I came across this forum a couple of days back and decided to do start on what I can do best. I may be somewhat naive in my thinking, but it is better to take initiative and make mistakes instead of waiting. Please do give your honest feedback and opinion.
Forums are designed for discussion, however we need to also focus on implementation. For that, we need to put the right communication tools in place to disseminate information, such as wikis, egroups, and calendars.
We need a somewhat structured organization of ideas, discussions, questions, projects and other things.This will allow us to handle more people gracefully (scale), allow people who have volunteered time to work on projects, allow discussions for those who want to discuss.
I have gone ahead and done the following (I do not intend to step on anyone's toes) :
1. Registered immigrationvoice.net and used Google Apps to provide email, calendar, and docs services.
2. Installed a wiki at http://ivwiki.com
3. Google groups for NJ IV: http://groups.google.com/group/njiv
I am in the NJ area (Edison) and would like to host a meeting this weekend (or the next) to exchange ideas and come up with some concrete (next) steps to take. I have space to host up to 20 people. If you are in NJ, we should talk. Please contact me via email: inc.idler@gmail.com or join the NJ IV group at http://groups.google.com/group/njiv and respond to my post.
Best,
Idler.

The Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) provides for the admission of different classes of nonimmigrants who are foreign nationals seeking temporary admission to the United States. The purpose of the nonimmigrant�s intended stay in the United States determines his or her proper nonimmigrant classification. Some classifications permit the nonimmigrant�s spouse and qualifying children to accompany the nonimmigrant to the United States or to join the nonimmigrant here. To qualify, a child must be unmarried and under the age of 21.
F-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(F) of the Act, are foreign students coming to the United States to pursue a full course of academic study in SEVP-approved schools. An F-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an F-1 student.
M-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(M) of the Act, are foreign nationals pursuing a full course of study at an SEVP-approved vocational or other recognized nonacademic institution (other than in language training programs) in the United States. An M-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an M-1 student.
SEVP is the DHS program that administers SEVIS. It ensures that government agencies have essential data related to nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors to preserve national security. SEVP provides approval and oversight to schools authorized to enroll F and M nonimmigrant students and gives guidance to both schools and students about the requirements for maintenance of their status.
ICE SEVP I-17 FAQs provide information for schools about SEVP certification, including background on SEVP and SEVIS, SEVP certification basics, an overview of the SEVP certification process, preparing the petition for SEVP certification, and preparing for a site visit.

I am on L2 since my husband is on L1. I work full time for a US employer with an EAD. Now, what would happen to my status if my husband quits his job?
What is going to be his new status? If it is not L1, then your L2 status is gone as well.

I came across this article on Murthy.com and got lil nervous.
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_hombus.html
I am currently on H1b applied for 485, LC Cleared, I140 Cleared.
I work for a company X but own another consulting company and I am a passive partner with a share of 49%. Another friend of mine who is also in the same boat as I am is another partner with 49% stake. My Sister who is a Green Card holder has 2% Stake and is an active partner.
I have not taken a single penny from the company in the last 2yrs we formed the company and we file a K1 every year. Even though the company makes profits/loss we are not taking the profit nor writing off the losses from our individual taxes, However both of us (I and my friend who are passive partners) end up doing most of the work such as
1. Signing the bank checks
2. Signing the USCIS documents for employees who are working for our company.(for I129, etc etc)
Does this mean that I am a clear candidate to be on INS Red alert/Radar?
I know that an H1b holder can have a company on H1B and cannot work for that company part time/full time precisely what I have been doing since I have never taken a pay check from the company however I never thought that this could have implications on the 485 approval.
Can some one answer my question. I guess I am more looking at some one like UnitedNations to answer.

Are there people who are current now, who have no Priority Date mentioned on the I-485, EAD and AP receipts? (i.e. the PD box is blank)
The priority date is shown on my I-140 receipt, but not on the aforementioned documents.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem? Thanks much.

To all IV members and the core team:
Thanks a bunch for mobilizing members to get their voices heard - first at the historic San Jose rally of high-skilled legal immigrants, and now with this monumental effort in DC on September 18th.
Thanks to all your efforts (myself included), we were able to file for Adjustment of Status (AOS), EAD and AP in July, and had the extension till August 17th to file it for those of us who couldn't do it sooner.
Thanks also to the lawmaker(s), and others who voiced their opinions and drew attention to the plight of highly educated, skilled, tax-paying, brilliant, and entrepreneurial folks, waiting for their GCs for as long as a decade.
We finally received our EADs yesterday, and our APs have been approved (awaiting notices).
The road from here to finally becoming permanent residents and perhaps eventually citizens of this great country (for those of us who wish to) is a long, winding one, full of tricky situations, significant risks, and the inevitable delays by the agencies concerned.
We all need to collectively make our voices heard, tell the lawmakers, the media, and the world about our lives that we continue living in limbo, and will be forced to do so for a long long time if we don't act.
I WILL ENTHUSIASTICALLY JOIN THE DC RALLY NEXT WEEK.

Why would you even consider this at this point. After 8/17, everyone will be U, so who knows when you get to even file if you wait. You want to tack on 6months to your wait (and thats being generous), and them pay more money?

Anyone have any answers?
Hi,
I have a friend in India who applied to a new H1B through a consultant, was lucky to get through the lottery but is now stuck in RFE because of issues with the consultant. He heard from someone else that the same consultant is getting rejects and is nervous that his case will get rejected too.
I've heard that while a H1B case is pending (before it is denied), one can apply a separate petition from another employer and is still considered a valid application that is within the quota as it is for the same applicant.
Does anyone have experience in this area? What do you recommend? I also plan to contact an attorney regarding this to help my friend.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. But I guess I didnt frame my query properly. What I intended to ask was if the couple going to be married on a date x can fill up the forms online before wedding for an appointment on a date after their wedding?
Thanks again!
You can fillup forms online before wedding date but appointment date should fall after your wedding date.

Hi,
There are some changes in applying for US visa from canada.
Please read this article, talk or find someone who recently tried it, make sure there are no issues and then plan your travel.
MurthyDotCom : Change in Procedures to Apply for a U.S. Visa in Canada (http://murthy.com/news/n_chacan.html)
There is a change in the procedure for applying for a visa at a U.S. consulate in Canada, which went into effect September 1, 2010. As many MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers apply for U.S. visas in Canada, this information should help them to plan appropriately.
New Appointment System
To schedule a visa appointment in Canada, applicants must use CSC Visa Information Services to apply for a U.S. visa at a U.S. consulate in Canada. There are no surcharges for phone calls or access to the appointment service. There are standard visa issuance fees, of course, which are charged by the U.S. Department of State (DOS).

Me and my wife received our EADs and our H1/H4 is valid till 2010.
My wife is attending school being on H4. Since she has EAD, can she work part time(not in school) and keep the H4 status valid.
Please suggest.
Yes, She can work using EAD part time or fulltime. But if she uses EAD, the H4gets invalidated automatically, She should keep renewing the EAD / AP.
Why you want to have the H4 status valid ??
