Silicon Valley Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
Former Secretary of State and advisor to two presidents, Condoleezza Rice, addressed the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce earlier this week at their annual fundraiser. She warned about the need for immigration reform (http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_13717697), explaining "The United States of America had better reform its immigration policy to make sure that the most ambitious people in the world still want to be a part of us. We are a society of immigrants, and if we ever think that we can close our doors, we will suffer the same fate of those in Europe and other places."
As an immigration lawyer, I have posted before about the need for our immigration laws (http://www.siliconvalleyimmigrationlawyer.com/2009/10/immigration-laws-must-allow-th.html)to encourage the world's best and brightest to come and stay in the U.S. As for Europe, many European countries have far stricter immigration laws than the U.S. While I don't know what the sorry "fate" is that Former Secretary of State Rice was alluding to in her address, stricter immigration laws are not the answer to raising the U.S. out of its current economic downturn and high unemployment.

Hi,
I am in a unique situation, any advise/help would be appreciated.
My H1 Visa and I-94 are expiring on Jan 20, 2009. It can be extended till Apr 2011 as I have been in US only for 3 Yrs and 8 Months. My current employer is not extending my Visa, so I am going to get it extended through another company, say COMPANY ABC (a Staffing company basically).
However, I don't want to be with Company ABC because I am soon going to get a job with a direct client, CLIENT XYZ, but that won't happen until Jan 25th or so.
So my question is, if I apply for extension through COMPANY ABC for now, just so that I don't go 'out of status' on Jan 20th, will CLIENT XYZ be able to apply for my extension on Jan 25th, while my application with Company ABC is still pending? Or they (CLIENT XYZ) will have to wait until my first application (With COMPANY ABC) is processed?
Basically, just want to know if a Company ABC has filed for H1 Transfer and I-94 extension before the expiry date, can another Company XYZ file for an extension/transfer after the expiry while the application from company ABC is still being processed?
Any help is appreciated. I have posted this query on couple of other posts but no one seems to know the answer! no one replied yet :(

Hi,
My company prepared for my PERM filing in EB2 category. They did all recruitement efforts. But at the time of filing, company annouced some lay-offs as "restructuring". Now my lawyer says, it is their policy not to file for PERM before six months of any lay -offs since some lay -offs involve same job title as my labor supposed to be filed. Since this is my lawyer's policy, My question is, is it safe to file PERM right now? What if I use different job title then the one my lawyer used before for recruitement efforts. (I understand he has to do new recruitement efforts for this ne job title, but is it safe?). What choices do I have, I do not want to delay my PERM filing. Please help...
Thanks
Most companies don't file any PERM applications within 6 months of any major layoffs.

Hi,
company A did H1B and H4 (both approval notices. No Visas stamped yet)
company B is doing H1b only. Can the dependent candidate stay on company A's sponsored H4 approval ?
sincerely appreciate any input
Thanks in Advance
No need to file H4 till her current H4 expires. As long as you are maintaining continuous H1 status (without gaps), H4 would remain active till its current validity even if primary H1 applicant changes jobs. You can file her H4 extension of stay petition 90 days in advance from the current H4 expiration date.

Itis the first court hearing in the Obama administration's lawsuit against Arizona's new immigration law, a case that sets up a rare clash between the U.S. Department of Justice and an individual state over one of the nation's most divisive political issues
Wonder what this lawsuit will bring to immigration reform discussion?

Does anyone have any insights or theories on why PERM processing is so badly delayed at Atlanta? And why are applications being processed out of order? People who filed in Jan 06 are getting approved while those who with priority dates in 2005 are still waiting. Does anybody have ANY idea? There should be some transparency in the process. It's just a black box right now and that makes the process ten times more frustrating.

It's always good to have the right info on the form. If I remember correctly - you may request to correct the info 48 hours before your scheduled interview at the respective consulate or VFS (please double check).
I have had issues before with the online form i.e. my full address was not printed out correctly, in another situation I filled the form for my parents and forgot to sign the form (prepared by). There was never an issue. We all got VISA without a question

Hi,
I got a card production email on 6/25, got the 485 approval notice in the mail on 6/27 but haven't received the card yet as of today, 7/1. Anyone seen this sort of long delay in getting the card?
Thanks,

I took my citizenship exam one week before having 5 years pass on green card, I passed the test but the officer told me that I have to wait until I complete 5 years holding the green card, then I should receive a letter informing me with the oath ceremony�s date. It�s been a month and I have not received any letter. I am starting to get worried because I know some people who had that process stretched by couple of years. Does anyone know the duration between the citizenship test and the oath ceremony?
Note: I live in northern Virginia.

Wondering if a little something when filing my taxes will backfire on me when filing I-140/485.
I'm single/no dependents but for past 4 yrs or so when filing taxes have showed 2 dependents for child tax credit (no earned income credit applied for)....my niece/nephew. My bro had full knowledge and he had suggested as due to his status in US, he is not required to file taxes. Sis in law not working, so not filing taxes. So i used to do that....
It won't come to bite me right???? ok i am never doing this from now on but is it too late for me. Obviously on my immigation forms i will show no dependents etc as i have none...
any advice.....

I got one more LUD for I-485
ie., I got One on Mar 18th and the othe LUD on Mar 25. What dows this mean.
Can somebody clarify...
It seems that whenever they open file a LUD is generated, e.g.
..FP done
..FP Oked
..I sent docs for e-filed EAD, when they received they put a LUD
Soft LUD is happening amounts to some activity happening with file/case.

My employer filled EB-2 PERM for me on 12/2007.
My I-140 is approved on 07/2008.
Now I am worry about losing my job.
If this happens, maybe I will switch to NIW pathway later.
Now I wonder whether NIW can use the PD of PERM?
My attorney is not sure about this.
Anyone here succeed in this?
Thank you very much!
AFAIK, your PD can be used across any EB - 1, 2, or 3 categories and not EB- 4 and 5. So in my opinion, you should be able to port your PD.
