The aim of participation on these talk shows is two fold- One to increase the awareness amongst the general masses regarding the problems being faced by legals as the masses are mostly ignorant about out situation. Secondly, for people who are waiting for their GC's and could be potentail members of Immigration Voice for them to join the organization. It has been proven time and again that there is strength in numbers and also the organization needs resources from it's members.
It is a logistical challange to put a program like this together with the host and the panel and IV did a good job at it with knowledgebile authorities like Stuart coming out strongly supporting our cause. Every one felt that the moderation could have been better. It is the skill of Larry King or Neil Conan of NPR that sets them apart but some times there are moderators who are very knowledgible, not necessarily on every issue but are challenged becuase of their heavy accent and other reasons.
One of the posts questioned about the publicity stunt of having a senator on the program. I am not sure if every one realizes the amount of ground work that has to be done to make that happen and must I say that all the efforts were made to get them but it did not work out finally in the end because of issues with timing.
Over all, in my opinion, it was a good program and served IV's agenda.
I would like to thank IV core team for the effort of making our immigration problems public. I could not personally listen to the show and it would be nice if someone posts a link to a recording.
In addition, I know that it may not sound feasible but I have an idea to create our own Internet radio. How you all think?

I was in a similar, but slightly different, situation. I got my 3 year extension while my previous extension was still valid (a couple of days left).
So at the POE, the officer gave me on the I-94 a date that was 3 years from the date of entry (that's the max their system was designed to handle) and said that since I have the visa on the passport, the next time I reenter I would get the later date on the I-94.
Thanks fromnaija!
I just wanted to confirm this is possible and if somebody has any experience in doing this.

USCIS needs to work with paper files for review/approval. RD as on your receipt is the mailroom receive date. Real receive date of a processing center is when they actually opened your file and entered in the system, which is what you see online as, "...your case was received on...". Processing centers prefer to treat this date as RD as this suites them better. In your case your true RD should be a couple of days prior to your ND. Who is responsible for the 4 months period in between when several thousand applications may have been received and entered in the system (and placed ahead of you)? Nobody.
babawa10: Your case has shuffled around between centers. It was received last by TSC in Aug 08. Therefore, don't get surprized if your Real RD is now Aug 08. USCIS makes a simple claim, they process cases in order they receive them. Perhaps they are talking about the paper files, which are placed in sequence on shelves as they arrive. Check online what it now says for "...your case was received on...".
My case status online does not say anything about when it was received. It just says, "This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.". There is so much ambiguity at USCIS that it takes tons of reading / pulling hair just to understand what they mean. They have transferred my case three times. First of all there should be a reason for it (no reason makes it you wonder why ??) , then if they keep transferring it from one center to another, does that mean that the "received date" will be changing for ever and the case will never be processed ? I think USCIS should be accountable for that.

you told that fees are reasonable, can you tell me you get answers all your questions promptly?
or do lawyers asks extra money for every related question? (this is reported on other thread by some members). say for example, if I want to ask about not only AC21 but also about travelling on AP etc.?

TV25,
1) You were in H4 at first when U came to this country.
2) Then you were sponsored(H1) by some company.
3) you worked for 3 months.
4) went overseas to get stamped(visa) for H1. But they put you on hold for administrative process.
5) You decided to return with H4 visa that was valid at that time. (although technically you are not supposed to enter using H4 since you already started working on H1)
6) You came back to US on H4.
7) Get a letter from USCIS that h1 is denied.
What surprised me the whole time was, why did the consulate not cancel the existing H4 visa, since your status already changed?
That's the first thing they do, when you go for visa stamping...they cancel without prejudice, and issue a new visa....even if its going thru a administrative process, they would still cancel it, cause the assumption is you are going to get the new visa once the process is complete.
See that's what I exactly said in my last post. The COS that is obtained in the US is a "privelege" it is by no means supposed to over ride what the consulate decides in terms of the visa stamp. That is exactly the reason some of the applications get a H1 approval without the I-94. This is done because they are in no position to verify a lot of things that the consulate can verify. If you have a valid H4 stamp and you want to get back into H4 status instead of applying for another COS, you can go out of the country and enter using H4 and your status will change to H4.
Anyway, like I said in our case I asked the IO behind the counter in vancouver if she can use H4 to enter the US his response was "It depends on the officer at the POE ". Guys I spent a good two days researching this topic while we were stuck in vancouver. Basically you can come back but your status is reverted back to H4. You are not supposed to work once you are in the US. In our case we immediately applied for another COS prem processing within the US and it got approved. My wife again changed jobs last year on H1 and that got approved too.
In this case, the misrepresentation of facts in her H1 app is something the poster might want to get clarified. She should be fine.

I got RFE through attorney. It is asking following details
1. Emloyment verification letter with present and intended permanent employer
2. Last two months pay slips
3. "Although your I 140 petitioner indicated in your initial I485 filing that you were employed by company A at that time, your Form G325 indicated that you were employed by company B and you were authorized by B at that time, please explain discrepancy"
I am bit worried about question 3. I worked for company A and labor, I140 applied when I was with A.
But during I485 filing I was with company B and in G325 I mentioned that.
It looks like company A by mistake mentioned that I was still with them.
I called my attorney he said its upto me decide which company I should work for.
But I am not sure company A provides an employment letter for me because I am working for comapny B now.
If B provides employment letter since it is >180 days since I 485 applied, will there be any issues?
Please give your opinions...
From what I understand, you changed employers before filing I-485 and used the same Labor/I-140 from the old employer to file I-485 while working for the new employer? Wow!!! And your new attorney filed your I-485? Your attorney should have known better....
From what I know, it doesn't work that way, the 180 day rule applies to change of employment after filing I-485, not before you file it. You should have started a new LC/I-140 with company B and filed I-485 using the PD of the old approved I-140 from company A...But your case is not lost as long as you can provide an offer of employment from company A saying that they will hire you once the GC is approved...
Obviously, this is my opinion and others can comment on this as well....

If you sign the agreement, yes, it will be legally binding or as you put it "stand in court of law". Is the agreement written to only suit the purposes for the employer? Yes. Would I sign it? No.
You need to speak to an attorney. The language which ties to this employer until a project is completed might go against the "employment at will" law - not sure what the status is in NJ.
Once you complete a timesheet, an employer should pay you considering the timesheet is appropriate and not fraudulent. If the employer does not get paid by the client, that liability should not shift to you in terms of asking you pay back your paycheck.
I am not a lawyer (only a liaison to the legal eagles), please seek legal advise.

Same here. Company attorney mailed 3 year H1/H4 extension today. Hopefully, I will get H4 approval and I-94 before April 1st. If not, I will pray for the H1 cap increase. And if not, I will apply for H1 later this year under Masters quota.
I heard you dont have to have masters requirement in the actual job offer to take advantage of Masters quota. Is that true?
Well, I am gonna give it a shot by going for PP and hope the H4 extension is approved as well along with 129. I will do that only if H1 cannot be filed for when a H4 application is pending. I am gonna check with some attorneys and will decide. The only catch is if you dont spend 2K or some thing you might lose 50/60K until oct 08 and time is of essence. Who wants to sit idle for so long?
H1B cap of 20K is for students with Masters Degree. If you have Masters Degree, you can file for H1 which will count against that cap. It has got nothing to do with job requirement.

That's just it; isn't it. I'm here legally paying taxes, immigration and all that other good stuff. This last year many illegals who filed 2006 taxes and were awaiting refunds did not get the refunds due to their immigration status! Many things are on the change and when 4 of you are on TIN#'s it is easy to get pulled. What they audited us for was stupid totally illogical! Prove we were married, that the kids lived with us and we lived together in same house. That was it. Why would you file jointly if you did not live together in the first place. IRS office confirmed, then 2nd one re-confirmed it was flagged by INS and it wasn't even hidden well. So, that was August and we filed 07/05 the audit was for 2005 returns. They have all paperwork, but haven't heard anything back yet. That is a good thing too. I crammed every bit of evidence I could into that sealed file before sending it off. The officer who confirmed receipt of it was laughing harder with each turn of the 50 odd documents of proof that I had sent. She said I don't think we can deny that you live together and the kids live with you!!! Please don't worry about it. You should receive a letter in about 30 to 40 days with the outcome.
That is it and I shall wait for the letter to arrive signing it off.
Cheers,
LRIndy.
Working in the accounting/financial industry, I have to deal with the IRS time to time. From my experience, I can tell you that IRS care about their customers and if you say something, they will actually listen to you. Their customer service is actually pretty helpful.
After all you have provided them, if they still cause you more trouble, hire a local CPA and the CPA will work with you to resolve any issues with the IRS. CPAs are usually less expensive than lawyers.
Hearing your case, it sounds to me that your's was just a random case. I don't think they will bother you anymore. Good luck.
