Immigration Voice Team and Members,

I guess you may have seen this new bill introduced by Rep. Lofgren. This bill would be a boon to eagerly awaiting qualified candidates. Is there anything we all can do to push this reform!!!

Rep. Lofgren Introduces Bill to Retain International Talent
Bill Would Allow Best and Brightest in STEM Fields to Stay in the United States.

May 14, 2008

Washington, D.C. � Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) recently introduced H.R.6039, which would allow masters and Ph.D. level graduates from U.S. universities in science, technology, engineering, and math to obtain green cards without waiting in long lines, if they have job offers from U.S. employers. The measure enjoys strong bipartisan support, initial co-sponsors include: Reps. Chris Cannon (R-UT), Michael Capuano (D-MA), Chris Carter (R-TX), John Conyers (D-MI), Joseph Crowley (D-NY), Tom Davis (R-VA), Anna Eshoo (D-CA), Wayne Gilchrist (R-MD), Mike Honda (D-CA), Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Jim McDermott (D-WA), George Miller (D-CA), David Reichert (R-WA), Linda Sanchez (D-CA), Loretta Sanchez (D-CA), John Shadegg (R-AZ), Adam Smith (D-WA), and Ellen Tauscher (D-CA).

�More than 50% of the graduates from U.S. universities in masters and Ph.D. programs in science and engineering are foreign born,� noted Rep. Zoe Lofgren. �If we want our economy to continue competing in the global market, we have to retain these foreign students so they compete with us instead of against us in other countries. These men and women are the innovators of tomorrow, and we aren�t the only ones looking to retain their talents. Increasingly, employers from Europe, Australia, Canada, and even China and India, are beating U.S. employers for valuable talent. In 2000, for example, 75% of the world�s engineers were hired by U.S. employers�just six years later in 2006, that percentage dropped to 63%. This legislation will give U.S. employers another tool to recruit the world�s best and brightest.�

Hi,

My F1 visa (I got 2 yr student visa for Fall 2007) expires in May 2009. I applied for OPT and starting date is June 1st 2009. Since my F1 visa stamping is expiring, what is my possibility of visiting India after May �09? Is there any possibility of extending my F1 Visa for another couple of yrs without leaving the country and continue on my OPT? Or any other suggestions? Please help me..

well queen my long lost thought you were gone forever to never come back friend. I am not to familiar with the nikon lenses i would imaging the logical side would be to cover as many focal lengths as possible and that would be covered by the 18-55 and the 55-200mm lenses. however im not sure if the 18-135 lens offers supperior glass or not. If it does i would say that would be the one you go with. anyway it sure is nice to see you on here queen i must say i missed ya.

Hello,
I wonder if there is anybody who could help me with my questions about the diversity visa in US.

I was among the randomly selected people for DV 2009. Currently I am in US with F-1 visa. I learned that I am eligible for Adjustment of Status. Do you think it is reasonable to process my files in US or should I go back to my country?

What kind of documents should I fill in? Also I need to pay the filing fees (for I-485 $930 for example). Are there any other costs? I also read that there is a medical examination report, how much could it cost to me?

So after reviewing everything what will be the best decision for me? I asked an attorney but he didn't have enough of experience to help me, and I can not afford one more attorney.

I will be thankful if somebody could enlighten me on these.

Thank you very much.

Your post is not clear. Do you have Permanent Resident Card? If yes then why do you need EAD?

Hello, I'm Hyoung and I'm graduate student at Purdue University.

I handed in my paperworks to extend my I-20 before more than 2 weeks ago that is expired. But recommendation reason that my academic advisor wrote was not appropriate and that was "Keep studying Ph.D". I am planning to graduate my masters in August. And I-20 is expired on May/16.

Actually, I was notified that issue 5 working days before from ISS in my school that the reason is not appropriate and handed in a new recommendation form one day after when my I-20 expired.

At this case, do I need to follow applying procedure for a reinstatement with application fee $300?

I'm so depressed because I did everything that I could do to prevent this problem. But whenever I email to ISS of the school, the answer was that I should finish my masters within May/16 that is impossible for me. And Finally, they emailed me that I need to apply reinstatement now.
If there is some tips to resolve this issue that you can tell me, could you let me know?

Thank you so much

Regards

Hi,

I just saw on DOL website that my PBEC labor has been approved, on the other hand my old i-140 is stuck in NSC filed Sept 9th, 2006 EB3.

My question is how can i port my old PD? Should i wait for the old i-140 to be approved and then file for the new one or is there a way i can use the old i-140 later on during the 485 filing time to port the PD?

Any suggestion will be appreciated.


Is there anyone in this situation please help:)

welcome new member naveenarjun ! Dont count on it, else you will be disappointed every month. Only an Immigration bill can help us.

What document should I be sending to say that I am in I-485 adjustment status.

Along with other documents, include a copy of I485 Receipt Notice and EAD card.

Please share your experience, if any one come across this situation

I think you can us AP. I did not go for stamping but based on my I-485 filing I know that my case is pending on name check and I came to US using AP so I think you can also come back using AP.

I meant before I am out of status.
Also, if there are no paystubs for that period, are there any implications in regards to GC processing or any other way ?
Thanks a bunch.

Hi, I wanted to know if it is possible for me to maintain my H1 status (and my wife's H4) status while re-entering the US using I-131 Advance Parole document without a valid H1 visa stamp in my passport.

Here's my situation: -
1. I have been on H1 status for the past 6+ years.
2. My current employer filed for an H1 renewal/extension petition for years 7-9 which has been approved and we have the approval notice.
3. My wife's H4 renewal petition has also been approved.
4. We both have filed for I-485 Adjustment of Status which is pending with USCIS due to retrogression.
5. Our H1 & H4 visa stamps in the passport expired in September of 2009.
6. We are planning to leave the US for about a month in Nov-Dec and do have valid I-131 documents for purposes of re-entering.

At the port of entry, can we show our H1/H4 approval notices to the IO and request that he stamp our new I-94s for a H1/H4 status?

Thanks

IV should keep the twitter updates restricted to only DONOR accounts and possibly another twitter account for generic updates.

Disclaimer : I dont have DONOR status

It is only missed if it is possible. We were in contact with key senate offices.
The bill was just too controversial and the appetite to include immigration provisions was just not there. We are stll making last minute efforts. the provisions are in the current CIR version and should be in all versions introduced as far as we know.

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.

Certain felonies make a person inadmissible, which means no Green Card may be issued for such a person for either 15 years of indefinitely. You need to be more specific. Crimes of moral turpitude are inclusive. There are some limited waivers for some, but not all grounds of inadmissibility.

I dont think you have understood the question. The OP asking what if the sponsoring person is deported due to feloney charge.

If you have the receipt number, then you can check the status of approval online at uscis.com. Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

Does anyone know, When to apply for FOIA for I-140 ? After or Before Approval of I-140. Coz I don't know whether my I-140 is approved or not yet.

Or should we wait until the processing dates cross our reciept dates ?

Anyone who did this successfully, pls enlighten the members.
