Cap on skilled immigration unlawful: UK court - World News - IBNLive (http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cap-on-skilled-immigration-unlawful-uk-court/137822-2.html?from=tn)
London: A temporary cap on the number of skilled workers from India and other countries outside the European Union was introduced in June 'unlawfully', the High Court ruled on Friday.
Home Secretary Theresa May had introduced the cap as an interim measure before a permanent cap to be in place from April 2011. It was challenged on the ground that ministers had 'sidestepped' parliamentary scrutiny before announcing the
temporary cap.
The legal challenge to the cap of 24,100 until April 2011 was brought by the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI) and English Community Care Association, and was upheld by judges on Friday.
The Home Office said this did not imperil its flagship immigration policy but the opposition Labour said the police it was in "chaos" after the court ruling.
The ruling has nullified the current temporary cap, meaning it is no longer in force.
The cap was one of the first measures of the coalition government that promised to bring down immigrations from hundreds of thousands every year to 'tens of thousands.
In today's ruling, Lord Justice Sullivan and Justice Burton concluded that the home secretary had not gone through the proper parliamentary procedures before implementing the cap, which took effect without a vote in Parliament.
The judges said: "The secretary of state made no secret of her intentions. There can be no doubt that she was attempting to side-step provisions for Parliamentary scrutiny set up under provisions of the 1971 Immigration Act and her attempt was for that reason unlawful." As a result, it said no lawful limits were now in place for Tier One and Tier Two applicants from abroad. The Home Office said it was still "firmly committed" to reducing levels of net migration. "I am disappointed with today's verdict," Immigration minister Damian Green said, adding: "We will do all in our power to continue to prevent a rush of applications before our more permanent measures are in place".

I entered US in 2001 on H1B and have not left the country since then. Unfortunately within few months of coming to US, I had a fight with my wife and was charged of domestic violence. This charge was later reduced and I was convicted of a simple battery.
Now if I travel overseas and come back on AP (I intend to use my approved AP instead of going for H1B stamping), can I be denied entry to US at port of entry because of my criminal charge?
Anyone in the same situation or know someone in this situation? Was there any issue in there re entry into US?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Welcome to Dphoto, 12bar.
Dumb rookie questions are more fun than Pro' questions in my opinion. Mostly because I'm able to answer them...
Although I enjoy motorcycles, I'm not really a BMW fan (just don't really fancy them, nothing in particular, just not my type of bike... More of a japanese race-bike type of guy).
Guitarrs tend to not work at all for me... :-(
But I'm happy to answer any questions you may have - assuming I know the answer, or am able to figure out something that sounds realistic ;-)

Here's my situation in briefest form. I'm engaged to a woman in the Philippines. She worked as a domestic helper in Kuwait from about 2005 to 2007, a period of about 2.5 years total.
I understand that as we move forward on our K1 application (I'm an American just be clear) she'll be required to submit police reports for anyplace she has lived for more than 6 months. She doesn't have such an item from Kuwait, and it seems nearly impossible to obtain such a report. The websites all say that this document is only given to 'current residents'.
How can we obtain such document, and what if we can't? It seems unfathomable that the US Gov would request a possibly unobtainable document and then permanently deny our chance to live in the US together, if we are absolutely unable to obtain this document?
Does anyone have any advice, or can tell me what happens in a situation such as this?
Thanks for any help.

Hi ,
I was convicted of petty larceny in NY. I was convicted of disorderly conduct PENEL CODE 240.20 on 05/25/2006 in NEW YORK . The actual arraignment charges applied were 155.25.165.40.
I performed 6 days of community service. Paid some $75. After a 1 year (5-26-2007) the charges were expunged. I have disposition letter from the NY court.
When I applied for my green card in July 2006 , in the I-485 / green card file I revealed that I was charged, convicted and arrested and my charges were expunged. I got my green card in August 2007 on the bases of VAWA (Violence against women act).
Now, I have been living in Maryland for the last 3 years.(Since September 2007)
I have applied for neutralization.
I am scared that I shall not be deported or citizenship should not be denied because of my conviction which is disposed almost 4 years old.
I have no charges against me after that incident.
I am filing my tax returns every year.
Do you think I can still be denied the citizenship? Or I can be deported ?
I would appreciate your response.
Regards

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
There has been a lot of talk recently about what might be included in an immigration reform bill. Will there be a legalization/amnesty/forgiveness of "lawbreakers" rule? Will there be an expansion of employment based and family based immigrant visa numbers to solve the economically devastating backlogs we currently deal with? Will there be a mandatory E-Verify component? Will there be an interior enforcement focus? Will there be even more fences?
The topic that seems to be lost in all this speculation is something I consider to be the overriding component of reform--the Key to holding a reform package together. I am speaking, of course, of Due Process Restoration. Anyone who deals with immigrants for any length of time is intimately familiar with the disaster that is our immigration enforcement system. It is not just that previous administrations have done a horrific job at the enforcement that should have been taking place, but rather, the missing component to that enforcement. When is the last time an ICE officer worried about Due Process considerations? What is really destroying immigrant families--how about 212(a)(9)(B) and (C)? What about the concept of "civil" detention in real jails with real criminals for non-criminal immigrants? What about the detention of Asylum Seekers? What about the ludicrous requirements of REAL ID for asylum seekers?
These are all only a few of the regular violations of concepts most American hold sacred. When you tell the 'average' American about the system immigrants actually have to deal with, most are appropriately appalled. It is to those Americans that we must speak. I believe that if Senator Schumer has the courage to include Due Process Restoration in his "Comprehensive" immigration reform bill, it will be tragically necessary for us to defend these Due Process provisions of the reform package.

Thanks for your response.
But both of my labor certifcates are from the same company. I read somewhere I-140 is for intending to employ me. How can they employ me in two categories one on EB3 and one on EB2.
Do you see any disadvantage if I file both from the same company.
Thanks.

afaik there is no impact on GC... EXCEPT: if there is an RFE, you have to prove beyond doubt to uscis that you have a full time job and your job duties are "Same or similar" to what is in your labor application... however, if you asked me, from a tax and liability perspective, i would recommend going for llc/s-corp/c-corp (based on your situation) instead of 1099... even 1099 can be used for good tax benefits but is not that great from a liability perspective... having said that, if you are into software development, it is likely that you will be asked to buy liability insurance... so, it all depends on your situation...
Hello
I am planning to work part time on 1099, just wanted to know will it impact the GC process in anyway
My status
Working full time on EAD with GC Employer (planning to port job and use AC21 as soon as there is any opportunity)
485 pending since more than 6 months
Thank you

Do you know your I-485 receipt number? If yes, then request FOIA to get all the documents attached to your I-485 case number, then they will send you all the documents in your I-485 case file and I-140 document will be there in it. You might also need to enter your A# in FOIA request.
If you dont know your I-485 receipt number then I am not sure how to send FOIA request.

I've read at the vfs website and also the forums that Returning US Workers are qualified to apply for Emergency appoitment. Has anyone on this forum done this and successfully got visa stamped ? Also is there any document needed to support the emergency or just the fact that we have to return to the job is enough to qualify for this category?
Thanks!
