AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the immigration waters again. Transparency, we were promised it. One year into the new administration, however, it remains an elusive concept. That is it did, until yesterday. Yesterday, I saw a poster at the CIS that revealed exactly how the agency views immigration lawyers. It was a poster of small fish in the water being stalked by a large shark. I walked past it and literally did a comic book like double take.
Underneath in comparatively small letters there is a caption that warns people to protect themselves against those who are not authorized to help them. There was no indication or explanation, however, of what that could mean, other than the picture of giant shark.
The subliminal message was both clear and offensive. I dare the agency to say I am reading too much into it. Google �metaphors and similes.� Nine times out of ten the definition includes a lawyer shark comparison/example. Couple this with the daily reports we receive where our clients are told �why do you have a lawyer, your lawyer knows nothing.�
Contrary to the government�s implication, however, immigration lawyers are not predatory. The bulk of immigration lawyers I know, and I know a lot of them, literally agonize over the fates of their clients. They spend hours upon hours trying to assist them through a labyrinth of inconsistent rules, regulations (when we actually get them) and guidance.
AILA works hard to combat immigration fraud and the unauthorized practice of law. It also does all it can to educate 15,000 immigration lawyers about both the law and ethics.
I agree that immigrants need to be wary of perpetrators of immigration fraud. The government, however, should warn of the true predators - those practicing law without a license. Its posters should identify who those individuals are and provide warnings or information calculated to educate about unscrupulous practices. Simply, a broad statement below an icon typically used to vilify attorneys does nothing of the sort.
I am not sure how to depict the government�s purported message in its elaborate seascape. Perhaps a tidal wave depicting millions being thrown back indiscriminately on foreign shores or a lamprey latched onto an unsuspecting gentle manatee. I need to think about it. I take metaphors seriously as they �are dangerous and are not to be trifled with.� Please remove the posters immediately.

I was in similar situation sometime back. It seems that CP is tied to I-140 (not 485) thus primary applicant is only eligible for CP. Check out visa bulletin date progression for family class - these are catching up with EB2 dates. I would imagine when you get your GC, you could apply for dependents in family class and expect to have the same cleared in a year or so. Again this is purely speculative.

I fully respect that retrogression and per country limits are bad for us and the US economy as the first and the foremost of H1B issues.
But, sometimes, some of us aren't able to reach that stage of the Green Card Queue.
Therefore, the H1B displaced workers due to employer malice and corresponding USDL long investigations leaves many without a recourse and bitterly exposed with families to feed and fend:
1. Some three GAO reports, two undercover, one published in NY Times on March 25, 2009 indicates that the WHD fails the complainants giving rise to apprehensions that once an employer creates problems, the H1B's USA plans are doomed, immaterial of how s/he was an integral part of the US economy.
2. To top this, the complainant is cornered as no process exists (regulatory/statutory) to give these stuck H1Bs' an immigration status, and they cannot find new jobs either due to economy or due to employer malice and lost the job in the first place due to retaliation.
3. Finally, when the H1B's complaint comes in the sixth visa year there is just no possibility to seek another H1B when no Green Card process is pending at the Labor Certification or its upper stages leaving a void in the H1Bs most sincere efforts to move on.
Therefore, further, I am requesting you and others at IV to please incorporate some semblance of a support structure once an H1B is reported to have failed due to employer created problems.
I suggest H1B SWAP Act (Skilled Workers Abuse Prevention) that will give at least an EAD and actually a pathway to LPR by having a box on form i485, once an H1B is successfully reported to the USDL to have failed.
I trust this information will be perused and I will be available to given additional input.
Incidentally, I am not alone as you must be aware. Hundreds and even thousands of Indian and other nationalities have had problems, that some are lucky to be able to move on and others get stuck, some even return home totally despaired. None of these individuals and there families are less valuable here.
I am articulating this for the benefit of one and many.

i have read some place in this forum that as long as you maintain your full time primary job you are entitled to use your ead for other smaller assignments without losing your H1 status. But then again I am not a lawyer just sharing what I have read.

Hi All,
Yesterday we e-filed for my wife's 3rd EAD and 4th AP. This will be our first efile.
As we need to send supporting documents for both applications.
Should we send them in one package or two?
Printed address for both application is same!
Is it because I-131 is being considered as child request of I-765?
Thanks in advance.

Please ask your lawyer whether the H1 is being filed as " change of status" or "consular processing". If it is consular processing then she will have to go and get the stamping done. As per my knowledge if H1 is rejected she can still enter on H4 since it is still valid. I assume the H1 petition will be filed on 1st April. If she enters after that date then most probably it will have to be consular processing
However please check with your lawyer since the above is only my understanding
Good luck

I am posting this on behalf of a friend. They (husband/wife) got their green card approval last week, however they got 2 RFEs for their 2 kids. The RFE is about a vaccine called PNEUMOCOCCAL (PCV/PPV) that's not been administered for the kids. The RFE mentions the requirement for this vaccine but the doctor deemed it as NOT-AGE-APPROPRIATE in their filed medical forms.
Our guess is that when they actually administered the vaccine about a year or so ago, it was deemed "Not age appropriate" but now upon approval, the USCIS deems it necessary. I'd appreciate it if anybody with similar experience can post as to how they handled the situation or any insights into who to talk to is also much appreciated. The family is currently not in the country and therefore their options are limited in terms of talking to or meeting someone face to face. Also they need to respond to the RFE by June 24...
Thanks.

To me, it means that they will issue an RFE to ask you about the new (self-employed) job and description of your job duties in the new job, compensation etc. And they should match with original LC.
I have a personal belief that this is a complicated thing in itself and depends largely on the job title, job descriptions and your qualifications mentioned on LC. It would be a good idea to discuss the specifics with a competent attorney before taking any step that might lead you to a new greencard from scratch. Good Luck.

People at the airports( I assume the same for checkpoints) care more about what's the date on the stamp and if you have a valid H1-B to support.
In my case, I had a company A's H1-B Visa stamping(Still valid at that time) and Company B's H1B papers.
Very rarely do they pull-over(it happened for me on a different occassion) and quiz you.
I believe when you say you are abandoning H1-B you are abandoning the petetion and not the Visa.

I'd be interested, are you planning to do local or DC offices?
I have met with staffers from offices of both MD senators a few times (in their DC offices) and I have been to the DC office of my local Congress woman.
Let me know when you are planning to go.

Hi,
This is really stupid of USCIS to assume that we would stay in the same position for 6-7 years before they can re open the case.
I don't know the answer to your question, but I would think if you are staying at the same place with the same company shouldn't be an issue as long as you stay in the same department.
e.g. if you start in IT as an engineer and then during the GC process you change to a managerial role this should be o.k.
But it you shift from IT to sales with the same salary there would be an issue.
my 2 cents

Then the big C may have to deal with the Deeez in majority in congress. A democratic congress will pass a most liberal immigration bill they can imagine. The republicans will be far better served compromising now than waiting if democrats take congress. Right now the Dems, the Prez and the Senate are on the same page.
