The tool you are looking for is Google. Just search for your local Senator and give him a call, they will tell you what they need. As you said, Senator is very effective if your date is current.
Thank you Sathweb.

Guys, if you are suggesting that we should start work on each of these pending issues, then
a) either you start working on them by joining the IV Local State Chapters or
b) contribute ****from your heart*** to IV to do the noble work.

i am not a lawyer and may be mistaken, but i was told that if one's spouse is using EAD, then you must be in EAD status and cannot be in H1 status (since then dependent spouse would be in H4 status and cannot work).
Can anyone confirm this?
best,

It is the other way.
If the spouse has EAD and wishes to be in AOS, then the primary applicant can be either on H1-B or on EAD; it does not matter.
If the spouse has no EAD (so that s/he has to be on H-4), or for whatever reason wants to remain in H-4, then the primary applicant must be on H1-B.

Hello,
My first H1-B visa expires in September 2009. I was going to have my company file for extension exactly 6 months before the expiry date until I found out I cannot travel out of the U.S. while my extension application is pending. I have a trip planned in July.
My company attorney recommended that I put off submitting the extension, go on my trip and apply as soon as I get back.
Is there any risk associated with doing this? Or is it better to apply as soon as I can at the 6 month mark?
Thank you,
Team
I never heard of this...Last year I applied for extension and had to travel for family emergency. But I got the approval without any issues. Might be just lucky?

is there any limitation in sending DHS 7001 to ombudsman?
Because i already sent this form twice and no response so far. Should i send it third time?
There we go again. Now we need to create another ombudsman to make sure current ombudsman office works straight...:p
Call the BLACKHOLE aka cis office, get info about your case, and note the person's badge you spoke, time and day of your call, put it in a letter along with file 7001 and send to ombudsman's office (also mention in the letter that you filed 7001 couple of times earlier). You need to get hold of someone in ombudsman's office and be in constant touch through email or something...You should have been on the conference call past week...Next time you can participate and ask directly...

I had written senator Feinstein about retrogression sometime last year. A response came 2 weeks later:
"As of today federal healthcare is available to undocumented immigrants only in cases of emergencies. Undocumented immigranst are a drain on federal resources. Blah blah blah........." Bull ****
True Feinstein seems to be least sensitive to immigrant woes. Her husband is a rich investment banker so I guess she is more business friendly rather than grassroots friendly.
Senator Boxer had replied
" I believe every citizen should have a say in the country. I value your opinion and can assure you that it will be taken into consideration during my work in the senate on this topic"
Much more polished. However it seems these are stereotype responses and I think senators do not read these emails. This is a sophisticated way of saying "Dont lecture me.... Mind your own business" This is how in America...
That's certainly a lot better than the "spam" i got from Senator Feinstein.
I just got some *#&$ about thanking me for supporting her blue card and AgJOBS initiatives, with not a mention on tackling retrogression issues.
Hardly a huge surprise, but I'm writing back

WOW! that would be great. All you have to do is fill out the application at http://s7.invisionfree.com/TGG_Team_Forum/ and you can go to http://s7.invisionfree.com/TGG_Team_Forum/ to register. Also if you don't check your email often, you should. Most communication is based on email and if you don't reply after some time your gone. (it's happened before!)

All,
I'm trying to understand if it is a general practice of USCIS to specify an A# on the FP notice. My FP notice has an A# that starts with USCIS A# A08xxxxxxx. I wonder if this means that a visa number has been assigned to my case. If not, is it merely another case or alien number? I found the following at http://www.kkeane.com/general-faq.shtml and am not sure what the A# stands for. Also, any idea why the priority date field is empty on my FP notice?
<QUOTE>
There actually are four separate types of A#. You can tell them apart by the number of digits and the first digit. The first kind is an eight-digit A#. These are manually assigned at local offices. If you have one of these numbers, simply treated it as if it was "0" plus the number. Nine-digit A#'s that start with the digit 1 are used for employment authorization cards, usually related to students. Nine-digit A#'s that start with the digit 3 are used for fingerprint tracking of V visa applicants. All other nine-digit A#'s (these actually always start with a 0) are permanent A#'s and remain permanently with you for life.
Therefore, the rule is: if you are asked for an A# and have one, always give this A#, regardless of whether it starts with a 0, 1 or 3. If you have both a 0-A# and a 1-A# or a 3-A#, then use the one that starts with a 0.

You are in AOS status now. need to file New I9 as all said.
You can always file new H1 (Not in quota but not extension) using your approved 140. So that can be done.
Talk to your lawyer
My H1B expire on 9/30 as well as my I-94 also expires 9/30. Some how I miss my H1B extenction. I have EAD that is valid until next year mid. I am working right now what is my current status? Is they any way still i can extend my H1B.
My employer is saying there is no way to extend H1B after crossing the last date. You have to work on EAD.
But my question my I94 is expired on 9/30 then what is my current staus.
thanks in advance.

My H1-B expires in Oct-2009. So my wife's H4 visa & I-94 are valid till Oct-2009.
I am applying for my H1 extension. I am attaching my wife's H4, I-94 with the extension.
She may have to go to INDIA in June and come back within a month. As she gets a new I-94 which will be valid for 3-4 months till Oct-2009 & her old I-94 is sent for extension, do i have to do anything else after that?
How does it work? Did anyone went through similar scenario?
Please advice.
Thanks.

Thank You for the information. But
1) I have heard from someone that there is a statement on their website that the transit visa is required only if the stay is more than 10/20 hours.
2) Where do they check for the transit visa? is it done while boarding into the airport in US or while entering into the German airport? If they find that we don't have a transit visa in Frankfurt airport, what would they do?
Please answer to my questions, this is really needed for me to act on getting the transit visa.

Able to read English or not should not constitute an offense. Not able to read a road sign and erring on that basis is an offense. All the regulatory and warning road signs have a symbol associated with the text (Octogon for stop 'U' for U-turn, curve ahead.....). Only the advisory signs (exit signs and street signs) have English names and no signs.

Hi,
Can you tell me what your lawyer sent to the USCIS. How did he link the approved 140 to the pending 485. Did he fill any form? I am in the same boat. My both 140's are with the same company though.
Thanks
Whatever my Lawyer has done , has not worked so far, I guess he sent copies of both I140's and a letter requesting to use the EB3 PD with the EB2 case.

Could someone please explain what are the implication of taking big promotion (example: Consultant to Manager) when
1. Labor is pending
2. Labor is clear; but I-140 pending
3. I-140 clear; but I-485 pending for less than 6 months
4. I-140 clear; but I 485 pending for more than 6 months
thanks,

ssd213 has pointed you in the right direction. However this is not so simple as taxes depend on a host of other factors that have not been mentioned.
To put it in one line, you will pay taxes in India after your RNOR period only on the accruals of the 401K funds. You cannot be taxed twice.
Thsis forum , http://www.r2iclubforums.com/clubvb/ has plenty of discussions on this topic.

I was on a website the other day. It mentioned that US consulate in Mumbai was not processing H1B & L1 visas now because of some renovation going on so many windows had to be closed. Please check on it before you go to Mumbai.
Have you got H1B stamp in your passport earlier? If yes then I would suggest going to Canada & having it stamped there. I spoke to a few people and they say Canada is easiest. In case they deny you, then you would have to go to India for stamping.
