Sorry for the confusion. i am not deported. One of my company's new employee was deported at POE. Yes. POE did called my employer and asked where he is going to work. My employer said he is going to work on our company site. Then the officer said your empoyee told us that he is going to work at client site. Then the officer said he will call back.
Officer called back after 30min and told my employer that your emplyee submitted some fraud document. And then my employer said i am not liable what he did and explined the officer that he was doing bussinees more than 8 years and have all the proper documents.
Then the officer said he understand the situation and said he is just doing duty. Officer said he is going to send a report to DOL.

I have received my green card 5 months ago and still working for the same GC filing employer(a consulting company). My wife had an RFE on her GC, since she could not take MMR at 2007 fiasco time. We have recently replied with the evidence. Now my project is getting over at the client site in next couple of weeks. I am sure that I can lose my job at consulting company also.
My question is, what happens to wife's GC? What if there is another RFE and how can I reply it?
Please let me know my options.
BTW - change your user id to GC_EB2_Received
!!!!! Just Kidding.

My mother scheduled a trip to USA on May 1st. I am concerned about her passport. Her old passport got wet on the borders of the first two and last two pages. VISA was stamped in the old passport which seems to be safe. I do not see any wet appearance on the borders of the VISA page. The old wet passport expired anyway. And she got new one. Will it be safe to travel with these two passport having wet old passport containing VISA stamp? Thanks.
It may sound harsh.
Airlines will no longer take responsibility over the travel documents.
Considering her age and POE situation, you should think about transfering VISA to the new passport. What would be the expense, $150? It is worth.
They are old. Make their travel comfortable, convenient, enjoyable and most importantly secured.

Hi All,
Yesterday we e-filed for my wife's 3rd EAD and 4th AP. This will be our first efile.
As we need to send supporting documents for both applications.
Should we send them in one package or two?
Printed address for both application is same!
Is it because I-131 is being considered as child request of I-765?
Thanks in advance.

I filed the Labor Certification since September, 07 and got audited in November, 07. The response was sent to DOL in November, 07. I have not heard anything since then. Also, my H1B visa expired in the early of May, 08. I left US on April 28, 08. I�m very frustrated and depressed, and the lawyer is very unhelpful. I got questions as follows:
1) Should I refile the Labor Certification with my current employer in the new position? How about the audit? Should I request to DOL to withdraw the application first and refile the new one? Will my PD be changed according to the new filing date?
2) What would be the best way about H1B visa? I was out of US for one and a half month during these 6 years of H1B period. I heard that the vacation can be recapped, and I will be able to go back to US in the mid of July, 08 due to the pending PERM application for 365 days. In this case, should I start filing the H1B recapture with the H1 Extension now since my application will be pending for a year by the mid of July, 08 (include one and a half month times out of US). Otherwise, should I wait and start the application in the mid of July, 08?
3) If my Labor Certification is pending again till the end of one year extension (in the case of getting the approval on one year extension), do I have to leave US again?
4) I wonder if I should wait outside US for a year until the early of May, 09. Then, reapply the new 6 year- H1B visa again. Can my current employer do that for me? Would it be the better option comparing to the H1B recapture and H1B extension? In the case of starting the new application, when should I start the application? I heard the new H1B cap usually starts around the early of April and will be filled up within a couple days. Also, I have to wait for one year prior to applying for a new H1B, counting the day that my visa expired. So, does it mean that I have to wait till the early of May, 09 to be eligible to send the H1B application since the application will be rejected from USCIS in the case of submitting it prior to the early of May, 09 (one year rule)? Will the cap be filled up by then and what will I do?
Anybody, please advise. Thank you very much.

In Wake of Immigration Law, Calls for an Economic Boycott of Arizona - NYTimes.com (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/27/us/27arizona.html?ref=us)
La Opini�n, the nation�s largest Spanish-language newspaper, urged a boycott in an editorial Monday, as did the Rev. Al Sharpton, and calls for such action spread to social media sites. The San Francisco city attorney and members of the Board of Supervisors said they would propose that the city not do business with the state.
They followed the lead of Representative Ra�l M. Grijalva, Democrat of Arizona, who had urged conventions to skip the state, though other Democrats who oppose the law, including Mayor Phil Gordon of Phoenix, pleaded for people not to punish the entire state.
Tourism and convention managers, struggling to rebound from the recession, said it was too soon to tell if the effort would have an impact, but some businesses said people were turning away from the state.
At the Arizona Inn in Tucson, the manager, Will Conroy, said that over the weekend 12 customers canceled reservations or said they would not return to the state because of the law.
Tourism officials said such accounts were not widespread, but they were concerned that the rancor was tarnishing the state�s image and were mindful of the boycott in the 1980s that led to Arizona�s officially observing Martin Luther King�s Birthday after initially rejecting it as a holiday.

My wife got EAD card while she was on H-4 (I am on h-1). She used it for few months. She got RFE for 485 for visascreen (for nurses). It looks like she will not be able to produce the visascreen certificate within the RFE date and after grace period (33 days after denial notice of RFE).
Now when she gets the denial notice for I-485, subsequently, the EAD status becomes invalid. in this case, what will be the staus?
H-4 or no staus?
Upon the denial, do i need to reapply for H-4 status or she gets the h-4 status automatically since she has H-4 and EAD evan though she used EAD in the past.
Currently on passport, the H-4 status expires on Feb 08.

The application procedures vary based on the consulate you are planning to visit for visa stamping.
so which consulate you are planning to visit to get visa stamping? no need for emergency appointment if you are planning to get it done in india.
in india, from October 2006 things are changed, you can get appointment easily, even now there are dates available in december (also in november). if you book now, you can get appointment in december.
check VFS sites. if you have any questions about the eliglibity, contact VFS numbers or send email from the following page:
https://www.vfs-usa.co.in/ApplnForms/RulesAndFees/CustomerFeedback.aspx
also you can check appointment dates at one of the indian consulates at the following page and at the bottom of the page, click the link 'Click here for an estimate of current availability of visa interview appointments':
https://www.vfs-usa.co.in/Home.aspx
To book appointment in VFS site, you need HDFC receipts from HDFC bank branch for each of the applicants, so for procedure, check fees and forms link in this VFS site.
At the beginning, the principal applicant can create one application with his/her hdfc receipt number with other reqd details and later can add their dependents at later stage of application. You can fill other DS-156/157 forms here.
good luck!!!!
Disclaimer:
I'm not an immigration attroney, so consult one for your situations as laws/procedures keep changing.
Hello All - I understand from the website that the people already working in the US qualify for an emergency appointment if they are returning back to work in the US. Does anyone if this rule is also applicable it is the first time you are getting a H1-B visa stamp? I got a COS and am planning to get a stamp in December. I know that more dates are available now .. but was wondering if the need arises will I eligible for emergency appointment?
Thanks!

I am in 6th year of my H1B. It is expiring in Aug 2011.
Here are some details:
- My I-140 is approved with a priority date of Aug 2006 under EB2-India.
- I did not apply for I-485 so I do not have a EAD.
- My wife is also on H1B which expires in Aug 2012.
Here are my questions:
1) If I apply for H1B extension in July 2011 under regular processing and assuming it takes 4-5 months for USCIS to process the application, can I still continue to work? For how many days can I work if visa renewal is still in processing after the visa has expired.
2) If I get a denial of H1B extension do I become out of status from the date of denial or from the day H1B got expired?
3) If I get a denial of H1B extension can I immediately apply for H4 as a dependent to my wife's visa without any issues?
4) If I get a denial of H1B extension, what happens to my I-140? Is it automatically invalid?
5) If I do convert to H4 status and my priority date becomes current can I apply for I-485?

I am in the same situation as thesaintmav. My priority date is Mar 03.
I am really curious to find out more about the conversion process from EB3 to EB2, especially, whether it can be done staying in the same company.
Waiting for the EB3 pointer to move from Apr 01 to Mar 03 might take ages, I would guess at least 1 to 1.5 years - given that the EB3 visas are retrogressed in "all categories" - not just India or China.

Hello gurus,
I woked with Company A and got my I140 approved(PD sep 04 EB2). I had issue with Company A that they asked me wait to apply my I485 in july 2007 wave. I frustrated and moved to Company B and substitued another labor(PD May-2002 EB3), got theI140 approval and 485 is pending from july 2007. In the Meantime, Company A withdrawn my approved EB2 I140 petition couple of months ago to protect one of their employee I140 petition.
Currently i believe the situvation is not good for EB3 and planned to enable my "Company A" I140 petition to apply for I485. Will USCIS allow company A to enable the withrdrawn I140 petition to apply my I485? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Natan
