Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The Barack Obama Administration recently announced that border guards at United States Ports of Entry (POE) will begin screening aliens arriving from certain countries based on specific information about threats to the USA. The immigration attorneys at Los Angeles' Fong & Chun immigration law firm are advocates for national security balanced against sensible protections for civil rights. We hope this change will reduce the number of unwarranted, unreasonable, and (usually) unfriendly challenges to certain arriving visitors.
Since the New York terrorist attack in September 2001, the USA has maintained a list of approximately fourteen countries (the so-called "group of fourteen") which are considered to encourage state-sponsored terrorism, or which are believed to provide assistance to terrorists. The US would not even officially name the specific countries, or confirm the exact number of countries, on the list. All citizens of one of these countries -- of any gender, any age, any social class, any educational level, for any reason -- would be subjected to additional interrogation by US Border Guards.
The newly-announced change sets up a system which uses intelligence information and threat assessment -- about specific persons, specific targets, and specific descriptions, to identify passengers who might have a link to terrorism. Quite properly, those persons would be subjected to additional scrutiny. Others who do not meet the more reasoned threat profiles would be allowed to enter the USA in the way of other visitors.
For example: most people in the know would say that the Islamic Republic of Iran was part of the group of fourteen. All citizens from Iran -- absolutely all -- would be pulled aside and interrogated at POEs. Under the new system, if the US has specific information about a 26-year old male Iranian student, or an Iranian woman with a certain name, or even someone with a partial passport number, then persons meeting those descriptions will be pulled aside. This allows border guards to focus their efforts on persons about whom the USA has specific threat-related information. --jcf

This is where the lawyer comes in. Or someone who has been through this can describe his experience.
As long as your resume and experience letters match you with the Labor, you are good. eb3 is less riskier than eb2.
For peace of mind, you can get a second opinion from another attorney by having him match your profile with the substituted Labor.

Those people who are all stuck in Labor certification.
1. What are the options going forward if our labors are not certified?.
2. What are the chances that BEC people are not able to meet their deadline (sep 30) in clearing LC?
3. Is there a justice and truth in life? Or everything depends only on time and luck?.
4. What if some of us get laid off.........our path ends?.
5. Is there something GOOD waiting for all of us?.
Waiting .......waiting...........waiting................wa iting sucks!.

With the situation currently we are facing on H-1B, in my opinion congress may do some quick fix before the CIR implementation. Reforming the H-1B visa, I do not think any thing is wrong in that. In this process of reforming H-1B visa, can we incorporate our mission of at least filing I-485 without visa availability?
Is this too much to ask?

Hi,
Need quick suggestion:
Company A filed for GC. Labor and I-140 was approved. I-485 was filed during July 2007.
I changed employer in June 2009; replied to RFE and filed AC21 in July 2009.
I came to know that my GC sponsring company is going to close the company soon. My current immigration attorney is suggesting that if that happens; and if INS came to know that GC sponsring company is closing down, they will revoke my I-140.
Is it true? I thought after AC21 is invoked; whatever happens to GC sponsring company, it will not impact my GC application in any way.
Please advice.

This thought occured to me this morning and wanted to bounce off. Feel free to trash it if it is not practical.
I have seen somewhat lukewarm response to Fund raising and I feel there is potential to multiply the effect.
If there is a way for IV to match up clients and IV members for part time efforts and the revenue going to IV, I think it will have bigger impact in terms of fund generation.
How it can work?
Assuming core team and extended leadership team at IV has networked into the Industry, it can get pieces of work carved out. These deliverables are those that can be collaborated on, worked on remotely.
These need not be necassarily in IT. It could be in advertising, acocuonting, graphic designing etc.
IV will seek volunteers interested in participating in this initiative and build skills database and try matching up with the services required.
All the revenue from such services will go to IV.
For IVians who volunteer, besides satisfaction of contributing to the cause, industry networking is a nice offshoot.
This may be my opinion, but volunteering is easy if it is something you do as your second nature.
I have seen few non-profit organizations provide services for a fee. I am not sure what restrictions are placed on IV from a taxation point of view. But over time, the fund raising wing of IV could be delivering on some niche solutions. I am sure some sympathetic corporations would be supporting by providing work.

Since the lower background is dark, I think it works well. The blossom really stands out with a feeling of depth, just the right DoF. There are two points on the left (probably sepals from the next blossom?) that are a little distracting to me, but that's a nitpick.

Here is an excerpt from the link below.. it sounds crazy
"Visa numbers can retrogress in the middle of a month and become unavailable without prior notice. If there is a mid-month retrogression, USCIS could elect to stop accepting adjustment applications. While this is unlikely to occur in July 2007, it becomes more and more possible as the fiscal year progresses. "
I hope this doesnt happen.

Is this just a reference to how dates are generally published in the middle of the month? Could Fragomen be simply saying that it is unlikely that the visa bulletin published in the middle of the month of July will have the dates retrogressed, but later mid-month bulletins (in Aug etc.) could bring news of retrogresssion?
Note that the first sentence of the paragraph from which "averagedesi" has quoted says that "Though the principal employment-based categories are current for July, future retrogression is possible ...." This seems to indicate that they will remain current throughout July, which is what we know/believe.

It has no effect on a future Citizenship application. Remember it is a payment against unemployment insurance which is paid by your previous employer/s.
As such it is not a burden on the state.
Does anyone know if claiming unemployment benefits after layoff have any possible impact on a future citizenship application?

I am planning to change jobs within the next 30 days and my I-140 is currently in process (filed October 2010). I have applied for I-140 premium processing last week and expect to have a response from USCIS by May 6 2011. My new employer is not sure that they can transfer the H1B since I have an I-140 in process with my current employer. The H1B with current employer expires on July 30 2011.
Question:
- Can I transfer H1B to new employer while I-140 is in process with current employer? Can the new employer file for H1B extension after transfer while current employers I-140 is in process? Current employer has confirmed that they do not withdraw the I-140 while it is in process or after it is approved even if employee leaves the job.
- Is it better to transfer H1B after the I-140 has been approved and once transfer is done, file for H1B extension right away? Can the new employer use the old employers I-140 to get a 3 year extension?
Guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I had to go through the same process last year. The day i went for the interview, there were 3 other PhDs with me to get their H1B stamped. It took me 7 weeks to get the passport back and for others it took longer. Calling embassy will not expedite the process. Call Department of State and ask for the update. I know its frustrating.

Your wife can start school pending H4 to F1 COS but you cannot change to F2 until her F1 is approved. It is much easier for you to apply F1-COS and simultaneously apply F2 for your wife but the caveat with this is your F1 might not be approved as USCIS expects you to maintain status until you get their decision which in this case you won't.
