Jon Stewart, who knows a thing or two about irony, will create a two-hour special on a perfect target�the U.S. naturalization process�for History Channel, to air in the fourth quarter.
http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/231905-Jon_Stewart_to_Make_History_Special.php
The Naturalized, to be produced by Busboy, Stewart's company, follows eight individuals through the bureaucratic morass of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The special will also include interviews with undocumented and deported illegal immigrants.
If we can contact busboy productions with our stories to make sure that atleast of one of the eight individuals is someone who is stuck in this EB backlog.
Here is Jon's contact info at the daily show thedailyshow@comedycentral.com
It would be great if someone can find the contact info for busboy productions too.
Also, Please send email to the Daily Show and/or Colbert report to interview someone like Vivek Wadhwa to explain to their viewers the how this behavior hurts America.

I have exactly the same question.
If you look at VFS appointment scheduling if it is more than 1 year that your 797 was renewed and if you did not go for stamping they put you under different class of renewal.
You can check this by going to VFS appointment site and there they ask the question are you applying for the same class of visa that got expired 1 yr ago or something like that...
Can anyone shed some light on this. Since i am on the same boat like the person who asked this question.

What is the minimum qualification required for the position his employer going to file PERM?:o
Hi
This question is for my friend. he has a Bcom (3 years bachlors from India) with certification of chartered accountant and cost accountant. He has a 6 years of post qualification experience in india (after ca and ) and now he has 6.5 years of experience in US. (Total post qualification experience is 11-12 years)
His lawyer said as this is a 3 years degree you dont qualify for EB2. lawyer also send us a case where DOL denied CA plus 3 years of bcom under EB2.
Can you help us if he qualify for EB-2, what is the best way to file.

from this report it seems like all the visa numbers are being used already atleast for years 2007-2009
i am assuming there were some visas lost before 2007. does anyone has any links justifying that.

If you wish to travel to England to travel to another destination without going through the Danish border and you have no right to carry in the UK without a visa, you need a direct airside transit visa, unless exemptions they direct airside transit visa. If you are a visa national and you pass through immigration control because you stop in the United Kingdom for over 24 hours you should use a visitor in transit visa.

I'm off to London for my H1B stamping. I was working for an Investment Bank that folded and I took up a job with a bank that has not taken TARP funds (not a US bank)
My I-129 was approved, however, it was approved before the new I-129 that asks whether the company accessed covered funds.
I just wanted to know whether I need to ask counsel in my firm to update the I-129 or should I just go ahead with the stamping?
Any other important documents I should take along? I was thinking of
a) letter from employer stating salary, start-date, position etc
b) letter from company stating that they did not receive TARP
anyone else on the same boat?

You will not jeopardize your I-485 as long as job with company C is in same or similar occupation. Whether USCIS will grant an H-1 3 year extension based on a withdrawn/revoked I-140 is not certain. I outlined the reasons for this uncertainty in my response on the thread entitled "Facing Layoff---6 months left..."

masala_dosa, this is my understanding. once you have applied for EAD, its your responsibility to keep it valid all the time, independent of if you are using the EAD or NOT. You have to appy for renewals before it expires etc. i dont know if it impacts the current gc process or not.
two scenarios:
If you are using EAD for your current job, and if you did not renew ( or alteast file for renew) before it expires you may notbe able to continue the job.
If you are NOT using EAD, but have an EAD on hand you are supposed to keep it valid.
once again - im not an attorney and all above were my understanding.
why dont you talk to your attorney. he/she may have a simple answer for this.

You would need to take an updated affidavit of support and you latest tax returns if you have filed for any dependents and they have been called for the interview also. Would be useful for you to take the I-140 approval with you. All your original certificates, including birth and marriage, employment letter, W-2's, medicals if the ones that you submitted have expired, you need to follow the list of documents as per the interview letter. If your spouse has been called for the interview you would need to take joint documents and photographs to show that it is a bona fide marriage.

Yes you can apply for EAD and AP separetly anytime
The only catch I found out recently is that when you use AP to travel back to US, this may invalidate the H visa and you will need EAD.
I am still not clear of this issue. I applied for EAD few months ago and found out this may be an issue , so have applied for AP (By e-filing) now
Using AP to travel does not invalidate the H1...AP is just a travel document, and does not determine one's status in the country. The H1 would be invalidated only if the person switches to EAD.

If I-140 has been approved, would it still be fine to apply for transfer from H1-B to F1 status by using form I-539 & university issued I-20 ? How long does it take to transfer status from H1B to F1 ? When can one start school �. Only after I-539 approval or after only applying ?
For pursuing an MBA, does it matter if one is on F1 or H4 (spouse is on separate H1)
How long does it take to transfer status from H1B to H4 ?

Hi,
I am currently working on EAD, having invoked AC21 once in the past. My labor was filed in 2005 under EB3 (I was eligible for EB2, but my company filed it under EB3, as per their policy). I filed 485 during July 2007 fiasco and am currently working on EAD.
My job qualifies for EB1 now and few of my peers have got Green Card under EB1. Can I port my filing from EB3 to EB1? Would it be better to do it with current employer or with a new employer? Pl. advice.
Thanks
If you I-140 is approved you can port the priority date of your old I-140 to the new EB-1 I-140. You might not need to go through this trouble if EB-1 is current.

Change.org (http://www.change.org/ideas/browse) (pick Immigration in the browse by cause box on the right side of the screen) is now actively voting on various ideas.
There are 3 ideas there, but none for our cause.
I am no pro on these, but may be we could get an idea inserted for our cause and get enough votes on it.
