To all IV members and the core team:
Thanks a bunch for mobilizing members to get their voices heard - first at the historic San Jose rally of high-skilled legal immigrants, and now with this monumental effort in DC on September 18th.
Thanks to all your efforts (myself included), we were able to file for Adjustment of Status (AOS), EAD and AP in July, and had the extension till August 17th to file it for those of us who couldn't do it sooner.
Thanks also to the lawmaker(s), and others who voiced their opinions and drew attention to the plight of highly educated, skilled, tax-paying, brilliant, and entrepreneurial folks, waiting for their GCs for as long as a decade.
We finally received our EADs yesterday, and our APs have been approved (awaiting notices).
The road from here to finally becoming permanent residents and perhaps eventually citizens of this great country (for those of us who wish to) is a long, winding one, full of tricky situations, significant risks, and the inevitable delays by the agencies concerned.
We all need to collectively make our voices heard, tell the lawmakers, the media, and the world about our lives that we continue living in limbo, and will be forced to do so for a long long time if we don't act.
I WILL ENTHUSIASTICALLY JOIN THE DC RALLY NEXT WEEK.

I think you are talking about labor certification, but how about I-140
I-140 is specific to PERM labor to the location. If the employer do not apply I-140 within 180 of PERM labor approval that PERM labor will expire.

I have a original copy whereas the lawyer has the approved I140.
Should I ask for the original or is that copy good enough?
This is taken from the 495 instructions:
Evidence of eligibility.
Based on an immigrant petition.
Attach a copy of the approval notice for an immigrant petition that makes a visa number immediately available to you, or submit a complete relative,special immigrant juvenile, or special immigrant military petition which, if approved, will make a visa number immediately available to you.
You do not need the original at all. It is property of the employer.

2. What is the safest & quickest way to get my h1 status active in system..
H1 STAMPING IN HOME CONTRY.
a) Stamping in Canada - Quickest for me. Is it safe ?
FIRST TIME H1B STAMPING NEEDS TO BE DONE IN HOME CONTRY, CHECK WITH ATTORNEY.
b) Get status changed without getting out of country? - But how?
THERE IS APPLICATION TO CHANGE STATUS FROM H4 TO H1, CHECK WITH ATTORNEY.
c) Stamping from Home country? -- Last option.
YES, YOU CAN DO ANY TIME.

Thanks for the reply.
Is it ok to recapture the old priority date which was in EB3 category in current I140 (EB2 category)?
Will it affect the I140 approval anyways?

Hi
I am Technical Director and have been working in the US under o1 visa for 2 years
This visa has initially been sponsored by a company, so I can only work for this company
A lawyer told me that I could self-sponsor another o1 and then be able to work for as much company I want. I have an agent but he is not able to guarantee full time employment.
So I am wondering if I should do that or not.. What are the exact salary requirements for a self-sponsored o1?
I got a good folder, awards, recommendations and publications.
Thanks a lot for your answers

To the best of my knowledge, I am not aware of any "self sponsored O visa". O visa is unfortunately owned by a specific employer and you are only authorized to work for that employer.
What you could consider is to file an EB1A greencard and file it concurrently with I485, EAD and AP and then you can work on EAD for as many employers as you wish. However, your case (awards, recommendations, publications, citations etc) should be a "good case" for EB1A (and generally if you are good for O visa, it is quite likely that you are good for EB1A, but this is not an absoulte rule). Go with a good attorney with experience in EB1 cases.
Good Luck.

I have filed I-485 in Aug2007 and am in retrogression. I am currently working for my sponsoring employer on H1 but also have EAD and AP. I have to go to India to address parents health issues and may have to stay there for possibly 6-9 months. I plan on re-entering using AP.
1) Will my GC application stay active if I am gone for such a long time?
2) My fingerprinting was done long ago - do I need to be in US when my case is adjudicated and GC approval is sent in the mail?
3) Since I will lose my current job due to the long absence, will that be an issue at POA since I wont have a current job or a job offer letter to show the IO?

I am also looking for form I-131.
The current form expired on 02/282009, so they might be working on revision.
I agree with you. The current form expired on 2/28 so they might post a new form tomorrow

Inorder to apply for your 7th year extension, you should have an approved labor certification.
I am not sure if you can get an extension without an approved labor and I140.
You might have a problem.
Also, if you have an approved I40, you should have applied for an extension months before.
You really need a lawyer.

Hello
I am on H1 and 3 months back i came to US.After one month i applied for SSN,but still didnt get that.
when i went to SS office for enquiry 1 week back, they told me that my immigration verification was not done yet. so i had to wait.
can anyone help me with this.
how many days will it took to complete the process??
is there any other way around........
please answer me ASAP.
It usually takes 8 weeks tops to complete (after all dig deeeeeeeep checks). Does your first & last name match on passport, 797 and I-94? - this is one of reasons for delay in issuing a SSN. My 2C

Here are the minutes and action items ---
1. Congressman/woman are to be focussed but Sen. Kennedy 's office is the most important to focus on.
2. AI: Call Sen.Kennedy's office and try to seek an appointment to explain our issues and make presentation. Aim for last week in January.
3. AI: Find out stance of congressman/woman from MA on immigration committee. If any of them are in immigration sub committee. Identify the counties which these lawmakers represent. This will be a good way to filter out the ones we do not have to concentrate on.
4. AI: Make a list of groceries and places frequently visited by immigrants who could become potential IV members.
5. AI: Refine the presentatioin on IV resources section and provide the first draft to rest of team for feedback - 2 weeks.
6. AI: To enquire about the cost involved in posting ad in India New England paper/media.(Cost can be shared among local state chapter members)
7. AI: To enquire about posting ad (one frame) in Belmont theatre where Indian movies are shown. (Cost can be shared among local state chapter members)
8. AI: All members: Publicity of IV using posters and flyers available in IV resource section. Also publicise on sites like immigrationportal.com etc.
Though action items are assigned to certain members, if there's a feeling that you can pitch in please do so.
Important updates from core member: CIR is on top of the list with Sen.Kennedy but the illegal issue is also going to catch up so we should initially push for CIR or Plan B would be to ask for our provisions to be included in a separate bill if CIR gets complicated and is time consuming.
Thanks to everyone who was able to make it. T

I have a valid AP approved on Oct 13, 2007. The H1B visa stamped on my passport expired in Mar 2007. I have a valid one year H1B approval till Mar 2008. I do not have the original I797 approval notice but have a scanned copy of it. Now if I have to travel out of country in July and enter back on AP will there be any trouble at the POE with not having the original approval notice of last H1B.
Any inputs will be appreciated. Thanks
