Hi,
Me and My friend developed a product, which is ready to launch. The product is very good and two fortune 500companies are willing to implement the product and back us up.
Now my problem is I am on H1B working fulltime with a company and also have an EAD. At this moment I cannot leave my fulltime job. My question is , if I can be a partner with my friend in the new company we are forming( My friend is a US citizen), also will I be able to get paid ( as the developement of the product drained my pocket, this was the hope and I think we are close to reap the hardwork) . Also my wife is also on EAD , can she be the partner? Will there be any issue if I can do that.
Please help!!

Hi IV Attorneys,
My wife's I-797A got lost in transit mail. I was wondering is there a way to order a replacement I-797A and how long would it take to get one. I need to take it to the SSN office as they require original documents to issue a SSN card. Your help is much appreciated!
Thanks.

I don't think F-1 is dual intent. F-1 is non-immigrant visa. Dual intent means, even though the visa it self is non-immigrant but it has intent to change to immigrant visa, such as H-1B Temporary worker and K-1 Fiance visa.
For more accurate answer, consult an immigration attorney.

Usually I-485 processing time is 6-9 months. If your PD is current and filed before March 26 2009, you can call and find out your petition status.
I-485, EB visa processing time for TSC is showing as Mar 26 2009. is it going to be true or typo?

You definately got to submit what they have asked for. If you feel something was done incorrectly when you filed your taxes talk to the CPA who filed it for you. Or consult some reputed CPA. In case they feel the tax returns need to be ammended you can file an ammendment pay any dues remaining and send a copy of the same to USCIS. Usually immigration process is pretty independent from IRS for most cases so you should be fine. Between your immigration lawyer & CPA you can cover what ever CIS needs.

Hello,
I need some advice concerning my application for a B2 Tourist Visa to the US as my wife and I wish to travel to Disneyworld Florida next December to celebrate our belated honeymoon:
I received a police caution in March this year for "Battery" under Section 39 of The Criminal Justice Act after a domestic argument with my wife here in the UK.
I also have a UK driving conviction from 2006 for "Driving Without Due Care and Attention" which resulted in a �100 fine and six points on my licence which have now expired.
Do either of these cautions/convictions constitute a crime of "moral turpitude"?
I am rather concerned that although I have read that a simple assault/battery does NOT constitute "moral turpitude," spouse abuse certainly does under US law.
Does the definition of simple battery or spouse abuse depend on which country the caution was received in?
The incident in question was more of an argument than one of domestic violence. I grabbed my wife's arm and she twisted herself trying to get away from me and she fell over which left her with a minor bruise and scratch. I certainly did NOT use any deliberate force or physical violence towards my wife.
The argument arose because I had been unemployed for over a year and my wife was stuck doing a job she hates and financial difficulties at the time had put a strain on our relationship. Now that I have secured a full time job and our financial problems have depleted, the relationship between my wife and I is very stable and loving.
However, if the consular officer at the embassy decides that this is a crime of moral turpitude, would I still be eligible for "petty crime exemption" (as the maximum sentence for a Section 39 battery crime is six moths in jail) even though I have the driving conviction from 2006?
Any assistance and guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
TJH 34

The local San Diego USCIS office suggests that certain remedies may be available for military families facing the problem of ineligibility to adjust status because of unlawful entry by a family member seeking adjustment of status. Most often the situation occurs when a United States citizen service member�s spouse entered without inspection and thus cannot adjust status. Current way to fix the status is via Ciudad Juarez waiver process (I-601 waiver application (http://www.visalawyerblog.com/2008/07/san_diego_immigration_attorney_4.html)).
One potential remedy is �Parole in Place,� where the District Director in San Diego, Mr. Paul Pierre, can parole the alien, who then will be eligible to adjust status. Paroling only cures the issue of admission or parole under INA � 245, not other inadmissibility issues. To seek Parole in Place, address the request to Mr. Pierre. Include the following:
1. Form I-131 (but it does not need to be paid for when applying)
2. Evidence of impending deployment
3. Proof of relationship of alien to the United States citizen service member
4. Evidence of hardship to the service member and how the situation affects the service member�s �readiness� to perform his or her mission in defense of the United States.
USCIS also has a program where I-601's will be adjudicated at the United States Consulate in Ciudad Juarez at the time of an immigrant visa interview for the relatives of service members. Mr. Pierre also has the authority to grant Deferred Action. (Regarding issues of admission for adjustment of status purposes, read Sum v. Holder, 602 F.3d 1092 (9th Cir. 2010).) (http://www.lexisone.com/lx1/caselaw/freecaselaw?action=OCLGetCaseDetail&format=FULL&sourceID=gdjd&searchTerm=hZjH.ddSa.ZCaW.QabN&searchFlag=y&l1loc=FCLOW)

Hi,
I was among those randomly selected for further processing in the Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) program for the fiscal year 2010. Since I currently reside in the U.S., I filed Form I-485 ("Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status"). Upon having my biometrics taken, I had an interview with an Immigration Service Officer at a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office. Because of a misunderstanding, I failed to bring to this interview an original Form I-134 ("Affidavit of Support") from a sponsor. Please note that my parents and sibling recently became U.S. citizens and are willing and able to be sponsors.
At the end of the interview, I asked the Immigration Service Officer if I can provide Form I-134 after the fact and he answered no. He made it sound as though a person gets only one chance at an interview with an Immigration Service Officer. He gave me a sheet of paper that had the following ticked off:
"Your case is being held for file review to prepare a decision. You will be advised by mail as to a decision on your application. No additional information is necessary from you at this time, however, if upon further review, additional information or evidence is required, you will receive notice in the mail. Please respond to any request in a timely manner. Failure to do so will result in denial of your application Please allow 60 days from today's date before making an inquiry on your case."
Questions:
1. Is there a way I can provide Form I-134 after the fact? If so, how?
2. If my application is denied, can I appeal the decision? If so, what are the chances of winning such an appeal and still finish adjusting my status before the DV program for fiscal year 2010 ends?
Thank you in advance for all your time and assistance.
Best,
LostAndScared

Hello.
I am F1 visa holder. I applied for DV 2011 and got mail that I was selected for further processing.
As I understand now I can apply for Adjustment of Status since I am already in US.
I contacted couple lawyers and got controversy advices about when I can apply for AOS.
One says I need apply as soon as possible, other says I cannot apply till October 2010.
Any advices about this?
Thanks

On June 9, 2009, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano granted deferred action for two years to widows and widowers of U.S. citizens (and their unmarried children under 18 years old) who reside in the United States, and who were married for less than two years before their spouse’s death. Deferred action is a short-term act of prosecutorial discretion that suspends removal proceedings against an individual or group of individuals for a specific timeframe. The action is temporary and it will not resolve an individual’s underlying immigration status.
In addition to the deferred action, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will suspend all adjudications of visa petitions and adjustment applications filed by widow(er)s where the only reason for reassessment of immigration status was the death of a U.S. citizen spouse before the second anniversary of the marriage. Further, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will now defer initiating or continuing removal proceedings, or executing final orders of removal against qualified widow(er)s and their eligible children.
Secretary Napolitano states that the deferred action is a “common-sense and practical” solution that will grant “these individuals and their children an opportunity to stay in the country that has become their home while their legal status is resolved.”
Additional information may be found at: www.dhs.gov (http://www.dhs.gov).

Folks, here are some lobbying and action items that will be very useful.
1) Try reaching out to your American friends/managers/colleagues and ask them to call Senators.
2) Universities are missing in action here. They are major beneficiaries of high-skilled immigration, because graduate school is typical first step. They must be concerned with not only the fact that special categories for researchers/professors is gone but also that lot fewer students from India and China will labor in their labs. COUNCIL OF GRADUATE EDUCATION is a good place to start.
3) Someone please write and op-ed piece of NY Times. They are pretty sympathetic to these kind of issues. A major criteria for publication in the op-ed section is that the topic should be current. The plight of legal immigrants can't get more current that this. Any op-ed piece will get major exposure to our plight. Here is a link on how to contribute to NYT op-ed: http://www.nytimes.com/ref/membercenter/help/opedsubmit.html
The op-ed should not be complaining in tone, but rather show the value of having a proper high-skilled immigration reform for the American economy.
4) Where are those powerful desis we see on rediff? There are many desi executives, board members. They regularly dole out money to campaigns. If they can't put a word for us now, when will they do? After all most of them went through this process.
These are only some ideas on how we can cause at least some ripples. Please contribute more and put some in to action.

Hi,
Our attorney told us to get documents ready to file I-485 as our PD of Jan 2004 might get current, hopefully. Unfortunately, my birth certificate does not have my name (at time of birth, name was not decided) but rest info is there. This makes for incomplete information on birth certificate. Here is what we have been advised to do (copied from attorney's mail):
My question is has anyone got Nonavailability certificate in case of missing birth certificate from Delhi (my place of birth), India. If yes, please...........help me out and let me know how to go about it. My parents are not even sure which Municipalty branch to go to.......they are getting the affidavits ready, though.
"Since your birth certificate is not available, you may obtain a Certificate of Non-Availability: This document is issued by a competent governmental authority confirming that the birth certificate does not exist. There is no set format for certificates of non-availability, but the document must indicate the reason the birth record does not exist, and indicate whether similar records for the time and place are available.
You may also obtain a Affidavit of Birth: If a birth certificate does not exist, was issued more than one year after your birth, or does not contain all of the required information as stated above, a sworn affidavit executed by both parents (mother and father) may be submitted. "

1.) What time is it taking to get a receipt by USICS? (NON Premium Processing - I�m in NY City - so probably Vermont Center)
==> It took me two weeks. I applied in Vermont center too.
2.) Do we have any rule in written (Official), that as soon u apply for transfer, without getting the receipt; you can work for the new employer?
(So I can show it to my new employer)
==> Afaik, I think you need to have receipt to start working. (2 weeks).
4.) What is the time taken for the H1 Paper, to be delivered after receipt, by USICS?
==> 2-3 months for non-premium.
