H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently updated (http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/ApprovedSchools.pdf) their list of Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) approved schools. The schools listed have all been certified to participate in the program.
The program allows foreign students interested in obtaining an education in the United States to complete a visa petition, pay the required fee, and attend a U.S. College or University.
Interested Foreign students: There is a process in obtaining a student visa, but it is not a difficult one. The student must first obtain Form I-20 from the U.S. College or University from which he/she intends to enroll, pay the required visa fee (Form I-901) and contact a local U.S. Consulate/Embassy to schedule an interview. The SEVP procedures differ among U.S. Consulates/Embassies; contact your U.S. Consulate/Embassy NOW to determine its particular procedure on applying for a visa before planning for the interview.
Interested Schools: There is a separate process to obtain F & M Certification. Authorized school officials must obtain and complete Form I-17. An overview of the SEVP Certification process (http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/i17_process.pdf) can be found on the ICE website . If approved, the school will be certified and allowed to issue Form I-20 to qualifying foreign students.
If you need assistance or an explanation of the SEVP, please contact our office (http://www.mvplg.com/contact.htm) to schedule a consultation.

i think at re-entry for the 485 pending /AP applicants, there is a POSSIBILITY that the officers could question you bout ur existing employment. For such cases people r adviced to carry the current employers letter along with copy of 485 receipt for safety sake.
with that in mind, if all possible, using ur EAD(after that 180 day rule) , get a job may be collect a paystub or 2 , get a letter and then use the AP.
in many other forums, pple have shared info such as "officer asked me if im still employed with the same employer who filed for GC." etc etc . its better to carry something atleast to prove that when asked.

Thanks for doing this service which helps many ppl's lives.
My employer applied for H1 extn last year (sept'08) and after my project ended in Nov'08, I left to home country in Dec'08 (I-94 expired)and I recently came back on H4. I heardfrom my employer that I got an RFE asking client letter and due date was May 4th. He did not respond since I didn't have project. Now I am in the process of project confirmation, and I have to be on H1 to start working again,
1) Do I have to apply for new H1 (non-cap) or just apply for H4 to H1 COS or both? if 'both' then can I apply both in one package under PP? Can I start working on receiving receipt number?
2) Can I apply H1 with the same employer, will there be a problem since he did not respond to RFE before? or can I apply for H1 transfer to a different employer using the previous H1 receipt number(is the receipt number still valid) or apply for new non-cap H1?

Check with your attorney first about your paper and make sure that it is still not sitting on his table in the pile of papers.

Since there is a mad rush of i485 applications , USCIS is going to do lottery to select applications for approval.Rest of them will be rejected.
Just kididng guys, take it easy.
Just gave a thought about it. USCIS can do anything. People who got rejection in H1b lottery feeling bad still.

Hi:
I received RFE (employment verification letter) from USCIS, texas center two years ago. I was still employed by the company who filed my GC application at that time. So the company replied and my case status was updated. But my PD was not current, so my case is still pending until now.
I lost job recently, if my PD became current in early 2010, will USCIS EVL me again?
I know no one can predict how USCIS works. I just want to check if anyone had experience that was checked employment status twice?
Thanks

I am a physician with subspeciality board certification. I have been in AOS/EAD since July 2008 as a dependent on my wifes EB3 Employment based petition.
Due to current retrogression, I want to explore the EB1 route. The question I have is can I apply for a new EB1/AOS in view of my current status of being in AOS/EAD already.
What impact will it have on my wife if I choose to add her as dependent.

At a recent AILA Conference, Michael Ayetes (USCIS Associate Director, Operations) announced, that during the months of July - August 2007, USCIS had received approximately 800,000 employment based adjustment applications (I-485s): 40,000 concurrently filed with I-140 petitions, 320,000 stand alone applications, and 400,000 dependent applications.
Of the 140,000 annual employment-based immigrant visas available, second and third preference categories are allocated 57.2%. If most of the employment based cases filed in July-August 2007 were second and third preferences, it could take approximately ten years of allocation to complete all these cases.
Although USCIS has posted on its website that I-485 cases received on or before August 9, 2007 have been entered into the system, a number of attorneys have not yet received receipt notices for cases filed at the end of June and July 2007. Moreover, some cases initially filed in Nebraska and transferred to Texas have now been forwarded to the Vermont or California Service Centers for faster processing of receipts.
USCIS is making every effort to process EAD applications within 90 days of receipt. The processing of Advance Parole applications may be delayed due to the number of cases filed.
A Biometrics notice will be issued even if a visa number is not available at the time.

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/Pinocchio.jpgBorder guards are not known to be the friendliest people in Federal service. The immigration attorneys at Fong & Chun in Los Angeles routinely hear stories of border guards shouting at aliens who are telling the truth, bluntly telling aliens, "you are lying to me," or asking in a hostile manner, "why are you lying to me?" The border guards do this, even when they do not really think someone is lying. They do it to destabilize or disturb the alien, to get the alien to make an error or say something wrong. Basically, it is a trap.
Recently, Alan Bersin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Bersin), the commissioner of US Customs and Border Protection (http://www.cbp.gov/) -- the head of all the border guards -- told Congress (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j07I9Bw4Q1kxusXReW4qAjNPdR2AD9FM4S300) that he did not know he was required to fill out and keep Federal paperwork to verify that his household employees had the right to work in the USA.
Bersin is the head of US Customs and Border Protection.
Bersin is a former California Secretary of Education.
Bersin is a former US Attorney.
Bersin went to Harvard and Yale.
Bersin says he had no idea he had to follow the law?
Why is he lying to us?

Unless you know the outcome, you never know.
Just be candid and talk to your employer. Sometimes they don't even know this as diff ppl in HR handle and interpret cases differently. I would talk to my employer.
my employer has no clue whether it can be done or not. however i posted this same Q to my attorney. i am waiting for the response from him. If anyone else have any inputs, i would appreciate it.

Any experience? I am looking for somebody who is responsive and can handle difficult queries from USCIS, if need be. How much do they charge for complete EB case?
Do you have any other suggestions?
