Dear XXXXX:
Thank you for contacting me in support of recapturing unused
employment-based immigrant visas and imposing fees for
immigration services for intracompany transferees. I apologize for
the delay in my reply, but I appreciate hearing from you and I
welcome the opportunity to respond.
I agree that the U.S. government should recapture unused
employment-based immigrant visas and impose immigration service
fees for those visas. As you may know, the United States Senate
version of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, S. 1932, included a
provision that would recapture up to 30,000 H-1B visas that had not
been issued in prior years. Also, S. 1932 would impose an additional
$500 fee to obtain these recaptured visas. These provisions were not
included in the House-passed version of the Deficit Reduction Act of
2005, H.R. 4241. Unfortunately, the Conference Committee, which
was responsible for resolving the differences between the House and
Senate versions of the bill, did not include this provision in the
final
version of S. 1932. The final version of S. 1932 passed in the House
by a vote of 216-214 on February 1, 2006. President Bush signed this
bill into law on February 8, 2006.
Please be assured that I will keep our shared support for
recapturing unused employment-based visas and imposing fees for
immigration services for these visas very much in mind as Congress
considers immigration issues.
Thank you again for contacting me. As your Representative in
the United States Congress, it is a privilege and an honor to serve you
and to act as your voice in Washington. Please feel free to contact me
again with any other issue or matter that concerns you. You may also
want to visit my website at www.house.gov/rothman where you can
sign up for my e-newsletter and keep current with my latest
Congressional activities and policy statements.

Steven R. Rothman

My 485 was filed at CSC and later transferred to NSC (WAC receipt). My PD is Jan 2005. Still waiting..
I talked to IO using POJ method yesterday.The IO told me that receipts starting WAC will be processed according to CSC processing time which is at May 2006 for 485 currently! Does anybody know if this is really true or just that one IO not knowing what he was talking about? I know someone has raised this issue on some other thread earlier but till yesterday I did not personally hear this reply. I had called USCIS couple of times before and they all told me USCIS will process my application as per NSC processing time and as per my RD (not ND) till yesterday!

Hi,
I got a RFE on my 485 to submit all the W-2 and 1040. I do not have one of my W-2 form which my previous employer never provided me.
I want to write a covering letter regarding non availability of that W2. I have email proofs of my requests to the employer regarding the W2. I also want to attach a copy of the letter which IRS has sent me regarding the complaint I have filed regarding the same.
Could any of you guys help me with a format of the letter and also what all I need to include in that letter. I also need to know to whom should this letter be addressed.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I have a question regarding changing L1 to H1-B visa. If someone comes to US on an L1 visa can he/she change to H1-B visa without going back to India and getting the new H1-B visa stamped? What is the process to remain in the US and changing the status from L1 to H1? Will
Again, I assume that in order to change from L1 to H1-B the H1-B cap rule applies.
Yes, you can do a change of status (COS) from L1 to H1 without going back to India for Visa stamping. Your H1 will come under the annual 65,000 H1 cap, as you might know the cap of this year is already over, you can apply for this COS come April 1 2008 and you can start working October 1 2008 with your H1. Please note you CANNOT start working for a new employer by just receiving a receipt number for your COS. You will need to get the actual H1-B approval notice. While applying for the COS you will also need to show you are currently employed and this can be done by submitting two most recent pay checks along with your other papers. Hope this helps!!

Would appreciate guidance from attorneys and anybody gone through such an experience or having knowledge about it. Below is my scenerio:
My I-140 in EB-3 was denied and was appealed. As a response for my appeal, I received a notice of Derogatory Information and RFE.
After receiving this notice, we realized that company's old lawyer unintentionally clicked a wrong answer in the labor application that was filed and approved in 2006. There is the clause on Page one of ETA form 9089, Part C, point # 9, where we have statement if there is any familial relationship of the alien with the owners / partners of the sponsoring company. This was done by the old lawyer and he is no more working for the company.
In the notice, the appeal officer has mentioned "if a familial relationship exists between the beneficiary and the petitioner's owners / partners , and this was not disclosed to the DOL, USCIS may invalidate the labor certification based on this misrepresentation. You are therefore, requested to explain what familial relationship, if any, exists between the beneficiary and the officers of the company."
The above mistake was done intentionally as the company's present lawyer did mention about the familial ties of the beneficiary with the partner of the company in the H-1 application that was approved in 2009 and in the new labor application EB-2 category that was filed in 2009 and still pending. Also, a separate letter regarding the same was sent to the labor department this year along with the other supporting documents as a answer to audit.
Looking at the above scenario, can you all please let me know:
Is there a possibility to explain the appeal Officer that it was an unintentional mistake as it was not meant to hide as in 2009 , that is a year before this notice was sent out, labor department was given the right answer in another labor application and USCIS did approve the H-1 even after they knew that the familial ties did exist.?
OR
Am are they surely going to revoke my old labor?
Any help or guidance would be highly appreciated and anybody gone though the same can please let know their experience.
Thanx in Advance

Hi there ,
I will appreciate if any nurse/perosn who has knowledge about nursing profession answer my question.
What is the process for licensure to be a nurse in USA-for a person who has done GNM or BSC nursing in India.
Does it make a difference if one has done a GNM or BSc nursing from India, any advantage of one over the other?
thanks

I believe filing CPT and working on CPT till EAD (if filed with 485) arrives in hand should not affect pending I-485 at all.
Can somebody else in this situation confirm this?
This should be quite a common issue.

Employer needs to stop smoking weed and concentrate on work. Jokes apart there was no such proposal ever in pipeline so there is no way anything like this ever was approved. 6 year limit on H1 is a law that cannot be changed by admin process. It needs to pass house & senate. Also 6 year limit makes lot of people go back to home countries and uncle sam can consume their SS & Medicare taxes.

Hi
It's been 9 years since I filed for my Eb3. July 2002. Jan 2002 is currently being processed. Do not see it coming to July 2002 .. based on the trends so far. (may take 2 years or more for all I know)
When I filed for my EB3 .. i worked in as a support engineer.
Am currently a manager (not support but Web Projects). SO my previous job and current one do not have a huge overlap.
Questions for th gurus.
1. Do you think I should apply for EB2
2. If yes .. how much time will it take for me to get the GC? (quicker than my 2 years to indefinite for EB3)
3. Can I get my July 2002 priority date for my EB2.
4. Am currently on eAD. So is my wife. Will applying in EB2 affect my EAD?
Thanks
Vivek

My employer sent the documents for my H1b extension today to USCIS and they applied it through premium process, can anyone please let me know how many days it will take to get the Receipt notice both in Email and hardcopy?
My H1b expires on Dec 15th 2010 and if I wont get my receipt notice by than can I stay in US legally or should I have to leave US?
Please let me know your suggestion.
H1b extension Receipt Notice issue time in PP
You will get the acknowledgment within 3 to 4 days of receipt.
If you do not get receipt, then you are out of status and will have to leave the country. But don't worry you will have the receipt before Dec 15. BTW which center did you apply to?

LC Sub/EB2 with PD June 2001 filed on July 27 with RD of Sept 8 got approved y'day. 140 filed on July 5th was approved on jan. no RFE, all were smooth.
I was afraid because of my last years on L1B and filed H1b though this year quota and not sure if i'm lucky to have a number lottery. This gave me major relaxation.
Best of luck you all.
Had 1 Soft LUD on Jan 31 on 485 application.
USCIS is doing a great job thank to IV to make these possible.

Hi can someone advise me what is the best way and steps (forms and other supporting documents) to extend the stay for my mother in law beyond the 6 months as given on her entry under 10 year visitor visa for few more months (3-4 months) please. We have a religious ceremony so that she can stay beyond the 6 months and attend. One of the lawyers told me that beyond 6 month as given during her entry is not possible which I doubt it. Pl advise/share your experiences from those of you have gone through this process recently.

Can you guys give me sample job description that will qualify for EB2. He has 3 years of experience but that was acquired before obtaining the degrees.
