I have copies of all my I-20's and H1B's with me but I never kept copies of I 94 cards. Now if they start asking for all such documents its going to be very difficult. What happens if you are missing an old I20 can you ask school to go thro their records and issue a duplicate. To be honest from 2003 onwards everything is online via SEVIS so they should not even ask us for paper documents. Same with H1 with this new system they have started from this year.

Hi,
I have applied for my EAD and I-485 in the month of June '07 and all that i have recieved so far is my wife's EAD. I still did not recieve my EAD nor the finger prints notice nor the 485 yet. I have to move to IL from TX now and i am in a big confusion now. I heard that the mails from the USICS will not be forwarded to any new address by the USPS. If i would want to change my address with the USCIS now will it be a good move or is there any other alternative that you all could suggest me...Please advice me on this issue and help me out of this situation.

Get your degree evaluated by WES http://www.wes.org. or http://www.trustfortecorp.com/cou_evaluations.html
They will do a course by course evaluation and will let you know if your degree is equivalent to 4 year US degree. I am not sure if they will evaluate aptech one but try it out. Keep this copy with you and incase you get a RFE, answer it with this report. There is high chances that it will be approved.
I am surprised how your attorney did not do this before submitting the application.
GOOD luck

Thank you Mark!
You did an excellent job. Your explanations were very clear and probably made sense for someone who is not familiar with EB immigration issues.
Thanks!

My case is like this
Have valid I-797 - till - Jan 16,2009 ( now expired right )
Valid I-94 - till -Jan 24 , 2009 ( now expired right )
Applied for extension in --- Sept 2008( 5months before I-94 expiry date)
Applied for premium in -- Feb 26, 2009
RFE -- Mar 2, 2009
Denied -- Mar 31,2009
Trying to transfer my H1- to another product company under premium.
I heard if you appeal the denial, you cant file the transfer, so i dont want to appeal,
Please correct me if this is incorrect ???? gurus please help me,
As I know I dont have any status but denial letter says appeal with in 33 days.
Consulted PRODUCT COMPANY ATTERNEY , said you can stay up till 30 days.
Is it possible to transfer with out appeal or MTR for the current denial ?
Please advice, as I am already running out of time....
thanks

I recently renewed our passports. I removed the I-94 (Which were stapled) to the passports and kept those with me, just to make sure it doesn't get lost. There was no question asked from Indian embassy regarding I-94, which is not the requirement, on the website.
Hi:
While sending passport for Renewal, do I have to attach I-94, too alongwith Old Passport, or should I remove it..I am sending it by Certified Copy..

Hello Gurus,
If I have an approved I-140, approved EAD, 180 days have passed since I filed my 485, and I have a "similar" job offer from another employer, can I take up the offer from the new employer by transfering my H1B (which will be in 7th year from Jan 2008) without affecting the AOS/GC process (in other words without having to use my EAD) for new employment ?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

If you count the taxes these 150K legal immigrants would have paid if they were in US for a year it is more than 2.5 billion dollars.
There was a recent study claiming that 14 million illegal immigrants pay 1.5 billion dollars a year in taxes (read mostly sales taxes). And thus US should legalize these 14 million people to continue to get 1.5 billion dollars a year.
Now you can compare 150K people vs 14 million people and who pays more.
The study fails to tell that these illegals do not have insurance. So they use hospitals for free. They do not pay federal taxes because they do not have a valid documentation. Even if they are allowed to pay federal tax, many will be below poverty line.
The study did not envision an economic scenario for America if 14 million illegals are legalized. How many will claim unemployment, social security, medicare etc. I can bet the cost to government will be in billions with many zeroes after that. Someone should call the reporter and the pro illegals who created that study to answer these questions.
It is possible for undocumented to pay teh federal and state taxes. They generally usea fake ssn and once the payroll is run taxes get sent to IRS.

This is my personal experience.
I was on H4 for 3 years to take care of my toddler. During that period I tried to earn some US experience through volunteering as I did not have work permit. I researched little bit on it and finally decided not to volunteer on H4. Attorney's opinion is that H4 holder cannot volunteer for a For-profit organization. They could volunteer only for non-profit organizations like temples, churches,etc.
I waited patiently, got H1b and luckily got a job as my company felt my NON-US experience is good enough to perform my job as senior data analyst.
Hope this helps

[QUOTE=h1techSlave;174221]"Aligning with illegals will be benefitial to us." That was the philosophy that we have been following all along. The result - you talk to an average American and he thinks we are illegals. You talk to lawmakers (IV's lawmaker meeting attendees can confirm this) and the lawmakers think we are illegals. That is why we may have start thinking of another strategy.
[QUOTE]
So what??? You tell them you are not, and you go on talking about what you would like to have done. Then you talk to the undocumented lobby and get their support for your bills, then they contact their sponsor Senators. I see absolutely nothing detrimental to the cause of IV that some people think you are illegal - on the contrary I see a lot of positive in it, since all of a sudden you have a story to tell.

163,000 applns for general and more than 31,200 applns for advanced degree.
WASHINGTON � U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced a preliminary number of nearly 163,000 H-1B petitions received during the filing period ending on April 7, 2008. More than 31,200 of those petitions were for the advanced degree category.
I read this as saying this....
The 163k number includes the advance degree number. So it is 132K for general and 31k for advance

Go for GC , not career. You can get good career whenever you want, but you cant get GC whenever you want. Once you get GC you can apply for 150k job wherever you want, any company you want. With h1 you cant do that.

Great piece of info, dude! :)
Just an additional question, what happens if the parents are in the I-485 applied stage and the baby is born outside of US ?
I would call it expensive mistake.
The child has to apply for immigrant visa as follow-to-join, unless, of course, if child is still eligible for H4 visa. In that case, he/she can file for I-485 in the US if the PD is still current.
