Thanks for the effort. Obviously it is not their interest to release the data, that's why we need to figure out a way to force them to discose such data. I think it's possible to get a court order to request such data.
It takes years and months to get a request fulfilled under FOIA. In this administration, run of the mill govt agencies have been given even more latitude in fulfilling FOIA requests -- forget about the DOS and its response to FOIA requests. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear -- even other agencies within the government who don't need FOIA are unable to make this happen. Do see the magnitude of the problem?
The only way to break the logjam is through political pressure.
Again, I'd say, please don't assume the IV people who have been working on these issues are naive or lack information. ;-)

I would like to think that there are lots of members who are interested in participating in campaigns like this. I participate in most of IV campaigns and have sent flowers and called all reps for 5882. This is a campaign that I would be interested in participating in. If you are going to chat about this on IV chat (which many members cannot access because of restrictions), then please post the transcript and summary here so that we can at least understand the viewpoints of the participants and the action plan.

Hi Friends - I work at a university and have been with them for 4 years. My boss plans on giving my a 10-12% mid-year pay increase. But our HR says that H1 workers are not eligible for mid-year pay hikes..?? IS THAT TRUE.?
Is there a INS rule that somebody can point me to which i can forward to my boss/HR which mentions that there is no pay increase issue with H1 visa holders..I searched on USCIS, DOL, etc..cannot find anything.
Can somebody please help!
Thanks in advace.!
What your HR seems to suggest it is not logical,USCIS erstwhile INS do not dicate HR polices.This seems more like your univertisty's supposed HR policy or HR peron not literate about the immgration rules and regulation. As many have suggested i have not come across any instance what you mentioned. My spouse is on h1 with a very big company and he has been getting hikes every year in acceptable ranges what was menioned in his offer letter. Some are in mid year based on performance of the tasks he carried out succesfully.

Can some one reply my following questions about Advance parole
Hi
I am trying to file Paper based Advance Parole ( I-131) for me and my family.
I have few questions regarding process and forms. Appriciate your hlep with those.
(1) I Last enetered as F-1. My F-1 visa stamp has expired. I currently have H-1B approved but never stamped on my passport. My I-140 approved and I-485 pending.
On form I-131 in section 3. "Class of admission" what I should write " F-1 "or "H-1B"?
(2) If I check on "More than One trip" in Part-7 section -1 of the form, does the process differ in any way? Does it need any extra fee? Does it need any extra document to support the multiple entry AP application? Will it affect approval in any way? How long (one yr two year?) is AP, once it is approved, is valid?
(3) I never had applied for EAD based on pending I-485 and does not intend to do so in near future.
Does I need to apply for EAD to get AP? and in Cover letter for my AP do I need to mention EAD or it is not required?
(4) For my sons ( 15 yrs age) can I sign as a person preparing form?
thanks for your help with AP application.
(5) Where can we get appropriat photos for I-131. I went to Wallgreen and CVS but both told they all have digital photographs only. Also they also dont take side view they all take frontal view? so where can we get approriate photos for I-131 (Advance Parole)
Can some experienced members can answer above questions about my Son's Advance Parole Application, Photos for AP application and EAD card in relation to AP application.
Appreciate your help

Is not weired funny dicriminatvie while 2003/2004 already gor GC while April2001 are waiting for approval.
You do not think there should be once a year declaration for clared date upto so n so not a single file is pending.
Why April2001 has to wait for 8(eight!) years
I feel your pain. Here is my advice. Talk to your local Senator. I have been in contact with my local senator since Nov 2008. Finally, i got my I485 approved on 10th Feb, yet to receive cards though.
My senator, the longest serving in the senate history, contacted at least 3 times with USCIS, as recent as Jan 28th. So just take their help, dont even hesitate.

Almond I agree with you completely...I am not against questions being asked or answering questions...This community has been helpful to me in the past and I would be more than welcome to lend support....but a little effort would'nt harm....
There is a saying "SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND...." No matter how old the information its always possible to dig it out...not only using this forumn search but also google search....I just hope people try and seek before ..that's all

You should apply for a SSN. If you find a job, the employer will ask you to fill-up a W4 Form. To set you up in company payroll, SSN would be a requirement.
Also, as some other people have mentioned, even if you don't plan to work, you should still get a SSN to establish your credit history.
Applying for a SSN and getting it and has NO impact on your immigration status.

Hi All
I have a question regarding visitors visa, my parents got multiple Entry 10 years visa in 2007, but have not visited me so far, but this december my Mom is visitng me and in Feb my father( as to avoid harsh winter weather in East Coast), they will leave back in May 2009.
My Question is will there be any issue as their visa was issued in 2007 but they are visiting now
Do I need to send any new documents( I have moved onto EAD )
Looking forward to hear suggestions.
Absolutely no issues in visit date and visa received date, my parents came here in 2006 but got their visas in 2003, no questions were asked about delay. But at POE they did ask for return tickets photocopy or print out.

I had a similar experience. Four weeks after my I-140 was approved, I had another LUD and when I checked the online status, it had the same message that you mentioned. When I asked my lawyer, he told me that it ususally means that the employer has received a copy of the approval as well. And sure enough, 3 days later, I found out from HR that they received the I-140 approval letter and they wanted to know what to do with it.
Does this mean both the employer and employee get their separate copies of I-140? I assumed only the employer/lawyer gets to have the actual I-140 approval.

Hi All,
Can some one advice whether I can qualify for EB-2 Category?
I am a Chartered Accountant from India with 10 years of Post Qualification Experience.
I am currently working on H1B since last 1 year and working as System Consltant for last 4 years.
I do not have any other master degree like M. Com / M.Sc etc.
Would I qualify for EB-2 Category ?
Regards
I am a Chartered Accountant myself with a B. Com and a three year law degree and over 15 years experience but despite a clear reference in the transcript that the CA degree is equivalent to a master's degree and one would qualify to enroll for PHD with a CA degree, my lawyer advised against filing in EB2 and so my GC process is under EB3 category. I also had the evaluation stating that the Chartered Accountancy degree is equivalent to a master's degree.
I would strongly recommend that you should consider filing in EB2 category. But the lawyer has to be comfortable with the filing and theirs must be a reputed law firm as it carries tremendous weight.
But, unfortunately whether you file in EB2 or EB3 it's gonna be a long long wait!!!
Good luck!

I brought toyota camry from a dealer in NY state last year feb/2010 on (toyota) finance, the dealer only asked me for my driver lience and ssn. he took copy of driver licence and ssn. nothing ask or talk about my immigration status etc, etc...
looking at me my friend (working with me) brought brand new toyota camry same month feb/2010 from PA dealer with 0% apr for 5 yrs. he also shown and given photo copy his driver licence and ssn.
myself and my friend both are on h1b visa.
this could be possibly happen because of private financing (toyota finance) not bank...

In our next rally (hopefully soon) we should all carry placards, but they should read only ONE strong message, along the lines of:
"WE ARE ALREADY LEGAL AND HIGHLY-SKILLED IMMIGRANTS, STOP LUMPING US WITH ILLEGALS AND END THE 10-YEAR GREEN CARD WAITS"
but shorter and more catching
WE MUST EDUCATE PEOPLE AND CONGRESS!!!! ENOUGH WITH THEIR APATHY IN GETTING TO KNOW WHO WE REALLY ARE!

Saurin,
Assuming that your I-140 has been approved and your I-485 has been pending for more than 180 days, you're GC should be approved as long as you can demonstrate that you have a bonafide offer of permanent, full time employment in the "same or similar occupation" at the time your I-485 is finally adjudicated. Note that the requirement is prospective. Where, or if, you are employed prior to the final adjudication of your I-485 is relevant only to the extent that it is one way to establish the bona fide nature of your intent to accept or continue employment in the required occupation.

Another bizzare behaviour with Renewal of Efile EAD....
My 2 cents is just send them what they need....they have specifically asked us not to send photos when e-filling and now they raise an RFE coz u did not send photos...
God come down to earth and save us from this atrocity....

Hi All
I am very confused with the entire Green Card process. Any help will be much appreciated. I will give a background.
I have an experience of almost 6 years and work in an reputed Indian IT firm on H1B for a US bank. I am working in US on H1B for past 4 years. My wife is doing an MBA from a reputed US university on H4 visa.
What Employment Based Green Card category am I eligible for? How long does it take to get EAD approval from the beginning of the process? Can my wife work only after the EAD is approved?
Regards

Please explain how you have worked in Illinios for XYZ company( my GC sponsoring Company) living in MN,WA and TX.
This was one line description I got as RFE on my I-485.
My 140 is approved in Dec 2007. I had 1st RFE on I-485 for pay stubs and other things. This is the second RFE. I will consult good attorney. Any advise is helpful.
Also I entered US on AP and I started my own company few months back. I am still working for GC sponsoring company. If by my bad luck my 485 gets denied..what are my options? Also I have my H1 petition valid till May 2012 but I don't have it stamped. Do I need to leave the country and get it stamped?
