In the last few days there is little news/action about STRIVE act. When this act was proposed all of us got excited and promised to each other to do everything to make it a success. Some of us did make phone calls to lawmakers (as per IV directions) but after that everything seems cooled down. Why are we losing our focus now?
Yes the new Senate bill S.1035 (tightening H1B program) might have put some doubts in our minds; but can we continue our efforts on STRIVE and deal with S.1035 thru amendments when it comes to discussion. Discussion about S.1035 on our forum is fine and in fact we might have to do that to figure out how bad/good it is our specific issues. But in the meantime we have to continue our efforts on STRIVE act too.

Call your lawmaker drive ended on 6th April. Today is 9th April.
The next step was to schedule a meeting with our lawmakers. Many people are doing that. Did you try doing that?
In addition, today President Bush renewed call for immigration reform. Things will happen before the Summer break.

I am currently on the H1B 7th Year Extension with I-140 Approved stage from the existing company. My Priority date is Oct 2001 under India EB3. I will be moving to the fortune company starting from next month and they are ready to sponsor my green card with existing priority date. I got the copy of the 140 from my existing company and submitted the same to the new one.
Couple of days I read in the immigration articles that EB2 & EB3 dates for India may move little bit during the summer months starting from June. In that case, what are the options available for me for filing I-485 if my dates becomes current.
Can I request my old company to file for I-485 and move to new company on H1?? Or can I contact an attorney for filing my I-485 with my current documentation and work with new company on H1??
Any help and guidence on this is really appreciated. I want to exercise all the possible options when the dates are becoming current for me. If I want to file the green card from the new company, I need to wait for 6 - 9 months. However, they will use the old priority date for filing the Labor & 140.
Please help & guide me on this.

mergers and acquisitions come under successor of interest and GC process is usually status quo. at yous stage, M&A wouldnt need any inputs from ur side. Confirm with attorney.
Ofcourse you can also join company C, using AC21 with all the caveats that apply.

what does it mean? If you apply your 485 on July 2nd, within 6 months time (by Jan 2nd) you will get 485 approved?
This question has been asked 100000000 times..
your I-485 will be adjudicated in 6 months IF and ONLY IF your PD is current and your security checks are cleared. Without these 2 conditions, the processing times are pretty much useless for us.

I am having a proiblem with the I140 approval and I485 visa requested in wrong category. My Labor Certification is filed in EB3( BS with 2 plus years of experience). The company does not want to take risk hence filed in EB3 category.
After the labor certification is approved I filed my I140 in EB2 with the appropriate documentation qualifying for the upgraded/change position with additional skills and my I140 got approved in EB2 and the approval has 203 (b) 2.
After filing I485, interview is scheduled and the officer satisfied that the documents are sufficient and I am approveable the Immigration Officer requested visa number and came back saying no visa number is available hence we need to wait. At the time of interview(Ocotber 2005) both EB3 and EB2 are retrogressed. The officer did not give any sort of documents hence did not know anything such what category he requested what code did he use.
In July 27th the Immigration Officer mentioned that the previous officer requested the visa number in EB3(E37). I spoke with an attorney who said that it is possible to change and hence taken the steps to correct the error/mistake of wrong EB Category.Because of this wrong category I did not get visa number.
What are my chances that the USCIS goes back and corrects the error and put back in EB2 and request number in E21 or E26.I already sent the letters of my I140 approval, receipt of I140. What process should I take apart from reaching out CIS Ombudsman, Congresswoman,Senator,self letter addressing to the USCIS about the error and the potential long waiting periods for no fault of mine.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I need advice on my situation. My wife filed EB2 based 485 application through her employer and my application and my son's application were filed as derivative applications. My priority date is Dec 2005 and country of chargeability is India. My application and my son's application were approved on August 04, 2010 but my wife's application is still pending approval. It has been nearly 10 days since derivative applications were approved.
I understand that derivative applications cannot be approved without primary application getting approved first but why, then, my wife's application is still showing "initial review"?
I am confused and getting a little worried about this. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.

I am getting ready to n-470 to preserve residency. My company is sending me to UAE for one week period which will leads to other long back and forth trips there. I need to file n-470 to preserve residency for naturalization. I have already lived here for more than one year as a permanent resident. My questions are:
1. Where do I find a sample communication letter as a support document?
2. What do I write in it?
Thank you in advance.

The one with the girl and the waterfall is a masterpiece! It makes me curious about the situation. Where was it taken?
Thanks!
That was taken last October on the Island of Dominica at a place called Emerald Pool (believed to be the "fountain of youth" by the locals). The girl in the pic is my girlfriend's sister and didn't mind playing model for me. :)
I'll try to find a color shot of the pool and waterfall for you. Very nice place, buried in the rain forest.

Technically, you can do that. But it's better for you to transer your case to consular processing if you are not planning to be in the US for a couple years.

Hello
I am on H1 and 3 months back i came to US.After one month i applied for SSN,but still didnt get that.
when i went to SS office for enquiry 1 week back, they told me that my immigration verification was not done yet. so i had to wait.
can anyone help me with this.
how many days will it took to complete the process??
is there any other way around........
please answer me ASAP.
It usually takes 8 weeks tops to complete (after all dig deeeeeeeep checks). Does your first & last name match on passport, 797 and I-94? - this is one of reasons for delay in issuing a SSN. My 2C

I think you should be fine. Apart from this scenario on the other extreme you could start working for the new company with just the receipt number as well. You dont need to wait for the approval to start working for the new company.
Hello All,
I am planning to start working for a new company starting June. I was wondering If I can start H1B visa transfer to the new company via premium processing(hopefully will get approved in 2-3 weeks) and continue to work for the current employer and get paid till the end of May, even the though the transfer would have been approved in the end of April.
Thanks in advance.

Does any one know how a company from a foreign country(India) can open a bank account in USA.
There is a possibility to register as a company in US and then apply for business account. But being still on H1 dont feel comfortable to register a company in US.
Are there any other ways a company in foreign country can open an account in USA to do the business at least to get the payments from the US customers.
Are there any suggestions to specific banks like wells fargo or so that would help in the process?
How about credit unions like DCU? Do they offer such provisions?
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated..

Option 1 (epassporphoto) is good. I have used it more then once for US as well as UK visa (also my daughter's Indian Passport)
Just a few tips --
Make sure
1) you take the photo under Fluoroscent (tube) light or outdoor.
2) there is not too much shadow behind
3) the background is white (or something very light)
4) if you wear glasses, remove those
5) your face should be straight (both ears should be visible)
