Illegals are another story, and now we need to focus on the legals, as all efforts trying to bind legal and illegal together turned out to be failure completely.
While we can keep an eye on these articles - these are coming up to counter our efforts.
Lets keep the focus on.
I would only say - IV is for legal immigrants, for those who have maintained legal status and have played by the rules.

Usually, even if the employer or attorney put their address, the USCIS mails the card to the address marked as the home address of the applicant.
Note that the I-765(EAD) and AP are not mandatory forms. Talk your employer into saying "these are not required right now, we can file later". And once he files the 485 and 140, you can always file the EAD and AP yourself (or use a lawyer).
I have a feeling he's trying to keep all documentation to himself. Don't let your guard down.
Purely my opinion.

Hi All,
My PD is 1st Aug 2006. Am i IN or OUT?
As per VB:
The cut-off date for an oversubscribed category is the priority date of the first applicant who could not be reached within the numerical limits. Only applicants who have a priority date earlier than the cut-off date may be allotted a number.
They stress and bolded "Earlier Than" so i am not IN???? :confused::confused::(:(
No, you are not IN yet..sorry you just missed the window...It could be a chance for you in next Oct'08 VB..

Delaware Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
Foreign physicians who received medical training in J-1 program must either return to their country or obtain a waiver before they can apply for an immigration visa, or change to almost any other nonimmigrant status. A J-1 waiver can be granted when the physician commits to practice medicine in an underserved area of the United States for at least three years. An area that is designated as Health Professional Shortage Area, Medically Underserved Area/Population or a VA facility normally qualify such requirement.
J-1 waiver applicants first submit their application (DS-3035) to DOS (Department of State) processing center. Subsequently, the applicants and the sponsoring employer must submit all information to IGA (Interested Government Agency) which will review the application and then forward the recommendation to DOS Waiver Review Division (WRD). After WRD issued its own recommendation, the case will be forwarded to USCIS for final decision.
J-1 waiver once granted, the physician will work in H-1b status. Therefore, J-1 waiver applicants must also qualify for H-1b requirements. As soon as WRD issued its recommendation, H-1b application can be submitted so that it can be adjudicated with the J-1 waiver application.
IGA can be a state department of health or any other federal agency, including Department of Veterans Affairs, the Appalachian Regional Commission, Delta Regional Authority and US Department of Health and Human Services.

Hello Gurus,
I am on a big confusion and dilemma, need your assistance and guidance. Here is my situation.
I am on H1B and recently terminated (July 21st), I am given 2 weeks of reverberation which ends on 4th Aug, and my last pay stub (from 1st -4th aug) comes on Aug 15th.
Now as the market is really bad, I am unable to find anyone to sponsor my H1 transfer. My wife is on F1 and I am willing to change my status from H1 to F2. Now my concerns are:
a) Is my H1B status still valid (after termination) and can I apply for change of Status to F2 now? I have read somewhere, I can apply for change of status to F2 only if I am currently on a valid status.
b) After applying for F2, before my approval of 'Change of status' if I get a job, do i need to apply another change of status application 'F2- H1B'?
c) In case i get a job after 3 months, transfer my status from F2 to H1, will i require pay stubs as one of the documents? But at this point i will not have any pay stubs as I was not working? How will the transfer go? Will there be an issue?
Please let me what are my best options right now...I appreciate all your help...
thanks you!

Just came accross this site. Not sure how accurate the data is, but looks like so far from 2002 there are only 701413 total pending 485 cases. I guess majority of those would be non employment based. Any one seen this data? Is this accurate?

Hi, my I94 expires on Nov 28th and my current employer is having issues in applying for transfer (they applied but without proper documents and it is still pending). I know I can continue to work based on the extension receipt they have even after Nov 28th.
I have some questions in the scenario that this application of extension (old employer) is denied after Nov 28th say on Dec 10th:
1) If a new employer applies for H1b transfer before Nov 28th and I get a rejection on Dec10th (with old one), can I immediately switch to the new employer (based on their transfer receipt) and continue work with the new one?
2) If the new employer is unable to apply before Nov28th (with holidays coming up), but say applies on Dec5th. Now if I get a rejection with old employer on Dec10th, can I switch to new employer on Dec10th and continue working (even though they applied for transfer after my I94 expiration but while my stay was legal) ?
Appreciate your responses at this crucial time.

Hi All,
I recently got my I140 approved and I am waiting to file my I485 as my priority date(Oct 2007) is still not current(EB2 category, India).Not sure how long it is going to take as the current backlog is July 2000 for India and China.
My brother is a citizen of the US and I need to clarify if my brother can apply for a family-based green card for me and how long does it take to get the EAD when applied through this process as compared to filing through the employer when I reach my priority date.
Also need to clarify if this process is sooner or still the same as applying through the employer.
Thanks in advance.

I heard from some source that non citizens cannot donate blood... if this is not true then count me in ....
Citizenship is a non-issue. If I correctly, the only bar on blood donations arise from recent overseas travel (2 years or 4 years?) to one of the 'high-risk' malaria areas in the world.

I have valid H1B from June 2007- June 2010. I have reentered the united states twice ( Aug 2008 from India, July 2009 from U.K) on advance parole with out my H1B being stamped. Now my attorney thinks I am under parolee status and my H1B cannot be renewed. However, I am under the impression that my H1B extension can be filed as I am working for the same company and when I reenter the states, I could have my H1B stamped and I will have dual status with out losing EAD, AP and pending 485 application? Can you please indicate if there is any USCIS memo which indiactes H1B can be extended with out losing parole status/ pending 485 application?

I am in a complicated situation...
Approved labor (PD 2003 EB2) from company A (not employed with them). Filed 140 and 485 (self as primary and wife as dependent). Ability to pay RFE on 140 and then denial on 140 and 485. Currently, appealed the decision because needed to get H1 extension and case has reopened. My wife (with company B) had her 140 approved (EB3 with PD 2006) and so after the July bulletin filed for 485 (her as primary and me as dependent) because my case seeemed a little dicy.
So we both have multiple 485's filed (although the first one since the decision is not final on 140 technically they might not have started considering the 485). Read multiple places that legally you can have only one 485 approved but could have multiple 485 pending and withdraw the other once anyone has been approved. Is this true? or you CANNOT even have two 485 pending?What is the best thing for me do do right now?
I have one question that whether you can file 2 I-485 or not?

I came across this forum a couple of days back and decided to do start on what I can do best. I may be somewhat naive in my thinking, but it is better to take initiative and make mistakes instead of waiting. Please do give your honest feedback and opinion.
Forums are designed for discussion, however we need to also focus on implementation. For that, we need to put the right communication tools in place to disseminate information, such as wikis, egroups, and calendars.
We need a somewhat structured organization of ideas, discussions, questions, projects and other things.This will allow us to handle more people gracefully (scale), allow people who have volunteered time to work on projects, allow discussions for those who want to discuss.
I have gone ahead and done the following (I do not intend to step on anyone's toes) :
1. Registered immigrationvoice.net and used Google Apps to provide email, calendar, and docs services.
2. Installed a wiki at http://ivwiki.com
3. Google groups for NJ IV: http://groups.google.com/group/njiv
I am in the NJ area (Edison) and would like to host a meeting this weekend (or the next) to exchange ideas and come up with some concrete (next) steps to take. I have space to host up to 20 people. If you are in NJ, we should talk. Please contact me via email: inc.idler@gmail.com or join the NJ IV group at http://groups.google.com/group/njiv and respond to my post.
Best,

Hi all,
I am from North Carolina and I am applying for ITIN for my wife along with 1040.
I understand I need to send 1040 & ITIN to the ITIN address:
Internal Revenue Service
ITIN Operation
P.O. Box 149342
Austin, TX 78714-9342
Being from NC, the mailing address for my 1040 is:
Internal Revenue Service Center
Atlanta, GA 39901-0002
I should be using ONLY the ITIN address for my this year's tax return and not the address for Atlanta, GA. Am I correct?
Once IRS send me the ITIN for my wife in 4-6 weeks, I should use that to submit my state return (where I am getting a refund). The state return would happen only after the deadline of Apr 17 because its only then that I shall get an ITIN for my wife.
Please advise.

Australian Immigration Minister Chris Evans announced recently a new agreement between Australia and New Zealand to improve identity checks and border security. Australia and New Zealand recently signed a memorandum of understanding [MoU] to share biometric data, an agreement that will further strengthen our nations' border security. Biometrics is widely used in the international community as an effective tool to manage visa and immigration processes, improve identity management and combat fraud.
At the Five Countries Conference (FCC) in London a memorandum of understanding was signed between Australia and New Zealand. The Conference enables Five data sharing Countries to exchange information and agree a way forward to improve border security. FCC data-sharing helps to establish the true identity of people whose identities or nationalities were previously unknown or uncertain, and has been used in Australia to check the identities of irregular maritime arrivals, other people in immigration detention and illegal foreign fishers. Since 2006, more than 100 000 fingerprint records have been exchanged, helping Australia and FCC partner countries to establish the true identities and immigration histories of people whose identities were unknown or uncertain. Collection and sharing of biometric data is a proven tool in the fight against identity fraud and can prevent unlawful entrants' efforts to thwart Australia's border and visa processes.
