The Orange County Register has an article about Immigration related policy making (CIR?) that is going on behind the scenes.
http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/news/nationworld/article_1624369.php
Agreed that this is no New York Times or Washington Post report, but hey some news is better than no news at all, don't you agree?

The text of the article:
Kennedy says immigration bill will happen
California's Assembly Speaker meets with veteran lawmaker as part of Washington lobbying trip.
By DENA BUNIS
The Orange County Register
WASHINGTON Just because a comprehensive immigration bill has not yet been introduced in the Senate that doesn't mean the issue has gotten off the track, Sen. Edward Kennedy said today.
The Massachusetts Democrat said bipartisan negotiations are continuing both among the members of the Judiciary Committee and with the White House. The veteran lawmaker has made the calculation that it's better to get as much agreement on the elements of what is likely to be a complex and controversial bill before it gets introduced than after.
"It is the judgment of those who want the bill that the way we are following is the fastest way of getting the legislation,' said Kennedy. "Obviously we have to consider it on the floor in May or no later than June.''
Kennedy spoke to reporters about the status of an immigration bill this afternoon after a meeting with California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nu�ez and Assembly Republican leader Mike Villines. More than 30 state lawmakers are spending three days in the nation's Capitol, lobbying federal officials on issues ranging from education to the environment to immigration.
"We believe states like California are disproportionately affected by immigration since we have such a large population of undocumented in our state,'' said Nu�ez. "But we also believe these undocumented immigrants, whether they come here legally or not are a contributing factor to California's economy. We have hundreds of thousands of families that are looking forward to a comprehensive solution to immigration reform. "
Villines attended the meeting with Kennedy but skipped the following news conference.
"If is doesn't happen it isn't going to be for a lack of effort,'' said Nu�ez. The Assembly leader plans to meet today with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and he said he will make it clear that this is a top priority for state lawmakers.
When asked, Pelosi has said she supports a comprehensive bill but it is not an issue she often mentions when enumerating her top goals. A bipartisan group of House members are working on their own immigration bill, which could be introduced as early as this week.
That measure, as well as any bill Kennedy is a part of, will likely include increased border enforcement, a new guest worker program, and a computerized program to verify employment status and a path to legalization for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants here now.
President Bush supports such a plan despite vocal opposition from members of his own party.
Kennedy has spent months negotiating a broad overhaul bill with his partner thus far in this effort, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. But last week, after it became clear that there were still significant details the two could not agree on, Kennedy said he instead planned to bring back the bill that was voted out of the Judiciary Committee last year.
Also complicating the deal making this year are separate talks among a group of GOP senators and the White House. Several of the Republican senators involved in the talks are known not to be willing to vote for a bill that includes a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
Asked whether he is concerned about such a proposal, Kennedy indicated that such a bill wouldn't work.
"If the constituency groups and the stakeholders are not interested in this then the legislation isn't worth the paper it's printed on,'' he said.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., recently said she believes the best route to take may be to pass a bill that would affect the five million agricultural workers and do that as a first step towards a broader solution.
But Nu�ez said he doesn't favor such an approach.
Nu�ez said the labor needs of the inner cities in California and around the country wouldn't be taken care of if just agriculture is addressed.
"If you take care of the ags piece I fear it will be a long time before you get comprehensive reform in the other areas,'' Nu�ez said. "Our hope obviously in California, is that we can solve this problem in its entirety and do it in one effort."

In order to apply under EB1, she must be L1-A holder which means her positions before/after the internal transfer are at executive or managerial level (some companies are very strict on their definition of "executive" level, usually not for someone with 3 years experience). Otherwise she can only get L1-B for skilled worker which is not qualified for EB1.
Her best bet is to apply for H1-B, the fact that her husband is GC holder does not matter to her H1-B application as long as her employer gets her H1-B quota and 797.

did you get a letter from USCIS to your new address that they have received your address change request?
i changed my address back in last week of September and got the letter in mid october. i got two separte letter one addressed to me and one addressed to my wife. this letter will ensure that they have your new correct address on the file. you should get one letter for you and for each dependent. also, you should change addresses for each individuals (for you and dependent).
also keep in touch with your lawyer, they shall recieve one notice for FP alongwith you.
I called USCIS and created a new service request. Hope they will do it right this time.
My worry is if this is NOT FP notice, and something else, will it effect my application in anyway since I could not respond in a timely manner due to address change.

My uncles GC's and Indian passports were stolen a few years back. it took them 6 months to get a new card, you cannot leave the country. Other than that they did not have major issues. File a police report keep copies of the report and all correspondence in safe deposit box. As a precaution put a hold on your credit at the 3 credit agencies.
Hi All,
We are devastated. We got robbed last weekend. We lost everything including our green cards. After 6 years of wait, we got the cards in May. Unfortunately, we did not make any photocopies. We applied for replacement of cards using I-90 forms. Has anyone been in such a situation ?
Please help us with any suggestions.
Thanking you all.

This employer already hurt you by revoking your 140 and seems like you are not a big fan of his. Why don't you file a WH4 form with DOL for Feb'08 to Apr'08 salary. That way it becomes your ex-employer problem and you can explain your status all the way from Jan'08 to Apr'08.
I was working with a company until November 2007. I went to India in Dec and came back in Feb and was out of project until April 2008. During this time my relation with my employer gone bad and he threatened to cancel my H1. I transferred my H1 to the new company and is on project and is working with them from May 2008 till now. For the 8 months I worked in 2008 I got a total salary of 50,000 based on annual salary of $75K. This is less than the prevailing wages. Since my W2 is only $50,000 I'm worried about my immigration prospects. My previous employer withdrew my I140 application. I�m in my 6th year and just started my Labor process with the new company.
My current company is ready to help me, but they cannot run any payroll for last year, but can provide bonus for last year to make the total of last year up to $60k. They are a small co. and have never done this before.
How can we include this bonus in my W2 (I haven't filed my taxes so far, the company also hasn't filed their 2008 taxes)

It is true that the US will be heading for quite difficult times ahead.
They've just posted a $T1.2 deficit and that is pre-Obama infrastructure program. They may have to deflate the dollar in order to pay it off as the countries that normally buy US treasuries are experiencing their own crunches. The financial bailout has the affect of being a huge wealth transfer from the middle class to the wealthy where there already is growing income inequality. Plus the Iraq war costs muchos dineros. In summary, I am bearish about the US economy, dollar, and future prospects over the next decades. Some economists say that the Bush (Jr.) years cost the economy (If I remember correctly) around T$9. A staggering amount.
Canada has her fiscal house in order if not political house in order. (There will likely be yet another election in the next few months.). Canada has been posting government surpluses provincially and federally in the last decade or so, so Canada is prepared for what will likely be a mild recession. (The belief is that they'll be out of recession 2nd half 2009) Plus the banking system was not allowed to go leverage wonky like down here. So there is no big bailout, and no big financial issues. There are some credit issues but I believe that they are spillover from the US. Canada has buttressed the banks but to place them on an even keel with bailed out US banks. Scotia bank, for example, has rejected the efforts saying they're not needed.
Wages are lower and taxes are higher but if you have a family it may be beneficial because daycare and other child related expenses are subsidized. I think it is 9 or 12 months paid maternity leave, for example.
Job market is pretty tough. Though there is likely more unemployment now in the US due to differences of measurement.
Pick your poison!

Make sure that everyone in the family who has a pendng 485 has the travel document (AP); otherwise 485 will be considered abandoned.
-- Is this really true? I have heard different opinions on this. I have also heard that once you use your travel doc, you become a parole and the H4/H1 status is no longer valid. I have the luxury to use both H4 or travel doc but I would rather use H4 to avoid entering as a parole.
If you are traveling by road and the trip is < 30 days, just use Automatic visa revalidation and do not surrender I 94 and come back on the old I 94.
-- This doesn't apply to me because I already have a valid visa stamp in the passport so visa revalidation shouldn't be necessary. All I am trying to figure out is whether to show the H4 or the travel doc at POE.
If you are travelling by air or if trip is > 30 days, surrender I 94 and you can enter any way (on H1/H4 or AP does not matter as long as everyone HAS an AP).
Good Luck with your trip.

If you are running out of time to save Candian PR under 3 years out of country stay rule, then only we have to think this canda stay.
If you can stay here and still save candian PR for this 1.5 years, just get into the system and try out here in US. That is the best bet rather than not trying at all.
Who knows you may get Labor/I140 in this 1.5 years and may get everything well.
DOL procedures - We really do not know how serious that **Supervised Recruit** is, unless it is experienced by people.
If you loose candian PR in 6 months or so, unless you land there, then we have to think about it.
Now please give me green, as i do not have many; ;)

In absence of birth certificate you may get two affidavits on stamp paper - one from your parents and another from someone other than your parents (that is what my attorney told me).
If you can't file by Aug 17th, then the situation is just anybody's guess. Some people are talking about retrogression of dates back to 2001. So you never know what is going to happen.
Do whatever you need to do - you have only couple of days left.
Best of luck.

To reactivate your h1b you need to resenter the us using your h1b visa stamp, if you don't have an h1b visa stamp you would need to get it stamped at a consulate
No, to re-activate, all that is needed is a h1B extension or amendment petition. An I-94 would would come along with that and that would put you on H1B status again.

Here is my situation:
My sponsoring company 'A' was acquired by company 'B' last month and name changed to company 'B' with B's pay stubs.
Am on H1 now and i applied my 485 in August 2007 with 140 approved in May 2007.
Company B informed me that they informed USCIS regarding the acquisition(i don't what they mean !!).
Questions:
1. How is my green card process proceeds with company 'B'? Should the company 'B' file I140 amendment or is there any thing they have to take care?
2. Can i join with company 'C' by invoking AC21?
Please share your thoughts and experiences.
Dont' worry, you are fine.
It should be fine as your company already informed USCIS, these acquistions are quite common.
Get a "Acquisition letter " and a "name change letter" from your HR. This will be useful if you happen to travel on H1B (out of USA).

I think you misunderstood a point made there. Though it is possible to extend renew H1 for employer if EAD was used some time, but that is like recapturing that status and means fulfilling the terms of H1, by giving up on part time job.
You cannot be on H1 and use EAD for second job at the same time.
This is also what I have understood on doing some research; there also was a similar thread here "H1 Status After Using EAD" where people seem to say the same.
That is, once you start using EAD you loose your H1 status. If you want to get back on H1 (before the decision on 485) then your company has to extend your H1 in which case you will have to give up your part time job.
Things get bad if your 485 is denied while you are on EAD then your company may be able to extend your H1, but you will have to go out of country and return once the H1 extension is approved.
