I had contacted all the senators and house reps in New Mexico via their website and heard back from Senator Jeff Bingaman.
Please see his reply:
Thank you for your letter regarding relief measures to raise the quota of employment-based legal immigration visas. I appreciate your taking the time to write. I understand the important contributions made by high-skilled immigrant workers in our economy, and I will certainly keep your concerns in mind as we debate immigration reform in the 110 th Congress.
Again, thank you for writing. Please continue to keep me informed regarding this or any other issue of importance to you.
Sincerely,
JEFF BINGAMAN
United States Senator
Thanks for your efforts at raising awareness, here is one of the first instances where we did not get a standard letter talking about H1 back.

After the show down of the USCIS and all the high skilled immigrats. USCIS posted that they are withdrawing the July 2nd board. This is great news.
I have filed my I-485, I-131, and I-765, and they reached USCIS by July 13th. According to the new board, USCIS will no long reject them.
So what will happen from now on? What is the procedure after this?
I guess this might be a newbie question. If someone can post some answers for me, it will be very helpful.
Thanks

Hi,
My wife filed her LC under EB3 with June 2003 priority date and I filed my LC under EB2 with Feb 2005 Prority date. Later, I had a job change, in the same company and had to re-do my LC/I-140 -- this time the LC was filed in Nov 2006. My lawyer requested retaining of my original Feb 2005 priority date.
Later when the floodgates opened in 2007, I filed for my I-485 (and my wife's) and a month later she filed her I-485 (based on her independent application and also added me as a spouse to that application).
So now we have the following situation.
1. We both have two A- numbers (Because I filed for her I-485 on my application and she filed for mine on her application)
2. We now have three different priority dates
Feb 14th 2005 � my original EB2 application
Nov 2006 � my EB2 re-application
June 2003 � my wife�s original EB3 application
Most people with Feb 2005 Priority dates have already received their Green Card approvals. I have not and we got concerned.
We contacted USCIS and they have told us that the file is "under review". We asked what Priority date are they using and the immigration officer said he cannot tell us that because the file is under review.
My questions are
1. How do I find out what priority date are they using?
2. What should I ask my lawyer to do to ensure that USCIS uses the right priority date?
3. I have an info-pass appointment on August 3 (my wife's appointment) -- what should I ask them? I went to them last week and got very little to no information. They did say my name check is complete and fingerprinting is complete, and that the case is sitting with an officer for review.

I've an appointment in October at Munich, Germany consulate for H1B stamping. Because of time constraints I decided to get the stamping done when I'm out there for work. I've already obtained the german visa (though had to provide plenty of explanation !). This is my 9th yr extn (MS, EB2 - 140 approved)
- Can anyone share their experience at the Munich consulate?
- or, should I plan going to Canada and trying rather taking the risk in Germany?
thanks,
I have experience with Frankfurt. They gave me 221(g) for security clearance. I had to wait in Germany for nearly 2 months. I think the likelihood of getting a 221(g) will be high.
Wherever you go, be prepared for 221(g) and a lengthy wait (3-4 months). I.e., make sure you have the resources to stay for that long a time wherever you decide to go.

not sure if moving to another state is a option...
but i can think of..
1) cancel the insurance
2) apply for another insurance effective from your return date, cancel the existing insurance.
3) take min liability only
4) see if they can suspend it for 2 months.

Specific Adjudication Process Steps by Form Type on My Case Status: When customers check their case status online, the process steps they see will now be specific to the petition or application they submitted. Until recently, the website listed seven identical process steps for all forms, even though not all the steps applied to all the forms. With the new feature, process steps are customized for more than 40 form types.
I like that. Thanks for posting the update.

Please meet the lawyers and get their opinion. If all of them say the same thing, then that is the option. If they have differing opinion, then check back via immigration forums.
Most of the folks at IV have applications based on employment and not based on marriage. So you may not get good answers.

Actually folks staying in the UAE can apply to the U.S. consulate there even if they are not local citizens of UAE. The disadvantage of applying in the consulate in UAE is that the visa will be slated to expire when the UAE visa expires. Logic being that if your status in the UAE expires, your US visa expires. In addition, chances of rejection are higher since the only local tie you have to the UAE is your job.
I would try to see if you could go to your home country and apply. If it is urgent, then you would want to try the US consulate in UAE.

My H1b application was delivered to USCIS on July 1st. I just find FLC data center has updated new 2008-2009 prevailing wage database which is also effective on July 1st. If based on the previous 2007-2008 database, my salary is above the prevailing wage, but if based on the new one, my salary is a little below that one.
Which database whill USCIS choose to use on my case?
Sounds like the new one.

SSN is not really a requirement to start to work. So the answer to your question is NO, she dont need SSN to work on EAD.
But in a practical scenario she need an SSN to work (see below reasons).
SSN is required to pay/withhold taxes and probably for pre-employment background checks and all. So it is very unlikely that an employer will hire somebody without an SSN (or at-least applied for SSN).
Does she need SSN to work on EAD?

Hi to all,
I met with a potential client who is an illegal immigrant living in the US. She has a child who is a US citizen. The father was voluntarily deported and the mother gave him permission to take the child back to their home country to visit the grandparents. The father was supposed to make sure the child returned to the US within 3 months. It has been 6 months. If my client files an application under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, will the US Government begin deportation proceedings?
She should file the Hague application. Her immigration status should not be an issue. This link can give you more information:

This really seems moving now. This may be the best time for the CIR to get passed in Senate. Conference may be different ball game but right now momentum is picking up and we (IV) has to do one last effort for our amendments.

DHS Leadership Journal Has Just Posted the Following:
I am extremely pleased to congratulate the crew of the cutter Bertholf for their first drug interdiction on one of our new national security cutters. This success demonstrates the capability of this important national security asset and directly supports the department's strategy for protecting and securing the southwest border.
The national security cutter program (http://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/NSC/) is a vital component of the Department's effort to rebuild the Coast Guard (http://www.uscg.mil/)'s fleet so that it can continue its proud history of executing important missions to support the nation's maritime security and safety while protecting our economic prosperity.

Last week I visited the cutter Dallas in a shipyard in Charleston. The Dallas, and her sister ship Gallatin, are undergoing extensive work to repair major structural and machinery problems that are the result of their age and overuse. The national security cutter program will replace these 40-year old, Vietnam era vessels with modern, capable ships to secure America.
In Wednesday's seizure off the coast of Guatemala, the crew of the Bertholf disrupted four drug smuggling speedboats at the same time with their multiple pursuit boats and helicopter. The crew successfully captured two vessels and four suspects while disrupting the other two boats.
The continued renewal of the Coast Guard fleet and use of modern technology across the department is an indispensable part of our strategy to improve the ability of DHS to secure our nation and protect its citizens.

Cut Off Dates- Consulate General of the United States Mumbai, India (http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/cut_off_dates.html)
shows different dates for EB3 India.
May be typo ????
They copy china dates. They did the same thing last time. I think their program needs a fix. They will change it manually eventually. But in the meantime if you want to rejoice in hope feel free. I did that last month. I knew I was kidding myself but then thought, why not indulge myself.
Three years back I dreamt my labor got cleared. Labor mind you not GC.Even in my dreams I don't see that. I was delighted. I was aware I was dreaming(One of those lucid dreams) but I let it continue. It felt good for a while. This is the same thing. Have fun
