In Franz Kafka's chilling story "The Metamorphosis", a man wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed into a "gigantic insect". Recently, a California family, all permanent residents for over 30 years, was suddenly informed by the government that they were all illegal aliens and must return to Thailand. Mr. Promsiri entered the United States on a student visa. His wife and two young sons, aged 10 and 3 joined him in 1971. In 1975, the parents obtained a divorce from a Thai Consulate in the U.S. The wife married an American citizen, and the couple honeymooned...

My employer says its the company's policy not to file for EAD or AP for all its employees. They are just filing the 485. I am sure that they(employer and lawyer) will not be giving me the 485 reciept too.
What options do I have ?

Most Immigration Lawyers that care for their work are tired of Mr. Dobbs. Mr. Leopold from AILA posted a valid statement about Dobbs' campagin of Hate:
CNN has a journalistic obligation to dump Lou Dobbs and his campaign of hate against immigrants.
It is unthinkable that a major network would permit someone to build a career based on fear and hatred of human beings. Why the double standard when it comes to immigrants?
As Janet Murguia, the President and CEO of the National Council of La Raza pointed out yesterday in her Huffington Post blog, http://bit.ly/Mk0ez, Dobbs disgarded any sense of journalistic objectivity or integrity (assuming he had any to begin with) when he openly participated in an anti-immigrant rally in Washington, DC sponsored by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an organization designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a hate group. According to SPLC:
� FAIR was founded by John Tanton, who also operates a racist publishing company and has compared immigrants to "bacteria."
� FAIR has employed members of white supremacist groups in key positions.
� FAIR has promoted racist conspiracy theories.
� FAIR has accepted more than $1 million from the Pioneer Fund, a foundation devoted to eugenics and to proving a connection between race and IQ.
� FAIR president Dan Stein once suggested that Asians and Hispanics were engaged in "competitive breeding."
Of course Dobbs� recent display of hate mongering is just his most recent in a long line of abuse including, as Murguia points out in her blog,
� His regular use of guests representing hate groups, vigilantes, and nativists as experts on immigration
� His relentless repetition of stories on immigrants and crime that project an impression far from reality
� His association of immigrants as carriers of disease that has been both inaccurate and pejorative
Enough is enough.
If CNN is serious about responsible broadcast journalism it must put an end to Lou Dobbs' hateful tirade once and for all.

As a California immigration lawyer who files many asylum cases, I am used to thinking of a the United States as a place of refuge and to documenting the horrible country conditions of other countries. I have successfully represented applicants for asylum who feared staying in their countries because while serving in their countries' armies, they were harmed on account of their sexual orientation.
It is therefore rather surprising to come across a story of a U.S.soldier who is fleeing to Canada (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/11/20/refugee-board-soldier-lesbian.html) because she fears harm in the U.S. Army on account of her sexual orientation. According to CBC news, U.S. Army Pte. Bethany Smith fled Canada in September 2007 from a U.S. Army base in Fort Campbell, Ky. She applied for refugee status in October 2007, saying that she was harassed and threatened by fellow soldiers over her sexual orientation and feared that her life would be in danger if she were deported and returned to the army. The Canadian authorities initially rejected in her claim in February 2009. However, on appeal, the Federal Court of Canada held that the refugee board must reconsider the case again because the Board made several mistakes in initially reviewing her claim.
The Federal Court's decision (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Smith%20and%20the%20Minister%20of%20Citizenship%20 and%20Immigration.pdf)noted that the refugee board failed to fully consider the evidence pertaining to the situation of gays and lesbians in the U.S. Army to determine whether Pte. Smith could have availed herself of protection in the United States. The Federal Court also noted that the Board failed to determine whether Pte. Smith would be persecuted on account of her social group - as a lesbian in the U.S. Army if forced to return. There were other errors mentioned in the decision.
It is sad that the U.S. policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," is the basis of an asylum claim in Canada. Pt. Smith was only 19 years old when she fled to Canada. From everything I read, it appears that she wanted to serve in the U.S. Army and no real desire to leave the United States. At a time when we apparently need people to serve in the Armed Forces and in fact give non-citizens a way to immigrate to the United States faster for their service, it seems ridiculous that an American citizen should have to leave. It it is time to eliminate the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

To all the physician members of this forum....
Conrad 30 program is up for extension on march 6.
According to shusterman.com although the extension is gonna take place, they plan to make physicians exempt from employment based category as long as they work in medically underserved areas....
If this bill includes the physician clause that will be a lifesaver for a lot of people and also help in visa retrogression albeit little bit.
Hope it passes....any thoughts anyone?

If your job location has changed from State 'S1' to State 'S2', your labor petition filed from Company 'A' is invalid. You cannot modify your 140 in the sense of changing job location from one state to another. Since your 140 is pending for a good period of time, here is what you can do :-
i) Get it converted to premium as suggested above and you'll know whether it is approved or not in 15 days.
If it is approved, you can file 485 based on it but you may have issues in the future ( possible but unknown if it will be caught at 485 stage )
If it is denied, you are in a soup as without an approved 140, you cannot port your PD.
Whatever you do, dont move onto EAD and work on EAD until your 140 is approved.

Hello,
I am here on a H1B visa and my wife is on a H4 Visa. She has recently been admitted to a masters program and would start going to school soon.
1. We want to get a F1 visa for her, so that she can get paid for some work in the campus. Would it be possible to get the F1 visa in Canada. Does anyone have any recent experience on getting this done ?
2. Say we not apply for a visa but only apply for a change of status and do not even go to India or anywhere else before the completion of her program. After that she would go on an OPT. If we go to India then, would it not be a problem in getting a F-1 visa, as her education would already be complete. Does it mean that she should get her visa stamped before she completes her education.
Thanks,
Gaurav

EAD renewal question
Hi
When renewing EAD paper filing not E-file, I had written the check in favor of USCIS instead of "U.S.Department of Homeland security" , do you think there would be a issue for them to accept the cheque?

Friends,
Our (Me / Spouse / Kid) I-485 is pending approval and our priority date is May 2007 EB2 India. I am planning to send my spouse and Kid to India for kid education. I do not want to cancel their I-485. They may stay in India till I get my GC :=) ( I dont know when)..
Initially I thought of bringing them to US every year to renew the AP. But It is expensive for me and I am thinking it is not a wise idea.
I am thinking of applying the Consular processing only to Spouse and Kid in India. They are dependants to me. I am the primary applicant. Is it possible/allowed to apply consular processing only for dependants and keep the Primary applicant in AOS
Thanks

I got my GC but my wife's application (based on my 485) is still pending. I think at this point I can switch jobs/go to school full time and it won't affect my spouse's case. Just want to double check on this, any thoughts??

I got the RFE letter today. I do not see any LUDs on my portfolio. But I got RFE by mail.
Here is the extract:
Your application contained Form I-693 in which the required Tuberculin skin test was not conducted. Please note there may be conflicting information on some published Form I-693 instructions regarding when the Chest X-ray report should be performed. It is required only when the Tuberculin skin test indicates a reaction equal to or greater than 5mm, or when the reason for why the Tuberculin skin test is medically inappropriate to perform has been annotated on the Form I-693. Please submit a newly completed form I-693 indicating the results of the required skin test.
Please advise.

I applaud IV's core member's achievement so far. I have been participating from Sunjoshi's S1932 thread to ISNAmerica.org and finally was happy when I saw IV progressing.As busy professionals what IV's core member's have achieved is commendable.
Looking back @ S1932 and this comprehensive Immigration reform bill. I strongly feel that we should concentrate on backing a bill meant only for legal Immigration. Anti Illegal immigration forces, make no mistake are all anti legal Immigration too. So these folks make lot of noice and have found means like budget reconciliation and amnesty to block our reforms. Majority of Americans and the lawmakers are pro-Legal Immigration (We have seen this when Senator Byrd amendment was voted out when the senate was discussing S1932).It does not mean we should not take any part in Comprehensive Immigration reform or similar bills. In fact we should all still send faxes call lawmakers and be vocal as much as we can but the main
aim has to be a bill dealing with legal Immigration only. One Other point I would like to put forth is we should Initiate a "for Legal Immigration only" bill in the house first so will not be jubilant when it passes in senate and then go in depression when it fails in committee or the house. If Dem's come to power in the house the scenario is going to be very different after the November elections but for now this is all we can do for the few days remaining before the election.

Today i received my EAD card, It says fingerprint not available. I have not yet received FP notice
Has this happened to anybody else, will i have to update EAD card after FP, how does this work
Filed on July 16th, My checks were cashed on 10th Sep
Thanks
vinod
First EAD will have no fingerprints, since you have not gone through FP.
Its normal. Read other threads.
You will not need to update EADs, renewal next year will take care of this automatically.
Could you please provide some more info on your case...ie. filed with which service center, case transfered or not....Remember this is community site, we share information/knowledge for benefit of each other, Thanks
