This law only applies to H1-B filing fees paid to USCIS. Your employer is still legally allowed to collect any attorney fees for filing your petition from you.

Could you tell us in which service center your I-485 was?

I'm not an expert but from what I have read on various sites, nobody really knows. The thought is that the Nurse Relief bill stands little chance on it's own but may be bundled with something else to pass it.
I was told by my agency that if CIR passes, it will lift nurses out of the EB catagory and they will all be current. I have tried to find clarification on this but I don't think it is possible to speculate at this time.
I think the Healthcare reform is the first issue and then CIR will be addressed.
I have seen the figure 20,000 extra visas per year bandied round, these would be for the nurse only and the familly members would not take up any of this number. I have no idea how many nurses are waiting so don't know how this will impact on the overall figures - if indeed it ever comes to fruition.
I'm in turmoil over this as I had anticipated a lengthy wait and have embarked on a training programme to become a nurse practitioner and now worry I won't be able to complete it.
Being realistic, I would think if all EB visas become available overnight it will be sometime to process a large number, so it could take a good 12 months to get to my PD Jan 09 - I hope.
As I said at the start I am no expert so am only conveying my understanding and would welcome anyone who can correct any misunderstanding on my part.

Hello, All buddies:
My case is a little special:
After my wife (H-1B) filed I-140/I-485, I got EAD in Dec 2006, and I (H4)started to work by using EAD from Jan 2, 2007. On May 10, 2007, we received I-140/I485 denial letter. we filed a reopen and reconsideration for I-140 denial. I was still using that EAD for work (it is vaild from Dec 2006-Dec 2007) during that time. In November 27. 2007, I changed my visa from H4=>H1.(I was not being asked by USCIS to go aborad for re-stamping H1, anyway it is approved). The USCIS denied our Reopen and Reconsideration for I-140 again later in March 2008.
Now the comany sponsor me to apply for EB2 green card.
Usaually, when using EAD, your status is AOS, and when I-140/I485 denied,
you lose your status. In my case, from May 10-Nov 27, I maybe already lose
my status. however, H4=>H1 is OK without any problem.
My question
1.
I worried that in the future, in the stage of waiting for I-485 approval, does USCIS can find out that I have the above problem between May 10-Nov 27, (it is over 180 days)?!
--However, during that period, I have a I-140 reopen and reconsideration case pending?--does this mean legally staying in US? (even it denied again later)
2.
If this is a problem, do I had better go home country/re-entry US once to clean these mess?
3.
However, I am over 180 days, is that possible that I can not come back?
Thank you very much in advance.
Jerry

No active members.
I had 3 of my co-workers in IV and they are no longer here. What ever i did before for IV is with the help of the university students and most of them i know left after their graduation or ready to leave in the next few months.
As always there are other members who are in IV and they do not want to participate in the IV activities. All they want is to get the information from IV forums.

DHS has publicized initiatives to enhance the E-verify program here. (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=70beadd907c67210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) The initiatives include:
(1) a new agreement with the Department of Justice that will streamline the adjudication process in cases of E-Verify misuse and discrimination;
(2) an informational telephone hotline for employees to provide a more timely, effective and seamless customer experience for workers seeking E-Verify information; and
(3) new training videos focusing on E-Verify procedures and policies, employee rights and employer responsibilities in English and Spanish.
The DHS's fact Sheet answers questions such as when and why E-Verify will share information with DOJ, what information it will share, what videos are available and where, how the employee hotline will work, what issues it will address, etc.
For more information on E-Verify, see my prior blog posts here (http://martinvisalaw.blogspot.com/search/label/e-verify).

I had the same case. My attorney refused to tell me the case number for my labor because according to him my application was owned by my company and they didn't want us (applicants) to know our case numbers. I tried looking for any alternatives, but nothing worked. As few people suggested me, try contacting BEC directly.. and may be they'll send you some snapshot or something, but i guess even if they do.. they'll send it to the attorney, not to you directly.
Neway, finally I got my labor certified last month.

12- Feb 3 my Lawyer surprised me and told me that I have an interview in Hartford,CT even tho she changed every thing to MI. She said she has the proof that she changed the address but it didn't update in the system and she blamed the system. she said she is going to reschedule my appointment to MI and she said the are going to send me a new notice in 2 to 3 weeks.
13- Feb 8 2010 they ordered my EAD card.
14- Feb 9 they mailed me a notice that they approved my I-765.
15- My lawyer said they sent my EAD card and the notice to my old address in CT and she said they went back to them and they will re send it to my new address in MI.

One lost his job and opted for subsidized COBRA. After one month he got job from small company. New employer does not pay for health insurance and insurance premium is more than subsidized COBRA premium.
In this case, Is it ok to continue using subsidized COBRA even after getting new job?
Thanks,

Guys/Gals,
Do you know that if i become a named Plaintiff in 485 fiasco lawsuit and the lawsuit drags for a Year ( just vague timeline) does that imapairs my ability to file a fresh new 485 application if my PD becomes CURRENT ?
I'm also assuming that USCIS would not return my Package sent on July 2nd since i'm the middle of a live lawsuit as a plaintiff.
Thoughts ? Knowledges ?
Thanks,
Diptam

I am an American who has been a french man for the past 3 1/2 years. We met in college which he had a student visa to attend. Afterwards we moved together for him to get a job. At that time he still had a valid student visa and an OPT. We decided to move to France, but now after a year, I am ready to go home. We were PACSed (like a civil union) in France, but it is not valid in the states. I have read many things saying my boyfriend would need an H1B visa to work and stay. I have spent the past 2 days searching for companies that might sponsor him, which I have found none. He is a college graduate of East Tennessee State University, with a bachelor degree in business management. I have talked to people that all say to just get married but being 22 and 24 years old we want to wait and I don't want to say we got married for him to live in the states. My question is what are really his options? I would love to come back to the states ASAP but I want him there too. Are there lists of companies hiring and sponsoring H1B visas? Thank you so much for any help! It is very much appreciated!!

Couple of questions folks:
1. Should H1 B Job and GC Job be related? I am going for an H1 B extension based on approved I 140.
2. Can we consider Software Quality engineer on H1B and Software engineer on GC related?
The NAICS occupational codes for
Software Quality Engineer is 541511
Software Engnieer is 541710
Can we consider them related for AC 21 purpose. I so not have the approved labor or I 140.
3. Currently am on H1 which is going to expire next month with my current employer and had my GC filed as a software engineer. I am planning to move over to the client where right now am working as a contractor. I am being offered a position as Software Quality engineer.
Now, do I use the H1 extension and go on to the client or use EAD? If I go onto the client on H1 extension, what happens to the GC process and my EAD?
When I leave the company and if the current employer withdraws the I 140, am I ok?

I am happy to read this. My observation is that Indian-American US citizens generally don't care about the Indians who are going through the process of immigration. In November 2005 when some one approached IAFPE with retorgression problem, their NC chapter conducted a seminar in Raleigh and some 100+ members did sign a petition. But they handed over petition to Bobby Jindal and it looks like from what is reported elsewhere on this site, he belongs to anti immigrant camp. But except this seminar even this organization did not take more interest in this issue. But I hope India Community Center has shown way and more Indian-American as well as Chinese associations would come forward to support the issue. Can some one approach Asia Society in DC who last week organised a speech by President Bush?

Hi Guys
I went to local USCIS office today and asked about my case status. My I-485 was filled on 08Feb07 in EB2 category. A lot of people who have fillled I-485 after me, have already received green cards.
The Immigration lady was very nice and she told me that my case can not be approved as my name check is still pending with FBI. The name check was initiated on 24Feb07. She created a service ticket for me providing a target date of middle of next month. The ticket said that "Please approve asap after getting clearance from FBI". I do not know what does that mean? Still trying to figure out???
Then I asked about name check status of my dependants. She mentioned that their name check has been resolved which is different from cleared. She created a different SR for my dependants requesting Approval of Green cards as name check has been resolved again giving me mid of next month as target date. Does it mean that my depandants can get approval before my approval?
Gurus Any idea what should I expect. Do I need to continue to follow up with FBI and senators regarding my name check and collecting information for case file?
Regards
AnnieO

Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer Has Just Posted the Following:
Effective January 4, 2010, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Center for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS/CDC) is removing HIV from the list of communicable diseases of public health significance and references to HIV from the scope of medical examinations for foreign nationals.
Until the rule goes into effect, non-citizens who are HIV-positive cannot be admitted into the U.S. unless the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grants a waiver. Once the rule goes into effect on January 4, 2010, HIV infection will no longer be defined as a communicable disease of public health significance, immigrant visa applicants who are required to undergo a medical screening exam will no longer be tested for HIV, a waiver for entry into the U.S. will no longer be necessary, and HIV-positive visa applicants will not be found ineligible for visas under Section 212(a)(1)(A)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Although foreign nationals with HIV who apply for visas will no longer be ineligible under INA Section 212(a)(1)(A)(i), they still must overcome the public charge under INA Section 212(a)(4) by demonstrating to the consular officers that they will have the means of support in the U.S. and that they will not need to seek public financial assistance. Please visit CDC’s Web site (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/laws_regs/fed_reg/remove-hiv/final-rule-hiv.htm) for more information.
