Yes that�s a good suggestion. We need more people than whose GC is stuck. One issue is motivating them. I was almost shocked to see the indifference of many immigrants � some of them who went through the same process very recently. I came here almost 10 years ago as a student and many of my friends got GC�s/citizenship (they had their own hassles but now its over). When I talk to them what is going on now � they simply express surprise over how/why I didn�t get it even now and forget it. But I don�t feel bad to remind them again to visit this site or something else and do something (sending faxes /talking to their employers / contributing money/ whatever they can). My point is � don�t expect an immediate action from any, even friends � especially if this does not affect them; but don�t let this discourage you. Engage them in a discussion � most of them already know the terminology like retrogession/140/485/labor etc � remind them their own process and how difficult it was and how finally there is a systematic effort to do something about it. I am sure at least some people will respond favorably.
There is so much momentum right now; if we miss this � we know the consequences.

I'll have a go at cloning out the twigs later, it looks a bit difficult but it could be fun trying.Cloning sometimes leaves weird patterns. I've had luck putting a loose selection around the cloned area with a big feathered edge, then applying a gaussian blur. It helps "clean up" my new background. The trick is to have a seemless blend between the cloned and the original untouched areas.

Basically, I think your labor can be re-appealed but it is a waste of time. It's better to work with your lawyer and get the job duties tick and tied with the paper filing. Nowadays there are lots of audit in the PERM system.

I believe you have to be in the US when your 140 is applied. Same goes for 485. Check with your lawyer. Once 140 or 485 is applied, you can travel outside.

Dear All,
I am leaving for India to get married in November. I haven't got my 485 receipt as yet nor have I got my H1-B transfer approval. I expedited my H1-B to premium processing and expect a reply soon.
I leave for India in the first week of November. Now what would happen if I get my finger printing appointment and I am in India?? Can i postpone it?
Thanks

Hi,
I have an approved H1B for teaching Maths, but I got an offer for teaching ESL (I am certified in both the subject). Am I allowed to teach ESL also? Is the visa subject specific?

Hi all
I have been trying to use the POJ method to reach an IO but looks like USCIS has shutdown that option. After entering the receipt number it simply reads out the online status message and does not provide any option to reach a CSR.
Looks like eccessive status calls have caused this.
Has anyone still been able to use the POJ method today and if yes can u pls post the details ??
Thanks

According to KPBS, A bill to strengthen the U.S.-Mexico border could be a mixed blessing for San Diego. That's because paying for more for border security will require a hike in H1B visas.
The H-1B is a non-immigrant visa in the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act, section 101(a)(15)(H). It allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. If a foreign worker in H-1B status quits or is dismissed from the sponsoring employer, the worker can apply for a change of status to another non-immigrant status, find another employer (subject to application for adjustment of status and/or change of visa), or must leave the US.
The regulations define a �specialty occupation� as requiring theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge in a field of human endeavor including, but not limited to, architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, biotechnology, medicine and health, education, law, accounting, business specialties, theology, and the arts, and requiring the attainment of a bachelor�s degree or its equivalent as a minimum (with the exception of fashion models, who must be "of distinguished merit and ability".) Likewise, the foreign worker must possess at least a bachelor�s degree or its equivalent and state licensure, if required to practice in that field.
Duane Roth, CEO of the biotech support group Connect, said that could make it more difficult for San Diego businesses to hire qualified workers. He said higher costs for H1B visas may also encourage more companies to outsource.
"A company may consider whether it's better to open a facility in a foreign country and hire the workers that are already there, versus the ability to bring some here to fill the opening jobs," said Roth.
He said the U.S. education system is not producing enough scientists and engineers to staff high-tech companies in San Diego.
I feel that another H1B fee hike will be a death blow to the possibility of retaining talented workers in the US and for small US companies to expand business.

Hi,
My H1 B is valid until 2010 (mar). But considering my entry/exit (I94) dates - I will be completing my 5 years in next 2 months.
My query:
1. Do I have time until 2009 (mar) for filing the Labor?
2. Can I file GC in the 6th year of H1 B, if yes what are the consequences?
Thanks in advance

Hi Friends,
I am a green card holder, becoming eligible for citizenship in April 2009. My fianc�e has been in the US for the past 2 plus years on F1. She completes her MS in December this year .We plan to visit our home country in August this year and get married. I thought this was a relatively uncomplicated case till I read in some forum recently that marriage to a permanent resident can be a barrier to being admitted to the U.S. in F-1 status. This is because such a marriage obliterates the "non-immigrant" intent required for F-1 entrants. This could very easily jeopardize her plan to re-enter in F-1 status.
Any thoughts or advice on this? Appreciate all the help.
Thanks a lot.

I have not done it recently for h1b ,but i did it for my parent visitor visa from india chennai consulate.
I think once you fill forms it is valid for 1 week. You can directly try to schedule appointment using the saved forms for 1 week. I observed that for vistor visa appointments they open every thrusday /friday night indian timings and they make dates avaialble for only one week of the following month. and i see they are being filled up in just one hour after they open. Same might be happening for H1bs schedules.
I'm trying to schedule an appointment for non-immigrant visa in August/September timeframe from last one week without any success. After filling the forms, and continuing further for checking the available dates, I get a message saying : " Interview appointments not currently available, please check back in 24 hours. "
I would really appreciate if you can educate me of what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks,
Ashish

Once again, I urge people to take discussions of individual cases to Immigration Portal.
See our posting guidelines (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/announcement.php?f=2) visible above the forum threads.
"Please note that the purpose of our forums is to discuss our campaign and agenda. We want to foster a positive, constructive, discussion about our cause. Solutions for individual cases and problems, debates on the benefits of living in different countries etc. are better addressed on forums like Immigration Portal.
Posts that denigrate members, potential members or even anti-immigrant groups are not welcome - such posts are against Immigration Voice principles."
When my paperwork was transferred from CSC to TSC I posted on Immigration Portal not IV. We need IV forums to focus on activism.
best,
Berkeleybee

Ok, to make things complex,
Here is my sample. I just have a TextBox and Label - both bound to a FriendsName Class which implements INotifyPropertyChanged
I have set the UpdateSourceTrigger to PropertyChanged and thus whenever I type something in the TextBox, my Label gets updated then and there.
Now, What I want to do is, I want to have a Button, say Update and when I click that , the data should update the source and thus result the change in the Label. So, its like, after I complete typing in the TextBox, click on the Update Button, the Label should not be updated with the value :D
Hope I am clear :(
I would be really happy if someone help me :)

Your mother can file a B-2 extension request on an I-539. She should not need to file an Affidavit of Support, just provide reasons why she wants to extend beyond the initial admission period. In my experience, CIS is very generous in granting extensions of visitor status. It my take a few months to get an approval. However, as the previous poster says, she can stay in the US while the extension is pending IF the extension is filed before her current status expires. Good luck.
