This part refers to family benefits, i.e. payments to spouse based on your SS contributions.
The family benefits are explained on the ss website but there is no clear information about how the worker will get the benefits. On further digging, I found a document which indicates that the worker must be in the US to get the benefits.
i read that they will send a check to india if u qualify. where did u read otherwise?

If they ask for police clearance .. you give it..
Unless it was a felony that requires certain jail-time or something it's not always counted against you.. remember .. purpose is not to exclude shop-lifters.. they got plenty of those in Canada but rather identify and filter out security hazards.. you might need in person interview.. but it should be alright.. I know even US immigration allows folks like that.. so can't imagine Canada being more stringent..
I guess, we will wait for any response on this front, fron the buffalo office..
How can I get my spouse added to the application now? so taht she can accompany me at landing?
I send emai lto bufalo office, they havent responded

Last time around exactly the same time in 2006 CIR took off like crazy because of the tremendous backing of Senate Judiciary committee chairman Arlen Specter and Senate majority Leader Bill Frist (who actually gave a deadline for a the bill to be introduced to the senate floor, to speed it up) and president bush supporting it as well. In spite of all these it took the senate from Feb-march 2006 to around September 2006 to get it passed.
Now to the present situation, Harry Reid, the current majority leader never ever publicly spoke one good word about CIR, the present senate judiciary committee chairman, Patrick J. Leahy has not displayed even 1/100 the urgency nor the interest in CIR that Arlon Specter displayed, president Bush though still supporting CIR is a wounded president licking his wounds and has truly become a lame duck president (most unfortunately for us).
Having considered the above facts what are the chances of CIR happening? Its very painful to say that but I think very low. Even by a miracle (a very big miracle at that) if something happens it will be November or December 2007 before it passes.
As if this not painful enough there is a 60 day waiting period from the day the president signs it before it becomes a law. I think there is some confusion on this 60 day period (I am not 100% sure on this). In addition to it if I remember correctly there was a strange condition which was something like there would be a 6 month investigation period to determine the effects of CIR before becoming a law. If you add all this nonsense up I think in the best case scenario January or February 2008 before CIR becomes law and worst case scenario July or August 2008 to become a law. just my 2 cents. I can only pray and hope I am wrong.
Bills almost never go to the floor directly. Especially something as huge as CIR. It will go thru committee again and it will go thru normal rounds of debate and amendments between the 18 people in Judiciary committee.
Its very unusual for a bill to hit the floor directly without going thru the committee that has jurisdiction over it. If it happens all the time, then the committees would be meaningless. The whole point of having a committee is to be able to either kill the entire bill, or a congressional appointment before such a bill / confirmation is debated by all 100 senators. Same thing in the House.
If it was possible to bypass committees, then people would have floored the SKIL or other bills directly on the floor of the house, therby bypassing Jim Sensenbrenner and his Judiciary committee last year.

you might also need a copy of your approved Labour application.
I am not sure if you can get the documents directly from the UCIS becuase the documents belong to your employer and not you.
you can try through Freedom of Information Act(foia.com). but it might take a while to get the documents.

Indian work visas for US citizens equal H1Bs L1s (http://www.samachar.com/Indian-work-visas-for-US-citizens-equal-H1Bs-L1s-le2mJKhhjcc.html)
That article is a joke and more like propaganda. It says around 58K H1Bs are issued and most of them are extension - but are they not aware the extensions are not counted towards the cap...?
The moment I read this...I have stopped reading any further.
The job is first moved by the out sourcing firm and then offered for Americans...?

I recently moved to CA (San Diego). I have a DL valid till 2011, from the state where I lived before. Now, I am in AOS pending status. No more H1B visa and I-94 expired long time back. I have EAD and AP. If I go to DL office for california DL,what will be the validity period? Will it be till the EAD ( which is going to expire in next 3 months ) ? In this case I do not want to show my EAD to apply the licence. Will they accept 485 recipt notice to prove my legal status in USA ? Will they give five year license in this case?

Hi
this is just my thinking but somehow I beleive that no matter how much we try explain our side of the story the issue of immigration whether legal or illegal seems to be an explosive one....so if anything has to happen then it just might happen if there is not much publicity about it. A lot of politicians might support us if it will not create a huge buzz...
lets see and hope

500,000 Legal immigrants in limbo:
lets say (I mean lets Tell them) 1/5 th of that # buy on an average $300K houses.
That equates to $30 billion.. Not a bad #. But I am sure all want to buy houses eventually. Thats $150 billion. Not a small #.
Lets say (again tell them).
1/100 th of 500,000 start companies, of 5 employees each=25,000 jobs.. Not bad again.
This idea is inline with our IV campaign that was discussed sometime back. We can tell in different forms to the media. Somebody may publish.
This is an interesting thought at first. However, I don't think it will hold water, especially in this environment. On the first item, assuming 1/5 will buy houses is a very optimistic number particularly given that many of those who can buy have already likely purchased a house. There is no legal hindrance in buying a house on a non-immigrant visa, hence it's a weak argument. Furthermore, it's a small number compared to the housing inventory.
Unfortunately, this is not a good time to push for immigration reform. The main counter-argument you will get right now is the need to preserve American jobs.

I wrote about our retrogression problem to our senator Barack Obama three months ago and I got reply from him today.I couldn't find the answer to my question.Can you help? Here is his response:
Thank you for writing me regarding immigration policy. I have heard from constituents on both sides of this issue, all making passionate arguments. This is unquestionably a complicated policy challenge with far reaching ramifications across society.
After much study and discussion, I have concluded that the best course is to pass comprehensive reform that reaffirms the rule of law and brings the undocumented population out of hiding through an earned path to citizenship. In my view, the approach presented by the immigration bill passed last year by the Senate lays the foundation for such a permanent solution.
To address the immigration problems in our country, that bill put forth a three-pronged response: 1) it strengthens border security; 2) it establishes a path to citizenship that included fines, a requirement to learn English, and adherence to the rule of law for immigrants and their families who may have entered the United States illegally but are now contributing and responsible members of society; and 3) it creates a "guest worker" program whereby American businesses can temporarily recruit foreign workers for jobs that American workers cannot or refuse to fill. This proposal passed the Senate by a 62 to 36 bipartisan vote, but a joint House/Senate conference committee appointed to reconcile the differences between this bill and a separate version passed by the House of Representatives (H.R. 4437) was unable to complete its negotiations before Congress adjourned.
Like our nation's religious and civil rights communities, I opposed enforcement-only approaches like H.R. 4437. That House bill is also opposed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the AFL-CIO, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and over 200 other faith-based, business, labor, religious, local governments, civil rights, and ethnic groups. The common denominator of this opposition is that the bill would have had a profoundly negative impact on workers, on businesses, on families, and on local communities without making the country safer or fixing any part of the broken immigration system.
The President and Congress should look at immigration reform in a comprehensive manner to guarantee both that enforcement and border security are enhanced and that all workers, including immigrant and “guest” workers, are treated fairly and are afforded basic labor protections. This approach will curtail the flow of illegal immigrants into the country, reward work and unite families. I look forward to continuing to work with President Bush, my colleagues in Congress, and the people of Illinois on this important challenge.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please stay in touch on this or any other issue of concern.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
United States Senator

Hi
I am in 7th year of H1b now..last time my h1b was renewed dates were until April 2008. I went to india in Dec 2006 and came back in Jan 2007. My passport was expiring on Sept 29th 2007 so Immigration officer dated my I-94 until sept 29th 2007 and told me same thing that you can go to any port of entery or international airport and meet USCIS officer and extend your I-94 with your new passport. I waited until last moment and around sept 24th I went to USCIS officer on airport as well as on Port of Entry (called Deffered Inspection site). Both places got answer you need to file extention online because we only correct mistakes and this is not a mistake but it was case of passport expiration. I called my lawyer, my hr, my company lawyer. Everyone told me I cant work after 29th sept as my i-94 is expiring. Thats same as your H1 expiring. SO either leave country and comeback with new stamping or file new h1b. I ended up filing new H1b as i had only couple of days left before my I-94 would have expired. I have filed I-485 and ead and my I-140 is pending. My pd is Dec 2003. As per my lawyer I want be out of status as mY I-485 is pending but I will loose eligibility to work as I wont have any work authorization once my I-94 expires and dont have EAD approved on my hand. I hope this helps you.

may be because its government, they are asking the ability to pay :)
Sorry, just trying to lighten you up...relax dude just wait it out you should be alright. the key is to turn in as much information as possible when required. and submit the original copies wherever you can.
all the best.
also since its a govt organization, my LC juz said 4 years bachelors or equivalent. i do have a Masters from an US state university. so not sure what could be the RFE.. ability of pay is not an issue i guess, cos its govt. what other rfe's are there?

Hello,
In all the stories of INS, USCIS, DHS that I've read here, the lack of visibility, customer service and accountability seem to be the common theme.
However, I was pleasantly surprized by a call from IO a few weeks back in local office asking me for extra documents (Current employment letter as the original one was from 2007, 2007 tax returns and 2007/08 W-2).
He told me that though he had sent a letter, the letter would take a few days to reach and hence he wanted to call me up. He also told me that as my original fingerprints are expiring on 26th Feb, I should send the response as soon as possible to enable him to process the application.
Though I still don't have any extra hope that the application will be processed soon, it was nice to see a change in USCIS approach.
Hope this was not an exception to rule and we see more such behavior from USCIS that helps in clearing us from this awkward limbo situation.
They might thinking to deport you asap!!!!!!!! Just kidding!!! I dont have much hope from these guys. My finger print medical expired last year and I didn't get any letter or call.
Anyway having + Attitude and is good thing.

They can do a lot. on monday one mentioned that listeners should call a particular senators office and state their opinion against the bill, by tuesday 7000 had called the office.
Hello All,
My take: these talk radio hosts cannot do anything for our cause. They spend all the time in radio. Only lobbying works and that too a focussed effort. Our focus must be in getting the message across to the Judiciary Commitee members, then as many senators as possible. Next step will be with the house members and this is the most difficult task.
IV is doing this and the results are there in the form of amendments. On another track, Sen Cornyn has introduced a good point in his SKIL bill Section 402. This I am sure is the result of letter from someone affected by retrogression / backlog.
So, we can get results only by presenting our problems directly to Senators and Congressman.
