Immigration Law from Houston Immigration Lawyer - Annie Banerjee Has Just Posted the Following:
The fees for most CIS applications are astronomical. For instance the fee for N-400 to become a US Citizen is $675/- The fee for adjusting status to become a permanent resident is $1010/- Many people simply cannot afford that. However previously there were no forms and no guidelines to filing anything without fees with the CIS. If anyone filed a form and could not afford a fee, they had to write a letter. But the mailroom personnel at CIS either does not read or perhaps cannot read. So the form used to be returned asking us to send the check. You could go back and forth and in the mean time loose time or even status.
Even more egregious were fees paid due to CIS' mistake. For instance if the CIS in clear cut error denied your case, you had to file a motion to reopen for $585/- We even had a case once where the CIS collected a fee for a I-765 (EAD) filing for $340/- and lost the file. When we traced and send them the check, the reply was that my bank should ask for the money back. My bank, Bank of America, did not know how to. So we simply paid again and refiled.
Now the CIS is proposing a form: I-912 which will establish clear guidelines for fee waivers. Hopefully the form in its approved version will have no fee requirements for CIS' mistakes along with applications for applicants below the poverty level.
Don't just start spending the money that you were saving for the CIS fees yet though. Sometimes these forms take years to come to fruition. As for me, I will believe it when I ultimately see it.

Thanks Folks..It was for a friend of mine...

While filling the I-94 arrival record, My Friend did not give his last name at all . There was only two fields he filled 1. Given/First Name & 2. Date of Birth only.
So the I-94 record does not have his Family (Last) Name.
Is there any other center available so that he can give his last name for I-94 or he has to file the form I-102 (the disadvantage for filing the form is he has to send the original I-94 along with $320)
Thanks in advance.

I recently found out that someone had stolen my credit card information to purchase items online. I have since then closed that credit card and went ahead and put a fraud alert for 90 days on my credit report. I don't believe my SSN was stolen, but I want to check my credit report and also for protection have the alert so that no one tries to apply for loans etc. using any of my information.
Will having the fraud alert have an impact on my 485 filing in any way? Let me know what the best process is to handle this if it does have an impact on 485 background checks, and pending green card approvals etc.
I have no criminal history.
Thanks,
ROW

485 Received Date 7/27/2007
Fraud alert does not go into your permanent credit report. All this does it is that when you try to open a new loan/credit account, the lender will see that there is a fraud alert on your profile and may call you to verify. It should not have any effect on your I-485.
I have been thinking of signing up with lifelock.com. You may wanna check them out.

I am on H1 and my husband on H4.
My 140 is pending.
We recently received EAD for both of us. If my husband applies for SSN but do NOT use EAD or SSN for work . Will he still remain on H4?
I want him to be on h4 status till I get 140 approved.
Thank you.

Foreign nationals who have stayed in the United States after the expiration of their period of authorized stay or are present in the United States without being admitted or paroled are unlawfully present in the U.S.
If more than 180 days but less than a year of unlawful presence accrues, then the foreign national is inadmissible for three years (three year bar). Foreign nationals who are unlawfully present for one year or more are inadmissible for 10 years (10 year bar). If a foreign national has accrued unlawful presence in the United States, then they are deemed inadmissible and illegible to re-enter the U.S. for either the three year or 10 year bar from the date they leave the U.S.
There is a waiver available for the unlawful presence ground of inadmissibility. Essentially the waiver will waive the three and 10 year bar of inadmissibility. The waiver is only available to foreign nationals with a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR) spouse or parent. Children are not deemed qualifying relatives for the waiver. The first step in the waiver process is for the foreign national to attend an immigrant visa consular interview in their home country. Once the consular officer deems the foreign national is inadmissible and a waiver is available, the foreign national will then file the waiver (form I-601, with the applicable filing fee) and establish there is extreme hardship to the U.S. citizen or LPR spouse or parent if the foreign national were not allowed to return to the United States. The waiver request is discretionary and extreme hardship is only one factor the officer will consider.
Certain individuals do not accrue unlawful presence and are not subject to the three or 10 year bar. For instance, foreign nationals under 18 years of age do not accrue unlawful presence.
For more information on the waiver process, and extreme hardship, please call Kraft & Associates at 214-999-9999.

Thank you for replying. One more follow up question: Is acting without pay considered work and hence a violation ? Thanks in advance.
Yes, acting without pay is working. You might not receive a benefit in financial terms, but you are getting other benefits - experience, publicity, etc.

Hi,
I lost my job on 7th Nov 2008. On the same day I received the offer letter & my H1 transfer was applied by the new company. This new company goes by rules, so they are waiting for the H1 receipt. They have not applied H1 trasnfer in premium processing.
My questions are,
1.) What time is it taking to get a receipt by USICS? (NON Premium Processing - I�m in NY City - so probably Vermont Center)
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)
3.) Can I follow with USICS? Have they received my application for transfer? How to contact them? What reference should I give them, to find my application? (I don�t have tracking number - FedEx receipt)
4.) What is the time taken for the H1 Paper, to be delivered after receipt, by USICS?
Trust me this is so frustrating, U can�t join because of all this paper work.
Please respond ASAP.
NOTE: Also please let me know , when u had applied the same.

"Senate leadership is comfortable with a proposal to solve retrogression for Schedule A occupation -- registered nurses and physical therapists. It was through grassroots advocacy that we were able to explain to the Senate leadership just how important this issue is. Thank you to everyone who made an effort.
We now must turn our efforts toward the House."

"Rep. Lofgren (D - CA) : 16th District - San Jose
Rep. Eshoo (D- CA) : 14th District - San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Cruz

You have some nice images, but I would think they are most of all interesting to the people whose faces you have photographed. It's not my taste, a bit gruesome, but it looks well done as far as I can judge it.
I second the suggestion to upload your critique images to dphoto, use your personal gallery. I think members of this site will be more inclined to write some comments here than at any other linked site.
