I changed my employer after 9 months of filing 485 using AC21 a year ago and my new employer has reduced my workdays to 3 days a week starting this month. Can I get a second job for 2 days a week with same job description and salary etc ?

Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer Has Just Posted the Following:
Beginning March 1, 2010, Mexico will require U.S. citizens to have valid passports when traveling to Mexico. Legal residents of the U.S. must have their green cards or other documents demonstrating legal status in the U.S.
This new rule by Mexican authorities shouldn't change travel habits, because it has been the law in the U.S. since June 2009 that U.S. travelers returning to this country from Mexico must show their passports.

Here is the latest on H1B visa numbers, they now passed the 50K mark. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it has now received approximately 48,977 H-1B petitions counting toward the congressionally-mandated 65,000 limit. USCIS also confirmed that it has received approximately 17,836 H-1B petitions for employees with advanced degrees from U.S. colleges and universities. The annual limit on H-1B petitions in the advanced degree category is 20,000.
Accordingly, USCIS is still accepting H-1B petitions under both the general cap and the advanced degree cap. We also continue to process H1B cases, but time is running out so in order to secure visas for this season employers must act now.

Hi,
Could one of the lawyers/expert please provide their opinion on my situation?
In 2004, my H1B extension was denied and later on approved in Nunc Pro Tunc. The nunc pro tunc process took a total of 64 days and when approved my I-94 was NOT back dated. Hence, I do not have I-94 for 64 days. Later on in July 2007, I filed for my I485.
Since my approval, I have not traveled outside the country and I am currently on EAD based on my pending 485.
The question I have, it's bothering me a lot, Will the gap in I94 for 64 days cause any problems in my I485 approval?
Please advise.

Greetings,
First time poster, long time reader.
I recently received a RFE on my I-140 application for special registration (only apply for men born in the middle east). My attorney and I replied to the RFE letter explaining why I did not register for the requirement. It is been three months since they received my letter (as shown on the e-gov website). I still have not heard anything from USCIS. My status still reads 'RFE: Response Review'
My question is :
Do they always formally reply back to the applicant's RFE response and indicates whether they accepted it or not.? If so, will it be within the 4 month process time.?
Aprreciate any thoughts.

My friend H1B is expiring this month end but she has valid EAD wth her.When we are planning to use EAD from H1B,what is the procedure for that?Do we have to send any forms to INS for this change of status??
Just you need to fillout a new I-9 form and hand over it (along with copy of EAD) to your H1B employer ,also mention moving to EAD..thats it..

In compliance with the precautionary measures and the travel health warning issued by the Department of State, the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juarez is canceling all immigrant visa and waiver appointments from April 30, 2009, through May 8, 2009.

Gurus,
In 2007 , I joined a new company and filed my Labour substitution+I140 petition in June 2007. This got approved in November 2007. but my H1B transfer to this company is still not approved. Earlier this year (2008) I went back to my previous company whose H1B is still valid and waited for my old H1B to get approved with no luck.
Now, i wish to start my GC process with this new company, can I retain my old priority date of I140 ? There is absolutely no chance that I will get I-140 approval copy from my old employer, but I have the receipt Number and I know the PD.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Immigration attorneys are all too aware that U.S. immigration laws are so overly strict our last three Presidents would all be ineligible to even visit our country, much less to qualify for green cards. Think I'm exaggerating? Consider that a person who admits to smoking marijuana a few times, even as a teenager many years ago, is forever banned from entering the U.S. If you were born in the Philippines, before you can qualify for a green card, you must undergo a medical examination at St. Luke's Hospital in Manila to make sure that you do not have a dangerous...

Here is a possible scenario I might run into next year after I change employers this month and restart my GC process.
Assuming the following:
1) I have approved I-140 with new employer by Sep 2012 and I am able to port my old PD
2) My PD is Nov1 2007 under EB2. PD becomes current in Sept 2012 and I apply for I-485
3) My employment contract gets over in Nov 2012 and I have to change jobs
What happens then.
1) Will I need to change jobs based on approved I-140 ?
2) Will I be able to keep the I-485 application going ?
3) If the I-485 adjudication occurs while I am at new job and it hasn't been 180 since I filed for I485 what happens ?
4) What happens if PD retrogress in October 2012 ?

Hello All,
I wanted your advice. I filed for my 485. Then hit retro. Got married. Now got current in June VB. Want to apply wifes 485. EB2 India PD 15 March 04. Initially lawyer said he would do everything in one fees. Now he says he will charge 1000 dollars more since he is filing for wifes separately. I was wondering whether to do it myself. Is it advisable? Has anyone done it succesfully? If so what do you put on top of your application so that USCIS knows I am filing for derivative and my PD is current and so they wont reject the docs? Thanks.

Hi,
My PD is 2005 and my I-485 was denied on the ground of my birth certificate and I got more proof from where I was born and submitted to USCIS and it was accepted in August 2009 and since then it has been more than a year and there is no update in the online status update for my I-485 application.
Lot of my friends from Late 2005 and early 2006 got the GC's last couple of months. I have requested my Lawyer to make a AILA inquiry? What else can I do at this point?

HI,
My company is processing my Green card and recently applied my I-140. My wife is applying for residency this year. Most of hospitals are saying that they can sponsor only a J-1 visa. Can you please suggest if this would be a problem for my Green Card processing and/or her visa stamping (Since applying for G.C means that we wants to stay and J-1 means the other way round)?
Thanks,
-Raj.

It seems like ages since the federal government transformed the rules on when and how foreign citizens apply for visas to enter the United States. Actually, the most dramatic changes occurred in the summers of 2003 and 2004. In 2003, the government dramatically restricted the authority of American consular officers to waive the appearance of visa applicants for an in-person interview. In 2004, the U.S. State Department stopped "revalidating"(renewing previously issued but expired) nonimmigrant visas from a central processing facility in the United States. More changes have followed. Now all applicants must submit the visa application on-line (all the better...
