Yep. I watched it too. Nothing about legal immigrants who came on visas. Gonzales says "We are not going to sacrifice security and quality for production". So, coming from the chief himself...that says it all. What we can derive from that is...the mentality of USCIS seems to be to prolong the process as much as possible thus raking in the moolah for USCIS and at the same time defend their actions by playing the "Quality" and "Security" ball game. Not sure if anybody can change their attitude towards legal immigrants.
I saw the programme too....It was so stupid of Gonzales! If they are going to take 6 months to find out that a person is terrorist, isn't that stupid! Should'nt they find that out in few hours instead of taking 6 months or for that matter 2-3 years for security clearence! What to say! Just have to live with it!

That is not a problem at all. You can apply for EAD renewal as long as your AOS pending (i.e., I-485).

My check bounced...I did not have enough money in my bank account. What to do? I am so confused.
I remember reading some where that they will try 2 to 3 times to get the check cashed so try put some money in the bank and keep ur fingures crossed.
All the best

Here is my suggestion:
Apply for H-4 as this should be straight-forward and fly your wife the US in March. Prepare H-1 papers and get it ready to reach USCIS on April 1st.
If H-1 is acceped in lottery(assuming there is going to be one), then H-1 status starts from October 1st. For travel purpose your wife will have to get H-1 stamping (which can happen only after October 1st).
Hope this helps.
If am in your situation, i will go with the above approach...

This is from my lawyer,
"What Are the Immigration Consequences of the Government Shutting Down?
As Congress continues its budgetary deadlock, the possibility of a government shutdown looms larger by the minute. If Congress is unable to reach accord on Friday, the government will close at midnight, Saturday April 9.
In general, if the government shuts for budgetary reasons, all but "essential" government are furloughed and not allowed to work. So what does this mean for immigration agencies?
USCIS: A couple of shutdown threats back, a USCIS official stated at a stakeholder engagement that USCIS (other than the human touches on E-Verify) would not need to shut down, since all of the agency, other than E-Verify, is funded by fees. However, it is not clear that this is the case, and at least one local office has indicated that it is working on its shutdown plan. We will update as we get more information.
DOS: If there is a shutdown, the result for DOS will likely be the same as it was in the 1996 government closing. Then, the only visa issuance being done was for some diplomats and for "life or death" situations. As DOS is wont to say "a really, really important business meeting is not life or death."
CBP: Inspection and law enforcement are considered "essential personnel," though staffing may be more limited than usual. The borders will be open, and CBP is unsure of how the shutdown will affect the processing of applications filed at the border.
EOIR: EOIR has been advised to "put its shutdown plans in place." As with other agencies, personnel who are not considered "essential" will be furloughed. EOIR has indicated that the detained docket would likely be considered an essential function and would therefore be able to continue in operation.
DOL: DOL is making plans for a possible shutdown. If there is a shutdown, DOL personnel will not be available to respond to e-mail or other inquiries. We do not know at this point whether iCERT/PERM would continue to function. However, because the systems require funding to run, practitioners should assume that they would not be available."

Hello,
Sorry to read that! May your son have a speedy recovery...
Here are some considerations:
IF you are laid off .... in this economy, if you are still holding your job, then the chances of you losing it are low, so be optimistic.
But, in case you are laid off:
a) How would you support yourself and family in US plus your son's medical bills? Wouldn't it be cheaper to be in your home country (unless it is UK/Europe)?
b)The only visa that I can think of is the visitor visa, but on that visa, you can stay in US only 6-m at a time
Good luck!

I am asking this question for relative of mine. I wanted to get some honest opinions.
My relative was manager in India for family company (extended family) for 3-4 years. He received visitor visa about 2 years ago, and subsequently arrived in US.
After taking extended tour of US, he felt that he could expand Indian company's business in US. His companied in India tried to open up business in US. He received L1A for 1 year. However, due to bad economy, business advantature wasn't successful.
He wanted to try to stay in US and try some other management position for established company. Subsequently applied for H1B. He recently received denial notice from USCIS.
Currently, original L1A is expired. L1A extension is pending (lawyer was late in filing, and only filed 7 days before expiration of original L1A).
Is he out of status at this point (expired L1A and denied H1B)? L1A extension is still pending.
What are his option if he wants to stay LEGALLY in US?
Please excuse my ignorance but I do not know much about immigrations, as I am US Citizen myself and never had to go through this grusome process.
I would also appreciate attorney's input.

Hi,
Here is my story, your help & information will be appreciated...
1. I am currently working for Company A on L1B.
2. I applied for my H1B through company B while I was in US, which got approved and is valid from Oct 2007.
3. Now, my Company B which filed for my H1B had also applied for a Change of Status with the H1 & I have got my Change of Status notice along with the H1b approval. This means that my status will change to H1 from October and my L1B will not be valid.
Now, my problem is that I do not want to Join the New company until December.
However, can I still work with my company A on L1B even if after October.
Is there any Solution where we can reverse the change of Status?? and will i still be able to work on L1B after October even if my status is H1B. Will my L1B be valid or it will get cancelled???

Hello I am leaving for India in two days and have still not received my H1B approval. The receipt date is May 19th 2009. It is being processed at the CA center, is there anything I can to do get it soon.
It was a regular processing one, not the Premium processing one.
Help please!!!!
I am not sure what kind of help you are expecting from members. It seems you already are aware of Premium Processing (PP) service. If you had travel plans, you should have filed H1 under PP and not under regular processing. Anyways, you can upgrade your pending H1 to PP now by filing a form I-907 along with a copy of H1 receipt notice. But I dont think you will get your approval in the next 2 days. It usually takes atleast a week to 10 days to get it, that if its approved with no RFEs.

It is true that immigration is not at all reason for unemployment. When unemployment increases that will decrease immigration to some extent. We could see that in h1b numbers and also illegal immigration. But future immigration will depend on how fast jobs are created when recovery starts.
From Business Week: A report released on Tuesday makes the case that increased immigration is not a cause of increased unemployment in the U.S. The study, �The Unemployment Disconnect: Untying the Knot,� was issued by the Immigration Policy Center, the research arm of the American Immigration Law Foundation, an association of immigration lawyers that generally supports pro-immigration policies. The study sets out with the assertion that if immigrants are taking jobs away from native-born workers, �one would expect to find high unemployment rates in those parts of the country with large numbers of immigrants.� Examining state, county, and metropolitan area...
