A friend told me about the E category visa for Australian nationals. Is this true?
According to him, if you become an Australian national, you can use the E-visa.
Has anyone migrated to Australia and returned to US successfully on a E-visa?
Has anyone also applied successfully for a green card on a E-visa?
How long does it take to get Australian nationality?
I think you can apply as Australina national but your priority date is dependent upon your birth country not the country of acquired citizenship. I have a friend who is an Australian citizen (born in India) and is stuck in retrogression.

While no doubt, getting PERM approved is difficult at this time, it's not impossible (I have a few close friends who got them approved recently in EB2 though they had to wait a long time for it) and giving it a shot is well worth it if things work out in OPs favor.
I think ur friends PERM got approved becuase they filed before this economic depression. meaning, when the recruitments efforts were made for your friends case there is not much unemployment and might not have received any resumes. And I believe DOL check when the labor filed.. not current time.. while approving or denying it. So as some one mentioned now its not the case.

Folks i got a LUD on my AP 7 days back and again LUD 5 days back. But the status didn't change nor i get any letter of so far.
Does this means i'm on my way to a RFE :) If they send RFE does that gets reflected on the Online Status ??
Thanks much!
Online status would change if you have a RFE on your AP(as matter of fact for all forms)... Normally it says "A notice was sent asking for additional evidence"

11) is it possible to switch the GC processing to "future employment", although the Labor/I-140 were approved with the understanding that I was to continue working for the same employer?
Yes. GC is always for future employment.
12) is the H1 visa/Priority Date of approved labor/I-140 carried over when the individual changes citizenship - from Indian to Canadian?
Changing citizenship does not affect how Priority Dates are recaptured.
13) when do the dependents' citizenship come into the picture in the GC process? If I continue to be an Indian citizen but my spouse becomes a Canadian citizen, will my approved Labor/I-140 be affected in any way?
It is country-of-birth that matters. if your spouse is born in another country that is not subject to PD backlog, you may apply your I-485 to your spouse�s country of birth.

Hello,
Yes, as my PD is Feb 2005, this implies that the case has been pre-adjudicated as of now pending new finger prints.
My case was originally at NSC, was then send to MSC (National Benefits Center) and then was sent to local USCIS office in San Francisco where I went for an interview and then had this request for documents. The processing dates for San Francisco field office as of now for I-485 are Aug 1, 2008. So, I'm assuming that they have cleared all the cases that reached them by 31 July 2008 and that NSC sent my case file to them by 31st July 2008.
The IO who interviewed me was different than the one who has worked on my case since.
Yes, thanks for the wishes...but in this process, nothing is certain till the physical receipt of the cards, right? :)
PS: As far as I know, fingerprints and medical records are the two documents that may expire...apart from the applicant! ;)

I am an EB3 India applicant with a PD of August 2001. Cant file I 485 due to retro so cant get AP or EAD for spouse. I am currently in 7th yr of H1 and will soon be applying for 3 yr extension for 8,9,10 th yr based on approved I 140.
I am also a Canadian PR and one option is to move to Canada. However one option which I have been researching seriously lately is to live in Windsor, Ontario and work in Detroit , Michigan.
Windsor and Detroit are both Urban areas and twin cities on each side of the border connected by bridge and a tunnel. From Windsor most of Detroit metro is only 1 hrs drive. Downtown Detroit is only half hr drive.
Here are some advantages to this.
1) You keep your H1 B visa, and US Salary.
2) You earn time towards maintaining your Canadian residency and even Canadian Citizenship.
3) You have best of both worlds. (US Salaries opportunities, Canadian healthcare/social benefits).
4) Spouse can work in Canada and keep H4 also.
5) Can continue GC process without loss of security.
6) Visit other cities in US. ie even if spouse /fly is in other city you can easily commute once a month etc.
7) Once you get GC you can always move back to US.
Disadvantages
1) Crossing border each day (normally not an issue but border gets busy on some days).
2) Paying Canadian income tax.
3) Only possible if you get transfer to Detroit or new job there.
4) If you own home etc or your wife is studying etc you may have to live separately for some time.
Has anyone done this or knows anyone who has done this ? In theory and on paper its a good idea. Apparently thousand of ppl (even non immigrants) do this both ways.
Any insights anyone can share ? This may be good option in many cases.
Thanks

but, Once I was stopped at the airport by a security agent while travelling within US and he asked me abouit my status. When I mentioned I am on Work Visa he asked me to show the passport and Visa, I was not carrying one. I showed him my DL, He was on call with someone for 20-30min and come back returned my DL and istructed to carry the passport whenever travelling.
Per law, all H1B papers (atleast LCA) should be kept where non-immigrants work. There is no clear law for non-immigrants to hold passport/visa/EAD always with them. They recommend always to keep with you. Further, consulates( when they issue visa), won't give any specific instruction to non-immigrants to carry passport/visa always with them. However, for immigrants (LPR) it is very clear that one MUST hold orginal GC always with them. It is rule/law. The welcome notice clearly shows. Although, many dont practice, it is still a rule. I heared a story when a guy pulled off he got big trouble, when he claimed he is a LPR; and does not carry the GC.

We see a lot of these articles every day praising illegal immigration. How about creating a google group with volunteers that will pick up such similar articels and post a rebuttal, either online or through another website?
The one we discussed yesterday was about how illegals contribute to the economy by paying $1.5 Billion in income tax for an estimated 15-20 million illegals.
This was estimated from the 2010 Census data.
We could initially post these rebuttals online on probably a section of the IV website and also send it to other news sites.
People who are good at parsing excel/MDB, csv sheets will be useful.
Most people are not aware of our issues and contributions to society.
Good idea.
What we need is:
1- A document about the economic impact legal immigrants are making (H1, L1, EAD etc). It should include estimates of Federal, state, SS tax and sales taxes. You can also include estimates how we can impact economy by buying houses. Use the research document used by another organization someone posted yesterday to understand how such documents are written. Get some number crunchers and people with good writing skills in your team. There was a google group created by GC_peshwa yesterday. I think this group could do such proactive work. Set your timelines and work on it. You can post updates of your group on the forum so that others know about it and can join if interested. Once you finish the document, it can be sent as a release and also sent to reporters and lawmakers.
2. This group can also work on your idea from the post by posting on other news sites.
I think these are the kind of action items our community must be doing proactively. What we see on forums and websites are people wasting time on trackers, useless discussions on anti H4, EB2EB3, Andhra, spillover fights, pulling each other down etc. Such shameful posts either shows that these people do not really care about greencard issue or are just plain ignorant. Very rarely do we see someone thinking beyond their own case and PD. This is the main reason in my opinion why everyone is suffering from backlogs. It is not the fault of USCIS or government or any one else. The reason is each one of us that thinks narrowly and has chosen to accept the problem rather than doing something about it. As IV members it is our responsibility to help make people aware and urge them to work together on something meaningful that would help the community.
Thanks for taking this initiative. Good luck. Let us know whenever you need help. Others that are interested should express interest on the thread and join the group.

Very rarely do we see someone thinking beyond their own case and PD. This is the main reason in my opinion why everyone is suffering from backlogs. It is not the fault of USCIS or government or any one else. The reason is each one of us that thinks narrowly and has chosen to accept the problem rather than doing something about it. As IV members it is our responsibility to help make people aware and urge them to work together on something meaningful that would help the community.
Thanks for taking this initiative. Good luck. Let us know whenever you need help. Others that are interested should express interest on the thread and join the group.

1. What is the use of a non-paying member?
-- probably when we need to send out the webfaxes.
What is lost if a non-paying member leaves?[/QUOTE]
a group of 8000 members always has more power than a group of 200 members..
I did not follow the I-485 filing debate; it was sickening. I made a one time contribution. I don't think I am included in the 220 count. I think there are very few members who have made a one time payment recently and are not included in 220.
I think, the count 220 includes only recurring payments that started this month. Some persons paid before this count started.
The only useful thing we can do is to work on contributions. It is hard to figure out reasons why persons are not paying. I think it will be useful if we guess all possible reasons and work on all of them.
We should not insult any non-paying member or anyone for that matter. I still want to know

Seems like there are few doctors around downtown NYC Jacob Javits Federal Immigration Building. Rates are reasonable as well.. Has anyone been to any of these places??

The words "unlawful misrepresentation" might be a big concern. Get in touch with an attorney asap. Either you gave a wrong answer in some document or your H1 filer did.

hmm..
looks like I might be able to claim my parents
they are here since july last week..so around 160 days this year and were here last year for 3 months, so one-thirs of that is 30
so have a total of 190 (which is more than 183)
Substantial Presence Test (http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/international/article/0,,id=96352,00.html)
Does this have an impct on the GC though ?
I mean, I see that is a prefectly legal thing to do but does USCIS have a problem with that....

Thanks for your input guys!
My lawyer (from the new company) is suggesting I go to the local airport to have it corrected. I plan to call there and see if they can handle it.
Else I plan to go once again to the local USCIS office and this time ask for a correction.

If you resign you will loose your PD and thus GC. The only option is leave of absence.
What school in France did you get into? ( just curious)
What are the chances of Continuing my GC processing, if I Submit my resignation by Nov 15... I am yet to receive my I-140 approval and my 485 was filed in July
thanks

You can get a 3 year extension as long as you have an approved I140.
