Here we go again. When Obama's Democratic Party controlled the House and Senate, Congress failed to pass an immigration bill that would have provided a path to Residency and later Citizenship for some illegal immigrants who entered America as children. The DREAM Act died in the Senate in December due to a Republican filibuster.
With Republicans now controlling the House and holding a stronger minority in the Senate, the chances for any comprehensive immigration reform are considered non-existent.
Obama travels to Texas on Tuesday to make the case that his administration has worked hard to secure the border and the time has come for Congress to deal with the 10.8 million people already in the U.S. illegally.
He will also argue that those who care about this issue need to step up pressure on Congress to act, a point he has made privately in a string of meetings with business executives, evangelical leaders and Hispanic celebrities.
Many activists blame the White House for not making the issue more of a priority, and Tuesday's speech is an effort, in part, to shift attention to Republicans who are blocking action.
Many Republicans and some Democrats oppose the measures Mr. Obama favors that would create a path to citizenship for some people who entered the country illegally, saying it would reward law-breaking. Opponents also say not enough has been done to secure the border with Mexico. The White House says it has put more "boots on the ground" along the southwest border than ever before and has cracked down on employers who hire undocumented workers.
The administration has also deported a record number of illegal immigrants, a point that has angered Hispanic activists. Federal officials say deportations of illegal immigrants hit a record 392,000 in fiscal year 2010.
Hoping to push through the political stalemate, Mr. Obama has held private meetings to discuss immigration with political figures such as New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, business leaders such as John Engler, president of the Business Roundtable; and religious leaders such as Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals.

i'm in same situation. Lawyer said filing I-130 is not considered as another GC application. it's just petition and doesn't affect EB processing. even we don't need to mention it in EB I-485. both are seperate things.
EB3 is very slow so batter you file I-130.
i filed I-130 in May 2006 and EB2 i-485 in Dec 2004. still waiting :(

They ask you to write A# or Alien# but not the Receipt Number.
Check out the A# in 485/EAD/AP/140 - they should be ideally in synch. If not put the A# from the 485 application because that overrides everything and is still pending....
Hi Guys,
In the instructions to file EAD they say to print name and alien receipt number on the back of the photos.
What number should we write? I-485 receipt number or receipt number for last EAD?
Can someone please respond?
Thanks

You have to withdraw old LC while filing the PERM hence prepartion can be parallel. It is better for you to file PERM ( you get it in 50 days or earlier) & get 140 ( 2 months after LC) & therefater apply for 3 years H! B extn.
You will not have to go through H1B circus, if you & others support IV & atleast generate $$ which is really driving our effort other than core members.
Best of luck

If the employer agrees not to revoke the 140, Can I change the employer after getting EAD. 485 application is pending but less than 180 days.
My project is getting over, and it seems hard to find a h1b job.
pls advice
I think your employer should cooperate with you by not withdrawing your I-140.

I 140 if filed in premium- USCIS sends an recipt email with recipt number to your lawyer,if he shares that email with you u can check the status online on USCIS website .
It takes anywhere from 5 days to 15 days to get any response.
If your case is straight forward u get approval within 5 to 8 days depending upon the workload and the service center. Also depends upon how your case is positioned, category and documents provided with the petition application.
I 485 i have no idea but if ur PD is current should not take long,my friend got his card in 20 to 25 days max but he had not filed concurrently as he had observed concurrent filing leads to a delay in 485 process.

Hi,
I recently traveled to Canada by land for 1 week . When I went to Canada the canadian authorities did not take my I 94. When I returned from canada, the US officials did not give me a new I 94, will this be a problem ?
Thank you for your time.
If the travel is less then 30 days to Canada or Mexico you do not need Visa Stamping also. It is called Automatic Visa Revalidation.

Hi,
I was on regular H1B for three years until mid 2008 when I changed to H4 status. Now, if I want to work for a non-profit organization, does the org have to just transfer the original H1B or file a new non-profit petition. If it is the latter (new petition) what happens to my original H1 approval? If I want to go back to the for-profit world do I need to apply for a new H1 or will my original H1 validity continue??
Thanks
AFP
I do not have answers to your question but have few questions of mine
1. Can non-profit H1 be transferred to regular H1?
2. While non-profile H1 is in extension process, can new regular H1 be filed?

What does this mean?
On September 10, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I765 APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.
Does it mean that they mailed the letter that it is approved or did they mail the card?
If your current status says approval notice sent that means your EAD card is on it's way. Wait for approx a week to receive it in your mailbox.

they are decreasing from 140,000 to 90,0000....
note that even though this bill is just not good enough for relief that fact is that the number of GC available to a backlogged country like india goes up about 150% under the new 190,000...this does not include the 14,000 additional numbers from the MBS.
Why?
only for backlog, so no EB1 (28.6%) and no EB2 except india and china. also country quota increased to 10%
so available numbers eg india increase from 5,600 to 9,000 (+14,000 MBS)
i put up a detailed calculation for this earlier on somewhere
search for it if you are really interested.

Thank you for the immediate response.

The MS Office and Apple stamps had some modification done to them. Correct me if I am wrong, but it just seems as though you pasted the band's logo into a black background.

Dear XXXXX:
Thank you for contacting me in support of recapturing unused
employment-based immigrant visas and imposing fees for
immigration services for intracompany transferees. I apologize for
the delay in my reply, but I appreciate hearing from you and I
welcome the opportunity to respond.
I agree that the U.S. government should recapture unused
employment-based immigrant visas and impose immigration service
fees for those visas. As you may know, the United States Senate
version of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, S. 1932, included a
provision that would recapture up to 30,000 H-1B visas that had not
been issued in prior years. Also, S. 1932 would impose an additional
$500 fee to obtain these recaptured visas. These provisions were not
included in the House-passed version of the Deficit Reduction Act of
2005, H.R. 4241. Unfortunately, the Conference Committee, which
was responsible for resolving the differences between the House and
Senate versions of the bill, did not include this provision in the
final
version of S. 1932. The final version of S. 1932 passed in the House
by a vote of 216-214 on February 1, 2006. President Bush signed this
bill into law on February 8, 2006.
Please be assured that I will keep our shared support for
recapturing unused employment-based visas and imposing fees for
immigration services for these visas very much in mind as Congress
considers immigration issues.
Thank you again for contacting me. As your Representative in
the United States Congress, it is a privilege and an honor to serve you
and to act as your voice in Washington. Please feel free to contact me
again with any other issue or matter that concerns you. You may also
want to visit my website at www.house.gov/rothman where you can
sign up for my e-newsletter and keep current with my latest
Congressional activities and policy statements.
Sincerely,
Steven R. Rothman
Member of Congress
