Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer Has Just Posted the Following:
For the second time, a federal judge has declared a Farmers Branch ordinance banning illegal immigrants from renting in the city to be unconstitutional. Here are excerpts from a Dallas Morning News (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/DN-FBsuit_25met.ART.Central.Edition1.4c77c2c.html) article reporting this decision:
U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle of Dallas ruled Wednesday that the ordinance was an attempt to enforce U.S. immigration laws – something the judge said only the federal government can do.
The judge also issued a permanent injunction to stop Farmers Branch from enforcing Ordinance 2952.
Mayor Tim O'Hare, the driving force behind the ordinances, said he wants to appeal.
"The American people are tired of judges legislating from the bench," he said. "This decision is not unexpected but welcomed, because it allows us to get closer to this ordinance becoming reality."
But O'Hare said the City Council would have to vote on whether to continue a fight that has cost the city nearly $3.2 million since September 2006. And the city may need to spend an additional $623,000 in legal fees in the year ahead, city finance director Charles Cox said Wednesday.
About one-quarter of the estimated 30,000 people who live in Farmers Branch were born outside the United States. About 47 percent of the city's population is Hispanic.
In the past four years, the city has proposed a series of ordinances that would make it illegal for landlords to rent to illegal immigrants. A version approved by the council in 2006 was repealed in early 2007 to make way for another ordinance.
That ordinance, No. 2903, was approved by two-thirds of voters in 2007 but later declared unconstitutional by U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay. The city abandoned an appeal of that ordinance in favor of Ordinance 2952. No. 2952 added all rental units, including houses, to the ban on renting to illegal immigrants.

I have been looking topics like this one. Does anybody know if H-1 H-4 can apply for financial aid? does it come up during GC process as goverment aid and therefore could put you GC approval in danger of being rejected? I read somewhere a list of federal help we can use and be OK. Does someone know where to find info?. I have a daighter H-4 who starts college this year. She qualifies for in state tuiton. Does this affect her GC process? You never know when issues like this will surface along your process. I don't want to make any mistakes. Is someone in similar situation?

Depending on your state of residence this may not be enforceable on the part of vendor "y" as this is restricting flow of labor. Find out what the labor law says about such situation in your state.
Also since vendor "y" is not your employer such a restriciton may not apply anywhere!

Case received and Pending is a usual status when case is pending.
Sometimes status still remains pending even after case is processed. Also it doesn't mean that you should receive approval since your processing date is with in normal processing time, it may take one or two months more too.

Hello,
I have previously contacted an attorney from NY which has been very successful with O-1 visa applications. He has helped two people I know and apparently has a 100% success rate (I suppose that could come from only choosing cases he's sure will go through). This attorney has reviewed my CV and stated I certainly qualify for the O-1 visa. This guy is also very expensive.
My employer is willing to pay for all visa expenses, as long as it's through their own law firm (which charges about $5000 less than the NY guy). So my question is: as long as the CV is strong, is it possible an attorney could screw up the application, by not preparing it very well? Basically, I am trying to decided whether I should suggest to my employer eating up the cost difference so that I can work with the guy from NY.
Any advice welcome.
Thanks!

Nice work, Josh. Congrats on the new toys!
One bit of constructive critisism though...you need more DOF on the strawberry, IMO. :)

I think we must also emphasise the point that all of us have to pass strict labor market tests supervised by DOL to be even eligible for green cards (and many of us have already passed that). That will blunt the rhetoric from the anti-immigrants and their attempts to obfuscate our issue with the illegal aliens. The tend to make americans believe that applying for a green card is just like applying for a drivers license and just about anyone is eligible.
The only other thing I think should be stressed is that we are already H1-b holders, already applied for green cards, so not taking any more jobs away from USCs. All we are asking for is expedited processing of our already filed applications.
Then Numbersusa or other anti-immigration groups have no points to raise against us

Thank you Solaris.
But what I need is the Employer Offer letter to me. They gave me a letter with some 3 lines saying my job title, Salary and start date. It does not include the Job responsibilities. It does not even say the word "Full Time". When I asked them they said that is their standard format.
Do you have format that I can use. I want to send them and insist that I get the letter in that format.

Isnt the three year extension valid only if you cannot file your I-485 because of retrogression? Once you file your 485, you get only a year?

Hi,
I was working with company A since June to Dec 07. and Now I got offer with company B which they are filing my H1 transfer.
but i dont have the last 2 months (Nov & Dec) paystubs from company A (have paystubs from June to Oct). because my employer dont give the latest 2 months paystub but i have proof of Bank Acccount mentioning the payroll information in bank account for month of Nov & Dec 07.
So does the Bank Account statement will be valid for H1 transfer ?
Please reply me ASAP.

Does your RFE for paystubs have any time-bound constraint on it? Meaning, do you have to respond within certain period of time, or can you take indefinite time in responding.
The reason I am asking is because there can be different solutions for these two different scenarios.

Thanx nk2
There should be no problem. I have gone there before and going again now next week for H1 stamping and plan to take my personal car. I have Canadian PR though, but I don't think it should matter.
