Let's resume our journey along the road where the arts intersect with America's dysfunctional immigration system. (Previous blog stops en route are posted here and here.) Two weeks ago, USCIS made news when it reportedly held up the approval of a visa petition for America's Got Talent judge, Piers Morgan, thus requiring Larry King to extend his term as CNN evening host until November. Today, we learn from The New York Times that a U.S. consular officer apparently caused the renowned German director Peter Stein to withdraw last July from a major Metropolitan Opera production of Boris Godunov, an operatic...

I filed I-131 for AP renewal around 10th August and received a Biometrics appointment notice for I-485 yesterday. Is there Fingerprinting required for AP? If yes, why is the Case Type on the notice I-485? Or is the FP notice for I-485 and it is just a coincidence that I have filed for AP renewal. My PD will be current next month...
There is no LUD on I-485 case...

My attorney sent the EAD application to Nebraska SC.
Earlier my 485/EAD/AP were all sent to Texas Center.
Does anyone know if this is fine .. sending the renewal papers to Nebraska?
I'm also trying to find out from my attorney why they were sent to NSC and not TSC
Thank you.

I applied H1-B for my wife who was not in US at the time of application. The H1-B was applied as an out-of-country option. This would mean that this will not be a change-of-status automatically from H-4 to H1B from 1st Oct as it usually happens. To get into H1-B status, she will have to get it stamped outside of US. It seems her application has been selected in the lottery as we received the receipt notice on May 8th.
My question is - As now she is in US - can I change the processing to say change-of-status from H4 to H1B instead? This would eliminate her going outside the US for stamping. Please respond. Thanks.

Hello gurus,
just wanted some help on filing for EAD (paper application) (self + spouse)
I will be mailing the docs (UPS) to this address:
USCIS
Nebraska Service Center
850 S. Street
Lincoln, NE 68508-1225
I hope this is the right address, we live in california, 2nd EAD, first EAD filed at Nebraska with the old fee. First time EAD was filed by the attorney, this time he is charging way too much.
Along with the application I am mailing the following docs:
1. check $340
2. passport pages
3. first EAD copy and receipt
4. 485 receipt
5. drivers license
6. I 94
7. copy of birth certificate
8. copy of marriage certificate
Does the check list cover everything or am I missing some thing. Please help gurus.

I entered usa in H4 visa in july 2008 , while my H1 was applied from india in april 2008 ,and H1 got approved . now my employer is forcing me to do COS(H4 to H1) or go to india for stamping because he can't hold my H1 in a approved state so long . due to current market condition and so many rejections i am afraid to go for COS . He is asking $2800 only for regular COS processing !!!! thats too high , he is going to file fresh H1 petition I129 along with COS I539 .
my question is
instead of applying fresh H1 petition i.e I129 , since my H1 is already in approved state so can i apply only I539 for changing my status ?

My I-94 and L1A visa expired on October of 2008. I received my I-797A notice of action and my extended I-94, which is valid until June of 2010. My HR manager said I should be ok as long as I don't leave the USA.
I need to travel outside of the United States for one week. Will I be able to re-enter the USA if I show the approved Petition I-129 with the new I-94 and the expired visa?
Or will I need to go to the consulate to get a new visa stamp extended to June 2010 to re-enter the USA?
I will appreciate your help.

I heard you can file Perm only if you are on H1 or other status and not on EAD (AOS Pending I485).
That is not true....
You certainly can file new PERM while on EAD. So go ahead and do EB3-EB2 porting...
Good Luck

My friend Dan Kowalski linked today to an article in the Detroit Free Press about Naji Chammout, a Lebanese native who has been waiting on his citizenship application to be approved for ten years years. That might surprise people when they learn that Chammout volunteered for the US Army in 2004 when he was a green card holder and served as a translator to top American military commanders in Iraq. He sold his Louisiana gas station for the chance to serve his adopted country and went to some of the most dangerous places in the war zone. US Army Brigadier...

I started to notice this back in 2006 when the immigration debate was heating up in Washington. I was getting those annoying email forwards and this time they were of the Lou Dobbsian anti-immigrant variety. The surprising thing to me was that most of them were coming from older family members or acquaintances in the senior citizen set. And since then I've noticed that when I do presentations for civic groups or have observed focus groups on immigration, the older attendees seem to be more hostile. Certainly when one looks at the typical anti-immigrant activist showing up at a FAIR...

Hi
I am on H1B visa and married to a mexican citizen for past 2 years. we both have been living in mexico for past 2 years ( i am working as an Expat). 4 years ago my wife was in US on a Tourist visa and attended community school to learn English. she left the country in 6 months but while re-entering she mentioned her going to school to the agent upon which they processed a expedited removal and put a 5 year ban. She will complete her 5 years in Feb 2012. We are going to have a baby soon and would like to move to US next year after her 5 years are complete. i want to apply for a H4 visa for my wife and my baby. Will her expedited removal cause a problem with H4 application? thanks in advance.

Anyone has any idea?
I have approved I140 (EB3, PD:Nov'04) from previous employer; after getting my MBA (Jun'06), I have changed the job and my job description has also changed. New employer will file the labor after 3 months (HR Policy)..I have good relations with previous employer, they are ready to file I485. Is it possible to file I485(previous employer), while I am working with new employer?
I am not sure but I came to know (not reliable source), that it is possible to file I485(previous employer) and during the interview, I can submit a support letter from the new employer. is this correct?
Requesting your help..so near...but so far!!!!!

The Congress So Far (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/04/AR2007080401272.html) An ugly finish to a rocky start, August 5, 2007
FORGET ABOUT November's bipartisan promises of civility and cooperation in Congress. At the time they seemed overly optimistic. Nonetheless, it is hard to believe that relations could have deteriorated so far so fast -- both between the new Democratic majority and congressional Republicans and between Democratic lawmakers and President Bush.
Thursday's late-night rumble on the House floor, when a vote was gaveled to what Democrats acknowledge was a premature close, epitomized the ugliness that has overtaken the entire legislative process. In the end, the 110th Congress headed for its August recess with civility in shreds and achievements sparse. Indeed, the only thing that might make August look pleasant is September, when lawmakers will return to resume the acrimonious debate over Iraq policy and confront the looming end of the fiscal year with spending bills unpassed and presidential vetoes in the offing.
There have been scraps of good news from the first seven months. Lawmakers managed to see two of their priorities become law: an increase in the minimum wage and passage of the recommendations of the Sept. 11 commission. Another major achievement, a lobbying and ethics reform bill that will make important changes in the way Washington does business, is awaiting Mr. Bush's signature. Both chambers passed versions of a measure to extend the health insurance program for children in low-income families.
But many other Democratic priorities -- and a big presidential one, immigration reform -- were snarled in the Senate. The 60-vote majority needed to overcome a filibuster proved to be as big an impediment for majority Democrats as the Democrats had made it when Republicans held power. The failure of immigration reform, of which there had been at least a hope of bipartisan achievement, was a particularly low note. Meanwhile, Democrats in both chambers chose to spend countless hours mired in a fruitless effort to compel an "end" to the war in Iraq.
One of the most disappointing recent developments has been the administration's apparent decision, in the aftermath of the immigration bill's failure, that there was not much to be gained from working with this Congress -- and something to gained by taking it on. This new belligerence has manifested itself in a blizzard of veto threats -- Democrats counted up 31 between May 1 and Aug. 1 -- the most regrettable of which involves the children's health insurance bill.
In the final hours before recess, it was hard to know which was more shameful: the administration's use of the looming vacation to bully Democrats into accepting its overbroad rewrite of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or Democrats' spinelessness in caving to this strong-arming.
On the House side, a major disappointment was the failure of Democrats to live up to their pledge to treat the new Republican minority better than Democrats were treated when Republicans held power. Democrats promised a new, more open House, with adequate time for members to digest complex legislation and ample opportunity for the minority to offer amendments on the floor; instead, they, too, often used the same hardball tactics to muscle through legislation that Republicans had employed. That might have been understandable in the Democrats' "first 100 hours" that the new Congress was in session, but it is unfortunate that it persisted until the recess. That's no way to do business, and Democrats know it.
