This might be little bit old, but I dont remember seeing a post on this. Employment-based immigrant visa fees almost doubled, Old fees $ 355, new fees $ 720 from July 13th. Does this mean USCIS will open the gates in Sept bulletin [to be released in August]?

If you go to the USCIS website (www.uscis.gov) you can download the EAD application and the list of documents that you are required to submit. My understanding is that the location where you file your EAD is dependent on the State where you live. The EAd application instructions include information on where to file depending on the State where you live.

I have one 485 filed through EB3 with priority date of June 2004. I have another labor and I140 filed through a differentr employer in March 2005. I140 for that is approved. But when I filed the 140 I did not get the priority date transferred to the new I 140. So the second 140 has a PD of March 2005 which is not current. Can I apply a second 485 by porting the PD of my earlier 140 and apply for 485 now? What document do I need to submit for porting the PD?
Thanks and appreciate your time.

My current AP expires on July 30, 2008. I am planning to apply for renewal in Jan or Feb 2008, which is 6 months prior to expiration. I understand that nowadays it takes more than 3 months for approval.
In case of emergency, Can I travel to India with my current AP while AP renewal petition is pending?.

Senator Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) must be rolling in his grave. The conservative Republican senator from Arizona ran for President in 1964 on a platform condemning "Big Government". As a kid, I read Goldwater's "Conscience of a Conservative" and came away with a strong conviction that America was founded on the principle of individual freedom, and that no matter what the perceived threat was, internal or external, American citizens should beware of "trusting the government" rather than upholding our rights as individuals. Today, the citizens of the State of Arizona are justifiably upset about the violence caused by Mexican drug cartels...

Wow! This act was so good. And I see 27 sponsors! What ever happened to it??? Maybe we should petition to get this introduced again, this was more like a real reform. It seems like Democrats supported it, but probably lost the fight with Republican congress at the time.

The Center for American Progress has released a report that urges an end to the "arbitrary restrictions" on H-1B visas and replacing the 65,000 quota with a market-based system where numbers rise in a strong economy and drop in a weak one. The report also recommends stronger enforcement mechanisms to prevent fraud and abuse.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD AFTERNOON GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html

The H-1B visa is, by far, the most sought-after temporary work visa in the United States for foreign-born, professional workers. The H-1B category requires sponsorship by a U.S. employer and is limited to specialty positions which generally require the candidates hold at least a bachelor�s degree or the equivalent in a relevant discipline. It now appears that the impact of the economy on H-1B usage will be felt for at least another year. The annual cap or quota for new H-1B visas is set by Congress at 65,000 new visas per year, not including the 20,000 H-1B visas available under...

It all depends if your I-140 has been filed and approved and the I-485 has been pending for 6 months+.
If your I-140 has been approved and six months have passed since the filing of the I-485 then you should have no problem working in the same/similar job capacity under AC21 provisions.
Having said that, I don't know what the USCIS would do nowadays given the really bad economy.
This is not a professional advice and you should consult a lawyer on your specific case.

conservative columnist and former Bush speechwriter David Frum would like to see three more concessions on the DREAM Act to get conservatives to agree to the bill - http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2010/12/middle-ground-on-dream.html: Here would be my three main suggestions: 1) Lower the age of entry into the US. Even the new versions of the law extend amnesty to people who entered the US up to age 16. That allows too many people who entered on their own impetus rather than as part of a family group � and too many people whose first language will never be English. I�d lower to 12, to...

Hi,
My parents are currently in the U.S. on their visitor Visa (B2) which has 10 yr validity running till 2014. Their visa was originally sponsored by my sister and brother in law. Now we would like to extend my parents current stay beyond the six months I94 and we want to file for an extension. However, the financial position of my sister has changed as she is out of a job now. Is it possible that we can show me (son) as a sponsor, showing my financial statements/pay stubs as proof of financial support? This might mean I am taking over sponsorship now though their 10 year visa was sponsored by my sister. Would this be a problem leading to rejection of extension, or worse, affecting the validity 10 year visa itself?
Please let me know. Appreciate your time. Thank you.

I have been denied US Student Visa thrice before. But that was about 10 years ago in 2001. I have only 2 stamps in my passport showing "application received" because third time was by mail and passport was not required to be sent.
I have to apply for UK DATV visa as am travelling to europe with family via UK. No stayover in UK though.. just 5 hours wait each way on same terminal to change planes.
In application for UK DATV visa, should I mention 2 refusals or all 3, since there are only 2 stamps of "application receipt" on passport? Can these refusals have any impact on my DATV visa? I have been living in the USA since and current have I485 pending with valid EAD and AP.
Any suggestions or experiences would be helpful please.

Read this else where, about I -140s being reopened and labor certification are being questioned. Is this true?
Yes, it is true that USCIS have reopened few cases wherever they have been suspecting of violations and frauds.

I have a few questions regarding my H1B and I-140 since I am planning to change my employer.
1) If I change my employer, can my old employer retain my I-140? If he retains my I-140 and in case if the GC dates become current can I switch back to my old employer along with H1 and get my GC through old employer? Will this situation involves complications?
2) After my H1B transfer is approved with new company, when can I go for H1b stamping? Can I go immediately or wait for 1 month or so, in order to run 2 pay checks with the new company?
3) I had my initial H1B visa stamped from Bahamas. Can I still go to US neighboring countries to get my H1B visa stamped since mine is H1B transfer/extension and not change of status or do I have to go to India?
4) If I have my H1B stamped with old employer, and later transfer my H1b, Will I be able to travel to India with H1B stamping from old employer or Do I need to again have my H1B stamped?
