Hi All,
Q1) I would like to take a US consulate appointment for visitor's visa for my father. We are from southern Andhra Pradesh and Chennai consulate is convenient for us. Since Hyderabad has US consulate, does whole of Andhra come under HYD consulate jurisdiction? or can we take appointment in Chennai Consulate? Could you please let me know? My father is going for visa for the first time.
Q2) If visitor passport is expiring in next eight months and if the visitor is residing in US, is it possible to renew the passport here? Or the person has to go back to India and renew the passport there. I would just like to help my parents with the paper work and get it done if possible when they are here.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

We still in negotiation. not come to a stage where EAD has been asked for. i am wondering what else could they ask for other than EAD like do they need to provide any proof that they will sponsor my green card or do i need to file AC21 in advance.
It all depends on Company. Most of the companies they just see EAD and take you.
If that company has dedicated IMM people and IMM knowledge they might ask you for more information and they just want to make sure they don't need to support you when needed.
You know it all depends and varies form company to company.

USCIS recently issued a Memo that amends Adjudicator�s Field Manual on General Form I-140 Issues. Many issues are covered, but one of particular interest to our PERM (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1135851.html)readers is the Labor Certification Validity for Labor Certifications with an Ending Validity Date that Falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Federal Legal Holiday.
DOL has established a 180-day validity period for approved labor certifications. See 20 CFR 656.30(b). An approved labor certification must be filed in support of a Form 1-140 petition during the labor certification's validity period. DOL has not published any guidance regarding the treatment of labor certifications that effectively have a validity period of less than 180 days due to an ending validity date that falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a federal legal holiday.
USCIS will accept the filing of 1-140 petitions where the supporting labor certification validity period ends on a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday on the next business day, i.e., the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday. This action is most consistent with existing USCIS regulations, which allow cut-off dates for the filing of petitions and applications that fall on a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday to be extended until the next business day. See 8 CFR 1.1 (h). This procedure provides petitioning employers the benefit of the full 180 day validity period for approved labor certifications established by DOL.

Quick survey to findout how many people like the idea of having their passports restamped here in USA and avoid all the surprises and shocks. This doesn't need any legal fixes. It is a convenient measure for everyone. Besides it was an old practice that was stopped for "security" reasons or some crapp. It is a small step but helps with any cases like family emergency or some urgent business need to travel abroad.
Based on the poll results and suggestions, we can comeup with a strategy to address the issue.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/joshgerstein/0509/Obama_sets_WH_immigration_reform_event_for_June_8_ .html
President Barack Obama is inviting members of Congress to the White House for a June 8 meething to highlight immigration reform, an administration official confirmed to POLITICO Wednesday.
"The meeting will be an opportunity to launch a policy conversation that we hope will be able to start a debate that will take place in Congress later in the year," the official, who asked not to be named, said.
Asked if the session would be billed as a summit or a forum, like similar meetings on health care and fiscal responsibility earlier in the year, another official said, "This isn�t a forum or a summit with outside groups, this is solely a meeting with members of Congress on both sides of the aisle and both sides of the issue."
Another aide said about possible labels for the meeting: "I don't know that we're going to brand this in any particular way."
During a meeting in March with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Obama promised to host a public event on immigration, as POLITICO reported at the time. The New York Times reported last month that officials said the session would take place in May, but POLITICO reported yesterday that the timetable seemed to have slipped. Sources close to the process said it was delayed by various logistical issues, including focus on a possible Supreme Court pick next week.
Immigration reform advocates have been pressing Obama to vow to pass immigration reform this year. He has promised make the issue a priority, but has stopped short of setting a goal of getting a bill through Congress by December.

From what I have heard from close friends/relatives, your option B is correct.
Also, people living abroad and coming here and getting citizenship is only possible as you know if they fulfill the physical presence and continuous residency requirements. Further, since they have a US address (and can provide proof for it), why should the 90 days USCIS district requirement be an issue?!

Labor substitution is not an option anymore. I have PD Dec 2002 EB3 India working on EAD.
I am trying to pursue EB3 to EB2 porting. Risky but possible technically.
What is a probable timeline for Eb3 to Eb2 porting ? If we are already using EB3 EAD and not renewed old H1b, is it still possible to apply for Eb2 labor ?
Thanks.

Your VISA status should be determined by the I-94 you got last. Which one is it?

Guys,
Has anyone experienced this?
EB3-I

EAD/AP RD - July 11th, 2008
EAD/AP Notice Date - July 18th, 2008
EAD/AP approved - Aug. 18th, 2008
I just received EADs for me and my spouse and the validity is only 1 year! Aren't we (people whose PDs are retrogressed) supposed to receive EADs with 2 years validity?

I have been working for a private company LLC that operated as 3 smaller LLCs (regionally) but had the same/very similar names (e.g. XYZ, XYZ Asia).
I had H1Bs , LC, 140, 485 with this company.
Right now-
I have an approved 797 until 2010, but stamp expired in 2006
PD- Dec 2004
LC approved in 2006
140 approved 2007
485 applied July 2, 2007
Got EAD, AP in Aug 2007
Entered the US on AP in Dec 2007
The company and its regional entities changed the corporate structure and are now under a new legal entity name- XYZ (same as above). This happened after I got my EAD. To an outsider or our clients- there is no change. I have not signed any new employment papers with the new legal entity. Other than the address on my paystubs changing from my local headquarters to the WW headquarters nothing has changed for me.
Questions
Should I avail AC21/EAD because I am technically working for a different company?
Since this new entity has taken on the responsibilities for the old one, should I file something with the USCIS if they happen to check on the old entity when they adjudicate the 485?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Core Team,
Can you please indicate on the site if there are any bills (pending or otherwise in both the house and senate) that can get renewed focus or revived that would offer some sort of relief to the current situation of unavailability of visa numbers in the employment based green card process. I strongly feel that the current momentum and attention being drawn by the DOS/CIS update can be used to urge congress to pass some interim measure outside of CIR. That is where in my opinion should IV's focus be at this juncture. If and when you post anything on the site, i and other IV members i'm sure shall begin calling house reps. and senators to urge them for bringing the bill to the floor so that it provides relief to hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants.
Thanks!
Please IM the core members directly. I am not one. But I am sure once they ascertain your identity, they will provide all the details that you require.

If you get laid off, hopefully you have enough years on your initial 6 yr H1 to work with another employer an apply for a new labor and get back on track.
Hi, I just joined the group. Is there anything scheduled so far?
I also have an immigration question.
My employer filed the PERM with EB-2 in September 2007. It was audited in November. Still waiting. I have the fear I could get laid off. If this will happen before the Labor Department approval, and before the 1-year renezaw of my H1-B (exp. Sept.08), what will happen? Do I loose everything?
Thanks for your support.

Today, I received an email from USCIS that my EAD application got approved. My receipt date is on the 3rd week of May of 2007. What I don't understand is that the current processing time at NSC for I-765(EAD) for pending I-485 is March 26th, 2007.....
They are not always up to date on their processing times.
