IV needs volunteers
As the time approaches for heated immigration debate on the Hill, behind the scenes IV activities are also are also going to increase. IV core members have full time jobs and thus we need more hands to share the mission we have all been working on.
This is a request to IV members if they are willing to spare a few hours everyday for some IV's work. This work will involve writing lots of emails (a template will be provided) and making phone calls.
We all are going through a lot of frustration due to the delays in our green card processes and I am sure highly skilled and educated spouses that are on H4 would have more than our share of pain due to not having any work permit. If we could have such volunteers who can devote few hours during the day for IV it would a Big help. With everyone's effort and support we will surely succeed.
If you would like to help us, please write to himanshu at immigrationvoice.org

Hello Freinds,
I came to India on a vacation and went for a H1 stamping on 29th Dec at the Chennai consulate. I ended up getting the famous Pink 221G (Additional Admin Processing - AAP). I believe it is because of my muslim name (I am not a consultant or working for any consulting firm, full time employee with my comp's IT department, work for a reputed manufacturing company and done MS here in USA, been in USA for 9 years now, had previous F1, and H1 stampings).
The VO asked very basic questions (who is the employer, what they do, where did you go to school, what majors) and didn't take any of my documents except the D156, D157 & Employee letter. She said my visa is approved, however I will have to go through AAP and will have to wait for 4 to 12 weeks.
I am planning to wait till the end of January and if nothing moves ahead in my case, then go back to USA on Advance Parole (Based on the experience from other members who were stuck in 221G and who travelled back on AP), and come back to India once the 221G is cleared, and the consulate requests to send Passport.
One of my personal concerns about this approach, does the consulate consider my visa applicaton abondoned if they find out that I have already entered US (using AP)? and will it have any issues in the future with my pending AOS?
Has anyone gone through this similar situation (that they travelled on AP while H1 is in 221G status) and got successful stamping after the consulate has requested to send the Passport.
Anyone please share your experience in the above situation........
Also if am returning to USA on AP, do I have to show the I797, so the Immigration officer puts the expiration date on the I94 as the date on the I797
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I will take this oppurtunity to thank everyone who showed the courage by joining us at Washington DC.
It was a great pleasure meeting all the people from the New England area. I finally got a chance to put a face to all the names with whom i have talked on conference calls. This was just an amazing experience and i am hoping we will get a chance to have more such experiences and we will keep on continuing our efforts till the time we get the system fixed.
Folks, the rally was a huge success. The situation room (15th, 16th, 17th) was an example of all the positive energy which was builing up for the rally.
The reception(17th) was a showcase of IV. The rally(18th) was the final bang.
But inspite of having so many people affected from the GREEN CARD delays from the New England area, we just had a few folks show up at the rally. This was really disappointing.
I am sure there must be a very good reason for that. But if you have any doubts, we will really like to talk to you and clarify your doubts.
As i always say.
GO IV GO

AFAIK, EB-2 can be filed either with LC or via NIW route. NIW bypasses LC requirements, but you need to make a strong case for why your advanced qualifications/expertise will serve the interests of US society in the long term, a task often better handled by a competent immigration attorney. EB-1 is similar to NIW in terms of eligibility requirements, but USCIS uses a stricter microscope to approve EB-1 cases, again something an experienced attorney can help with.

As the house will go into a recess after around a month, is anyone seeing a possibility for a congressional action regarding the three pending immigration bills in the house? �A realistic possibility?
As per the calendar, we have time till August 4 and between September 7 & September 26, to get something done in Congress. It might be really difficult to get something done in September as that short time may be used by the congress for many high priority items.
Recess:
August 4 to September 7: House August Recess
August 9 to September 7: Senate August Recess
September 26: House Target Adjournment Date
I am wondering, what else I could do to push our bills to fruition.

Hi All,
My LC was approved recently(PD June 2004). The location/office for which my LC was initially filed was closed recently.
My company(which has offices all over states) has another locations/Offices in the same metropolitan area.The company attorney is saying that they can use my approved LC to file my I-140(and I-485 concurrently) for another location in the same area as long as it is within commuting distance of the original location.
Was wondering if anyone knows about this?
Thanks
The wages for Labor Certifications are determined by MSA(Metropolitan Statistical Area), so as long as the new location is in the same MSA, there should be no problem.

Dear Sir / Madam
I am a software consultant on H1B. I have recently concluded my employment in California for client A and now I have relocated to GA where I am working for client B.
I have the following questions in this regard:
1) Should I do an LCA transfer to the state of GA from CA? + How many days do I have from the date of original relocation to do this transfer?
2) Can I do this paper work by myself or would I need the help of an immigration lawyer? + Any idea of what the average / approximate expense would be?
Any information with regards to this is highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Your Company has to file LCA not you. Technically they have to file H1B amendment. Many people does not this. It has to be filed Immediately. There is nothing like grace period.

Big thanks to the entire group. We should not be happy unless we get our goals done.
1. They should take the applications for July 2007.
2. They should make PD July 2007 for the coming VB atleast. Because it was current in July 2007.
3. They should increase the VISA numbers so that the back log is no more.
4. They should not seperate husband and wife because of this idiotic immigration system. One having a green card and other partner not able to be with them. Because we INDIAN strongly believe in marriage and not like AMERICAN marrying more than 1 wife or husband.

It looks like this was an inadvertent statement of the President's plans before it was formally announced by the Justice Department. Secretary of State Clinton told an Ecuadoran television station: �President [Barack] Obama has spoken out against the law because he thinks that the federal government should be determining immigration policy,� Clinton said in comments first highlighted by a conservative blog. �And the Justice Department, under his direction, will be bringing a lawsuit against the act.� Predictably, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is upset as is J.D. Hayworth, the anti-immigrant candidate trying to replace John McCain as Arizona's Senator. Here's today's...

You should be fine. Now that you have the receipt, you can start working for employer B. Some wait for the actual transfer to take place before working. It is a matter of preference. From what you have mentioned, your case seems to be pretty straight fwd and should not be an issue.
Good luck.

Few months ago, my company filed for my 7th year extension and USCIS approved the extension for only 8 months instead of 1 year (my I-140 hadn't been approved yet). My lawyers contacted USCIS for clarification and we finally heard back from them. They say that the approval of 8 months is correct and gave no explanation for why it was not for 1 year (which I would have qualified for since my LC was approved when the extension was filed).
Has anyone else experienced a similar thing?
Check with you employer on the validiity of the associated LCA. At the time of your H1 approval, there might have been only 8 months of validity left on the LCA. Other reason could be, assuming you are working for a consulting company, USCIS might have given you an extension till the end of the current project. I have seen several cases where USCIS only gave 6 month extensions because the project PO was only valid for 6 months.
