I came back via Frankfurt last month. AP no prob. But be aware of Lufthansa. It was worst trip of my life. Bugger airline had cancelled flight from FRA to Mumbai without notifying. They gave me two options after I landed at FRA. 1. Wait at airport for 27 HOURS for next days flight (as they don't give Indians visa @ airport for hotel stay) or 2. Wait for another 6 hours at airport, then take flight from FRA to zurich, wait at zurich for 3 hrs, then zurich to Dubai, wait at dubai for 3 hrs and then dubai to Mumbai. Unwillingly I had to accept 2nd option.
Staff is damn rude, had to wait in long line for 3 hours to talk to cust service.
Never in my life will I travel with Lufthansa :mad: :mad: :mad:
That's terrible and it could happen to anybody and I can imagine how helpless we feel at that time. I have utter contempt for those airlines. Please send emails to as many as possible to the airline and highlight your plight. Whether they hear it or not, they should know at least how you were mistreated.

No wonder Congress is not acting on any retrogession reform legislaiton because of only 100,000 backlogged cases. It would probably millions of cases before they took action.
Hope, they do take action!!!!

The following has been extracted from H1-B is still valid with AP entry US? - Yahoo! Answers (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071214234832AA7fOR3)
Normally, an alien who has filed for Adjustment of Status in the US must apply for Advanced Parole and use the Advanced Parole to come back to the US in order to keep his / her Adjustment of Status application pending.
H-1 and L-1 holders are the only exceptions to this rule.
Aliens in H-1B status who have a pending Adjustment of Status application do not need to apply for Advance Parole to go abroad if they fulfill certain conditions. As long as the H-1 B visa holder maintains his/her H-1 B status before leaving the U.S., he/she may apply for an H-1B visa to re-enter the U.S. to work for his / her H-1B sponsoring employer after his/her travel abroad.
When he/she comes back with a valid H-1B visa to continue to work for his/her H-1B sponsoring employer, he/she does not need to be paroled. Rather he/she can be admitted under H 1B status as long as they're still employed by the H-1B petitioner.
If they choose to be paroled, then they are not H-1B anymore, and if they had dependents, those dependents cannot be H-4's anymore. It's your choice. Use the valid visa if you're still with the petitioner or use the parole. If you are paroled into the U.S., you will need an EAD to work.

I had a copy of approved I-140 (EB2) with PD Mar 06. I had to file for new labor in Apr 09, after i got my labor my lawyer filed for new I-140 with a copy of earlier approved I-140. I remember she was saying that they will also write a cover letter to recapture earlier priority date (I don't have a copy of that). So i believe porting can be done easily when filing new I-140 rather than after I-140 approval (i am not saying you cannot do after new I-140 approval but it takes extra effort, time and energy ).
In the interest of others in a similar situation can you post the exact process that you or your lawyer finally followed to get a successful porting of PD?

I would say Canada because British Columbia has a much higher standard of living than Boston. Canada is generally a much better place for raising kids and the stress levels are lower because of freebies like health care etc. BC also has a much better weather compared to Boston.
The other reason is that you could always come to the USA from Canada later but if you lose the Canadian PR now and don't manage to get a green card in the US, you lose everything.
Hi All,
I would really appreciate everyone's honest opinions on this matter.
We filed 140 and 485 concurrently in July 2007, EB3. As of now there is no word on either application. Previously we had also obtained Canadian PR, the 3 year grace period of which will expire this August.
Not only am I faced with a decision of staying in the US or going to Canada, but my future career is on the line too. This year I will be 23. After taking my undergrad degree in electrical engineering, I have been accepted into Boston University Law School in the US as well as the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law in Canada. Canadian lawyers make around half as much as American ones after all factors are considered.
In your opinion, should I stay in the US, going to law school, in hopes that the green card will come through, or should I pursue a new life in Canada, but take the lower future salary / international renown?
This issue is currently causing much discord in my family. I hope to hear your frank opinion so that I won't take my decision lightly.
Many Thanks! :)

There were about 600,000 AOS applications including the July and August filers. So that number less 60,000...roughly about 540,000 applications still pending with USCIS....
applications pending before July/Aug applications, why did they make all CURRENT? I don't think this number is correct. They maybe stuck in FBI Namecheck.

In short that forum story as follows :
On 6th Nov 2008....
He thought because of unemployment application, Two(2) Immigration Officers + One(1) State Police Officer came to my house a 6.00am in the morning questioning my �Legal Status� in this country.
But that found wrong reason as per his latest reply on 3rd Mar 2009....Immigration Officera turned to his door due to his Employer informed USCIS about his firing while revoking H1B.

Hi All, Went to the Immi court today and returned just now. My lawer had prepared a wonderful document "Motion to Terminate Removal Proceedings" and Pleading document. DHS was presenet. Since there were number of attachments with evidence, the court has given a "Individual Hearing" on July 6th Monday @8:30AM. My lawyer is pretty confident and it should be fine. I am one of the rare cases. I did see the judges list on notice board and did not find even one Indian name other than mine. Will keep all posted when things progress. Thanks for the support. Sheela Murthy okayed Unemployemnt benefit. So if one wants to file, go ahead.

100% of the calls to today's program were from anti-H1B people. Not 1 call supported the H1Bs. If corporates are supporting more GCs for us, and since the fate of H1B/Employment GCs is linked, we ought to support H1B legislation.
How can we get an advance notification of this recordings?? Seems the anti-immigrant forces have the inside tack
here...
Also, the C-SPAN commentator on H1B/immigration issues is frequntly Dena Bunis of the Orange County register. She said the corporate lobbies "have convinced congressman" there is a shortage...implying that there wasn't one. She needs to be contacted . Here contact info (202) 628-6381 or dbunis@ocregister.com

My son and you are in the same boat. He came here 9 years ago went to middle/high school here. Now, he is in college and will turn 21. He will not get his greencard because he is here on H4 legally.
Isn't that a shame?
andy
Q1: Is H4 only valid for children under 21. What happens to children who have been here for long on H4 status and turn 21?
Q2: If the answer to the first part of Q1 is YES, will the approved I140 (that included the dependent H4) be valid?

I got an email saying "we mailed the document to the applicant" and it says the same thing on my uscis protfolio.
I would like to know if this means the case was approved or is it some other document being sent.
When they approved my EAD, it clearly said "Approval notice sent".

Sorry to hear about your lengthy RFE. I received a similar RFE but just asked contract documents between my company and client. I have 2 layers in between. My company, Prime Vendor and Client.
I've submitted POs showing the contract and a letter from Prime Vendor stating that I work on a project for Client.
Just responded to the RFE and keeping my fingers crossed.
Hope this helps...

IV team, please consider the following:
1. IV can post free ads in classifieds like sulekha, indiainfo, craigslist, free ad newspaper, etc.
2. also IV can contact all indian/asian associations and Asian student association in US to place an free ad in their websites/magazine/email newsletter (some have annual magazine, some has monthly newsletter). tell them how IV helps its members in visa/gc related issues including free legal advise.
3. IV can place free ad/info on notice boards in indian/pak/chinese restaurants, indian/pak/chinese groceries, temples, conference halls, etc...
4. increase IV site listing in search engine results. any combination of keywords in gc or visa should bring IV site in top 10 like when searching any US visa (like H1/H4/H1B/F1/J1 etc.), gc related keywords (like I-485, PERM, labor, I-140, immigrant, FingerPrinting, etc). This can be achieved for a little money and this can be done by contacting yahoo/msn and other SEO (Search Engine Optimization) companies. Our members can help us in this regard.
5. Send newsletter email to all IV members atleast ONCE a month and ask them to contact their friends/coworkers/their company employees to join IV.
This newsletter will request members to contact indian/asian association in their local area for membership drive.
Also request them to send feedback to improve IV and to increase publicity and membership.
6. Create "Free Legal Advise for Employers/Schools Only", where employers/schools can send visa/gc related questions and attend conference call during this session. This is an addition to the current one which we have now (which is for open public).
also request these employers to place IV information on notice board in all office branches, also ask them to request these employers to give IV information in welcome package. same for colleges we can contact international student counsellor or concerned persons to give IV information in information package to foreign students who join their college.
7. Create an email like "employerslist@immigrationvoice.org" and mention this in contactus page. Every month newsletter will rquest IV members to send "employers name/address/phone and contact person name/email" to this email so that we can keep the employer information private. Ask them whether IV can use their name to contact them.
This employer should hire foreign graduates, or who sponsors H1B or GC even J1/Business visa etc... in this way, if we collect their names/contact info, we can contact them and request them to place or send email to their employees about IV. They might refuse but we convince saying that IV is providing "free legal counsel for Visa/GC" for both Employers/Employees where they can opinion about their visa/gc related questions and explain how IV helps in getting rid of GC backlogs and advocates H1 increase etc....
8. Create "Contact Us" page with a form inaddition to what we have.
following fields like: from, category, subject, how they heard about us, comments/feedback. This category can be general, questions for free legal advise, feedback, etc.
how they heard about us: give options like IV member/search engine/college/employer/friend/family/association, other etc., if they choose others, they have to tell what it is, this will help us to concentrate on marketing in the area through which we received more membership.
9. Not sure how this is done but check. Do email marketing from hotmail/yahoo, etc. most people give for less than 50$ for 1000 emails, get list of emails specific to people who has occupation in IT who are in US and send email to them.
10. Consider this after trying above options: pay-per-click(PPC)/Adsense (google). for this, we need to spend some money, but some companies are giving 50$ for new customers, after that they will charge us. we can bid very low for PPC.
Thanks everyone for being patient and supporting us. The work is happening at all ends and it is an uphill task.
We really need to increase our membership. Higher membership will mean us looking tall when we meet lawmakers. Please all try to help us spread the word of IV to everyone you know that is stuck in retrogression. We represent at least half million people but we currently not even have 6 thousand members. Thus we have to bring lot many people into IV. I would encourage everyone to pls. register on this forum instead of being visitors.

Besides not signing this so called contract
If you are H1 - as long as you are an employee - the employer has to pay the salary as per H1 papers, whatever be the business issues. If that be the case they can be reported as a violator.
Non solicitation clause should state a time frame - but otherwise most contracts have them
And as long as this is a new or potential employer - its a nice red flag to stay out

If I plan to use EAD instead of H1/H4... Do I still need to maintain I-94??
This is a very valid question for spouses on H4 using EAD... When their H4 I-94 expires, they won't get a new I-94 unless travel outside country... This is little confusing.. May be we've some one with better knowledge about this issue...

Agree with you 100%. And this does not require a law change and is relatively easy. Not very easy, but easier than getting a new law passed.
I saw a comment on a lawyer's website that recapture of unused visas can only be done through legislation and not through administrative fix..
And, the real issue we should try to address here is USCIS inefficiency.
There are a lot of " worldwide" category folks who have been current for over a year (and a few months after the 180 day memo) but are yet to get their GC.... So unless we get USCIS to move fast on the applications that are current, all our visa recapture efforts help DOS to move cut off dates further ahead.. but if past history is any indication, more of these visa #s will be assigned to Consular processing cases rather than AOS cases in USA..
So.. I think while lobbying for Visa Recapture is the right move, we should also lobby to highlight USCIS inefficiency in adjudicating cases that are current..
