WASHINGTON — U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reminds nationals of El Salvador (and persons without nationality who last habitually resided in El Salvador), who have Temporary Protected Status (TPS), to file their re-registration applications for TPS before the end of the re-registration period on Sept. 7, 2010.
I have recently recieved a 3 year work visa and i found the service provided by Vikas Vikram in particular of the highest order and i look forward to working with them again in the future for my colleagues
My green card was approved in Sep 2005 but I did not get the Card until Feb 2006. Does USCIS consider the approval date or actual date when card was issued for establishing the five year eligibility period for accepting the N400 application? Also I have a 13 year old son who was born in India, do I need to submit N600 form for his citizenship?
It is the date of approval that counts. For your son, read the instructions on the Form N600. That should tell you what you need to do.
Rajiv ji, I am so happy to inform you that we received our GC today. It would not have been possible without the help from you, Mathew Chacko, Suba, Bharati, prerna and others. You folks are the beacons for the immigration community from around the world. Service is Excellent, Guidance is Great, Support during dire situations is priceless. Holding GC is truely a liberating experience and THANK YOU ALL for helping us acheiving that dream.
The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) announced the launch of a new, upgraded automated case information system, which is designed to assist respondents and their representatives and families in learning the current status of their proceedings.

Update
WASHINGTON— The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a final rule amending its regulations governing the employment authorization for dependents of foreign officials classified as A-1, A-2, G-1, G-3, and G-4 nonimmigrants. This rule, effective August 9, 2010, expands the list of dependents eligible for employment authorization to include any individual who falls within a category of aliens designated by the Department of State (DOS) as qualifying.
Since the events of September 11, 2001, concerns have been raised about the ability of terrorists to enter the United States under the visa waiver program (VWP), because the VWP bypasses the first step by which foreign visitors are screened for admissibility to enter the United States.
On Aug. 13, 2010, President Obama signed into law Public Law 111-230, which contains provisions to increase certain H-1B and L-1 petition fees. Effective immediately, Public Law 111-230 requires the submission of an additional fee of $2,000 for certain H-1B petitions and $2,250 for certain L-1A and L-1B petitions postmarked on or after Aug. 14, 2010, and will remain in effect through Sept. 30, 2014. |

The Yearbook of Immigration Statistics is a compendium of tables that provides data on foreign nationals who, during a fiscal year, were granted lawful permanent residence (i.e., admitted as immigrants or became legal permanent residents), were admitted into the United States on a temporary basis (e.g., tourists, students, or workers), applied for asylum or refugee status, or were naturalized.

What is Electronic Processing?

This program uses e-mail for communication and submission of all forms and documents to the NVC using the Portable Document Format (PDF).
I have a Masters degree from US and based on the forum and Q&A I think I'd qualify for EB2 category for GC. I am with company A and am contemplating if I should go forward with GC processing or change the job. I am completing 4 yrs on H1 by this month end and would like to make an educated decision given the companies are not eager to hire on H1 if it is completing 6 yrs soon.
Can you please let me know how long the process may take if it has to be initiated now? I would be interested in premium processing of I-140, adjustment of status and EAD.
For people born in countries that have an EB2 backlog, times can vary greatly from 3-4 years to longer depending upon a number of variables. One big advantage of getting at least to the I-140 approved stage is that you can carry your priority date to the next employer and get H-1 extension beyond six years.
Prompt and professional team. Always answered all queries satisfactorily.
Great work guys! Keep it up!
Just would like to know that how soon can a spouse and children apply for a H4?
There is no time limit. As soon as you get an H-1.
Work Done: Green Card Can People Contact Me As a Reference: by all means. Comments: My family and I got GC under EB2 this Friday last. We had an extremely pleasant experience with this office. I had personally interacted with Rajiv, Suman, Bharathi, Prerna on various occasions. They are prompt in returning e-mails ( turn around time less than 24hrs). In fact when I applied for AC-21 in 2007, I was called for an interview. Rajiv was kind enough to give me his cell phone number with the liberty to contact him if the need arises. Since we finished our labor (under PERM) and all other requirements, We got into EAD/AP mode in 6 months ( Aug 2005) from the start date ( Feb 2005) for the whole process. This office has been filing my EAD and AP since ( about 4 times now). Thanks for all the help. Dr Narayana Bhat Bhat Dental Associates 590 Eagles Landing Pkwy Stockbridge, GA 30281 678-289-2122
