I do not know if this has been posted on this forum..
But some of the testimonials are interesting for Students & STEM based EB applicants..
This is from Immigration-law:
02/14/2008: House Subcommittee Hearing on Status of Visas & Policies on Foreign Students and Scholars on February 7, 2008
The House had this important hearing that can have an impact on the employment-based immigration issues relating to the STEM foreign graduates in research and higher learning institutions. It is suggested that the EB immigrants in STEM to review the testimonies of witnesses in this hearing.
Purpose and Summary of the Subject
Testimonies of Witnesses:
:: Opening Statements by Rep. Brian Baird
:: Witness Statements ::
Mr. Tony Edson
Ms. Catheryn Cotten
Dr. Harvey Fineberg
Dr. Allan E. Goodman
Under the current political environment and a long pause in the employment-based immigration legislation issues in the Hill, this is indeed an important news in that at least the Congress is giving attention to the predicament the research and higher learning institutions are facing owing to the failure of the do-nothing Congress and the Administration to act on the matter.

Hi
My H1b was approved in feb 2010 for location A.Before I could start working at location A,my company found a better client (close to home,better pay) at location B .(different state).
what should my company do or have done with regards to lca for me to work at location b.
should lca have been approved before I moved to location b or could it be filed after i started working at location b. If lca was filed after I started working, is that ok.If not, how do we correct this.
thanks

And there were two people last month here who had theirs brought down to EB3 from EB2 (inspite of having an I-140 notice that said EB2)! Got them more than a month to rectify that.

I have a question. Our files are stuck in the Chicago local office (after our interview last year) and the only thing pending is the Namecheck, which has been pending for more than 180 days. Our PD is current. Is anyone in the same position?
It is frustrating because you do not get any LUDs when your files are in the local office and I have no indication whether the Chicago officeis processing cases with NC pending > 180 days. Anyone knows?
You should send a letter to local office and demand adjudication. Attach Feb 4th memo.

Hello,
My labour got approved but we still have to file for I-140. My h1b is going to expire on May 2007.
Can I get H1b extension based on Labour approval? If not, is it necessary to file I-140 soon.
Thanks in-advance for any update.

I have two I -140's approved with one PD from end of 2005 and other end of 2006 both on EB2. I 485 is based based on 2nd one in 2006. So question is can I port 2005 pd to I 485 based on 2006?
Some where I heard that you can only port the PD when your 2nd is application stage and is pending. but here it is applied and already approved. Is it a good case for Porting PD or interfiling?
And by the way what is the difference between porting and interfiling?
Thanks

I doubt if immigration would be on his plate for next 8-10 months because of economic downturn. His administration would be busy focusing on taxes, banking reforms, health care, pulling out of Iraq etc. If recession goes away quickly than hoped only then we can expect something about it...
With just 14 days left, it is getting more and more clear tht Obama is going to be the president of the US for atleat next 4 yrs, unless some miracle change the race in coming days. And Projected Senate looks like, democrats will have 60 or almost there which is required to bypass a filibuster and Dems would be incresing their lead in House.
Dont we have to strt sending emails to Obama,Pelosi and Reid after Nov 4th.

a_yaja is 100% right. Is is upto port of entry(POE) officer to decide I-94 expiry date. Usually that will be 3 months to 6 months longer from the POE date.

Good to see motivated members.....
It is certain that the politicians will not touch the immigration topic in the next one year. Even after best efforts of the president the immigration bill failed in the senate few months ago.
One and only one thing that can be tried before Nov 2008 is the recapture of visa numbers from the last five years. I think IV should push for that.
Other than the above not much can happen, get ready for really long cold winter and then a looong hot summer. I wish things were better.

the second charge of "false statement" to the officer is? That will look negatively on the character of the applicant.
In general traffic citations are minor misdemeanours. Not sure about fishing. But the second charge IMO is a bit serious.

ICE assistant secretary John Morton announced that the government would no longer detain them if they can prove their identities, are not dangerous or a flight risk, and have a credible fear of persecution or torture in their home countries. http://bit.ly/4LM3F1
But it might be a tad early to celebrate.
The details of the plan are not yet clear. As Professor Regina Germaine of the Georgetown University Law Center observed in an email message to an Immigration Professors' Listserve, "the criteria for release has always been (since 1996) the 3 factors mentioned by John Morton - 1) ID, 2) not a danger or flight risk, and 3) credible fear. And the lack of one or more of these factors is cited when ICE refuses to release someone."
So, has Morton announced a new policy or has he simply restated the existing policy in a way which suggests release, but, in fact, will lead to continued detention of asylum seekers?
Another unanswered issue is whether the policy will be followed by ICE officers throughout the country. Professor Margaret Taylor of Wake Forest University suggests it's an open question. "Hopefully there will be 'buy in' and compliance in the field offices with this policy, but history suggests otherwise."
For now let's take the Administration at its word. But time will tell whether the draconian policy of incarcerating people who seek refuge in America has finally come to an end.

Query on behalf of a friend -
What are the timelines for I-539 Change of Status for H1 to H4?
Is premium processing option available for the this change of status?
Friend worked till last week of pregnancy (clean H1 history before). Her 12 weeks of maternity leave is ending soon and looks like the family needs to pay attention to child's condition and she has no choice but to become a full-time mom (another full-time job in itself though). She was in status during her maternity leave (some part of which was covered by STD insurance, remaining unpaid leave totaling 12 weeks under FMLA). She needs to change her status from H1 to H4.
- File for H1-H4 ASAP with in the unpaid leave window
- No premium processing available for H4
