If you are in an apartment complex that offers cash bonus for referrals, ask the manager to apply it towards the rent and not give you a bonus. That way, it is not counted as income but a reduction in rent for the next month and avoids all taxation issues crap.

Tecnically you dont have any visa number available now.since you are transfering your priority date to eb2.until they make decission on your I-140 they will not process your 485.This is my opinion only.Talk to good lawyer take the second opnion onthis before you are out of time.never know what april 08 bulletin has in store for eb3.

Hi,
My wife was pregnant when we did the July 2007 485 filing and now is being asked for the TB Test. It says X ray is mandatory on the letter from USCIS. The Immi DOctor said its really not and really depends on the skin test - so he will write and take care of that in the letter.
Next thing is that I am not with the same employer who I was with when I filed 485 in July 2007. Thus dont have an attorney any more. Do I need to send the response with a G28 form with no Attorney representation from now on OR do I just reply with no G28 form to indicate I no longer have Legal representation?
Whats the right way of handling this?
USCIS regs require skin test results. The easiest way to take care of the RFE is to do what they ask for.
As for G-28, you should send a new G-28 with your name as both representative and applicant to the service center where I-485 is pending.

Looks like a tough little guy to capture. The way things are lined up, I think you could successfully clone out the branches in front of him. I'd leave the others. Any more sharpening would over-sharpen thetail. Although you could copy the layer, apply more sharpening to the layer, then mask out everything except the parts of the head you'd like to change.

Recently I renewed my Advance Parole (AP), USCIS renewed it for 9 months only. Is it possible to check with USCIS to get a 1 year AP.
Thanks!
You must have applied 120 days in advance or many days in advance before old AP expiry. USCIS issues AP from the date it was approved so you tend to lose some months. I have heard some other members include a cover letter which says AP start date should be from date of expiry of old AP. Since you already got the document, I doubt you can do much about it. You may lose 2-3 months just trying send it back and requesting it to be corrected. I guess next time when you renew keep the cover letter in mind.

If the cruise goes outside of US territorial waters, everyone on the ship needs to show eligibility to re-enter the US on return. This is true even if the ship does not make any port call in a non-US territory.
In your case it looks like the ship even makes a stop at BC. Irrespective of whether the ship makes the stop or whether you get out of it or not, the fact that it goes out of US waters is what matters.
So yes, you will have problems coming back if you go on this cruise.
You can however fly to Alaska and come back (like a domestic flight) without any problems, as long as it is a non-stop flight from the US to Alaska (no stops in Canada).

I need some advice.
I have a PD of November 9th 2001 (EB3).
My 140 and 485 was filed on August 2003.
My 140 was approved in Feb 2004.
I am now retrogressed with the November Visa bulletin showing an April 22nd 2001 PD for EB3.
As we can all see EB3 is move very very slowly and probably will continue this way (I hope I am wrong), while EB2 is already current for my PD.
From my information and some threads on this forum. I believe I have the option of filing for an EB2, while maintaining my current PD.
My Questions:
1. Does it make sense for me to refile in EB2, given my situation? PD Nov 2001 in EB3.
2. Can I apply for EB2 through the same company. (my current company)?
3. What is the process of doing so (EB3 to EB2)? Would I have to refile for labor, 140 and 485, or is their a way I could directly file for I485, since my I140 is approved and I am in the same company.
4. Would the EB2 case be a new case altogether, i.e. not related to my existing EB3 case again providing the fact that I have NOT changed employers?
5. Would I be able to use the experience I have gathered in my current job (5.5 years) in the EB2 conversion.
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks

While its true, a cousin of my mine applied when PD was not current and got her EAD while her husbands 485 was pending (still pending)
Now, its a different issue that she/he get RFE whenever they apply for EAD renewal and once had to do a MTR.
I can only guess that if the adjudicator checks the date of application before approving the 485, they might be in trouble!

Immigration Law from Houston Immigration Lawyer - Annie Banerjee Has Just Posted the Following:
There are only 65,000 visas given for regular H-1Bs and 20,000 for holders of US Master's Degree. As of July 09, only 24,800 regular petitions were filed and 10,600 US Master's petition were filed. The reason for this slow filing is two fold.
Heading into a deeper recession, the economy is definitely a factor. Unlike what most people think, Companies would rather hire US workers, and not pay the $2320/- filing fees plus attorney's fees.
However there are some professions which have a shortage in the US. That is true of computer professionals. But the computer professional market has been bruised by a poorly conceived and legally impermissible memo that CIS promulgated on January 08, 2010. The CIS is their infinite wisdom deemed that professionals need to be "controlled" directly by the petitioning company.
The IT business typically have contracts that go through tiers--- from the petitioning company to the end user. The CIS thinks that this creates "job shop" a four letter word to them.
The Jan 08 memo is startling in how unconstitutional it is---- how it totally disregards the rule of law. The class action lawsuit against it will hopefully see the end of the memo. Meanwhile software companies are outsourcing their business elsewhere.
However if there is a contract using an intermediary, control can be shown if another employee of the same H-1B employer works for the end user and actually supervises the H-1B beneficiary.
For instance if Company A, the H-1B employer has a contract with Company F and Company F has a contract with the end user, Company Bigshot. If Company A has employee X who works for Big Shot too, who supervises employee Y, who is the beneficiary, then control can be established under the January 08 memo. Of course all companies have to provide a ton of document to prove the case.

My wife graduated in December from an ADN program in the US. She passed her NCLEX last month and has been working as an RN since then. She is working on an EAD based on my 485 application.
I believe a GNM and B'sc (Nursing) will both work in the US (From my reading only 1 state South Dakota exclusively requires BSN), but for foreign qualified nurses in addition to the education they require minimum 1 yr clinical care experience before sitting for the exam. They also will need to be qualified as RN's by their respective state nursing board or counsil in India.
You should post your questions on this forum. It is very informative on various aspects of the Nursing profession

We have seen many recent cases where the employer revokes I-140 and that causes inadvertent issues with a pending AOS application.
With the economy worsening, several companies are going to be forced to lay off employees, many in an amicable way. Also many small companies do not know the legalities and just revoke I-140 to be on the safe side.
I have heard over an over again that companies are not required to revoke I-140, but is there some official documentation that says so? If we have that handy, then in case of a layoff we could point them to the documentation and request them to NOT revoke the I-140 petition.
I tried to look around, but couldn't find any. Does anyone else know?

if i use EAD for a part time job, does the H1B visa status become invalid?
yes. look up the archives, this has come up quite a few times. Some people say going from EAD to H1 is a one-way street and coming back requires new H1 subject to cap. Many others (including my attorney) say that you can come back on new H1 (or even existing H1 petition if its not expired) without being subject to quota/cap. Reactivating the H1 does require a trip out and back into the US.

I entered into my 7th year few months ago and I have an approved I-140 and also 3 year extension.
I dont have any documents of my approved labour or I-140 and I dont expect to get it from my employer either.
Q1) In case I change my employer and go for stamping, will he ask me for any of the above documents as approved I-140 or Labour?
q2) In case I happen to start my GC process again( assuming in yr 2007 in EB3), will how long will it take ( approx) for my PD to become current ?

hello folks..
I was on H1.. but i quit my job and i am currently enrolled as a Full time student.
I need to go to Mexico as part of my Study program....
I have received the change of status from USCIS..but i need to get my passport stamped..
I have not been successful in getting an appointment in Canada....
>>is there a wait time in any canadian consulates...for more than 2-3 days????
>> Can i go to mexico and get the visa stamped during my stay there..is it risky???
inputs Pleaseeeee..
i am not sure you can get an F1 stamp in either Mexico or Canada. You can only get an F1 stamp in these countries if you already have an F1 stamp, but it expired and you did not hold any other non-immigrant status in the interim.
