Fill 131 form, attach a cover letter and AP - you dont need to include the fee as it is a USCIS mistake. Call USCIS 800 number or take infopass appointment before you refile.
Does any one know what is the process if we get wrong name in AP.? as I did get spelling mistake by uscis.

Please advice.Any suggestions is really appreciated.

� She has been working on EAD since Aug-2007 with Company A
� Company A applied for her GC on 18-Aug-2009 in EB2 while she was still on L2
� Company A applied for H1 which got approved on 08-Oct-2009 till 01-Oct-2012

� She got her L2 stamped from India and entered US on L2 on 03-Jan-2010
Please let us know the following:
� Is there any potential of her H1 getting cancelled because she entered back on L2?

Who Sizzles and Who Fizzles (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/14/AR2007031402298_2.html)
The nonpartisan Congress.org (http://www.congress.org/congressorg/power_rankings/index.tt) released rankings of the most powerful legislators in Congress this week, and just as interesting as the newly empowered were those hovering at the bottom of the list. Predictably, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid topped the list, and the list quickly moved to committee chairmen with muscle.
The rankings took into account the legislators' ability to get things done by the traditional paths of leadership positions and committee assignments but left room for the "sizzle" factor -- reserved for those who "exert or possess power that can't be measured by these standard measures." Specifically mentioned in this category were three presidential candidates, Sens. John McCain (18th), Hillary Clinton (12th) and Barack Obama (27th).
Sen. Elizabeth Dole, sadly, was not given points for sizzle -- or much else, for that matter. She ranked as the 95th most powerful senator. Yes, that is out of 100. Vying for the bottom rung was also Sen. George Voinovich, who despite serving since 1998 ranked 90th. And as if he hasn't already had a bad year (or two), Rep. William Jefferson came in dead last in the House, awarded negative "fizzle" points due to scandal. Being accused of stashing a $90,000 bribe in his freezer was bound to affect something, since it tipped neither his reelection campaign nor his ability to get a committee assignment.

The US Men's national soccer team had one of the greatest victories in its history today when it knocked off Spain, the #1 team in the world, at the Confederations Cup in South Africa. There are two immigrants on the roster for the US - Freddy Adu (who I honored after he competed with the US Olympic team last year). The other immigrant is Benny Feilhaber, a Brazilian-born American who moved to the US when he was six years old. When he is not playing on the US national team, he competes for AGF, a Danish team. Before that, he...

I talked to my attorney yesterday about converting my April 2001 TR (EB3 India) to RIR regarding the "hold Harmless" rule and he told me that AILA is going to get more info on the 10th next week regarding more info and would it be safe to convert or not.
The thing holding him back right now is the fact that some of his other DBEC LC clients sent e-mail request 2 weeks ago and have still not received anything back about Prevailing wage or any ammendments.Once you send the e-mail your case is RIR only and all paper work has to be sent by April 01 or your case is closed.Now say you send for RIR conversion 15th January and it takes DBEC 1 month to get back to you and that leaves a very tight window to get all Recruitment report together by April 01.
I will post next week after the 12th and see what he says.
As far as the September 2007 date he told me that AILA has allready found out that both DBEC and PBEC have got an extension and funding till Febraury 2008 but do not want to annonunce because the pressure all people who are stuck writing to their Senators and Congress.

The Wall Street Journal reports that DHS will "intensify" its enforcement efforts against employers around the US: John Morton, the new chief of U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement, a unit of the Department of Homeland Security, said that the agency is set to increase the number of companies it will audit and systematically impose fines on violators. Violations could also lead to criminal charges, he said. *** "You are going to see audits regularly and on a larger scale," Mr. Morton said during a two-day visit to southern California, his first since being appointed four months ago.

USCIS has reminded all applicants for Adjustment of Status, Asylum, Legalization and Temporary Protected Status to obtain an Advance Parole (AP) document before traveling abroad. AP allows an applicant to re-enter the U.S. after traveling abroad.
In order to obtain Advance Parole, individuals must file Form I-131, Application for Travel Document to USCIS. The USCIS cautions individuals planning on traveling abroad to file Form I-131 well in advance of their travel plans (approximately 90 days before) in order to prevent possible conflicts.
We suggest all applicants of I-131 to file it in time to get the AP approval before leaving the U.S., otherwise it could have dire consequences and may result in an individual not being able to re-enter. Therefore, individuals that have a pending I-485 are encouraged to apply for Advance Parole before traveling abroad for easier re-entry if the circumstances of their current status changes.

This may have been discussed here before also. But here is my situation-
I am on H1 and have applied for I-140. My wife (on H4) has applied for admissions in a couple of universities. Now, the simple rule is to get F1 visa so that you can do RA/TA during your course. Here are my questions-
1. Will my I-140 will effect her chances of getting F1?
2. How diffcult would it be to get F1 generally? Any tips or suggestions for us?
2. If she applies for F1 (but still she is on H4), can she travel to India? Or will it be too risky to travel then?
3. If she gets F1, do you think it is still risky to travel to India as she will have to get it stamped there? (Coz of my immigration application)
Thanks!

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) is trying again to get the DREAM Act passed, re-introducing the measure on Wednesday to let some immigrant students in the U.S. illegally stay in the country. Durbin, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), and Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and others will be on the bill.
Last December, after passing the House (then under Democratic control) the measure fell five votes short in the Senate and Durbin vowed to keep trying. The Durbin press conference comes a day after President Obama boosted the DREAM Act in an immigration speech in Texas, along the U.S./Mexico border where he called for various reforms.
When Durbin starts an issue, he stays with it. On Sept. 10, 2001, Durbin launched his fight to allow students of illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. at a press conference in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood. The DREAM Act became part of a larger national debate on the hot button, divisive immigration issue.

Guys
I am filing H4 extension for my wife by myself. I see following 3 quesions in the form 539. Last July I filed 485 for me and my wife. What do I have to say here (yes or No)
you, or any other person included on the application, an applicant for an immigrant visa?
Has an immigrant petition ever been filed for you or for any other person included in this application?
Has a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, ever been filed by you or by any other person included in this application?
Thanks

Hi,
Gurus - I have few questions and I need your help:
1. My EAD/AP expires in June/July '08. Can I apply for their renewal now?
2. Will there be a finger-printing requirement for the renewal? We had finger print in June 2007 when we applied 485/765/131 together?
3. Is it better to efile or paper file?
4. I will be in India from April to June this year. I have an AP valid till end June. Can I file for EAD/AP renewal and leave for India in April. Is there any risk? I can still use my current AP to enter when I come in early June, right?
Thanks so much.
