SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security is giving notice that it proposes to consolidate
three legacy record systems: Justice/INS-013 INS Computer Linked
Application Information Management System (CLAIMS) (67 FR 64132 October 17, 2002), Justice/INS-031 Redesigned Naturalization Application Casework System (RNACS) (67 FR 20996 April 29, 2002), and Justice/INS-033 I-551 Renewal Program Temporary Sticker Issuance I-90 Manifest System (SIIMS) (66 FR 6673 January 22, 2001) into one Department of Homeland Security/United States Citizenship and Immigration Services system of records notice titled, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Benefits Information System. Categories of individuals, categories of records, and the routine uses of these legacy system of records notices have been consolidated and updated to better reflect the Department's immigration petition and application information record systems.

My H1B expired in April 2008. My company is not willing to extend H1B any more due to the reason that I got EAD and I-140 approved and pending 485. Is it possible to get H1B extension from current or future company based on approved I-140? Or Is it too late?
You might wondering why do I need H1B now. I am not sure why I need H1B. Some of my friends who had trouble in their I-140/485 were able to survive with H1B. So, it looks like it is better to have dual. H1B and EAD.
Please advise.

I joined dphoto because I wanted to get more use out of my digital camera. I figure that if I can learn to take better pictures, then I will have more fun.
I searched through my favorite pictures and selected these for my first gallery pics. What do you think?

Please appply EAD renewal in 120 days advance. You will get in time. :)
My lawyer said I can work up to 3 months with receipt provided it was applied at least 90 days before expiry...
I think its good to call USCIS directly and confirm.. Most of us will be in same boat sooner or later...
This applies for renewal cases only.. not for first time EAD (actual card needed)

How about using AP to enter if you have AP ? Is that also a problem for employees of TARP companies ?

Employer A:
-Currently on their H1 (6th year fag end) and with an ongoing 485 proces 180 days passed.
-Employer A is threatening to withdraw the I 140 if I move out from their company.
Employer B:
-Fortune Client where am currently working as a contractor
-B is filing my H1 and would be offering me to use H1 or AC 21 to port to their company.
I am transferring to company B upon H1 extension approval and then later use AC 21 when ever required.
However, before I use AC 21, if the I 140 is revoked, am I still eligible to use AC 21?
Does revoking I 140 by the employer after I 140 approval has any effect if I dont use AC 21 prior to revoking?
If you have your 140 approved, then if Emp A withdraws may not cause any damage, but if your 140 is not approved and if Emp A withdraws it, certainly cause a big damage.

My lawyer have said that I need to submit last year's tax return.
USCIS can ask for previous tax return any time. you maynot have tofile now but better to clean that. refile 1040X and pay the taxes and interst. you will be fine. IRS is good if you accept your mistake instead of catching you later.

I am a July 2nd filer with a priority date of July29,2004 (EB2-I). I did not receive biometric appointment so far. I had a infopass appointment today, and the immigration officer checked the system and generated the FP appointment and I went straight to ASC after Infopass and got my FP done. Officer also confirmed that my name check is cleared last month but had no idea why my file is not assigned to an Immigration officer. She said there are no apparent issues that she can see in the system with my application and she opened a SR for them to look in to my file.

Hello all,
I had a question: My and my wife's 485 ND is august 27 from TSC. We haven't got any FP notice yet.
Is anyone in a similar situation? data indicates that most of the august notice dates applicants have already got their FP appointments. I am from NJ so newark must be my ASC.
Should I call USCIS or wait?
Any suggestions are welcomed...
Thanks.
Dear Apahilaj:
You may wait till the end of this week and then call the USCIS. The FP notices may be on the way.
I also have a question for you: Did you submit your 485 applications directly to the Texas Service Center Or Nebraska, and on which date?
I have sent mine to TSC directly on July 24, 2007, and have received nothing; no checks are cleared, either, till today. Thanks.

Guys,
I want to sue them for 3 things -
1) Touching I-140 cases way outside processing times (eg. 2008 when the date is July, 2007)
2) Approving 2008 cases before 2007, ie., no FIFO
3) Discrimination against EB3 cases during I-140 stage. I-140 case processing should be independent of Eb category, I have not read any rule where it should be.
You cannot sue them for any of the above.
1) Most people do not understand the processing date concept. If the date says July 2007, then it is a guideline saying most of the cases before that date have already been processed. It does not mean that they will *not* process cases later than that date.
2) FIFO? If they had not dropped Eb3 cases and focussed on EB2 140s, then a lot of approvable 485s would not have been approved this year, resulting in unused visa numbers. So they made that choice. It is a temporary situation due to the huge backlog of 2007.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have signed all the forms and included all the documents. Wrote a cover letter listing all the documents in the packet(like Affidavits, W2's, Passport copy etc.), but in a hurry forgot to sign the cover letter.

Very similar issue happened with my relative just a couple of months ago.
Her I-140 was denied and H1-B expired in January 2009. There was nothing she could do. The company refused to extend H1-B based on the old labor and applied for a new labor instead. The issue with her I-140 was an incorrectly filed labor under EB2 instead of EB3.
Now she quickly moved to B1 (Visitor visa) on the suggestion of her lawyer to maintain status.
Since you have the option of renewing your H1-B, that is probably the best thing to do. Good luck to you :)

The work you do in your OPT must be in your field of studies. You are likely violating immigration rules during your OPT period as well unless your degree was in secretarial work or real estate (I do not know of any such degree ...)

Hi,
My client is a TARP fund received bank.I am planning to go India for 3 weeks in may.My visa expires in Aug09.
I have new H1 extension for 3 years.
--If I go for visa stamping will it be a problem as I am workig for TARP received bank.
--If I don't go for visa stamping and planning to comeback with old visa, will it be a problem at Port Of Entry as my client is TARP received bank and I am on H1B.
Here is a link to the 'official' USCIS requirements. A poster in the morning put it up but unfortunately it did not get the attention it deserved.

What I have mostly heard is that people in consulting jobs are the ones who are having issues at POEs and not the ones in permanent/full-time positions...I am not making a statement here but saying this is what I heard and read.
Even working in IBM become something like a consulting job due to their change in business model. So how would the POE determine that somebody who's a "permanent" (is there such a thing in today's economy) employee is not actually into "consulting". Hey even McK guys are "consultants". I think the word you might be looking for is "salaried" employees.
