Arizona's new immigration law is a bad idea whether you are an anti or a supporter of comprehensive immigration reform. The reasons are different for each but the idea of a state taking crazy measures points to the failure of congress and the administration to take meaningful action to correct what is becoming a system that is failing the immigrant community and our entire nation.
What does the Arizona law do?
Arizona's law orders immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there's reason to suspect they're in the United States illegally.
What do opponents say?
Critics, including immigrant advocates and the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, say they are concerned the law will foster racial profiling, arguing that most police officers don't have enough training to look past race while investigating a person's legal status.
It also targets those who hire illegal immigrant laborers or knowingly transport them.
Are other states considering similar legislation?
Michael Hethmon, general counsel for the Immigration Reform Law Institute, helped draft the language of the Arizona bill. Hethmon said lawmakers from four other states have approached him asking for advice on how they can do the same thing where they live. He declined to identify which states, citing attorney-client privilege.
Is federal immigration legislation coming?
Democrats say that if they don't get Republican commitments soon, they likely will push to move a bill without GOP support.
Democratic sources said the chances of passing immigration reform in that scenario this year are slim, but they want to make clear to key constituencies they are at least trying.
President Obama is still pushing for a bill, though.
Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is the only GOP senator on board, but he has told Democrats they will lose his support unless they find another Republican. Obama recently called Sen. Scott Brown, R-Massachusetts, to try to get him on board, a Brown spokeswoman said.
Bottom line is that this bill does not make Arizona safer or its residents free of criminals. It's anti-immigrant and unconstitutional.

Today i received my EAD card, It says fingerprint not available. I have not yet received FP notice
Has this happened to anybody else, will i have to update EAD card after FP, how does this work
Filed on July 16th, My checks were cashed on 10th Sep
Thanks
vinod
First EAD will have no fingerprints, since you have not gone through FP.
Its normal. Read other threads.
You will not need to update EADs, renewal next year will take care of this automatically.
Could you please provide some more info on your case...ie. filed with which service center, case transfered or not....Remember this is community site, we share information/knowledge for benefit of each other, Thanks

Hi All,
I have my EB2 485 pending (since July, 2007). I have EAD based on that filing. I am also on H1B - so I am not using EAD. But my wife intends to use EAD (based on our current EB2 based 485 filing) from coming August.
In the meanwhile I have got my EB1 140 approved. My question is if we file for 485 based on EB1 petition, do we lose our current EAD till a new EAD is issued under new filing? Are there ways to ensure that my wife continues with her employment and I move ahead with 485 filing?
Thanks for help.
Explore interfiling... no personal experience ... but the idea is that they use the same I-485 but interchange the underlying I-140. Seems like there is no special form for this but to just write to USCIS with evidence for the new approved EB1 I-140.

sfo counsulate charges a fee for endorsement. I recently travelled to India and carried old passport + new passport and PIO card without endoresement. no issues.
endoresment is needed only if you don't carry your old passport, but I guess you already know that carrying old passport is more beneficial than not carrying it.

Such half quotes cause more damage than do anything good for us. Maybe they picked up a few sentences rather than displaying the full context. I have not seen the full message. Looking at the quote and paragraph about 'Competing in the 21st Century Economy ' it seems like this argument is for more H1B visas and STEM exemption of H1B visas from its annual 65K quota.
Such messaging actually hurts us. Unless there is mention of 'Greencard' and 'backlog' such general statements would mean H1B to many.

It amazes me how united and organized ILLEGAL immigrants are. This forum has visitors who are afraid to reveal their identities for fear of prosecution (in spite of the fact that the law protects us from that as we are not doing anything illegal) and illegal aliens are making headway every single day!
http://www.daywithoutanimmigrant.com/
http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=business&id=3880333
No wonder our agendas get forgotten or dropped everytime in favor of illegal aliens. After all, the squeaky wheel gets the grease! We do nothing for ourselves and do not deserve anything either. This will happen again if we keep on being mute spectators watching from the sides.

Upon DOL certification, the employer files the USCIS Form I-129 (http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/leave-doleta.cfm?www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-129.pdf), the required filing fee, and other supporting documentation (including the approved LCA) to USCIS. Unless specifically exempt under the law, the employer must pay USCIS filing fees.

I got the following email from my friend. Thought I would share it here.
Folks,
As most of you might know, there are a number of Immigration reform bills that are in various stages of their life in the US Congress. There is this 1 particular bill which is really important to people like us - Employment based legal immigrants from India & China: Bill 5882.
Highlights of the bill that are of use to EB applicants:
1) Would recapture unused Visas from past years and roll them over from one fiscal year to another.
2) EB 1, 2, 3 would become current and would remain current for quite a few years
I know some of you might have already got your greencard. But I am sure you know a number of others, many of them your close relatives and friends, who are stuck in this queue for a long time. If not for yourself, please take action for them.
Action needed:
1) Please go to http://www.opencongress.org/bill/110-h5882/show
Register your email address and vote YES for the bill.
How this helps: Online polling is an easy way for senators to gauge the popularity of a bill. If all the EB applicants were to VOTE yes, it
would take the number over 200,000 easily. The most popular bill has around 7000 votes. A bill on opencongress.com having 50,000 votes
is sure to garner a lot of attention.
2) Forward this email to all your friends and relatives who will benefit from this bill.
Only a systematic, organized online campaign would only us all to get LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS in the USA.
Thanks for your time!

You need the reference. Go to the solution window (located on the right side and right click on it and select add reference). Empty project is just that, empty.
Console applications are normally the non-GUI projects. It will default and add certain references.
Just for some future information you can create class library for creating a dll with a project. Useful if you are using certain code in multiple solutions. In this way instead of including the files you just include the project and in the solution put a reference to the project and it includes the .dll (dynamic link library) file when building the solution.

HI All,
Anyonw planning on going to school this year full time? I am planning to...I have an EAD/AP that I can use and I know several IV'ans may be debating the same isssue
Now for the gurus who have already researched this:
1. Can one avail of financial aid (FAFSA) if has Advanced parole. I'm not 100%sure because its says 'indefinate parole" and i'm not sure if ours can be classified as "indefinate"
2. How does one activate EAD/AP (does one have to travel outside the country). I am currently still on H1B with 3 year extension granted but visa not stamped
3. One can go to school F/T on EAD. But what are the options to preserve one's PR application (..after all its been over 5-6 years since we filed are applications)...assuming its been over 6 months since I485 was filed and AC21 benefits kick in. And, is a leave of absence a better option than quitting.
I wanted to start a debate of what we are doing because I know several of us will be in the same boat.

Not sure if this is the section to post this.
I am listing a few things that rake up my mind whenever I think of my prolonged (for me its prolonged though) stay in US. Dragging my feet over decisions to go back or not.
My posting is entirely my view. I would not be willing to trample on other's feelings. Just sharing a few things.
Cons
------
1) Leave everything behind as such in our native place and start everything afresh here. Looks cool for a start. But end up in a remote place with few people and no friends. Life starts to suck when you move on for some months in the remote place. Some like it most don't.
2) Trying to look back on what we missed being with family and friends, those good old days. Sitting on a wall/bench and chatting about daily happenings/cricket etc
3) Going back after some time to be bewildered on what happened to those buildings that were there. Before you digest all those, your vacation is gone. Poof
4) Most Importanty, live with fear on what will happen to those near and dear who have been wishing us good luck and health. Just imagining that fact that when you visit back next time, they might not be there, gives me sleepless nights. This is true even when you are back in your native place but at least you have a solace in seeing them whenever you require and help them in their times of need physically. Nothing is like what you do rather than telling others to do.
5) Missing all those religious events, happenings, special occasions.
Pros
-----
1) Live own life without any bindings (we can give umpteen excuses on how we are forced to live but its still our life)
2) Money factor
3) Move away from petty politics
4) Your own car.
5) Wifeys like it here as it moves them from home politics and they drive the home here.
These are my thoughts. Just sharing with a few who might care.

How will you do that? I guess, while working on cases, user has to click somewhere to send an email. If they choose not to, then there will be no email. In my case, I never saw consistency in getting emails. I don't think that is a big issue, just check your status periodically. Bigger and important issue is how to get your case processed faster, and in sequence.
USCIS online case status system broken, My AP receipt numbers are not showing up online. we need to alert concerned USCIS authorities directly or thru IV's contacts in USCIS or thru AILA.

You need approved EAD. apart from waiting for 180 days. You also need I-140 APPROVED. If you have just recently applied for EAD (2 weeks ago) Do not expect it till atleast early April. It is taking them more than 90 days to approve EAD.
WAIT till you get EAD Approved AND I-140 Approved. Research about AC21 and how you can take advantage of that. Read up threads on AC21. It is going to be a longer wait than you thought.
