As we watch the earthquake destruction in Haiti with horror, one group of individuals that will likely start to get attention is the population of Haitians currently in the US and who are obviously not going to be able to safely return home anytime soon. US immigration law actually has a system to handle precisely this situation. It's called Temporary Protected Status and it is available to individuals who are from country suffering armed conflicts, disasters, or other extraordinary conditions. The Secretary of Homeland Security is empowered to determine which countries are on the TPS list. People in TPS status...

A2k2,
Did they ask you to provide I693(Medical) and I684(Affidavit of Support) during your last interview? I believed I had submitted I693 when I applied I485 and I684 is for family-based immigration. Is this right?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I totally agree with you. I hope date will move fast now since there is not enough people in 2002-2003. I hope this will be same for India and china too. Let`s hope for the best.
On contrary most of India - China are before Aug 2003 as of results of poll now!

Hi Guys,
I have an appeal Pending with AAO for a denied I140 EB3 India 2004, If I withdraw my appeal and refile I140 I know I will loose pending I485 application. but will have ability to extend my h1 in november showing the refiled I140?
Recently went through the following info....don't know if it helps you or not....
USCIS Policy on Refiling of I-140 Petition Pending AAO Appeal
The AILA-USCIS Service Center Operations Office Liaison minute indicates that the USCIS will allow the employers to refile I-140 petition when the denial of I-140 has been appealed and pending before the AAO. However, such refiled I-140 petition will be held in abeyance pending the decision of the AAO for the appealed I-140 petition. It advises that in order to seek the adjudication of the refiled I-140 petition, the employer must withdraw the pending AAO appeal. However, people must understand that such decision should not be made too lightly in that there are a lot of benefits attached to the pending AAO appeal, which will be wiped out once the appeal is withdrawn. Such benefits include AC-21 extension of H-1B nonimmigrant status even beyond the six-year limit. Besides, pending the appeal, the USCIS decision of denial is considered "not final," and there are a number of benefits attached to the situation when the denial is considered not final.

I just received an email from USCIS saying that my I-140 has been denied. I touched base with the attorney & she has not yet received any documentation from USCIS. This has been the 1st change in my status since Aug 07. My case is pending at TSC.
Does anyone know if this is a fairly common occurance for USCIS to deny I-140 without an RFE? Any advise on what to do next?
Thanks.
140 can be denied for various reasons. These days, 140 is getting denied for Ability to pay or educational qualifications and job description mismatch and so many other things.
Unless you get the letter in hand, you may not be able to know the reason for denial. 140 denial goes to employer and Attorney. So contact them and they will know.

Hello,
I am from India. My employer had applied for PERM EB2 labor while my old EB3 labor was still pending. My EB3 labor, with priority date of MAR 2005, was approved before July fiasco and I was able to apply for 485/EAD/AP/etc.
Last August (2007), my PERM labor was approved too; I had the chance to file a new I140 and request interfiling with my existing 485 application. But my lawyer suggested me not file a new I140 and we let the approved EB2 labor expire.
Now, I am having second thoughts, as I did then. Is there any way I can use the old expired labor (> 180 days after approval). I know I cannot use it directly to file I140, but are there any ancillary benefits of having an approved, albeit expired labor? I am thinking of either checking with my employer if they can file a new EB2 PERM labor if I qualify, or switching my jobs.
Thanks.

Please help me out here.
I filed I-140 in EB2 category on September 30, 2005 at Vermont service center. I also filed I-1485 concurrently with I-140 and fingerprinted in December 2005. My I-140 was approved in June 2006. But I-1485 is still pending due to retrogression/non-availability of visa numbers to Indian nationals in EB2 category.
To avoid the retrogression in EB2 category I filed another I-140 in EB1 (since visa number is available in this category for Indian nationals) on May 1, 2006 at Texas service center (due to bi-specialization). This I-140 was approved in August 2006.
I have following questions regarding my case:
1) Can I use the I-485, which was concurrently filed with EB2 I-140 and link it with EB1 I-140.
a. If yes, where do I file my request since I-485 is pending in Vermont and EB1 I-140 is approved by Texas?
b. If no, is there any other alternative to use the EB1 I-140 priority dates?
Thanks!

Hi people here,
I need your help.
My company, a consulting firm, received an intent to deny notice for my labor application. (They received it in 1st week of may and a** telling me now. Needs to be replied by Jun 1st)
The lawyer and HR tell me that I have to get letters from my managers at my different clients explaining why they needed BS + 5 years of experience for the position and why they need certain set of skills.
If anybody has experience in dealing with such notice, please give me your inputs. How do you justify a need of 5 years experience in tangible and intangible terms?
TIA.

First of all you need atleast one pay check from yr current employer for h1b transfer and since yr change of status is not approved yet I guess you can't work for yr employer and you won't be getting paid. I guess the best thing for you is apply for change of status for current employer, get it approved, work for the same employer for atleast a month and then apply for h1b transfer. Hope this helps.

Apparently, FP and approvals go in parallel. Checked my case status online, and all 3 of our cases got approved today. The status was set to Decision. I guess it won't go to card production until my wife's FP is done, or maybe my daughter and I will get the card before my wife. Waiting for the snail mail to confirm, seems like an anticlimax after waiting for so many years.

Hi,
I am Us citizen and sent a request letter with my Mom to US Embassy in Armenia to kindly grant my Mom a tourist visa to visit me and my new born son. 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.
I think a good Attorney can draft a letter to the consulate explaining the waiver.
Don't we all agree that these agencies actually need lawyers and not us?
