I went for an Infopass appointment at the Boston USCIS District Office today. My wife's case status had suddenly changed to "On November 5, 2007 a notice was returned to us undeliverable..." on Jan 7, and we wanted to find out what was going on (the national customer service was of no help at all when we called). Our appointment was at 8.15 AM; we arrived at the JFK Building (Government Center) at 8 AM, went through the standard federal security (very much like an airport) to the USCIS suite. There was hardly anybody waiting in line. The officer at the door checked our appointment notice, and gave us a ticket number, and asked us to take a seat and wait for our number to be called. The arrangment there is like the social security office...there are service counters, and a waiting area in front where you sit and wait to be called.
When our number was called, we walked up to the counter, and the agent greeted us and asked us to present our appointment letter and an ID. She then asked us the purpose of our visit. I explained to her how the status on my wife's pending I-485 had changed to "Notice returned undeliverable", and we were concerned about a missed deadline. She asked for the I-485 receipt notice, then proceeded to look for information on her computer. She repeated our mailing address that was in the system, and asked us to confirm that it was correct. She then printed out something, and told us she'll be right back. I guess she went to see her supervisor for some help (she appeared to be new). After about 5-7 minutes, she came back and told us that she couldn't see what the notice was that was returned, but everything looked ok on my wife's case. She told us (without our asking) that her name check was cleared, and so was her fingerprint search. She said that the case was assigned to an officer, and it was last updated on Jan 7.
Although the agent could still not tell us what was returned undeliverable, she pretty much cleared our doubt that a biometrics appoinmtment or something else was pending. She also confirmed that the name check was cleared.
Our infopass experience at the Boston office was pleasant and fruitful. I think one should try to go early, as there is less crowd, and agents are willing to spend more time answering your questions.

Friends,
Does anyone know if people who've filed for I-485 can claim unemployment insurance?......The client where I was working cancelled my project due to budget cuts :(....I was wondering if I can claim unemployment till I find a new job. Does any one know any non-desi companies hiring in the Michigan, Ohio, Illinois or Midwest in general?.....I am PMI certified Project Manager with J2EE background. Any prompt help would be highly appreciated.
Michigan state DIT is hiring J2EE candidates. Recently few people joined the state. Try with the state.

There is no AC21 for derivative applicants. She can join any employer at any time. AC21 comes into picture only for primary applicant. Derivatives get almost a virtual GC in terms of EAD.

I have an opportunity to do some consulting work for a company B on a part-time basis apart from my current full time job with company A. I know that I will need another H1 for the part time gig but what I am confused about is whether the company B has to wait for next years quota to file for an H1 or can it file immediately ? Meaning is the H1b quota tied to max no of individuals ? or to max no of positions ?
I would appreciate if some one knowledgeable about the issue can comment on my question:confused:

Yeah was a real eye opener, this one. Makes u wonder sometimes, whether we are really welcome in this country or not. More importantly, will we ever be REALLY accepted as part of the "American culture". These organizations are open about their "feelings" toward immigrants. There are a Whole lot more people who may not be so open about their thoughts, but still have them nonetheless.
But worry not, we are equally thick skinned. Green Card to Lekar hi rahenge :)

I got a letter from Zoe Lofgren's office, who is a Member of Congress representing California 16th District, in response to one of our web faxes on H-1B cap and GC backlogs. Below is the complete text from the letter -- it's heartening to know we are on their radar at least!
Now that we got their attention, is there anything we should do to follow up on this now?
- sirinme
================
Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate the time you took to explain the impact of the H-1B visa cap and the "green card" backlog on U.S. employers.
I understand well that the success of U.S. companies depends on highly educated and talented U.S. citizens and foreign nationals.
What we need is thoughtful reform that supports the American economy and allows American companies the benefit of the "best and brightest" from around the world.
As you know, the Republicans now lead in the House of Representatives, Senate, and White House. As such, Republicans control what bills and amendments are considered in committees and on the floor of the House of Representatives. They have taken no action for reform but have proposed legislating on a money bill in violation of House rules. Should Senate Judiciary Committee's H-1B proposal come before me in the House of Representatives, I will certainly consider your point of view.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if can be of further assistance to you or your family.
Sincerely,
Zoe Lofgren
Member of Congress

Q : Will this affect my ability to travel?
Possibly, if you leave the country prior to the completion of the receipting process and do not have the appropriate travel documents, you may have difficulty returning to the United States.
Ok so no travel unless you have AP...right?

I have a friend in South Asia who wants to accept credit card payments for his website. There is no way for him to link paypal or any payment gateway to his bank account. I'm in the US with an H1B and I know i'm not allowed to start a business or even have a merchant account since this qualifies as active investing.
Is there anyway I can help him? I'm not interested in making any money off of this.
I know I could open a paypal account and point it to my bank account. That way, as long as the transactions are < $20000/yr , it won't be reported to the IRS and all I have to do is pay tax on the interest from my bank account. What could be potential problems with this approach? If this is illegal, I would refrain from doing it.
Can someone suggest a better way? My friend is willing to pay part of the transaction fees to whatever service he has to use.

Hi there ,
I will appreciate if any nurse/perosn who has knowledge about nursing profession answer my question.
What is the process for licensure to be a nurse in USA-for a person who has done GNM or BSC nursing in India.
Does it make a difference if one has done a GNM or BSc nursing from India, any advantage of one over the other?
thanks
