Politicians are used to pander to their audience.
All he did was to use some keywords - "strategic alliance"; "peace"; "fight terror"; "immigration reform" etc.
He needs to list out the specific issues that he thinks are issues; and then propose a solution that would not only fix the said issue, but also prevent it from recurring.
Broad statements don't mean anything. Everyone knows the immigration system in this country is broken. But no politician has listed out (nor acknowledged) the root causes of the broken system.
But unfortunately, being a politician, he will not say anything that would put him in a corner.

I think they carry only their own documents + hdfc receipt etc stuff in original.
All other documents (that are not issued to them) are a copy e.g. your I797 notice, copy of your passport, visa etc.
Your Birth certificate is one such document hence copy should be fine. And also your passport also has a name of each parent.

In Franz Kafka's chilling story "The Metamorphosis", a man wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed into a "gigantic insect". Recently, a California family, all permanent residents for over 30 years, was suddenly informed by the government that they were all illegal aliens and must return to Thailand. Mr. Promsiri entered the United States on a student visa. His wife and two young sons, aged 10 and 3 joined him in 1971. In 1975, the parents obtained a divorce from a Thai Consulate in the U.S. The wife married an American citizen, and the couple honeymooned...

I used the Windows Character Map application to get the unicode identifier for the �.

I applied for my PERM Labor Certification on 06-Aug-2007. My status online shows "APPROVED"on 13-Aug-2007. My Lawyer says that the HARD COPY is needed to move forward (My priority date is Jan-2006 from a prior Labor/I-140 approval).
1. How long does it usually take for the Hard copy to reach the attorney's office after approval.
2. Is there any way I can apply for I-140/485 by August 17th given that my status shows "APPROVED" as of today (August 14th).
Any suggestions?
This is another classical case of attorney screw up. If only your attorney had filed 6 days earlier, you could have filed for your I-140 and I-485 concurrently.

hi friends,
some time ago i contact my senator through this site
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s1085/show
and wrote to him about plight of workers in limbo for years
if not decades ... following is response i recieved... request
all those stuck in GC limbo to contact their senators...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. immigration policy is based on four underlying principles: reunification of families, admissions of immigrants with needed skills, protection of refugees, and diversity of admission by country of origin. The Immigration and Nationality Act specifies priorities for permanent immigration using a complex set of numerical limits and preference categories. Immediate relatives, defined as spouses of citizens, children (under 21 years of age and unmarried) of citizens, and parents of citizens 21 years of age or older, have been given priority in the immigration process.
Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) introduced S.1085 on May 20, 2009. This legislation seeks to reduce current immigration backlogs by classifying lawful permanent resident (LPR) spouses and children as "immediate relatives." Currently, spouses and children of LPRs must obtain visas through the Family Second Preference category. This can lead to a waiting period of several years. Among other things, this bill would allow unused and unclaimed visas from 1992-2007 to be placed back in the pool of current available visas for families, and would establish a �roll over� system for unused and unclaimed visas in the future. This bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, where it awaits further review.
I will continue to work with my colleagues in the Senate to craft effective solutions to address our nation�s immigration problems. I will keep your thoughts in mind should S.1085, or any similar legislation, come before me in the full Senate.

I am no expert but based on my understanding on this.
1. Your friend can associate with one of the companies in USA and have an agreement so that the money gets paid to the US Company and then transferred to Indian company/individual. The US company pays tax for the payments received.
2. You can direct the online payments to your bank account via paypal or other methods and then transfer the money to your friend. No need of merchant account. However, you need to report this as an additional income on your W2 or similar and then pay taxes.
3. You can register a small business and then associate with your friend in India. All the payments will be made to your US company and then paid as services / product fee to your friend in India. (Info about starting the Business in USA can be found at Immigration Voice Starting a Business wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Starting_a_Business))
I am not sure there could be other ways, but these are some of the obvious ones.

Hi
Here is my situation:
Entered US with K1, received I-94 at the time of entry with Employment Authorized stamp, and the CBP officer told me I can work with the I-94 until my status changes to permanent resident.
BUT I-94 is valid only for 90 Days so my permission to work is not valid any longer (That is what the Employer says).
Filed I-485 to Chicago, IL, application was received on July 19/07.
Receipt Notice received August 27/07. Biometrics taken August 30/07, have an Interview on November 29/07.
I called USCIS, they told me I have to apply for an EAD.
Applied for EAD in August. Application was received on August 29/07, the Biometrics Notice Date is September 17/07.
Now I have an absolutely awesome job offer but I don't have a valid Employment Authorization document.
I called USCIS yesterday to ask if I can expedite the process for the EAD, they said go to local immigration office and ask them to see what options you have (she read some options, I didn't write any down because it was a long list).
I went to a local immigration office this morning, they said "We cannot do ANYTHING from our local office in regards to a EAD since September of last year!!!".
They also said to call USCIS and ask them to download the Biometrics from the I485 application to speed up the process.
I called USCIS this morning and they said they are UNABLE to download the Biometrics.
I asked them if there is a way to expedite the process for the EAD, they told me the same thing as yesterday: Go to local office!
Here I am, in this #$#%#^# loop, can't do anything about this and USCIS or the local immigration office does not give a damn about honest people who are trying to make a living and put some food on the table.
I don't know what else to do but if somebody has an idea please, please, please let me know.
By the way, the Immigration officer told me that the employer can hire me if they want, but it is up to the employer to decide!!! I just don't understand how somebody is supposed to hire me if I canno't show any documentation allowing me to work here.
I would also like to know how long it took for any of you who applied for the EAD??
Thank you!

Is she now on "AOS" status or out-of-status?
"AOS applicant". So she is NOT out of status.
Is she has to file H4 as my friend's dependent?
Not necessary.
Ask both of them to have their EAD ready, if they don't have them yet.
Guru's pl help..
One of friends 485(primary) was pending and his wife's 485(derivative) also pending.
Both of them are on H1(different employers) and they both lay-off around the same time about 4 months ago. My friends employer has been running paychecks for him but his wife's employer canceled her H1.

As stated above, interim EAD is not anymore issued at local center. What you can do after 90 days has lapsed, schedule an infopass appointment and then ask to expedite your EAD. In most cases, it doesn't exceed 90 days. A few unlucky one's had it in about 110 days!

Hi,
If 4 months after 485 filed, I leave my job. Can I use EAD to work for another company? My wife also has 485 filed, so I can use her to renew my EAD if I need to.
All these questions have been answered multiple times in detail. I suggest you use the search feature.

I have an opportunity to do some consulting work for a company B on a part-time basis apart from my current full time job with company A. I know that I will need another H1 for the part time gig but what I am confused about is whether the company B has to wait for next years quota to file for an H1 or can it file immediately ? Meaning is the H1b quota tied to max no of individuals ? or to max no of positions ?
I would appreciate if some one knowledgeable about the issue can comment on my question:confused:

So let's have premium processing in all stages?
Wonderful, why not this suggestion:
Sell GCs for 30k each, or put up on auction.
30k is achievable goal for everyone if we save money for 6 years straight. Maybe live on bread and water or something but hey, after buying the GC, can get back to living normally!
I think the premium processing idea is just money milking strategies by the respective departments who process the different stages.
