I recently moved to CA (San Diego). I have a DL valid till 2011, from the state where I lived before. Now, I am in AOS pending status. No more H1B visa and I-94 expired long time back. I have EAD and AP. If I go to DL office for california DL,what will be the validity period? Will it be till the EAD ( which is going to expire in next 3 months ) ? In this case I do not want to show my EAD to apply the licence. Will they accept 485 recipt notice to prove my legal status in USA ? Will they give five year license in this case?

Its not a legal loophole. Some states just do it that way. Their under pinning argument is that you are on a temporary visa and does not have permanent residency. Also, its not the University that makes up the rules. There is some thing called domicile office in most schools and they determine residency for in state/out of state purposes. The domicile office has specific set of instructions on how they should determine eligibility requirements for in state. For example common wealth of VA has state council for higher education (http://www.schev.edu/Students/VAdomicileguidelines.asp?from=students) that provides these guidelines. Check out what AZ has to say and if they say only permanent residency is a requirement to be eligible for in state, there is nothing much you can do.
Also, its not a federal violation as states decide what they want to do with their university systems. If you want you can write to your state senators and assembly man and see what they have to say. Its very difficult to explain them these nuances when there are a bunch of people crying out loud that many illegals are getting in state rates.

Can you please share your experiences with renewal of Indian passport in US. They are asking for 3.5cm x 3.5cm photos which are not same as the regular passport size photos. The CGI Houston website mentions passport size photos as requirement in some places and 3.5cm X 3.5 cm photos in some other places. Can you please share on what you did for the photos? thanks a lot.

Are you out of your mind ? You are taking a huge risk by staying in the US and droping your Canadian PR because of some "probable" green card. What makes you think that by the time you finish school the situation will still be better in US. I hope you will not regret this but think about your family. In 3 years you and your family could be happily in BC with free health care, great weather, less stress, travel wherever and whenever you want, have your own law firm.
OR you could be a stressed H1B (a.k.a educated slave) waiting for I-140, I-485, EAD or whatever to come through.
Just because you asked, I have been in this same situation. But in my case, the decision was easy. I was on h1b making 69k. The same job in Toronto offer $55k CAD. Much less, but with my freedom to consult on the side and my wife's income we bring over $100k. We vacation in Florida for a month every year to visit friends. Life has never been better.
Whoever tells you to stay and take the risk is putting your family's hapiness in jeopardy. But the choice is yours. Just don't come here crying when CIS finds a problem with your application.
Thanks gomirage for your views as an actual Canadian resident! I have worked with several Canadians before, and while they all complained about the high taxes it seemed like they generally thought they had a better lifestyle in Canada than in the US.
However, some stuff I've been seeing on sites like notcanada.com concerns me. Is Canada really a place where it's more profitable to sit around and collect welfare than to work, assuming you can even find a job? Are Canadians more racist than Americans? Is it really hard to get by career wise and socially if you're not a native or have the appropriate connections?
I would really like to hear the views of someone having moved to Canada from the US about these issues!

I don't know how much time you took to complete AMIE.
Longer is better in this case.
I finished my AMIE in three years and I am in trouble.
If you took four or more, then you are lucky.
May be you can request a letter from IE, Calcutta mentioning the timeframe you took to finish AMIE.
That helps to support AMIE is a four years degree.
Regarding MTR, may be you can tell your attorney that similar AMIE applicants got I-140 approvals and your bad luch that it got stuck.
If your ed eval says you have bachelors, then you can tell your attorney that you have the qualification and you want try one more time.
My personal recommendation is go for another new labor with EB3 and draft it accoring to your qualifications.
Once the I-140 is rejected, then it is a bad remark.
All next I-140's will be linked and tracked. So it is difficult to convince USCIS that you have bachelors. Even though you go for MTR, you can buy time and it is hard to get positive results from USCIS. This is all my guess.
It is always better to go for EB3 new labor as you have some time.
Thanks and all the best.
Here are the details of my case:
Hi All �
Please I need some help urgently!!! Here is what I am going through �� My I-140 got denied on Aug 28, 2008.
My education is 10+2, 3 years diploma in engineering, AMIE in Mechanical Engineering and 2 years PGDIE (Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering). I am working with the largest enterprise software company and hence a big law firm as well. I have total 15 years of experience (12 years after AMIE, 10 years after PGDIE).
In my labor it�s clearly stated that the bachelor equivalent is needed.
Labor Priority date: 5/10/2007
8/7/2007 I-140 petition filed for EB2.
8/7/2007 Adjustment of Status applications filed.
8/7/2007 EAD application filed.
8/7/2007 Advance Parole application filed.
9/25/2007 USCIS Receipt Notice received.
10/23/2007 EAD approved and valid till Oct 2008.
6/20/2008 EAD renewal application filed.
Not sure when my lawyer got request for REF. However, I was asked to get more detailed information like transcripts / mark sheets with regards to AMIE. I submitted whatever my lawyer asked for.
In the mean while, my wife got a job. I asked my lawyer if it�s okay for my wife to start working and they said yes she can and there will not be any issue her visa status. My wife was on H 4.
7/1/2008 RFE Submitted
08/28/2008 I-140 / I-485 got denied
I still have valid H1.
I-94 Expiration: 4/10/2009
Estimated Final I-94 Expiration: 11/25/2011
My questions are �
Is there a known case of guy with AMIE got it through EB2? If so what needs to be done?
How do I convince my attorney that we should go ahead and file the MTR.
Please help!!!
Thanks

Hello,
I just received an RFE for my dang travel document as well. They want copies of all my passports, with arrival/departure stamps and more photographs. I travel abroad every other year so this may have kicked off the RFE. I'm sure all the lawyers are loving the RFE's. I cannot believe we have to go through so many hurdles for just a I-131 travel document. It looks like they are going to make us work for our green cards. :confused:

I know Immigration voice is not for profit organization and it is doing a great job.
My intention is not to belittle IV, my intention is just to express my opinion as a user, most of the problem will be solved if the links are not shown to non members if they are not allowed to see the content.
I just saw your post in YouTube, it is very informative.
All the time and effort that IV volunteers put in and the lobbying efforts don't come free. There is a cost associated with it. As tonyHK12, I'd rather trust IV and risk $25 a month than leave everything up to chance and hope. Just my 2 cents.

Hi Gurus,
I have efiled for my wife's EAD/AP renewal. When I finally submitted, the total payment asked was only $645( 340 for EAD and 305 for AP). But, there is a note stating the following:
"The biometric fee is $80 for applicants ages 14 through 79 who request a Refugee Travel Document or Re-Entry Permit, unless the applicant resides outside the United States at the time of filing their form."
How am I supposed to send this? I was not asked to pay this amount during my efiling of the AP/EAD concurrent filing.
How am I supposed to send this? Can I send it as a separate check for $80 only for the biometric fee( because I had already paid for the EAD/AP using my credit card)
Please advise.
Also, during the AP filing, I got this:
"On a separate piece of paper, please explain how you would qualify for an Advance Parole and what circumstances warrant issuance of Advance Parole. Include copies of any documents you wish considered. (See instructions.) "
What an I supposed write in the document that I am going to send to USCIS?
Please advise.

Are the sample affadavits floating around the ones to be used (that my parents can fill in and sign) and would that be sufficient. Does it have to be notariazed or parents filling/signing it is sufficient.
Also do consulates of India etc provide such affadavits/birth certificates?
confused...
it has to be 2 affadavits....right...one by parents (both parents on one i'm assuming) and the other say an uncle (is there a format for that one)...
You need 2 affidavits, one from each parent. Or from one parent and one close relative. Or two from two close relatives. They do not need to be notarized as long as they are self-attested. Scanned copies are fine. Retain the original with you in case the CIS asks for it.

mallu is right. H1B status expires immediately when a person stops working. An employer is required by law to notify the USCIS about a lay off and the USCIS revokes H1B as of that date. There is no grace period, so the only chance to preserve H1 status is to find a new job and file H1B transfer BEFORE the lay off. Preserving I-485 is a different story and you are in a good shape regarding GC. Just find a new job, use EAD and stop worrying about H1 status. It does not worth the hassle and you may not get any benefits from H1.

Everybody in this forum knows this. Core IV is on top of these items and every IV member should have confidence that they will steer everyone in proper direction as and when required. Do not get panic and call for unncessary shots on this sensitive issue.
I am not sure when the CIR will pass...its not on Nancy Pelosi aganda in forseeable future... and several people already mentioned that if it didnt pass by MAY07 then you are looking at Jan 09 to get immigration stuff to happen...
I think we need to work on an interm EB relief bill ...which is absolutely non contraversial and try to pass it....not worring about piggy backing the CIR...
Issues such as h1 increase or adding more numbers need not be in it...we can include things like EAD after I-140...spouse/childer not considered for EB quota...etc...
Unless we act desissively now...its going to be a long way to 2009..

I got this Reply from Zoe Lofgren, offcourse this reply was in December 2006 when Republicans were controlling the Congress.
Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate the time you took to explain the impact of the H-1B visa cap and the "green card" backlog on U.S. employers.
I understand well that the success of U.S. companies depends on highly educated and talented U.S. citizens and foreign nationals.
What we need is thoughtful reform that supports the American economy and allows American companies the benefit of the "best and brightest" from around the world.
As you know, the Republicans now lead in the House of Representatives, Senate and White House. As such, Republicans control what bills and amendments are considered in committees and on the floor of the House of Representatives. They have taken no action for reform but have proposed legislating on a money bill in violation of House rules. Should the Senate Judiciary Committee's H1-B proposal come before me in the House of Representatives, I will certainly consider your point of view.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if I can be of further assistance to you or your family.
Sincerely
Zoe Lofgren
Member of Congress
this person now heads some immigration committees and is now VERY influential. Plus her response is non-standard, and we should try to familiarize her with our "GC backlog" needs.
