WASHINGTON - In a defeat for President Bush, Republican congressional leaders said Tuesday that broad immigration legislation is all but doomed for the year, a victim of election-year concerns in the House and conservatives' implacable opposition to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.

you can enter the country even a day before your visa expires, but the main thing here is the i-94 stamp where the immigration officer puts the duration of your stay...it will be till your visa expiry date. so it is better for you to have an approval for the extension so that you can get to stay till the expiry of your visa. do premium processing or something, you still have time...

i am not an attorney...check this out with your attorney...

According to TRAC (http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/240/), Justice Department data show that Immigration Judges are declining substantially fewer requests for asylum. Denial rates have reached the lowest level in the last quarter of a century.

Twenty five years ago, in FY 1986, almost nine out of ten (89%) of the asylum requests in the Immigration Courts were denied. While the annual rates have gone up and down during the ensuing years, only half (50%) of the requests were denied during the first nine months of FY 2010 � a record low.

One factor contributing to the improved success of the asylum seekers is that a higher proportion of the total are represented by counsel. It must be noted, however, that the number of those seeking asylum in court proceedings has fallen.

he growing success of asylum seekers is partly attributable to increases in the proportion who obtain legal representation. The latest figures show that more than nine out of every ten (91%) are now represented, up from just over half (52%) twenty-five years ago in FY 1986.

Asylum is relief for a foreign national to remain in the U.S. under legal status because the foreign national has suffered past persecution in his home country or country of last habitual residence, or because the foreign national has a well founded fear of future persecution in his home country or country of last habitual residence and such persecution is based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. So having a competent lawyer preparing your asylum case is a must in order to have a chance to win your Asylum case.

Shanky,

As you already know, the H4 is only valid as long as your H1 is valid. If companyA has a policy or if in future they decide to revoke h1, then you may not even know.

If I were you , I will go ahead and file for h4 transfer too.

If new position is similar in responsibilities, then no effect. but if the responsibilities are changing, I would recommend talking to your immigration lawyer about it

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Couple of my colleagues from 10 Aug filing in TSC got 140 approval last week, same is the case with a few from Nebraska as well, I am still stuck waiting for my I 140 even though I filed ahead of others.

I heard from some source that non citizens cannot donate blood... if this is not true then count me in ....

Citizenship is a non-issue. If I correctly, the only bar on blood donations arise from recent overseas travel (2 years or 4 years?) to one of the 'high-risk' malaria areas in the world.

and stands at 90% (active members vs. total members) as of now.

Sorry, I could not locate the thread about address change. I am moving at the end of this month to a new address in a neighboring suburb. I have an approved I-140 and a pending I-485 with AP and EAD in hand.

My wife has a pending I-140 and a pending I-485 with AP and EAD in hand.

Is filling an online AR-11 sufficient? Does this update our I-485 and other pending/approved applications automatically. Please advise.

Thanks.

No you do not need an airport transit visa if you are travelling via Germany by Lufthansa using ur AP. Until and unless you do not change terminals it should be fine and all lufthansa flight arrive/depart from same terminals.

I just returned yesterday using my AP and I traveled via Munich.

You will be asked for your AP at immigration in India as well as while transiting in Germany..
