DHS Leadership Journal Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/graphics/open-share-gray.jpg (http://openhomelandsecurity.ideascale.com/)
In recent days, the Department of Homeland Security has taken a major step toward its priority to create a more open, transparent, efficient, and effective government. As part of President Obama's Open Government Directive, we have now launched the DHS Open Government Initiative (http://www.dhs.gov/open).
The Administration has set four goals for its Open Government effort, calling them the "cornerstone of an open government." The goals DHS will seek are:
improving transparency by providing more information and data about the Department's activities in a timely and accessible manner;
increasing participation by utilizing new tools and strategies to encourage input and feedback from the public;
expanding collaboration with our many partners, both inside and outside government; and
encouraging innovation to find new ways to make the government more open and efficient and save taxpayers money.
The Department of Homeland Security wants your input on our Open Government Plan. How should we increase our transparency to the public? What is the best way to foster a culture of participation? Do you have ideas to help increase collaboration? We want to hear your thoughts and ideas.
The online participation tool (http://openhomelandsecurity.ideascale.com/) will be available until March 19, 2010. You can contribute your own ideas and rate idea others have submitted.

You can take a 2nd additional job if needed..
Not much benefit if your current job is well paying and going well... Even though I applied for EAD, I am not planning to use it.. But just in case.. You never know WWW in US...
And when you invoke AC21.. You must have EAD in hand...
NB: WWW = Work Women Weather...
AC21 can be invoked by transferring H-1b.

Hello Everybody,
This is my story,
1 - Came to US on B2 (visit visa) in October, 1999. My legal stay way valid till April, 2000
2- Found an employer and in March, 2000 filed for H1B/extension of stay. Lawyer at the time told me that since we filed H1 i don't need to file any other extension of stay
3- August, 2000 received approval notice of my H1 but approval notice mentioned start date of October, 2000 rather than March, 2000 as requested in the petition and approval notice did not have the I-94 card attached with it meaning they did not change my status. Appealed the decision and got some feedback from USCIS that they will look into this. Started working for the company in October, 2000. In January, 2001 Company received another notification from USCIS but I was never provided the copy so not sure what was the decision and was told all is fine but never provided the final approval notice. When i checked case status back in January 2001 it said case approved and approval notice sent. However when I check online case status now I see following,
Application Type: I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER
Current Status: Cable sent to American Consulate or port of entry notifying them of approval.
On September 7, 2001, the appropriate American Consulate or port of entry was notified of the approval of this case. Please contact them directly if you need more information.
4 - In 2002 transferred my H1 to new company and got the approval with new I-94 card without any issues.
5- In 2004 transferred my H1 to another company without any issues and I�m with that company since then. They filed my labor, I-140 which has been approved and now ready to file I-485. Lawyer of this company wants to attach the approval notice of my first H1 from 2000 with I-94 card attached to it showing proof of my change of status which i don't have. I have approval notice without I-94 card from 2000.
6- I also left the country in 2006 and went to Canada for two weeks and then came back in the same month without any issues.
Current lawyer is fling I-485 without my first approval notice from 2000. Do you think this would cause issues or generate RFE for I-485? I heard that once you leave the country and re-enter legally all previous status issues if any are put to rest, I left the country in July 2006 and re-enter in the same month?
Please provide your input on my case...many thanks!!!

Please help me in this regard.
I came to US in Sep 2003 using H4 visa. Later in 2004 I applied for H1 visa with two different companies. first one got approved in Oct 2004, second one got approved in Nov 2004. I started working with the second company since Dec 2004.
Now, is it wrong not joining the first company upon approval. Since H1 status starts as soon as visa is approved, have i violated any status rules here by not working with first company at all?. What would be my status since the first H1 was approved and until i started working with second company?
Had i been out of status during the time period between Oct and Nov 2004?
Thank you.

HI All,
Please help me to sort out this difficult query.
Company 'X' holds my H1 Visa and i got an offer from comapny 'Y'
So i can easily xfer my H1 to company 'Y'
But i am expecting a better offer from company 'Z' in couple of days probably 2-3 weeks.It can be also the scenerio tht they may offer me in a day or two when my H1 xfer is already in process from company 'X' to 'Y'
In that case when can i xfer my H1 to company Z?
The worst solution is to get my Visa xfer to company 'Y' and after a month or so get it xfered to 'Z'. Is that possible and allowed to xfer it so quickly?
Please help.

I'm in a similar boat......
You can file after April 10 (six months to October 10), correct?
Are you planning to get your visa stamped while your are in India? The earliest date to appear for visa stamping is 90 days before the visa start date. I dont know if this rule is very strict or applicable in this case.

I agree , We have a lot of Professionals among us and such activities will certainly help.
Some of our members are very experienced in for ex: EAD questions, AC21 questions etc. We can build a skill DB and advertise these services at a much lower rates, Only hitch would be since we are not really Lawyers we may not be too accurate

Unfortunately, a 212(a)(3)(B) finding would also prevent you from getting a GC based on your marriage to a US citizen.
You are entitled to renewal of your EAD as long as your GC remains pending.

Hey Gurus,
I am in confusion here.
I applied for my I-485(EB2, PD= Dec,2006) in july 2007. I was married that time and my wife was in India. She didnt get delhi consulate appointment so i missed her while i applied for my I - 485. Now she is in US on H4 visa. I got RFE last month on my I 485 regarding employment verification. I have replied for RFE.
My Question here is:-
If I get my green card(that chances are very less because my PD are not current... but on safe side), How i can add her into GC or 485 stage.
Have your docs ready. If your PD does become current send them such they reach on the first working day of the month your PD is current.

Gurus,
Please advice. THis is urgent. Here is my situation.
I worked for a very big technology company. My PERM is approved EB2 PD 03/07, I-140 approved, 485 pending since July2007. I have an EAD card that is valid until 07/2010. It was my company's policy to renew H1B even if I have an EAD card. An extension was applied in September 2008 for my H1B that expired on November 30,2008. Unfortunately, USCIS denied it in error because they said the filing fee was not correct. This was done in error by USCIS and the attorney hired by my company replied to me on December 30h saying that it will be corrected by them. Now on January 08th, 2009 after the H1B denial, my company informed me that i was being laid off with severence pay until April of 2009. Also, the HR person told me that they wont revoke I-140.
What are my options now?
Can i transfer H1B to a new company as i dont want to use my EAD and continue on H1B. If yes, how much time do i have?
Please please help. I am very tensed.

My company filed an I-140 in December 2009. The petition (an EB2) was APPROVED in May 2010. A month or so later, I was laid off but BEFORE the I-485 was ever filed. As far as I know, the I-140 has not been revoked. What are my potential options here? Can I find a new employer to file a 485 provided the new job is similar to the I-140 petition or do they have to start the whole process again?
The new employer needs to apply new labor and I-140. However, You can keep your priority date based on your previously approved I-140.
In short, Your place in line is not changed but the process must start from beginning.

I would wait it out if I were you. Why the risk at this stage?
Risk/Benefit analysis is not in favour of anything but staying put if you ask me.
What if in the 8-9 months it will take to get to this stage, the EB3 date skips forward, worse yet what if they take a hard stand on conversion cases due to the number they are seeing and you get denied.
It all depends of course on your personal circumstances, but I can't see the logic in it.

Cap on skilled immigration unlawful: UK court - World News - IBNLive (http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cap-on-skilled-immigration-unlawful-uk-court/137822-2.html?from=tn)
London: A temporary cap on the number of skilled workers from India and other countries outside the European Union was introduced in June 'unlawfully', the High Court ruled on Friday.
Home Secretary Theresa May had introduced the cap as an interim measure before a permanent cap to be in place from April 2011. It was challenged on the ground that ministers had 'sidestepped' parliamentary scrutiny before announcing the
temporary cap.
The legal challenge to the cap of 24,100 until April 2011 was brought by the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI) and English Community Care Association, and was upheld by judges on Friday.
The Home Office said this did not imperil its flagship immigration policy but the opposition Labour said the police it was in "chaos" after the court ruling.
The ruling has nullified the current temporary cap, meaning it is no longer in force.
The cap was one of the first measures of the coalition government that promised to bring down immigrations from hundreds of thousands every year to 'tens of thousands.
In today's ruling, Lord Justice Sullivan and Justice Burton concluded that the home secretary had not gone through the proper parliamentary procedures before implementing the cap, which took effect without a vote in Parliament.
The judges said: "The secretary of state made no secret of her intentions. There can be no doubt that she was attempting to side-step provisions for Parliamentary scrutiny set up under provisions of the 1971 Immigration Act and her attempt was for that reason unlawful." As a result, it said no lawful limits were now in place for Tier One and Tier Two applicants from abroad. The Home Office said it was still "firmly committed" to reducing levels of net migration. "I am disappointed with today's verdict," Immigration minister Damian Green said, adding: "We will do all in our power to continue to prevent a rush of applications before our more permanent measures are in place".

I've received this letter from DOL by mail. I think this is in response to the fax that i sent through IV a while ago. I am posting the contents of the letter here.
U.S. Department of Labor
Employment and Training Administration
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20210
Aug 28 2006
<My name here>
<My address here>
Dear Mr. <My name here> :
Your letter to Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao was referred to this office for reply. The Office of Foreign Labor Certification in the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is responsible for administering the Department's Foreign Labor Certification Program. You expressed your concern with the processing of cases by the Backlog Elimination Processing Centers.
We share your concern regarding the lack of transparency in the Permanent Backlog System and are working on approaches to provide additional information. The criteria for processing a case are dependent upon the timely and complete response of the applicant to all issues and to the First In, First Out (FIFO) status of case. However, assuming two applications with the same priority date, there are several factors that account for different processing times. These include the type of application (Reduction-In-Recruitment Vs. Traditional Recruitment), the stage of processing at which the application was received by the Processing Center, the dates of other applications pending at each center (which determines each application's place within the FIFO queue), the quality of the application (applications that raise questions take longer), and the response time of the employer to center requests for confirmation to continue processing the application. Nevertheless, based on our current progress, we estimate the permanent program's backlog of cases will be eliminated by September 30, 2007.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. <My name here> :
Your letter to Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao was referred to this office for reply. The Office of Foreign Labor Certification in the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is responsible for administering the Department's Foreign Labor Certification Program. You expressed your concern with the processing of cases by the Backlog Elimination Processing Centers.
We share your concern regarding the lack of transparency in the Permanent Backlog System and are working on approaches to provide additional information. The criteria for processing a case are dependent upon the timely and complete response of the applicant to all issues and to the First In, First Out (FIFO) status of case. However, assuming two applications with the same priority date, there are several factors that account for different processing times. These include the type of application (Reduction-In-Recruitment Vs. Traditional Recruitment), the stage of processing at which the application was received by the Processing Center, the dates of other applications pending at each center (which determines each application's place within the FIFO queue), the quality of the application (applications that raise questions take longer), and the response time of the employer to center requests for confirmation to continue processing the application. Nevertheless, based on our current progress, we estimate the permanent program's backlog of cases will be eliminated by September 30, 2007.
Sincerely,
