This is a crying shame. My friend Paul Parsons, an excellent immigration lawyer in Austin, shared this exchange with me last night: From: Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison [mailto:senator@hutchison.senate.gov] Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2010 5:50 PM To: Paul Parsons Subject: Constituent Response From Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison Dear Friend: Thank you for contacting me regarding S. 3992, the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act. I welcome your thoughts and comments. On November 30, 2010, Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) introduced this bill, which would allow for a 10-year conditional non-immigrant visa that would lead to eventual citizenship. Once they...

Hello All,
My checks got deposited on Friday and when I checked my wife's I 485 status with the LIN # on the back of the check, it said that the finger printing fee was rejected and that the case is now in suspense.
It said that I have to submit a new fee and that the case will be resumed again.
Do you know why this happened. My bank statement says that the finger printing check for her got deposited.
So if there is a mistake in the check, would they still deposit it ? And would her EAD application get processed even if the finger printing fee is wrong ?
Did this happen for anyone ?

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...

Since the priority dates advanced during the month of June, has anyone received approvals on their 485.

I could not find any discussion related to this issue and hence started this thread. I apologize if I have started a duplicate thread.

Hi Experts,
My wife is on H4 visa and has started her MS in CS in Jan. She applied for her change of status to F1 visa on 15 th feb. As of today (17th March), her approval notice hasnt come and her H4 is expiring on 31st March. I am not even able to follow her case online on USCIS coz her return recipt number is not updated at all. This is quite common I have heard.
My question is, should we also apply for her H4 extension before 31st of this month so that in case her approval for F1 does not come before her H4 expires and in worst case it gets rejects, she still wont be out of status coz her H4 renewal application is in place or am i just being too paranoid and should just wait for her F1 to come??
Thanks.

As per my knowledge, You will be out of status if you didn't your H1B approval.
So you should try alternative things, like moving on to F1 or H4 dependent Visa.
If you have EAD you should not worry at all.
About USCIS, sometimes it won't get updated. One of my cousin's H1B was canelled and compant got confirmation mail, But still his status shown as active from past 1 year. Make sure with your Employer (ABC/initial company who has your h1B upto Feb-2011) that they got letter from USCIS.
Thanks,
Vishwa.

I am currently studying in the US on an F visa and have managed to loose my passport a couple of months ago. The passport itself is replaced but I hesitated to renew the I-94 since it takes longer time than my duration of status and it is cheaper to just leave the country and send a mail to USCIS later with proof of departure.
To the problem, I am changing status from F to A. Since the interview is not required I was able to obtain the new visa through mail. Now, I am currently in the US with a valid new visa but no I-94 which means I will be out of status two months after my F visa expires. Being close to the Mexican border my plan is to cross it and come back on the same day to officially get the A status and a new I-94. I will of course send photocopies of all the papers and stamps to USCIS to not fall out of status on the previous visa. Are there any legal problems doing this?

It's not official, but it sounds like the Obama Administration is getting ready to make some news. Secretary Clinton told CBS News today: �Well, we have, as you know, many Haitian Americans. Most are here legally. Some are not documented. And the Obama administration is taking steps to make sure that people are given some temporary status so that we don�t compound the problem that we face in Haiti.� That sounds like Temporary Protected Status or Deferred Enforced Departure.

10/05/2007: November 2007 Visa Bulletin
There has been no forward movement of the Employment cut-off dates for November. State Department explains that the reason for this is that it is still too early to see what impact the movement of the cut-off dates toward the end of FY-2007 may have on demand. Depending on the rate of demand being received from Citizenship and Immigration Services offices for adjustment of status cases, some forward movement of dates may be possible for December.

A few weeks ago, I posted a story written by one of our clients, a Registered Nurse from the Philippines employed by a hospital in the U.S., who was stopped and held by CBP officers as she and her family tried to drive north from their home in El Centro, California near the U.S.-Mexican border to Palm Springs to celebrate her husband's birthday. The entire family had pending applications for adjustment of status, but in a bizarre twist of fate, they were held by the CBP all day and threatened with criminal charges, incarceration and deportation. Here is the story...

Most of the shots given are booster shots. Two MMR shots?
Varicella needs to be taken twice at 1 month intervals, however most doctors sign and seal the package when you take the first varicella shot and then ask you to come back one month later and take the 2nd shot, if not, you can insist the doctor to do so.
Needed shots are MMR, TD and Varicella, all others are Age unappropriate for us(atleast the applicants and spouses).

The National Foundation for American Policy has put out a number of excellent reports on the state of American immigration and now they have two more. Family Immigration: The Long Wait to Immigrate Family immigration quotas are inadequate and result in separation and long waits for Americans, lawful permanent residents and close family members. Approximately 4 million people are waiting in family immigration backlogs, according to data obtained from the U.S. Department of State and Department of Homeland Security. The wait time for a U.S. citizen petitioning for a brother or sister from the Philippines exceeds 20 years. A U.S....

She will have to go out of country and get stamping for H4 if her spouse is maintaining H1.
Automatic validation does not happen..
I need help for my friend. My Friend's spouse on H4 started to work on EAD. She does not work (or if she gets laid off), will she automatically get her H4 status? If not, what does she need to do to get back on H4. Her husband is on H1.

As of April 15, 2010, approximately 13,600 H-1B cap (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html)-subject petitions had been filed. USCIS has approved 5,800 H-1B petitions for aliens with advanced degrees.
Many immigration lawyers are seeing a sharp decline in the interest in the H1B visa this year by potential employers and workers. Some are saying that the downturn in H1B applications this year could be as much as 60%. As a result of this decline, there are predictions that the quota will not be reached within the first few months of this year. Rather, many suspect that the bachelor's quota won't be reached until the middle of July, and that the master's quota won't be reached until later this June.
We shall see how the number will play out in the next few months.

Hi ,
I Am planning to apply for my 10th Year H-1B Extension with the same employer.
My last H-1B was in 2007. I looked on doleta.gov The Prevailing Wage
in 2007 for the same job and same location as I am right now at
Level 3 was 57000.00, Now in 2010 it is 76000.
I talked to my Employer about this, he says he cannot raise my salary that much.
My Question is
1. When I applied for Foreign Labor Cert On-line does the
Prevailing Wage has to be most recent even in case of H-1B Extension ?
2. Is is ok If I go to Level-2 Instead of Level-3, will it considered as
change in Employment ?
3. The Prevailing Wage for 2008 for the same job and same location
as I am right now at is 66000. Should I Try to Apply for labor
cert referencing 2008 Prevailing Wage. ?
4. What are my options ?
Thanks
