Here are the minutes and action items ---
1. Congressman/woman are to be focussed but Sen. Kennedy 's office is the most important to focus on.
2. AI: Call Sen.Kennedy's office and try to seek an appointment to explain our issues and make presentation. Aim for last week in January.
3. AI: Find out stance of congressman/woman from MA on immigration committee. If any of them are in immigration sub committee. Identify the counties which these lawmakers represent. This will be a good way to filter out the ones we do not have to concentrate on.
4. AI: Make a list of groceries and places frequently visited by immigrants who could become potential IV members.
5. AI: Refine the presentatioin on IV resources section and provide the first draft to rest of team for feedback - 2 weeks.
6. AI: To enquire about the cost involved in posting ad in India New England paper/media.(Cost can be shared among local state chapter members)
7. AI: To enquire about posting ad (one frame) in Belmont theatre where Indian movies are shown. (Cost can be shared among local state chapter members)
8. AI: All members: Publicity of IV using posters and flyers available in IV resource section. Also publicise on sites like immigrationportal.com etc.
Though action items are assigned to certain members, if there's a feeling that you can pitch in please do so.
Important updates from core member: CIR is on top of the list with Sen.Kennedy but the illegal issue is also going to catch up so we should initially push for CIR or Plan B would be to ask for our provisions to be included in a separate bill if CIR gets complicated and is time consuming.
Thanks to everyone who was able to make it. T

Few months ago, my company filed for my 7th year extension and USCIS approved the extension for only 8 months instead of 1 year (my I-140 hadn't been approved yet). My lawyers contacted USCIS for clarification and we finally heard back from them. They say that the approval of 8 months is correct and gave no explanation for why it was not for 1 year (which I would have qualified for since my LC was approved when the extension was filed).
Has anyone else experienced a similar thing?
Check with you employer on the validiity of the associated LCA. At the time of your H1 approval, there might have been only 8 months of validity left on the LCA. Other reason could be, assuming you are working for a consulting company, USCIS might have given you an extension till the end of the current project. I have seen several cases where USCIS only gave 6 month extensions because the project PO was only valid for 6 months.

"As a result, average processing times for certain application types may become longer. In particular, naturalization applications filed after June 1, 2007 may take approximately 16 - 18 months to process."
What are the chances for the people who applied on July 1 ?

Remember to point it out at FP, and they will also ask you to phone USCIS and correct it. You could phone USCIS first, and then you might find that FP has it already corrected in the computer.
Once USCIS update it they will send you a letter to say that they made a change to the file, this is just FYI.
My wife's DoB had a typo. It was spotted at FP office.
Of course I am assuming some obvious typo, not a FP notice for Jim Smith and your name is Ramkrishnan Singh. :-)

Get the police record and DA office record. . If the record shows that no charges were pressed, you can submit that. Check if DA's office can give you a letter.
You can also try obtaining a letter from the court indicating that their record did not have anything on you.

My EAD expires Oct 08 and my lawyer sent me the forms to file in and send it back to him to be filed in Aug 08. But it was delayed by me till last week and was filed yesterday. what are my chances of getting EAD and continue working. In June 08 i went to India and came back using AP so i am not in H1 (i assume).

Thanks:confused:

Whatever maybe the motivation, but I hope there are enough politicians like him who depend on immigrant votebanks to push for CIR. Not sure, CIR even if passed would do any good EB. :rolleyes:

According to a recent USCIS guidance an employer may not hire an H-1B worker prior to USCIS approving the H-1B petition unless the employee (i) is currently in H-1B status, or (ii) is the beneficiary of a timely filed H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) extension of status petition. If the employee is in another nonimmigrant status, such as F-1 (student) or L-1 (intracompany transfer), the employer must wait until USCIS approves the H-1B petition before hiring the foreign worker.
Under section 214(n) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, a worker who "was previously issued a visa or otherwise provided [H-1B] nonimmigrant status" is authorized to begin working upon the filing of an H-1B petition by his or her new employer. This provision is often referred to as H-1B portability. Congress passed the law to allow employers to hire H-1B workers without having to wait for the government to adjudicate the H-1B petitions (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html), a process that can often take several months.
The issue was raised to the USCIS Verification Division after employers received nonconfirmations from the E-Verify system when they hired H-1B workers under H-1B portability and the workers were not, at the time of hire, in H-1B status, or were not the beneficiaries of H-1B extension petitions. In the exchange, the USCIS Verification Division stated that the agency does not consider those employees to be work authorized. Please contact our office for further information.

I worked with them for almost a year and ran like anything.
They were paying me meager salary even I had a good rate.
They started GC when I asked, which was good
There health insurance sucked
They reduced my salary at the last moment when I gave notice to my last employer. Agreed to give a raise after 6 monhts, never did. When I asked again after 1 year, they wanted to give me 2K raise which was nothing. This was after end client raised the rate by $5/hr
Owner/sales guy are amway, they'll ask you to go to there meetings. Somehow, i saved myself :)
When I left, they canceled my health insurance from a month back even when they have deducted premium from my salary.When I threatened to log a case with DOL then they gave the money (which they deducted) back. Still, I had to pay medical expense for that month (fortunetly it was less then the premium)

I have started a new thread to remind everyone (who has not yet contributed) to contribute for the just concluded Advocacy day.
Take some funds from any money that you put aside this year for charitable causes or temple donations. All that you contribute is money well spent - as eventually it would benefit a number of people and entire families. So helping people better their lives is like contributing to charitable causes. Even $50 is good to start with. Hope that motivates all.

Hello, I lost my job today, but I have H1B. So what's the time gap for finding a new job?
Thank you very much.
You should find a new job before you are "off the roles" from your current employer.
One would be out of status the moment "employer-employee" relation ceases/terminates.

Kudos to Senator Chuck Schumer for raising the profile of a serious issue - discrimination against same-sex partners in US immigration law. Even as several states are enacting marriage equality laws and anti-discrimination laws are moving forward around the US (including here in my home town of Memphis), the antiquated Defense of Marriage Act prevents USCIS from treating these families fairly. The UAFA would be a huge step forward. The Senate will have its first hearing on the bill tomorrow. My friend Chuck Kuck, president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, has posted his written statement here. Thanks to reader...

I visited the country first ~8 yrs ago as a visitor. I got a job offer from a desi company and they filed for my H1. I was never informed about status of the H1 petition. I was informed I am in status and it was OK to stay longer than the time allowed by my I-94 (in a visitor status).
In the process, I ended up staying about 10 days longer, but then I returned to India, and came back after a couple of months, again as a visitor.
Now I'm on a H1B (8th year) with I-140 approved, but haven't traveled at all, and would like to get a visa issued/stamped in my passport.
I have since lost touch with that employer and they don't seem to be in business any more, nor can the owner be contacted.
I recently learnt from someone that the petition was in fact approved.
I called USCIS, and I was told the employer who filed the petition can file a form (I-824?) to get a duplicate copy, but they need to attach a copy of the original as proof!! *Or I can file a request under Freedom of Information Act*, they're not sure how long that'll take to get processed.
Questions:
1) Will the overstay become a problem? I do not have any documentation of the filing/status/approval of the H1 petition filed at that time.
2) How else can I get a copy of the Approval Notice to prove I wasn't out of status during the less than 2 weeks of overstay about 8 years ago?
3) Will this become a problem with my I-485 (whenever that will be filed with a PD of early 2006)?
Thanks,
Jazz

1. Including Advertisement, web advertisements, etc, it should take about 3 months for filing PERM
2. Chicago Center is faster.
3. No issues for 2 companies filing PERM LCs for you.
