Does anyone know if there would be some kind of record about
when and how many times we have spoken to the IIO.
Like will a IIO be able to look at one's receipt# and say if they have spoken to an IIO earlier that day or whenever that is?
Thank you.
Every time that they talk to you, they log the date of that conversation.

I'm not sure the need of physical office for GC, but for H1 transfer and extns you may get RFE for office photos, lease agreement (notarised copy) etc.
All,
We are closing our physical office and going to have a virtual with PO box,. Please let me know how it will impact current and future H1s, Greencard filings and L1s and Business visas.
Is it very important to have a physcial address in the US,
Thanks in advance.

Why not microsoft? The rest of high tech industry will not survive if they can't move their 60% of operations outside of USA. Bone headed congress will continue to come up with legislation that encourage illegal immigration and discourage legal immigration. Sounds like 19th century for UK, 20th century for USA and 21st century for China and India. Dollar declines and what is the use of GC? I am thinking of going back where the growth is.

"i need to adjust my status, its needed in the i-485 application"
Only last I-94 is needed in the I-485 application. In my application I just had one. Here is the link to I485 form from USCIS http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-485.pdf

If you get laid off, hopefully you have enough years on your initial 6 yr H1 to work with another employer an apply for a new labor and get back on track.
Hi, I just joined the group. Is there anything scheduled so far?
I also have an immigration question.
My employer filed the PERM with EB-2 in September 2007. It was audited in November. Still waiting. I have the fear I could get laid off. If this will happen before the Labor Department approval, and before the 1-year renezaw of my H1-B (exp. Sept.08), what will happen? Do I loose everything?
Thanks for your support.

I'm hoping someone can provide some good advice...
My grandmother renewed her green card application January last year, got fingerprinted and was told she was all set. While she was out of the country in June, she received notice that her prints had to be retaken and her appointment was in 10 days.
Being 90 and not in the best of health, she did not go back to the US with such short notice. She tried to call the UCSIS hotline to reschedule and was told she could not and that she had to go into the local office to do so (though the whole point was she in Asia).
I was only told this recently by my parents and tried to find some solutions for her as the main reason she came to the US in the first place was to help raise me.
Looking over her denial notice, it appears she could reopen the case with supporting evidence. But am wondering what I need to provide and if there's anything I can do?
Any suggestions?
Also, it looks like if you are 75 years old or more you do not need fingerprints but is this only for the naturalization process or does it also apply to the PR process?
Any advice would be great!

Hi!
I am thinking of leaving my current employer & joining the primary vendor for the client, wondering if my employer can hold back last month's salary OR how people have handled such situations.
Thanks for your reply.
Why should the employer hold your salary? If you had any agreement for paying back cost of your GC processing for leaving within a certain period, that would not hold any more (since last June such agreements are illegal)

This is really a contentious issue both in the pro and anti immigration communities and it is surprising that it has taken this long for one of the major advocacy groups to raise the issue publicly. . Pro-immigration groups are divided on the strategy question of whether allowing measures to go piecemeal will peel off support for some of the tougher measures like a legalization program. But if comprehensive reform fails this year, it will be the third failure since the comprehensive movement began in 2004 and it could mean waiting until 2011 or even after the next presidential election...

I think you need to have a consultation with an immigration lawyer, if you want a legal opinion from someone other than your current lawyer. There isn't really enough information in your question to give an answer. Without knowing why the L-1A petition was denied, it's very hard to suggest a strategy. If there was an RFE issued before the denial, you should be able to see what CIS was concerned about.
Are you eligible for E status? I don't know your nationality, so can't answer this myself.

I had a similar issue during my first H1B visa stamping. My H1B was approved from company ABC and after approval name of the company was changed to XYZ. So, my employer gave me copy of a letter issued by State of Maine (Company ABC was registered in Maine). This letter stated that company XYZ is same as ABC. My passport was stamped with company ABC's name. My employer also gave me a letter stating that XYZ is same as ABC.
Not sure how this name change will affect your I-140 or I-485.

I graduated in MS (I'm on H4 currently) recently.My previous degree is from India (passed out BCOM in 1999). I dont have any IT experience.
I'm talking with couple of companies about getting a H1. What documents I need to show for H1 for USCIS? Do I need to show any experience to USCIS?
Please reply
You need to have a job offer, a LCA for the job, educational evaluation, I-129 and copies of your passport/i94 and degree. A supporting letter from the employer is also needed. No experience letter is needed to apply for H1, but to get it stamped you may need it.

A friend of mine told me that we do not have to pay Social Security Tax while working on EAD. Does anybody know if this is true ?
That would be a huge plus in case its true.
Your friend may have confused 485 based EAD with F1 OPT based EAD. On F1, you do not pay SS or Medicare. On AOS based EAD, you do need to pay SS/Medicare taxes.

October 13, 2008 (Computerworld) A recent review of 246 H-1B visa applications by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) found that 21% contained fraudulent information or "technical violations" of federal laws and regulations.
The violation rate was even higher in cases involving computer professionals. Twenty-eight of the 104 that were examined, or 27%, had violations of some sort, according to a USCIS report that was finalized in September and publicly released last week by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
USCIS investigators examined a random sample of the nearly 97,000 H-1B petitions filed in late 2005 and early 2006. They found problems such as forged signatures, fake degrees and the use of shell companies in applications. Other issues were discovered during visits to work sites. For instance, some employers "benched" H-1B holders when work wasn't available or had them doing jobs that weren't listed on their visa applications, the report said.
Fraud indicators
* Businesses with 25 or fewer employees and revenue of less than $10 million had higher rates of H-1B fraud than larger companies did, the USCIS said.
* Of 114 cases involving workers from India, 25% were found to involve fraud or technical violations. No other countries had statistically valid samples.
The report's authors called the level of fraud a "significant vulnerability" for the H-1B program and wrote that the USCIS is making "procedural changes" in response to the findings. An agency spokesman said Friday that possible steps include checking applications against external records and using fraud indicators to flag petitions for increased scrutiny.
