out of deference to the President, the republicans are not coming out publicly in opposition to it, but in private they are acknowledging anonymously that the bill is dead

"As a result, average processing times for certain application types may become longer. In particular, naturalization applications filed after June 1, 2007 may take approximately 16 - 18 months to process."
What are the chances for the people who applied on July 1 ?

The Web site for the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juarez (http://ciudadjuarez.usconsulate.gov/h1n1.html) reflects that most consular services that were suspended until May 8, 2009, will remain suspended until May 15, 2009.
Once the consular services for immigrant and non-immigrant visas begin operating again, we can only imagine the huge backlogs that will exist for visa applicants. According to consular officials and a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) local office at a State Bar of Texas meeting, the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juarez is the largest in the world. There are numerous processings of visas taking place at Ciudad Juarez per day. The consulate processes between 800-1200 immigrant visas each day, 1,000 non-immigrant visas each day, 70-150 waivers each day, and 50-100 various other services for U.S. citizens.
Once the consulate begins its daily operations, applicants should arrive 15 minutes prior to their appointments. There is a parking lot across the street from the consulate, in the Centro Commercial. Before walking to the consulate, it is important that applicants leave their cell phones and any other electronic devices in their cars. After checking that all electronic devices and other prohibited items are left in the car, the applicants will enter the building and go through security. After going through security, they will be issued numbered tickets. All U.S. citizens should be prepared to present their passports (or passport cards if traveling by land) beginning June 1, 2009. After their interviews, a courier service, DHL, will deliver their visas within 2-3 days.

This is my opinion only (not IV's).
My feeling is that the Iraq Accountability Act and other similar bills that will be flooding the Congress with the Democrats in majority should have a minimal impact if any on the CIR. First, the CIR whenever it is introduced will be referred to the Judiciary committees of the Senate and House for markup. After the Judiciary committee is done, then the modified version will come before the entire Senate and House for additional discussion, debate, amendments, etc. before going to a vote. Assuming the bills are passed by the Senate and House, they will have a conference to sort out the differences in the House and Senate bills and then this final version of the bill will be placed before the House and Senate for a final vote. Once, this vote takes place and the bill is passed, then it goes to the President for signature.
In a nutshell, the CIR will alongwith other bills be processed in a parallel manner. A lot is in the hands of the Senate Majority Leader (sen. Reid) and House Speaker (Rep. Pelosi) in when and how long they want to schedule a debate on any bill that has passed through committee and is ready for floor action.

What format are you saving images in? As I understand from what I've been told (I've shot with a D70, D1, and D200, but not a D100), the D100 can be quite a pain to use with compressed RAW, as it becomes very slow; are you sure the settings haven't somehow gotten changed to use RAW compression?

I am currently on H4 and it expires in a couple of months. I have my H1 approved for 2008 quota. My husband's H1 expires on sept 2007. we are applying for I-485 next month. Do i need to apply I-765 and I-131 because as per the instructions from my attorney it says the following:
-I-765 or EAD card. If you have valid H-1B valid more than one year and will not change job, you do not need EAD.
-i-131 or Advance Parole. If you have valid H-1 or H-4 visa stamping valid more than one year of if you are Canadian citizen, you do not need AP
Please clarify me whether I-765 and I-131 is required for our case.

I was employed by company A until from 2004 thru May'07 with labor and I140 approved in 2006, I was laid off from Company A in May'07 therefore I joined company B in June (transfered my H1).
In July , Company A agreed to file my I485 under future employment as all the EB catagories became current but I still work for company B (H1 with company B), now since in Jan'08 it will be past 180 days on my 485 application.
Can I file AC21 to change my employer to Company B and continue my I485 through to Company B?
Answer is Yes. Company B should be prepared to confirm that they have a job (same/similar as in original LC) which they will offer you on permanent basis upon your getting GC. Note that current job with B is on H1 (means it is not permanent).

Hi,
Need quick suggestion:
Company A filed for GC. Labor and I-140 was approved. I-485 was filed during July 2007.
I changed employer in June 2009; replied to RFE and filed AC21 in July 2009.
I came to know that my GC sponsring company is going to close the company soon. My current immigration attorney is suggesting that if that happens; and if INS came to know that GC sponsring company is closing down, they will revoke my I-140.
Is it true? I thought after AC21 is invoked; whatever happens to GC sponsring company, it will not impact my GC application in any way.
Please advice.

OK, now I understand the question. Even after PERM was implemented, the person being substituted on an LC included a new ETA 750B with the I-140. Since you already have a lawyer working on this, it would be better to ask him/her if you need more details.

Hi,
My I-140 will be approved shortly in premium processing and I'll be applying for 3yr H1 extension. There is a chance that I may get laid-off soon and I wanted to know if I can change the jobs while my H1 extension petition is pending with USICS. My current H1 will expire in June'07.
Sorry, if I am asking a question that has already been addressed here. I tried to browse the forum but could not find anything.
Thanks,
Natika

H-1B Visa Employer that Does Not Effect a �bona fide termination� under the H-1B provisions Liable for back wages to H-1B Employee.
To employ H-1B visa nonimmigrants, an employer must fill out a Labor Condition Application (LCA). The LCA stipulates the wage levels that an employer guarantees for the H-1B visa worker�s pay. In signing and filing an LCA, an employer attests that for the entire �period of authorized employment,� the required wage rate will be paid to the H-1B nonimmigrant.
An employer need not compensate a nonimmigrant, however, if it has effected a �bona fide termination� of the employment relationship. To ultimately effectuate a �bona fide termination� under the INA, an employer must notify USCIS that it has terminated the employment relationship with the H-1B nonimmigrant employee so that USCIS may revoke approval of the H-1B petition. The employer must also provide the employee with payment for transportation home. Failure to do so may subject the employer to liability for back wages to the H-1B employee.
In Amtel Group of Florida v. Yongmahapakorn, Amtel provided notice to the H-1B visa employee that it had terminated the employment relationship. Amtel Group of Florida v. Yongmahapakorn, 04-087 (ARB 9/29/06). However, the court held that notice alone was not sufficient to end the employer�s obligation to pay the required wages to an H-1B employee. The employer does not effect a �bona fide termination� and, therefore, end its obligation to pay the required wages to the H-1B employee unless the employer has also notified USCIS. The court therefore ordered Amtel to pay the employee the prevailing wage for an internal auditor until the expiration of her authorized period of stay for H-1B employment, plus prejudgment compound interest on the back pay owed and post judgment interest until the employer made full payment.
