I was in a similar situation as you and had to use this firm. H1B filing experience was fine but the entire GC process and filing was not a good experience at all. There were days I had to call the paralegal and teach him the new immigration laws and that's never a good sign ! Because of their mistake I was stuck in Eb3 rather being in Eb2. May be they will deal differently with your case but have a chat with them and your company managers before you agree to use them. I m with another company and another attorney firm and they are awesome !
Anyway, pm me if you need more info. Good luck,

Interesting findings in the USCIS Ombudsman report - 2007.
http://www.aila.org/content/fileviewer.aspx?docid=22650&linkid=162321
From the report:
Employment-Based (EB) Green Card Applications
(Annual Report pp. 32-37)
In FY 06, over 10,000 visas were lost because of slow processing of EB cases, even though USCIS had an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 pending applications for employment-based green cards. As of May 2007, the
State Department estimated that 40,000 EB visas may be lost in FY 07 if USCIS does not increase the
processing rate for green card applications. The Ombudsman attributes the slow rate of adjudications to inaccurate statistics and inefficient USCIS management of its workload. The problem will become significant in the coming fiscal year if there is a dramatic increase in EB green card applications, and a significant backlog is likely to develop if this problem goes unaddressed.

Hi,
Can a H4 visa holder apply for the Praxis test series and then apply for State Teacher Certification. I know on H4 we can't work but is it possible , just getting the Teacher Certification.
I believe that you can take tests as long as you formally study on your own. But get this confirmed by a lawyer.
If it's not possible on H4 then I have an option to convert H4 to L2 (as my husband will change his status from H1 to L1) and get EAD.
Just a clarification: If your spouse changes from H1 to anything, your H-4 status is automatically terminated; there is no "option" to retain it.
Can after that can I get the Teacher Certification from PA ?
I checked on PA State Teacher Certification requirement for Foreign Educated Teachers and there is one point like this.
- is a citizen of the United States or holds an resident alien (green card) visa
Will EAD/H4 considered as Resident Alien Visa ?
No.
Or without Green Card it's not possible to get this Certificate ?
Please help me.
Thanks

If she entered without inspection she will have to process her green card in her home country unless you can get a waiver. But if she came here legally and her I-94 expired you may be in luck. You will have to file I-130, and I-485 for her. You will also have to submit I-130 for her son who will apply for an immigrant visa in Nicaragua. You may want to talk to an immigration attorney who will be in a better position to direct you on this.
Also this forum is mainly targeted at employment-based immigration and you may not get answers here for a family-based immigration issue.
Good luck.

Hi,
My 6 years of H1B will be up soon and my NIW I-140 petition is pending. I have received my EAD card though.
What options do I have - will I be able to extend my H1B for another year? Can I use the EAD card as it is without getting the I-140 approved, even though it is risky?
Thanks.
Extend H1B also

Hi allnaturaldmt!
Are you able to access the XML file using just your browser? You don't need a crossdomain file if the XAP is located in the same domain as that of your XML file - which it seems to be based on your description.
Thanks,

The Conrad 30 J1 waiver program has been extended to September 09.
I believe IV core has been actively pursuing the Conrad 30 Improvement act. Can core please update us regarding the chances of this legislation passing in September 09 ?

Dear Experts/Lawyers,
I wanted to ask a question about my status based on the situation described below:
1. I entered the United States on F1 Visa in 2003.
2. Applied for and got H1B approved, with the bottom right part attached. The visa was valid till November 2008.
3. Applied for and got H1B extension approved, with the bottom right part attached. The visa is valid till November 2011.
4. Never left the United States since I entered in 2003 on F1 Visa.
5. My passport expires in the middle of 2010.
Based on this, in order to ensure my legal stay in the United States, do I need to do anything, except renew my passport at some point of time before it expires, in terms of either having to leave the US, or go to some agency to update something? Please suggest. Thank you for your help.

You will get a 3 year H1 with new company if you have an approved labor and approved I 140 with any company. Any company really means any company. If you have worked or not, have an H1 or not, etc. etc - nothing matters.
To get a 3 year H1, you need an approved labor and 140 from SOME employer, whether its your past employer, your current employer or a future employer.

No it shouldnt take that long. However if you are not in a hurry, wait for 30 days and call the USCIS to see if it was sent back (which is unlikely in your case).
And dont waste your time by calling the officials or making Infopass appointments. Apply for a duplicate EAD asap. Yes, you have to pay the fees.

Hello,
how is it possible to change jobs while the GC application is pending (part of the July 07 madness). Supposedly there is the AC21 form, is there an example how this form should be filled, and what other documents should be included? How long does it take to approve? (for driver's license, traveling, etc.). Does it have to be filed with H1B extension?
The new job offer is 25% pay increase, otherwise very similar, could that be a problem?

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
In an interview on David Letterman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpvNXPPOMr8), actor Robert Downey, Jr., talked about a problem he had last year in Japan, when upon entering he was detained and questioned about his past criminal record. Downey said: I probably should have seen there was a sign that said 'No Felons Allowed' in English and Japanese and I haven't had that expunged yet," he said. "You can actually get things expunged but I've been pretty busy. So I was detained, I was interrogated. It was a blast.
Haven't you settled up? Haven't you paid your debts? Letterman asked.
Clearly I haven't paid my debts to Japan, said Downey.
While I certainly feel somewhat bad for Mr. Downey, this short exchange gave the impression that nothing similar would ever happen in America! Hah!
U.S. Immigration Law contains restrictions that bar entry to people forever, for virtually any youthful indiscretion they have ever had, e.g. simple possession of a marijuana 20 years ago, without regard to whether or not you were actually convicted of the crime! You do not even need to have been convicted; the fact that you admit you did it will also get you barred from entry. Heck you will even be bounced (http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/43) from the United States after overstaying your visa for one day, leaving one day late, and then trying to come back in on that visa. Or, you will be detained and returned because the officer thinks you MIGHT be working (http://addxorrol.blogspot.com/2007/07/ive-been-denied-entry-to-us-essentially.html).
So, if you were watching David Letterman and thanking your lucky stars that America is far nicer to arriving tourists than Japan--think again!

Hi, I am on L1B since Dec'10. My visa is expiring in Apr'11. Due to project requirement, my company has plan for my visa extension. Is there any way to get the GC? If part-time study can help to process my GC faster, I am ready for that too.
Looking forward for your professional guidance.
Thanks & Regards... Daulat
There is no way for you to go faster...there are people waiting 5-10 years ahead of you, and you will have to join at end of the line; Even full time study is not going to help you get the GC faster.
You are here just only for five months, and wants GC faster...welcome to reality.
