    Best way to do is to get it from AAA. If you are AAA member then you will 8 photos free and you can add your spouse for very minimum.

    I got 16 photos for $14. They know exact specs of photos that we need.

    I am a AAA number, could you please let me know the details as to where to go to get the photographs etc??

    I would appreciate it.

    hello,
    Nothing is "forever." If you hire a good attorney, he/she can argue, that you did have immigrant intent in the past, but have abandoned it and will try to get you a visa. However, without a good lawyer, it may be very difficult to persuade a consular officer that you no longer wish to immigrate to the U.S. after entering here. Contact me via PM if you wish and I can get you in touch with attorney who can answer more questions of yours. Thanx.

    I do not have the approval notice used to obtain a visa to enter the country for the very first time in 2001.

    All attempts to obtain a copy of the I-797 from company/attorney have failed and so I have filed a I-824 for a duplicate. That will take a few months.

    I am wondering what will happen if USCIS issues a RFE on my I-485 asking for evidence of lawful presence all these years.

    I don't have all the I-94s either. I do have the visa stamp on my passport.


    Man,

    First of all change your title. It looks like you actually did get an RFE !
    Secondly, they do not ask for your status since first entry. They look for last entry.
    I've never seen any RFE like this.
    I know 200,000 people who do not have their past I-797s and/or I-94s, none of them is worried....

    If Immigration let you enter ona visa last time, alll your previous sins are forgotten!

    Chill

    And please change the title

    For a change, your employer sounds like a big time Joker.. ask him/her to take a break and be a joker on the road..

    First and far most.. If your employer is really sending a cancellation letter to USCIS for your H1, he is trying to rub his own Ya$$.. the ultimate loser is not YOU, but He/She and his company.. No employer with brain will send an official cancellation letter..
    On the other hand, you are still on H4 status and directly getting on to EAD, so, you never used the so called H1, which means, if he messes up with you, you will be intact.
    Also your employer can not do anything for your husband as well for his 485 processing etc, again at 485 stage, your hubb's employer dont need to do anything other then your hubb is on payroll for 180 days from the receipt date of 485.

    In a genral when your employer contacts you again, tell him to have fun in Honolulu :P no worries...

    Hi All,

    We took an infopass appointment at the Local USCIS office to get a temporary proof of our permanent residency status. Can anyone suggest us what documents to show ?
    As I understand we need to show passport , driver's license,485 approval notice, police report and I-90 application.

    Is there anything else that we need to show?

    Thank you all for your suggestions.

    Good point regarding export regulations. I dont have much idea in this scene.

    Not exactly correct. Once, he left the US for a long period of time (except vacation) the employer should remove him from US payroll and terminate the H1B. This is the very legal way. If employer want to receive employee's service outside the US, the employer should "outsource" the work to him. In this case, both the employee and employer must follow export-import rules between two countris and pay appropirate tax in both countries.

    After employee left the US, if employer continously keeps him in US payroll using his H1B authorization for work eligibility, and receives his service or work from abord; it is the violation of LCA work place. If USCIS knows that the employer will be in trouble.

    I am not a Lawyer, just advising based on my knowledge / experience:

    You can certainly change job (Since you have EAD, I am assuming here that you have approved I-140 and filed for I-485 for more than 180 days). AC-21 (its a law) allows you to port your job when you have approved I-140 and I-485 is filed for more than 180 days.

    The job has to be "same or similar" need not be same. The word "same or similar" is not defined in the law, but you can use O*Net classification. The O*Net classification is the code under which your labor petition was filed. Then use O*net website to see the proposed job you are looking at is similar to the O*Net classification your labor was filed for. Its little bit confusing how to use O*Net but if you Google AC-21 you will find enough literature / articles posted by lawyers. Better yet, one of the IV member have wrote whole blog on that (you would have to find that, as I don't remember).

    The new job don't need to be restricted within geographic area where your original labor was filed for (you can work anywhere in the USA).

    The new employer is not required to prove ability to pay.

    There is no upword salary restriction, but if the pay difference is significant then USCIS may take a look at it in detail just to verify that the new job falls within "same or similar" category.

    You will have to find a good lawyer (you can do yourself as well) to write AC-21 letter to USCIS. I have seen people suggesting that you don't have to do that, USCIS may never get that into your file. If they you don't send AC-21 letter or it never gets to your file, they will send you RFE to prove that you still have "same or similar" job offer. They may also send you NOID or deny your case, but you can file motion to reopen (obviously using a qualified attorney) and they will most probably approve your case.

    And finally, your existing employer can't revoke your approved I-140 (if its over 180 days).

    Hopefully this is helpful!

    Just curious! I think with the new job one can start EB2 Process and port the existing PD. right?

    The Orange County Register has an article about Immigration related policy making (CIR?) that is going on behind the scenes.

    http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/news/nationworld/article_1624369.php

    Agreed that this is no New York Times or Washington Post report, but hey some news is better than no news at all, don't you agree?

    Andy

    The text of the article:

    Kennedy says immigration bill will happen
    California's Assembly Speaker meets with veteran lawmaker as part of Washington lobbying trip.
    By DENA BUNIS
    The Orange County Register

    WASHINGTON Just because a comprehensive immigration bill has not yet been introduced in the Senate that doesn't mean the issue has gotten off the track, Sen. Edward Kennedy said today.

    The Massachusetts Democrat said bipartisan negotiations are continuing both among the members of the Judiciary Committee and with the White House. The veteran lawmaker has made the calculation that it's better to get as much agreement on the elements of what is likely to be a complex and controversial bill before it gets introduced than after.

    "It is the judgment of those who want the bill that the way we are following is the fastest way of getting the legislation,' said Kennedy. "Obviously we have to consider it on the floor in May or no later than June.''

    Kennedy spoke to reporters about the status of an immigration bill this afternoon after a meeting with California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nu�ez and Assembly Republican leader Mike Villines. More than 30 state lawmakers are spending three days in the nation's Capitol, lobbying federal officials on issues ranging from education to the environment to immigration.

    "We believe states like California are disproportionately affected by immigration since we have such a large population of undocumented in our state,'' said Nu�ez. "But we also believe these undocumented immigrants, whether they come here legally or not are a contributing factor to California's economy. We have hundreds of thousands of families that are looking forward to a comprehensive solution to immigration reform. "

    Villines attended the meeting with Kennedy but skipped the following news conference.

    "If is doesn't happen it isn't going to be for a lack of effort,'' said Nu�ez. The Assembly leader plans to meet today with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and he said he will make it clear that this is a top priority for state lawmakers.

    When asked, Pelosi has said she supports a comprehensive bill but it is not an issue she often mentions when enumerating her top goals. A bipartisan group of House members are working on their own immigration bill, which could be introduced as early as this week.

    That measure, as well as any bill Kennedy is a part of, will likely include increased border enforcement, a new guest worker program, and a computerized program to verify employment status and a path to legalization for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants here now.

    President Bush supports such a plan despite vocal opposition from members of his own party.

    Kennedy has spent months negotiating a broad overhaul bill with his partner thus far in this effort, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. But last week, after it became clear that there were still significant details the two could not agree on, Kennedy said he instead planned to bring back the bill that was voted out of the Judiciary Committee last year.

    Also complicating the deal making this year are separate talks among a group of GOP senators and the White House. Several of the Republican senators involved in the talks are known not to be willing to vote for a bill that includes a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

    Asked whether he is concerned about such a proposal, Kennedy indicated that such a bill wouldn't work.

    "If the constituency groups and the stakeholders are not interested in this then the legislation isn't worth the paper it's printed on,'' he said.

    Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., recently said she believes the best route to take may be to pass a bill that would affect the five million agricultural workers and do that as a first step towards a broader solution.

    But Nu�ez said he doesn't favor such an approach.

    Nu�ez said the labor needs of the inner cities in California and around the country wouldn't be taken care of if just agriculture is addressed.

    "If you take care of the ags piece I fear it will be a long time before you get comprehensive reform in the other areas,'' Nu�ez said. "Our hope obviously in California, is that we can solve this problem in its entirety and do it in one effort."

    #2 sorry about the tone. It was actually a copy paste from my email to a paid attorney.

    Can you help with my queries: 1) What kind of queries can we expect from the DOL ? 2) what questions should I ask the potential employer ?
    Please dont do this to all ppl waiting in the line.
    Yeah, even if you go ahead and do it, very small chance that this would be approved because of the tougher regulations these days...

    Gurus,

    I know most of you might be busy looking for the bill.

    Please post your exp with infopass in Dallas TX

    I had infopass appointment 2 days ago to enquiry about name check status. You stand on the line the security guy check your infopass appointment confirmation letter, and verifies the appointment time. if it is > 15 min. then he asks you to come 15 min. before. The receiptionist calls the next person in line. Takes the infopass appointment cfrm letter, and ask for what is the purpose of the appointment. Once she verifies it, If she gives you a token then you will go inside and talk to immigration officer.

    This should also act as an eyeopener for those people on H-1B who are just about now starting their GC process. Such people can forget getting a GC for the next 12-15 years.

    If you are young (in late 20s), you should reevaluate this whole idea of coming here on EB GC. It maynot be worth the wait and the suffering.

    ----------------------------------
    I think I will change my ID to "(Non)Eternal_Hope"

    The eternal optimist in me says that by the end of 2010, everyone who could file during July 07 will get their GC. This will happen due to CIR/STEM Exemption/Recapture combination. I hope my words come true!!!!

    Peace..

    I am also having same situation as 'TamilSelven's wife. But my H1 visa was expired in Sept 2009 and I didn't work on that. I am on H4 for now and got one offer from another employer.

    So my queries are :
    - will I get H1 again under COS?
    - If yes, how much time will it take to get H1 again?
    - Does this process will be like a new H1?
    - how much will it cost to my employer with attorney fees?

    Thank you.

    Meet

    Yes You can get new H1B.
    Time Depends on type of processing.....premium you should get within 2 weeks.
    H1B extension or Transfer or New one....whatever its all the same process. But called differently.
    Now H1B fees got hike.....may be around 5K I believe.
    Check for USCIS fee for I-129 on USCIS Home Page (http://www.uscis.gov) and add Education Evaluation, Attorney Fee, Fedex charges etc.

    Please ask your Employer for break up if you are paying for it.

    1. With the latest mess with DOS and USCIS, are we asking them too much by asking them to just accept the 485 applications and provide interim benefits and are ready to wait for the approval of the green card for 4 or 5 years?

    2. Do you think DOS and USCIS are pushing hard and churning money from the Legal immigrants who go by the law by increasing fees every year or 2?

    3. IS any politician considering any relief for the peoples who go by the book and pay taxes?

    4. Do u think becoming illegal rather than being legal provides some relief considering what ever has happend in the last decade?

    Hi there, First of all thanks for all active participants you are doing a great service.

    One of my friend has a unique situation. His wife and daughter ( both on GC and daughter is 10 years old) has to live outside US for long time due to her health situations. These are the things happened.

    1. First time she went to India and stayed there for almost 1 year ( but less than 1 year ) and both came into US with out any problems, but stayed in US for only 1 week to 10 days.
    2. Now both are still in India and its been approximately 1 year 10 months ( didn�t fine any extensions or anything like that).
    3. Now she got recovered completely and want to come back to US to join her husband, Can they both come back to country with out any problems? Does she need to file any documents to USCIS or in US consulate in India.

    Your responses would be much appreciated. Once again thanks for all your help.

    They need reentry permit. This page may be helpful:

    Hi Folks,
    I had applied for AOS,EAD and AP for me and my wife on July 2nd.
    I got my EAD, Finger Printing Notification, but my wife's application got returned on Aug 30th. I called USCIS after 3 months to find out status on her case and they said it was returned on Aug 30th which we haven't received so far. The reason for rejection was incorrect or missing check.:(
    So, can please any one tell me if i can re-apply her case even though i did not get her application back?
    Any information on this will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks a lot
    gc_dreamer_485

    Hi, I am in the same situation. Rejected on 9/11 and they said they mailed it on 9/19 haven't received the packet yet. Please keep me posted.

    FYI, you can open a FORMAL Investigation with USCIS if the mailing of rejection notice exceeds more than 30 days. Call USCIS and see what they have to say.

    It means you will be able to get your EAD in a few weeks, based on your ability to file for I-485. The real thing ... well it can take anywhere between 8-9 months to more than 3 years, depending on how quickly FBI completes your name check and how slow or fast the USCIS service center is.

    Does a current PD mean you're getting your GC in a few weeks or does it mean "we've started working on it, we'll let you know":)

    Thanks!
