We have in our contract with our strategic counsel that no part of our payment to them, will go to any political fundraisers. This issue was ironed before we even started asking for money. We could not have risked our careers. Our Contributers are also very smart as you are so they made sure they are doing everything withing the boundries of law, as you're doing. It is appreciable!!!

Hi All,
I am attending my visa interview next week in one of the Indian consulate. Sometime back I came across a website which lists each persons interview date and there visa status - approved/denied. I am not able to re-collect that link
Does any one has any idea?. Basically that link shows the status of visa interviews conducted.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for sharing the info.
Was it first h1 renewal (meaning 3rd year) or second h1 renewal (meaning 7th year).
Did you do anything extra to avoid PIMS delay (like when you renewed your h1) did your employer keep another copy with a notice saying send to Kentucky CC
How long was the gap between h1 renewal received and you going for stamping?
It was first H1b ext. Company did not send second copy to Kentucky CC . On roadside window where VFS does preliminary check , vfs person put PIMS forbid in DS 156. Dont know what does it mean. also h1b renewal was in nov 2008 and I went for .stamping in feb 2009.
One more thing VFS mumbai told me that they will not allow even US born child ( even new born ) if they are not applicant. Only applicant child ( those who are for h4 ) allowed inside. at delhi situation was totally different.

How important is filing date when it comes to I-485 processing? Does USCIS process I-485s by Filing Date or by Priority Date? If it does so by Filing Date, and assuming that the dates stay current for a long time, does it mean that a person with a later PD can get his/her I-485 processed before a person with an earlier PD if the person with the earlier PD has a later FD?

07/06/2007: Hard Working Women and Men in USCIS Behind the Visa Number Fiasco
From the information available thus far, this reporter believes that no one in the agencies intended to bring about this fiasco. It was lack of close communication and coordination between the USCIS and the DOS and more or less a poor handling of the situation at some level within the USCIS. The people should remember that there are many and many women and men in the agency involved who worked hard just like you and me to do the given jobs, including managers, supervisors, and other higher ups. The agencies should take this fiasco as a good opportunity to learn a lesson on what could go wrong in the management of immigration services and responsibilities affecting hundreds and thousands of other human beings. This reporter has been visiting the field offices, particularly Nebraska Service Center and other local field offices, almost every single year for over past 20 years and have met the "human" faces of hard working officers and other workers working in tiny cubicles and facilities that cannot be described as fancy offices but more or less factories and plants. When I report the current news, this reporter sees the faces of the women and men that I have met who worked in the not necessarily fit office space and environment. Without doubt, the current fiasco should be one way or another corrected and prevented in the future. However, the people should not take this opportunity to dehumanize the current event and easily demonize other people with no faces. Probably this is the time when these women and men need most an emotional support and boost from their invisible customers. After all, things will go through the legal process or other processes to correct the mistake. Low morale of these women and men will help no purposes and causes. On behalf of our readers, we want to send a big "CHEER UP" to these women and men!

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Senator Sessions cannot leave his hands off of E-Verify. Now in "stealth" mode, Senator Sessions has slyly introduced an E-Verify amendment (SB 1371) during today's full Senate vote on the DHS appropriations bill.
The Sessions amendment calls for a permanent reauthorization of the Basic Pilot/E-Verify program, and mandates its use for all federal contractors and subcontractors - including the verification of all existing employees. This amounts to a massive expansion of a program that is still not ready for prime-time.
We must call our Senators and tell them to oppose this sneak attack by Senator Sessions for the following reasons:
It would impose exorbitant costs on businesses at a time when our economy is most vulnerable:
An economic analysis commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
concluded that the net societal costs of the program would be $10 billion a year
� a cost that would be felt disproportionately by small businesses. It would make Basic Pilot/E-Verify permanent without addressing its well documented database inaccuracies:
A 2007 independent evaluation of the program commissioned by DHS found that
the Basic Pilot/E-Verify database �is still not sufficiently up to date� to meet
the requirements for �accurate verification.�
SSA has estimated that if Basic Pilot/E-Verify were to become mandatory and
the databases were not improved, SSA database errors alone could result in 3.6
million workers a year being misidentified as not authorized for employment.
This would result in 6 out of every 100 workers having to visit an SSA office to
correct their records or lose their job.
It would force workers and businesses to pay a high price for Basic Pilot/E-Verify's inaccuracies:
Queries submitted to Basic Pilot/E-Verify by Intel Corporation in 2008 resulted
in nearly 13 percent of all workers being initially flagged as unauthorized for
employment. All of these workers were cleared by Basic Pilot/E-Verify as
work-authorized, but only after �significant investment of time and money�
and �lost productivity.�We urge all AILA members to call their Congressman today and oppose the Sessions amendment (SB 1371). Don't let Senator Session's stealth tactics create a nationwide crisis for employers!

Walk into near by ASC with your FP notice, explain the situation, they will be able to accomadate you for FP. I read in the forum Wednesday's are usually good for walk-ins. Good Luck!
Dear Friends, I may be repeat the question which may asked by some one before, plz bear with me.
we received FP notice for me and spouse (not yet for kid (<5) ) which scheduled in Nov-24 at Charlotte, NC and we moved to CA months back.
1. do we need to call USCIS to change the location and date ?.
2. or can we go directly to the nearest ASC and request for it , showing the FP notice ?.
3. I have updated the address in USCIS using online AR-11 already.
Plz share your experience/advise...
thanks,

Dear Friends
I have a friend who is currently on H1B, currently on vacation in home-country, and stuck in PIMS verification.
1. he has H1B from current employer (valid till 2009) - Employer1.
2. another H1B from previous employer - Employer2. Previous employer ready to hire him again.
3. His spouse filed for his GC and his EAD, AP has already been received. Spouse has approved PERM, pending i140 and pending AOS.
He came on H4, converted to H1B (with Employer2), then switched to Employer1. Then went on vacation, and appeared for H1 re-stamping interview with i797, documents provided by current employer (Employer1).
Now he is stuck in PIMS verification, and the current employer want him to join asap and threatening to terminate her employment.
Assuming that current employer does not revoke H1B, but terminates him, can you help answer following doubts -
[A] validity of such a stamp on passport -
Q1. Will the visa stamp (with current employer) be vaild?
Q2. Previous employer hasn't revoked the H-1B, will that still be usable for jobs, re-entry?
[B] Re-entry
Q3. Inspite of termination, can the stamp and i797 of the current employer valid for re-entry?
Q4. Should he rather use i797 of the previous employer + passport (with stamp of current employer) for re-entry? Previous employer can provide offer letter and job description etc.? Is this route valid and will they allow re-entry on this?
Q5. Though he wants to continue on H-1B, but if his current situation may result in violation of any provisions, should he rather use Advance parole to re-enter?
THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE FOR ALL YOUR RESPONSES!!!!

No issues, as long as the job/position is still available (waiting) for the primary applicant.
if the primary applicant my spouse can take the extended leave on child care that is sanctioned by the employer
