While some people are taking it very easy, she needs to come to the realization that she is a *suspected* criminal that is being investigated.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, SHOULD SHE TALK TO THE POLICE WITHOUT A LAWYER PRESENT.
Does not matter if she is innocent. Does not matter if she is Mother Teressa. Check below for a lecture on the same topic by a law professor and a police officer,
Law prof and cop agree: never ever ever ever ever ever ever talk to the cops about a crime, even if you're innocent - Boing Boing (http://boingboing.net/2008/07/28/law-prof-and-cop-agr.html)
It is a long lecture. Almost 45 minutes but it can save you a lot of headache one day.
She should be proactive and get a lawyer. Explain to the lawyer the situation with the green card and how a simple arrest record, even if later she is found innocent, can cause problems.
Once this is over, she can sue the jerk that caused her so much grief.
I agree, most of these cases blow over with time but better safe that sorry.
Best of luck.
Hi Friends,
This is first time I am posting this topic here. Please excuse me if this is wrong post or question at this time.
Today my sister got a phone call from a Detective saying that she is suspecting on Jewelery theft from a neighborhood. We shocked for getting that type of call. The person who complainted is close to my family. He is also Indian and from same region. Recently he moved from my city. He lost couple of jewelery items this year.
My sister is very good and try to help most of the people nearby. The detective said that investigation is going on for this issue. We are so worrying on this issue.
We know she is genuine and did not do anything but my question is any problem in green card process?.
How to prove my sister is not commited such kind of activity. Please try to help me on this
Thanks

H1 extensions are never subjected to cap. But if U start using EAD (by filing I-9) then U loose H1 status and hence U break the continuity of H1, so in future if U decide to go back to H1B (for reason like 485 rejected), then U have to apply a NEW H1 which is subjected to cap (not applicable for cap-exempt employment).
H4 is not lost when U use EAD, it is just that U R in AOS status on H4. It is similar to F1, F1 status doesn't allow ppl to work outside campus, but after U graduate, U can work anywhere on EAD (for 1yr) and still be on F1 status and travel using F1. The same Q is answered by susan henner on the IV free conf on Sep 30, the recording of that can be found at http://immigrationvoice.blogspot.com/
augustus U'r lawyer is absolutely correct. Come on folks don't scare people..
Afaik, you can file for an H1 extension without being subject to caps as long as an AOS pending. For instance, you can take a break and go to school, and then file for another H1 extension - it won't be subject to the caps. Confirm it with your lawyer.

My drivers license is expiring in October as well as my H-1B. My company has applied for H-1B renewal in July and it seems it will not get renewed before end of October. I have an approved I-140. Does anyone know if I can get my license renewed without the new H-1B approval notice in hand? Thanks everyone in advance.

Hi All,
I have attended for renewal H1B Visa stamping at Matamoros on May 27th 2010.
Here is the complete process that I have followed from start to End:
* I have used a agent for arranging Application fee & transportation to and from Brownsville, TX.
* Drove from Dallas to Brownsville, TX on May 26th, drive was Okay, not many COPS around.
* Stayed at Days Inn hotel owned by Desi, very helpful at giving information on good restaurants around and places to go if there is enough time.
* On May 27th morning 7:45 am agent will come pick-up from the Hotel and take you to the US Consulate in Matamoros (About 10mins drive). On the way he explains all the details of where they meet after the Interview is done and how to get to Port of Entry by Walk. His first stop in Matamoros would be Best Western Hotel where you can leave all your luggage and all the prohibited items at US Consulate.
**** Be sure to carry all your necessary items to stay in Mexico for atleast one more day if your Visa is not ready the same day****
*Then he will drop you at US Consulate and stay outside until you pass the security line.
* After security there are two people checking your documents (I-797, Application fee & Interview confirmation page) and issue you a SERIAL Number.
* After that you will be allowed inside where the first process is to get your pictures and fingure prints taken.
*After that wait for your number to be displayed for the Visa interview (Takes anywhere between 45 to 60 mins at anytime), for me took about 50 mins.
At the Visa Interview counter:
Initial Greeting exchanges and then asks for the paper work (Passports Old & New, I-797 and Interview Confirmation page). She took about 5 mins to go through DS-160 questions/answers filled online.
VO: Why did you change the company from your Old to New.
ME: Explained the situations.
VO: Do you directly work for the client of your Current Company.
ME: No, I work for a client of another Vendor.
VO: This is not the way how the H1B Visa works, you have to work for a Client of your current H1B Employer.
ME: Blank Face, no answer. (I know that is not how the h1B Works, but no answer)
VO: How do we trust that you are really working for the Client.
ME: I pulled out my client letter and Photo ID Card and gave it to VO.
VO: Okay, so, you got the letter from your Project Manager at Client site. Good let me check that.
VO: Can I see all your W2's from the first year that you are in US and pay slips for last six months.
ME: Handed over all the W2's and Payslips.
VO: Can I see your bank statements for last 3 months.
ME: Gave my bank statements.
VO: Let me check all these documents and discuss with my senior. she went inside with all the documents for about 5 mins.
ME: This was the time that I felt tensed, as I don't have a valid visa to enter US if they decided not to issue a Visa based on all the docs that I have. I never felt tensed for the last 4 stampings that I have attended in India.
VO: Came back after 5 mins. Is there any period that you were with current employer and not get paid.
ME : No.
VO: What is your job description.
ME: Explained.
VO: Is your greencard petition filed.
ME: Yes.
VO: Can I see your Approved labot and I-140.
ME: I have approved labor, but, not approved I-140.
VO: You are supposed to carry all the documents.
ME: Blank face
VO: Okay, your Visa is approved.
ME: Thank you :-)
NOTE: I would say if you don't have client letter and a photo id card from client and you won't have a valid visa currently, I would suggest attending visa interview at your home country.
We went back to US Consulate to collect the passport at 3:30 pm, but, those were not ready.
Agent dropped us back at Best western hotel in Matamoros, we stayed there that night. Don't eat at the hotel restaurant, that sucks. There is a very nice restaurant a block away from Hotel (Mexican), very very good food.
Agent picked us back at 3:00 pm next day and took us to US Consulate. Got the passports with Visa stamped and headed to Port of Entry.
Agent dropped us at Port of Entry and we walked across the bridge. There is a small gate when you enter US Geographical area on the bridge, where you need to 50Cents to enter(No need for Under aged children, I guess below 12yrs). Walked over to the port of entry office to get a new I-94. There is a big line, but, you don't need to be in the line, just walked into the first room skipping the line and keep waiting for one of the officers to call you next in spanish for your turn (Took about close to 4 hrs to get the I-94, once the officer is at the counter it's only 5 mins process. But, you won't see any officers coming to counter until the room is atleast 95% filled.
After we got the new i-94 came outside and called agent to pick us. Agent dropped at the hotel. It's a big relief to be back in US.
If anybody is driving, there is a check post 40/50 miles away from Brownsville where Boder protection agents check your immigration papers (took about 2 mins for me).
If anybody have any questions, please let me know.
Good luck.

Guys this is not a post to project your problems. This is the post to build up support and encourage immigration voice to plan a campaign to address current backlogs and future backlogs which will sent in after August. Please build up support instead of asking questions. It is almost obvious the situation is not gonna improve in october, but it will go worse!!!
Cheers and keep on building support!!

My wife and me have joined the yahoogroups for WA chapter, We are going for the rally, how can we encourage more friends in WA state to go? I know there are people willing to sponsor, provide part of funds, help with accommodation and so on and if anyone in WA has any of these limitations, people are willing to coordinate. How do we get the point across to all Washingtonian GC sufferers or people who just filed for 485 and don't see the bleak tomorrow. How do we wake them up all up? We have so many employers here, is there something we can do to wake them up from the slumber and mirage of filing 485? I must admit, I was sleeping too until yesterday when we booked our tickets.

that dates being current is not an indication of you getting your GC. The dates have to be current for a long time for you to see the approval.
It is very unfortunate that your lives can be tied to this dates circus. :(
Well, I understand that. But, when the stars line up finally, I don't want to see my application having problems because I used a pre-approved labor.
it would be encouraging to hear from folks who got their GC and used pre-approved labor. Years and years of wait should yield something, and just not plain disappointment.

You can file I485 while H1 is pending. But if you read the H1 ext clause, you can see that you are eligible for H1 extension beyond 6 years only if your labor is pending for more than 1 year, or if you can't file for adjustment of status because of retrogression. Now, because you are eligible for I-485, you lose the eligibility to extend H1, which means, your pending H1 can be denied whether you file I485 or not. You might be lucky and get away with successful extension. But if the officer knows what he is doing, he'll not clear your extension. I have to add that I am assuming your H1 extension is BEYOND 6 years. If it is within 6 years, there is no problem. You'll get an extension.
Hi,
My 8th year H1 extension is pending with CIS, and my current H1 expires on June 26, 07. Can I file my 485 when my H1 status is pending from CIS?
Please advise.:confused:

Again Boomerang... You dont understand what USCIS informed about I 140 premium. They announced that until the end of July 2007, no premium processing for I 140 and all the cases need to wait.. until they finish the pending I 485 cases.

Hi EveryOne,
I got my Green card in mail yesterday. I want to thank IV and everyone for all the support during this GC journey. I wish everyone all the best for their green card process. I wish everyone gets to file 485 irrespective of priority dates and ultimately get their green cards. This is a question to Admin, i have a recursive donation going on, I would like to make a one time donation and stop the recursive donation.
Thanks.
Congrats ivar! Good luck and God bless.

I think if you can file extension before July 1st( when you are not current) you should be able to get 3 year extension..Experts! correct me if I am wrong!
:confused: My H1B is about to expire in Oct 2007 and I haven't yet filed for 7th year extension. I have approved I-140 with April 2006 PD. Should I file for 7th year ext. of H1B or I-485 or both? If I file for H1B extension, will I get 1 year ext. or 3 year ext? :confused:

The folks who strongly feel that IV should be mentioned should write an email to OH and ask him to change the wording to include IV in it.
On a positive note, there is extra publicity for the flower campaign. On a flip side, if IV was linked to this post, we would had some more people flow into this website and possible new members and campaigners.
Finally, as to why he didnt put IV name - being an active reader the past few days of these posts, I've my reasons to understand the possible reasons but since this thread isnt about the why or why not - I'd like to keep this thread to the point of send flower campaign and how we can make it more effective.
Lets send emails to him and of course, in a nicely worded request to include IV and most importantly a link to IV on his website.
The above is my own personal opinion and you have a right to agree/disagree with the same. In either case, I'd expect you to reply back in a civilized tone and refrain from any personal and/or vilification campaigns.
