Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
It's H-1B season and the business immigration attorneys at Fong & Chun are busy once again fielding phone calls and inquiries regarding employment-based visas, including those of L-1 and new company visas. In the past few years, the USCIS and US Department of Labor have suspected newer and small companies of fraud, especially within the immigration system. New procedures and increased scrutiny (http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/2009/04/h1b-quota-still-open.html) of employment-based cases have made H-1B petitions and H-1B visas especially more difficult to attain.
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/Handshake.pngToday's Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703712504576242973187563498.html) ran a story about the very disturbing trend revealed by the Securities and Exchange Commission that small private companies are merging with public shell (dormant) companies instead of going through more rigorous methods of becoming public, avoiding initial public offerings. SEC Commissioner, Luis Aguilar announced that since January 2007, 600 of such "backdoor registrations" occurred and most notably, more than 150 of these occurred in and around China.
It's no secret that the USCIS, as part of the US Department of Homeland Security (USDHS) is engaged in "national security, fraud detection and prevention." The DHS now has an unit attached to it which investigates corporations suspected of defrauding the government specifically through the H-1B program and other visa categories. This has made adjudications of all H-1B applications much more difficult and I believe we will see strict review of all H-1B and work related applications. ---ecf

The House of Representatives on Saturday night passed a sweeping health care bill by a vote of 220-215. In the next few weeks, this bill will be analyzed and there will be various summaries online regarding this important piece of legislation. I would like to focus on the Immigration related matters in the Bill.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus staunchly oppose including a provision that would bar undocumented workers from using their own money to buy health insurance policies available through the exchange.
The measure is already included in the Senate Finance Committee's version of the bill and is backed by the White House. Some conservative House Democrats have also indicated their support for the Senate language.
Several Hispanic Caucus members who discussed the issue with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday said they had received assurances the Senate language would not be included. Rep. Charlie Gonzalez, D-Texas, warned Thursday that several caucus members might try to block the House bill if it's changed to conform to the Senate measure. Pelosi's bill includes various requirements for immigrants to verify their citizenship before getting federal subsidies to buy health insurance. Conservatives, however, have called the requirements insufficient.
We will review the Bill and report on more important points that will be of interest to Immigrants.

Hello,
Last week i received RFE for my wife's father's name. The name on birth certificate is different from school leaving & other docs. I'm trying to get it corrected from Mumbai.

Another issue, i have is i have rented an apartment under my name close to my work in the same state. All my docs have my home address, my question is will it affect my case if they find another address under my name?? I still have official address as my home everywhere...

i hv an approved I-140 thru employer A (my current employer). so i am eligible for 3 yrs H-1B extension. the I-140 was approved more than 6 months ago.
You are only eligible for a 3-year extension (assuming you have less than 3 years left of your initial 6-year stay) if your I-140 is approved AND your priority date is backlogged.
once my H-1B extn is approved for 3 yrs, i want to xfr my H-1B to employer B. in that case, if employer A revokes the I-140, then what happens to my H-1B extn? does that become null and void?
No, but you cannot use that I-140 to get another H-1B extension.
pls. note that I-485 is not filed, so i cannot invoke AC-21.
You are using AC21 for the 3-year extension, just not the 485 portability section of AC21.

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Thousands of Irish citizens living unlawfully in the United States could be legalised in return for more work permits for U.S. citizens lured to Ireland by its thriving economy, an Irish minister said on Wednesday.
"There is clear evidence to support the establishment of some form of bilateral agreement between the U.S. and Irish governments," Labour Minister Tony Killeen said in a statement after he returned from a trip to New York.
Killeen said that, while 30,000 to 40,000 illegal Irish immigrants were living in the United States, two centuries of mass emigration to the United States from Ireland because of famine and unemployment was clearly now at an end.
Ireland's Trade and Employment Ministry said more than 4,300 Americans immigrated to Ireland in search of employment in 2005, compared with 1,700 Irish people moving to the United States, where more than 10 percent of the population claims Irish descent.
Killeen said a jobs fair in New York showed how appealing Ireland had become in the wake of the "Celtic Tiger" boom.
"The interest expressed by Americans to come and work in Ireland was so great that a queue more than two-and-a-half blocks long formed outside the exhibition venue," he said.
"In less than 15 years, Ireland has gone from being the sick man of Europe to one of the most dynamic economies in the developed world."
Killeen told Reuters in New York last week that Ireland would also try to lure Irish and U.S. citizens back to Ireland where the population is now back above 4 million, having slumped to a 120-year low of 2.8 million in the 1960s.

Good morning! Please clarify for my case details given below :
Labor approved, I140 denied for ability to pay. Employer had filed MTR with current tax returns documents. The labor has been filed & approved less than 180 days and I140 pending with MTR. H1B expires in 15th May 2011 completing all six years and no recapture periods left.
The questions are:
1. Can I file an extension of H1 with pending MTR and with less than year old labor application?
2. Is it legal to stay in US after May 2011 while MTR is pending and H1 extension is filed before expiry?
3. In case, if the MTR is denied, would the illegal/out of status will start from 15th May 2011 or from the date the MTR is denied?
Thank you
Best regards,

Hi Everyone
Just wondering if anyone in the forum can help me with this question.
My original EAD applied for in June 12, 2010 was approved on Sep 2, 2010. But, the document was lost in mail and after 90 days I was instructed by USCIS to reapply.
And, I did reapply on Oct 12, 2010 and the case is pending on initial review although I received the I-797 Notice of Action 'Replacement Receipt' on Oct 15, 2010.
According to the I-9 Receipt rule, I can start work for a period of 90 days using the 'replacement receipt' which is just a similar receipt for an I-765 application but for a replacement EAD (lost in mail). This is in the I-9 handbook in the uscis.gov site.
My question is:
According to the 90 day unemployment rule starting April 8, 2008, if we start employment using the I-9 receipt rule, do the days of unemployment still count against the aggregate of 90 days allowed after the OPT start date ?( which in my case is Sep 20, 2010.. I presume because this is the date I had provided on the approved original EAD application which was approved on Sep, 2nd, 2010 and I had lost in the mail).
So, basically in this special case where both the I-9 receipt rule & 90 day unemployment rule apply, what happens with the umemployed days accrued even if i accept employment?
Thanks.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Hello,
Does anyone work for Covansys?? I am in the process of talking to them for employment on H1B. Any issues with this company? I appreciate your comments...
They are big and you can join them without any hesitation. I worked for them for more than 6 yrs. I am not working there any more.
They are pretty good at filing H1Bs and GCs. Good Luck

Hi all,
I am on H4 for the past few years. This year I am planning to switch to H1. A consulting firm of only 5 employees is willing to sponsor my H1. I would like to know the chances of my H1 getting approved. Because the company is small am I going to face any problems? What will be the impact of the size of the company on H1 approvals.
I would really appreciate your inputs because this time I want to resume my career again and I don't want to have any problems with H1.
Thanks,
Amul

The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) strongly urges Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to veto a bill moving rapidly through the state legislature that would make it a crime to be an undocumented immigrant in the state.
In addition to the absurdity of aligning undocumented status with state trespassing, the law also validates racial profiling as a legitimate law enforcement tool which is precisely the reason why individuals and businesses around the country are beginning to seriously question whether Arizona is a safe place to visit, live, or do business.
The bill also creates a private right of action for any person to sue a city, town, or county for not enforcing immigration laws to the full extent of federal law and it establishes civil penalties for the city, town, or county. This subjects local governments to unreasonable and potentially frivolous litigation by private citizens with an anti-immigrant agenda. Even if a municipality is vindicated in court, it will still have to incur the costs of defense.
The problems with this bill are monumental and the consequences will be devastating to the citizens of Arizona and the state's already fragile economy. At last glance, Arizona was in the throes of a massive budgetary crisis. Arizona's economy simply cannot afford to absorb the costly litigation that this ill-conceived legislation will certainly produce. Moreover it sets a bad example for other states to pass similar bills. Already other states like Ohio and Utah are entertaining similar legislation. Immigration is the domain of the federal government and it is a huge mistake for states to be involved.
