I am sure the idea is nice, but have you seen the immigration support polls among American citizens?
with struggling economy and jobs, less and less Americans are supporting any kind of immigration. Legal, or Illegal, they dont care. No one, I mean no one will support us in a way that can be heard by media and the people in high seats. This is our battle and we must fight it alone. Others will help only if we show green, or some kind of benefit of their own.

In that case may be for CP 22 Feb 2002 will be considered as cut off date & for AOS USCIS bulletin date will be considered. --
USCIS does not publish a different bulletin. Only the Dept. of State publishes the bulletin and this is used by both the embassies for CP cases and by USCIS for AOS cases.

Thanks @hibworker
Have you tried this option before.
You can use existing visa + new approval notice. Make sure that on arrival the I-94 is stamped until expiration on new approval notice and not the visa expiration date.

Hello Guys,
I have been working with my current employer for last 3 years as Software engineer and filed for PERM last October (18th Oct 2007). My six year H1-B limit expires in January 2010.
Now I'm getting an opportunity to move into Technical Program Management internally (within the same company).
I have couple of questions based on the above scenario
1. Is it safe to take the new opportunity since I have to start over my PERM process (given the backlog in Atlanta center) and also given the amount of time left in my H1-B (approx 15 months left)?
2. If I file a new PERM application now, can I use the experience that I gained in this company as part of the app OR should I use only my previous employer's experience (which was 3-4 years ago and has little relation with what I might do in program management) for the PERM app?
Your replies are greatly appreicated and thanks for your time
1. You can not use the experience you gained in this present job.
2. Not sure if you need to start new PERM since you are with the same company

Hi sir,
I have some queries regarding my journey. I just wanted to clarify them. Actually I got visa in Sept,2008 and expires on Sept 2011. I am planning to come in Feb,2011.Will I face any issues regarding my visa at the port of entry, because it expires in 8 months. So I am worried regarding that please clarify my query?
If I face any issues over there what will be my next step to proceed?Please suggest me.
Thanks and Regards,
Kadiv
What type of visa are you planning to enter on? If on H1, you will be required to show proof of employment at the port of entry. If you are coming through a consulting company to work at a Client's site, then there is a possibility that you will also be asked for a Client letter, especially because its been a while since your VISA was issued. Make sure to carry all supporting documents with you to show at the POE, if asked.

I have applied AP for my family 3 weeks before. My wife needs to go India by end of next month. If AP approval doesn't come to our hand by next month, can she leave the country? If she shouldn't, what are the alternate options? I appreciate your help.
It is not advisable for her to leave the country without AP on hand. It is a risky proposition. Normally USCIS checks internally the resident status of the person and if they come to know that she left the country already, they may say/ consider that she left USA with the intention of abandoning her AOS case and issue denial for her I-485.
PS: You can encourage me to contribute more to the forum by awarding Green points, if you find this post as useful and informative.

U.S. Department of Labor has implemented a new integrated online system � known as the iCert Portal � through which employers can submit applications for permanent labor certification, labor condition applications (LCAs) and other applications for immigration-related DOL programs. In addition, the agency will introduce new editions of Form ETA-9089, the PERM labor certification application, and have already introduced Form ETA-9035, the labor condition application. iCert has already replaced the method of LCA filing for H-1B. The new iCert system begins to accept LCAs as of July 1, 2009. Employer and attorneys as the case may be, can still use the old LCA account but cannot submit new LCA. New LCA has to be filed from iCert.
Following are the new changes which has taken place:
- The new LCA requires writing the SOC (ONET/OES) code and the occupation title for the job.
- The new LCA has a section for basis for the visa classification supported by the application. There are the following categories:
a. New employment;
b. Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer;
c. Change in previously approved employment;
d. New concurrent employment;
e. Change of employer;
f. Amended petition.
- One has to indicate the total number of H-1B/H-1B1 (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) non-immigrant workers.
- The new LCA also requires, in the employer information section, to indicate the Trade name/doing business as (DBA), if applicable, the old LCA does not have this requirement.
- In the new LCA, one is required to write NAICS code.
- There is a new section in the new LCA - Employer point of contact information, which requires to indicate the following: full contact�s name; contact�s job; contact�s address; contact�s telephone number; contact�s e-mail address.

Hi,
I applied for H1 last year and got H1 approved for 9 months. (they counted all my stay on H4). Now H1 expired on 25th Nov and applied for H4 on 15th Nov before H1B expires.
I wants to take advantage of New memo of USCIS. Can I apply for H1B with different employer than earlier one while my H4 case is pending?
Or shall I wait until I gets H4 approval and they apply for H1B.
Please help me on this.
Thanks,
Please put this question in IV attorney call... It's complex and a new rule ...so I would suggest anyone on the forum not to speculate.

USCIS has recently published a new fact sheet of common questions and answers for members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Immigration%20Information%20for%20Members%20of%20t he%20U.S.%20Armed%20Forces%20and%20their%20Familie s.pdf) The fact sheet contains the most frequently asked questions that USCIS receives.
The fact sheet is worth reading if you are in the Armed Forces because the answers to some of the questions are different (and usually more advantageous) to members and/or dependents of those in the Armed Forces. For instance, if you are a civilian, obtained your green card through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen and you have been married for less than two years, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f858d59cb7a5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) to remove the conditional residence and obtain your permanent green card. You must file this form even if you intend on applying for citizenship a year later. (Persons who are married to U.S. citizens may apply for citizenship in three years.)
Members of the armed forces do not have to file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence to remove conditional residence obtained through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen, if the foreign born spouse was inducted or enlisted in the military and is applying for naturalization based on qualifying military service. Thus, military personnel are permitted to "skip a step" and do not need to file form I-751.
Additional questions and answers and helpful email addresses to USCIS liaisons are included on the fact sheet.

You can extend apply for AP (Advance Parole) ;-) at anytime provided you have your 485 pending so there should be no "risks"
only risk i see is that what if you have to travel and for some reason your H1 stamping gets delayed (if you have a AP you will be safe there)
Also their processing times keep on fluctuating - what if you later down the road are
in need of AP apply for one and then dont get it approved by the time you want to travel
Personally I prefer to just keep things simple and apply for AP renewals even though
I wont use them - just so that there is no "divergence" from the norm
Just so when USCIS officer is processing your case they wont have to think or
issue query to get clarification etc etc

Most of these employers have a standard templates for H1 application and all they do is FIND & REPLACE to modify it to suit each individual applicant. In my case the person who was modifying it for me changed my Name in most places except one place where it was still saying the name of some other person. So the application was like this
This is visa petition for Mr XXX ..............
Mr XXX has degree in MS Comp Sci and Mr ABC has finished his undergraduate in .....
I had not seen this till the day I was leaving for Canada for my stamping & I panicked but then there was not much I could do so I decided to take a chance and the VO did not ask me for the petition and even if he has I am not sure how keenly he would have read it. It was a genune oversight not any falsification and definately I was not to be held responsible. But in your case since it is degree issue it is better to talk to a lawyer though statistically VO does not have time to read through the visa peition its just too long for the time they have allocated for the interview.

Is it possible to convert or interfile an existing EB based I-485 application to FB based I-485?
I have pending I-485 through an approved I-140 (EB). PD is not current. I recently got married and my spouse is a US Citizen. We are considering pursueing FB application. Reading through the forums I gather that my spouse has to file I-130 and I file for I-485. My question is regarding I-485.
If I have to file for a new I-485, what happens to the existing one? Do I have to get new medical exam? Can I use existing AP, EAD or can I use EAD/AP that I currently have from my EB based application?
If an interfiling is possible, when should this be done - concurrently along with I-130 filing or we have to wait till I-130 is approved? Also what is the procedure for "interfiling"?
Which option is better?
I think you need not file any new 485 based on the approval of I-130. Once the I-130 is approved, you need to notify the USCIS (where your 485 is pending) that your new I-130 will be the underlying approved immigration petition for the pending 485. Perhaps, some lawyers may answer for the exact procedure to do that.
