02/18/2007: Need for Immigration Reform and Concerns with Growing Gridlock in Legislations in the Congress
The Democrats launched a new Congress with aggressive platforms and legislative agenda on January 4, 2007. Madame Pelosi of the House set the first 100-hour legislative agenda and the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid presented on the Senate floor ten legislative bills as top priority for the first few months of the Senate.
However, immersed in the party politics, the Congress left the Hill yesterday, Saturday, for a week long break without achieving a lot because of the gridlock it had faced in the Congress. Samo, Samo Washington politics involving the Republicans and Democrats. It practically means that the Congress wll not resume the active legislative activities until March 2007.
S. 9, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill, adopted by the Senate floor, is in the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. The newly elected Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Leahy, reportedly set the CIR as one of the top agenda of the Judiciary Committee for March 2007 and the Democratic leaders reportedly determined to pass the CIR by April 2007 and quickly send it over to the House for its prompt action. How beautiful the agenda of the new Congress.
We want to watch carefully how closely the leaders of the House and Senate will follow through the agenda. In a way, from the perspectives of this immigration legislation agenda, we are relieved that the Congress was over with the most serious road block to the Congress, to wit, rebuke of Bush's resurge in Iraq.

Hi,
Our applications (myself and my wife) reached USCIS NSC on July 2nd. On 09/08/2007, we both received EAD's and today (09/10/2007), we received Notice from CSC that our cases are being transferred to NSC as our cases fall under NSC's jurisdiction. My I-140 was approved by NSC in Feb 2007.
Also, our cases were received on July 2nd @ NSC and the RD on Transfer Notice I received today have RD of 08/28/2007.
Anybody in same situation...I am confused here....don't know how cases are being transfered from Center to Center and why RD is not July 2nd.
Comments ???

No wonder NSC claims that it has completed data entry for most of july. My case was mailed to NSC on july 2. I did not receive anything so far. My I140 was approved by CSC though, so my lawyer thinks my case may have been transferred to CSC, but my new I140(acquisition) is at NSC. hopefully i will hear from them soon.

Does that mean you need to have visa stamp in your passport ? otherwise they would not issue German visa.

I still have 2 weeks before I leave for my trip, now is it advisable to apply for another AP this week and wait for it to come? Will that application make my current AP invalid?
From what I understand, you need to be here in the US while you apply for your AP, but can travel on your older AP while this one is still in process. Is this correct?
Is there a chance for AP denial, and how does that affect the chance of an AP extension in Future?
You cannot enter the US on Advance Parole (AP) unless you had that specific AP when you left. So you cannot apply for AP now, leave the US, have someone send the approved AP to you in India, and use that AP to return to the US next year..
There is always a slight chance that the AP will be denied. However that should not affect your chances of getting a new AP in the future.

MCQ
10-26 04:03 PM
Here's how I see it.
If you are employed by a US company and are on the US payroll of that company, and they are paying your salary into your US bank account, then I would say, that even though you may be working remotely in an Indian office of that US company - then yes, you need the EAD.
Why - you might ask. Very simply, if you are on the US payroll you need to have an I-9 on file with the company. You can only file an I-9 if you have the legal right to work in the US for that company (EAD / GC / Citizen / H1B etc).
so what it all boils down to is, no matter where you are working in the world for the company, if you are on the US payroll, you need an I-9, to file the I-9 you need a legal right to work, and that for you means the EAD.
one other thing. I believe that you also need to be in the US to file for and receive the AP & EAD.
Hope that helps

IV is not for any particular nationals. While ROW is also affected because of retrogression, India and China are severely affected and there is hardly any movement in EB2/3 for India. The hard country limits in EB system and inability to capture unused visa numbers are just 2 of the many reasons responsible for retrogression. These forums have been misused by some people to advertise about their firm. May be the other member skimmed through the post and considered it a similar ad. OP has given a fitting response. Welcome to IV.

This is Off-Topic, sorry about that, but this is the best forum i could think of to ask this:
My father-in-law is visiting us from India, and he is thinking of driving a car here. He drives in India and I think in a couple of weeks (with maybe 2-3 classes with some instructor) he should get the hang of driving. Are there any risks that anyone knows of with this? (if he makes a mistake and ends up in an accident I understan that we end up being personally liable and can even be sued if there is an injured party).
Edit: This is in California
I have myself driven a lot in many states on B1/B2, All the car rental agencies on mostly international airports cater to visitors on B1/B2.When i came to US for the first time on business, i drove around 3000 miles just on weekends :-)
If the Locals DL of your FIL is not in english, you need a International Drivers Permit, from your country.IDP is just an english transalation of your local drivers licence,and is not valid without the original DL.
The only problem i see, is that your insurance would not cover him(mine required the authorized driver to have a US licence).if he just wants to drive for fun, you better rent him a car with CDW and Liability insurance.Its expensive but its safe.
And i personally don't agree that fines could be 3 times...all the silicon valley visitors would be screwed.
Please contact your local DMV, for information. I have just told you my experience and i may be wrong.

Here is my situation: I was on my 6th year of the h1b visa (I had about 3 months left of valid visa) when I left the country in January 2010 to live abroad...In August 2010 I came back to the US on a tourist visa and I applied to get the 3 months I had left on my H1b in November.
After waiting for over 4 months, I received the approval notice from immigration for the h1b valid only for 1 day!! (4/20/11-4/21/11)...I received the approval notice on the mail on 4/23, 2 days after the visa was valid...so basically, by the time I received the notice in the mail, I was already out of status.
If I apply for an extension this week, do you think that they will approve my 7th year extension or they might deny it based on the fact that I applied after my H1b visa expired? If they deny it, what are my options to stay in the country?
What would the employer gain by applying H1B if only 3 months left?

I don't think a 1 year ead or 2 year ead is really affecting 485 applications.
USCIS will approve 2 yrs EAD only if the dates are not current and visa is not available for that particular case. in my case my pd is always current and visa is available.

Mate;
Last year in March end I had an opportunity to go for business trip to Frankfurt, it was technical conference of my company. Just 5 days before the due date, my H1 was to expire. Thanks to this moron in my HR, the whole H1 renenwal was delayed to just 2 weeks before expiry. We paid extra to expedite the H1 renewal, fixed Visa stamping/interview apointment at Ottawa, ON same week as we applied for visa renewal. In-fact I had apointments paid for two consecutive days(friday and monday), just in-case the documents do not arrive on time. And they didn't ( aka Murphy Law) till saturday. So headed out on Sunday to Ottawa from MI. arrived Monday morning, got the visa extended next day. Arrived back in office on Wednesday morning, sent all the documents to Chicago consulate office, with same day delivery. Anxiously awaited to hear-back till Tursday afternoon. Started frantically calling consulate office on Friday Morning. Believe it or not someone did returnback my repeated calls and complained about why I was calling everyone in office and in future try to send application atleast 1-2 weeks before travel. My flight was booked for Saturday 3:00 pm in afternoon and believe it or not I collected my passport with visa at noon!!!:rolleyes:
P.S: Trip was great and in-fact also got chance to visit Paris!!!:cool:

Thank you GC28262,
I also presume that there is no need to file I-539 either. However, what would be the right approach here..
File for H4, while she continues to work on EAD. The benefit with this approach is that she would have a new I-94
OR
File for AP - but then she won't have a new I-94 till such time that she reenters US.
Please advice.
I am not a legal expert.
For one thing, nobody can have H4 and EAD together. When someone uses EAD, his/her H1/H4 is invalid. You need not worry about this. Myself and thousands of IV members are in the same situation. Once you are on AOS you need not worry about I-94.
The only way an AOS person can have an unexpired I-94 is when he/she maintains his/her H1B status also. A pure AOS person cannot have an unexpired I-94 all the time. So no need to be tense over this.
BTW my I-94 expired more than a year ago when I switched over to EAD.

Hi folks,
Thanks to all who responded and viewed my post.
I am still in the US, I had to reschedule my travel plans, which leaves me very little time for the event. But atleast, I have the satisfaction that I gave it my best shot.
On the plus side, I get to stay back for a couple more days, so that's good.
BTW, my status is still pending. The website updated the status late Friday afternoon, and changed it from "Request for more evidence sent" to "Evidence received, and processing resumed".
I even had my manager call the USCIS service center for a status update, where he was spoken to rather rudely and curtly by the visa officer. The officer just stated that they have received the documents we sent, and will be processing the application. He also said that the website does not get updated regularly or instantly. Rather, the flow of things would be like this :-
Application adjudicated, E-mail sent to Petitioner, Mail sent to petitioner, Status updated.
I am still hoping that my new company atleast gets the approval e-mail before I leave.
And since I don't have a valid visa anyways, I will be relying on this approval to get my visa stamped.
Thanks for all your help.

What does AC-21 have to do with verifying out of status? Can you give more details on how AC-21 affected his I-485?
Thanks
There was one case where in appeal his claim for AC-21 was upheld, but his job location was different from LCA location, so he was termed out of status on H1 and since his out of status > 180 days, his I-485 was denied.
This happened in early 2007.
