"USCIS will use the priority date that must benefits the applicant, your request has been sent to your file"
Anybody has any idea what this means.

I am working as a biomedical research fellow on a J1 visa for the last 3 years in a non-profit research institute but they cannot sponsor my H1B. I am planning to get a J1 waiver and apply for H1B as I plan to work in the private industry. I am not sure whether I can apply for H1B without an employment offer? I would appreciate any suggestions.

A friend's H1B transfer from company A to company B was denied. Since his H1B with company A is still valid and is going to expire in 3 months, he can still go back to work for company A. However, if he chooses not to work for company A and tries to find a third employer to do another transfer, is he considered out of status for these three months?
yes.
yes.

HI
I filed this week my N400 based on a 5 years rule;
I am a freelance book writer and a web market engeneer;
In 2005 I was let go from my job; I filed for unemployment and I traveld to Asia working part time as writer and looking for a new job and find new places to write about in my book;
the trip lasted 5 months,
I attached my taxes for the last 5 years to the application:
will CIS look at the taxes for 2005 and look at the unemployment benefits together with my international travel?
AM I in trouble when I show up for the interview? I am concerned
pls advice
thank you
I dont think international travel should be a problem as long as you have spent more than half of your last 5 years in the US.
I have heard (IANAL - so please double check) Unemployment benefit is an insurance claim. Your employer (and indirectly you, in the form of foregone salary) paid the premium for it while you were employed. It is technically not supposed to be a government dole. So technically, even that is not supposed to be a problem.
Why dont you spend a few hundred dollars to get a consultation with a good immigration attorney? The potential impact if something goes wrong is way too much for you to rely on questionable advice from strangers in an internet forum.

Just spoke to IO at NSC. Asked about my case. NC is clear and right now processing 09/06 cases so no movement on my case.
Asked if it has chance getting approved by the end of this year. She said, depending on how many visa no. they get from DOS, there are fair chances that it may get approved by the end of this year.
I still do not trust them, but her kind words gave me little hope.

You will have to staple the old passport to the newer one and carry both of them at all times. The visas on the previous passport will not be transferred over to the new passport.

Case received and Pending is a usual status when case is pending.
Sometimes status still remains pending even after case is processed. Also it doesn't mean that you should receive approval since your processing date is with in normal processing time, it may take one or two months more too.

Dear Experts,
My I-140 was filed under "Premium processing" and I have received approval last week. I am currently out of US since May and want to go back. I do have a valid H1-B visa till Sept '10. But, my lawyers have asked me not to go back till my H1 three year extension is approved. This is where I am confused and have the following questions:
1. Why do I need to wait for the H1 approval to come through? Can't I go back now since I do have a valid visa on my passport?
2. For extension filing, don't I have to be physically present in US?
I need to go back asap because working from outside the country is not working out that well for me now since past two months. So, any pointers in this regard will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Mallika

In the 485 filings for me and my wife, my divorce certificate for my previous marriage was put in my files but it should have been with my wife's file per 485 intruction because she is the derivative applicant. If USCIS can't find it in my wife's file, will USCIS look for it in my file since we filed together?
If this is not required as initial evidence then they will issue an RFE and then you can send the documents later.
To fix the problem, could we resubmit my wife's 485 now and withdraw the one just submitted even though we don't have the receipt for it yet? or should we wait until we get receipt for the one just submitted and then resubmit her 485 application when my PD become current again? or could we just submit the missing file after we get the receipt and my PD becomes current?
Don't resubmit your wife's application, wait for a receipt
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Hope this helps

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
No, not the Michael Jackson, This is It. This is it for FY 2009 H-1B season. USCIS states that as of December 15, approximately 64,200 cases have been filed. That leaves about 800 slots left for H-1B applicants and perhaps several hundred on top of that since USCIS will need to account for potential denials or revocations of previously filed H-1B applications.
Back on April 1, 2009, a lot of speculation was made about how fast or slowly the H-1B quota would fill. Predictions from one day to 6 months were made. But it looks a lot clearer now... by Christmas or maybe, by the New Year. There really is no way to tell. Practitioners who focus on H-1B work like me, know that odds look dim for someone seeking a new H-1B and who hasn't started the process yet. Issues of delayed LCAs (labor condition applications) and employer FEIN (federal employer ID numbers) are wreaking havoc on how quickly anyone can prepare a new application to get in on this year's quota.
If you have not been able to file an H-1B yet. Call us about planning your case for April 1, 2010. It's never too early, but it can be too late. ---ecf

What is your LC Priority date? Many of my friends had used LC Sub with PD earlier to Dec 2004 and all their applications were approved in TSC. The yardstick for transfer of LC sub cases from TSC to NSC is mystery and we have to find a way to solve it.

And now for some good news.....The New York Times and the St. Petersburg Times reported two separate indidents of penalties and [prison sentences imposed on people who provided fraudulent immigration services to foreign nationals.
The NYT article (http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/01/3-million-judgment-in-immigration-fraud-case/?scp=2&sq=immigration&st=cse) describes how Miriam Mercedes Hernandez was ordered to pay $3 million in fines and restitution to her victims. Ms. Hernandez charged her victim up to $15,000 per person to help them get permanent residence or citizenship within eight month but never performed the services she claimed.
As the article states
Immigration fraud, often orchestrated by immigrants, has proliferated across the country, victimizing people desperate to gain legal residency or citizenship. Law enforcement officials say such schemes are particularly difficult to uncover and prosecute because many victims are in the country illegally and are hesitant to seek help from the authorities for fear of deportation.
Under state and federal law, only lawyers or representatives accredited by the Justice Department can represent people before the immigration authorities. Anyone providing immigration services must also comply with strict rules governing contracts and advertising.
The St. Petersburg Times article (http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/owner-of-clearwater-immigration-services-firm-gets-prison-for-false-asylum/1077161)describes a Clearwater woman who was ordered to 5 years in prison for filing false asylum claims. She was also ordered to forfeit $800,000 in profits. The defendant filed 274 asylum applications with false allegations of persecution.

HI,
I received a 500$ check for apartment referral , I am planning to give the entire amount to the person who took the apartment. I was wondering if during the tax return filing I should be reporting this as an income and if yes should I be deducting the tax amount from the 500$ as I will be paying taxes on it.
Any information is appreciated.
