Hi everyone,
Here is my situation and I need URGENT help.
I am currently on L1-A for past 7 years (Visa expires Nov 07). During this span my company's attorney has unsuccessfully filed my I140 (twice was rejected at NSC and later TSC - due to 3 year degree and also my job description prior to transfer to US did not showed I have managerial/management function of a department). He refiled again this time with proper documentation and additional support letters from senior exec from my company.
I suspect he has been making mistakes in my filing and my time is running out. I am thinking of using my own money and hire another lawyer to file a fresh I140/485. Is this possible since I have already 2 pending I140; one at NSC under EB-1C and another at TSC under EB-3?
Please reply urgently if anyone has the answer to my question as I am running out of time.
Thanks in advance.

Option 1: you can get someone to take your photograph with a digital camera and then use Passport photos for free - ePassportPhoto.com (http://www.epassportphoto.com) to make sure that it is cropped to size and meets the size requirements. You will need to ensure that the picture is taken correctly though (without shadows, against a plain light background, etc.). You can get more details about the photo requirements from:
Guidelines for Producing High Quality Photographs for U.S. Travel Documents (http://travel.state.gov/passport/guide/guide_2081.html)
Option 2: You can also go to any place like Costco or Walgreens and have them take your picture and upload the scanned version of the picture.
I used Option 1 and it worked just fine.

Just carrying a copy of the receipt is sufficient. Normally the officer will only be interested in the passport and original AP document - that was my experience recently coming into the country.

One required initial evidence (not medical) was not included in my recently submitted 485. Is it possible to send it now without receipt before 08/17?
If it's possible, what's the proper procedure?
Please kindly share your comments and experience.

I was going through the processing times bulletin which they normally release around 15th of every month and noticed that though date at top says (Posted: September 28, 2008 ) but before the list starts they have written
.................Service Center Processing Dates for Nebraska Service Center as of: July 31, 2008.
Now what is that, have they lost track of dates being considered as of today.............. I can understanb things might standstill for I-485 (dues of non availability of visa numbers), but what about I-140, for last few months it does not jumpout of that March shell.
Also what do they mean by as of July 31, 2008, can we not know someohow as of October 8th or September 28th, what cases are they considering .

Hi. I just e-filed my I-539, status of change request from F-1 to H-4. I just found out that I chose "North Korea" for my citizenship, while it was supposed to be "South Korea". I chose "South Korea" for the passport issuance country.
How can I fix this? Should I attach a letter explaining this, when sending the supporting documents? What else supporting documents should I submit, other than my husband(H-1)'s paystub, I-129 approval notice and our marriage certificate?
Thanks in advance.
you need to write a covering letter describing your mistake and mention all the supporting documents
Supporting documents can be
1. your passport
2. your husband passport with your name mentioned on it
3. your birth certificate
4. your educational certificate (if it specifies your country of birth)
I would suggest to send at least two or three supporting documents which shows your date of birth.
In fact I did the same problem and I had to send the supporting documents.
good luck.

You dont have to apply for a COS as long as she is leaving US before her current I-94 expires. However, note that when she goes for her H4 interview, she might be asked to prove her H1 status by showing her employment details (recent pay checks, tax documents..) in addition to your employment documents before they give her the H4 Visa...This happened with one of my friends at Chennai embassy...Just wanted to give you a heads up on that....

I assume u r returing US worker i.e means that ur just getting ur H1B extended in that case u can choose any consulate in your home country.i recently got stamped at New Delhi Embassy but my consulate is Mumbai.
Since I could not get dates for Mumbai consulate during my visit to India even though i paid my fees at HDFC mumbai branch. it should not matter as long as u pay your fees and u r a returning worker.

"urgent - attorney please reply"
Can you please put in an appropriate title. Folks looking for similar answer will find it easier to find.
You do not need to inform the company holding your H1 when doing a transfer.
I believe this year's quota is over - so if you do have a file a new H1 ( and if cap to non-cap is considered a new # ) , then you will have to wait till next year.
I'm not very aware of the process of transfer between cap and non-cap - the new company's attorney are another good source for your question - they should be able to help you out faster.

what does it mean? If you apply your 485 on July 2nd, within 6 months time (by Jan 2nd) you will get 485 approved?
This question has been asked 100000000 times..
your I-485 will be adjudicated in 6 months IF and ONLY IF your PD is current and your security checks are cleared. Without these 2 conditions, the processing times are pretty much useless for us.

Looks like there is a huge backlog of perm applications. I am not sure if they will look at your application anytime soon. If your application is pending more than a year at least you could apply for extension of H1.
It will be delusional on our part to think that perm applications will have an easy approvals.

Hunton Immigration and Nationality Law Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
On July 1, 2010, the Vital Statistics Office of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico began issuing new, more secure Puerto Rican birth certificates to US Citizens born in Puerto Rico. As of October 1, 2010, all certified copies of Puerto Rican birth certificates issued prior to July 1, 2010, will no longer be valid. Accordingly, the Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a press release providing guidance to US employers with regard to the I-9 process. For new employees, employers may continue to accept all Puerto Rican birth certificates through September 30, 2010; after that date, only the new Puerto Rican birth certificates (issued on or after July 1, 2010) we be acceptable for I-9 purposes. Therefore, as of October 1, 2010, employers must pay close attention to the issuance date of Puerto Rican birth certificates presented for I-9 purposes.
For existing employees, there is no need to re-verify the employment authorization of employees who previously presented pre-July 1, 2010, Puerto Rican birth certificates. Federal Contractors subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation E-Verify clause may continue to accept all Puerto Rican birth certificates prior to October 1, 2010, but beginning on that date, only the new Puerto Rican birth certificates issued on or after July 1, 2010, will be acceptable. Federal Contractors may not ask for the newer version during I-9 reverification of those individuals who previously presented the older version of the Puerto Rican birth certificates.
The USCIS memo can be found here (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=45e3285ca77fa210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD).

We had a 8 hr long meeting with a lobbying firm right on the Capitol hill. The meeting progressed very well. We came out with a wealth of information. This firm seems to have the right contacts and connections. I am creating a pointwise document the people in this firm promised and were confident to achieve. Just to let you know we have Labor Backlog centers and Retrogression on our agenda.
We have appointment with another firm today will update everyone on monday.

The trees were, indeed, leaning.
And one other thing....I have been wondering about "the golden rule" for a time...thought it was quite meaningless, but this pic has shown me that indeed when you compose from right to left, your sight gets more into the picture.
Check this reversed version of the pic above, and tell me in which one is the milk container truck ('deep' in the picture ) more evident.
What do you think?
