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!

I am changing my job on H1B. I have I-140 approved with present company. What documents do I need to have to keep my old priority date? I have copy of I-140 approval notice. Do I need to have copy of labor certification as well?

I am having an option of joining a new employer with whom to file LC. Company is not very big 50 employees and started in 2002.
I am very worried about the stability of the company. This kind of companies are normal or I am just unneccessarily imagining and worrying ???
How to check the stability of a company before you start filing anything ???
Anybody knows about this ??
absolutely no idea based on the info you have provided, but you need to consider a lot of things here.
1. If its a startup building the same product 5 years later, and does not seem to be expanding/growing, its probably not going to be around much longer. If its a consulting/contracting firm that works with bigger fish, it will probably be around in the future.
2. You need to also analyze your appetite or risk. If you are on 5th or 6th year of H1, then it could be risky. If its year 1/2/3/4 and you like everything else about this company, go ahead. Worst case they close in one year, you will have LC+I140 approved and can move to another company, restart GC, and recapture this old priority date.

The Conrad 30 J1 waiver program has been extended to September 09.
I believe IV core has been actively pursuing the Conrad 30 Improvement act. Can core please update us regarding the chances of this legislation passing in September 09 ?

Guys,
My wife was working on H1B now and she got EAD last week. Out of the following options which is TRUE and which is BETTER.
Option 1--> Moving to EAD from H1B by signing on I-9
Option 2--> COS from H1 to H4 and then to EAD.
I read in some of our threads that if we choose option 1 and if something goes wrong in AOS, we have to file for new H1B again. We have to wait for quota etc etc.
I also read that if we choose Option 2, if something goes wrong in EAD, we can always change back [ie RESUME]to H1B.
I am not so sure about these. Could some one share their thought.
Thanks

I know that PERM labor gets expired if one does not file I-140 within 180 days of labor's approval date.
I am wondering if DOL has any procedure to revive expired approved/unused PERM by filing some sort of request/appeal or by paying some sort of fees etc. or if not ,then one files a new PERM by referring the old unused approved labor for the same job and same person then DOL can give an expedited approval.
Short answer is NO.
You have to file a new PERM and it will be processed in the existing processing times unless its a special handling case (University profs, etc) which currently is taking around 4 months to get a PERM approval.

3. Is there a minimum time limit after joining aftre which only I can apply for extension..?
4. Most important, can i apply for extension even after expiry of visa in july,2011...??
Many thanks,

Hi,
I have a EB3 labor and 140 approved with PD->12/2002. By 12/2002 I do have 5yrs experience but now (2007) I do have 5yrs experience and I am eligible for EB2.
My question to the gurus is can I use my EB3 PD for EB2 with new employer and can apply for 485 which is current for 12/2002?
yes you can apply EB2 if you have 5 yeas experience as of 2007 and can port PD.
Also, while during this transistion/waiting for EB2 labor and 140 with the new company what happens that my previous employer cancels my GC application? Can I still use that PD ?
According to Rajiv khanna and other lawyers it is possible. But to be on safe side do not join new company and convince new company to file labour and I140 as future employer and can join at I485 stageThanks in advance!

The Department of State has published a pamphlet educating nonimmigrant visa holders on their rights. The pamphlet covers the visa process, important documents, workplace and employee rights, human trafficking, and how to file a complaint. This is a very useful document, not just for immigrants. See here (http://www.travel.state.gov/pdf/Pamphlet-Order.pdf) to download.

03/15/2006: Possible Full Senate Debate Mark-Up Beginning From March 20, 2006
An unconfirmed sources of information has just released a report that the Sen. Bill Frist, Majority Leader is pushing a two-week full Senate floor debate beginning from March 20, 2006 rather than March 27, 2006. This report is indirectly supported by another news that the Senate Judiciary Committee is pressed to extend their additional mark-up on Friday, March 17 to finish up the Committee action before the end of the week.
Looks like things are heating up and an Immigration bill might get passed sooner than expected!

Can you please help me figure out how to calculate the eligibility for citizenship. If one married a US citizen. Obtained conditional residency, the temporary green card, then forgot to apply to remove conditions. So re-applied for green card, and was granted. The parties have been married 5 years. Will the initial 2 years spent as a conditional resident count towards the 3 years for the citizenship? Again, I want to stress out that after the initial 2 years in conditional permanent residency, forgot to remove conditions, and a new application for green card was needed. However this time the permanent green card was given. Or will she have to wait another 3 years from now on with the permanent green card until applying for the citizenship?
I appreciate any help.

Sundarpn,
You are correct that if you do not maintain valid H-1 status your wife will lose legal status in the US. If she pursues a degree as a FULL TIME student she can file for a COS to F-1. As part of that application she will have to document her valid H-4 status by proving that you are in valid H-1 status with current paystubs and/or letter confirming your employment from your H-1 employer. So it would be safest to file the COS while you are still employed.
Hope this helps,
Ann
