In the last few weeks, as we worked to get our amendments in, USINPAC (http://www.usinpac.com/) has proved to be a tremendously important ally.
Read our joint press release (http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=15&Itemid=43).
We view their continued support as critical to our efforts once the Senate returns from recess.

Sen. Patrick Leahy ( D-Vermont ) introduced the Uniting American Families Act ( S. 424 ) earlier this year; it has 18 co-sponsors. The bill would allow same sex couples the same immigration rights as married heterosexual couples. Passage of the bill is likely to be tied to overall immigration reform.
At the moment, same-sex partners of legal immigrants do not have the same rights to dependent status that heterosexual spouses get. This is true even if the couple is legally married in their home country. Often, the "dependent" partner must apply for a B-2 visitor visa at the consulate, to accompany his/her partner. This visa is discretionary, and consulates could refuse to issue it. In addition, B-2 status does not allow the dependent partner to work in the US. Many heterosexual dependent spouses have a status that doesn't allow them to work either, however.
As the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/03/us/politics/03immig.html) reports:
Senator Leahy�s bill would add the term �permanent partner� to sections of current immigration law that refer to married couples, and would provide a legal definition of those terms.
�I just think it�s a matter of fairness,� he said Tuesday in an interview, noting that a number of American allies, including Canada, France and Germany, recognize same-sex couples in immigration law. Photo by http://www.flickr.com/photos/boscobridalexpos/

Send your petition to USCIS Ombudsman. This is a classic case of USCIS incompetence. They have all the documents and yet they pester you to provide the details.

In the last few days there is little news/action about STRIVE act. When this act was proposed all of us got excited and promised to each other to do everything to make it a success. Some of us did make phone calls to lawmakers (as per IV directions) but after that everything seems cooled down. Why are we losing our focus now?
Yes the new Senate bill S.1035 (tightening H1B program) might have put some doubts in our minds; but can we continue our efforts on STRIVE and deal with S.1035 thru amendments when it comes to discussion. Discussion about S.1035 on our forum is fine and in fact we might have to do that to figure out how bad/good it is our specific issues. But in the meantime we have to continue our efforts on STRIVE act too.

Call your lawmaker drive ended on 6th April. Today is 9th April.
The next step was to schedule a meeting with our lawmakers. Many people are doing that. Did you try doing that?
In addition, today President Bush renewed call for immigration reform. Things will happen before the Summer break.

Workvisaforall,
Considering you are an immigration attorney. Will you help me in my query?
My daughter is 2.5 years old and is on H4. She is receiving some modelling offers for commercials and photo prints. I understand since she is on H4 she cannot work. But can I apply for her EAD and work SSN by which she can work on these assignments?
I am looking at this purely for my daughters personal development and no big money is involved but still I dont want USCIS to think she is working even though she is on H4.
Your insights are appreciated.
Unfortunately, there is not going to be a hard consensus and a good satisfying answer until USCIS comes out and fixes the law. The problem comes from inconsistent USCIS memoranda as to whether an employer who moonlights on EAD has "left" his employer.
AILA has recognized this inconsistency and has provided us, immigration attorneys, with guidance on arguing why the inconsistency should be construed to mean that moonlighting on EAD while preserving H-1B is ok; however, nobody can guarantee that the USCIS will agree with these arguments 100% of the time.

Does anyone have any experience how long it takes to get the Canadian visa if my family members who are visiting were to travel to the Canadian Consulate in Seattle.
Earlier you used to get on the same day (in matter of hours), but apparently in March of this year, they changed their policy. "Minimum 24 hours" is not a very helpful indicator for planning :(
Temporary Resident Visas (Visitor Visas)
Applications submitted in person are accepted during our walk in hours Monday through Friday 8am to 10am. Effective March 8, 2011, applications submitted in person will no longer be processed on the same day. The minimum processing time will be 24 hours. Passports will not be returned until processing is completed. Processing times for mail in applications vary, please allow at least 4 weeks for processing. The Seattle Consulate does not provide expedited service, if you have urgent travel, it is recommended that you apply in person.

Pardon me if this question has been asked before. This query is for my friend who got laid off just before his 140 got approved in 02/09.
Case details: PD 08.2007; 3 yr. H1B expiring 08.2009
What are his options to keep the GC process rolling & things to consider?
Can he return to his home country, India, and apply 485 by consular processing when his PD is current?
Thank you.

Hi,
I need suggestion on travel.
I have applied AP for my wife on April 16 and still waiting. We have expiated her AP last week, still no updates. She has an emergency travel on June 20th. Her previous AP is valid till June 24th.
Can she travel out side on June 20th and come back with new AP when approved (I can mail her the new one once approved) or dose she needs to be in US until the new AP is approved?
As the old AP is valid till June 24th, dost it mean that they will approve the new one only after June 24th?
As this is an emergency I need your suggestion please...
Thanks,

Every employer does not do it. My employer does not do that.
Keeping H1 also has some advantages.
... If I485 is rejected
... Freedom to travel, heard that AP is just for emergency travel (at least intent)

Guys,
Can someone please let me know whether it is possible / advisable to travel while H1 approval is pending?
She is currently in H4 with a valid stamp in her passport. She filed for her H1 and was selected in lottery. She has a receipt but her approval is pending.
We were interested in making a short trip to India before Oct 1. But the consulting firm advised against it as according to them if she re-enters in H4 (even before Oct 1) while her H1 approval is pending, her H1 application will be cancelled and she has to restart the process all over again. Something to do with the last status on re-entry.
My thoughts are: The change of status will be effective Oct 1, 2008, why would it matter if I travel prior to that date?
A lot of you may have experienced the same dilemma, so please let me know...
thanks.

All,
I had posted some queries previously and thanks to all who took time to respond.
As I had said before , I have an admission to study for my MBA outside US for one year. Here is the latest update:
I was thinking I will get a one year leave abscence from my employer ( advt on the website), but apparently they dont support studies as part of the deal.
So i am out of luck;
Considering my situation what do you gurus recommend.
How can I leave US yet maintain my GC process.
My I-140 is approved
Situation:
Spouse in school Full time Studies on I-485 pending. ( entered on F1 then converted to I485..... so going back to F1 is impossible)..
I want her status to be preserved.
My thought:
Resign from my company when I need to leave. Convince them that I will return. Maintain no ties with the company for one year..basically can be compared to being jobless for one year.
and then get a letter that a future similar job will be available with the same Co. ( that sponsored my GC)...
Is this feasible ./practical?

I-140 Premium processing upgrade receipt number
Dear firends.,
My lawayer upgraded to premium processing for I-140 on June 20th,2007. Will I get a new receipt number or should I keep checking the status for the original I-140 receipt number
Please advise
Thanks
I'm in same boat, upgraded to PP on June 1. your new status of I140 will be "We received request for PP". usually they update the online status on friday night. Expect an RFE early next week, they just want more time, so they send some non-sense RFE. RFE resets the 15 day clock.
