the format of employment date should be "mm/dd/yyyy", or just 'mm/yyyy'?
my last day in my previous employer was a Friday 5/15/2009 and my attorney entered 5/17/2009 (Sunday) as my last day on the LCA coz my first day in my current employer was 5/18/2009.
I am asking my former co-workers to write experience letter for me. Should I let them write '5/15/2009', or '5/17/2009' or just '5/2009' on the letters?
Thanks!

I initially voted in favour of this, but on further reflection, I think this is bad policy and urge others to not support this.
Giving I-485 benefits to people without current PDs is a bad idea. It creates a class of immigrants who are neither non-immigrant visa holders (h1b) nor are they lawful permanent residents (i-551) with a set of rights that falls into neither category. The AoS pending status is intended as a short-duration temporary "gap" coverage for people who are a matter of months from having actual I-551 rights.
Essentially, this proposal aims to make every month into the July 2007 fiasco. In addition, and this is the truly horrible part of it, relieves US employers of the pressure and costs they feel now, extending H1Bs every 3 years. That means that the only allies that legal EB immigrants have (US Employers who require their services) are detached from the immigrants themselves...they no longer have a dog in the hunt, and will stop whatever pressure they are bringing to bear now upon Congresscritters and Senators to increase the number of EB visas available.
Disconnecting the interests of foreign-national employees from their US employers will weaken the political position of the foreign-national employees. We cannot vote or contribute to campaigns, our employers however, can do both. If employees are shifted to EADs and APs, with no further involvement of employers in their immigration status needed, then those employers become disconnected from the process, and the one and only ally the legal immigrant has is no longer interested. That's a horrible thing for the immigrant to advocate.
I strongly urge IV to back away from this proposal, as it is not in the long-term interests of the EB Immigrant community. I urge IV to instead focus their resources on items that will help immigrants long term, like increasing the number of EB visas available through initiatives like eliminating the DV program and allocating the visas to EB applicants.
Thanks for your insight. This is another perspective and it demands further discussion and analysis. The wait time between filing I-485 and receiving the green card is already beyond the norm and a lot of companies are aware of this. Imagine the wait times for the people who haven't yet been able to file for their Adjustment of Status. Wouldn't it help them (and their dependents) if they are at least allowed to file for their AOS? I invite the members to provide their perspectives on the issues raised by JeffDG above. Please do not attack each other. Let us fight together in lieu of fighting each other..

Hi,
I finished my six years of H1B in August 2008. I filed my I140 with concurrent filing in July 2007. I also received my EAD card (pending I140) but I never used it. The time has come to renew my H1B for the upcoming year. My employer filed I129, which was approved by USCIS. Now my employer is asking me to renew the EAD but I don't want to spend the money. Do I have to have the EAD with my H1B? What do you guys think?
Thanks.

Hi,
I was told by my lawyer that I am eligible for the 245i and we are getting the paper work together. Here is my story:
My aunt filed for the i 130 in May 18,1994 for my mum (aunt's sister and her family). It was approved in the same year. While waiting for the priority date I aged out. I was in the US on a F1 visa and went out of status. We consulted many lawyers and the one we retained told me that we can apply for an F1 visa from a i 20 I had got from a school and we filled the paperwork and waited for over a year and half before it was denied. Then the lawyer told me I can apply for AOS through the 245i. We are going to apply for i 130 next month. I am getting ready to pay another retainer to the same lawyer and invest a decade in this process. I would appreciate any information.
Thanks

Hi,
I just got back word from my lawyer saying that you shld be able to work with an expired EAD as USCIS would "backdate extensions of work authorisation" (provided of course that you have applied for the extension).
(I have been trying to upload the pdf, but can't seem to get it.
It's saved as a pdf on my local drive and am using the attachment icon provided, any help would be appreciated).
I know there are have been many nays on this subject and have asked my lawyer to provide more substantial proof (any memos or publications by USCIS).
Any comments on this?

The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution mandates an inclusive mathematical formula for apportioning "Representatives . . . among the Several states". It requires a decennial census count of "the whole number of persons in each State" excluding untaxed Native Americans. As the New York Times reports, a push is on, using Christmas-themed posters in Spanish, to urge Hispanics (citizens, legal residents and the undocumented, especially Evangelical Christians) to cooperate with census-takers and be counted when the tally begins in March, 2010. The effort is targeted beyond the Hispanic community, with posters offered in English ("This is How Jesus Was...

California taxpayers need to cover higher fees of private lawyers, who are hired by the state as the Attorney General's Office doesn't have the staff to handle all of the cases internally. In some instances, the state has employed outside counsel at hourly rates that reach $450 even while most of its in-house lawyers earn less than half that. Rates can be much higher, if the suits require private attorneys having a particular expertise.
Since January 2008, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has signed about $24 million in contracts with private lawyers hired because the Attorney General's Office says it's too shorthanded to take the jobs. The corrections department is seeking the additional help despite having about 80 lawyers of its own to handle a gamut of cases, with about a dozen of those assigned to prisoner-filed litigation.

I have been denied US Student Visa thrice before. But that was about 10 years ago in 2001. I have only 2 stamps in my passport showing "application received" because third time was by mail and passport was not required to be sent.
I have to apply for UK DATV visa as am travelling to europe with family via UK. No stayover in UK though.. just 5 hours wait each way on same terminal to change planes.
In application for UK DATV visa, should I mention 2 refusals or all 3, since there are only 2 stamps of "application receipt" on passport? Can these refusals have any impact on my DATV visa? I have been living in the USA since and current have I485 pending with valid EAD and AP.
Any suggestions or experiences would be helpful please.
