Man you need to go help USCIS write a good program that helps them become efficient. I am still struggling with the idea that they lose thousands of Visa numbers every year just because of their inefficiency.

I know he had no problems with Visa renewal. I think they are asking many PM/TL/CRMs to comeback and work night shifts and still manage US clients from India......

Folks,
Is there a time limit to transfer a H1-B visa ? If the previous company revokes the H1-B visa how long do we have or is the H1-B canceled at that point ? Please let me know at your earliest.

Just want to share the info that i got from my immigration firm news letter
Under Section 265 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), all non-U.S. citizens who change their residential address are required to notify the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) within 10 days of the change. This applies to all adults and children (of any age) who are non-U.S. citizens, including U.S. green card holders.
A person who fails to notify the USCIS of a change of address within 10 days of the change is guilty of a misdemeanor under Section 266 of the INA. The penalty for failing to notify the government of the new address within 10 days is a fine of up to $200.00 or possible imprisonment for a period not to exceed 30 days, or both. However, the government has not enforced this section of the law that rigorously to date, and many notify the USCIS of their change of address well after the 10 day reporting period without an issue, but this could change. Since we have seen an increase in USCIS enforcement activities with respect to H-1B employers and H-1B workers, and since many H-1B employers place H-1B employees at client locations around the country for short-term assignments, it is very important that H-1B employees notify the USCIS each time they move within the 10 day reporting period.
In order to report a change of address to the USCIS you may download, complete, and mail a Form AR-11 or Form AR-11SR (Special Registrants Only) to the USCIS, or you may report your change of address, electronically, by visiting the USCIS web site (www.uscis.gov), and following the procedures provided by the USCIS

The only thing I notice is a little orage that looks unusual on the tip of the rear ducks beak. If that's not it, I don't see anything.
No, it's just the lower centimeter or so of the picture, below the beak, that I've created by cloning, the rest is as captured.
And, uh, swans, by the way. ;)

Hello,
I am here on a H1B visa and my wife is on a H4 Visa. She has recently been admitted to a masters program and would start going to school soon.
1. We want to get a F1 visa for her, so that she can get paid for some work in the campus. Would it be possible to get the F1 visa in Canada. Does anyone have any recent experience on getting this done ?
2. Say we not apply for a visa but only apply for a change of status and do not even go to India or anywhere else before the completion of her program. After that she would go on an OPT. If we go to India then, would it not be a problem in getting a F-1 visa, as her education would already be complete. Does it mean that she should get her visa stamped before she completes her education.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hello everybody,
this is my first post on these forums, I've been reading around a fair bit for the past couple of weeks on immigration related websites, and especially IV.
As it has been so far the best source of information for me I want to ask a question that is pretty confusing...
From what I understood, being eligible for EB-2 is one of the best ways to get a GC in a reasonable delay (let's say around a year according to the first post of unitednations on http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3250).
From what I understood that would merely require to have an arrangement with a company willing to help you in the tedious path to a GC instead of owning you with the H1-B.
There is where my question comes about EB-2 elibility as I'm really confused about the value of my french engineering degree in IT (5 years college, Diplome d'Ingenieur) and the possibility to find a position eligible for EB-2 that wouldn't require experience.
So my question consists of two parts :
- Is there any way to officially check that my degree is equivalent to an US Masters Degree ? (Wikipedia says yes, but I couldn't find any authoritative/official source)
- Is there any way that a position in the IT field that would require such a Masters Degree could be eligible for EB-2 even without work experience requirements ?
Thanks again to all IV folks and other who spend time sharing their precious information.

This is an option given to me by my lawyer - I can change job within my company to a differenct category, even though Green Card Process has to be restarted, we can port the priority date. So it is an option....
All,
My friend works as an internal auditor within a big 4 acccounting firm. His practice is doing quite badly. As there are tons of different practices within this firm, he is thinking about transferring. But his PERM was filed for the internal audit manager position and his I-140 has alreday been approved. If he transfers to a function unrelated to internal audit within his firm (e.g. external audit, tax, fraud, etc.), would there be a problem?
Can anyone here provide some guidance or point him to the right discussion thread?
Thanks!!!

Sorry if this is already posted.
on CNN politics section with title
"Bush tries to shift focus from war, Foley scandal"
Homeland security bill signed
After his remarks, Bush stepped outside on a patio with a view of Camelback Mountain to sign a $34.8 billion bill to fund homeland security. The bill includes $1.2 billion for about 700 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border, along with vehicle barriers, lighting and infrared cameras to help catch people sneaking across.
But Bush has been saying for months that the country's immigration problems cannot be solved just by tightening border security. U.S. employers need cheap foreign labor, and immigrants will continue to sneak in to take the jobs, Bush said, so Congress should authorize temporary work permits to match those workers with low-paying jobs that other Americans don't want. He also wanted to give citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants already in the United States.
But Republicans in Congress took a tougher stance against immigration and have refused to give Bush the more comprehensive legislation he wanted.
"We'll continue to work with Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform that secures this border, upholds the laws and honors our nation's proud heritage as a land of immigrants," Bush said just before putting his pen to the bill's paper.

Dear fellow IV members,
I was just referring to my first application for EAD filed by my lawyer (july filer)
For Q#12 - Date of last entry into the US - my lawyer had entered (05/10/2007) - the H1-B approval date in date of last entry in to US - is this because of the new I-94 attached to H1-B approval notice?
But the I-94 in the passport shows my actual physical entry into US after my last visit outside the country - 08/10/2006.
I have not traveled outside the country after renewing my H1-B.
Which date did you guys put - the actual date of physical entry or the I-94 start date after renewal of H1-B?
Thank you!!!

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has announced (http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=32094) that several more forms will be transitioning from the Service Centers to the Lockbox Network. USCIS believes that by centralizing form and fee intake to a Lockbox environment, USCIS will improve consistency and integrity in the intake process.
The forms scheduled for the transition include:
I-140 (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=4a5a4154d7b3d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD), Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker;

This transition has already started, as the Service Centers will be forwarding applications to the appropriate Lockbox facilities. USCIS plans to announce the address change sometime in June and will revise the filing instructions and update the web page for each form.

It has no effect on a future Citizenship application. Remember it is a payment against unemployment insurance which is paid by your previous employer/s.
As such it is not a burden on the state.
Does anyone know if claiming unemployment benefits after layoff have any possible impact on a future citizenship application?

The purchase of a piece of property in America, a single-family house, a PUD (planned unit development) or a condo (flat within a condominium) will guarantee you and your family a green card. This is one of the extreme measures implemented to help stall the meteoric fall of the United States economy in light of the economic crisis, Bulgarian weekly Stroitelstvo Gradut reported on January 15.
Thirty-five accredited investors will have the opportunity to acquire real estate in the south-eastern state of Florida � by purchasing a house � they will be granted a green card for permanent residence and right of employment for the buyer himself and his/her entire family.
Additional conditions are that the prospective buyer must have a clean criminal record, a good credit record, the ability to present and prove a decent monthly income, and no outstanding financial obligations or credit liabilities. The purchase itself can be done either with cash, bank transfer or monthly instalments, but the financial resource must be proven legitimate.
The US government has allocated 10 000 such visas nation-wide for potential investors in real esate, under a programme approved by the US Congress. Florida's is the first such programme that has actively been given the green light to commence. Specialists in the field argue that this is the best time to invest and purchase property in America, as prices in some states have been slashed by as much as 25 per cent. Experts argue that within three years' time, however, the market will stabilise and prices will rise.

hi there,
Unfortunately INA (immigration and naturalization act) does not allow to transfer Employment Based priority dates to Family Based immigration. So no, you can not do it.
