And now for some good news.....The New York Times and the St. Petersburg Times reported two separate indidents of penalties and [prison sentences imposed on people who provided fraudulent immigration services to foreign nationals.
The NYT article (http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/01/3-million-judgment-in-immigration-fraud-case/?scp=2&sq=immigration&st=cse) describes how Miriam Mercedes Hernandez was ordered to pay $3 million in fines and restitution to her victims. Ms. Hernandez charged her victim up to $15,000 per person to help them get permanent residence or citizenship within eight month but never performed the services she claimed.
As the article states
Immigration fraud, often orchestrated by immigrants, has proliferated across the country, victimizing people desperate to gain legal residency or citizenship. Law enforcement officials say such schemes are particularly difficult to uncover and prosecute because many victims are in the country illegally and are hesitant to seek help from the authorities for fear of deportation.
Under state and federal law, only lawyers or representatives accredited by the Justice Department can represent people before the immigration authorities. Anyone providing immigration services must also comply with strict rules governing contracts and advertising.
The St. Petersburg Times article (http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/owner-of-clearwater-immigration-services-firm-gets-prison-for-false-asylum/1077161)describes a Clearwater woman who was ordered to 5 years in prison for filing false asylum claims. She was also ordered to forfeit $800,000 in profits. The defendant filed 274 asylum applications with false allegations of persecution.

Tharu:
You can reply to the RFE exactly as you stated. That your wife and child are abroad and will be applying for visas at the U.S. post to accompany you, therefore they do not have A numbers or receipt numbers.
You must file I-824s for them if you have not already done so.

Ask your husband to contact a good lawyer like www.murthy.com or www.shusterman.com or www.immigration.com. You will have to pay for their services and I am sure you will get what you need. American Dream is not cheap for the first immigrants......There are tons of bad lawyers out there, so get your job done through a goood one.

If I was in your shoes I would not file unemployment benefits because our sole purpose for filling or evening being in the USA is because we have a job or job offer. I would get an odd job and make ends meet. Filing Unemployment might come back to bit you later.
It is my Opinion, I can't support the argument with any facts but it makes sense not to file.

Your solution seems risky. USCIS may either issue an RFE later ,or straight away reject your application due to lack of evidence, so it is better negotiate with your old employer and get the document. If you get an RFE, you can submit the response even if the dates are not current. But, if your application gets rejected, you can reapply only when your PD is current, and that will make you to wait for years.

Like many others we have been waiting for our AOS application to be approved for over 2 years. But the strange thing is, I did get an EAD approved but they never called me in for fingerprinting and Biometrics. I know I had to do the non-immigration "registration" that was initiated a few years ago and they had taken my fingerprints and biometrics, is that why they didn't call me in again? since they already have it?
I had to get the fingerprints and retinal scan the last time I went out of the country and had to get the visa stamping done. But I don't think it was termed as non-immigrant "registration".
Are you stuck in FBI name check? You can call CIS and check the status.

http://www.sofiaecho.com/article/investment-in-real-estate-in-us-guarantees-a-green-card/id_34054/catid_68
The purchase of a piece of property in America, a single-family house, a PUD (planned unit development) or a condo (flat within a condominium) will guarantee you and your family a green card. This is one of the extreme measures implemented to help stall the meteoric fall of the United States economy in light of the economic crisis, Bulgarian weekly Stroitelstvo Gradut reported on January 15.
Thirty-five accredited investors will have the opportunity to acquire real estate in the south-eastern state of Florida � by purchasing a house � they will be granted a green card for permanent residence and right of employment for the buyer himself and his/her entire family.
Additional conditions are that the prospective buyer must have a clean criminal record, a good credit record, the ability to present and prove a decent monthly income, and no outstanding financial obligations or credit liabilities. The purchase itself can be done either with cash, bank transfer or monthly instalments, but the financial resource must be proven legitimate.
The US government has allocated 10 000 such visas nation-wide for potential investors in real esate, under a programme approved by the US Congress. Florida's is the first such programme that has actively been given the green light to commence. Specialists in the field argue that this is the best time to invest and purchase property in America, as prices in some states have been slashed by as much as 25 per cent. Experts argue that within three years' time, however, the market will stabilise and prices will rise.

my mothe in law is visiting us. she came to the Us last Aug 2006 as a B2 (tourist visa). we extented her visa once which iwas valid for Aug 8, 2007. then we applied for the extention again. yesterday we received the letter saying USCIS is not going to extend the visa anymore. the application had been rejected. but they didn't mentioned any date in the letter about when she have to go back.
what is safe for her? does she have any deadline to go back? is it 15 days or a month....
someone please let me know...thanks ahead
Generally, they give only one extension. Technically, I think she is already overstaying? The bigger problem will be coming back next time. Did you try calling them?

My labor got approved in Jun 2006, I 140 approved in Oct 2007 and I am a July 2007 filer. My employer got a NOIR on I 140 saying this:
Please provide evidence that supports your answer to question 9; Part C (Employer Information) of the approved ETA 9089 processed in Jun 2006. "Is the employer a closely held corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship in which the alien has an ownership interest, or is there a familial relationship between the owners, stockholders, partners, corporate officers, incorporators, and the alien?"
And then it lists, what could be the documentation to prove this relationship. My Employer is sure that he gave NO for that question but I am not sure. I am in parolee status working for the same employer on H1b. I do not have any kind of relation with the employer at any time.
What if the employer by mistake answered it as YES? what are my options, can I still fight? what could be the documentation, incase we answered NO to the question. Please help me what could be my options.

Thank you very much for quick response. My wife has NO stamping in the passport but we have AP. Do you think a copy of I797 will be OK at POE?
Thank you very much!
If you have AP, I dont see an issue. Just take a copy of your I-485 and I-797...That should be enough....Also quickly print your last two paychecks.
I travelled with AP and a copy of I-485 receipt....Nothing else....
Best wishes

well that is what I am saying.
The job says it needs a person with Bachelors degree with 5 year of experience in servers and also 3 years of experience in network security.
I met those both criteria before I joined the job.
Now the question arises, which one I fall under ? EB2 or EB3 ??
:confused:
The HR/Lawyer has to decide the category, you can't. The job category is based on what the job requires, not what you have. If you have 20 years of experience but the job requires just BS, it falls into EB3. Good luck.

Friends,
I am in the 8th year of H1b and I have been juggling this idea of changing my job because of a sucking work environment. I have Eb3 labor(it was applied in eb3 even though my job required and i had the eb2 experience) approved and 140 approved so can I get 3 year extension by changing my job or do you suggest to first get 3 year extension and then change, in which case will I still get 3 year extension is the question.
Once you find a job, ask the new employer to apply for a 3 year extension based on the approved I-140 (the courtesy copy should be enough). You can retain the old priority date when you re-start the GC process with the new company (if the current employer maintains the LC/I-140: not sure what happens if either is revoked).
