How in the world the US immigration folks will allow any one with out an AP?
What is this question? You must be kidding.
Hi,
We applied for EAD and Adv parole renewal on July 2nd for my wife. Her new EAD card was received in September and no word on the Adv Parole yet. Online status still shows 'case received and pending'.
She had her previos Adv Parole expiring on Oct 22nd. She left to India on Oct 1st. Now that her previous Adv Parole has expired and new one still not approved, will they allow her to enter US?
Thanks!

1) Code of Federal Regulations (8 - CFR) govern the visa officer on what to do and what not.
2) Always renew your work visa before the expiry of the existing one. Go 5 or 6 months before the expiration of current work visa.
3) Don't lie on visa application i.e. Form DS-160.
4) If you are given a 221g (does not matter what color), DOS (Department of State) may or may not know when clearance was received.
5) Case Status Report on the embassy website may or may not hold the updated information.
6) 221g does not mean that it will take months to clear. It can get clear anywhere from 7 days to forever.

Hi Friends,
Please read the below query and post any information you have. Thanks in advance for your help !
I have an appointment for H1 VISA re-stamping in Toronto, Canada in 2nd week of October
My current H1 VISA is valid until Nov 2006.
I am planning to get restmped based on my new H1 petition valid until Sep 2008.
The problem here is that my passport is valid only until Dec 2007.
In this case Can I get the new VISA stamped until Sep 2008?
On the website it says that "To be eligible for a VISA, you passport must be valid for at least 6 months past intended stay in the United States"
Please post your valuable replies.
Regards,
Krishna.

Guys, Sorry for my ignorance but
I was checking vfs-usa.co.in website and in "Immigrant Visas for East & West " section, its written
An immigrant visa allows the person receiving it to live and work indefinitely in the United States. Immigrant visas are issued based on approved I-129F, I-130, I-140, I-360, or I-600 petitions that establish a family- or employment-based relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary.
I have my I140 approved through a american company and my h1b is getting expired in june 09.
According to above wordings, I can get a visa to live and work indefinitely,based on my approved I140. I have never heard about it.
Might be some one can explain what is exactly means.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Ok, so the above says that you can get a "immigrant visa" based on approved 140 (for your case). In order to get that "immigrant visa" that will allow you to work "indefinitely", you need to actually apply for the the "visa". Based on your 140, you can apply for this "immigrant visa" in two ways. If you are outside of the country, do what is called "consular processing" where you apply for a immigrant visa at a US consulate in a different country. If you are already (legally) in the US, you apply for what is called adjustment of status. The problem is that these "immigrant visas" based on 140 are in short supply compared to demand. Join the queue.
... so whats your confusion?

This is not enough information to provide any advise. What is the reason USCIS provided in the denial letter. You only provided the PERM details and that does not help anyone.

You are right. I just confirmed also with ICICI(my bank) and they do not send 1099. Damn.
So what should I do now. Do I report the interest income from prior years (its very small.... less than $200/year) and file TD F 90-22.1 form this year.
How big a issue is this. Should I be very scared?
Do not worry not abig deal. Just enter the amounts in $. This year Citi has used Rs 46 per $. Even I did not do it for first four years.

The online edition includes a link to a horrifying video of an ICE detainee, Mr. Boubacar Bah, who, after mysteriously suffering a skull fracture, was handcuffed while writhing in agony on the floor in his own vomit, then locked-up in an isolation cell for 13 hours without medical treatment and, finally, transported to a hospital in a coma where he later died.
It would be one thing if death in ICE detention was a rare occurrence. But, unfortunately, it's all too common. In a related article, also published Sunday, the Times reports about other ICE detainee deaths which were the result of substandard medical care and abuse. http://bit.ly/6gJlXu.
As I sat down to write this blog, I hoped to pen a stinging piece expressing my anger and calling for a full overhaul of ICE's detention system, not just more press releases and empty promises. But the New York Times articles speak for themselves �107 people have died in ICE custody since 2003 (not counting the immigrants who were released shortly before death so they wouldn't be added to the tally). Added to my anger is the revulsion that I feel toward an agency that is not only incompetent to care for those it locks up, but whose bureaucrats conspire to avoid paying detainees' medical bills and hide from bad publicity, rather than attend to immigrants in their custody. It seems not one of the faceless ICE bureaucrats is ever called to answer for his or her transgressions. Indeed, participating in the abuse and neglect of ICE detainees may have resume value. Just ask Nina Dozoretz, who was the longtime manager of ICE's Division of Immigration Health Services and Vice President of the Nakamoto Group, a company that, according to the Times, was hired by the Bush administration to monitor ICE detention. Dozoretz reportedly participated in the ICE conference calls where officials debated ways to avoid paying for Boubacar Bah's medical care, and came up with a scheme to shift the costs to his indigent relatives before he died. Shockingly, she was recently hired by the Obama administration to overhaul the ICE detainee healthcare system (I guess I won't hold my breath waiting for positive change I can believe in as it relates to ICE health care).
The abuse is not limited to ICE detainees who are unfortunate enough to become ill or injured while in custody. Last month Chris Crane, Vice President of the Detention and Removal Operations of the union representing approximately 7,200 ICE employees who work in detention and removal operations, testified before the U.S. Congress. He described the abuse faced by immigrants detained at facilities run by private contractors and seriously questioned ICE's will to investigate and police the system.
I have been told that some contract workers in certain facilities have allegedly engaged in consensual sexual misconduct with detainees and it has also been alleged that there have been instances in which contract guards have raped female detainees. It is also alleged that contractors are smuggling contraband into the detention facilities. In areas near the southern border of the United States where contract workers also assist with the transportation of detainees, it has been alleged that contract guards have been involved in, and arrested for, smuggling foreign nationals into the United States. If any of these allegations are true, it certainly begs the question, "what is ICE doing to stop these problems?" As one veteran ICE officer stated to me last week, during a conversation regarding contract guards smuggling contraband into detention facilities in his area, "ICE managers are well aware of the problems in the contract facilities, but don't seem interested in doing anything about it." While this statement may surprise many in the American public, it would not surprise ICE employees who are well aware of problems within ICE management and the unethical manner in which ICE internal investigations are conducted.
Frankly, I have read enough articles about abuse and death in ICE detention. There can be no doubt that the system is corrupt to its core. Can you imagine if, instead, the Times had reported that an American had died in Iranian, North Korean, Cuban, or Syrian custody under similar circumstances? We would all be incensed. The Administration would call for heads to roll, impassioned speeches would thunder on the floor of Congress, and the blogs and media pundits would rage. But the cruelty described by the Times is homegrown. It is endemic to the ICE detention system and will continue unless something is done to stop it.
Several months ago homeland security secretary Janet Napolitano and ICE assistant secretary John Morton announced a review of the ICE detention operations with the stated goal of creating a "truly civil" detention system. In light of what we now know, that effort is too little, too late. The ICE detention system is a national disgrace, requiring President Obama to take immediate steps to protect the constitutional, civil, and human rights of ICE detainees, including,
Suspending ICE's detention authority by placing it in receivership with the Department of Justice pending a full investigation of the abuse and deaths in detention;
Ordering a top to bottom review of ICE, in particular its detention and removal operations, with the goal of overhauling the agency so that the human rights of ICE detainees will be respected and the rule of law enforced; and
Ordering the Department of Justice to commence appropriate civil and criminal investigations of all deaths in ICE detention and pursue all appropriate civil and criminal remedies.
We owe it to the families of the 107 people who died in ICE custody to see to it that the abuse, neglect, and deaths are stopped once and for all. Maybe then they will be able to take comfort in the fact that their loved ones did not die in vain.

This is my first H1-b. My interview was on Jan. 4, 2008 in Toronto and got 221g for administrative review. I faxed my research description the VO requested to US consulate in Toronto on Jan. 7, 2008, got the check finished email today. I keep calling DOS for my status during the waiting time. It may work for my case. It is really a pain time. Good luck to you.
Hi I am stuck in 221(g) since mid-November 2007..over 75 days..can you provide some details about your case?
Mine is H1B 3 extension for 7th year at Mumbai. I am not getting any help in this matter from the authorities that my lawyer has contacted...only the standard response that it they are awaiting a response.
If you like you can send me a private message. Thank you very much in advance for your feedback.

Hello,
I am on L1 B visa here for last 2.5 years working for MNC (Fortune 200). The benefits folks recently contacted me and told me that I was not allowed to participate in US retirement plans (401K) due to L1 visa restrictions, and that they are returning all my previous contributions and earnings back to me as an income. They said that they allowed to participate me for past 2.5 years by mistake.
My question is if this is true ? Are there other folks on L1 who are participating in 401 K plans ? what are my options here ?
PLEASE HELP.
I have been in US on L1A for more than 3 years now....i participate in 401(k), my company matches as per company policy, company contributes to pension plan separately as per company policy for US employees.....
I am not a lawyer nor a tax expert and this is purely based on my personal interpretation.......all retirement/ welfare benefits etc have to be non discriminatory - i.e. any plan available to general class of employees on US payroll should equally apply to you irrespective of your visa status..this has nothing to do with whether company intends to sponsor GC or not or any other factor....only exception is B1 holders since B1 holders are not supposed to get US payroll........

They said that they allowed to participate me for past 2.5 years by mistake.
My question is if this is true ? Are there other folks on L1 who are participating in 401 K plans ? what are my options here ?
PLEASE HELP.
I have been in US on L1A for more than 3 years now....i participate in 401(k), my company matches as per company policy, company contributes to pension plan separately as per company policy for US employees.....
I am not a lawyer nor a tax expert and this is purely based on my personal interpretation.......all retirement/ welfare benefits etc have to be non discriminatory - i.e. any plan available to general class of employees on US payroll should equally apply to you irrespective of your visa status..this has nothing to do with whether company intends to sponsor GC or not or any other factor....only exception is B1 holders since B1 holders are not supposed to get US payroll........
