    "The formal announcement of the CIS �solution� has been held up because they need to receive approval from the Office of Management and Budget. This suggests that the CIS solution may include one or more changes to the existing regulations. In any event, all sources are reporting that, at a minimum, all July filings will be accepted. The possible regulatory changes suggest possible far reaching solutions that go beyond the immediate problem"

    where do you all see/consult for updates or news on USCIS activities?

    3) After 2 years, changed the employer in 2004 and applied GC in EB2 at the end of 2004
    4) Application with the DOL sent to the BEC
    5) DOL approved the petition in Jan 2007
    6) Applied I140 in April 2007
    7) Applied I485 in July 2007
    8) FP completed and EAD received in September 2007
    9) I140 RFE Aug 2008
    10) I140 denied in March 2009 - Reason is Too may petitions from the employer
    11) Appeal sent in April 2009
    12) Once the dates are current in Sep 2009, i talked to the attorney and decided to file a new I140 with the same labor

    Thanks

    I received a receipt confirmation for my I-140 petition. It shows that they received on March 24, 2006. I tried to check on the status on USCIS website in case status. I could not find my case so far. Does it take so long to be updated. I am worried if my petition is misplaced somewhere...
    Please give me your advice.

    It looks like a case of misunderstanding. Did you explain why you had the change of heart?. Explain your personal situation -like you are explaining here- with the pregnancy and commute time and doctors visits that are required every week?. I am not sure why a sane person wont understand the reasons why you decided not to join them. Further, if they do not understand, ask them if they have filed paperwork for H1?. If NO, then what is the claim of $3000 for?

    I thought AP must ONLY be used for emergency travel purposes, not for vacations, brother's marriage etc. Some IV members shared their experiences at the POE, the IO may ask why you left US, what was the emergency? Please correct me if I am wrong. Can AP be used for casual travel also? Thanks.

    Not a lawyer. This is not a legal advice.

    this number has been thrown around a lot
    per uscis as of July 27 they had 75K pieces of mail
    so maybe 125K applications including families.
    this will increase a bit, so let's say 175K or 200K
    still quite different from 700K

    My wife is not H4, she is working on EAD and we applied her I-485 last July. She has to travel to India for an emegency. We applied for AP last month, have the receipt but it is not approved. Is it okay if she travels to India without AP approval? I will be here and I can take her approved AP when I go there after two months.

    I heard that if she travels without AP, her I-485 is considered abonded. Is this true? Can we apply for her H4 (as I am still on H1). Any advice on how to get her back?

    Thanks!

    You are saying ur PD was Sec 2005? Mine is Dec 2005. Should I also expect it sometime soon :)?

    We all can expect and keep expecting ;-) My PD is Nov 2004 (EB2 NIW), RD for 485 is Aug 2005. Who knows, you could be luckier and FBI likes your name... They seemed to be not liking mine though.

    Hello everyone,

    I have a question abt the recent contributions. Of late i have seen a SHARP drop in contributions. Have we reached a plateau now, or are the contributions not updated live?

    Also i have a question abt what the agreement is with QGA. Do they do nothing till we pay the $200k or do they do things in installments (like our immigration lawyers ;)). A lot of non members, but possibly potential contributors keep asking me abt the same. If the board can answer this question i would appreciate it. If you do not want to post that info on here, please send me a Private Message.

    I am in Houston and if you plan to organize a rally, I am in.

    I believe by the end of this fiasco, Emilio Gonzalez will resign. This will definitely get more attention and lead to more reforms in EB category.

    Guys, its plain and simple. Without techies and scientists like us, they know, that US cannot be world's technological superpower. Period.

    VIA USCIS.gov


    Introduction

    U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced a final rule adjusting fees for immigration applications and petitions. Thefinal rule (http://www.ofr.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2010-23725_PI.pdf)follows a period of public comment on a proposed version of the rule, which USCIS published in theFederal Register (http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-13991.pdf)on June 11, 2010. After encouraging stakeholders to share their input, USCIS considered all 225 comments received. The final rule will increase overall fees by a weighted average of about 10 percent but will not increase the fee for the naturalization application. The rule will also reduce fees for six individual applications and petitions and will expand the availability of fee waivers to new categories. The final rule will be published in the Federal Register September 24, and the adjusted fees will go into effect on November 23, 2010.

    USCIS is a primarily fee-based organization with about 90 percent of its budget coming from fees paid by applicants and petitioners for immigration benefits. The law requires USCIS to conduct fee reviews every two years to determine whether it is recovering its costs to administer the nation�s immigration laws, process applications, and provide the infrastructure needed to support those activities. Remaining funds come from appropriations provided annually by Congress. The final fee rule concludes a comprehensive fee review begun in 2009.

    USCIS�s Fee-based Budget

    Fees account for approximately $2.4 billion of USCIS�s $2.8 billion budget request for fiscal year (FY) 2011. More than two-thirds of the budget supports the adjudication of applications and petitions for immigration benefits at USCIS field offices, service centers, customer service call centers and records facilities. The remainder supports USCIS business transformation efforts and the funding of headquarters program offices.

    The adjudication areas supported by fees include the following:


    Family-based petitions - facilitating the process for close relatives to immigrate, gain permanent residency, travel and work;
    Employment-based petitions - facilitating the process for current and prospective employees to immigrate to or stay in the U.S. temporarily;
    Asylum and refugee processing - adjudicating asylum and processing refugees;
    Naturalization - adjudicating eligibility for U.S. citizenship;
    Special status programs - adjudicating eligibility for U.S. immigration status as a form of humanitarian aid to foreign nationals; and
    Document issuance and renewal - verifying eligibility for, producing and issuing immigration documents.
    USCIS�s fee revenue in fiscal years 2008 and 2009 was much lower than projected, and fee revenue in fiscal year 2010 remains low. While USCIS did receive appropriations from Congress and made budget cuts of approximately $160 million, this has not bridged the remaining gap between costs and anticipated revenue. A fee adjustment, as detailed in the final rule, is necessary to ensure USCIS recovers the costs of its operations while also meeting the application processing goals identified in the 2007 fee rule.

    Highlights of the 2010 Final Fee Rule

    The final fee rule will increase the average application and petition fees by approximately 10 percent. In recognition of the unique importance of naturalization, the final fee rule contains no increase in the naturalization application fee.

    The final fee rule establishes three new fees for:


    Regional center designation under the Immigrant Investor Pilot Program (EB-5);
    Individuals seeking civil surgeon designation (with an exemption for certain physicians who examine service members, veterans, and their families at U.S. government facilities); and
    Recovery of the USCIS cost of processing immigrant visas granted by the Department of State.
    The final fee rule adjusts fees for the premium processing service. This adjustment will ensure that USCIS can continue to modernize as an efficient and effective organization.

    The final fee rule reduces fees for six individual applications and petitions:


    Petition for Alien Fianc� (Form I-129F);
    Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status (Form I-539);
    Application to Adjust Status from Temporary to Permanent Resident (Form I-698);
    Application for Family Unity Benefits (Form I-817);
    Application for Replacement Naturalization/Citizenship Document (Form N-565); and
    Application for Travel Document (Form I-131), when filed for Refugee Travel Document.
    The final fee rule eliminates two citizenship-related fees for those service members and veterans of the U.S. armed forces who are eligible to file an Application for Naturalization (Form N-400) with no fee:


    Request for Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings (Form N-336); and
    Application for Certificate of Citizenship (Form N-600).
    Lastly, the final fee rule expands the availability of fee waivers to new categories, including:


    Individuals seeking humanitarian parole under an Application for Travel Document (Form I-131);
    Individuals with any benefit request under the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008; and
    Individuals filing a Notice of Appeal or Motion (Form I-290B) following a denial of any application or petition that did not initially require a fee.
    Final Rule: Schedule of Fees

    The following schedule lists the adjusted fees that will take effect on November 23, 2010, alongside the existing fees in effect until that date:

    I use SBI and it is good. My Vote is for SBI .


    SBI - Global Link Services (http://remit.onlinesbi.com/)

    I too vote SBI.....do not use ICICI...

    I have always used ICICI in the past...and recently started using SBI....they pay slightly more exchange rate than ICICI...and moreover it is a national bank....makes me feel good to use SBI compared to ICICI....

    (sorry to go off topic)
    BTW...talking of Banks....I just rencely knew that the FED Bank in the US is privately owned....(might be old info for many...but not for me)...
    so here money is printed and lended out to the US by someone private...(Rothschild family, if you have not heard of them google the name)

    Hi

    Thank u for the response

    client is a finacial firm UBS.
    Consulting firm is a direct vendor to the client and they transferred my H1 offerrin' me FT

    This was the offer they pay $x on a daily basis -- W2
    $65k -- they will mention in H1 and the remaining amount as per the W2 they will pay as bonus once every 3 months, tht's wht the agreetment is.

    In the contract i was mentioning it says in case i fail to provide services to the vendor i am suposed to pay all the expenses they spent on me but the thing is client rejected the offer and there was no job @ all and they stopped floating my resume, askin' me to find a job myself.

    This is the email i received.... but the thing is i never started at all bcoz of clients rejection based on credit report.
    You and vendor entered into an agreement on or about March 8th 2010. According to the agreement you were to provide your services to Vendor by working on a project for our client UBS. Your services were to commence on March 22, 2010
    To date, you have not fulfilled your obligations nder the agreement and thus youare required to pay Vendor the total sum of amounts for obtaining your work authorisation along with the cost of obtainig your background check.


    If i am still not clear please let me knw

    Thanks Again

    Hi!

    I have a question about wether a person with US Masters can qualify for EB1 category? Please comment.

    I know generally people with such qualification fall into EB2 category. However, does years of expereience and say Patents qualify you to be considered as EB1?

    Thanks for reading this thread and commenting.

    In theory, About our own "genuine" educational qualifications We can all discuss this all our life. BUT our educational qualification is SECONDARY for any EB based GC process. The first and foremost qualification is your employer
    "should have such a position where EB1/2/3 hiring is must" OR be willing to "create such job position". Then your "Genuine" or "Created" educational qualification and/or "prior work experience" comes into play.

    So it is possible that you may come across more advanced people rotting in Eb3 category as they might have choosen "Genuine" way and their employer "could have only Eb3 requirement" while s/he had to file GC and "not willing to create" any acomodative position/s.

    And you may also be able to see dumb ones as far as "Genuine educational qualification" is concerned but street smart already having GC based on EB1/2 and perhaps sarcasticlly laughing towards us. Now that does not necessarily mean all EB1/2 are dumb ones and street smart OR viceaversa. And that does not mean all EB3 are "genuine ones" and Viceaversa.

    Frustrating? Isn't it? Welcome to the GC world.. Bottomline, it is all about what your "Employer wishes and how s/he wants to proceed and what level s/he can accomodate your "needs" "....
