You might want to be careful abt the Birth Certificate.
I have seen in many forums and even heard from a friend who sponsored his parents with the Original Certificate.
Hi,
I will be sponsoring US visitor's visa for my parents. They will be going to Kolkata consulate for visa interview. I believe my parents need to carry my Birth Certificate along with other documents for the interview. Do they need to carry my original birth certificate or copy of my birth certifcate is fine.
Thanks

graviyera,
Thank you so much for your quick reply. Your feedback helps.
Due to family reasons, my wife (H4) has to visit India, do you think even for H4 they will issue Admin processing. I work for a bank and have all the legal documents.
Any advise.

I meant to ask about a turks & caicos visa. It is a british overseas territory but doesn't seem to require a visa from anyone.
You may not need a visa to visit those British territories....but, you need a visa or AP or GC to enter US. Once you have gone there for visiting (or any other purpose), you have crossed the international border of US.

your wife is fine, with H1 transfer there is no need to file H4 transfer. She is not out of status.
If she had presented the new H1 approval she would have got I-94 based on that date. So just apply for her H4 extension now.
And no issues with filing I-485

I joined a new employer in May and also had applied for H1B transfer at that time. Now I have a very good offer from another firm but my first H1B transfer is still pending. The new offer is much more rewarding financially. Is it possible to apply for H1 B transfer to the new employer without jeopardizing my H1B status. Please note that I got laid off in April and I was in a hurry to get the new job then, it was also about just over a month when I applied for my H1B transfer since losing that job so I am kind of nervous about the results from USCIS.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions, friends!

Would going to Canada and re-entering without going for visa stamping count as lawful entry??
Or one has to go and get the visa stamped to qualify as lawful entry??
Also when you go to Canada and come back Without VISA stamping, he gets the same I-94 or different I-94??
Thanks.
You can re-enter from Canada with same I-94 and status as long as trip < 30 days.
Yes, it resets out of status clock.

What would be fee for the old folks who filed I-485 in June?
Use the new fee for EAD as June filers did not pay the new USCIS fee for 485 filing.

I live/work in california - and on the I-485 form it says the address is :
USCIS Nebraska Service Center
P.O. Box 87485
Lincoln, NE 68501-7485
but it also says in the first few lines in the form:
If you live in one of these states or territories, please read this notice to determine your filing location:
ALASKA, CALIFORNIA, IDAHO, IOWA, KANSAS, MARYLAND, MISSOURI, MONTANA, NEBRASKA, NEW MEXICO,OKLAHOMA, OREGON, TEXAS, AND WASHINGTON
AS PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AND REMAINS IN EFFECT - EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1, 2004DIRECT MAIL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PERSONS FILING FORM I-485
Also if I use fedex then it cant deliver to the PO Box..I am really confused..
If its possible to file at a local USCIS center its better because it can reach there faster- maybe even today?
Can someone please advise? Apologies if this has been covered already.

we are going through it right now.
planning to file g-28 only and not AC-21 letter.
Will wait for a RFE to send a AC-21 letter.
Are you self filling G-28 or doing through another lawyer?
Thanks
Thanks for the info.
Planning to thru another lawyer - only because I dont know how to do it on my own and dont want to take any chance. Someone earlier mentioned that if we do it on our own - we may not receive any acknowledgement but if we do it thru antoher lawyer they receive some sort of confirmation.
I am not sure if its true or the logic behind it but thought of going thru a lawyer - he is charging me for both G-28 and AC21 even though AC21 is not done now (which is ok with me).
If RFE does come at some point - do you know how much time we typically have to reply?

EAD 1: valid from Jan10 2005- Jan 9, 2006
on July 11, 2005 you applied for EAD 2
On July 29 , 2005 you got it approved. What will be EAD 2 's start date? 30 July , 2005 or Jan10, 2006?
If 30 July 2005, then basically you loose 6 months of time, that means you are getting EAD of 6 months duration.

Delaware Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The EB-5 Immigrant Investors Program is recently extended to September 30, 2012. The statutory requiments of the EB-5 visa are burdensom. Approximately only about 1,000 people a year have immigrated in this category -- just one-tenth of the visa available.
For the regular program, the enterprise must (1) be one in which the person has invested at least $1 million (or at least $500,000 if investing in a targeted employment area), (2) benefit the U.S. economy and (3) create full-time employment for at least 10 U.S. workers.
A business can be used for employment-creation classification by more than one investor, provide that each investor has invested the required amount and the creation of 10 full-time jobs may be attributable to each investor.
The investor is required to enter the U.S. to engage in a new commercial enterprise, i.e., the investor must maintain more than a purely passive role in the new enterprise, and he or she must either be involved in the day-to-day managerial control of the commercial enterprise or manage it through policy formulation.
USCIS does not require retention of employees until a reasonalbe time after conditional visa is issued. Normally, a comprehensive business plan supporting the need for 10 employees within the next two years is acceptable.
The procedure to apply begins with submitting initial evidence with an I-526 petition. If the I-526 petition is approved, the investor becomes a conditional resident for two years. After the two years, the investor has to file an I-829 to remove the condition. It must be accompanied by evidence that the individual has invested or was in the process of investing the required captial, and the investment has created 10 full-time jobs.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1142140030762969806-6519671685318254492?l=deimmigration.blogspot.com

Dear IV Members,
Plans for Next Call
As I draft this post, we are working on the specifics of organizing the next call. We intend to have the call next friday, 20 Oct 2006, and are awaiting confirmation. Please watch out for more information on the forums in the next couple of days.
Range of questions for the upcoming call
At this time, the list of questions has been frozen for the next call. The range of accepted questions is between 71 and 100. This post is being communicated so that members can plan to be present for any follow-up questions they may request the attorney in real-time
Questions not accepted by the attorney
Questions with the following IDs were not accepted by the attorney for the upcoming call: 87, 91, 95, 99
Why was my question not taken up?
The following is a list of probable reasons why certain questions may not have been accepted. This list, is of course, not exhaustive.
- too complicated for a call requiring further discussion or research
- lack of clarity in the law on specific situations
- incomplete
- too generic
- frivioulous
- no previous incidence that the attorney can draw upon without significant research(new situation)
Sending us your questions
We also request members to not send emails from corporate email accounts. It is IV's policy to refrain as much as possible from sending email to members that may constitute as spam.
While we do not want to spam you, there might be exceptional situations wherein we may need to alert you of last-minute changes, and corporate email accounts might consider such alerts(if at all, any) as spam and may hence be filtered.
Keep 'em coming
Lastly, do not let a rejected question deter you from sending in new questions. We encourage you to keep sending in your questions so that we can leverage the attorney's pro bono service.
Enhancing and streamlining the conf. call process
We realize that certain questions may be time-sensitive, and may no longer be relevant when we finalize on a conference call date. Please bear with us as we streamline the process and make our response times better.
Thank you

If spill over happens it will be applied based on the Priority date not based on the country quota
Few things:
3. Even if there is any spillover to EB3, nobody knows how USCIS will give those spillover number, will they go to EB3-ROW first or they will go as per the PD of Individuals regardless of Country of Origin.

Hi,
I am trying to renew my EAD/AP myself and wanted to check if I will be getting the EAD card and AP documents by mail to my address.
I am avoiding the lawyer, as he's charging unreasonable amount.
Question:
When self-filing, would I be getting the EAD/AP documents at my home address???
Thanks.

Congress.org - News : Why Bill Gates cares about immigration (http://www.congress.org/news/2010/05/24/why_bill_gates_cares_about_immigration)
Why Bill Gates cares about immigration
Foreign workers have a stake in fight to change laws.
Activists on both sides of the immigration debate tend to focus on the millions of illegal immigrants whose fate rests on whether Congress passed a law.
But foreigners here legally also have a stake in this fight.
The U.S. issues temporary worker visas, called H-1B after their official classification, to thousands of non-residents each year. Often, they hold college degrees and have technical skills.
Microsoft and other technology companies hire many workers this way. They often have to prove they can't hire skilled U.S. citizens to fill those jobs first.
Bill Gates wrote in the Washington Post several years back that there is an employment gap that H-1B visas help fill:
This issue has reached a crisis point. Computer science employment is growing by nearly 100,000 jobs annually. But at the same time studies show that there is a dramatic decline in the number of students graduating with computer science degrees.
The United States provides 65,000 temporary H-1B visas each year to make up this shortfall -- not nearly enough to fill open technical positions.
H-1B workers, who have united under grassroots groups like Immigration Voice , want more than just an increase in visas. They want the government to streamline the rules.
Currently, the workers have to apply for green cards through their employers, often a lengthy and cumbersome process. They can't switch jobs easily and sometimes have to reapply for a visa even if they move jobs within the same company. They have to leave the country every few years before they can reapply for a visa.
The workers can also apply for a spouse to come to the U.S., but their partners are not allowed to work under the H-4 status granted to them. The activists argue that those individuals represent a skilled base of workers who could contribute to the U.S. economy and help pay for household expenses.
Powerful corporations back the H-1 B workers in their demands, since it would make it easier for them to hire skilled workers. But groups like Numbers USA argue that those companies shouldn't hire non-residents at a time when many Americans are jobless.

Hello,
I am an F1 visa student and am marrying my sweetheart who is an American citizen. We are planning to pick up the marriage license tomorrow, in MA. I know one of the questions is "residence". Do I put my local residence (I've been here for about 6 years) or my foreign residence? I do not want to jeopardize my status.
Thanks
