Almost 2 years ago I visited an attorney to talk about my I-130. I wasn't very inform at the time and I think the attorney took advantage of me. My mother had recently become a US citizen in 2007 when i visit this attorney. In 2005 my mother filed an I-130 for me so when she became a US citizen I thought I should visit an attorney to "upgrade my petition" since my mother was not longer a permanent resident but a US citizen.
The attorney filed a Form G-28 - Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Representative which claimed was the petition upgrade. Recently, this past Friday I received noticed that my I-130 has been approved.
Today, I try to contact someone in the attorney's office but all I get is the voice mail. To be honest I have no trust in this attorney but I already paid $850 for this attorney's service which in verbal agreement said to my mother would receive a discount for the next steps in my case. But this attorney has done nothing for me just file a G-28 so a noticed would be delivered to their office.
I would like to know if I decide to find another attorney is there a way I can receive my $850 back some how through the new attorney or with certain process?
Thanks!

hi guyz,
Please advise on this issue: I work for a engineering software company. Currently I work as a 'Technical Support Engineer', but my company has offered me a position of 'Sales Engineer'. I have already applied for my I-485, but have not received a notice yet. If I start working in the sales position, will this affect my GC application? Would the USCIS know about my change of duties, if my 'salary' and 'position title' remains the same? Please reply. Response will be highly appreciated!

As long as nothing changes on paper, you are good. The title can be different as long as there are at least some responsibilities similar to your previous role.
But keep in mind, that companies & management are volatile by nature. The manager and HR who are cooperating today may move on and you may have to deal with new people who may not be willing to go along.

That's a good sign for folks who wants to file green card next year and could not file this year becos of bad labor market
The most recent update from the USCIS is showing again a steady approval rate. The jump we saw in October was just due to a more current update of the approval, nit an increase in filing according to the USCIS. If this pace will continue we will see visas all through early 2010, but I may be wrong here...
Ao here is is the update from USCIS: As of November 6, 2009, approximately 54,700 H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) cap-subject petitions had been filed. USCIS has approved sufficient H1-B petitions for aliens with advanced degrees to meet the exemption of 20,000 from the fiscal year 2010 cap. Any H1-B petitions filed on behalf of an alien with an advanced degree will now count toward the general H1-B cap of 65,000. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.

First renew your passport as soon as possible.
After that go to your local CBP office and request for I-94 update by showing your approved H1B petetion. If you are lucky, the CBP official might correct your I-94.
If not, apply for your H1B extension bfr your I-94 expires( a month bfr will do) as you can file for H1B extension six months bfr the current one expires ...
Good Luck ...

I have ben working with employer A on an H1B ( even labor and I-140 approved, PD-April2009) and planning to apply for H1 transfer now through employer B.
After the transfer is approved for B, if I change my mind and decide to continue to work with curent employer A, can I do that ?
Thanks,

You can continue your work with Employer A. Just ignore about B.

I have received FP notices both for my wife and myself for both 485 & 765. Code 3 ,2 . The question is :I dont know how FP process works. My wife has very smooth and sweaty hands. When i applied for Canadian immigration during FBI FP process even after n no. of attempts we couldnt get good prints on FP Sheet using INK. Ofcourse through speaking with Canadian Consulate they gave her an exemption over this. Now many of my friends have informed me that FP process is Electronic is this true?
I think she has no problem with electronic FP as US consulate could take her FP's when initially she went for H4 in i ndia. please comment.
its electronic, so you should be ok. They are also very patient, and try a lot ways to get clean prints (using wipes etc) [atleast at the Oakland ASC]

Almost a good percentage of IV members are ready to file their I-140/I-485. I was one of the fortunate ones who will be able to file I485, due to the date moving from 2001 to 2003 last month for Eb3. The moment I got this happy news that I can file I-485, I celebrated by contributing $20 to IV. And my request to all of you who are in good spirits as of today due to the dates being current for I140/485, please do the same. This will help IV to continue fighting for the removal of retrogression to the best extent. I am sure all of us agree with me, that there is a long way to go in the journey of this GC. So, please contribute.
So many views at this thread, but no response..hmmmm...

I thought he died because Bush wouldn't authorize embryonic stem cell research. Anyway he is an intergalactic illegal immigrant from Krypton.
technically he got birthright citizenship through the orphanage! but the double taxation was too much
"It’s refreshing to see an alien refugee tell the United States that it’s as important to him as any other country on Earth — which in turn is as important to Superman as any other planet in the multiverse."
Especially the zero tax countries...
Previously Superman never had to pay taxes, but now with the record defecit, he's being proactive with his portfolio

Hello all,
If my GC is approved, is my employer bound by obligation he gave to USCIS when he filed I140 petition?
I mean, in I140 employer explicitly stated my future wage, it is 20% higher then wage I am getting from him while I am on H1B.
Say, my GC is approved and employer refuses to raise my wage to match the amount given in I140. Is there any way to make him stick to this obligation? Like, complaining to DOL, or where else? And if I complain, can it affect validity of my GC?
The problem is after GC I have to stay with this employer for another 6 months to avoid possible complications in future applying for citizenship. If I just quit and take another job - that will make a possible problem in the future; but if he lays me off, then I am fine. But he does not want to lay me off, and does not want to keep his promise. Any ideas?
If he lets you go you have no issues with future naturalization in case you have all your records, termination letter etc. I am unsure about the wages mentioned in your LCA. I think it is mandatory and can be challenged since employer is giving an undertaking that they have the ability to pay the amount mentioned in your LCA/I140.
You need to get good advise if they terminate you immediately after you get your GC will it show some malafide intentions/agreement between you and your employer which was there in place just to secure you a GC.
- cheers

Yes this can be done as long as the investiment is substantial $50,000 or more and the revenue earned is not marginal (the income derived from the business should not be just enough to support the applicant and his family). The investor possesses means of support independent of the enterprise. It may benefit applicants for an E-2 visa to demonstrate that their investments will result in the creation of jobs within the United States.

this one is very cool
Thanks a lot Dom, it took some time for me to find transparent layered maps of water to work with. Initially this was drawn with the orange falling down, but an even splash wasn't what i had in mind. So I had random splash, mostly one directional and then spinned the image to have gravity work as well-once again thanks

Immigration Lawyers Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The January 2011 Visa Bulletin shows significant retrogression of family-based categories with priority dates falling back as much as one to three years. The 1st preference category (unmarried children of U.S. citizens) shows an increased wait from 5 years to 6 years. The 2A preference category (spouses and children of legal permanent residents) suffers the largest setback with an increase from 4 months to 3 years, while the 2B preference category (unmarried adult children of legal permanent residents) experiences an increase from 5 1/2 to 8 years. The 3rd preference category (married children of U.S. citizens) shows an increase from 8 1/2 years to 10 years. The 4th preference category (brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens) was the only family-based category unaffected by the retrogression, remaining at a 9 year wait.
Employment-based categories did not experience any retrogression and are as follows: EB-1 remains current for all countries; EB-2 remains current, except for India (May 2006) and China (June 2006); EB-3 is at Mar. 2005 for all countries, except for India (Feb. 2002), China (Dec. 2003), and Mexico (April 2003); EB-3 other workers is at April 2003 for all countries, except India (Feb. 2002); EB-4, religious workers, EB-5, and targeted employment areas and regional centers are all current.
