Thanks abhisam for your reply..
The last time i spoke with my lawyer he said. we dont the stautus of my brothers h1 yet as even thought they closed the dates in May they are holding some cases in case the existing cases which got receipt are denied then they will consider new cases from the lot.
I dont know what this means????
Is there a possibility of H1 cases are being in pending status without any receipt from USCIS.????

shruthi07,
Which state you are working in? If USCIS thinks Nebraska Service centre has the jurisdication for your I-485 based on Job location then their is nothing to worry.
Maybe your PD is current and USCIS wants to complete processing of your I-485.
I am in the same situation, my I-140 was approved from TSC about 3 months back in March 2008, and I-485 pending at NSC since august 2007. I work out of WA state.

WASHINGTON�In light of the recent earthquakes and tsunami in Japan, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reminds Japanese nationals of certain U.S. immigration benefits available upon request.
USCIS understands that a natural disaster can affect an individual�s ability to establish or maintain lawful immigration status. Temporary relief measures available to eligible nationals of Japan may include:
The grant of an application for change or extension of nonimmigrant status for an individual currently in the United States, even when the request is filed after the authorized period of admission has expired;
Re-parole of individuals granted parole by USCIS;
Extension of certain grants of advance parole, and expedited processing of advance parole requests;
Expedited adjudication and approval, where possible, of requests for off-campus employment authorization for F-1 students experiencing severe economic hardship;
Expedited processing of immigrant petitions for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs);
Expedited employment authorization where appropriate; and
Assistance to LPRs stranded overseas without immigration documents such as Green Cards. USCIS and the Department of State will coordinate on these matters when the LPR is stranded in a place that has no local USCIS office.
Visitors traveling under the Visa Waiver Program may visit a USCIS local office (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=e39c0b89284a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=e39c0b89284a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60a RCRD) for assistance. Japanese nationals who are at a U.S. airport may contact the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office there.

Hello there
I was in same boat except my extention is for 3 year. I asked Att. Ron same that my labor and I 140 is approved and what if I leave this company and join new one and current one withdraw all papers. As per RON once you have I 140 approved and even if company withdraw it u can get 3 years unlimited extention with new company as long as new company apply for GC. Doesnot mean u need anything approved but should be under process. PERM or I 140 OR I 485.

I have an appointment for H1B visa stamp @ the toronto consulate next week. This will be my second stamp (first one expired early this year).
I received a phone call from the consulate asking for my H1B receipt/notice dates and receipt number, etc...She told me that there is new rule where USCIS has to verify the I-797 petition even though you carry an original approval notice. With this rule in effect...she told me the passport wait time is miminum of 4 days.
I already booked my tickets 2 weeks ago. I'm confused. Has anyone else received a call or have recently obtain H1B stamp in toronto?
I was hoping to come back in few days and now it's going to cost me $$$$$. I wish NVARS told me this when I signed up for the appointment.
:(:(:(
This is the new rule and went into effect from last week of Nov. It is not only for the Consulate in Toronto but all US Consular posts in Canada atleast.

It looks like we just missed a great opportunity to post a legal immigration question on change.gov. The goods news is that they will roll this out next week. So if you want to submit a question, be ready!...I will be sure to bump this thread..
Go here and type "legal immigration" in the search questions field.
http://change.gov/page/content/20081211_openforquestions
I saw a few questions already posted about legal immigration reform. We should all register and vote for these questions(whenever they roll this out again next week). It takes less than a minute to register. All they ask for is your name, zip code and email address.
Mods, Please discard this if this idea has already been put forward.

My H-1B petition is currently under processing in Vermont sevice center.
The receipt status shows it was recieved on May 8th and currently pending.
The processing dates on the USCIS website show May 31st as the current date.
Any reason why I still didnt receive a decision from USICS for my H-1B Petition? Does this mean anything? Or can i still keep the hope that I may receive a decision from USCIS?
They usually try to approve most of the new H1B before 9/30. You might get it approved in this week.

Folks :
My paper EAD application has been rejected twice by USCIS. Here is the thread that discusses that :
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum70-self-filing-documents-forms-directions-mailing/1598364-ead-renewal-rejected-twice-need-advice.html
I have eFiled this time. So we'll wait and see.
I am now planning to request expedited processing of my application. For an expedited processing to be approved, it needs to satisfy atleast one of the following criteria according to USCIS...
1) Severe financial loss to company or individual
2) Extreme emergent situation
3) Humanitarian situation
4) Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States
5) Department of Defense or National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)
6) USCIS error
7) Compelling interest of USCIS
I feel I am fall under the point 1) and point 6). The IO that I talked to over the phone told me to write to USCIS with appropriate documentation.
At this time, I would like to learn from you guys if anyone of you have applied for expedited processing, what criteria did you apply under and what was your experience with it.
Further, I would appreciate if you guys comment on the reason that I plan to apply under...Do guys think it will work?
Thanks!

i don't personally know any attorney nor do I have any experience. But I know that anyone (including Indians) will qualify and this is always current and no labor cert needed. You can go from 140 to 485 in a short period of time and then get a 2 yr conditional GC after which if u still maintian ur initial invest (500k or 1M depending on target area of investment) then u will get final GC.
You also need to create employment opportunities for at least 10 people in the permanent resident or US citizen categories during those 2 years. Not sure if I-140 is required.

Now that the economy is in the toilet, it looks like people in H-1B will have to pay for it.
An ignorant group of people don't understand that the world has now changed. They can kick out all the H-1Bs or shut-down the whole H-1B category, but it won't make the U.S. any better. The companies will just start opening offices offshore and more jobs will be lost.
I am just awfully frustrated to see the fact that whenever something goes wrong in this country, the legal immigrant community will have to pay the price.

DHS Leadership Journal Has Just Posted the Following:
I am extremely pleased to congratulate the crew of the cutter Bertholf for their first drug interdiction on one of our new national security cutters. This success demonstrates the capability of this important national security asset and directly supports the department's strategy for protecting and securing the southwest border.
The national security cutter program (http://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/NSC/) is a vital component of the Department's effort to rebuild the Coast Guard (http://www.uscg.mil/)'s fleet so that it can continue its proud history of executing important missions to support the nation's maritime security and safety while protecting our economic prosperity.

Last week I visited the cutter Dallas in a shipyard in Charleston. The Dallas, and her sister ship Gallatin, are undergoing extensive work to repair major structural and machinery problems that are the result of their age and overuse. The national security cutter program will replace these 40-year old, Vietnam era vessels with modern, capable ships to secure America.
In Wednesday's seizure off the coast of Guatemala, the crew of the Bertholf disrupted four drug smuggling speedboats at the same time with their multiple pursuit boats and helicopter. The crew successfully captured two vessels and four suspects while disrupting the other two boats.
The continued renewal of the Coast Guard fleet and use of modern technology across the department is an indispensable part of our strategy to improve the ability of DHS to secure our nation and protect its citizens.

ANSWER:
Your lawyer is partly right. You can either petition once you are a citizen, or you can petition for a "hardship waiver" once you become a LPR(ie when you get a GC).
Not sure if you have visibility into when you may likely be getting your GC, but don't risk fudging the truth on the documents. You might get into more trouble than you already are. Remember that on a temp. visa like the H1, your rights are pretty much limited.
In my opinion, if you really want to stay in the US for the long term, you may be better off separated (unless the law changes), or move to another country. Note that there will be several hardships you may encounter..for example, simple things like opening a bank account, buying a home , renewing a driver's license, etc.,
I know this sounds harsh, but thats how it is. Purely my opinion.......
QUESTION:
He is an undocumented immigrant in the U.S. for more than 10 years. So my lawyer told me that I could only help him to get greencard when I become a citizen. So I have the following questions :
When I do my first time H1B visa renewal, will my new Marriage status disturb me to get the H1B renewal? should I just simply fill in the form saying I am "SINGLE" and not tell the consulate? Will the consulate know?
