Hi,
I hope I am posting in the right space and hoping to get some input from people who have been in a similar situation.
My mother is coming from India (Hyderabad) to San francisco . The ticket was booked in India and we were hoping to get a travel companion for her and help her through gate changes, customs and related stuff. When we talked to travel agents they kept postponing until one week before departure (She leaves on 14th). Now they were able to locate one companion until London but after that they split.
Eventhough wheelchair assistance was requested from London and confirmed. I am worried that she never traveled by herself and she wouldn't be able to complete all the forms or answer all the questions or even stand in the right queue by herself at the port of entry in San francisco.
I am sure there will be other passengers from London to San francisco but I want to talk to them before she gets on the plane and not leave to chance and hope somebody helps her. With all the new privacy issues how do we get in touch with Telugu(worst case Hindi) speaking people on the plane from London to San francisco.
I would appreciate your input
Thanks in advance
Hi,
You don't need to worry about it!. The Airlines Staff or the wheelchair assistant will take care of gathering the data from your mother's documents and filling up the necessary forms.

Thanks Kopra for the reply.
Also, if their are any Questions form the Port of Entry officer about Paystubs, can we say that employer couldn't find me a project; hence I'm changing back my status to H4 or is there anything else that we can say more appropriate.

This is simply called pure selfishness.
The problem he is talking about is not a widespread one and never heard of, other than may be for one or two people in this forum (one may be nk2006; sorry that it happened to you).
Even if it had happened to one or two exceptional cases, it can be rectified as it is a simple error from the part of USCIS. This is not a major thing to waste IV resources. This is not a serious immigration issue.
The way nk2006 misused IV resources for such a simple personal issue is unpardonable .
Knowing that there are such people among 'highly educated' is disheartening.
Redgreen,
Let me clarify couple of things.
1. This is highly widespread issue. It affects you, me and everyone. If you didn't pay enough attention on whats going on, its your problem.
2. Yes, NK2006 has put multiple threads and you are annoyed. But who are you saying this is misuse of IV resources? What is your contribution in action items and IV activities? I am not talking monetory part but activeness. If you are not contributing, you should not care about organization resource right?
I hope you learnt that its OUR organization. Any problem we are discussiing is OURs. Not your and mine.
Please forgive NK2006 for multiple threads and try to pay attention on real problem. If you still didn't understand depth of problem, PM me, I will give my contact numbers and we can talk at leisure.

I am in similar situation. I have received EAD and AP but planning to move on, using H1-B transfer.
If I use H1-B transfer, have I to ask my new employer to do PERM again and then I-140??
Or
Is it just enough to send a AC-21 letter to USCIS that I chnaged to a new job which is similar to the one for which I got PERM & I-140 approval.
Please advise.

I am in similar situation in regards to my wifes H1B and EAD situation. Following is my understanding but could be wrong. there are gurus in this forum who have been digging rules for years and would certainly point out any indiscrepancies in my reply. Make sure you keep reading the thread for a couple of days.
I am currently living in the US on H4. I will be getting my H1 approval in a couple of weeks.
>>>WAS your COS (Change of status) applied while filing for H1B ?
What will be my status untill Oct 1st from the day my H1 is approved?
>>>You will be on H4.
Do they send a change of status to me as soon as I get my H1 approval? Or do I need to apply for change of status to H1 after I get approval?
>>>If you asked for COS it should come with H1B approval. Which would mean you are automatically on H1B status on October 1st. (if you dont start the JOB or you are not on payroll you are accumulating Out of status time.) The indicator for COS approved I THINK is you will get your I94 (printed on H1B document only, towards the end) with a date valid for 3 years in future starting October 1st. If new I94 is missing that would mean either COS was not applied or COS was denied (usually happens if you were out of status for some time).
>>>If COS was not applied/denied you need to stamp that H1B in home country or Canada or Mexico. Stamping can be before October 1st. You cannot start working until you have an H1B stamp. make sure you have a valid visa to come back to USA if H1B stamping is denied at canada or mexico assuming you are not canadian or mexican, else you would need to fly back to home country to get a stamp, directly from Canada or Mexico.
What will happen if I APPLY for my EAD (from my husband,being on H4) before my H1 is approved?
>>>With the flood of filings, It cannot be predicted if EAD can come before H1B. But if it comes, you can start working sooner.
What will happen to my H1 APPROVAL before Oct 1st, if my EAD gets approved on Sept 1st?
>>>It would be valid, I think those 2 can co exist. You will have a choice of working on H1 or EAD. Once you start working on EAD, H1 Status is no longer valid (my understanding could be wrong)
What will happen if I get my I20 before I apply for EAD or before my H1 is approved?
>>>No idea.

I came back to US on Mar 30 2008 using advance parole. The officer wrote on I-94 , paroled until Mar 29, 2008 (I am assuming its an oversight).
I didnt detect the oversight till yesterday. What my current status and what actions should I take to rectify the error.
I am still working for my employer that sponsored the H1B which is valid till Feb 2009, although the stamp on the passport was valid only till Feb 2008
Thanks
For I-485 Applicant, it is not of much significance.
At POE, AP is stamped for one year (with I-94), but when it expires, it does not matter. One can continue working on H1 or EAD. And if someone is in USA on H4 (and not working on EAD) also remains in vaild status.
So there should not be any reason to worry, however, as suggested by "kshitijnt" better to get in touch with USCIS and let them do corrective action as required.
Please post your experience afterwards.

Some of the salient points concerning legal immigrants in the CIR bill in its current form:
1. Bingaman amendment caps the EB green cards at 650,000 which includes derivatives like spouses.
Comments: Previously we had 290,000 for EB green cards, but we also did not have the increased number of H1Bs and the new guest worker category H2C which is around 200,000 every year and soon they will be eligible to apply for the EB green cards which essentially increases the number of people eligible to file every year. not sure when H2C workers are eligible to file for green cards. I think H2C applicants for green cards are exempt from cap till 2009 (Pls correct me if I am wrong). Can expect a significant relief from STEM applicants. Don't know about the cap for Family based applicants
2. STEM applicants exempt from cap even if they have not been working in exactly the same discipline as their STEM master�s degree.
Comments: It is VERY essential that this part of the bill be preserved in the upcoming debates for the final version since one significant relief from derivatives being exempted has been removed thanks to Sen. Bingaman. Don't know how the derivatives of STEM applicants are going to be considered.
3. No hard limit on countries. Soft cap protects visa numbers from being wasted by their downward flow.
Comments: This is definitely going in the right direction but I still feel the exemption of derivatives and STEM provided the biggest break for EB based applicants
4. File I 485 even if priority date is not current.
Comments: Provides relief where spouses can't work and can start using AC21 provisions.
Looking at the above provisions point #2 is very important to all EB categories because this is the one that provides most relief from the cap of 650,000. If anyone would like to add to these comments pls do so.... I might have analyzed certain provisions incorrectly.
And finally congratulations to all volunteers and contributors to IV for a job well done!

As per suggestion by members of the forum, I am planning on using a good attorney to file my appeal.
The new attorney for my company is 'Law Offices of Slowik & Robinson LLC' (http://www.s-r-law.com/) based in Columbus, OH and is supposedly very reputable and well known.
If you guys have heard of them or know about them, please drop a few lines here. This will help me make a decision as to stay with the new company attorney or go to much bigger firms like Murthy LLC.
Thanks.
Regardless of the attorney you employ, it is important to ensure you are completely clued in and has visibility into the process. Its even more important in the situation you are in.
You should be completely versed with your case, options available, reperucssions.. everything. Only then you can have meaningful conversation with attorney about your concerns.
It is very difficult with para legals not providing timely information, neverthless you should look for firm that treats clilents with respect.

it dont just sound like you have dust on your sensor. you do have dust on your sensor. at this point you have 3 options. you can do what nikon and canon recomend and blow the dust out with a blower bulb at wich point your head may explode from the frustration of NOT getting the dust of since it clings to it through static charge. the next and most stress free way to do it is to find a local camera shop that will clean it for you (not all will do this for you however). the service is available here in okc for 85 smakaronies. The should use a stero scope to get down there and get every piece of dust off so that your sensor will be back to the original shape absolutely no dust. or you can be brave and make a small investment on ecipse cleaning solution and cleaning swabbs. the solution is streakless after it dries. also get a special set of cleaning brushes that you can swipe across the sensor without scratching the sensor. as i said the method i recomend is paying the mola to have someone else do it as when i tried to clean my sensor i was so nervouse i just did not trust myself to do a good job.

my 140 was approved a week and a half back ..and i asked my attorney ..if my date was successfully ported..and he is refusing to divulge the information and telling me to contact my company..
1.) i know 140 is a employers prerogative and all that jazz..but should i not get a copy..or at least some basic information?
2.) Am i wrong is even asking for that information?
Pointlesswait,
Is I-140 approval and date porting done concurrently? my attorney told me that old priority date can be ported only when new I-140 is approved, we have to file an application to port date seperately. Correct me if i am wrong OR my attorney is just trying to drag it longer.
Thanks.
