Summary: It is good to work for USCIS or FBI. There is loads of overtime while in service and even after retirement they fall on your feet to do more work. :D;)

I have a question for people who get fingerprinting notices to be done at San Antonio, Texas.
Do you people know of any childcare facilities that exist around that place to drop off toddlers during the finger printing process (I am not sure if they allow kids during fingerprinting).

In an amazing turn of the tables, Republicans are growing increasingly concerned that Democrats will attempt to pass immigration reform this year in order foster an internal split on the right. Since Prop 187 was passed in California in 1994, Republicans have often tried to use the immigration issue as a way to energize right wing voters and get them to oppose Democrats who are pro-immigration. Three op-ed pieces discuss that issue just in the last day. Michael Barone of the right wing American Enterprise Institute in the Wall Street Journal, Fox News co-host Morton Kondracke in Congressional Quarterly and...

Online application usually warrants a fingerprinting , it's best to apply in paper if that needs to be avoided.
You may avoid fingerprinting (not so sure on that) by paper filing...but applying is a lot faster and easier. Moreover, even if she has to go for fingerprinting..shouldn't be a big deal...they have ASCs all around...

The only time they keep an original is the first time. After that they never keep the original but return it to you when you return.
My wife and I only had 2 AP originals when we applied last year and made 2 trips outside the US. So relax and dont worry. You're fine.
Got my AP in the mail yesterday but have only 2 originals, last time I got 3 so any idea if I will be able to make more than 2 trips out of the country?

is this is right?
-> H1 (797 approval notice) is valid
-> you enter USA on AP, you will get AOS status.
-> H1 is still valid but unusable as the status is AOS.
-> If anything happens to GC processing then you loose status, H1 will NOT become a backup.
-> The only way you change from AOS to visa status is by renewing your H1 or change jobs with H1 ( or reenter USA on H1 Visa ).
PS : I understand , H1 ( 791 approval notice ) and H1Visa are different.
Anyone entering US using Advance parole becomes a "Parolee", but still can work on H1B with the same employer, BUT need to inform the employer that they entered using AP.
You are eligible for H1B extension after expiry and again get back to H1B status.
Being on AOS status it is better to have H1B stamped on your passport if you visit your nation, at Port of Entry categorically tell the officer that I do not intend to use my AP. {now many will say way to tell the officer they can know your status and do not be surprised if they tell you that you have your labor, 140 cleared and on waiting 485 status and hold and AP and EAD with so and so dates...
I myself have been told by the officer at the POE that my 140 is cleared when I entered US in 2008 [ this was before the attorney or I received any communication]....

07/07/2007: USCIS Reportedly Admitted Some I-485 Approvals at Last Minutes Without Completion of FBI Security Clearance
* New York Times, http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/06/us/06visa.html?hp, has reported:
"To complete the applications in time, the immigration agency put employees to work both days last weekend at service centers in Texas and Nebraska, immigration officials said. They said that 25,000 applications were processed in the final 48 hours before Monday�s deadline. In some cases, security clearances required by the F.B.I. were not entirely completed, immigration officials said. The agency approved some applications �when we were certain the process will be completed very shortly,� Mr. Aytes said."
* The report also indicates that the State Department and the USCIS tend to disagree with each other for the root of the problem for the current fiasco. Earlier there was a report in the Washington Post that the USCIS denied that the USCIS worked ceaselessly and frantically during the weekends (two days) before July 1, but it has been admitted since then the employees indeed worked hard during the two days. According to the NY Times report, during the weekend alone, they approved 25,000 I-485 backlog applications.
* We are afraid that the alleged admission of approval of I-485 application before completion of the security clearance is likely to face the legal challenge for violation of the rules which is likely one of the main claims of the AILF lawsuit as well as the political backfire as an issue of security lapse relating to the homeland security. It appears that the July visa bullen fiasco is going out of control and pushes the two agencies into an edge. :eek: :eek: :eek:
DONT CREATE THREAD FOR EXISTING NEWS. WE ARE HOPING FOR POSTIIVE NEWS THE NEXT WEEK OF ACCEPTING APPLICATION WITH SAME FEE ON AUGUST VISA BULLETIN.

Abhay,
Was the RFE for the I-485 or for the I-140? If for the I-485, has the I-140 been approved? What evidence was requested?

You can get 1099 MISC on H1B and also include that in your tax returns. You need to file a separate form though. I have done this before and confirmed with my attny that there should be no issues with that. The only thing that is important is that the income must be of a passive type.
Income must be passive type meaning it should not exceed the income which iam getting on my present H1job or anything else which iam missing.

What is your RD and ND ?
Dear All,
I just received a FP notice for my wife scheduled for Sep 19, 2007. I have not received mine yet (I am the primary applicant), I have a few questions regarding this. Please help me if you have any information.
1. Is it normal for the primary applicant to not receive FP notice at the same time as dependent?
2. Can my wife get it done without me getting an FP notice?
3. Can I get my FP done on the same day as my wife even though I did not receive my FP notice?
4. I have filed for I-485, EAD and AP, will we both receive an FP notice for all 3 applications or it is just one FP for all applications?
Please help us with your expertise. Thank you very much for all your time.

We are in process of extending visitor visa for my parents-in-law.
We have filed I -539 form thro� USCIS E-FILE. We paid $300 for extension fees. They did not ask for any documentation, so we have not sent any. We got the acknowledgement of receipt from USCIS. We applied one month before their six month stay expires. If I do not get any reply from USCIS before their stay expires, is it illegal for them to continue their stay? If anyone has gone thro� a similar situation, please provide some insight. Any expert opinion will highly appreciated.

Assume my husband company doesn't want him to leave.
Then what you say.
When you said u had a good relationship does that mean, you talked to your employer before changing jobs.
Thanks
What does the employment contract between your husband and his employer say? This document will be the key to what your husband can or can't do.

Please explain why not?
I think if 5000 people from EB3 India with PD in 2007 moved to EB2, then that means 5000 people are reduced from the EB3 India queue?
The fact is those 5000 people are not in the begining of the line. So you don't see date movement for EB3.
