Congradulations again to all those IV memeber who are getting Green card approvals and goodluck to all those members who are able to file their I485 and get EAD, just to be out of H1B /H4 clutches and one more step closer to green card
As current drastic visa movment proved the fact that for IV members main issue is not current law but itz implimentation. a change in law will certainly help, but thatz not our big problem
I would like to discuss your IV future agend with current situation, Please post your opinion how you think IV should procede based on current situations.
I belive IV should now concentrate more on making sure current law is implimented in a more effeciant way, make sure USCIS does not waste any visa numbers, we need to push for speeding citizenship processes and makeup for loss time during retrogression
IV should stop chasing CIR which has nothing for us and itz very controversial
IV is for legals and we should concentrate only on whatz good for us
I really appreciate core members opinion
by the way I got my approval for my I485

Hi All,
My application reached california service center on nov14 th for H1B extension. I am still waiting for the receipt notices. How long long does it take. Anyone in a similar boat.
Thanks for the response.

Here is a quick update from the California Service Center regarding this new fee. The additional filing fees of $2,000 for certain H-1B petitions and $2,250 for certain L- 1A and L-1B petitions is applicable to petitioning employers who employ 50 or more employees in the United States and 50% of the petitioner�s employees are in H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status. The PL 111-230 fees do not apply to petitions requesting an extension of H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status with the same employer (only for initial filings for a new beneficiary).
When the fee is not required, it is critical that the petitioner explicitly acknowledge this and explain why it is not required in the I-129 filing. If this is not done, USCIS will likely issue a Request for Evidence asking for a statement from the petitioner, causing unnecessary delays in processing.
The Service Center previously stated:
Until the Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (Form I-129) and the Nonimmigrant Petition Based on Blanket L Petition (Form I-129S) are revised, USCIS recommends that all H-1B, L-1A, and L-1B petitioners include, as part of the filing packet, the new fee or a statement or other evidence outlining why this new fee does not apply. USCIS requests that petitioners include a notation indicating whether or not the fee is required in bold capital letters at the top of the cover letter. The fee, statement, notation, or other evidence should be provided with each petition submitted. Where the fee or documentation is not submitted with the filing, or where questions remain, USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence to determine whether the additional fee applies to the petition.The following is a sample statement that the petitioner employer could use:
By this statement we confirm that our company (the petitioner) is not required to pay the H-1B filing fee under Public Law 111-230. Our business does not have more than 50 percent of our employees in the United States in H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant visa status. Therefore, we are not required to pay the additional filing fee.
Please email me with any questions regarding the above referenced info.

Hi..
Need some urgent help here..
One of my friend is working for X employer on L1 Visa since 2007. He applied for H1B visa through Y company in 2008 quota, luckily he got it but never joined the company. Now his L1 visa is about to expire.
Question is
What will happen to his H1B visa after L1 visa renewal ?
Thanks in advance
When the H1B was approved if COS was filed and approved, your friend is in trouble. The moment the H1B was approved with COS - means the H1B was coming into effect based on the effective date and L1 was gone. But if your friend did not join the company who sponsored the H1B and still working with L1 - he is out of status. L1 was invalid and he didnot join the H1B sponsor. Effectively he does not have any visa now.
But if the H1B was not filed as COS - Change of Status, he is fine. Now if you go to renew the L1, he would lose the H1B. Whatever the latest visa became valid. So if he wants to switch over to H1B and if its not expired, he may need to file for COS.

Hi
I have similar situation with my EAD renewal too, my employer filed my EAD renewal, my I-485 case is pending in TSC (txed from NSC) but my renewal was sent to NSC, when enquired, following is the response I received back from my companies Immigration group,
"Renewal applications are filed based on the location of your residence, as per CIS requirements"
I am based out of MN, hence NSC.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I am planning to file my I-485 and for that I got my Birth Certificate from India and have a question related to it. The name provided for my Passport and all other documents is "Rajendra Upadhya Kumbhasi" but in my Birth Certificate they have included my father's name along with my name i.e. my Birth Certificate has "Rajendra Murlidhar Upadhya Kumbhasi". I would like to know if this could be a issue and if so will a affidavit help me resolve this issue.
Please let me know.
Regards,
Raj

Hi Everybody,
I am an Indian and I have been living in USA for more than one year.Right now I am on F2 visa(dependent of F1 visa holder). Recently I got my I-20 and Now I will have to get F1 visa in order to register for classes. I don't have enough time to get my status changed from USA.Please can somebody tell me what will be the procedure of getting visa from Mexico or Canada? And how long this procedure takes ?
Please somebody guide me ...I am really in hurry..
It will be very risky and very likely your visa will be denied (and you will not be able to reenter US), especially because it is the first visa and not an extension. F-1 applicant's must overcome presupposition of immigration intent, especially the first time. In your case (applying from Canada/mexico; spouse already in US), you will have a hard time to convince the IO that you do not intend to immigrate to US.
Note that H1-B does not have that problem: it is a dual intent visa.
I do have a friend who successfully got his F-1 extended from London. But he was a late stage Ph.D. student from a very well known school, fully funded by assistantship, working on a very hot topic and single.

I wanted to introduce myself as I am new to this forum and digital photography. I have always had a keen interest in photography but never got around to doing anything about it until now. I just ordered my first real camera, I bought a Nikon D70s with the 18-70 and 55-200 lenses, and it should be here by the end of the week. My job provides me the opportunity to see many different places around the world and I am hoping to get good enough to capture and share the sights and feelings of my travels. My wife and I also enjoy motorcycling and get to see a lot of the country that you miss if you take the interstate and hope to capture some of these sites as well. I will probably have a lot of dumb rookie questions and ask for your patience as I learn this new hobby. In return if you have any questions concerning motorcycles (especially BMW�s) or guitars I might be able to help there.

L1s don't visit these sites because most them don't apply for green card. L1s are majorly used by big companies like TCS, Infosys, etc. Those big corporates won't apply for GC. Very rarely based on relationship and long service some apply for GC.
I see lots of L1 bashing. In reality L1s are pitier than H1s. L1 cannot transfer their visa and change job as H1s do. They have to wait till H1 quota to open up for changing jobs. They run in a rat race to keep their manager happy to get better rating in their appraisal.
PS: I am on H1 status.
6 to 1...... maybe L1 guys don't visit this forum since they already got thier GCs....:rolleyes:

This thought occured to me this morning and wanted to bounce off. Feel free to trash it if it is not practical.
I have seen somewhat lukewarm response to Fund raising and I feel there is potential to multiply the effect.
If there is a way for IV to match up clients and IV members for part time efforts and the revenue going to IV, I think it will have bigger impact in terms of fund generation.
How it can work?
Assuming core team and extended leadership team at IV has networked into the Industry, it can get pieces of work carved out. These deliverables are those that can be collaborated on, worked on remotely.
These need not be necassarily in IT. It could be in advertising, acocuonting, graphic designing etc.
IV will seek volunteers interested in participating in this initiative and build skills database and try matching up with the services required.
All the revenue from such services will go to IV.
For IVians who volunteer, besides satisfaction of contributing to the cause, industry networking is a nice offshoot.
This may be my opinion, but volunteering is easy if it is something you do as your second nature.
I have seen few non-profit organizations provide services for a fee. I am not sure what restrictions are placed on IV from a taxation point of view. But over time, the fund raising wing of IV could be delivering on some niche solutions. I am sure some sympathetic corporations would be supporting by providing work.

How long it take (in terms day) to receive actual RFE mail notice after LUD status update online about RFE?
No RFE so far. Like I said all I see is new LUDs and all the online messages on i-485 cases say "case received and pending" on all cases. All cases are at Nebraska.

Hi,
I am currently working on a fulltime H1B and my GC process is going on with second stage (I140) in progress. Now my old employer wants me to work parttime for them which I agreed upon but this is a possibility only if I have a parttime H1B applied w.r.t old employer which I am thinking to apply for it and work parttime. But my question here is does this effect my GC processing? If it is what are the effects? Please reply me back. Thanks a lot.

Hi Experts,
On July 8th I filed my EAD. I never got any Finger Print Appointment from USCIS. I have been constantly trying to reach them about my FP appointment. But, on Sep 20TH I got a notice saying my petition has been denied because I have not appeared for my FP on Aug 3rd.
They asked me to file a motion, my confusion is should I file a motion or should I reapply. Which one makes it easy and fast to get my EAD ASAP.
Thanks,
--Bala

No need to say sorry to me, I was just pointing it out.

Ah, the magical E-Verify solution. If we just required it for everything from getting a job to applying for any kind of government benefit and now qualifying for a mortgage, all would be right with America. In the mean time, innocent Americans are still getting caught in non-confirmation hell. For example, I'm trying to help a good friend who is a fourth generation American who inexplicably has been bounced in E-Verify. She has taken multiple trips to the Social Security Administration office and spent hours on the phone over the last several weeks trying to fix this glitch and yesterday...

You can do it anywhere. I got my F1-H1 change of status stamping from Canada.
For first time H1B stamping, do we have to get it done in our Home country (India in my case)? Or can we get it done in Canada or Mexico?
I am currently on my OPT and have applied for my H1B visa. Your input will be appreciated!
Thanks
