Quick survey to findout how many people like the idea of having their passports restamped here in USA and avoid all the surprises and shocks. This doesn't need any legal fixes. It is a convenient measure for everyone. Besides it was an old practice that was stopped for "security" reasons or some crapp. It is a small step but helps with any cases like family emergency or some urgent business need to travel abroad.
Based on the poll results and suggestions, we can comeup with a strategy to address the issue.

I think you are fine - if it happened more than 5 years ago, and you have completed your sentence and it wasn't a crime of moral turpitude - you should have no issues. BUT be prepared to tell the USCIS interviewer everything AND take along all the court papers etc showing you have completed your sentence - to be on the safe side.
Good Luck!!

Are there instances where the processing time before interview will exceed to more than 3 mos? Is it also true that during the embassy interview, you are currently working? I am a nurse and my agency told me that I should still be practicing as a nurse during the time my packet 4 comes.
I'm really having some problems because I am intending to go to Ireland by June. But now here comes the Mar 1, 06 PD. What if it would take me again another year to wait for my US visa. I am really sick of waiting.

Hi all,
[cross-posted to "ask attorney section" as well]
My spouse (Indian citizen) has received an RFE for her derivative I485 application.
Her birth certificate has a different first name than her passport. We had filed the birth certificate and an affidavit from her parents attesting to the change. But that doesn't seem to be sufficient.
The RFE states:
"Your birth certificate indicates that your first name is XXX and not YYY. Please explain and submit additional documentation in support of your claim".
...
"Copies of the personal pages in your passport OR affidavits are not sufficient to establish a legal name change. Court documents submitted as evidence of name change must have been registered with the proper civil authority".
We now plan to submit the following:
1. Court Affidavit filed by my spouse's father at that time of legal name change, at age 3. This affidavit was before a Sessions Judge in India. This was the legal process of changing her name at that time.
Will this be sufficient? We don't understand what it means for a court document to be registered with the proper civil authority. Can you please advice?
2. My spouse has a Certificate of Age, Domicile and Nationality issued by the State Goverment of Maharashtra that refers to the new first name and also refers to the birth certificate as well, as proof.
Will that count as sufficient "registration with civil authority"?
I would appreciate if someone who has gone through this issue would comment on the proper ways of addressing this.
thanks!

I140 Mailed Date : 08/01/2006
I485 Mailed Date : 07/23/2006
How is this possible?
I was jsut curious.
It is possible. There is a relatively unknown technique called TT (abbreviation for Time Travel) which is also relatively related to relativity. When applied correctly, it is more effective than PD recapturing and labor substitution. That's how I got my green. If you like to know more, PM me and we can discuss my consultation fees and then see if TT is right for you.

Hi,
I am currently on h1b visa without a project from past 1 year in US and my employer asked me to convert to L2 visa dependent on my husband who is on L1 visa . I do not have any paystubs for my stamping. If I go to canada consulate for stamping, what is the success rate for my visa being approved?Will I be able to come back to US without any issues.Also, can you suggest me to which consulate should I go for my stamping?Please help!
Thanks.
If you didnot receive pay for 1 year means you were illegal in USA. This site is for highly skilled Legal immigrants. you can file a complaint against ur empoyer for not paying wage once you are on L2. If you win case against ur employer keep record with u and go for l2 stamping .. you should not have any issue.
Note : I am not an attorney. This is my view and can be differ from other.

Yes. I have been getting this message when I login from work as well as home computer. I generally check my EAD application status once every 2-3 days and yet USCIS thinks that is an "excessive" use. I am pretty sure they have some issue with the website.
It was reported to us that your computer or internet gateway has been locked out for a select period of time. This is due to an unusually high rate of use. If you feel this has occurred incorrectly, please contact the Customer Service Center for assistance at 1.800.375.5283.

i think at re-entry for the 485 pending /AP applicants, there is a POSSIBILITY that the officers could question you bout ur existing employment. For such cases people r adviced to carry the current employers letter along with copy of 485 receipt for safety sake.
with that in mind, if all possible, using ur EAD(after that 180 day rule) , get a job may be collect a paystub or 2 , get a letter and then use the AP.
in many other forums, pple have shared info such as "officer asked me if im still employed with the same employer who filed for GC." etc etc . its better to carry something atleast to prove that when asked.

Ask your company if they can do your H1 extension under CORP thus the legal entity does not change and there should be no issue.
It seems like for your initial H1, it was a mistake on their part that they filed you H1 under CORP while you were actually paid by the BANK. Can you ask them why they did that in the first place?
If it's a mistake on their part, there's no reason why you should suffer and they must take every effort to help you out. Work with them, talk to your manager, his/her manager and explain them the issue. It's an internal thing and I'm sure can be worked out.
Hope this helps.

Looks like you have too many people checking status at your company :)
Remember USCIS server sees the IP address of the proxy...
I can understand if someone is calling too many times. Looks like the USCIS computers are also feeling fed up. :p
Check the message I got when I was trying to see the details of my case online
"It was reported to us that your IP address or internet gateway has been locked out for a select period of time. This is due to an unusually high rate of use. In order to avoid this issue, please create a Customer account (single applicant) or a Representative account (representing many individuals)."
I am logging in after many days and I was checking it for the first time today

There are two sides to the issue : strengthening the domestic workforce through education, research investment etc and then there is skilled immigration. The first half no doubt enjoys unanimous support ... however, when it comes to promoting skilled immigration, it is a pretty safe bet that the anti-immigrant lobby is going to play hard ball (already evident from the SF gate article). Overcoming this lobby is the whole challenge ..

Your parents can visit you for short trips as often as they like (within reason). But if they stay for an extended period (ie. the full 6 months stamped on the I94), then there is an implicit time gap requirement. In other words if your parents stay with you for 6 months then go back to their country and return to the US after 1 month, most likely they will not get a 6 month stamp the second time. In this scenario they might have plan their trip back to the US after 9 month or so. On the other hand if your parent stay with you for 1 month in the US, then leave for an other country and come back in 15 days, they should not have a problem with re-entry.
G'luck!

ComputerWorld (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9142806/Court_orders_three_H_1B_sites_disabled) reports about a New Jersey judge that has ordered the shutdown of three H-1B opposition Web sites.
Middlesex County Superior Court Judge James Hurley ordered firms that register domains and provide hosting services -- GoDaddy Inc., Network Solutions, Comcast Cable Communications Inc. and DiscountASP.Net, to disable the three sites, ITgrunt.com, Endh1b.com, and Guestworkerfraud.com. Facebook Inc. was also ordered to disable ITgrunt's Facebook page.
The order was made in response to a libel lawsuit filed by IT services and consulting firm Apex Technology Group Inc., based in Edison, N.J. against the three Web sites opposing the H-1B visa program (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html). Such attacks on H1B supporters increased last year as the economic situation was gloomy, and prospects for employment were not looking good. Yet, we all know that the H1B program is not the cause of all evil and in fact is a boosting factor in creation of new jobs and opportunities for American workers. Lets hope that the antis will take it easy in 2010, and focus on the real issues at stake.

The DREAM Act could come up for a cloture vote as early as this week, but faces tough opposition from Republicans -- including a few who, like McCain, previously supported the bill.
Some will likely vote against the DREAM Act citing timing. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) plans to bring up the bill for a cloture vote as early as Wednesday, but all 42 Republican senators have said they would filibuster any bills not related to tax cuts.
As the Senate struggles to come to agreement on the tax cuts and other issues, the DREAM Act could lose its few Republican supporters. Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), a co-sponsor of the DREAM Act, would vote against the bill if it came up this week, spokesman Mark Helmke said.
"You have to handle the spending bills, tax legislation and START first," Helmke said. "If we get those three things, he's willing to stay in and take up the DREAM Act."
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/06/mccain-shoots-down-dream-_n_792809.html
Others Republican senators oppose the bill on its substance, even those who supported previous iterations of the bill. McCain now supports increased border enforcement and argues the border should be secured before the Senate can take up immigration issues such as the DREAM Act. Buchanan, his spokeswoman, attributed McCain's change in position to the increase in drug cartel violence in Mexico near the United States border.
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) was an original sponsor of the bill in 2001. Earlier in the year, he seemed supportive of the DREAM Act when he was asked about the bill at a town hall meeting.

When 140 is denied, then 485 is also denied. Appeal going to AAO is common thing. Will sit there forever. Its takes approximately 12-20 months to get a reply.
Mine is already crossed 12 months now.
Hope this helps.
