I read on this and other forums that with Re-entry Permit a US resident can live outside for more than 1 year and less than 2 years.
Not true. There is no limit, except that eventually US immigration may decide that the person has relinquished their permanent residence if they stay outside the US for many years.
Secondly, Is there any limit on number of times a Re-Entry Permit can be applied?
No, the first 2 are for 2 years each, and then one year at a time. Again, CIS will eventually question whether the applicants really intend to return here.

IV..i140 is such a black hole that people are indiscriminately (or discriminated and ) stuck there...there is no order in processing..people who filed in 2008 are getting approvals whereas people who filed in July-2007 have not even had their fingerprints taken..
I had a petition going a few months back, it was sent in with about 100 signatures, I can send a text of the petition if IV wants to use this and talk to CIS.
The petition was sent to Ombudsman, Sen Lofgren and USCIS Director..
Please help..because many many people with current PD will lose their chances, they need to speed things up now - like they did during June last year..why can't they bring the same momentum..??
It used to take 2-4 months for I140 in 2006/early 2007 - even if they received double the number of cases, its been over 1 year plus...and so many people don't even have LUD..this is a grave concern and if IV can do something about it, it will be appreciated by the MASSES - because this help will go a lonnng way - longer than even the reforms - which - until the new government comes in are meaningless....

My understanding is that you can transfer existing H1B. I am not a lawyer.If you have a copy of your H1B approval notice, you should be able to transfer to your new company. However, if you may have to visit US consulate back in your home country for Visa. You may want to double check with immigration gurus.

Gentlemen,
I had a quick question with EAD I understand that I can switch job after 180 days as long as there is 50% match in job description. However my companiy's legal coordiantor send me a weird query that she cannot find the job in hard to fill category. So my question is Does the job I am applying for using my EAD has to be hard to fill as in case of H1 or the only requirement is that the job description should match 50% with the underlying LC.
Thanks for your answers.

A group of volunteers from OneAmerica (a local pro-immigrant non-profit associated with the Reform Immigration for America Campaign) and I visited the offices of Senators Murray and Cantwell (both D-WA) in the last week. We met with their outreach directors for our county and presented them with almost 1000 signatures of Microsoft employees impacted by retrogression. We also gave them a presentation similar to the one IV gave back in 2006-2007.
They were frank with us, both senators are our allies but they are not sure if they will tackle immigration, financial reform or energy/climate change reform before the Nov. elections. However, they said they will try to keep us in the loop and give our docs to the senators. We will not let up and will keep pinging them for action.
They thanked us for showing up and providing some great personal stories to back up our petitions. They also asked us to keep in touch in case they need compelling stories to help promote all aspects of CIR.
Let's keep visiting lawmakers and help them commit to CIR this year!

My employer filled EB-2 PERM for me on 12/2007.
My I-140 is approved on 07/2008.
Now I am worry about losing my job.
If this happens, maybe I will switch to NIW pathway later.
Now I wonder whether NIW can use the PD of PERM?
My attorney is not sure about this.
Anyone here succeed in this?
Thank you very much!
Simple answer is "YES YOU CAN" :)
But start on your NIW case soon, it is much easier to get NIW done if you have a job while applying. Also there is no premium processing for NIW yet, so work on it now, dont wait till you get laid off.
Additionally, get a good attorney! NIW case requires a "VERY good attorney", not the one who is not sure of some simple thing like porting of PD.
Good Luck.

I took my citizenship exam one week before having 5 years pass on green card, I passed the test but the officer told me that I have to wait until I complete 5 years holding the green card, then I should receive a letter informing me with the oath ceremony�s date. It�s been a month and I have not received any letter. I am starting to get worried because I know some people who had that process stretched by couple of years. Does anyone know the duration between the citizenship test and the oath ceremony?
Note: I live in northern Virginia.

Some 63,000 flights had been canceled in Europe by the end of Sunday, in the four days since the air space of northern Europe was shut down by an enormous ash cloud from an erupting volcano beneath the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland.
Passengers are scrambling to find alternative travel routes. German tourists are being bussed home from Spain, while the Royal Navy is sending military ships to Spain to bring home stranded Brits. Thousand of Europeans are also stuck in the US with no option to leave at this time. Many visitors are worried about the implications of not being able to leave before their current status expires.
Foreign nationals stranded in the U.S. because of the airport closures in Europe due to the Icelandic volcano eruption and who are about to exceed their authorized stay in the U.S. have two avenues for relief. If at an airport and traveling under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), they should contact the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office at the airport. They may also contact the local U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office. Both Department of Homeland Security agencies have provided their staff and offices with guidance on the applicable legal authorities under the VWP in circumstances such as this.
Persons traveling under a visa should contact the nearest USCIS office and follow the instructions below. While these instructions recommend initiating the process 45 days in advance, USCIS is providing reminder guidance on how to handle such cases until normal flights are scheduled between the U.S. and foreign countries affected by the Icelandic volcanic activity.
We keep monitoring the situation and will update our readers as we obtain more news.

Hi,
I am in desperate need of answer to my question and good thing I found this forum.
I have a boyfriend who was a refugee and so he has a special case green card that doesn't expire. He was 2 yrs. old when he came here but never thought about applying for citizenship. Last year, we decided to go to Philippines this Feb 2011 due to a friend's wedding and vacation. He couldn't apply for passport since he was born in a refugee camp and so he doesn't have a birth certificate. He decided to apply for a I 131 on August. According to the I 797 that he received, received date was Aug. 30, 2010, notice date was Sept. 1, 2010. Since we were expecting to receive the I 131 before our travel date (feb 4th to be exact), we decided to buy the tickets last month (december). He's been calling USCIS about his status and yet, he got the same response as to what is posted when he checks his status online "accepted" which is not very helpful. He asked the customer service rep if he can expedite it and they said, they can't do anything about it. It's very frustrating that we can't get hold of anyone who's really working on his paper. Then somebody told us to try Infopass. He scheduled it today but the earliest date is on Jan. 21st which is like 2 weeks after our scheduled departure. Will that be enough time for them to process it just in case they will just gonna process it by then?
My other questions are, can Infopass help him with his problem? Can they release his I 131 or refugee travel document by the time of his appointment? According to their processing time, it should take them 3 months and it's been more than 3 months, can we travel without a travel document and without a passport? This is very frustrating and stressful... Your response is very much appreciated..

in the end someone is talking sense.....
Yes its is a very good development....especially a hispanic lobby group is saying this.
Still other allied group need to eventually come to the conclusion and only then it can
happen.
The Hispanic lobby is agitating for the Dream Act which is held up by CIR.
But fight is not over yet. The nursing lobby is also focusing on this.
If piecemeal happens, a major fight will erupt between
Eb2/3 crowd and the nursing lobby over who gets to feast on the recaptured visas.
Nursing lobby wants the recaptured visas first.

if you can go to biometric center within 10 days of original appointment and do a walk-in on a walk-in date, usually WED;
else
go to biometric center and hand over the originals (after keeping a copy) and ask them to reschdule and give them for ex., any date after 25th OCT 2007.
PM me for more info and we will talk.
U R better off rescheduling your mexico appointment - its something that could be done within next 3 to 4 months for sure. The problem of rescheduled FP is, it kind of throws your case in the back and based on ASC's load, it might take them upto an year or more (think 800,000) for them to put you in again.
Its just my opinion based on my conversation with my lawyer - since we were in S. Africa and my lawyer notified me about the FP and my lawyer blurted out what I said above.

Guys:
Does anyone know what is the current count on H1-B Visas left for the year 2006-07 ?
I know I may sound stupid and probably the answer is that it is already complete, but wanted to confirm.
Also, when would the next years quota become available and when can one start working at the earliest ?
Is there any other way to file for H1-B now and work..?
Thanks

This is really a good news!! :)
BTW,what about AP??
Mine was approved recently..UH just missed the boat this yr :(
I'm also pleased to announce that we will be extending the validity period of the employment authorization documents that we issue to individuals who are waiting adjustment of status to lawful permit residenture or in colloquial phrase, the green card.
Currently, adjustment applications are granted employment authorization documents with only a one year maximum validity. Beginning later this month, we'll start issuing these documents with a two-year validity period for aliens who are waiting adjustment of status if their application is expected to be pending for more than a year.
This, again, is eliminating a persistent source of frustration for workers who are here, who have a pending adjustment application but have to go and renew their employment documents every single year. It's going to cut the paperwork there.
