the question is about the type of visa needed to enter canada. I have pending I-485 in US but need visa to go to Canada. I have tourist visa for Canada but was wandering if I need to apply for a diferent visa to visit a client of my company for a few days. The reason of my visit is obviously not tourism...
Does the question make sense?

Hi
My I140 has been denied 2 times. 1st time was in EB3 Professional and 2nd was in EB3 Skilled worker category. I am not sure the reason for the 2nd denial since I am waiting for the notice letter.
I urgently need an attorney who has recently cleared a few cases with 3 year degree (only 3 year degree not combination with Masters / Diploma etc)
If you are someone who has 3 year degree and recently got approval, please IM me your attorney's details.
Thanks

Hi,
I am wondering if anybody had done this before: I want to work part time (20 hrs/week) for 6 months( and no other job). I am on H1 but I also have EAD. So I am wondering if there are any implications to this such as I need to amend my H1b , because of some obscure law my GC process will be affected. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

There is not a dull moment this summer for us immigration lawyers, all thanks to good old USCIS. On 8/6/09 USCIS announced that it has reopened the fiscal year 2009 H-2B petition filing period and will immediately accept petitions. This is after closing the cap in January this year.
How could this happen? The Department of State received far fewer than expected requests for H-2B visas and as a result, has issued only 40,640 H-2B visas for fiscal year 2009 to date. This means that there are approximately 25,000 visas that may go unused, as they have not been granted. Because of the low visa issuance rate, USCIS is reopening the filing period to allow employers to file additional petitions for qualified H-2B temporary foreign nonagricultural workers.
But the catch is that filing and processing must be done by September 30, 2009. So those eligible must use the premium processing to do so. Also, employers must submit the Form I-129 Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker to USCIS with all required documents, including an approved Alien Employment Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor that is valid for the entire employment period stated on the petition. The petitioner must also indicate an employment start date before Oct. 1, 2009. Otherwise the case will be considered for fiscal year 2010.
These are good news for employers in the Hospitality and construction industries, as long as they have approved Labor Certification to be used. My guess is that there are not too many employers that filed for Labor Certifications knowing that visas will not last too long. But this is an indication for the future of the H2B visa and the cap restrictions. We call the government to lift the cap once and for all.

Hi ,
I was on F1 visa till oct 2008 and then a consulting firm file for my H1B . It was approved and my status has been changed . I tired a lot but i didn't get any project and i am on bench till oct 2008 and i am still on there H1B. Although in the mean time i was enrolled in school and never quit the school as i am working on my project in school and i always had valid I20 and valid I94 and F1 stamped on my passport till dec 2011. I am still enrolled in school.
Now my emplyer is saying to file COS and go back to F1, but i don't have paystubs and he is not giving me as he said being a bug company we dont do this.
I talked with a attorney he is filing my COS.
1) is there anyone in the same situation evr ?
1) Is there any other way i can follow?
2) what percent are there chances that my COS will get denied or accepted?
3 ) My employer is still marketing my resume?
Any Suggestions welcome!!
THANKS in advance

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) is seeking public comment on a proposed federal rule (http://www.federalregister.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2010-13991_PI.pdf) that would adjust most fees by 10% for immigration benefit applications and petitions.
USCIS is a fee-based organization with about 90% of its budget coming from fees paid by applicants and petitioners to obtain immigration benefits. The law requires USCIS to conduct fee reviews every two years to determine whether its costs to administer the nation�s immigration laws, process application, and provide the infrastructure needed to support those activities. A fee adjustment, as detailed in the proposed rule, is necessary to ensure that the USCIS recovers the cost of their operations while also meeting the application processing goals identified in the 2007 fee rule.
Members of the public are encouraged to submit comments and/or suggestions to USCIS.
Comments may be submitted through regulations.gov (http://www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/home.html#home). The comment period runs for 45 days, beginning June 11, 2010 and ending July 26, 2010.

Your title doesn't effect your GC processing. It is your wish to accept any designation that you like. This is nothing to do with your GC.

Since the lower background is dark, I think it works well. The blossom really stands out with a feeling of depth, just the right DoF. There are two points on the left (probably sepals from the next blossom?) that are a little distracting to me, but that's a nitpick.

Hi All,
I hold different administrative and accounting responsibilities in my company. My company can't sponsor me as an accountant, because I don't have too much experience.
Are there any other occupation which can fit my responsibilities to get an H1B visa?
Thank you for your help.

I also signed and sent dully filled and signed Affidavit of Support form with all the requested paper work. However, my Mom was denied the tourist visa on the grounds that I did not returned to Armenia in 2000 (8 years Ago) before my J1 Visa expiration.
But I got visa extension befor J1 visa expiration then applied for permanent resident and got my green card).
I did not violate any regulation.
What can I do ? Please Help.

Hi Guys,
Based on other threads on this forum, I see a lot of I-485 approvals(EB2 I) at TSC for receipt numbers starting SRC# and whose PD is current . Just wondering if any one got I-485 approved whose application is a transferred from Vermont(EAC) to TSC?
Please shed some light on this!
Btw, my receipt date is 07/07 (EAC). PD current. Case transferred to TSC with a receipt date of 09/11.
Thanks

I wish that the closest strawberries, which happen to be the brightest ones that draw attention, could be in better focus. Using a smaller aperture would bring more of the berries into focus. Otherwise, I really like the photo. Good job! :cool:

What if you have AP but not used it, instead used the re-validation rule to enter into the country, using H1. Would that invoke abandonment of 485?
The scenario covers people who are working on H1B and have their I-485 pending and have not applied for AP and have a expired H1B visa stamp on their passport. It doesn't matter if they have a H1B extension on hand with a new I-94 stub. If they travel abroad, it could very well be considered as an abandonment although they might be permitted to re-enter under "automatic visa revalidation" rule.
If I've I-485 pending, i would never travel without an AP.
