Immigration Voice will conduct conference calls periodically with immigration attorneys regarding issues affecting employment-based immigration.
The scope of discussion would be around issues pertaining to employment-based immigration law impacting highly-skilled primary beneficiaries as well as their dependents.
Immigration Voice provides this at no cost to all registered members. Members can benefit from this free advice, and access links to the recordings, transcripts and more.
How it works:
- Members email their questions to Immigration Voice (see procedure below)
- Since this is a pro-bono service from the attorneys at this time, please use your judgment on questions that are time-sensitive and require immediate consultation. Due to the volume of questions as well as availability of the attorney, please permit for more than the standard response time you would expect from a paid consultation
- During the pre-determined conference call, Immigration voice moderates the call and poses questions to the attorney
The lawyer(s) would answer accepted questions on the phone call in real time.
- We would allow one followup question from the person who originally submitted the question.
- The call and advice would be free to cost to everyone. After the call, the recording would be available for members to playback. If time permits, we will also post the pdf file transcript of questions-answers for the benefit of everyone.
- The question-answer session does not constitute any attorney-client relationship or any attorney-client privileges. The advice would be given based on information provided in the question which may not be sufficient for a complete answer.
- Questions that are related to H1, L1, H4, visa-stamping, employment based Green card etc will take higher priority over all other questions pertaining to areas of immigration that are not related to H1 or EB greencard. This is because this organization represents legal highly-skilled employment based immigrants.
- If your question is received after the cutoff date wherein the attorney accepts questions, such questions will be carried over to the next conference call due to paucity of time.
- Questions would be considered on a FIFO basis(First In, First Out), and a unique ID will be assigned to each question that will be used through the lifecycle of that question(Real FIFO, not BEC type FIFO).
How to submit your questions:
Please read the disclaimer below before submitting your questions via email.Please provide us with the following information, preferably in the following format, and keep it consise and crisp:
Email with Subject Line saying : Seeking Legal Opinion.
Email Address: legal_advise@immigrationvoice.org
Your Info: Please mention your first Name, City and State, so that we can use it to announce your question in the call. That way, your question would be distinguished from similar sounding questions.
Your Country of Citizenship: If your spouse is from a country other than yours, please specify both your countries of citizenship
Your Questions: Provide some clear background. Avoid questions with long and complicated case-specific situations that are like "Can I do X? If yes then is option A or option B better? If option A then can I file this? IF option B then can I file this? If B fails then can I refile A?". Such flow-chart and if-then-else type questions would be taken up only if time is left and attorney is comfortable in answering questions with limited information of your situation.
------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUEST: In the interest of everyone, we request you to run a spellcheck on your questions before you email them to us, to minimize the effort taken by us to clean up and send to the attorney. It provides a professional touch if we use formal, business English. (i.e., refrain from using slang, shorthand, abbreviations, all capitals, all lowercase, colloquialism, et-al).Microsoft Word, among other Word Processors provide excellent spell checkers and thesaurus options to help you with this.

Dear Virgina Desi,
Congratulations, enjoy your card and stay in US. All the best for future.
I have a small question,
My Case: I applied earlier PERM was approved in NOV 06, applied for 140 and than changed employer so everything was wasted. After joining new employer again filed PERM in JUN/JUL 07 got audited, rejected and than filed for apeal. In the mean time got my OLD I-140 approved. Now its more than 10 month after my PERM appeal so waiting to withdraw this PERM to file a new one.
Question: I am aware i can retain the old priority date but my lawyer says first i need to get my PERM approved which i totally agree, than he says i need to get I-140 approved and than he will file for portability of date. I told him that you can file for I-140 and port the date together he says NO. Please clarify?
Thanks,
R.

Then again I presume it would involve paying a fee of $80 for the biometrics too each time you apply online. Could be avoided if we go paper based.
That does raise a small question here, the $1010 fee that we pay does that also exempt us on the biometric fee, so in essence AP/EAD/FP is all exempt irrespecitve the number of times we apply under the new fee structure?

Yes, PD & labor is same. Don't need to apply labor again. Just the I-140 since it's a company take-over.
I filed the H1-B extension through Regular, just want to see if 140 is worth filing premium?

What if this was a situation with someone who was NOT working for a NON-PROFIT but for any other FOR PROFIT corp?
Suppose I worked for a FOR PROFIT employer for 2.5 year and have .5 year left on h1b and then I file for 3 year extension of h1b. Once I get approval I move to EAD and work on EAD and then after 1.5 year I want to come back on h1b .........CAN I DO IT?
Can I still use the peition which was approved for 3 years?
Will I be counted in CAP and will have to go through lottery?
I am sure I will have to leave US and go to home country to get a h1 stamped but just want to make sure that it is a NEW h1 or just the old one which I can use.........??
Please help me as I have been trying to find a CLEAR answer on the board and was not able to get a straight answer. I have asked my lawyer also and she is researching it.........I will post her findings too.......

Is there a way to check if your case has been pre adjudicated. My 485 doesn't show any LUD since oct 2008. We changed address at the time. I thought that would result in a soft LUD. Nothing since then. My priority date is Jan 2007- EB2-I.

Assume my husband company doesn't want him to leave.
Then what you say.
When you said u had a good relationship does that mean, you talked to your employer before changing jobs.
Thanks
What does the employment contract between your husband and his employer say? This document will be the key to what your husband can or can't do.

"Are we worth pursuing?" This is what we need to be asking Congress...before Congress tells us that as high-skilled legal workers we must spend up to 10 years waiting for an immigrant visa (Green Card)m or just go home, they need to see if we are worth pursuing or not. Evidently Congress believes that at least some immigrants are worth pursuing, as evidenced by the free-for-all DV Lottery, where 50,000 Green Cards are randomly given out yeary to people from all over the world (except India, China, Mexico and the Philippines). These free-for-all visas bring 50,000 new people to the U.S. who can come here even if they don't have a job waiting for them, thus they end up taking American jobs (in convenience stores, selling Avon products door-to-door, as car mechanics, whatever)...and then there is us! The highly-skilled people, in the U.S. on LEGAL visas. We are doctors, engineers, business leaders, in positions where no American was found for our jobs (as evidenced by the grueling "Labor Certification" process) we pay taxes, contribute to the U.S. through patents, start-ups, community work, and yet we are abused, drowned in red tape and told to wait for up to a decade for a Green Card.
Congress needs to decide if we highly-skilled contributors, who are very few compared to the overall pool of immigrants are "worth pursuing" (read the article in the link at the top), or at least whether we are AS worth pursuing as DV lotto winners such as car mechanics from Belarus, or Avon ladies from Bolivia (with the difference that they were given a free ride and allowed to take jobs away from Americans, and us PhDs and Doctors are forced to be certified that we haven't and won't take any job from an American, pay 1000s of dollars and wait for up to a decade)
Congress! Before you kick out your curent and future Nobel prize winners (We highly-skilled legals!!!!) end the free-for-all DV Lotto! Then you can kick the rest of us out and bask in Nativism....by the way, did you know that there are Americans working in other countries too? (So why shouldn't there also be at least SOME highly-skilled foreign immigrants in the U.S. along the same logic????) It's part of globalization! Wow you didn't know right?

Horscrop,
Yes, it is possible that USCIS would reject the extension because the PERM was not filed 365 days before the end of six years. However, a rejection on this basis is clearly contrary to both the language and intent of AC21, and I believe, could be successfully challenged on appeal.
