No active members.
I had 3 of my co-workers in IV and they are no longer here. What ever i did before for IV is with the help of the university students and most of them i know left after their graduation or ready to leave in the next few months.
As always there are other members who are in IV and they do not want to participate in the IV activities. All they want is to get the information from IV forums.

Today I got CODE 1 FP notice, is this a positive sign?
I requested(May 02nd) USCIS to approve my case using "Cross-Chargeability", since my wife was born in non-retro country. But from June 01st, my PD (India) also becomes current.

The Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) provides for the admission of different classes of nonimmigrants who are foreign nationals seeking temporary admission to the United States. The purpose of the nonimmigrant�s intended stay in the United States determines his or her proper nonimmigrant classification. Some classifications permit the nonimmigrant�s spouse and qualifying children to accompany the nonimmigrant to the United States or to join the nonimmigrant here. To qualify, a child must be unmarried and under the age of 21.
F-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(F) of the Act, are foreign students coming to the United States to pursue a full course of academic study in SEVP-approved schools. An F-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an F-1 student.
M-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(M) of the Act, are foreign nationals pursuing a full course of study at an SEVP-approved vocational or other recognized nonacademic institution (other than in language training programs) in the United States. An M-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an M-1 student.
SEVP is the DHS program that administers SEVIS. It ensures that government agencies have essential data related to nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors to preserve national security. SEVP provides approval and oversight to schools authorized to enroll F and M nonimmigrant students and gives guidance to both schools and students about the requirements for maintenance of their status.
ICE SEVP I-17 FAQs provide information for schools about SEVP certification, including background on SEVP and SEVIS, SEVP certification basics, an overview of the SEVP certification process, preparing the petition for SEVP certification, and preparing for a site visit.

Suppose I am employed in H-1b with employer �X� for position �A�. Employer �X� filed my Labor Certification and I-140 for a future position �B� and got both approved. Position �A� and position �B� have at least 50% different job duties.
I file my I-485 and it is pending for more than 180 days. I get a better offer from employer �Y�. Now, I want to transfer my H1-B to employer �Y� using AC21 portability rule. My job description with employer �Y� should be similar to position �A� or position �B�?

I have my 140 approved and my wife is on F1. How can I proceed with filing 485? (since the dates are current). I am thinking that my wife need to be on H4 before I file for 485.
Will appreciate if anyone has had similar experience and is willing to share.
Thanks!

If the exec is laid off, the dependent cannot continue working.
All beneficiaries of the petition must leave the US immediately.
I don't think there is any regulation that the employer needs to pay for relocation, but usually, they will provide you a one-way ticket back to your homecountry, but that will be the least of your worries.
Avoid working on L2 if you think the L1 sponsoring company is not trust-worthy or stable.
An L-1 work visa is issued to an executive of a company that has worked with his/her company outside of the USA for at least one year. Dependents receive L-2 visas and a spouse can apply for an EAD. Trouble is, if the exec is laid off, all of the dependant visas immediately expire and both the exec and his/her spouse must leave the USA!
Any ideas how to alleviate this issue? Getting a H1B visa is impractical since they are so scarce.
Also in this case, is the exec's employer liable for relocation expenses?

With just 14 days left, it is getting more and more clear tht Obama is going to be the president of the US for atleat next 4 yrs, unless some miracle change the race in coming days. And Projected Senate looks like, democrats will have 60 or almost there which is required to bypass a filibuster and Dems would be incresing their lead in House.
Dont we have to strt sending emails to Obama,Pelosi and Reid after Nov 4th.

Hey wp7t3,
How familiar are you with creating apps in Blend? If you are not very familiar, I would strongly suggest looking through the tutorials found in the Basics / Overview section: http://www.kirupa.com/windowsphone/index.htm
They should provide you with a basic understanding of how to add controls to your project, make some tweaks to them, etc.
Let me know if you still are stuck :)
Cheers,
Kirupa :ogre:

If this is true then some of the concurrent filers will try to upgrade them to PP.I will be surprised if they do that. But crazier things have happened.
I really doubt it, with all the current workload, USCIS can't take I-140 PP. That will further slow down the receipts.They have enough work for this year. Providing receipts, EAD, AP etc for more than 100,000 applicants.
Thanks to all hard working individuals at USCIS.

Hi
Here is my situation and looking for any previous experience and suggestion from experts.
I have my EAD valid for 2 years PD 05 EB2. I got a job from another company but vendor says I need to be in his payroll. Job wise everything is good. I want to join him on EAD.
Here are my concerns
1. Should file for AC21 or just keep quite till CIS sends a letter ?
2. If I ensure my new job and old job responsibilities are same, am I safe ?
Do you see any problems or advise me for anything.
Thanks

People are posting questions repeatedly without bothering to spend a few mintues searching previous threads for solutions.
No question is new on IV. Every question has already been answered multiple times, by several people and in great detail. Use the search feature and avoid redundancy. For example,
1. How to invoke Ac21?
2. H-1b vs. EAD
3. Impact of changing employers before 180 days
4. 485 before marriage
5. Everything else related to 485
If you have questions in any of the above areas, use the search feature. They have already been answered.

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/flag_CNMI.gifAll immigration law attorneys must deal with foreign countries, unique international legal issues, and some quaint interpretations of law. The lawyers at Los Angeles' Fong & Chun are no exception, and in fact, this recent change affects some of our clients who do business in or own businesses in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).
On 28 November 2008, "the United States" as defined for purposes of the Immigration & Nationality Act (INA) just got bigger, with the addition of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Although there are probably wrinkles I have not yet read in the treaty, this essentially puts the CNMI on the same footing as Puerto Rico. Here's the cute part:
Because the CNMI will become part of the "United States" as defined by �101(a)(38) of the INA, "residence or presence in the CNMI before 28 November 2009 shall NOT be considered residence or physical presence within the USA for INA purposes. Thus, on 29 November 2009, all persons physically present in the CNMI are considered "to be present in the United States without inspection, by operation of law."
Will these PWIs (present without inspection) be eligible to adjust status? Unclear? Are they working "abroad" for purposes of L visas? Yes, as it turns out. One thing is clear: Legal Permanent Residents (so-called "green" card holders) who wish to base a naturalization application based on physical presence in the CNMI will NOT be able to do so for pre-29 November 2009 periods of time. Isn't this esoterica fun? --jcf

It appears like USCIS is finally reviewing the option of issuing Multi-Year EAD's..
Please see Memo release from USCIS
Source :
http://www.immigration-law.com/
1.
Question: During a recent meeting, USCIS stated that it hoped this summer to introduce multi-year EADs for I-485 applicants whose cases were backlogged. Please provide more information about the types of applicants that would be eligible for such EADs?
2.
Response: A proposal is currently under review by USCIS program offices to issue a multi-year employment authorization document to those applicants affected by visa retrogression. If this proposal is adopted, it will apply to adjustment of status applicants.
3.
Question: Please explain what USCIS means in this context by the term �backlogged� � does it refer only to cases pending more than a certain number of months where applicants are filing for renewal EADs?
Response: USCIS is considering issuing multi-year EADs to those applicants affected by visa retrogression. Further information will be provided once a final decision is made.
4.
Question: Will I-485 applicants receive an initial EAD that is valid for more than one year? Does this apply to all I-485 applicants (family-based and employment-based)?
Response: Further information will be provided once a final decision is made
