Hi,
I am lost trying to find information on this.
Here's the situation for adding my wife to my I-485 application (we are from India). We DO have her 100% correct birth certificate we got issued last month.
However, since the issue date on it is April 2011, our lawyer insists that we need affidavits from her parents as well (perhaps to avoid RFEs). Further the lawyer insists that the Foreign Affairs Manual for India states that these be sworn in front of a first class magistrate of India.
When her parents went to the local court and request the first class magistrate, the court officer is demanding that we have a sealed copy of the requesting authority (USCIS) that clearly states that a first class magistrate's signature is required!
Questions:
(i) Is the affidavit supposed to be sworn in front of first class magistrate? Even if we have a corrected birth certificate?? Or can it be signed by an 'Executive Magistrate' or maybe even just notarized??
(ii) If yes, did someone else face a similar issue?
(iii) If yes, is there a USCIS document I could send to satisfy their demand?
I did try to find a USCIS document but all it states is that ... IF the birth certificate is unavailable ... then "sworn affidavits" need to accompany non-availability certificate from a competent local government authority.
Please advise :(
PS: FYI, they went to the Palghar court in Maharashtra, India.

First off, the chances of you being denied an H1 renewal are zero to none unless ofcourse you or your attorney made a error on your application (incorrect fees etc).
For argument purposes, if your H1 is denied you could always fall back on your EAD. Denial of H1 does not invalidate your I-485 as long as your "JOB" is still present. Now your entire status is dependent on your AOS application. If you AOS (485) is denied you would have to leave the country.
If your H1 is renewed, you can stay in the US for the entire period of its validity even if your I-485 application is rejected/denied.
As always, take all advice given on a message board with a grain of salt and consult an attorney.

Hi Attorneys,
Recently I have filed my H1B petition . However due to some emergency I need to quit my current organisation (Company A) who has sponsored the H1B . My questions are :
1. Would there be any adverse effect if in future Company B files H1B for me ?
2. What generally happens if I file H1B and am not able to attend the interview ?
3. Is there any way Company A can revoke the H1B petition after I resign before H1B interview ?
Would appreciate a quick a reply .
1. There shouldn't be any negative consequences if you change from one H-1B employer to another. People do this all the time.
2. What "interview" do you refer to? If you mean a visa interview at the consulate, you should cancel if you cannot attend.
3. Company A can and should withdraw the H-1B petition once you leave the company. This should not affect you getting new H-1B status, assuming there is no major gap between leaving Company A and Company B filing the new petition.

Good News for Our Citizenship clients. More than 9,000 candidates will become new citizens during 63 special ceremonies hosted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in recognition of Constitution Day and Citizenship Day on Sept. 17. As part of this celebration, USCIS is partnering with the National Park Service (NPS) to hold naturalization ceremonies at 22
national park sites across the country Sept. 13-24 under the theme, "Embrace Citizenship -
Experience America Through Your National Parks."
Highlights for this year�s celebration include a Sept. 15 ceremony for 25 new citizens at the
foot of General Grant's Tree, the largest giant sequoia in the General Grant Grove section of Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park in Three Rivers, Calif. This grand park was named in
1867 after Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th president of the United States.
Other national parks ceremonies will also be held at the Grand Canyon, one of the country�s
oldest national parks; Homestead National Monument, which commemorates the Homestead
Act of 1862 granting free land to citizens and new immigrants; and the Herbert Hoover
National Historic Site in Iowa. The citizenship process (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1131862.html) has been described as a ritual which is "meaningful for many immigrants" and similar in some respects to a "first communion" or "bar mitzvah".

BTW, the easiest way to get back to H4 status is by reentering the country using H4 visa. For which, you will have to maintain H1 status, if you want her to have H4 status in the future.
I think she/he can change status from EAD to H4 without reentering the country...There is something like change of status ....I am not sure about it...Experts can comments further...

Since Senate passed the CIR bill last year, is it necessary for the Senate to pass a bill again this year?
If the House manages to pass CIR this year, wouldn't a committee (Senate & House members) meet and chalk of the difference and come to a common ground?

Hello friends,
I am on L1B and working in US for last 3 1/2 years. My L1 visa will expire in Jun 2011. In between another company is ready to sponsor H1B for me and it will file it in April 2010. So here are my questions.
1. From when i can start working with new company on H1 ? From Jun 2010 (after getting H1 approval) or will have to wait till Oct 2010 ?
2. What will be the duration of my new H1B visa, considering i already used 4 years of my L1 ? Is it 6 years or only 2 years ?
Thanks for your expert advice.

Quick survey to findout how many people like the idea of having their passports restamped here in USA and avoid all the surprises and shocks. This doesn't need any legal fixes. It is a convenient measure for everyone. Besides it was an old practice that was stopped for "security" reasons or some crapp. It is a small step but helps with any cases like family emergency or some urgent business need to travel abroad.
Based on the poll results and suggestions, we can comeup with a strategy to address the issue.

got few answers ... searching from other sites.
I-130 does play a role, when applying for visitors visa. but that doesnt disquialify anyone from getting visa. you have to show string ties to your country and provide enough evidence that you will come back. there are cases where they hv granted 10yrs multple visas !!

Thanks, Greenways. After seeing your post I called my attorney right away. The office assistant informed me that my 140 has been approved on August 27th 2008 and sent me a copy of the approval notice.:):):):):):):)
My dirty employer has been hiding this fact from me for the past two months. I have been waiting all these days, hoping that my I140 will be approved one day, checking case status almost daily etc. I am really really mad now. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: :mad::mad::mad:
CRIS still shows that my case status as application received and pending, although there was a soft LUD on august 27th on my 140 application, which is the approval date of my 140. I failed to understand the meaning of the soft LUD at that time, but now I know. So, my dear friends, do not rely on CRIS for updates. Please check with your employer/attorney to get the latest status.
