Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/PPT%20Control.pngWith all our experience counseling on immigration law questions, the attorneys at Fong & Chun in Los Angeles do not regularly get the chance to see the day-in, day-out operations at airports and other ports of entry.
Whether it is Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy or not, I do not know, but last week, I noticed DHS personnel roaming through the terminals at Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC. They actually went to various gates and randomly requested ID or passports from OUTBOUND passengers seated in the boarding areas.
That is, they checked the documents of both Americans and foreigners who were LEAVING the USA. Not entering.
I followed them around a little bit. The officers were friendly, civil. They approached passengers in the terminal, asked them their final destinations, and asked if they could see their passports. Interestingly, although I was standing right next to a bank of chairs in the boarding area, they did not ask me for my passport, nor did they ask anyone who was standing or walking through the terminal. They only approached persons seated in the departure gate area. I did not see them detain anyone.
I have often been asked whether DHS personnel made random checks of persons in airports. I used to say that "they could, but I've never seen it." Well, I have now. --jcf

No difference. You pay more for 1 yr textensions as you have to do 3 times as compared to 3yr extension. No lawyer will advise you to go for 1 yr if you have an approved I140....

Hi,
I lost my jon w/big software consultancy. I found another project and then applied for H1-B transfer with Indian consulting company. Its been almost 1 month since new company have filed for H1-B transfer and renewal (my H1-B was expring on July 6th, 2009).
so far, i've not received any H1-B recipt. I'm worried about it. I'm also getting married in the last w/e of Nov, 2009. Is it a good idea to file for Premimum processing.
Thanks,
Rajeev

from google I have 2 links. However both are contradictiing
http://www.immigration.com/perm/permdolnews.pdf
Completing Form ETA 750
AILA: Has the issue been resolved as to how to complete item 10 on Form ETA 750B? As discussed, the item asks for either 10a or 10b to be completed, whichever is appropriate, not both. Please note that Consulate location has not been a required entry since 1990. The reason the question existed was that under the pre-1990 preference system, one could process under a non-preference category with an approved labor certification and no I-140 petition so the question was necessary on the ETA 750. Since 1990, the item should have been marked "N/A". Therefore, we suggest that the item is no longer relevant.
Another one says its mandatory to fill
Can some share there knowledge?
thanks

USCIS is one of the most greedy & inefficient organization. People in high offices should complaint about USCIS's Lie which their officials tells the congress all the time for adjudication delays. On one hand they say they are overwhelmed with too many applications, on the other hand they still issue 1 year advance parole, selectively 2 years EAD. They could easily make these documents valid for atleast 2 years, and have just one document for EAD & AP, but since they love to be overwhelmed with applications as they come the checks, they don't mind...
That is because their entire revenue comes from filing fees (2.5 billion out of the 2.6 billion dollars). Why would they make changes when they get easy money? It is a win-win for them - by both delaying the processing of the original application and by reducing the validity of the interim benefits, they prolong the money flow.
Don't expect any reform from Congress because they are the ones who allocated the filing fees revenue to pay for the USCIS expenditure.

Since you are in H1B the employer would book your ticket to US and secondly, if in any case if you have to go back the employer would give you a return ticket back. That's what most of the employers do.
After reaching US, be active in IV forums as well as join the state chapter.
All the best.

I'm coming to the US for the first time on H1B. Do I need a one way or a return ticket? My travel agent told me that since I have a multiple entry visa (expiring on Oct 2011) a return ticket is not required unless I need to travel back home within one year. Could someone with knowledge about this issue help me out. I would really appreciate a reply from someone who recently landed in the US on H1B.

I graduated in MS (I'm on H4 currently) recently.My previous degree is from India (passed out BCOM in 1999). I dont have any IT experience.
I'm talking with couple of companies about getting a H1. What documents I need to show for H1 for USCIS? Do I need to show any experience to USCIS?
Please reply
The lawyer of your sponser will guide you regarding this.

First off, the chances of you being denied an H1 renewal are zero to none unless ofcourse you or your attorney made a error on your application (incorrect fees etc).
For argument purposes, if your H1 is denied you could always fall back on your EAD. Denial of H1 does not invalidate your I-485 as long as your "JOB" is still present. Now your entire status is dependent on your AOS application. If you AOS (485) is denied you would have to leave the country.
If your H1 is renewed, you can stay in the US for the entire period of its validity even if your I-485 application is rejected/denied.
As always, take all advice given on a message board with a grain of salt and consult an attorney.

I moved to US in 1987 got a 2 year conditional residence green card sponsored by my step father. Once the 2 years were met the new forms were submitted but I believe were a couple of days late. At the time I was 19. I remember vaguely remember it but we took the paperwork into the office.
So I waited and waited at an address shared with 2 college roommates and no new green card came. I thought maybe it came and someone had mistakenly through it away. No notice was sent to my mother's house for me to leave.
Well I never really bothered with it till more recently. I didn't work I had ID so other than violating the fact I didn't "carry" my green card everywhere I went, I thought i was perfectly legal.
In 1993 my mother passed away(still married to stepfather).
So about six months ago I decided to file an I-90 for a new card because I wanted to travel out of the US. They sent me an appointment for biometrics. I went to that and figured it was a done deal. Then they sent me a card that expired in 1989, explaining that I had filed the wrong form and needed to file like the I-751. Also they let me know that they would keep the fees for the wrong filing(the least of my worries).
So I briefly looked over this I-751 and basically I think I have to prove that my mother was married to my stepfather for the required time. First I barely remember his name, have no idea where they were married. Just looking for some help on this situation. Not really sure what to do.
I have an appointment on Monday with an immigration attorney. They ran my alien number for me and no action of deportation has been started. So I guess that is a good sign.
I have been here almost 21 years now and I like it here I want to stay :P
I'm from England btw not that this is a big deal just thought I would mention it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

My personal suggestion : It's your personel descision, I think nobody on this forum can tell you anything in this matter. You are not in a soup like us. It's just you want to get all things in life at the same time without sacrificing anything ..... This may not work sir, to get you need to give. :)

If you don't have photo copy then ask your lawyer, they always keeps copy of 485 documents before sending to USCIS. you should be able to get another one from India.
Hi folks,
My baddest of the bad phases started recently when I lost my wife's birth certificate from India. Worst part is we dont have backup (no photo copies of it).
Anyways, We are waiting in the 485 queue, working on EADs. Question to all folks, do still need birth certificate now for the green card process, as we have already sent the application?
And how bad it is with redtape/corruption in India, to get another birth certificate from my wife's birth hospital, when we try by ourselves (I mean not involving our/her parents), when we visit India next time (maybe for a month)?
Appreciate your responses..
