The U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Office of Foreign Labor Certification, issued a Frequently Asked Questions on Permanent Labor Certifications, titled Round 12.
In that update they answer the employer point of contact questions that is often asked by employers. The answer is that the employer must designate as its point of contact an employee of the employer who is authorized to act on its behalf in labor certification matters pertaining to the specific job opportunity for which certification is sought.
The designated employee may not be the sponsored foreign worker. The employer point of contact will be contacted by the National Processing Center to verify whether the employer is authorizing the filing of the application and sponsoring the foreign worker named therein.
Therefore, an authorized employee�s name and contact information must be listed in Section D of the employer�s submitted ETA Form 9089. It is not acceptable, for example, to reenter the employer�s name listed in Section C of the ETA Form 9089 or provide a generic title such as �HR Manager.�
Moreover, as indicated on the ETA Form 9089 and accompanying instructions, such a person�s name and/or contact information, e.g., the phone number and email address, must be different from the attorney or agent name and/or contact information listed in Section E of the ETA Form 9089, unless the attorney or agent is an employee of the employer. This has been a subject of a few audits in recent years.

Tell me what you think.
--Is the image worth capturing, i.e., does it have enough photographic value to be worth the trouble?
--What would you do to improve composition?
--How would you crop it differently?
--Would you have done something different in post-processing?
--What is your honest opinion of the image?

I have a question on the receipt number. If we get the receipt number, does it mean "The application is accepted" (All the supporting documentation and fee are coorect)?
or
Are there any cases where receipt numbers is issued though the supporting documentation / fee is not correct?
If correct fee is not filed, application will be rejected.

Immigration Law from Houston Immigration Lawyer - Annie Banerjee Has Just Posted the Following:
The justice Department's suit to block the restrictive law in Arizona is heralded by everyone as an "immigration issue." Both Wall Street Journal and New York Times have huge headings under "Immigration Law." But the question is not about immigration law. It is about the fundamental human right to not be judged by the color of our skin.
The proponents of the bill, like Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce say that the bill "prohibits racial profiling." But I wonder if every individual is stopped and asked for their passports. The will cripple business in the State. Will everyone, ie white, black, brown, yellow, and whatever other color or look need to take their passports, birth certificates, etc to Arizona?
I naturalized into this country and is in the highest tax bracket. I work and pay taxes. Yet I am brown and have an accent. As a practitioner of immigration law, I know say for instance white Canadian who are here, in the US, working illegally, but are white and except for a slight "oot and aboot" has no other accent. Who will the Arizona police "catch"?
The lawsuit is also about separate state and federal rights. The Conservative Supreme Court will champion State rights, but it will remain to be seen whether they champion Separation of Powers. My guess is that their judgment will be clouded by the more emotional issue of immigration.

I applied for I 485 , AP and EAD during 07 July. I got a fp notice back in 2007 and I got another one two weeks ago. I went ahead and did my bio-metrics over the weekend at TSC Application Support Center.
Does this mean that somebody has looked into my file and pre adjudicated it? or is it a automated thing and does not mean anything?
Please advice!

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it will begin accepting H-1B petitions (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) subject to the fiscal year (FY) 2011 cap on April 1, 2010. Cases will be considered accepted on the date that USCIS takes possession of a properly filed petition with the correct fee; not the date that the petition is postmarked.
The fiscal year cap (numerical limitation on H-1B petitions (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html)) for FY 2011 is 65,000. Additionally, the first 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of individuals who have earned a U.S. master�s degree or higher are exempt from the H-1B cap.
USCIS will monitor the number of petitions received and will notify the public of the date on which USCIS received the necessary number of petitions to meet the H-1B cap. If needed, USCIS will randomly select the number of petitions required to reach the numerical limit from the petitions received on the final receipt date. USCIS will reject cap-subject petitions that are not selected, as well as those received after the final receipt date.
We recommend employers to hurry up and get all the necessary documents in order to meet the April 1, 2010 deadline.

Hi SandeR2!
Your first two entries are a bit too small, but I can still add them up as an entry. For your other entries, some of them are (as you mention in the descriptions) photos that you took and vectorized. Unfortunately, those will not qualify, for the goal is for you to draw manually without converting an existing photo.
To answer your question, your first two entries and the this one (http://kwijl.deviantart.com/art/MyBobblehead-64787112) seem to qualify!
Thanks,
Kirupa :)

Hi,
I am in the process of moving between jobs. The old job is a teaching job in a university and the new one is a research position in a non-profit think tank. So there is no H1B quota issue for both jobs.
The H1B for the old job won't expire unit next year. I have received the H1B for the new job. The start date for the new H1B is Sept. 1st.
My question is: Can I start my new job before Sept. 1st? I understand that for H1B transfer, one can start the new job once the application receipt from USCIS is received. But in my case, I have already got the new H1B and the start date on that is Sept 1st.
Thanks for your help.

No, you cannot work for the new employer till Sep 1st as it seems the H1 was filed with a requested start date of Sep 1st and you already got the approval notice.

Hello,
Has anyone used ICE MILLER as their legal counsel (immigration attorneys)?
I am planning to use AC-21 provisions to change jobs. My new employer is going to use ICE MILLER in Indianapolis to process my H1-B transfer.
I was wondering if anyone could share his/her experience with their staff and general suggestions. I would like to use them for any RFEs or filing any AC-21related documents.
Thanks in advance.

I hear that any transfer of a visa to a different one, in your case from L1 to H1 need to go back to your home country for stamping. Please consult an immigration laywer for more details.

Few friends of my whose PD were in 2003 had got their GC no matter the current opening is for Jul2001, since you have already applied for ur I-485, I think it would be better for you to wait & watch for some more time and join company B on EAD with contract to hire position.
Or else you can start ur EB2 processing also through Company B and then later I think there is a way to make us of PD of EB3 when filling for ur I485.

No need for exp certificate in applying for H1.
At embassy/consulate, for visa stamping, you should keep it as they may like to verify. It is not mandatory but good to have.

At a recent AILA Conference, Michael Ayetes (USCIS Associate Director, Operations) announced, that during the months of July - August 2007, USCIS had received approximately 800,000 employment based adjustment applications (I-485s): 40,000 concurrently filed with I-140 petitions, 320,000 stand alone applications, and 400,000 dependent applications.
Of the 140,000 annual employment-based immigrant visas available, second and third preference categories are allocated 57.2%. If most of the employment based cases filed in July-August 2007 were second and third preferences, it could take approximately ten years of allocation to complete all these cases.
Although USCIS has posted on its website that I-485 cases received on or before August 9, 2007 have been entered into the system, a number of attorneys have not yet received receipt notices for cases filed at the end of June and July 2007. Moreover, some cases initially filed in Nebraska and transferred to Texas have now been forwarded to the Vermont or California Service Centers for faster processing of receipts.
USCIS is making every effort to process EAD applications within 90 days of receipt. The processing of Advance Parole applications may be delayed due to the number of cases filed.
A Biometrics notice will be issued even if a visa number is not available at the time.

Hi,
I am in the following situation.
1. I am going to complete my 6yrs of stay ( L1 period + H1 period) in USA by Dec 2008 (after adding my vacation time in India).
2. I got H1 valid till June 2010 and got stamped on passport that valid till June 2010.
( USCIS approved H1 for me till 2010 eventhou I complete 6yrs by end of 2008)
3. My LC was electronically filed in September 2007 in EB2 category in Chicago DOL. Got Audit in October 2007 on Business Necessity ground and was replied within due date.
4. After several months of waiting (Audit response was accepted), it was denied on the following reason. "The internal job posting was not as per the DOL regulations".
5. My Lawyer said, the notice that was submitted was in the proper format-the exact format specified by the regulations that applied for reconsideration
He also mentioned that, he filed LC for other candidates with same job posting and got approval on their cases.
6. Now, Atlanta is processing all permanent Labors. As there is a huge back log at Atlanta processing center, My lawyer suggested to apply a new application rather waiting on this reply.
7. we need wait another 2 months ( for job ads and wait for response ) before even we can apply for new LC. even we apply some time in September 2008. I should get an approval immediately (as I am going to complete 6 yrs) otherwise I will be in trouble.
Given the scenario, what are my options as I am on time crunch.....?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
