Today Immigration Customs and Enforcement ("ICE") (http://www.ice.gov/pi/nr/0909/090910elcentro.htm) announced an arrangement with Imperial County Sheriff's Department in which individuals during the booking process will have their biometric data checked with Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") data and FBI data to determine whether or not they are in the United States illegally. When a person's fingerprints match those of someone in DHS' biometric data system, ICE is automatically notified. ICE will then take steps to determine the individual's immigration status and then take appropriate action after the offender completes his or her prison term.
ICE already has agreements with Los Angeles County and San Diego County. Nationwide coverage is expected by 2013.

After the appeal sent by my employer, my PERM case shows status as "in-process". Does it mean it will fall under usual processing times ? Can I expect a response in the coming months ? Please let me know . I would appreciate if anyone can give some info on this.

It should be applied at the service center where your 485 is pending currently. Attach copy of 485 transfer notice with other required documents.
Can Gurus please help me with this:
Where do I mail out the packets for EAD and AP renewal (paper extensions)? Can you please tell me whether the packet should be mailed to a service center where previous EAD and AP were approved or whether it depends on the state I live in?
Please note, my original EAD, AP and I-485 were sent to NSC which were transferred to TSC internally (by USCIS) and now my I-485 is pending in TSC.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Recently, one of my co-worker who was on L1A, requested an extension of his Visa. His employer filed for an L1B instead and did not inform him until after filing it. Now USCIS has sent an RFE. Does anyone know if this can be grounds for rejection of his Visa? Is the employer legally correct in filing a changed Visa category at will without informing the holder? His wife is unable to obtain a driver's license since the Visa approval is pending. Does anyone know if this can be addressed? If so, how?
What is the RFE?
The employer and/or the attorney may have determined the applicant did not qualify for L-1A.

I did the same thing for my husband. But since they have his h1b papers as well i think it should not be a big probblem.
Thanks
I have already sent my 485 application
1-140 cleared
In the field I94# and expiration I entered I 94 number which is on the white card on the passport and it is the same as the number on my renewed h1 papers.However I entered expiry date from the i94 on the passport,which is oct06 instead of the 010 date in the renewal.
will that be a problem..? CAN I CORRECT IT AFTER I get the reciept no or will thay be able to verify with the latest h1 paper that i94 is valid

Hi,
Wanted to know if there is any limitation on H4B visa date for coming in to US. My wife's H4B visa ends on Sep28 2009, she will travel and will be back on 28th Aug 2009. Is there any problem since its only 1 month from expiry.
In the meantime I will apply for an H1b extension.
Please reply
Regards,
She should be OK. But apply for H4 extension once she is back here.

"I lost the paystub" is crap. On the flip side what were you doing for the three months waiting for it?
Ask him to print the duplicate from your payroll system....this should not be an issue at all if he is not trying to hide anything.
There is a good chance that the visa officer will ask you to prove your legal status on H1 and you may have to do a lot of explaining about the change in status.
It just seems like something is not right here

I was wondering if an attorney or any user with knowledge / past experience with I-485 MTR can help me understand the status of my MTR.
My story in short:
* EB2 I-485 was applied in July 07
* I -140 was approved in Aug 07 timeframe
* No change in employer, etc. Life as usual.
All of a sudden:
* Received I-485 denial on July 30, '09. No RFE no NOID. PD = Nov 06. Reason stated: underlying I-140 was not valid.
* Obvious USCIS error. I-140 is alive n kicking. So applied for MTR on Aug 14.
* Convinced my attorney to request for expedite based on USCIS error. Got a letter from TSC that the expedite was accepted on Sept 11. Attorney said I should hear in a weeks time, but the letter said within 45 days!
* On Sept 25 there was an LUD on my I-485. Status of MTR still = initial review.
* Got impatient today and called USCIS. Managed to get to level II. The courteous rep told me that on Sep 24 my I-485 was reopened for reconsideration. Online it still says 'denied'.
She also mentioned that the MTR has not been approved yet. Also that she could see a lot of activity going on with my case and someone has been assigned to it, which according to her was a good thing. God only knows what is 'good' per USCIS.
I know it will take ages for the GC, but at least the AP was coming to good use. Now I'm stuck w/o a stamped visa and unable to make business trips either. Can someone share their thoughts on what happens next, if all turns out good with my application.
Sorry for my long post... Thanks in advance for your time.

Other gurus can answer in a detailed manner. I am going to very short. Chinese Eb3 have filed for an injunction stating that they need to be allocated visa numbers because in 2008 and 2009 they were overlooked because DOS could not count the inventory of EB3 properly.
DOS replied that this kind of injunction would harm other countries ppl. DOS is allowed by law to make reasonable estimates in progressing and degressing priority dates. If some ppl are left behind they cannot do anything.
Here is the part of the law which states that DOS has the authority to do reasonable estimates of priority dates and this is what was stated in the DOS response to the injunction
Congress has expressly
provided that in allocating visa numbers, the Department of State may “make reasonable
estimates.” 8 U.S.C. � 1153(g). In relevant part, Section 1153(g) states:
For purposes of carrying out the Secretary’s responsibilities in the orderly administration
of this section, the Secretary may make reasonable estimates of the anticipated number of
visas to be issued during any quarter of any fiscal year . . . and to rely upon such estimates
in authorizing the issuances of visas.
