My wife and I are scheduled to go for fingerprinting this month. We have a year old son and obviously we are planning to take him with us as well. Do I need to take any form of ID / birth certificate of my son (obviously he is not to be fingerprinted) but not sure what the rules are with respect to carrying infants for the interview. Anyone who has fingerprinted in a similar situation?
We took our 17 month old daughter with us. You should not have a problem with that.
BTW, The only problem we had was that our daughter was scared of the tough looking security guy and she started crying as soon as she saw him and we had a hard time consoling her :)

Me and my wife are July 2007 filers. We applied for Ead renwal.
My wife started her own business and opened a LLC.
Which means she is using her EAD. But how does the USCIS know that she is using her EAD.
My question is when she aplied for the business license , she has given her SSN everywhere but how does the agencies know that this particular person is using EAD
Pls let me know
thanks
AFAIK they dont know unless USCIS issues an RFE for tax returns. What was her status before she filed her 485?
Also why are you concerned whether they know or not?

Hi
I am going to apply for i-485,
i have birth certificate which is taken in 2005 but I was born in 1974
some of my friends are saying...as you are born in 1974 and as your
birth certificate was taken in yr 2005, it might cause problems (ins poseses query)
to get the green card.
Is it right?
They are saying me to get Affidivits + non availability certificate now.
will it be a problem if I put my birth certificate....while applying for 485
thanks

My advise is to get a Non-availability of birth certificate because an RFE is the last thing you wanna see. My wife tried Allied Legal, India to get Non-availability of birth certificate for her parents. you can try them. They are the immigration attorneys in USA.

My employer had applied 485 based on EB2. I have the approved ETA case number of the labor certificate and occupation code. My 140 is also approved. I have a US masters degree. I want to move on to a new company which has a minimum requirement of BS + 5 years (which will come under EB2).
But I am not sure if he applied my labor as MS only or equivalent. He is not willing to reveal those details. Can you please tell is there a way I can find that out from the ETA case number?
Thank you all!

Hello,
Here's my situation. I have an approved I-140 (EB2), my I-485 has been pending for more than an year. Due to recent lay-offs, I will have to change my employer through an H-1B transfer. My wife was on H-4. However, just this year she got an H-1B approval with consular processing since when we applied for her H-1b this year, she was not in US.
Now 2 weeks back, her employer applied for her COS through regular processing. I assume this takes about 3-4 months.
My question is - now that I am doing my H-1B transfer to another employer, do I have to worry about my wife's H-4 extension as well, or just leave that as it is, as her application for COS to H-1B is pending with USCIS.
Please advise.
Thanks

There is a story in the Oct 6 Wall Street Journal on high skilled immigration reform. If anyone has a subscription to that, pl. post for the benefit of members...
OpinionJournal's Political Diary
Who leaked the Foley emails and why?; industries seeking more high-skill immigrants pin their hopes on Congress's lame duck session; new film debunks the hypocrisy of anti-development greenies. (Click to Subscribe)
2:30 p.m. EDT
http://www.opinionjournal.com/
=======
Seperately, the Economist has a 15-page report on the "Global Hunt for Talent". It specifically highlights how restrictive immigration quotas for skilled workers are hurting US competitiveness and how other western nations are racheting up their efforts to lure skilled foreigners.
http://www.economist.com/surveys/displaystory.cfm?story_id=7961938
Here are some excerpts
Most governments are easing restrictions on the entry of skilled workers. Some are going further and offering incentives. Germany has made it easier for skilled workers to get visas. Britain has offered more work permits for skilled migrants. France has introduced a “scientist visa”. Many countries are making it easier for foreign students to stay on after graduating. Canada and Australia have not only tilted their long-established points systems further towards the skilled, they have also introduced more incentives. Australia and New Zealand have created a ladder leading from universities to the workforce and then to permanent residence.
Two economists, Fr�d�ric Docquier and Hillel Rapoport, estimate that average emigration rates worldwide are 0.9% for the low-skilled, 1.6% for the medium-skilled and 5.5% for the high-skilled. These rates have been accelerating far faster for the high-skilled group than for the rest. Skilled immigrants accounted for more than half of all admissions in Australia, Canada and New Zealand in 2001. The global war for talent is likely to intensify. Most developed countries are already struggling to find enough doctors and teachers, and are wondering how they will manage when the baby-boomer generation retires. Developing countries, for their part, realise that they will not be able to plug into the global knowledge economy unless they give their people the freedom to move around.

Few things:
1. The inventory of Pending I485 is not reliable.
2. If they approve all pending EB2 it means they have to move the PD forward and as they move the PD, new applications will be filed. There are thousands of EB2 labor approved and they are waiting to file I-485
3. Even if there is any spillover to EB3, nobody knows how USCIS will give those spillover number, will they go to EB3-ROW first or they will go as per the PD of Individuals regardless of Country of Origin.

Thanks fromnaija for quick reply..
I'll not stop my employer ( company 'A' ) to file H4 extension for her cause if her H1 thru company 'B' is not approved, my wife will be out of status...
Based on you reply,
all I can do is to request my employer to file H4 extn ASAP to avoid overlap with H1 filing...
If it cannot be done,
then I should pray that her H4 extension gets approved first......

My 485 (based on NIW) is pending. Based on the current bulletin, it could take years to approve my case. I currently work in the US using H1 visa. But I may need to travel outside the US for 1 year or even longer for business reason. Is there any way that I can not abadon my 485 pending status? Thanks!

Hi,
A friend of mine who's in India right now has been offered a job by two different employers here in the US. Both of those employers want to file for her H1B.
From her perspective it makes sense to let both the employers apply for her H1 coz that increases her chances of getting at least one approved. However, reading a bunch of FAQs online it seems that it'd be illegal for her to let both the employers apply for her H1B.
Is that correct? Does anyone have any insights?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am relocating to a different city and my current employer, who started my Green Card process, is ready to offer me job as a consultant. This would be a tele-commuting / remote position. I would be paid on an hourly basis -- 40 hours per week.
I am currently on H1B visa, but also have a valid EAD.
Would accepting this offer be ok for my ongoing green card process? Any ideas on how I can approach this offer? Or would I be better off looking for a another permanent position with some other company.
Would you please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!

I had a opt which expired on the 9th. of november and on june 08 i applied to start green card process with help of a lawyer.I have a master degrees from the US and my lawyer told me that i did not need to apply for a H1 visa or a work permit and could directly go for green card. we started the process in june 08 and I applied to eta 9089 on september 08 and could not get any reply back for almost 5 months. My lawyer tells me that it is normal to not get an answer for so long even thought I think we had to get an answer in 3 to 4 weeks after september. Now, my lawyer suggests me to go back to my country as my status will be put of satatus and I could continue my green card process from back home.
I would like to know if my lawyer is telling me the truth or my lawyer made any mistake..
I need help!!!

I already had my meeting for permanent residency and it remains pending until I submit to them a more detailed version (the long form) of my birth certificate. They did have my original but it was not the one they wanted and I was unaware of this until the end of my meeting. I have been given a deadline and although I have applied for the certificate that the US immigration wants, it has not yet been delivered. The hold up has not been with me but with the government offices that process the certificates so there has been nothing I could do. The deadline is fast approaching - I'm concerned that they will toss out my whole claim (as was indicated on the notification they gave me) if I don't get it to them on time. Will they allow me and extension on the time? I am not working through a lawyer. Thank you.

For those worried about not being able to live in the UK, I say "Don't worry, you are not missing a great deal".
I have lived & worked in UK for a couple of years many years back. Like most of my acquaintances at that time I didn't (want to) live there long. Most of my friends left for US, I returned to India. And then to US.
Life is US has its problems, the immigration backlog is one of them. But it is really a walk in the park compared to that in Britain. UK is one of the most racist society I have ever seen. There is racism in all countries (even in India, we call it Casteism) but no where as overt as in UK. In UK, the work culture isn't all that great, life is boring and the weather sucks. No wonder a recent investigation by BBC reported that 7 out of 10 Britons now prefer to live outside UK mainly because it's high cost of living, lack of livable space and for little more sunshine. And that number is growing every year. In % terms, that's the highest number and in absolute terms it is the 3rd highest expat population of any country, only India & China ranks higher. Britons now prefer the sunny & more livable places such as Spain (culture), Australia (language) and Florida (proximity).
When I left UK, it was with relief. Now when I visit UK on work or enroute to other countries, I feel sorry for the folks back there. I would any day prefer living in India - if not in US - than living in UK.

I'm in a similar boat......
You can file after April 10 (six months to October 10), correct?
Are you planning to get your visa stamped while your are in India? The earliest date to appear for visa stamping is 90 days before the visa start date. I dont know if this rule is very strict or applicable in this case.

Folks,
Is there a time limit to transfer a H1-B visa ? If the previous company revokes the H1-B visa how long do we have or is the H1-B canceled at that point ? Please let me know at your earliest.
