Immigration Voice has taken a position against the bill in its current form. .
And that is the position of everyone in this country except 20 insider deal senators.
You offer amendments after you take position on the bill - for or against. Everyone does it. There are people who would oppose the bill both before entering the amendments and after their own amendments are passed.
In the current position, the bill is unacceptable to us and it would be foolish to say "Thanks for screwing us with 90K, we accept it and support your screwing us".
Have some dignity man...
But what if some amendment convert 90K to 190K ? Will IV support the bill then? I think the entire bill is not that bad we can swing it into our favor by changing few details :)

Yep..they just noted that I came for the initial appointment and asked to come after my finger heals..i had surgery on the finger and went back after the finger healed
If you dont mind telling me, which ASC you went to ? can you give the city and state? Also when they put a note on the FP notice , do they return the original FP to you or they keep it. The reason I am asking is I am thinking of doing a walk-in at some other ASC in case the original ASC asks to reschedule instead of doing walk-in after healing. So I will need the original FP appointment if I goto some other ASC. My wife has some travel plans in coming 2-3 weeks and want to get this out of the way.

This is Off-Topic, sorry about that, but this is the best forum i could think of to ask this:
My father-in-law is visiting us from India, and he is thinking of driving a car here. He drives in India and I think in a couple of weeks (with maybe 2-3 classes with some instructor) he should get the hang of driving. Are there any risks that anyone knows of with this? (if he makes a mistake and ends up in an accident I understand that we end up being personally liable and can even be sued if there is an injured party).
Edit: This is in California
In general a person with a valid visa can drive in the U.S. provided the person is in possession of a valid drivers license. However, if he is not on your insurance policy added as a driver and causes an accident, your insurance company is not liable and can refuse to pay the costs. If he is to drive your car, ask your insurance agent about this.

I don't want you to freak out because my case is probably a very small fraction of the visa applications BUT since this thread is specifically related to PIMS, I thought I'd give you my example. Good news for you is, you are going to India. I was stuck in Canada not knowing long it might take for the PIMS to get updated. I ended up touring North Canada but I wish I could've traveled with a peace of mind.

Hi Nair/Perm,
I am not a returning US resident.
One of the companies sponsored my H1B and I am trying to get the visa stamped in India.
I got the wage report from the company but not the "Unemployment" wage report, so I am confused.
Any help about the document would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot for all your help.
Have a nice time!
Thanks & Regards,
Chak
i know you are not in US.You cannot get the unemployment report yourself directly.You ask the company who sponsored the visa.They will get thru the attorney.

Hi to all in this morass called Immigration to the USA,
#1 I've got a suggestion : IF there is some way we can get through to someone intelligent (duh !) at the IT department of the USCIS, would that be of some help to check up on what's happening with the cases ?
#2 My lawyer filed an I-140 in June of 2006 with a PERM labor of PD Dec '05. He filed it with a "copy" of the labor and case is still pending. In May he filed some paperwork with the USCIS about my case so that they (USCIS) would request a duplicate of the "original labor" from USDOL. All this sounds very complicated. I would like to know the experience of other people in a similar situation and what needs to be done to expedite this process ? My I-140 has been pending for more than a year .....
Thanks !
I believe USCIS has a confidentiality agreement with their employees and you donot want him to lose his job.

I am in the same situation like you, thanks for the details.
Just wanted to share our 7th year H-1B extension stamping in Chennai on July 15th. Since my I-140 was approved, the I-797 petition was approved for 3 years. My family (wife and daughter) attended the interview along with me. The procedure for H-1B extension/renewal is much easier in Chennai compared to first time stampers. There is a separate counter for renewals and the interview procedure is quite simple. After the initial screening of documents, we went to a separate renewal counter which did not have any queue.
The VO just asked some questions about my nature of the job and how long I have been with my company. FYI, my company is a major reputed IT Foreign MNC. My family was not asked any questions. We did not have any PIMS delays and I got the passport couriered the very next day itself. The petition was approved a month before the stamping. Overall it is a much streamlined process for H-1B visa extensions/renewals.
Thanks MP70

When your H1B application is pending, you have additional 240 days after your H1B is expired (if you filed extension).
When you entered using AP and H1B is pending your status will be Parolee and you have to work with somekind of authorization status (like EAD). at this time your H1 status will be lost and H4 will lost also. You and your wife will need to have somekind of legal status (like AOS).
BUT when you have your H1B approval (the started date usually begin after your H1B expiration date), you can ask your employer to record your work authorization using H1B and at this time you can file for H4.
my suggestion before you leave US is to file H1B extension from US and after you get H1B extension receipt then you will need to apply for H4 extension right away. With this case you don't have to go outside US and don't need to use AP.
ps : if this helps u, give me green ... :D
Thx
My wife is not on AOS status, she's only H4, what I am asking about here, if I used AP would this void her H4? Because as far as I understand, her H4 status will only be void if I used my EAD not AP

Hi,
Can you tell me what your lawyer sent to the USCIS. How did he link the approved 140 to the pending 485. Did he fill any form? I am in the same boat. My both 140's are with the same company though.
Thanks
Whatever my Lawyer has done , has not worked so far, I guess he sent copies of both I140's and a letter requesting to use the EB3 PD with the EB2 case.

I guess the story was not clear :-)
the answer is your wife's h4 will be fine since you have ur H1.
Thx
I am not sure why it's so hard to understand what I want :)
1- My wife's h4 visa will expire after 4 years
2- I already have my h1b extension
3- What I am saying that if I don't get the stamp in time, I am planning to enter with AP
Given all the points above, and the fact that I'll be working on H1b status, would this void my wife's h4 visa?

The USCIS PDF for I-693 (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-693.pdf) says "OMB No. 1615-0033; Expires 06/30/07" at the top of the form. At the bottom it says "Form I-693 (Rev. 09/16/05) Y". Will we be able to submit this form if we get the medical exam done now and file it with the I-485 on July 1 or later?
I found another version of the PDF which says "OMB No. 1615-0064; Expires 05/31/08" at the top and "Form I-693 (Rev. 09/16/05) N" at the bottom. I've only found this at these sites:
http://immigrationadvice.net/I-693.pdf
http://www.lexisnexis.com/practiceareas/immigration/pdfs/web895.pdf
But I'm not sure which one should be used because of the upcoming expiry date on the one from uscis.gov, versus the one with the later expiry date on these other sites. Does this expiry date matter?
I'm going to my medical exam in 1 1/2 hours -- if anyone can post a response before then, that'd be much appreciated!
I don't know if the doctor will use my copy or provide a copy. Is it a problem if the doctor provides and uses the older form?

Gurus, can you please let me know your opinion on the below item? thanks a lot.
I am thinking about having our parents visit us next year. I am planning to have them here for about 185 days - more than the usual 180 days. Do you think there would be any kind of problem with getting the I-94 at the port of entry if we have the tickets booked? Did any do this?

have you considered asking your client to hire you effective jan 20, but take unpaid leave until jan 25 or whenever they are ready to hire you?
That would have worked if the Client had already finished the hiring process and filed for my extension b4 my I-94 expires on Jan 20... I am yet to appear for the interview, it is just that i have some strong references (and they have multiple openings) so I have extremely good chances of getting hired ... so, no, this idea won't work :(... Jan 25th was just a imaginary date that i gave... the hiring process may take couple weeks more than that (yup, unfortunately, it's that slow) ... I was just trying to find out what are my options after Jan 20... would I be just stuck with this staffing company or could I have the Client file for my extension... if it is legally not possible then I might as well just forget about this opportunity :(
