Hi,
I want to apply for an H-1 this year. Actually I have a F-1 under OPT. I couldn't find an employer yet but hope get one soon.
I have some questions that I hope some of you could help me out with them.
- Should I hire an attorney to help me tru all the process or can I do it by myself? What you would recommend from your experience?
- How much are the attorney's fees and where can I find a good lawer?
Thank you so much for your help,
Silvia;)

Hello
My Labor approved in May 2007, Still i didn't received my Labor Hard Copy.
Anyone in same boat??:eek:
You will not receive the originals. They will go to the entity that filed your LC - if a lawyer filed for it, the original will go to the lawyer. If the employer filed for it, the original will go to the employer. You will have to sign one page of the original document (which the employer/lawyer should send to you) before filing your I-140. The employer does not legally have to provide you with a copy of the LC either.
Now, if your employer/lawyer have not received the original from the DOL, he/she can follow the instructions as stated on the PLC website to obtain a duplicate certification copy. Although from what you are saying, if it was approved in May of last year, it will have expired by now anyway.

I went for my AOS interview, everything seemed ok, officer said everything looks ok and he doesnt see any reason why i should not be approved, he however said that he needs to get the FBI clearance background check and that i should get my conditional PR card in the mail, he then stamped on my entrance visa " Cancelled without Prejudice" stamp, I am worried, what does this mean? The word cancel and everything ok does not seem right. Can someone help me please?
This means that the VISA cancellation has been done as a matter of procedure, not because of any wrongdoing.
Another common case is when one goes to the consulate for a VISA stamping, then the consulate officer stamps the existing unexpired VISA stamps as "Cancelled without prejudice".

Is there any law for disabled immigrant. I am 33 years old, and I am disabled, and I am here in US from 1998. I really want to settle down in one place, and it does not matter whether it is India or America but I think I have to make a choice right now, or my future will be a big question mark.
I have waited for a long time, thinking future will be bright, day by day I dont feel I will get my Green Card, So as my lost option I am wondering whether there is any option for disable immigrant? Any help is appreciated.
thanks
I dont think there is any special provision for disabled as far as GC is concerned.
Could you please elaboarte more.
What is your status ?? How far you are in GC process like 140 applied /approved ??

To be 100% safe, wait for EAD.
But there are many threads where folks have given their inputs per consultation from their lawyers and have mentioned that EAD "part time" does not invalidate your regular H1 as long as you have continued with your regular H1 employment. Your case is in a grey area.

I would appreciate any and all advice that anyone can provide:
My green card was sponsored by my husband, who has a GC. I was travelling out of the country on advance parole, when my passport got stolen, and I had to return to my original country to get a new passport issued, this took some months, during which, my advance parole to travel document expired. SO I could not enter the US. Then, a couple of weeks later, my green card approval, I485 was approved and a notice sent to me in the US. This was in June 2006. Since then, I have not received any other letter/notice, or the GC itself, and I am still stuck outside the US, without my husband. My lawyer is not doing naything about it, and I dont know what I can do?? I have tried contacting the 1800 number, and they say they put in service requests for me, but I have still not received any new information from that end as well, and each time, I have to wait 45 days before they can put in a new service request.
Help!!
Please advise, as it has been so long, and I am still stuck outside the US without my husband.
Any and ALL advice is most welcome

My case is similar too, my husband filed 485 for both of us on 29th June, we both have H1b. But on June 15th one H1b transfer was filed for me (dependent in 485) which was confirmed to us on June 22nd and I joined new company on June 26th.
But the whole transfer thing is not mentioned in 485 because we were not aware at time of filling forms (june 18th).
Is this going to create problem? do we need to send update/form to USCIS about this?

Hi everyone,
I applied for my I-131, I-765 and I-485 together under EB-2 category on the 13th of September 2010. I got approval letters for both I-131 and I-765 by the 9th of November 2010. My wife and I also received our EAD cards and travel documents. But today I got another set of receipts for both I-765 and I-131 with rfe for photographs. The receipts number are different in both the previous and new receipts and the new ones are showing up in pending state on the USCIS website.
Please let me know what can be the reason I got these duplicate receipts and what should be the next steps.
Thank you all in advance,
Bathuzp
Take Infopass and talk to them. In my opinion if you have approvals in your hand, they stand valid.
USCIS - Left hand does not know what right hand does and vice versa.
I understand your confusion, I hope you find a patient officer at your infopass appointment.
Question:
Did you apply for your EAD/AP yourself and did your lawyer(if you hired) also apply for EAD/AP. Check with your lawyer and employer too.

I am not a lawyer, so make sure do discuss with a good lawyer. I am just sharing the info that I know.
US labor laws are good that no organization can stop an employee from joining any organization/company. Even if your company made you to sign a agreement, that doesn't hold in front of the law. This law could vary little from state to state, but not to great extent.
If you are receiving calls and emails from your employer, I would suggest, change the phone number, apartment/house, etc. and ignore him. But you should know that at 140 stage you need experience letter from employer. Make sure you can get it from your colleagues. Or you must cut a deal with your ex-employer now.

In general, macro lenses around 100mm are good for most kinds of macro photography. They have too much working distance for use on a copy stand, and not quite enough for skittish and/or dangerous insects or small animals. For general purpose stuff, the angle of view is such that you get enough background isolation to be worthwhile (you can rotate around your subject just a bit to get a highlight out of the background, while a 50mm macro takes in more background and makes this difficult).
I got a used Tamron 90mm, and let's just say that the build quality does not inspire confidence - however, the image quality is excellent. From what little I've seen of the Sigma 105mm macro (and from the many images that the members here have posted), it appears to have a bit better build quality and fine image quality as well. The Nikon macro is not going to be much better, if at all, in image quality than these, and you will pay dearly for the brand name. The one macro lens to avoid, however, is a "Phoenix" macro that only goes to 1:2 (that means that you can't get enough magnification for most small insects and flowers to fill the frame) and is most likely more cheaply built than my Tamron. Almost every other macro lens goes to 1:1 these days, and you can get the nicer ones used from KEH for not much more, so there's no reason to buy not-so-ideal lenses that you'll outgrow in no time anyway.
