Work travel prevents me from attending the DC rally on the 18th (was going to attend on the 13th), but if anyone is hesitating on whether to go due to funds, i offer $200 if you promise to attend. Send me a private message!
Thanks. Send a note to KanMe about this

I am planning to visit Canada sometime in the summer, and being Indian, I need a visitor's visa.
The Canadian consulate doesn't have much information about Advance Parole holders in the US applying for a visitor's visa, and it looks like the process is the same as for F-1, H-1B holders.
I am wondering if I need to send the original AP (as a supporting document) or if a copy will do.
I can't go to the consulate in person, and have to send my stuff in the mail, or this wouldn't have been an issue.

I live in GA. My 485 was filed at NSC and was receipted at CSC and transferred back to NSC.
As per the filing instructions, I will have to file EAD at Texas Service Center.
But some folks told me to file at the location where I-485 is pending.
I have the following questions
a> Where should I file my EAD renewal
b> Is it true, paper based EAD renewal does not require finger printing

Ezra Klein - Should states set their own immigration quotas? (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/11/should_states_set_their_own_im.html)
The Kauffman Foundation has a report out ranking the "new economy" states. Their methodology "measures the extent to which state economies are knowledge-based, globalized, entrepreneurial, IT-driven and innovation-based � in other words, to what degree state economies� structures and operations match the ideal structure of the New Economy." The winners? Massachusetts, Washington, Maryland, New Jersey and Connecticut. The laggards? Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas, Alabama and Wyoming.
I never really know what to make of reports like this, but one of the metrics is "immigration of knowledge workers," which really isn't under the control of individual states. Visa quotas are set by the federal government. But why? There are a lot of places where a national solution really is best, but that seems particularly untrue in immigration. Detroit, for instance, has a lot of empty houses, a lot of shuttered factories, and a lot of emigration. They could probably use a bunch of immigrants to occupy homes, buy things, and start businesses. Similarly, California has had a pretty good experience with letting highly skilled immigrants start tech firms in the Northern part of the state. Maybe they'd like to let even more of them in to do it. These graphs explain the potential appeal (click for a larger version):
immigrantbusinesses.jpg
There are obvious difficulties with having a California visa that doesn't work in Oregon. But we have limited visas now -- think student visas, or temporary agricultural workers -- and we seem to get by all right. Another concern would be that certain states would be overtaken by xenophobia and basically shut off immigration, though Arizona suggests that you can do quite a lot to make immigrants miserable even without changing the number of available visas, and my hunch is that any state that went too far in this direction would face a tremendous outcry from its business community.

Hi all,
I am currently working on an L1 visa. Have been in the US for 1.5 years.
A few weeks ago I wanted to change my job. Now I have an offer and the new employer is trying to sort out the visa.
Unfortunately, the H1B visas are gone for this year, and the employer can't wait until October to get me working in their team, so waiting for the new H1 visas is not an option.
After checking with their immigration attorneys, they now say the only option I have is to request an 'O' visa (they will support me).
'O' visas are available for top sportsmen, actors or scientists. The attorneys say I have a good-enough resume to apply for one (masters degree, published some articles and experience in top companies) but I still think the opportunities are not many, since I think my resume is really good but not outstanding enough for this type of visa.
My question is, how careful do I have to be when letting the company attorney to apply for a 'O' on my behalf? And specially, if the visa is denied is that going to impact my current L1 visa? I don't wanna end up with no visa at all! And also, is that going to be a 'bad record' next time I apply for a visa (probably H1)?
What about the positive case? Can I have the 'O' visa during the 2 weeks I will still work in my current company under an L1 (I have to give my company 2 weeks notice before leaving) before moving jobs?
I can't stop thinking the attorneys want the best for the company, that doesn't mean they want the best for me, so I am worried about the possibility they are applying for the visa on my behalf but not minding possible bad consequences for me if the visa is refused.
Thanks so much for your help.
Carlos

Besides, depending upon how the "CLASS" is defined- you will not lose your claim if they win the lawsuit.
It does not require you to have filed your case to benefit from the class action , but it depends on how the class has been defined. You can goto Rajiv's website and hear the latest conference call recording which explains his opinion on this.

Not a lawyer- but my guess is that the date of validity on your H1b (First H1) is the day you can start counting your 6 years. This is regardless of when you started working for your employer.
Example: Employer sponsored H1 for Mr.X on April 2nd 2005. H1 approved with validiity starting 1st oct 2005. Mr. X flew to the USA in december 2005. Started working 15th jan 2006. The 6 years are counted from 1st Oct 05.
Now one can recapture all the months that the employee was on vacation. But I am not sure if this is still an option.
The six year count starts from the day you entered the US first. If you take the above example, six year count starts from December 2005. Additionally, if there is gap from the time you entered and started working that period is considered out of status, that's all together different issue.

Does anyone have any experience how long it takes to get the Canadian visa if my family members who are visiting were to travel to the Canadian Consulate in Seattle.
Earlier you used to get on the same day (in matter of hours), but apparently in March of this year, they changed their policy. "Minimum 24 hours" is not a very helpful indicator for planning :(
Temporary Resident Visas (Visitor Visas)
Applications submitted in person are accepted during our walk in hours Monday through Friday 8am to 10am. Effective March 8, 2011, applications submitted in person will no longer be processed on the same day. The minimum processing time will be 24 hours. Passports will not be returned until processing is completed. Processing times for mail in applications vary, please allow at least 4 weeks for processing. The Seattle Consulate does not provide expedited service, if you have urgent travel, it is recommended that you apply in person.

Hi gurus,
I have been working with employer A since last 3 years. My I-140 (EB3)has been filed on April 1, 2008 and my priority date is January 9, 2008. I am planning on changing jobs within the same company but in a different state / city.
1)Would this affect my I-140 processing
2) Would this create any issues in the future stages of the green card process
3)Will I still be able to keep the same priority date for the I-485 (God knows when I'll get to that stage...)
Sincerely appreciate your time and help.
Regards,
Vijay

Wait time for spouse to get a green card as a derivative from you would be apporximately 5 years since you already have your green card now. the best option is to wait for to get your US citizenship and them apply for your spouse and in that case the max. wait time os only 3-6 months. Hoep this helps.

Here is my situation:
I-485 is pending
H1 Visa will expire on Feb 26, 2009 (extension has been filed but have not received the receipt notice). Company will not file for premium processing due to budget cuts.
I have an EAD (valid until 2010) but did not renew my AP (expired this week).
I am going out of the country and will return on Feb 22, 2009.
Will there be any problems at the port of entry? Has anybody come back into the country with little time left on the H1B?
Thanks
