My husband just booked tickets for Washington DC to attend the rally. Very excited to be part of this rally!
Would like to encourage people from WA state to plan on attending this rally & make a difference!
This is the time to act!!! We need more people, I don't see anyone from Seattle attending. I know there are thousands of GC applicants from here, come on guys, wake up and lets be heard. September 18, mark your calendars.

My wife has very smooth and sweaty hands. When i applied for Canadian immigration during FBI FP process even after n no. of attempts we couldnt get good prints on FP Sheet using INK.
It is electronic imaging, with very advnced technology. It immediately analyzes, whether it is legible or not, so that if illegible, repeated operations can be performed. I hope that she will not have any problem.

Changing from L1 to H1 has nothing to do with your GC process.
Since you have L1 - you have most probably worked outside the US for at least 1 year with your employer. If this 1-year stint was at a managerial capacity (5-6 people reported to you at least, and you are at least 2-3 positions removed from the entry level) and was within the last 3 years - then you can apply in EB1 category.
I changed from L1-H1 as well. I was not able to apply in EB1 since my 1-year stint was outside the 3 year window.
Whether you can apply in EB1 or not has no connection with whether you are on L1, H1 or even outside the country. The EB1 requirements are similar to L1requirements (in fact identical to L1A requirements) - and that is why you see lots of L1A guys getting their GC early. There is a definite correlation - but no causation.

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) is seeking public comment on a proposed federal rule (http://www.federalregister.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2010-13991_PI.pdf) that would adjust most fees by 10% for immigration benefit applications and petitions.
USCIS is a fee-based organization with about 90% of its budget coming from fees paid by applicants and petitioners to obtain immigration benefits. The law requires USCIS to conduct fee reviews every two years to determine whether its costs to administer the nation�s immigration laws, process application, and provide the infrastructure needed to support those activities. A fee adjustment, as detailed in the proposed rule, is necessary to ensure that the USCIS recovers the cost of their operations while also meeting the application processing goals identified in the 2007 fee rule.
Members of the public are encouraged to submit comments and/or suggestions to USCIS.
Comments may be submitted through regulations.gov (http://www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/home.html#home). The comment period runs for 45 days, beginning June 11, 2010 and ending July 26, 2010.

I know that an H1B may be extended beyond the 6 year limit as long as the there has been at least a Labor Cert pending for the past 365 days. So basically, as long as you have a LC pending, the H1B is increased in yearly increments until the GC is approved or denied.
However:
1) Once I-140 is approved, do they automatically extend the H1B (the next time it is due for an extension) by three years?
2) Once you're in that "extension zone" (i.e. past your 6 year limit because of a pending GC application) of your H1B can you still switch jobs? (obviously your new company would have to file a new Labor cert once again for you)?
Thanks.

a) Can I move to a different company now? Since my H1 extension is based on I-140 approval, I am not sure if this can be used to transfer to new company.
Yes, you can find another employer willing to hire you and sponsor your H1. Since you have an approved I-140, your new employer can use a copy of your I-140 approval notice and get a fresh 3 yr H1 extension
b) When I do a H1 transfer now, Will I get my H1 date till Apr 2012 as per my current H1 approval notice or just for the few more months I had on my original H1B?
You will get a 3 yr H1 extension
c) What will happen to my labor and I-140 after my H1 transfer? My labor was originally applied in EB3 category. Can I file a new one in EB2 category after transferring to the new company?
You cannot directly file your I-485 when your PD is current if you change employers. Your new employer has to start the process all over again from scratch (in any category depending on your job requirement). New employer will have to file PERM/I-140 but can use your old EB-3 PD from the I-140 approval to file I-485.

Please help me in this regard.
I came to US in Sep 2003 using H4 visa. Later in 2004 I applied for H1 visa with two different companies. first one got approved in Oct 2004, second one got approved in Nov 2004. I started working with the second company since Dec 2004.
Now, is it wrong not joining the first company upon approval. Since H1 status starts as soon as visa is approved, have i violated any status rules here by not working with first company at all?. What would be my status since the first H1 was approved and until i started working with second company?
Had i been out of status during the time period between Oct and Nov 2004?
Thank you.

I guess Wacom advertises their tablets more vigorously than Genius? Who knows... have you compared Genius and Wacom side by side and discovered that Genius is far superior? Personally, I selected Wacom because it's the only brand that isn't obscure and I've read a number of positive things about Wacom. It's pricey but a good investment. My first Graphire paid for itself in no time and even helped me purchase my Intuos 2.

Hello,
As was discussed in the past on this forum, USC may have meant something for 20th century, but in 21st, USC does not offer any preferential advantage over other passports (unless you hold passport of problem childs like Iran, Sudan, Cuba etc).
At the end of day, its a personal choice, so let people be happy with whatever citizenship they choose... :)

Your total withholding is $1400 or your difference with using 3 allowance or 6 allowance is $1400. Assuming you are talking about total. Your difference should be 300-400 a month. I am not justifying your companies attitude nor I am asking you to not take any action. But all I am telling you is it's not a big deal..personally I feel better when I get a chunk of money in Tax refund. But for that I have to wait one full year and deductions are $1400 more per month.

1.Is it mandatory to have a pending 485 application in order to get H1b
extended beyond 6 years using I-140 approval?
2.Do I need to be with the employer who filed PERM in order to get the H1b
extended beyond 6 years using I-140 or can a new employer file for my
extension using the approved I-140( without having a pending 485
application ) ?
Greatly apprecite any response...
thanks
You can use your 140 approval notice copy to extend beyond 6 years. It does not matter to which employer the 140 belongs to. It is not mandatory that you should have 485 pending.

Hi,
Situation- PD Current and eligible to file 485
Married but seperated. What should that person mention in the form?
If he mentions his wife's name on the form, would she get GC as well?
Does he need to submit any docs for his wife? Currently planning to file for himself only.
Please advise
Thanks
