Hi,
My I-140 will be approved shortly in premium processing and I'll be applying for 3yr H1 extension. There is a chance that I may get laid-off soon and I wanted to know if I can change the jobs while my H1 extension petition is pending with USICS. My current H1 will expire in June'07.
Sorry, if I am asking a question that has already been addressed here. I tried to browse the forum but could not find anything.
Thanks,
Natika

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
In an interview on David Letterman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpvNXPPOMr8), actor Robert Downey, Jr., talked about a problem he had last year in Japan, when upon entering he was detained and questioned about his past criminal record. Downey said: I probably should have seen there was a sign that said 'No Felons Allowed' in English and Japanese and I haven't had that expunged yet," he said. "You can actually get things expunged but I've been pretty busy. So I was detained, I was interrogated. It was a blast.
Haven't you settled up? Haven't you paid your debts? Letterman asked.
Clearly I haven't paid my debts to Japan, said Downey.
While I certainly feel somewhat bad for Mr. Downey, this short exchange gave the impression that nothing similar would ever happen in America! Hah!
U.S. Immigration Law contains restrictions that bar entry to people forever, for virtually any youthful indiscretion they have ever had, e.g. simple possession of a marijuana 20 years ago, without regard to whether or not you were actually convicted of the crime! You do not even need to have been convicted; the fact that you admit you did it will also get you barred from entry. Heck you will even be bounced (http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/43) from the United States after overstaying your visa for one day, leaving one day late, and then trying to come back in on that visa. Or, you will be detained and returned because the officer thinks you MIGHT be working (http://addxorrol.blogspot.com/2007/07/ive-been-denied-entry-to-us-essentially.html).
So, if you were watching David Letterman and thanking your lucky stars that America is far nicer to arriving tourists than Japan--think again!

Hi,
I am graduate student in Clinical Psychology. I am going to be working for a state employer during summer. This is mandatory for my program and I will receive 6 credits for it by the end of summer. However, due to some graduate school rules, I will have less than minimum credits to take during the Fall '10 and Spring '11 semesters. I was wondering if I could go ahead and work on CPT during summer (the employment is not paid), but register for those credits during Fall '10 and Spring '11 (breaking it up into 3 credits each) which will ensure my minimum registration.
Also, can I apply for CPT during a semester when I have taken minimum credits required and I am a TA (full 20 hours)?
Thank You in advance. Your timely opinion is appreciated!
You need ask your school officials regarding their CPT policy. It varies from school to school.

Today I will be giving a presentation on immigration law along with my colleague, V. Thomas Langford, to the Air Force JAG serving at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, California. The Air Force JAG Corps are lawyers who provide legal advice to those serving in the Air Force.
Our training today will focus on the basics of immigration law. We will be covering family-based immigration law and outlining the procedures involved in petitioning for a family member to immigrate to the United States. We will also be talking about the Violence Against Women Act ("VAWA") and how an individual may self-petition for immigration status if he or she has been the victim of abuse or mental cruelty. Finally, we will discuss the naturalization laws as they apply to those serving in the military at a time of a conflict.
It seems that I always learn something while preparing for a presentation. While preparing for this one, I learned that staff from USCIS in Sacramento go to Travis Air Force Base twice a month to interview applicants for naturalization and administer the oath of citizenship on the same day. Kudos to USCIS for taking the time to do this. USCIS has an entire website page devoted to military naturalization ceremonies (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=7b309f22ae951210VgnVCM1000004718190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=0a9ab58f71e14110VgnVCM1000004718190a RCRD) performed in May 2009. Included on it is the photo taken at Travis.

Hello,
I have been approved for a new H1 visa for 2 years - Consulate Case. My previous visa extension was denied & so applied for a new one with a different company in a different state. I m trying to book an appointment online for the interview in which I have to fill up DS 156 form. There is one question # 24, where it is asking me write the address where I will stay. At present, I have not decided on address as I don't know stamping would be approved or not. So what do I need to write there. I presently stay in a different stay where I own a house.
Lawyers & experienced people pls. help out as soon as possible... I am running out of time...
Thanx In advance

Hi,
I did some search at the "Immigration and customs enforcement" website and got the below links that may help you. You can even call them to find out the answers you are looking for.
Hope everything works out for the kids. God bless.

What type of information will I need to visit a detainee in a detention facility?
A government-issued photo identification or other identification when photo identification is unavailable for religious reasons is required to visit a detention facility. However, you should contact the detention facility you plan to visit in order to find out what their policies and regulations are regarding visitation.

There is a change of status form available on USCIS website. It is called I-539:
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=94d12c1a6855d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D
Go through the instructions of this form. I followed the instructions in this form and sent every document they asked for. My wife also changed her status from F1 to H4. After you send everything, you will get a receipt in 2-3 weeks and approval notice will take ~3 months.
All the best.

Hello all:
Applied for 140 transfer TSC June 2007. Have not heard anything since, I mean absolutely nothing. Is this due to the backlog?? I am starting to get worried as I checked my status and all it says is, the received date and that when there is update they will let us know.
Did any of you apply 140 transfer in TSC around that time? Any news on those? Any case that it could've been lost?
Big question to the experts is, what do I do to make sure they are working on it and my application is in queue.
TIA!!
What do you mean by transfer. You can not transfer I140, you can only port the PD.

Guys any suggestions? How long does it take to produce the cards these days? I've seen many approvals where they get the cards within days. Pretty confused about this.

You would need to take an updated affidavit of support and you latest tax returns if you have filed for any dependents and they have been called for the interview also. Would be useful for you to take the I-140 approval with you. All your original certificates, including birth and marriage, employment letter, W-2's, medicals if the ones that you submitted have expired, you need to follow the list of documents as per the interview letter. If your spouse has been called for the interview you would need to take joint documents and photographs to show that it is a bona fide marriage.

Hello All,
I am in a very sticky situation, my labor is pending @ PBEC with priority date of Jan'2004, which is Non-RIR and filed under EB3 category, based on which I have been getting incremental extensions of H1B (I am already in my 9th year by now). At present I am in the process of changing my filing type to RIR from TR and I was hoping to change the category too from EB3 to EB2, but my employers did not support me since they cannot pay the prevailing wage. I know I can still switch jobs, provided I transfer my H1B (which is valid till Jan�2008) and the new company files my GC immediately, so my questions to fellow victims of PBEC is
� How can I retain my old priority date?,
� Does the job descriptions filed with old labor have to match with job descriptions filed in PERM?
� It will be very tough, since I have almost 12+ yrs of exp in the industry, but my present employer is taking advantage of my situation and he is paying me peanuts, just because he does not want to pay me more, they have filed the papers as EB3. So while filing labor under EB2, can I still maintain my old priority date.
Please guys/gals help me out, I am not sure what to do, since I have already spent almost 3K$ on my GC and If I will be stuck with my employer at such low salary after my labor & I140 gets approved because of the retrogression it will be disaster. So I was thinking it would be better to be stuck with employer, who at least pays me decently and if I can retain my old dates it will awesome.
Regards,
CJG

Can anyone tell me after my 6th year of H1 i have a 3 year extension of h1 visa, can i go to india and come back on that visa or do i need to have AP. I got my 140 approved and i got my 485 receipt notices.
you can use the visa, need not use AP if you dont want to. If you have a visa stamping already, using the H1 visa is the preferred way to return:
- you get an I-94 valid for 3 more years (with AP you get one for just one year, which is a bit weird)
- using AP atleast sometimes pushes you into secondary inspection which is another hour spent with the customs and border patrol folks. While they are typically nice and friendly, I personally hate being stuck in that no-mans land at the airport.
Only advantage of AP is if your GC is approved while you are abroad, you are supposed to return on AP as your H1 status would have ended. in practice people have re-entered on H1 in such cases and its been ok. Depending on your PD this may not may not be a concern
