when ??) do i have to come back to company A and work for one or two years as GC is for future employment ? Is there any rule like this ?
I am also planning to have my personal attorney after moving to Company B to take care of AC 21 and other communications.
I am not sure Company A will allow me to move at this stage and i cannot waste my life with this company for a low salary so i want to move and make some progress in my life.
Have any of you moved like this and got GC ? Will there be any issues ?
Please advise.

Wow, very interesting. Though I might experiment with cropping (first try would be cutting off the bottom, including the one bird down there, to make it more panoramic and [hopefully] make the horizon less centered), there's not really anything that I'd change about this photo. Good work, IMHO. :)

Anybody filed your H1 ext yourself? Is it worth it?
This will be my 12th yr extension. I have the previous extension papers (copies) that the lawyer sent me, so i was thinking i can look at those and draft a new ext myself. But with the latest news of H1 denied for consulting companies, is it worth doing it myself? I have worked for the same client for the last 11 yrs.
Everybody else would also like to do the same thing. Instead of Paying 3500 dollars to the attorney plus other fees by the employer. I feel its good to do it by yourself. If you have anything wrong USCIS would contact you back and you can reply on those. if it becomes a major thing, then you can hire a attorney.
I feel someone should post all the steps to file
1. H1B transfer
2. EAD
3. AP
4. I-485 (As for EB-I it would take a long time)
5. All other forms
Its not worth paying the attorneys for such a long time. Let USCIS take the trouble of correcting our errors

Its not true,
My daughter is 3years 5months old and she got FP notice and gave finger prints in Nov 2007. The only change for them is they will get FP Notice with Code 2[means they will take FP for only one hand] and we all get Code 3 FP notice.

FP is not needed for EAD or AP.
Thanks. Where do I file for renewal? At the service center where my 485 is pending (in my case that's TSC) or follow the instruction given in 765 instructions?

Gurus,
I have a question. I am a July 2nd 485, EAD, AP filer and I did not receive my AP yet. My H1 visa stamping got expired, and I am planning to go to India for 2 months. Can I leave US before my AP gets approved, hoping that it will be approved in the next 2 months time and my attorney will send the AP papers to my India address?
Is it possible, please advice.
Thanks
My attorney said same i.e. no issues known so it will be OK however as a lawyer he says small Possibility of screwup.

your company needs to maintain an HR file with I9 for all employees (including US citizens)
Thanks senk1s! For a while I would be the only one working.
I would like to invite other EAD holders to work on 1099 and get maximum share through my company. As I was not able to get the higher billing working on 1099 individually.
Thanks Again!

I have an employee who was a student and then got employment authorization. She asked me to begin the process of getting her an H1B; but then we determined that she really wanted a green card. Can I use the LCA I got for her H1B to apply for her I-i40?
LAC for H1B and LCA for Green card are entirely different .
Thanks

Democrats are usually pro illegal immigrants since they would be getting more votes by legalizing illegals. Republicans are more pro business and hece are usually more open to legal immigrants but even they seem to be taken over by anti-immigrant hard core conservatives these days.
Of course nut jobs like Tom Tancredo (R- CO) will do more harm by projecting legal immigrants as American job exploiters along with racist organizations such as NumbersUSA.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will celebrate the grand opening of its new field office and application support center in Bedford on Thursday, Sept. 2, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, naturalization ceremony and tours of the facility. USCIS Associate Regional Director Shelley Goodwin will preside during the naturalization ceremony and will administer the Oath of Allegiance to 25 citizenship candidates. She will be joined by USCIS� Boston District Director Denis Riordan and USCIS� Manchester Field Office Director Simon Abi Nader.
Gov. John Lynch will join USCIS and delivering remarks for the special naturalization ceremony. Joining USCIS for the ribbon-cutting ceremony will be Bedford Town Manager Russell Marcoux, Mayor of Manchester Ted Gatsas and Glenn C. Rotondo, acting regional administrator of General Services Administration, New England region.
The new office, at 9 Ridgewood Road, will provide a range of immigration services, including naturalization interviews, lawful permanent resident processing, fingerprinting and photographic services and is well-suited to serve the area�s immigrant community. The new facility replaces the former Manchester location on Canal Street. The new office is based on a national model for new USCIS office locations throughout the country.
The new building is being dedicated to Sgt. Major Abraham Cohn, Civil War Medal of Honor recipient. Cohn was born in 1832 in Guttentag, an East Prussian town. He immigrated to the U.S. in the mid-19th century and fought for the Union during the Civil War serving with the 6th New Hampshire Infantry Volunteers. He was awarded the Medal of Honor �for conspicuous gallantry� in the Battle of the Wilderness (May 6, 1864) and �for bravery & coolness� at the Battle of the Crater (July 30, 1864).
The 25 citizenship candidates originate from 13 countries: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil, China, France, Iran, Kosovo, Malaysia, Pakistan, Poland, Russia, Sudan, Thailand and United Kingdom. The ribbon cutting will take place at 11 a.m. with the naturalization ceremony to follow at 1 p.m.

Hi,
I have received the EAD card yesterday with No finger prints available. But we have done our Finger printing before the EAD is approved. Approx 4 weeks before.
Is this normal? Or i should contact USCIS about this?
I know some applicants getting their EAD cards before finger prints were taken for them No finger prints available makes sense.
Any responses are appreciated

Hi
I am going to appear for H1-B interview next month.
I was supposed to get my degree in 2000(Electronic Engineering) however due to backlogs and since I started job before degree completion I completed my degree in 2005.
Is that a real big problem?
Although I have double bachelors one in Electrical Engineering and other is science but my work evaluation is based on my bachelor of engineering degree.
Please help.

Hi,
I will be going for H1B stamping in feb/March at Mumbai Consulate.
In 2001 my F1 visa got rejected 3 times because I showed that I have sister in USA.
My sister is in still in USA. Now while taking H1B appointment in form I have again to mention yes or no (for the Que do you have any relatives in USA)
What I should do? What will be the effect if I said No? Do you think, VO will ask me that your F1 got rejected because you had sister in USA? So now did she came back?
Please reply me ASAP.
Thanks,
As far as i know no us consulate has right to reject H1b unless u have fasle docs or involved in wrong activities. Also DO NOT GIVE/WRITE any FALSE information about you to them or in other words DO NOT LIE to them .
F1 rejection has NO baring on H1b.
hope this helps.
