Hi Folks:
Thank You for your interest. I just reserved the conference room at Tysons Pimmit Library 7584 Leesburg Pike Falls Church, VA 22043 - (703) 790-8088 on 5/9/2009 from 3PM-5PM.
I expressed interest to lead the MD chapter but definitely looking for support to build our chapter.
Agenda for the meeting:
nixstor would be updating us on the following issues.
(1) State Department's Forecast on the Visa Bulletin for the remainder of
the year
(2) Immigration legislation progress on the hill & WH so far
(3) Miken Institute Global conference on Housing and Immigration.
(4) DC/MD/VA chapter
Thanks,
Rayoflight
P.S Ask for the conference room at the library.
For those who are in MD and wondering why the Tysons location

(2) Tyson's Pimmit is conveniently located off of 495.

I filed I-485 in July 2007 through my employer (EB3 with Priority date - 02/2004) and my wife filed her I-485 adjustment of status at the same time. We don't have our H-1 visas anymore and using EAD & AP for employment and travel.
We want to adopt a child in India as Inter-country adoption (as a Indian resident). For this, my wife have to travel to India and stay with the child for two years from the date of guardianship.
As there is no Green Card in sight for EB-3:
1. If she stays in India for two years, will it affect her I-485 application? If yes, how can we avoid that - like travel back to US once in a while etc.
2. As per US Immigration law, the parent(s) has to stay with the adoptive child for two years. Assuming that my wife stays with the child for 2 years in India, will the child get a visa so that we can bring the child to US? or do we need to file a I-485 for the child? What happens if my GC is approved within that 2 year period? Can we still bring the child to US? On what type of visa/status?
Appreciate any help in this regard.

Washington, D.C. � Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) today introduced a bill to void the recent increases in immigration fees by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The bill would void the new fee structure set to take effect today and reinstate the previous fee structure. The bill also states that USCIS has consistently failed to reduce application backlogs and has suffered from a lack of transparency and effective management.
�Our immigration services need to move into the 21st century,� stated Rep. Zoe Lofgren. �But, USCIS has consistently failed to explain or justify the amounts and distributions of this new fee increase. While I agree that USCIS needs to modernize its existing infrastructure and procedures, they must do so in a transparent and open manner. After repeated requests over several months, USCIS has yet to provide Congress with a detailed plan for its infrastructure modernization efforts. Our immigration system should be both effective and fair; sacrificing one to achieve the other should not be an option.�
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren is serving her seventh term in Congress representing most of the City of San Jose and Santa Clara County. She serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law. She also Chairs the House Administration Subcommittee on Elections and serves on the House Homeland Security Committee. Congresswoman Lofgren is Chair of the California Democratic Congressional Delegation consisting of 34 Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives from California.

Hi,
I am on H1B since June 2004. My company filed labor and I-140. My I-140 got approved on Oct 2008. I am on my 6th year in H1B and I got my H1 extension till Apr 2012 (based on the I-140 approval) recently. Based on this information, can you please reply for the following?
a) Can I move to a different company now? Since my H1 extension is based on I-140 approval, I am not sure if this can be used to transfer to new company.
b) When I do a H1 transfer now, Will I get my H1 date till Apr 2012 as per my current H1 approval notice or just for the few more months I had on my original H1B?
c) What will happen to my labor and I-140 after my H1 transfer? My labor was originally applied in EB3 category. Can I file a new one in EB2 category after transferring to the new company?
Thanks in advance...

Hi All,
A few questions for those who have experience with registering a sole prop. in the US.
My wife is on an H4 visa and has registered a sole prop. earlier this year. Since she is not eligible to work, she has hired a U.S. citizen as a contractor to run the company.
Does owning a company in the US have any impact on our green card application?
Can she draw profits from the company at the end of the year as a return on the investment she made to start the company?
Is she considered a "U.S. person" ( seen in multiple tax forms )?
Is it safe for her to fill out a W-9 form with the FEIN that the company was registered with?
Thanks for the quick response.
Not a very good idea, IMHO.
Has she hired anyone for company affairs - hiring, tax and other reports. She can NOT perform any work for sole proprietorship, other than as pure investment.
C-Corp could have better choice.

Hi,
I submitted my 485/765/131 application in May this year and my 485 is pending. I received my EAD but I got an email from CRIS saying that there is an RFE on my AP. The RFE email was on July 13th but my lawyer still hasn't received the RFE. How long does it typically take to receive the RFE?
Thanks.
Takes some time for RFE to come to the lawyer around 2 weeks or so.RFE might be on photographs or colour visa copy so chill.

I guess your H4 is not approved yet and continuing your employment on H1B. Your best course of action would be to have your employer file an extension (beyond 6 years) for H1B and get a 3-year approval (with approved I-140). You can change jobs after this but if you don't want to take this path you can still find a new employer before end of march and apply for H1B to get a 3-Year H1B. You will need to restart your PERM and go through the whole process with your new employer ASAP.
So I am not able to apply for a new H1B while on H4? Thanks!

Dear friends, i would like to share my experience regarding the earlier post. My brother as i told you had surrendered his I-94 to the airline while departing for canada.
He went to the US immigration at Toronto airport and the officer asked him for his I-94 which he told that airline had taken from him. Officer told that the airline was wrong in doing so and called his superior who told that it was not a problem and they issued him with a new I-94 card with out a problem and he got back into the US.
i guess the lesson is not to panic and carry all your doccuments with you. In summary, automatic visa revalidation works but please do not surrender your old or new I-94 to the ailrine if you are planning to visit canada or mexico for < 30 days.

I got a NOID because my 140 was withdrawn by my employer, if your 140 is not withdrawn then you must be ok. The problem I have is, I had filed AC21 even before the 140 withdrawal but not after a year after its withdrawal, I am getting a NOID.
I am just disappointed by their carlessness before sending a NOID. If they had see my documents, they would have found my AC21 as I had added it along with my RFE response. Anyway not much I can do other than responding back with a new AC21. I wanted to see if there is a pattern to this pattern.

I and my family have to travel to India urgently due to medical urgency. Our only AP document was taken last year and this year the renewal is not yet done. We are using our EAD status and H1 is expired and no longer available.
Is there a way I can get an emergency appt and a AP travel document. if yes, what do I need to do to get that.
If this question has been answered earlier, can someone point to the right source.
Thanks in advance.

I would strongly recommend getting her on L1 /L2 or H1 / H4. How? I am not sure and depends on your situation. If she is on F1 she may have problems as F1 is strictly a non immigrant visa and she clearly has immigration intent.
Also, unless something as unusual as in July 2007 happens, there is a slim chance for you to file her 485.

My friend, do not call Sir to any one here. We all are on the same boat and trying to share our experiences and learn from each other.
Were you given a 221g? possibly green or some other color?
It appears from your email that you have submitted the requested documents and got the email from the embassy to submit the passport. If this is the case you may want to follow up with the embassy.
Sir,
I have extended my H1b visa in Sept. 2010. I appeared for interview in New Delhi and submitted my Passport on 20th of April 2011 and today is 23rd of May 2011. What do you think that how much more time can they take?
Regards

When you say "You need your employer's approval, without them you cannot change the attorney" Do you mean that they have to sign the new G28 forms ? Can you clarify ?
Thanks.
That will taken care in-between both the lawyers, but it is your employer who should be ready to accept this. I have one of my colleague who just requested employer and he hired new attorney and got all his papers moved.
So bottom line, employer should agree.

When the tech companies/competeamerica.org are bragging that retrogression is anti competitive and severely constraining the growth of the techies/employees, why can�t an antitrust lawsuit stand good in US courts?
Can somebody shed more light on this and explain why any lawsuit wont work against retrogression and/or for issue of EAD after I-140 approval, when retrogression is anti-competitive.
