Hello.
I can't find an optimal place to put this question, so I'll put it here.
According to this web page:
IMBRA, HR3402 questionaire (http://www.heartofasiaonline.com/hr3402.php)
If I don't use a compliant marriage broker to meet my fiance, then my K1 visa gets denied, automatically, because I met via a "black market" broker, for lack of a better term.
Is that true, or is he just trying to scare me into using HIS service? I've read the ENTIRE text of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (it's not a very big statute to read; it's a subsection of a much larger act), and it never says anything about how I should get denied to sponsor my fiance's visa because my BROKER didn't conduct the background checks.
I wouldn't be this concerned if it weren't for the fact that there are very few sites that seem to comply with IMBRA's criminal background check regulations. I have no problem telling the woman that I'm not a criminal (I've got nothing to hide), but why should I be denied the right to marry her, forever and ever, with no recourse, since the damage has already been done, because my BROKER messed up?
The only negative consequence I've read in this act is that the broker has to pay a fine if he doesn't conduct the background checks. Whoopdie doo! What does that have to do with me?! As long as I get the visa for my soul mate, I could care less what happens to my broker; he's done his job as far as I'm concerned.
Is my intuition correct? If that web page is true, can you refer me to the exact clause that states that meeting via a non-compliant broker constitutes an automatic visa rejection?

I think you should apply for H1 extensions about 6 months in advance even if u have applied for AOS. Your driver license might also expire with your H1-b and to renew your license you will need approved H1-Extension. Also just in case something goes wrong with your AOS application and it gets denied, you might be out of status.
I would strongly suggest that you apply for H1-Extension well in advance just to be on safe side.

I have read on this forum and an immigration lawyer also confirmed to me that knowing the I40 receipt number itself is enough. She said that I can print out the case status of I140 approval from USCIS website and use it. Though I did not take the job offer for which I needed this information so I have not used it.
FOIA should not take 8 months.. I applied for it at end of Jun and my number was around 3900 and it is now around 800 so I expect to get it in next 1 month so FOIA should give you copy of I140 in approximately 3-4 months.

There is a quirk in the SSA software! I applied for SSN for my two sons on August 31, 2007. Two weeks later I got the card in the mail for one son. After waiting another three weeks I went back to the SSA office and found that the application for the second son had been deleted! I was asked to resubmit the application which I did. After two weeks the card arrived in the mail but guess what? The card had my second son's names but the SSN already assigned to the first son.
Another trip to the SSA office revealed that their system would assume it's the same person if the first three letters of the first name and the first three letter of the last name as well as address match! Who would design such a matching algorithm? Why did they not match on birth date as well?
Anyway, I went back to the SSA office today and a new number is yet to be assigned to my second son! I was told the application is now with their headquarters where someone will manually assign the number.

that is right. NIW - exceptional ability
So what are the details for this category.
By the way, where are the details on eb2 physician application procedure given in USCIS website? USCIS website mentions it and says, "Read more about this particular program", but there are no links to it. I searched and couldn't find anything related to that.
i'm presuming you are not talking about a physician NIW but and exceptional ability category?

Please note that an I-485 approval invalidates the H-1B visa.
I would travel to the US before Advanced Parole expiry to obtain the GC and return. I am not sure of any exceptions - please post the question in 'Ask a Lawyer' section ASAP.

I am currently on H1-B, however, I was not staffed on any project and hence was not paid for the past one year and two months. Now I want to apply for a change of status to H4 and found that I may need to provide recent pay stubs for 2-3 months. I was not aware of the rule that in such case one should file a COS within 180 days of H1-B activation. I spoke to my employer about this and he asked me to file for a COS without submitting any pay stubs. In case a RFE comes asking for pay stubs etc, he said we would provide a letter stating that due to personal family problems and relocation problems I was not able to join any project.
In fact my employer informed me that there were 5 other employees who had the same case recently. All of them had applied for a change of status without any pay stubs and only one of them got an RFE and the above stated letter was sufficient for the RFE response and the COS was subsequently successful.
I wanted to get advice for the best course of action for filing my Change of Status.

My I140 is approved and my I485/EAD/AP was applied last month and nothing is approved yet.
The company finances are not looking good , if I lose the job then what would happen to my GC application. I am hoping to get EAD before company pulls the wire on me though.
What would be my best options. Please reply ASAP

My Lawyer said that the Premium Processing for I-140 will be again available from 08/16/2007, he said he knows that 100%. Did someone have some information about this ??. Can this be true??
No...but that is very interesting.
if this comes true, then please share this lawyer's name on these forums so that everyone can benefit from his/her info channel into the USCIS.

Not sure if I posted this on right forum....
I'm at 485/EAD stage. not on H1b anymore. I recently badly sprained and fractured my ankle/foot. Am considering taking a leave for maybe two weeks from work.
Question: does going on short term disability and getting benefits from the state have any adverse effect on the immigration process?
Please let me know. Thanks.
