Thanks for participation in this forum. I think if US consulate denies visa in Canada then if one has AP (EAD and pending Adjustment of status) then she/he can come back to US without home country. Is that right?
I just wanted to validate my understanding.

My 140 (filed concurrently with 485) was approved on Aug 17th. Ever since 08/17 I have been seeing LUD's on it everyday. In fact there was a LUP on 08/19 Sunday! Any ideas what's happening? I think something is going in CIS.
I got a LUD on my November 2005 approved I 140 on 03/13/08. My I 485 reciept date is August 7th, 2007. I got all reciepts, EAD and FP notices. I am in EB3 category. Need to know why LUD on I 140. :confused:

Hi,
Can a H4 visa holder apply for the Praxis test series and then apply for State Teacher Certification. I know on H4 we can't work but is it possible , just getting the Teacher Certification.
I believe that you can take tests as long as you formally study on your own. But get this confirmed by a lawyer.
If it's not possible on H4 then I have an option to convert H4 to L2 (as my husband will change his status from H1 to L1) and get EAD.
Just a clarification: If your spouse changes from H1 to anything, your H-4 status is automatically terminated; there is no "option" to retain it.
Can after that can I get the Teacher Certification from PA ?
I checked on PA State Teacher Certification requirement for Foreign Educated Teachers and there is one point like this.
- is a citizen of the United States or holds an resident alien (green card) visa
Will EAD/H4 considered as Resident Alien Visa ?
No.
Or without Green Card it's not possible to get this Certificate ?
Please help me.
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for the reply!
So the letter is just an employment continuation or verification letter and has nothing that states the spousal details or spouse's intention to accompany the H1 holder. I hope I got that right.
Thanks again!

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/Magnify%20Glass.jpgIn our blog of yesterday (http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/2010/04/border-guards-will-finally-use.html), 1 April 2010, we mentioned the new screening procedures at US ports of entry (POE). Fong & Chun's clients travel a great deal, passing through Los Angeles and other immigration ports of entry. As lawyers to so many travelers, we try to provide accurate information about border issues. We have learned a little more about the new screening protocol.
In the past, all citizens of certain countries believed to be supporters of terrorism would all be scrutinized indiscriminately. Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, and Sudan are widely believed to have been on this list of soi-disant unfriendly countries. Citizens of other countries -- perceived as "friendly" to the USA -- would be subject to less scrutiny.
The new POE screening procedures use intelligence-based threat assessments. This information will be applied to all persons arriving at a POE, including Americans. If border guards have intelligence that -- let's pretend for a moment -- a university-age male student from Africa might be trying to engage in dangerous activity, then the border guards would be on the lookout for university-age male students from Africa. In contrast, university-age male students from, say, Malaysia, M�xico, Moldova, Monaco, or Myanmar would not be subject to the same scrutiny.
This new, intelligence-based approach makes the most of the information provided by US intelligence sources without painting everyone with an indiscriminately broad brush. --jcf

While filling the I-94 arrival record, My Friend did not give his last name at all . There was only two fields he filled 1. Given/First Name & 2. Date of Birth only.
So the I-94 record does not have his Family (Last) Name.
Is there any other center available so that he can give his last name for I-94 or he has to file the form I-102 (the disadvantage for filing the form is he has to send the original I-94 along with $320)
Thanks in advance.

Your post from yesterday was denigrating a certain set of people. A number of our users also complained about that post.
Please do understand that we do not want to have any post that offend other people. Otherwise the lawmaker's staff and the media folks who visit our forums, will assume that our organization and members stand for such a stance.
So as per our posting guidelines shown at the top, we were forced to delete it.

Apologies if I should have looked this up somewhere within IV .
Guess it is a simple question.
What does a soft LUD mean ? I have often read that term on the forum.
I at times see that something was updated on my case..."last updated date" but then there is no status update.....for example this happened on my I131 application on Feb 4, 2009
On the I485 I think it is just that they transferred it from one office to another as the status says.
=============================
Last updated | Form number

Its nice to know that the backlog center issue is also part of your agenda.

labor,
You are right. Addressing backlog issue is also a big part of the agenda. Pls educate your friends/co-workers affected by that and ask them to chip in for the cause.

I did the same thing for my husband. But since they have his h1b papers as well i think it should not be a big probblem.
Thanks
I have already sent my 485 application
1-140 cleared
In the field I94# and expiration I entered I 94 number which is on the white card on the passport and it is the same as the number on my renewed h1 papers.However I entered expiry date from the i94 on the passport,which is oct06 instead of the 010 date in the renewal.
will that be a problem..? CAN I CORRECT IT AFTER I get the reciept no or will thay be able to verify with the latest h1 paper that i94 is valid

I changed jobs twice after I-140 approval/180 - days of filing 485. I am in the 6th year of my H-1B. Both the times I transfered my H-1B and got validity for 3 years based on AC-21.
Now I know there is no formal form for AC-21. Most of the people send a letter along with some supporting documentation that their new job is similar to the old one. I didn't send any such letter, however when my H-1B transfers were done, the attorneys quoted AC-21 in the petition and got 3 year H-1B extensions.
My question is, would that consider notifying USCIS of AC-21, or is the 485 department different from H-1B department?

Here are few pending immigration bills which have a higher chances of passing in both house and senate. I was looking at some of the bills and noticed when a bill (or a varient )is introduced in both houses simultaneously the chances of that bill passing are higher.
This may be a good idea for us to try pushing some of the EB related measures if we can
into these bills. I know someone may say Hey these are family related bills But remember how they add the immigration, healthcare, veteran measures into budget or appropriation bills.....similarly we can try.
1 . Uniting American Families Act of 2009 (Introduced in Senate)[S.424.IS]
2 . Uniting American Families Act of 2009 (Introduced in House)[H.R.1024.IH]
This bill and varient were introduced in both house and senate. Note: It touches the
SEC. 4. NUMERICAL LIMITATIONS ON INDIVIDUAL FOREIGN STATES This is one item we always talk about removing the country limits......
The other bills in progress are
3 . Immigration Fraud Prevention Act of 2009 (Introduced in House)[H.R.1992.IH]
4 . Immigration Fraud Prevention Act of 2009 (Introduced in Senate)[S.577.IS]
5 . To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to exempt surviving spouses of United States citizens from the numerical limitations described in section 201 of such Act. (Introduced in Senate)[S.815.IS]
6 . To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for relief to surviving spouses and children. (Introduced in House)[H.R.1870.IH]
Any thoughts.....

Guys,
I just got my approval (Mar 06, TSC), finally! The key issue that I am facing is that I am not in US at the moment and it is very difficult for me to return immediately.
1. Is it okay that I come back after a month or so?
2. Secondly, my AP is expiring later this month though I have H1B stamped till next year. The issue is that earlier this year I had used AP to enter US in spite of the fact that I had a valid H1B. DOES this invalidate my H1B visa? Can I use the H1B visa to enter US after my AP expires???
Is there anything else I can do such as getting the cards fedexed to me and use them to enter US?
Experts pl. advise�
Thanks a lot.

Hello guys,
If the employer is not willing to share your I-140 approval status with you, is there a way to find out this information from other sources?
I currently have my 485 & AP numbers but do not have I-140 number to track on the USCIS website.
Thanks for help in advance.
