I believe Lou was referring to conversing on the internet. It definitely isn't a turn on to an employer if you are a 1337 h4><()r. You have to be able to get your words across. That is not to say that you can't use a bit of slang.

Consulare processing means, you have to go out of the country to your home country and over there you have an interview for an immigrant visa. If approved you come to the states with that visa and receive GC here. If denied, consular processing CANNOT be appealed. The decision is usually final. When you do I485, whcih is adjustment of status, you stay in the US and if gets denied you CAN appeal the decision. To be eligible for adjustment of status in the U.S. one must show he/she never violated non-immigrant status until the I485 was filed(since last entry).
If you file I140 while being on F1, that could be taken as "violation of non-immigrant" status. It is advisable to change to a dual intent visa before filing for I485. Such visas are H1 and L1.
I am not attorney so don't take my answers for granted.

This is USCIS memo, Read Que 5 on page 3.
Memo clearly says following things not be considered in deciding same/similar job:
- Wage difference
- Geographical location
- new employer's ability to pay (that's why it is absolutely fine if you work for your own/wife's company that started yesterday)
About a year ago, I changed job on EAD with 75% higher salary. at that time i had talked to a Sr attorney at Murthy.com and he had adviced me it is not a problem. (my 485 is still pending)
Only in the case where the new wage is simply unbelievable, it would be a problem (e.g. $20k or $450k for a s/w engg, beause there's noone who gets paid that much for that job)
So it's not the difference that would matter, it would be the absolute salary that could matter.

I was just thinking if it would help to gain more publicity if this site goes by a different name. On several instances while calling lawmakers or other people, the moment I mention immigrationvoice.org they think it is related to Illegal immigration / CIR etc. I need to stress that it is about legal immigration.
Even the flyers don't catch enough attention
Any name that does not have immigration in it (something like numbersusa), and reflects our main focus - green card retrogression and legal immigration would help - Just a thought...

Can you please help me with this?...I have already submitted the affidavit copy and now they want it from Registrar office. Has any one got it from registrar office in India? if so, how difficult it is and what is the procedure?
"A photocopy of a birth certificate issued by the Local Registrar if the person named above was born in a city, or
A photocopy of a birth certificate issued by the Additional District Registrar’s office if the person named above was born in a village.
If a birth certificate does not list the names of both mother and father, or the child, secondary evidence must be submitted to establish parentage. Secondary evidence includes, but is not limited to , copies of: medical records, school records, census records, government-issues identity cards, religious records and/or affidavits from at least TWO persons alive at the time of birth. The oldest available evidence that lists the names of both parents should be submitted."
Thank you!
Ask your parents (anyone of them) to visit the registrar at the municipal office of your home town. The registrar will issue the birth certificate once your parents submit an affidavit to the office. Hope this helps.

Job switch after getting Green Card!?
Question:
My question is: Can a person switch the job once (s)he gets his Immigration Stamp? If not then what is the period of time for changing the job after immigration stamp. Note that he is currently on H1B and waiting for Immigration Interview.
Answer:
The official rule (which IMHO has not changed with the passage of AC21) is that you must not have any preconceived intention to leave the job when you get your Green Card. (Your friend clearly does :-( ) In general, working for the company for one year after getting the GC is normally considered sufficient.
If he can't stand the thought of a whole other year at the company, then he should withdraw his consular processing and switch to adjustment of status within the US. 180 days after his AOS is filed, he can take advantage of AC21 and switch jobs, providing he remains in the same field. Of course, the downside is that it'll be an extra year or more before he actually gets his GC.
I doubt such a "rule" would be enforceable after AC21 for people getting greencard thru the lengthy I-485 process. It makes no sense that someone in the I-485 for more than 180 can change job while still getting the greencard, while someone with the greencard can't change jobs after waiting for so long on the I-485. A federal judge would certainly dismiss such case.
I wouldn't speak so soon. We already have an analogous situation with marriage: if you divorce three years and six months into a marriage, do you get to keep your Green Card? Not if the processing took between 18 months and two years. If it was more than two years, you are home and dry because you got a full GC; but if you get your GC even one day before your second wedding anniversary, it's conditional on you staying married for another full two years (with a few exceptions for domestic violence etc.)
So although I agree the situation is iniquitous, we already have a close analogue enshrined and clear in law. Could it survive a challenge under the 14th Amendment? Maybe not, but nobody (to my knowledge) has ever tried.

Ombudsman:
Get your facts straight. "Undocumented" does not mean a person who has "lost" his documents....it means a person about whom there is no record (i.e. documentation) at the USCIS/Dept. of State. A legal immigrant would not become out of status just because he lost his documents or they were destroyed in a flood or fire because there are typically copies and records available at the employer, the IRS, the Social Security Administration and the USCIS. A person who has all his documents would still be classified as illegal if he or she overstays their visa.
Anyways....please do not try to hijack this thread in a different direction than what is intended. After a series of hearing by the strongly enforcement only leaning house questioning each and every aspect of the CIR with negative connotations, finally, there is a hearing organized by Senator John Cornyn, who was instrumental in getting the SKIL bill included in the CIR focusing on something positive and fairly non-controversial in the CIR/SKIL/PACE bills and that directly affects all of us legal, documented, high skilled immigrants.
SO, to bring the thread back to its original intended path...Are there any members in the Dallas or nearby areas who would be interested in attending the hearing, please contact himanshu at immigrationvoice.org The hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.

As per USCIS official report as of end-August, there were more than 500,000 pending AOS applications:
http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/APPLICATIONS%20FOR%20IMMIGRATION%20BENEFITS_Aug07. pdf
So, if we estimate that there were about 100,000 more AOS applications receipted during September and October, that is a total of 600,000.

Would request you to elaborate a bit.
Note that I am not using either my EAD or my AP. All I am using is H1-B and my Canadian Passport to enter and leave US. Most people on the Canadian US border to that.
Also, I commute to US everyday to work, which is less than an interval of 12 hours.
Your input is greatly appreciate. Thank you.
Using H1-B or AP does not make a difference. Filing I-485 implies that you have a residence here in the US.
Having said that, typically, trips outside US that lasts less than 24 hours are not counted. That way, daily trips could be OK. However, may I ask, where do you spend your weekend?
It comes down to this question. Are you residing in US? The burden of proof is on beneficiary (I-485 applicant).
I would suggest that you should consider getting second opinion from a reputed attorney.
Hope that helps.
