It is not clear if they are going to initiate a name check again. This could be associated with when your fingerprints get invalidated. If they initiate a fresh fingerprint (for what ever reason) without refreshing the existing one, that could trigger a name check. So that could be why they have a secondary check on preadjudicated cases.

Quick survey to findout how many people like the idea of having their passports restamped here in USA and avoid all the surprises and shocks. This doesn't need any legal fixes. It is a convenient measure for everyone. Besides it was an old practice that was stopped for "security" reasons or some crapp. It is a small step but helps with any cases like family emergency or some urgent business need to travel abroad.
Based on the poll results and suggestions, we can comeup with a strategy to address the issue.
This is alreay part of the Admin fix and unfortunately its not moving forward.

Hi,
I am wondering what conclusion (if any) can be drawn from LUD? On USCIS website my I-140 case shows LUD to be 05/09/2007 and hence was wondering what does it mean ? When I click on my case on the online case status website (of USCIS) still provides old data only and does not reflect the status for LUD...

kamdard.

Dear friends,
I got my NIW I-140 approved on March, 2009. The priority date indicated on my I-140 approval letter is August, 2008. So I can't submit my I-485 yet since the visa bulletin is not current. Is that correct?
My question is: Can I accept a job abroad and work aborad while I'm waiting for the visa bulletin to become current?
Thanks a million for your help on this.

I doubt if immigration would be on his plate for next 8-10 months because of economic downturn. His administration would be busy focusing on taxes, banking reforms, health care, pulling out of Iraq etc. If recession goes away quickly than hoped only then we can expect something about it...
With just 14 days left, it is getting more and more clear tht Obama is going to be the president of the US for atleat next 4 yrs, unless some miracle change the race in coming days. And Projected Senate looks like, democrats will have 60 or almost there which is required to bypass a filibuster and Dems would be incresing their lead in House.
Dont we have to strt sending emails to Obama,Pelosi and Reid after Nov 4th.

Since when has more money than the prevailing wage been a problem?
If they pay you via a check to the company you own, then they will be paying for services rendered. They will not be paying employment taxes(SS+Medicare) on that check amount. You will end up paying Self employment taxes amounting to 15.2% on this amount instead of the 7.6% had it been part of your W2.
As far as the impact to the GC process. I dont think the excess amount should be a problem, but pls confirm with an imm.attorney
Cooler, thanks for the response.

Hi,
I have worked in the US for 3 months (april, may and june) on H1b visa and still haven't got my pay stubs. Recently I came to India for my marriage and after marriage, I want to go to US on L2 visa (my fiance is on L1 visa). While trying to go to US on L2 visa, will I be asked to produce my previous pay stubs? Also when I asked my employer to give my pay stubs he said he had lost them and said instead of pay stubs I can have W2 which will be the proof that I have worked. Will the W2 be enough or I need the pay stubs? Please someone clarify my doubts.
Thanks.

Today Immigration Customs and Enforcement ("ICE") (http://www.ice.gov/pi/nr/0909/090910elcentro.htm) announced an arrangement with Imperial County Sheriff's Department in which individuals during the booking process will have their biometric data checked with Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") data and FBI data to determine whether or not they are in the United States illegally. When a person's fingerprints match those of someone in DHS' biometric data system, ICE is automatically notified. ICE will then take steps to determine the individual's immigration status and then take appropriate action after the offender completes his or her prison term.
ICE already has agreements with Los Angeles County and San Diego County. Nationwide coverage is expected by 2013.

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.

Until now, new inmates booked into the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department had their fingerprints checked only for criminal history information. But now, each new inmate booked into one of the three largest jails in the County will now also have his or her fingerprints checked by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) biometric system for any immigration record.
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department is the first law enforcement organization in California to partner with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in their Secure Communities program. This comprehensive program is intended to streamline the process by which ICE determines if the screened inmate is a criminal alien, subject to automatic removal at the completion of his or her incarceration. Highest priority is given to inmate aliens who have been convicted of crimes such as rape, robbery, murder, kidnapping, and major drug offenses.
By implementing programs like Secure Communities in prison facilities and law enforcement organizations, ICE identified more than 221,000 potentially removable aliens incarcerated nationwide in fiscal year 2008. This fiscal year, the agency anticipates spending more than one billion to continue these programs. ICE currently partners with 50 counties and law enforcement agencies across the nation through the Secure Communities program and looks to expand the program to all law enforcement agencies throughout the United States.
More information about ICE's Secure Communities effort is available at www.ice.gov. Additional information about the San Diego County Sheriff’s partnership with ICE may be found at:

The lawyers did some mixup/goofup and I lost my June 2002 PD. Here is the sequence of events.
Original Labor (Labor1)
PD: June 2002
Category: EB3 (incorrectly filed at that time by lawyers)
State: CA
We didn’t hear about the whereabouts of my labor1 case because it was sent to the Backlog Processing center (all cases after May 2002 were sent)
So the lawyers suggested filing a new labor under PERM.
Second Labor (Labor2)
PD: Oct 2005
Category: EB2
Approved: in December 2005
Second I140
Approved: in December 2005/Early 2006
Received Original Labor Approval in end of Dec 2006
The lawyers decided to combine the 2 cases and file for I-485.
i.e. use the ORIGINAL Labor PD and SECOND Labor EB2.
In April 2007, 485 application was open for “EB2” – “June 2002”.
So the lawyers filed for concurrent I-485 and I-140 for the ORIGINAL EB3 case (they submitted Second Approved EB2 I-140 along with it)
ORIGINAL I-140 was approved in Oct 2007
PLEASE NOTE: the unique situation is that the SECOND I140 was approved before the ORIGINAL I140.
Since April, 2007 - We were told by my company lawyers that the 485 is under process EB2 PD June 2002.
The GC Visa number have been available for EB2 PD June 2002 for a long time now.
But we still hadn’t received our Greencard for a long time and were wondering what is causing this delay.
So after much ado by our lawyers, they agreed to check with USCIS.
Because the Second I140 was approved before the First I1-40, USCIS said that we cannot use old PD
According to our lawyers, Now our current case status is “supposedly” OCT 2005 EB2. So we lost the June 2002 PD.
Is there anyway to recapture the old PD? (with or without refilling I-485)
Any suggestions,help or insight will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Sam

We recently assisted a client from Johannesburg, South Africa, regarding an H-1B specialty occupation visa. He was approved for an H-1B visa, but in order for our client to enter the United States, he must obtain an H-1B visa in his passport. Because the chances of visa issuance vary greatly depending on documentation and individual circumstances, we suggested that he go to the interview at the U.S. consulate very well prepared. We told him to take a certified copy of his entire H-1B package that was filed with the Immigration Service, along with his Form I-797 Approval Notice. We also suggested that he take original birth certificates, marriage certificate, and proof of financial support. He attended the interview this morning and his experience at the U.S. consulate in Johannesburg, South Africa was documented as follows.
“My wife, myself and our son had our interview at the U.S. Consulate here in Johannesburg this morning, at 9:00am. We duly arrived at 8:30am, had our relevant DS documents checked at the door, took a number, and waited for the “call.” At promptly 9:00am we were called to a booth, where our fingerprints were taken, the DS forms checked with the original I-797 form, and then told to go and sit down again. 10 minutes later, we went back to the booth, had our fingerprints taken again, and that was it. All visas approved, and to pay DHL the delivery costs. No questions asked, no documents asked for, no requirement of proof of copies of documents, nothing. All in all a painless and easy task.”
