Hi, there is nothin' to be confused about. There are many many student here who cant speak English well, in fact, most of my spanish/latinos/germans friends have issues taking classes here but they manage so why cant my friend !! Her spoken English is fair but when it comes to writing she really has to work hard on it..anyways, as for her Aunt:
-The affidavit that her aunt signed along with her bank stmts attached had two parts. The first one only asked the sponsor to check whether he/she will fully support or partially and the second part said, 'if you're a US citizen fill out the part below' and my friend's aunt DID NOT fill that part out or claimed to be a US citizen. She also knows that she is illegal here and she cannot LIE about being legal.

When I did it in Delhi at US embassy there was an officer at the embassy counter just before entering into the embassy when you are at the line outside with your papers, he checks your documents. For me he checked my papers and wrote on them " PIMS found". After that i went into the embassy to get into the another line to talk to officer inside.
Though it was 3 years back I am not sure if its done the same way now also.

Just ensure that they will be able to document enough ties back home for officer to feel comfortable that they would return. From your side, provide evidence that you can afford their stay. Barring that, I see no reason why going separately or together would make a difference.

Hello all,
If my GC is approved, is my employer bound by obligation he gave to USCIS when he filed I140 petition?
I mean, in I140 employer explicitly stated my future wage, it is 20% higher then wage I am getting from him while I am on H1B.
Say, my GC is approved and employer refuses to raise my wage to match the amount given in I140. Is there any way to make him stick to this obligation? Like, complaining to DOL, or where else? And if I complain, can it affect validity of my GC?
The problem is after GC I have to stay with this employer for another 6 months to avoid possible complications in future applying for citizenship. If I just quit and take another job - that will make a possible problem in the future; but if he lays me off, then I am fine. But he does not want to lay me off, and does not want to keep his promise. Any ideas?
If he lets you go you have no issues with future naturalization in case you have all your records, termination letter etc. I am unsure about the wages mentioned in your LCA. I think it is mandatory and can be challenged since employer is giving an undertaking that they have the ability to pay the amount mentioned in your LCA/I140.
You need to get good advise if they terminate you immediately after you get your GC will it show some malafide intentions/agreement between you and your employer which was there in place just to secure you a GC.
- cheers

I want all of us to discuss the good things that we do as legal immigrants to America.
Once we come up with all; we can summarise into an article and we can send it to local news papers, so that all the people are educated with what legal immigrants are; and the benifits that we bring to American Society.

I am on F1 visa. I enrolled in one of the university. I don't attend university in person. I do attend classes online from another state. My question is that I am resident of which state ?? Will I be automatically resident of state where exactly my university is ? I know it is mandatory to attend classes in person on F1. Can you please advise ? How is residency considered ?
Thank you very much.

Recently I renewed my Advance Parole (AP), USCIS renewed it for 9 months only. Is it possible to check with USCIS to get a 1 year AP.
Thanks!
You must have applied 120 days in advance or many days in advance before old AP expiry. USCIS issues AP from the date it was approved so you tend to lose some months. I have heard some other members include a cover letter which says AP start date should be from date of expiry of old AP. Since you already got the document, I doubt you can do much about it. You may lose 2-3 months just trying send it back and requesting it to be corrected. I guess next time when you renew keep the cover letter in mind.

As far as I know priority date can ony be transfered when the I-140 is approved. Go ahead and get both I-140 approved and use the earlier date towards the new one at the time of filing of I-485.
Thanks for the reply

Thank you hpandey for the clarification. If I apply H1B extension in premium processing in apr itself, I will know soon if it will go through or not. My plan is to apply H1B transfer immediately to a new employer in case of H1B extension denial from the current employer, as I will still have valid H1B for few more months till Sep 09.
One more doubt I have is whether it will raise a red flag for USCIS, if I apply premium processing in apr 09 for extension from oct 1st 09 or will it be fine. Please let me know.

USCIS has recently published a new fact sheet of common questions and answers for members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Immigration%20Information%20for%20Members%20of%20t he%20U.S.%20Armed%20Forces%20and%20their%20Familie s.pdf) The fact sheet contains the most frequently asked questions that USCIS receives.
The fact sheet is worth reading if you are in the Armed Forces because the answers to some of the questions are different (and usually more advantageous) to members and/or dependents of those in the Armed Forces. For instance, if you are a civilian, obtained your green card through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen and you have been married for less than two years, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f858d59cb7a5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) to remove the conditional residence and obtain your permanent green card. You must file this form even if you intend on applying for citizenship a year later. (Persons who are married to U.S. citizens may apply for citizenship in three years.)
Members of the armed forces do not have to file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence to remove conditional residence obtained through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen, if the foreign born spouse was inducted or enlisted in the military and is applying for naturalization based on qualifying military service. Thus, military personnel are permitted to "skip a step" and do not need to file form I-751.
Additional questions and answers and helpful email addresses to USCIS liaisons are included on the fact sheet.

Hi All,
Please help me to take proper decision.
I am working in US on H1B visa and my employer is ready to file for my GC in EB2.
Secondly, my father is a Green card holder and can apply for citizenship in early 2010. I have following questions:
Please note I am unmarried
1. If my father applies for GC for me under F2B can it be converted to F1 when he becomes citizen? if so, will the priority date be same or it will be new once converted to F1 category.
2. Can I apply for both family based and employment based in parallel? if it is not possible which path should I select? Will the employment based GC will be faster of family based? Its tough to decide in this economic times as we dont know how long our job will last.
Would appreciate your help and suggessions.
Thanks,
Sam

I am in the same state as your's. After talking with Lawyer and after reading lot of forums, i went ahead and submitted with PAR:PAROLEE for both Manner of Last Entry and Current Immigration status.
I am not lawyer :) but that's waht i went with and submitted just yesterday
I am in the same boat. I entered PAR:PAROLEE and my Advance Parole got approved, waiting for EAD approval.

The Office of the Ombudsman is usually best addressed through 'non named' communication. By nature of the profession, Ombudsmen as neutral third parties and hence influence greater effects without direct name association. This is a technicality in the ADR/mediation profession.
For those who'd be more comfortable addressing Mr. , by all means no harm, no foul.
In any case, the Office of the Ombudsman in this can can be a POWERFUL resource because it can enable the Govt and USCIS Officials to take corrective action and place motivation on the Ombudsman instead of themselves. Thats how most bureaucracies work, find the person to pin the tail on and play the game.
