Guys,
I wanted to select an infopass appointment for my wife her case is still pending, mine was approved on sept 4th (thru CRIS mail) at the Boston office
While selecting Infopass Appointment, should I select :
* You need service on a case that has already been filed.
(This seems logical , but it asks to choose from 4 options...the one that seems appropriate is : Case services follow up appointment...but it asks to bring SR (service request no) and that it should be over 45 days from the day SR was opened. But SR was opened only last friday...can I avail this service.
Or
*You need information and other services.
(On this one 4 services are available: one of which is obtain case status....but the question is if I want to obtain case status it must have already been filed...then it should belong to the above one)
Also anyone having experience in the state of Mass...last time we had an infopass we had to go to Boston USCIS office...now it is showing Lawrence Field office for the appointment I took for my wife using the 2nd option from above.
I selected No of people as 2 so can I accompany her to the office?
Thanks,
SoP

I live in New jersey and send my EAD renewal to Nebraska based on my I-485. When i read the instructions, I found out that the application has to go to Texas based to the state where i am in now.
I would appreciate if anyone had same experience and share it with us.
Thank you

Below is a decsription of this amendment from AILA document which lists all the amendments that were discussed yesterday
http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22584
It confirms that the amendment #1231 applies to Y visa only. On the Senate discussion thread yesterday when this amedment was being discussed some body mentioned something along the lines that that Sen. Kennedy said he supported employer recruitment for all jobs and that really scared me ... I think Sen. Kennedy might have been referring to jobs that require the Y visa
This amendment does not mention anything on H1Bs. There was a lot of discussion on this point yesterday. I think we can breathe a litlle easy now.
The CIR does have other restrictions on H1B like $5000 more fees, restrictions for consulting companies & non-disaplacement clause but I don't think any GC type LABOR CERTIFICATION is required.
From the aila doc:
Durbin Amendment (#1231) to Remove DOL-Determined Labor Shortages as an Exception to Y Visa Recruitment Requirements
Senator Durbin (D-IL) introduced an amendment that eliminates DOL-determined labor shortages as an exception to employer recruitment requirements for Y visas. Senator Durbin argued that the amendment is an attempt to require that jobs be offered to Americans before they are offered to Y visa holders in the new worker program. Removing the provision in the underlying bill allowing the Secretary of Labor to declare labor shortages, he said, would achieve this, since all employers who use the Y visa program would always be required to offer jobs to Americans first. Senator Durbin cited the AFL-CIO as a strong supporter of his measure. Senator Grassley (R-IA), a co-sponsor of the amendment, also expressed his support for the amendment.
Senator Specter argued in response that this amendment is simply unnecessary, since American workers and their wages are already protected under the law. Senator Kennedy, however, expressed support for the amendment. He agreed with the general principle that a measure protecting American workers is good for the country. Ensuring that new Y visa workers don’t encroach upon American jobs or affect American wages, he said, is a step in that direction.
The amendment was agreed to by a vote of 71-22.

It is really tough to get EB2 without work experience. Requiring a foreign langauge usually does not qualify for EB2 category automatically.

I am on F1 visa. I enrolled in one of the university. I don't attend university in person. I do attend classes online from another state. My question is that I am resident of which state ?? Will I be automatically resident of state where exactly my university is ? I know it is mandatory to attend classes in person on F1. Can you please advise ? How is residency considered ?
Thank you very much.

Congradulations again to all those IV memeber who are getting Green card approvals and goodluck to all those members who are able to file their I485 and get EAD, just to be out of H1B /H4 clutches and one more step closer to green card
As current drastic visa movment proved the fact that for IV members main issue is not current law but itz implimentation. a change in law will certainly help, but thatz not our big problem
I would like to discuss your IV future agend with current situation, Please post your opinion how you think IV should procede based on current situations.
I belive IV should now concentrate more on making sure current law is implimented in a more effeciant way, make sure USCIS does not waste any visa numbers, we need to push for speeding citizenship processes and makeup for loss time during retrogression
IV should stop chasing CIR which has nothing for us and itz very controversial
IV is for legals and we should concentrate only on whatz good for us
I really appreciate core members opinion
by the way I got my approval for my I485
