Hey guys
I just wanted to let you know that all the San Jose members are thrilled that other people have been inspired to hold their own rally.
We are working on a document that details what gives advice on what we did and how we did it. As well as things we learned that we should have done!
Hopefully we'll be able to post it in a few days time, but please bear with us, we need sleep, to catch up at work and make sure we cover all the details.

Hi IV Attorneys,
My wife's I-797A got lost in transit mail. I was wondering is there a way to order a replacement I-797A and how long would it take to get one. I need to take it to the SSN office as they require original documents to issue a SSN card. Your help is much appreciated!
Thanks.

I am planning to sponsor for my in-laws and have a list of all the required documents, but I have a question about the financial/property documents they need to to take. The reason being, my father-in-law is retired and since then they have been living based on he pension and rental from some of the properties they own and have not filed tax returns.
Will getting the property evaluation and showing cash balance sufficient OR do I need them to take any additional documentation. Their source of income is just the pension and rental properties. Since most of the transactions happen in CASH in India, they don't have bank statements or records to support the rental property, except for the original property documents associated with the rental properties.
Since I am the sponsor, I have got all the required docs from my side both immigration and financial docs properly. I believe, my in-laws also need to get the property and other docs handy to prove the ties back to the home country.
Please advice...

I am in a complicated situation...
Approved labor (PD 2003 EB2) from company A (not employed with them). Filed 140 and 485 (self as primary and wife as dependent). Ability to pay RFE on 140 and then denial on 140 and 485. Currently, appealed the decision because needed to get H1 extension and case has reopened. My wife (with company B) had her 140 approved (EB3 with PD 2006) and so after the July bulletin filed for 485 (her as primary and me as dependent) because my case seeemed a little dicy.
So we both have multiple 485's filed (although the first one since the decision is not final on 140 technically they might not have started considering the 485). Read multiple places that legally you can have only one 485 approved but could have multiple 485 pending and withdraw the other once anyone has been approved. Is this true? or you CANNOT even have two 485 pending?What is the best thing for me do do right now?
I have one question that whether you can file 2 I-485 or not?

When my attorney filed the I-485 last month, he mentioned the correct name and the mispelled name in the brackets.
Any comments from senior members will be helpful.
Hello Friends,
I think many Indians might have faced this issue.We can spell same Indian name in several ways in English.
I have one friend who is ready to file I -485.
He found following issues with Birth certificate. Does USCIS rejects or REF I-485 for following reason ?
1) His mother�s name spelled differently in his Birth Certificate. (One letter is missing)
2) His wife's Birth Affidavit has different spelling for Father�s name. (One letter is different)
3) Is first name enought in Birth Certificate or it needs full name ?
Keep on good work of helping each other.

My attorney has asked to send color copies of the driver's license for 485 filing. I just now realized that I have not changed my address on the license. Will that be a problem? Is it critical to have current address on the license? Any thoughts?
Yes, It is critical to have the current address in the DL. From your ID, friend_in_NC looks like you are from North Carolina. You need not go the DMV to change the address, can get it done over the internet and your new DL will be mailed within a week. Copy of DL is used only for EAD, you can file EAD after a week. Also state rule require you have the current address in DL. If you moved you have to get this done within 60 days.

Hi..
I came to US on H4. My H1B got approved when i was in India. But I came through H4 only.
Now i want to change H4 to H1B. If i want to apply for change of status..do i need to go back to india(ot other countries) for stamping? Or can i get H1B staying here?
Please help..
Currently you are on H4. If you apply for H4 to H1 transfer, you can get H1 and start working from October this year. If you cannot find project immediately, you wait up to 3 months or 6 month (maximum), otherwise change status back to H4 or you will be in trouble. Since economy is not good, it is tough to get projects nowadays, already current H1 holders are looking for projects and some have gone back. if you have already worked in India, then you may get project easily, If you did not work, then it is tough to get a project. When you are on H4, you can have peaceful life while your psouse is working, you can have get togethers whenever you want, you can cook special dishes for your spouse and wait at the door in the evenings.Real problem arises when you become pregnant (assuming you are woman), you need to take a long break if you are working,, especially if you are away from your spouse....so point is have fun with spouse, have get togethers with other couples, go shopping at BedBathandBeyond/walmart/target/jcpenny in discount seasons, have honeymoon trips again n again...Go to India whenever you want.These things are so memorable than struggling to get projects and maintaining status. When you cant maintain status you cannot go to India whenever you want....
Just want to let you know the real picture...when H4 wants a H1.

Your wife is fine. There is a CIS memo that specifically says that her H-4 status is not employer-specific. The only thing is that she will have a different expiration date to you. She would no get admitted for any longer than her visa, even showing your H-1B approval.

Haagen Dazs Delhi Says No Indians Allowed
By Kiran Aditham on Dec 15, 2009 12:32 PM
With the opening of its first New Delhi outlet, ice cream brand Haagen Dazs adopted an interesting if not ridiculous policy: those with international passports were allowed in while Indians themselves weren't. Times of India's Rajesh Kalra provides a tale of a friend who was turned away by Haagen-Dazs enforcers. Here's a brief excerpt:
"I immediately called Ramit. 'You are an international traveler, and you have a passport, so you can go in', I said. Ramit's response was instant: I tried to enter but they said you are not allowed for you don't have an international passport. I am normally not given to immediate emotional reactions, but I couldn't resist this time. I was, to be honest, upset. How can they do this to an Indian, in India? Do a story on TOI or NBT? Do it for print or Online? Call other media friends and colleagues? I simply didn't know how to react. Print would have a better impact, but should I wait that long?"
Kalra didn't wait long. He contacted local authorities and used Facebook and Twitter to get the word out to the Indian community and as expected, HD's actions drew plenty of ire. According to BoingBoing, after a fitting public outcry thanks in part to Kalra's efforts, the operator of the franchise (who ironically is Indian) has axed the policy and apparently now claims it never existed.
Kalra, though, chalks this discrimination up to an age-old mentality of some Indian people. "I have often maintained that we ourselves are our biggest enemies. Our mentality is that of slaves and we think anything is good only if its approved by foreigners, or the 'holders of international passport[s].'"
You'd need to wait till you are a US citizen for that!!!

I was recently invited by a fellow worker, who is spanish ( I am desi ) - to an event organized by CHIRLA - the Los angeles (http://www.chirla.org/) - Colation of Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles. It was a fund raiser - with Fun, a few bigwigs were also present and people were paying $100/person to enter. Although this was a glitzy function with girls in gowns and guys dressed up in party wear..with drinks and lights etc..the gathering was all spanish, and there were many families as well as lot of college kind / working youth were there...
This gave me an idea about IV and how IV is now a known organization, both within the immigrant community and now also in the USCIS as well as with lawmakers and AILA, how about organizing a fund raiser in DC - invite AILA, maybe Rajiv Khanna and maybe someone from the CIS community. It can be a good platform both for IV to make an impact as well as generating funds and interest in what IV is doing.
Maybe have these people spend 10 minutes each on the stage, with some good grub (sponsors can be approached) and maybe light drinks (not sure) - but all in all a nice atmosphere and a forum to help us not fight with USCIS but to make them understand and appreciate our pain.
I know we have done this in college and all, but a 10 minute short play by the Immigrant community (DESIS) - should be fun as well as an eye opener to these guys..
Guys, don't shoot me down..its just my humble suggestion, however if you guys think differently I am fine with it. I just expressed what I felt but it is for everybody to decide.
