Actually folks staying in the UAE can apply to the U.S. consulate there even if they are not local citizens of UAE. The disadvantage of applying in the consulate in UAE is that the visa will be slated to expire when the UAE visa expires. Logic being that if your status in the UAE expires, your US visa expires. In addition, chances of rejection are higher since the only local tie you have to the UAE is your job.
I would try to see if you could go to your home country and apply. If it is urgent, then you would want to try the US consulate in UAE.

Chintu25,
I've joined the Google group. I'm unable to attend Sep 18th rally due to personal reasons. But willing to help in whatever other ways I can.

The interview process is independent of the way you made your appointment. Its just that you being a returning US worker need an early appointment at the US Consulate. Well, the appointment dates these days are already very easily available without any long waitings like before. Infact being a returning US worker, you should expect less number of questions from the counselor.
2011 Happy Birthday, Johnny Depp

LA OPINION (Editorial): The time is now!
|2010-11-16 | La Opini�n
The time is now! - La Opini�n - noticias locales, nacionales e internacionales desde Los �ngeles - impre.com (http://www.impre.com/laopinion/opinion/2010/11/16/the-time-is-now-222571-1.html#commentsBlock)
Democrats return back to a lame-duck Congressional session in which they have a majority in both chambers. This is the moment to make the effort to pass the DREAM Act and open up the path for hundreds of thousands of young people to enter the university or serve in the Armed Forces.
Major legislation on the agenda between now and the end of the year includes making permanent the Bush-era tax cuts, passing the fiscal year 2011 spending bill or at least passing a stopgap measure to continue to fund the government, extending unemployment benefits, and addressing cuts in Medicare payments to doctors.
There are many important issues on the floor and the position that will be taken by the Republicans is still unclear given they will have control of the House of Representatives in two months.
Despite this, we believe the DREAM Act must be added to the mix. In these past two years of Democratic control, the concerted push for comprehensive immigration reform never materialized. At a minimum, during these last weeks of legislative control, they should seek passage of legislation that would allow undocumented high school graduates � who have grown up in the U.S. � to continue their studies or to join the military.
Similar efforts a few months back failed because critics unjustly denounced the bill as an "amnesty," as if these young people were responsible for having been brought to the U.S. by their parents. Other critics charged that the bill would prove to be a magnet for immigrant parents to bring young children here. Such criticism ignores the real reasons for immigration.
This legislative session is filled with dozens of legislators who have either lost their reelection or are planning to retire. They have nothing to lose by doing the right thing and voting for a bill that will help the economy in the short and long term by preparing our country�s future labor force. And, at the same time, they will be strengthening the military.
Political savvy and determination will be needed to pass this legislation. Opportunities exist to attach it to other bills if it appears that it cannot be approved on its own. With so much at stake , the time to act is now!

I started my 10 hr./week part time job 2 years back (I was 4 years on my primary H1 by then). We filed a 2nd H1 and had no problems getting it approved - we got a 2 year approval aligned with the primary H1s 6 year expiry..
My both, the primary H1 and the 2nd H1 are up for renewal in Jan 07 & April 07 respectively and I am also up on the 6 years on my H1 by then.
I have an approved I-140 from my primary H1.
I have a question which I hope someone can help me answer. Will the 2nd H1 also qualify for the 3 year extensions, just like the primary H1 based on the I-140 approval on the primary H1?
I am guessing yes (it sounds logical to me), but am not sure...can anyone confirm?

It is very late to be submitting the RFE response now. CIS will probably deny the H-1B and your employer will need to refile. The employer should have asked for an extension before the due date.

You need approved EAD. apart from waiting for 180 days. You also need I-140 APPROVED. If you have just recently applied for EAD (2 weeks ago) Do not expect it till atleast early April. It is taking them more than 90 days to approve EAD.
WAIT till you get EAD Approved AND I-140 Approved. Research about AC21 and how you can take advantage of that. Read up threads on AC21. It is going to be a longer wait than you thought.

The H-2B program is critically important for many businesses that have difficulty finding U.S. workers to fill temporary jobs. This is particularly true in seasonal industries. Comments from H-2B employers attest to the need for foreign workers in physically demanding seasonal jobs, often in remote locations, that many U.S. workers will not take.
The H-2B nonimmigrant visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137785.html) program permits employers to hire foreign workers to come to the U.S. and perform temporary nonagricultural work, which may be one-time, seasonal, peak load or intermittent and there are no qualified and willing U.S. workers available for the job. Note that this visa is not available for "temporary" agencies or other work placement agencies.
In order to learn more about employers� perceptions of the H-2B program, ImmigrationWorks USA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce conducted a survey: five short questions distributed among H-2B employers in July and August 2010. The survey asked how many H-2B workers the company had hired in the last three years and what types of jobs those workers held. It included two open-ended questions about the benefits of using the program and asked what if any problems employers had experienced.
Another open-ended question asked what employers would do if they were not able to hire H-2B workers. Participation was voluntary, and results could be submitted via email, fax or the internet. A total of 367 employers responded. The majority of H-2B employers who responded to the survey noted that temporary foreign workers are reliable and hard-working. Many also praised these workers� productivity: a benefit that offsets the cost of bringing them into the United States. Respondents appreciated that H-2B workers were willing to work seasonal jobs and then return home when the season ended.
Important benefit of the program is that it offers companies a way to hire foreign workers when U.S. labor markets tighten. The program increases labor market flexibility by allowing businesses to bring in foreign workers when U.S. workers move up to better, higher-paying jobs during economic expansions.

Hello Gurus,
Here is my situation and I really appreciate your advice:
I have filed my I-485, EAD, and AP thru my employer (consulting company) in EB3 category. I have received my EAD and AP but i havent invoked AC21.
I also have approved labor (PD--01/2006), and approved I-140 in EB2 category thru my client's company.
Since, EB3 category is not going anywhere, I am thinking of filing another I-485 thru my client in EB2 category.
1) Is it possible for me to file second I-485 in EB2 category while first I-485 is waiting for approval?
2) Can i port my EB3 PD (12/2003) while filing 2nd I-485 thru client?
Thanks in advance!!!

You can immigrate base dupon family sponsorship, employment or just the point system without employment.
I qualified by point system without employment offer. You can take the test on line for free to see if you qualify by the point system.
Best of Luck

how we applied for expedite advance parole thru the phone - VisaJourney.com (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=177190)
I used these instructions to expedite my wife's AP based on "medical emergency". USCIS did not send me letter asking for evidence of emergency, instead just approved the case the next day. I had taken infopass appt but cancelled it when i saw approval email. some people who went to infopass have been told that AP cannot be expedited at local office and must be done by phone.
File at : Texas Service Center
Method: Paper based
Filed on : 7/24/09
Received by USCIS : 7/27/09
Receipt notice date: 7/28/09
Called USCIS to expedite: 8/10/09
Approval email : 8/11/09
Received approved AP by mail : 8/14/09
-Basically have all info ready (ap receipt notice #, A#, 485 receipt notice #, SSN, date of birth, email address etc).
- If this is your wife's case, have her in the conference as USCIS will not talk to you without her permission.
-Call the ph # on the receipt notice and follow the prompts
-Let the CS rep complete his/her script, and politely answer his/her questions.
-Rep will enter service request in the system and give you a conf # (which i don't know how to use, status is checked by receipt #).
-Rep will say you will receive letter from USCIS within 5 business days, asking to fax/mail the evidence of emergency. be prepared to fax the evidence as soon as you receive letter OR EMAIL. yes they may send you email the second day which is actually better/faster.
*** You may or may not receive the letter from USCIS asking for evidence, in case you don't get one, you may simply receive approval.
Hope this helps anyone looking to expedite AP.

I recently did apply for EAD and the documents required are as below
1. Personal check or Money order for 380$. I prefer sending personal check so that i can know if my check was cashed.
2. I did paper filing and not e-Filing. Some say efile is better some say paper filing is better , i felt paper filing is easy and better , as we can track our documents sent.
3. Docs req are
1. Filled EAD Application form
2. your 485 receipt notice copy
3. Current Addresss proof. electricity bill, water bill etc.
3.Copy of the biographic page of passport for each applicant
4. i-94 Copy
5. 2 Photographs
6. SSN copy ( i put it as my attorney suggested but its not mandatory)
7. copy of driver licence
With e-file too, they instantly cash your payment via credit card or debit card. So, you can keep track of it.
