The Swine Flu saga continues. Mexico reported three new deaths from the swine flu epidemic Saturday and urged citizens not to let their guard down against a virus that has killed 19 in people in Mexico and is spreading across Asia and Europe.
Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova said Mexico's confirmed swine flu cases jumped to 473, including the 19 deaths. The previous death toll in Mexico was 16. A Mexican toddler also died in Texas days ago, for a worldwide total of 20.
In accordance with measures announced by the Government of Mexico to limit the congregation of large crowds to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus, the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City and the U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juarez advise that most consular services are being suspended. The dates listed below may change. The Embassy and Consulate General will monitor the H1N1 situation continuously during the week and will update information on our website if the dates of the suspension of service change.
Immigrant Visa operations in Ciudad Juarez have been suspended from April 30 to May 8. Immigrant visa and waiver applicants who have April 29 appointments should proceed to the Consulate. The panel physicians are closed. Those applicants who have consular immigrant visa appointments after May 8 and have not yet obtained their medical exams should not come to Juarez until the panel physicians have re-opened.
All non-immigrant visas operations in Mexico have been suspended until May 6.
Consular services for U.S. citizens throughout Mexico will be limited to emergency assistance and to citizenship applications (passports and consular reports of birth abroad, or CRBA). Anyone with passport or CRBA appointments are encouraged but not required to reschedule to a later date. For more complete information on consular operations during the flu outbreak, as well as the latest travel advisory and warden messages, visit http://ciudadjuarez.usconsulate.gov/h1n1.html.

Why take risk ? File an LCA.
Anyway LCA is tied to work location, so you probably will have to file an LCA. --My guess

Hello Friends,
My wife is on F1, doing her masters and is done with her course work, just left with one project (2 credits). Her college has the option of getting CPT (curriculum practical training) signed till the time her masters is not complete and then she is allowed to work off campus for 40 hours (full time).
I have also filled for my 485 application, so I was wondering what is her status now after filling for 485 . Also is it fine if she gets her CPT signed now after filing I485. I just want to be sure that getting her CPT signed has no negative impact on our I 485.
Any suggestions or anyone in similar situation
Thanks!
I suggest you contact your lawyer to make sure it won't be a problem.
Working on CPT is part of maintaining F1 visa status and your case is same as being on F1 visa while ones I-485 is filed.

As a California immigration lawyer who files many asylum cases, I am used to thinking of a the United States as a place of refuge and to documenting the horrible country conditions of other countries. I have successfully represented applicants for asylum who feared staying in their countries because while serving in their countries' armies, they were harmed on account of their sexual orientation.
It is therefore rather surprising to come across a story of a U.S.soldier who is fleeing to Canada (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/11/20/refugee-board-soldier-lesbian.html) because she fears harm in the U.S. Army on account of her sexual orientation. According to CBC news, U.S. Army Pte. Bethany Smith fled Canada in September 2007 from a U.S. Army base in Fort Campbell, Ky. She applied for refugee status in October 2007, saying that she was harassed and threatened by fellow soldiers over her sexual orientation and feared that her life would be in danger if she were deported and returned to the army. The Canadian authorities initially rejected in her claim in February 2009. However, on appeal, the Federal Court of Canada held that the refugee board must reconsider the case again because the Board made several mistakes in initially reviewing her claim.
The Federal Court's decision (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Smith%20and%20the%20Minister%20of%20Citizenship%20 and%20Immigration.pdf)noted that the refugee board failed to fully consider the evidence pertaining to the situation of gays and lesbians in the U.S. Army to determine whether Pte. Smith could have availed herself of protection in the United States. The Federal Court also noted that the Board failed to determine whether Pte. Smith would be persecuted on account of her social group - as a lesbian in the U.S. Army if forced to return. There were other errors mentioned in the decision.
It is sad that the U.S. policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," is the basis of an asylum claim in Canada. Pt. Smith was only 19 years old when she fled to Canada. From everything I read, it appears that she wanted to serve in the U.S. Army and no real desire to leave the United States. At a time when we apparently need people to serve in the Armed Forces and in fact give non-citizens a way to immigrate to the United States faster for their service, it seems ridiculous that an American citizen should have to leave. It it is time to eliminate the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

My Client due to some reasons unable to offer fulltime position . But they are extending my project bt 2- 2 months . Now they extended till Aug 2009 . My visa is expiring in sep 2009 .
Should I ask my employer to file extention Now ? or should I file in August ?
If there is a chance that client will offer fulltime job in next 2 months, consider waiting till aug for h1 extesnion, otherwise file for extension now. CIS may need end client letter for H1 extension.

Yes, Finger prints are done in Oct 07
Make an infoPass appointment and go with the proof of travel emergency and your receipt notice. They might issue AP.
I will first check CISOmbudsman's web site's FAQ and USCIS Faq for this. But i can not do it at this time.

I added my older H1b case too of Dec 01 (i hadn't added such old case to my portfolio..didn't see need) and that had a LUD of 10/13/07 maybe due to my submitted cases of 140/ead/ap/485. Those had a LUD on 10/16/07 with notice date of 10/12.
seems like some batch work was done on the 2004 cases today.

Is there a way I can apply for a green card during residency for a future job two years down the road?
Same question came up for my wife in 2004 when she did not yet have a licence to practice dentistry and she wanted to apply as a dentist and our attorney told as that during LC when advertisments are placed at that time you should have the degree and the licence ready so as to apply for that particular job.My wife got her licence in 2005.Hope this answers your question.

I am posting this on behalf of a friend. They (husband/wife) got their green card approval last week, however they got 2 RFEs for their 2 kids. The RFE is about a vaccine called PNEUMOCOCCAL (PCV/PPV) that's not been administered for the kids. The RFE mentions the requirement for this vaccine but the doctor deemed it as NOT-AGE-APPROPRIATE in their filed medical forms.
Our guess is that when they actually administered the vaccine about a year or so ago, it was deemed "Not age appropriate" but now upon approval, the USCIS deems it necessary. I'd appreciate it if anybody with similar experience can post as to how they handled the situation or any insights into who to talk to is also much appreciated. The family is currently not in the country and therefore their options are limited in terms of talking to or meeting someone face to face. Also they need to respond to the RFE by June 24...
Thanks.

My current AP will be expiring this Dec, and my priority date is Jan 2006.
I have a wedding in Canada in January 2011. I would like to know if I need an Advance Parole to Canada then re-enter? Somehow I read somewhere about Canada and Mexico have different requirements.
Thanks for your input.
Yes, you WILL need AP. DO NOT leave without an APPROVED AP in hand, to Canada, as that will make your GC application deemed abandoned. Repeat, you need an APPROVED AP in hand, before you depart for Canada.

Can any answer this question or put our thoughts on this?
Now all EB categories being current most of us are applying for 485 so how does the Approval process work?
Is it the first come first out or
It depends on the Priority Date?
:confused:

Hunton Immigration and Nationality Law Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The U.S. Department of State has confirmed that contractors on a pre-approved list (http://www.huntonfiles.com/files/webupload/Immigration_DOS_KCC_Approved_Auditor_List_Aug_2010 .pdf)at the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) are now auditing approved nonimmigrant petitions -- including H-1B and L-1 petitions -- in order to verify that information contained in the petitions is correct. The audits are creating significant delays for petition-based visa applicants at embassies worldwide.
Auditors may make a "cold call" to the U.S. employer who filed the petition, asking about the company's activities, location, employees, shareholders, etc., and may also review the company's website or use Google Earth to confirm the existence of a facility in the location specified on the petition. Contractors may also ask employers about the beneficiaries of these petitions -- the foreign nationals whom the employer wishes to employ (or continue employing) in nonimmigrant status.
Following verification, the contractors will create new "base petitioner records" in the KCC's Petition Information Management Service (PIMS) database. Until KCC verifies the petitions and updates these records, no consular officer at a U.S. embassy abroad may issue a petition-based visa to an applicant. Consular officers are also instructed to question visa applicants further in order to determine if the beneficiary information in the updated PIMS record is correct and complete.
Any adverse information the KCC contractor learns during an audit call may lead to denial of a beneficiary's visa application, even based on a previously approved petition, and may also affect the approvability of future petitions. Therefore, a U.S. employer who receives such a call should contact immigration counsel prior to providing any information so that (a) the auditor's name and credentials can be compared against the approved list (http://www.huntonfiles.com/files/webupload/Immigration_DOS_KCC_Approved_Auditor_List_Aug_2010 .pdf); (b) counsel can be present on the call; (c) the employer can prepare adequately by reviewing the petition; and (d) the call can be documented appropriately.
