I got a letter from Zoe Lofgren's office, who is a Member of Congress representing California 16th District, in response to one of our web faxes on H-1B cap and GC backlogs. Below is the complete text from the letter -- it's heartening to know we are on their radar at least!
Now that we got their attention, is there anything we should do to follow up on this now?
- sirinme
================
Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate the time you took to explain the impact of the H-1B visa cap and the "green card" backlog on U.S. employers.
I understand well that the success of U.S. companies depends on highly educated and talented U.S. citizens and foreign nationals.
What we need is thoughtful reform that supports the American economy and allows American companies the benefit of the "best and brightest" from around the world.
As you know, the Republicans now lead in the House of Representatives, Senate, and White House. As such, Republicans control what bills and amendments are considered in committees and on the floor of the House of Representatives. They have taken no action for reform but have proposed legislating on a money bill in violation of House rules. Should Senate Judiciary Committee's H-1B proposal come before me in the House of Representatives, I will certainly consider your point of view.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if can be of further assistance to you or your family.
Sincerely,
Zoe Lofgren
Member of Congress

Hello Gurus,
I have a strange situation, request advice, suggestions and ideas from expertise...,
My H1 B petition/I 94 is expiring on July 14th 2008, I need to apply for extenstion now. I have applied for 140 and 485 through another company B as future employee.
Now, I cannot show to my current company that i have applied for 140 and 485 and I need to extend H1.
In the H1 extension forms/questionaire there is a column asking if you have ever applied for 485 and 140, since i cannot disclose this to my current emp, can I just say 'No' to these questions. If I say No what would be the impact?
or Do we have to say 'Yes' Mandatorily else will it create problems??
Please show some light on this..

My company has just changed the rules. From now they are unwilling to pay the costs incurred in the visa extensions for the spouse.
Is this legal? Does anyone have any links etc that I can pass on to HR if this is illegal. Thanks.

Many people might have lost job because of last year rally. Here I heard one of company in Chicago area fired all the illegal immigrants in last year immeditely after rally. So this kind of things may not be necessarily positive.
If Illiegals can protest and can have large rallies across the nation then whats the problem with the legals? Why can't we put our point forward through these kind of peaceful but strong measures.:confused:

Hi,
I have an approved H1B for teaching Maths, but I got an offer for teaching ESL (I am certified in both the subject). Am I allowed to teach ESL also? Is the visa subject specific?
Thanks!
What title they used in your labor certification? Did they explicitly mentioned as MATHS in LCA?
Unless and until you are working in the same professional, as the one filed in your LCA, you should be good. Suppose if they filed for a teacher and you are working as a programmer, then it becomes the technical violation of your LCA.
Though you want to teach ESL, as you are still teaching some thing, it should be good.

Nebraska immigration law passes - CNN.com (http://edition.cnn.com/2010/US/06/22/nebraska.immigration/)
(CNN) -- Voters in Fremont, Nebraska passed a much-debated immigration measure Monday that would prohibit businesses and landlords from hiring or renting to illegal immigrants.
The ordinance had divided the community and put the eastern Nebraskan city into national headlines.
A local organization decried the new ordinance on its website.
"It is with great disappointment and sadness that tonight we acknowledge a majority of Fremont voters approving this misguided ordinance," the group called One Fremont-One Future said. "In reality, the passage of this ordinance shows that we have much work to do in our community to educate, break down barriers, and build relationships."
The American Civil Liberties Union has indicated it will file a lawsuit.
Similar measures were passed in Hazelton, Pennsylvania, and Farmers Branch, Texas, but they were later struck down by the courts.
In Hazelton, voters in 2006 approved a measure to enact practically the same law that Fremont has voted to adopt. But in July 2007, a federal judge found that immigration laws should be left solely to the federal government.
In May of 2008, a federal judge ruled the Farmers Branch law, which would bar landlords from renting to illegal immigrants, was unconstitutional.
"Those ordinances did not withstand legal scrutiny. They both failed in the courts when they were challenged," said Laurel Marsh, executive director of Nebraska's ACLU.
The reason according to Marsh: Both laws violated the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy clause and the 14th Amendment.
In addition, she said it's the federal government's responsibility to set immigration policy and "we are not well-served when communities or states try to set policy on their own."
Gregory Minchak of the National League of Cities said that it's the lack of federal immigration policy that is causing these cities to take matters into their own hands.
"Because of the absence of the feds doing anything, there's a lot of financial, cultural, political strains that are occurring [in cities and states]," he said. "They are just starting to act on their own."

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.

HI,
I received a 500$ check for apartment referral , I am planning to give the entire amount to the person who took the apartment. I was wondering if during the tax return filing I should be reporting this as an income and if yes should I be deducting the tax amount from the 500$ as I will be paying taxes on it.
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks,
Budy this is an immigration forum, not a tax one.

A friend of mine just told me that USCIS has issued "guidance" a couple of weeks ago that allows using the EAD and at the same time "preserving" the alien's H1B status.
I can't find the document, but he swears that he read it..
Not true. There was a request from AILA to USCIS regarding this issue for maintaining H-1 with full time employer and to work on EAD for part time work. USCIS does not not permit that at this time.

Not normal, but what about I140 approval?. It is part of that and must be there. Did you apply I140 and I485 togther? If yes, it may be missing because of processing backlogs.

Thanks a bunch for your response. I'm not planning on getting my GC. - will be leaving this country when my H1 term ends. my passport is expiring and i would really like a renewed passport with a valid correct name - just dont want to keep making mistakes over and over again. How difficult is it getting an I-797 after changing the name on the passport. should i file the "action on a petition (I-824?)" or amendment to H1?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Gurus,
Have you heard of eVerify? Anybody can explain what it is?
My H1 expired 6 months ago and my current EAD expires October 20th. I filed for renewal application on July01 and am a little concerned that I will not get my new one within the 90 day window.
I called USCIS and a Customer Service rep mentioned that I do not need an EAD to legally work as long as I am on AOS.
She also mentioned that as long as I have a valid Driver's License and a valid Social Security Number, I am fine and that I do not need a EAD.
Is this true? Has anyone else heard about / used this policy?
Your response is much appreciated.
Thank You.
