India. He said EB2 which can apply to any country. And at the rate its being used I see EB2 follows fate of EB3.

I never entered the US in the first place.
You can try to move existing visa to the new employer if it has not been revoked by the employer. If you are not working for them...they are supposed to revoke it.
The process for moving to a new employer with existing visa is almost the same as applying for a new one except that you are not subject to the annual cap of 65K
Considering that you have the old employer stamped on your visa...it will cause confusion at the airport or POE and they might send you back
Its better to file a new application since you are not in the US

You get SS after you cross 55 or 58 I think. How knows by then they might bring some law to stop the SS for outsiders.
There is a archive thread on this already.Read it dear h1bs.
the only reason i'm staying here is to complete the 10 years of social security payments. leaving now would be foolish. this green card business is just a carrot to get endlessly humiliated.
does anyone have any knowledge of non-citizens claiming social security in india?
as per the SS, indian citizens who have contributed >= 10 years can claim SS payments in india.

Gurus,
I will be travelling to India and the airlines is AirIndia via Frankfurt. FYI, my US visa expired in 2007 have valid I797 (until Oct 1st, 2010). Do i need to obtain a visa to travel via franfurt. AirIndia flight stops for couple of hours in Frankfurt to re-fuel.
Also as you can see my I797 is valid for six more months (company will apply for renewal) but will it be safe to visit India and get stamped for Six months valid document (I797).
My wife is on H4, is only she travels will it be ok from visa stamping standpoint. If there is risk, i will not travel but she has to due to family emergency.
Any input/advise is appreciated.
Thanks

Is it possible to extend H4 status after using EAD for a person whose I-485 pending in derivative status.
I read Cronin Memo reg. dual intent "Revision of March 14, 2000 Dual Intent Memorandum"
It seems to discuss reg. using AP to enter the country and maintaining H status.
Not sure if anyone here has done the extension of H4 after using EAD.
Cronin memo:
Cronin Memo (5-16-00) | Carl Shusterman (http://shusterman.com/h1blvisasmemoworkingadvanceparole.html)
Appreciate any comments reg. this,
There's no 100% clear law/rule on that situation and it's somewhat up to the consulate to decide. In theory, she should have no problem getting an H-4 visa at all. However, that's based on a USCIS position saying that your underlying H-1B work authorization remains valid, even after you travel using a Parole. You're correct, though, that there's always been a logical problem with that CIS position, since your status is technically Parolee. Since the consulates are run by the USDOS, they are allowed to take their own position on that problem, so there's always at least some risk of them causing problems with an H-4 visa application. so it is better to file an H1B amendment and go for H4 stamping.

I too, am in process of changing my address, however in this transition period I have put a hold in USPS mail. This way, I got all my travel docs from local post office safely. A colleague of mine had same exact situation like you, and he had to re-file it again.
Once the travel docs are lost, USCIS will not re-send them to you. They shall ask you to refile it completely.

My spouse was on H4 then got a job and changed to H1. Subsequently spouse lost her job and is now back on H4. I have been on H1 throughout and my six years of H1B visa expire in 2010. MY spouse I and want to get our H1 and H4 visa stamped in Mumbai consulate.
Does any one think that the changeover from H4 to H1 and then again to H4 could be a reason to be concerned about for getting the visa stamped at the consulate?
Appreciate your valauable advice.

Hello All,
I have couple of questions regarding Travel Document or Advance Parole.
My EAD has already been filed by my Lawyer but she is charging too much for filing Advance Parole or Travel Document,so here goes my questions.
- Is there a way to file for Travel Document myself, without involving the lawyer and if yes how can i do that
- Do I need to wait for my EAD Receipt being sent to me before filing for Travel Document.
i did this exactly, where my lawyer filed my ead, but i filed my ap myself. all u need is i-485 receipt copy.

Share experience about Vonage about calling India.
Vonage, a provider of voice over Internet protocol phone service, has reached a settlement with Kentucky, Indiana and 30 other states over allegations of deceptive marketing and unscrupulous customer service procedures.
Under the agreement, Vonage will make �significant� changes to its marketing practices and handling of consumer cancellation requests. It also will provide refunds to eligible customers.
The company will pay the states a total of $3 million for reimbursement of legal and investigative costs. Kentucky�s portion of the reimbursement is $45,000, according to a news release from Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway�s office.
Vonage officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
Vonage was ordered to provide refunds to customers who did not receive rebates they believed they were due because their accounts weren�t open long enough to qualify or because they spent a portion of their trial periods waiting to receive or return equipment.
Refunds also will be provided to customers who were assessed excess usage charges without being informed of usage limits, received additional monthly service charges because of difficulty in canceling service, or received charges for unordered services and equipment offered as free.
Under the settlement, Holmdel, N.J.-based Vonage (NYSE: VG) must revise its disclosures for offers of free services, money-back guarantees and trial periods, according to the release. The company also must follow strict guidelines in dealing with customers wishing to cancel their service.
Through their investigation, the states found that Vonage paid bonuses to customer service representatives who retained customers. As a result, many customers had difficulty canceling their service.
Now, Vonage must record and verify conversations between customers and the company�s customer service representatives, according to the release.
Vonage customers who believe they are eligible for a refund under the settlement can call the Kentucky Attorney General�s Office of Consumer Protection hotline at (888) 432-9257, or download a complaint form at Kentucky: Attorney General Jack Conway - Forms (http://ag.ky.gov/civil/consumerprotection/complaints/forms.htm).

Philip Wolgin lists on Huffington Post his ideas for smaller items Congress could consider since CIR is effectively dead. Some are obvious, but others less so. They are 1. DREAM Act 2. AgJobs 3. Make the EB-1 category more reasonable. 4. Create a more reasonable bar on those accused of providing material support to terrorists to cover those essentially involuntarily providing the support. 5. Eliminate the one year bar on asylum claims.

He is not talking about GC's ,though he did skirt around H1B. I'm not able to figure out if this article holds any good new for us .
Would be nice to read others opinions on this.
Thank you.
I feel he will not ignore legal immigrants. There will be action for sure, as it appears. We should take this as positive when he says +ve about H1B. If he said something bad, then thats bad also for others.

It has become quite a hassle to obtain a California state driver's license or state identification card ("ID") when you are a non-immigrant such as in F, M, or J status (students, students in vocational schools, cultural exchange students). Recently Immigration Customs and Enforcement issued a fact sheet on applying for a driver's license or ID card for non immigrants in F, M or J status. (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Applying%20for%20a%20Driver%27s%20License.pdf). The fact sheet is helpful as it provides basic information on how to apply for a driver's license or ID card. It is not state specific but it does list all of the websites for all of the Department of Motor Vehicle offices in the United States.
The steps in applying for a driver's license or ID card in California are listed on the California Department of Motor Vehicles website (http://www.dmv.ca.gov/dl/checklists/id.htm). You must do the following in this order:
Obtain a Social Security number
Complete a Driver License or Identification Card Application
Present an acceptable birth date/legal presence document
Pay the application fee
In order to obtain a Social Security number, you must go to a local Social Security office. You may find out more about the process on the Social Security Administration's website (http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/). For those in F, M, and J status, you will find additional guidance by reviewing Social Security's electronic fact sheet, "Social Security numbers for non-citizens. (http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10096.html#3)"
The fact sheet issued by ICE is useful because it provides an email address to use in case the DMV does not issue the driver's license or identification card. It has been difficult in the past to get the immigration authorities to communicate with the DMV about a person's immigration status. In the fact sheet, ICE promises a one-to-two day turn around once they receive a request for information as to why a student's ID or driver's license was not issued. This is great news as students have suffered a great deal of frustration in the past waiting for the agencies to communicate with one another.
