I guess I wasn't shocked when I saw this story, but I have to say it depressed me. The AP reports that Derby Line, Vermont and Stanstead, Quebec, really one town that happens to straddle a border, is now installing security gates to physically separate the community.

Nothing wrong with gates and fences. It's security measure, ... I am all for it and fine. Unlike Quebec, atleast in my America, outsiders are not frowned upon. Nor denied help just becaue you cannot speak their language (French). Take away from my last trip to Quebec (Quebec City) is, they don't like to see us in their part of world, nor do we welcome them.

Informative response sparked a few new questions : Why would one have to start Isonazid if the chest x-ray is negative? Is latent TB akin to being a carrier of HIV waiting to see if AIDS develops? What happens if I am ever exposed to TB again? Did the infected person have an active TB infection?

Hi I am a Physical therapist on H4.
company A wants to sponsor my h1. I have physical therapist license from STATE A and Letter from State B that they do not issue license without ssn no ( and i have letter from credentialing body also saying i meet all requirements for licensure for STATE B,I also have visa screen and other required documents.
can company A file An H1 with multiple LCAS - 2 states, so H1 is issued for 3 years
Yes.
What service centre would the application go to-the one for which i have license of the one for which i have letter from board (ssn needed for license).
It would be filed at the service center that is appropriate for the first work location listed on the I-129
Once the h1 is approved can i work in any of the 2 states. [B]]
Yes, once the H-1B is valid.
How long is the H1b taking to get approved if filed in regular processing and say no rfe is
recieved
About 3 months
What problems could the approval face
CIS might question your licenses to work, since that is in question.
Thanks

It is not illegal. Some companies apply for extensions a bit late and in the mean time, the VISA expires. It is OK. At the most he/she will not be able to drive as the drivers license is linked to the VISA expiry.

Hello experts,
I work for a small company,which is holding my H1.Through this employer,
I got a job confirmation from a canadian company,but due to my leagal status, the Canadian company is not willing to give me an offer.
They mentioned that H1 with EAD is a complex scenario for the canadian work visa processing.Is there any other option to work in Canada?
My details are as follows:
My details :
H1 - six year completion in Oct 2010.No H1 stamping on passport
EAD - valid upto Oct 2010. Applied for renewal in Aug 2010.
AP - valid till Dec 2010
Even though I had EAD, I never used it for employment.
I returned to US last month.I used AP at poe since I didn't have project.
Please advice.
Thanks

My I-140 approved. Based on the July 2007 Visa Bulletin revision threat on June 30th, I have prepared and submitted I-485 package with all necessary documents along with approved I-140 copy. I sent the package to Nebraska Service Center and it reached on July 2nd. In the last minute, my company also submitted the I-485 package. My company sent the package on July 1st and reached on July 2nd at Texas Service Center. This was happened due to some communication gap between my company and me.
My questions are:
1. Will there be any problem if there are two package submitted? One from me and one from my company law firm?
2. Will they reject one of the package? If so, which one will be returned?
3. Is it possible to withdraw one of the package?

It is only missed if it is possible. We were in contact with key senate offices.
The bill was just too controversial and the appetite to include immigration provisions was just not there. We are stll making last minute efforts. the provisions are in the current CIR version and should be in all versions introduced as far as we know.

Please help me out here.
I filed I-140 in EB2 category on September 30, 2005 at Vermont service center. I also filed I-1485 concurrently with I-140 and fingerprinted in December 2005. My I-140 was approved in June 2006. But I-1485 is still pending due to retrogression/non-availability of visa numbers to Indian nationals in EB2 category.
To avoid the retrogression in EB2 category I filed another I-140 in EB1 (since visa number is available in this category for Indian nationals) on May 1, 2006 at Texas service center (due to bi-specialization). This I-140 was approved in August 2006.
I have following questions regarding my case:
1) Can I use the I-485, which was concurrently filed with EB2 I-140 and link it with EB1 I-140.
a. If yes, where do I file my request since I-485 is pending in Vermont and EB1 I-140 is approved by Texas?
b. If no, is there any other alternative to use the EB1 I-140 priority dates?
Thanks!

No, it says "Stop Wasting Your ". Count the binary sequences.
1, 2, 3 ... 18.

I was on H-1 and got laid off on July 23. I filed for COS to H4 online on the same day and got the electronic receipt the same day. As I had filed I-539 after work hours, the receipt shows that USCIS received my application on July 26 instead of 23. I got the paper receipt in next 3 days. I hope this will not create any problems as my employer sent notification to USCIS on July 31 and I received my last paystub on July 31 though it was only till July 23. I have been working in US with good status for last 5 years.
Now I have some questions. Any help is greatly appreciated:
1) I recently got two Job offers from different consulting firms. When I told them that my H4 status is still pending, their attorneys told me conflicting things.
- One employer's attorney said that I have to wait till my H4 is approved and only then they could apply for my H1. At this time I have not status and they cannot file my H1.
- The other employer's attorney said that I could apply for H1 while my H4 is still pending by giving pending petition reference in the new H1 application. This will let USCIS adjudicate both the pending status together and there will be no problem for my H1.
Which one of them is correct ? What are the risks involved if I go with the advice of second attorney? Is there a possibility that filing H1 increases the chances the both my H4 and H1 applications are rejected and I could be OOS ?
2) Second question is that the second employer wants me to start immediately after I get H1 receipt. Am I eligible to work on a receipt with my situation or do I need to wait for the complete approval ? What if I get an RFE ? As this is a consulting firm, they have work order from end client for only 3 months and it will be renewed after every 3 months. Will this 3 month work order will create any problems ?
3) What is my current status ? Will the current time while H4 is pending will be counted against H1 or H4 ? As I have only a little over year left in my H1, it is important for me to know how much valid time I have left for H1. This processing time could go in months if I get an RFE.

Hi,
I don't know the statistics or aware of the source for the same.
But based on the most recently published Visa Bulletin, if you are from India, the cut-off date for FB2 is 22 Jan 2005. If you are not from India, then please look up the Visa Bulletin at Visa Bulletin for February 2010 (http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4611.html).
It might take 2 to 3 months for your priority date to become current if you are an Indian Citizen [or chargeable to India].
HTH.

Attorney Eugenia Ponce recently wrote a blog post here (http://www.immigration-law-answers-blog.com/2009/07/immigration-law/immigration-rights/lawful-permanent-residents-keep-trips-abroad-relatively-short/) cautioning Lawful Permanent Residents to keep their trips abroad relatively short. Here is the text of that post:
Lawful permanent residents (LPR) of the United States (green card holders) need to keep their trips abroad to a relatively short period of time. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) could determine that an LPR has abandoned their residence if the LPR’s intent was not to return to the U.S. within a relatively short period of time.
Factors DHS could consider in evaluating the LPR’s intent include:
Whether the trip abroad is lengthy or for a short period of time;
LPR’s family ties in the U.S.;
property holding in the U.S.;
business affiliations within the U.S.;
LPR’s family, property, and business ties in the foreign country.
After that was posted, we were asked what exactly we meant by the term "relatively short." Of course the answer, as always, depends on several factors. But here is a further explanation from Ms. Ponce:
What a "relatively short period of time" is can't be defined in terms of elapsed time alone. Generally, lawful permanent residents (LPR) can use their green cards to return to the United States after a temporary absence not exceeding one year. The most important factor in concluding whether an LPR abandoned his or her U.S. residence is to look at the LPR's actual intent to return to the United States after a short trip, along with the other factors such as property, business, and family ties inside the U.S. and in the foreign country. An LPR returning to the U.S. once a year for a few days doesn't "automatically revalidate" a green card in a situation in which the lawful permanent resident has actually been residing abroad.

Friends,
A unique situation -
I am getting ready to apply for my wife's AOS (ROW). She has never used a last name on any legal documents, example birth certificate, passport.
Her H4 visa was processed with "FNU" - family name unknown .. Do I need a last name for filing her I-485? Can she get a GC with only her first name on it?
Or will they process it with FNU as last name...
Should i go to her embassy (Indonesia) and get her passport changed to my last name before applying for her 485? In that event, her H4 visa,passport and birth certificate will not match her passport..
Any thoughts on my situation?
