H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) is seeking public comment on a proposed federal rule (http://www.federalregister.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2010-13991_PI.pdf) that would adjust most fees by 10% for immigration benefit applications and petitions.
USCIS is a fee-based organization with about 90% of its budget coming from fees paid by applicants and petitioners to obtain immigration benefits. The law requires USCIS to conduct fee reviews every two years to determine whether its costs to administer the nation�s immigration laws, process application, and provide the infrastructure needed to support those activities. A fee adjustment, as detailed in the proposed rule, is necessary to ensure that the USCIS recovers the cost of their operations while also meeting the application processing goals identified in the 2007 fee rule.
Members of the public are encouraged to submit comments and/or suggestions to USCIS.
Comments may be submitted through regulations.gov (http://www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/home.html#home). The comment period runs for 45 days, beginning June 11, 2010 and ending July 26, 2010.

Recently, I e-filed EAD renewal for me. So, there was no issue. Give some more time, like a couple of weeks and if you don't see any change, then call USCIS.

I don't think its the same plane that will take you all the way. If I am not mistaken AI has a code share flying in to Paris and then you switch planes. the only transit destinations that you don't change planes according me with Air India are Frankfurt and London.

Hi, I am on At Will Employment, employer laid off on April 30 2009. I had seen in discussions, if employer laid off we an ask him for Return Flight Tickets. I need to confirm because i was on At Will Employment.
Plz reply me soon
Thanks
If you were on H1B
1. the employer has to provide you one way return ticket to your actual destination. this is the law.
If this can be done,
1. Tell your employer to give you one month vacation and keep you on the payroll. In that case, you can start applying for a job and if you get a job you should be saved. You would have to call employers rather than depending on rectruiters
2. If possible change to F1 visa,
3. Promptly apply for canadian immigration and move to canada, since you were in US in H1B there are high chances you would get a canadian PR within 6-8 months.
4. At least complete the FBI clearance when you are at US to apply for canadian PR.
5. Check for other oppurnities.
However,
1. Describe your skillset and the nature of work. Maybe someone from IV would help you.
2. Ask for help if you need something. Most of the IV members i got in touch are really helpful. In turn i have helped few of them.

Hello all,
I am currently on H1B visa working for an IT company. I have got an admit for this Fall to do my MS and I was planning to study using my EAD. Now there seems to be some risk in using my EAD and so I want to apply for F1. I have applied for I-485 (Adjustment of status) along with my husband's green card application.
My question is:
1: Is it a problem to apply for F1 if my I-485 is pending approval ? The reason I ask is, F1 is a Non Immigrant visa and I-485 is for a green card (which is Immigrant visa).
2: Would my F1 application cause my 485 to be denied or vice versa ?
Thanks in advance
Your F-1 will probably be denied since you have expressed intent to immigrate by filing I-485. What's the problem with using EAD (assuming that you are the dependent)?

Thanks for the reply. But I have not yet received the approval. I have just received the receipt of H1B transfer application, and I am worried if they would not approve H1B transfer application since middle name has a typo. Please reply.

Now. Don't try to scream.
This is just unofficial and don't ask my sources.
All i know is that as of yesterday there were only 18000 applications for Masters quota.
Why did not they get filled as fast as the Regular quota?
This is the reasoning my lawyer gave....
"Most of the applicants for Master's quota were in confusion after April 3 after reading several bulletins about 200,000 or so H1-B applications. And some people didn't even apply thinking that the USCIS may have received more than enough master's quota applications even though the bulletin said that they were accepting more applications for Master's quota."
I know of people who have submitted fresh H1-B applications under master's quota as late as April 7th.
So guys, wait for the official numbers. Don't believe me. But do compare when the official news is released.
I am surprised by the slow pace of Master's applications.

Hello,
Anyone who received their Advance Parole Approvals, from NSC, who filed their I-485/AP etc on July 2nd?
Thanks.
Is there a time-frame after which one can contact the USCIS office for advance parole (like the 90 day time-period for the EAD card)?

First thing is never give USCIS more than they have asked for.
Send them a letter stating that your previous attorney made a mistake and you have never applied GC before.
secondly since incomplete medicals are bound to have another RFE, there is no harm in sending them revised medicals and yes they have to be sealed from USCIS approved doctors.
