All,
I' am a new member and I recently read about IV group on samachar.com with regards to the flower campaign. Congratulations to all of them who could file thier I-140's and I-485's. Special thanks to all those who were involved in getting this resolution.
This is my first post and I would like to know if we can all get together and request DOS for accomodating all the pending applicants with BEC's during the October's Visa bulletin.
I know it sounds ridiculous but if you put the numbers together...currently there are around 25000 applications pending with BEC's and by Aug 17th those numbers might come down to 22,000. I' am not sure what would USCIS or DOS would gain in holding these 22000 applications back. May be 50,000 with dependents.
The best solution would be to have PD's of April'2005 for all EB categories in the month of October'07. If IV group could lobby for all the remaining applicants at BEC's, then it would be ideal for every one. Justice to all aspiring legal immigrants.
All of us can then focus our energies on other issues like Visa numbers, capturing unused visas, not counting dependents in the visa quota etc.
I hope everyone (those who have already submitted I-140's and I-485's) can support us on this issue and this should be on top of all the priorities.
Please provide any suggestions you might have on this subject.

Hi
I am Technical Director and have been working in the US under o1 visa for 2 years
This visa has initially been sponsored by a company, so I can only work for this company
A lawyer told me that I could self-sponsor another o1 and then be able to work for as much company I want. I have an agent but he is not able to guarantee full time employment.
So I am wondering if I should do that or not.. What are the exact salary requirements for a self-sponsored o1?
I got a good folder, awards, recommendations and publications.
Thanks a lot for your answers

To the best of my knowledge, I am not aware of any "self sponsored O visa". O visa is unfortunately owned by a specific employer and you are only authorized to work for that employer.
What you could consider is to file an EB1A greencard and file it concurrently with I485, EAD and AP and then you can work on EAD for as many employers as you wish. However, your case (awards, recommendations, publications, citations etc) should be a "good case" for EB1A (and generally if you are good for O visa, it is quite likely that you are good for EB1A, but this is not an absoulte rule). Go with a good attorney with experience in EB1 cases.
Good Luck.

I have an employee who was a student and then got employment authorization. She asked me to begin the process of getting her an H1B; but then we determined that she really wanted a green card. Can I use the LCA I got for her H1B to apply for her I-i40?

Hello,
Last week i received RFE for my wife's father's name. The name on birth certificate is different from school leaving & other docs. I'm trying to get it corrected from Mumbai.
I beleive if i get a correct one matching with other docs, i should be ok.
Another issue, i have is i have rented an apartment under my name close to my work in the same state. All my docs have my home address, my question is will it affect my case if they find another address under my name?? I still have official address as my home everywhere...
Yes you need to make sure that all documents have consistency in names and dates. As far as your second question goes USCIS has space for just one address which should be your current address. So as long as you can prove that the address listed in CIS system is the most current address then you are fine. There is no law or no way to provide multiple address. Just make sure you can prove that address on file is your primary residence.

Hi All,
If the H-1B sponsor is non-profit organization do they still need to follow rules of privilege wage?
Where can I find the information about the sponsorship process with non-profit?
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

The Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky has registered and notified the winners of the DV-2010 diversity lottery. The diversity lottery was conducted under the terms of section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and makes available *50,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.
Winners should start finding out very soon. Notifications to the randomly-selected diversity visa or "green card lottery" winners are being sent between May and July 2010.
How does it all work?
Soon an official letter from the U.S. Department of State Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) in Williamsburg, Kentucky will be sent to the mailing address that you provided in your entry. Being selected as a lottery winner does not guarantee that you will receive a visa; you must still apply and qualify for the immigrant visa. The notification letters will provide further instructions, including information on additional forms and documentation required and immigrant visa application fees.
Only participants in the DV-2010 program who were selected for further processing have been notified. Those who have not received notification were not selected. They may try for the upcoming DV-2011 lottery if they wish. The dates for the registration period for the DV-2011 lottery program will be widely publicized during August 2009.

2. If he own corporation with his current status (OPT) and if he files his H1B in year 2010; what issue might he face?
3. Are there any legal obligations to own a corporation while his status on OPT? Or does he require to take any extra measures / precautions to own this coporation?
Note: He just wants own this company and not plan to do anything much to it until he settles down and he wanted utilize this oppertunity.

I'm off to London for my H1B stamping. I was working for an Investment Bank that folded and I took up a job with a bank that has not taken TARP funds (not a US bank)
My I-129 was approved, however, it was approved before the new I-129 that asks whether the company accessed covered funds.
I just wanted to know whether I need to ask counsel in my firm to update the I-129 or should I just go ahead with the stamping?
Any other important documents I should take along? I was thinking of
a) letter from employer stating salary, start-date, position etc
b) letter from company stating that they did not receive TARP
anyone else on the same boat?

Do they really know our name check status in local INS? When I spoke to NSC an year back, they said that my name check is done and waiting for visa numbers. when I went local INS office recently, she simply checked the online status (which we used to login and see) and she told that my name check is pending. It's been 4 years since I filed my 485, how is this possible?

You can definetly start any bussiness you want. As per the link below it seems it will be safe to stay with the current employer for atleast 6 months.

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
The Senators are coming, the Senators are coming! That's right, the Senate is debating the DHS Appropriations bill right now, and immigration amendments are being offered. I blogged about the Sessions E-Verify proposal yesterday. Well bill, that passed by voice vote this morning, but not before the Senate voted down a proposal from Senator Schumer to table the Sessions proposal. Senator Leahy, in an astute move prior to the vote on Sessions' E-Verify bill, amended that bill to include a permanent extension of the EB-5 Regional Pilot Program. So, Leahy's amendment permanently extending the EB-5 Regional Pilot Program was approved too!
Senator DeMint from South Carolina threw in a bill to mandate the construction of actual fences along 700 miles of the Southern Border, taking away the right of DHS/CBP to decide how best to protect that border. That has also passed.
Senator Hatch has now introduced a bill which includes positive changes including undoing the Widow Penalty, and a religious worker extension and a rural doctors program extension. You can still call the Senate Switchboard to voice your support for this latter bill, and your disgust with the Senate passage of laws without debate that will affect millions of lives and cost billions of dollars. You can reach your Senator by calling 202-224-3121.
All of these amendments, of course, must now go back to a conference committee with the House, and there is no guarantee that any of them will become law. But, lest you thought your time to relax from calling your Congressman was over, it has now started again. Get on the phone and start demanding REAL Immigration Reform, rather than this piecemeal junk.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/186823568153827945-7232301415393625463?l=ailaleadership.blogspot.com

I took an infopass appointment last october and my FBI name check status was pending. After seeing the USCIS memo on march4th that all namecheck pending for 180 days has been cleared by feb 28th 2009, i went again for an infopass appt last week. IO toldme that my namecheck is still pending.
So i contacted my senators office same day and sent all my info along with the USCIS memo. Next day senators office called me back and told me that they called USCIS and came to know that my name check has been cleared. Senators office told me that infopass information could be wrong or may not have been updated.
IS that a possibility ? any inputs ?
I took infopass again last week and the IO told me the FBI name check is still pending. My lawyer initiated and inquiry to nebraska serv center and got following notification
"CIS electronic records indicate that both applicants have current Fingerprint results and FBI name checks"
Does that mean FBI name check is cleared?. If yes why infopass showing wrong thing?. Also i had only one FP done, that was in sep 2007.
