That was suggested multiple times in the past; lobby for simple and neutral provisions at least to take the veterans out of this mess. However, IV prefers to "lobby" for bills which are already introduced in Congress. I thought that it doesn't make a lot of sense spend money and energy "lobbying" for a bill which already has such broad support anyway.
Could immi voice use the lobbying firm to intorduce a provision to recapture time lost during Backlog and retrogression ...at least may be 2-3 years if not 5 ....it will put us to get citizenship...when we were supposed to get it...plz....

Hi,
I have more than 10 years of IT experience. I work for an American company. They are going to file my green card but not in EB-2 ,in EB-3. When is ent an email to AVP requesting to file my green card in EB2, HR/Recruiting manager has sent the following email in response. I need your suggestions how to proceed on this.
Hello there. Thanks for the email and inquiry. The EB-2 classification is for individuals with Master's degrees or Bachelor's degrees plus five years of progressive experience. Not only does the employee need to possess these qualifications, but the employer must require them for the position. Thus, unless ****** [company name] can attest that it has only ever hired individuals with Master's degrees or Bachelor's degrees plus five years of progressive experience for the same or similar positions and that it will continue to do so indefinitely (and also explain why it is required), EB-2 will not be available for the position.
*********** [Employee name] is correct that the processing times are currently shorter for individuals in the EB-2 category (a two-year difference for Indian nationals). However, these processing times are always subject to change. ****** [company name] will be able to petition for H-1B status for *********** [Employee name] beyond the six-year maximum as long as it filed the labor certification 365 days before his H-1B status expires.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks.
Cordially,
********
If job position demands + 2 years experience (And it looks like the same), you application will be submitted under EB3. Now EB3 does not necessarily bad with comparision to EB2 as far as GC process is concerned. It all depends upon when you file and at how USCIS take processing approach in coming years. During the year 2004, 2005 lot many EB2 files were processed fast under OLD labor approval system and 485 processing system and now it seems that in coming months more number of EB3 files will be processed. So do the careful research about deciding the catgeory with keeping current 485 processing trend in mind. That to say if youhave liberty to convince the employer as per your need. If you do not have any option then it does not matter, employer will decide the category.

Mike Burrows, who has been in the United States legally since 1962, could be detained by immigration officials at any moment. The 51-year-old, who lives in Los Angeles, was ordered for deportation in 2003, making him one of many immigrants to enter a pathway of rigidly-structured immigration laws and processes that can force deportation for even longtime lawful immigrants.
As the Obama administration steps up immigration enforcement, immigrant rights groups say situations like Burrows' are far from rare. Unlike in criminal convictions, non-citizens facing immigration charges have no right to an attorney and can face double jeopardy. A person born in the United States convicted of a minor crime often pays a fine or performs community service. For those born elsewhere, the same offense can lead to a life turned upside down.
"I don't think there's this guy in Washington who is picking on me, but this is how the machine works," Burrows told HuffPost. "This is the way the machine would treat -- and does treat -- anybody in my situation."
Burrows said his path toward potential deportation began in 1978, when he was charged as an 18-year-old with a misdemeanor after police found a stolen eight-track in his car. A friend had stolen it, but "in a misguided act of loyalty" Burrows took the fall. He was given probation and a 365-day suspended sentence. Burrows completed his probation and never served time in jail.
Burrows had the misdemeanor expunged in 1983 and thought he was done with the incident. But in 1988, the Anti-Drug Abuse Act created a new classification for crimes of non-citizens, called "aggravated felonies." The term is somewhat of a misnomer: the crimes do not necessarily involve violence, nor are they necessarily felonies. They include a far broader range of crimes, ranging from certain theft offenses to rape and murder.
Burrows' 1978 misdemeanor would fit into the guidelines for aggravated felony, had it happened after 1988. Because he was given a 365-day suspended sentence, the misdemeanor would be considered an aggravated felony under the 1988 law.
The government does not release data about who it has deported on aggravated felony grounds, but the charges were used in at least 156,713 cases, some involving legal permanent residents, between 1997 and 2006, according to data obtained by Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.
Story continues below
Advertisement
In 2001, Burrows discovered that he was in deportation proceedings. He said ICE claimed to have sent him a final order of removal, but said he never received it, making it impossible for him to meet a 30-day deadline to appeal the order.
When he finally went before an immigration judge to appeal his case, Burrows said the judge seemed uninterested in the details of his case, instead focusing on the fact that he had missed the previous deadline. Burrows was given a final order of deportation in 2003.
Burrows said the deportation ruling is based on his 1978 misdemeanor conviction and that an immigration judge told him one way to avoid deportation would be to get one day of his 365-day suspension dropped, making it too short to be classified an aggravated felony. Burrows also has three other misdemeanor convictions from between 1998 and 2001, but said none qualify as aggravated felonies. One, which he explains on his blog, was for violating a restraining order filed against him by his then-wife while they were moving toward divorce. (He said he called the woman's mother and left a message on her answering machine.) In 1998, Burrows was arrested for driving under the influence, a misdemeanor, and in 2001 he received a misdemeanor for failing to pay a fine for a vehicle operation violation.
Burrows declined to sign a waiver allowing ICE to discuss the specifics of his case publicly, but the agency defended its actions in a statement. "Ultimately, it is up to the U.S. courts to weigh the facts in these cases and determine whether an alien has a legal basis to remain in the United States. ICE is then responsible for carrying out the courts' decisions."
Since 2001, Burrows has been fighting his deportation charge, appealing multiple times to no avail. His most recent petition to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to consider his case was dismissed in October.
Now, Burrows said he feels "depleted financially, mentally and spiritually." There are only a few options: ICE could put off his deportation and allow him to stay in the United States indefinitely, although they could detain him for deportation at any time. Immigration reform -- unlikely in the next two years with little Republican support -- could change laws that would classify Burrows' convictions as non-deportable.
His best chance to stay in the United States could be receiving a pardon from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R). Although he has not yet applied, Burrows has a petition from Change.org with about 850 signatures aimed at persuading the governor. He plans to file an application with the governor once 1,000 people have joined the petition. Schwarzenegger has issued pardons in six cases since becoming governor in his seven years in office, but none have been for immigrants facing deportation.
There is some precedent for pardons for legal immigrants, like Burrows, who are facing deportation for criminal convictions. In New York, Gov. David Paterson (D) announced in March that he will issue pardons on a case-by-case basis for legal permanent residents who had served time for their crimes and could demonstrate they are not a danger to society. Paterson has since stopped deportation for six people.
A spokeswoman for Schwarzenegger told HuffPost the governor "seriously considers each request on its own merit," but has no time frame for making a decision on pardon requests.
Burrows said he is starting to lose hope that he will be allowed to stay in the United States, where his children, mother and girlfriend -- all U.S. citizens -- live. He said he always felt American and would never consider moving back to his native Canada.
"I'm sitting here peeking out my window waiting for them to roll up like I'm a bank robber or something," Burrows told HuffPost. "It's not a very settling way to live. I'm getting to the point where I don't think I'm ever going to get due process."

They may just want to give them some important message... I think this is something internal and not applicable to general 485 filers.
if anybody is oh law firm client please clarify.
I guess they may be asking people whether to file the paper work or not.
It seems like USCIS is holding on to the file untill the matter is resolved.
I am not one of their client,I am just guessing the info

My wife renewed her license using I-797C in Austin, TX last week. She got her license renewed till 2016 and we are waiting for the physical card. The rules vary between DMV centers, the one we went first did not recognize the AOS and required an EAD card with atleast 6 months validity. The second one did not have any issues and no questions were asked after showing the I-797C. Try your luck with a different DMV.

I also have the same situtaion and the Qs is still unanswered.
The Situation is:
I want to switch from H1 to EAD on Aug 15 and H1 and I94 are expiring in Aug -31.
Now Qs is:
Do we need to go out of country and come back on AP in order to have new I-94 (which will now have date of AP expiration date) ?
Or we continue to stay on same I94 and let that expire on Aug-31 and keep working on EAD from Aug15?
Pl. advise

Insurance agencies are going to crumble given the new laws, talk abt covering visitors with pre existing conditions
In that case all visitors will get cheaper medical treatment just visiting America.
Govt is not the answer to all probs, although its the only in terms of GC though.
oh ya.... if this bill will crumble insurance companies then y is it that their stock is going up for last 3 days..... insurance companies got a sweet deal.... another 32 million customer..... & u r saying they r going broke by getting more business.... that's expensive....

Hi,
I am on H4 and my husband's company has files H1-B visa for me in 2007 quota. Will this file considered as H4 to H1 Change of Status case or fresh H1-B case?
And normally how long time its takes to get approval for H1-B? My company files H1-B for me in April so when (around) can I expect H1-B approval?
Because I am planning to visit Canada but somebody told me that if I am in US on H4 and H1-B is filed then I must not leave US till I get H1-B approval.
Please help me if you have answers of these questions.
Thanks
Talk to the attorney who applied for your H-1B.
My answers:
It will be a change of status case from H-4 to H-1B.
Approval might come around November 2006.
I do not see why you can not leave for Canada and come back. As long as you have a valid VISA, it should be fine.

yes employers with 50+ emp need to cover, however this comes into effect later.
For a good summary
Health care gains start soon — bigger ones later - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_health_care_overhaul)
In short, there is nothing for H1's or GC folks that have insurance either thru employer or on their own- Except that the insurance premiums are projected to rise further.
You dont have to worry abt buying insurance if you do not have it right now until 2014
