Hi All,
We had filed for AP from NSC for my wife in Oct. She needs to travel on 1st Feb, so we took a local infopass appointment hoping to have local office issue AP. Two days before our local Infopass appointment, online status for my wife's AP said that they have requested further evidence. We are yet to receive the document for same so do not know what evidence they are asking for.
On Friday, when my wife went to local Infopass office, she was told that they can not issue local AP if her case has an RFE at NSC center, and was told to wait for the document. We are in a bind right now as she needs to travel and local office wont issue AP.
Any suggestions for this one? Have already contacted NSC twice to get details on RFE but they are also saying wait for the letter :-(
Thanks

A friend of mine has submitted visa application fee and has made an appointment for visitor visa next week.
Can someone please tell if there is any other requirement of making a draft for some other fees during the Visa interview? (I am confused because a couple of years ago we used to submit one more bank draft during Visa interview)
Thanks for your advice

Empty Promises (http://www.rollcall.com/issues/53_8/editorial/19419-1.html), July 18, 2007
As Senate Democrats were preparing to go to the mattresses over Iraq voting procedures and as Republicans threatened to stop all activity over a judicial appointment, it's worth recalling what Senate leaders were promising at the outset of the 110th Congress.
On Jan. 4, incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) declared on the floor that "last November, the voters sent us a message - Democrats and Republicans. The voters are upset with Congress and the partisan gridlock. The voters want a government that focuses on their needs. The voters want change. Together, we must deliver that change."
Minutes later, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) observed that "the challenges ahead will not be met if we do nothing to overcome the partisanship that has come to characterize this body over the past several years. A culture of partisanship over principle represents a grave threat to the Senate's best tradition as a place of constructive cooperation. It undermines the spirit and the purpose of this institution. And we must do something to reverse its course."
Six months on, the Senate has devolved into a nonstop brawl. The House, where leaders made let's-work-together promises of their own, also is a cauldron of partisanship, but at least there the rules permit a majority to rule.
But together, they've been able to pass just three pieces of significant legislation - a hike in the minimum wage, expansion of stem-cell research funding and a supplemental appropriation to fund the Iraq War. Only the first was directly signed into law. The second was vetoed by President Bush. The third was vetoed then passed.
Partisan warfare and inaction on issues from health care to immigration to energy - even lobbying and ethics reform, once the top priority for this Congress - has reduced respect for the legislative branch to its lowest level ever. Respect for the presidency is not much higher.
Who's to blame? Senate Democrats accuse Senate Republicans of "obstructionism" - systematic refusal to grant unanimous consent so that bills can be voted upon. Senate Republicans blame Reid for invoking cloture to stifle full debate and the offering of amendments.
The level of rancor is escalating now because Democrats are frustrated that Republicans are insisting on a 60-vote threshold on Iraq War amendments - as though Democrats in the past have not used the 60-vote requirement when it suited them. Republicans are threatening to create procedural chaos and allow little or no action on the floor if Democrats block a single appellate court nominee.
In January, Senators of both parties gathered in the Old Senate Chamber in what McConnell described as "a small act of bipartisanship" that he hoped would lead to a restoration of the Senate's reputation. Now, perhaps, Senators should regather there and contemplate their current level of public esteem.

While many are assuming that the public won't accept immigration reform during this recession, polling numbers tell a different story. America's Voice commissioned recent polling that shows firm support for CIR: Sixty-Five Percent of Respondents Supported Congressional Action on Comprehensive Immigration Reform in 2010. According to the December poll, 65% of voters prefer for Congress to take up the immigration issue this year rather than wait until later. Sixty-six percent of respondents supported comprehensive immigration reform before even hearing details of the plan. Support for reform continued to cut across party lines, with 69% of Democrats, 67% of independents, and...

Hello friends,
Here's a word of caution for you. Anti-H1Bs are slicing and dicing this very conversation and presenting it as a scam.
Please make sure while opening/answering these threads that you do not inadvertently reflect on IV as supporting illegal actions.

I am in my 5th yr of H1, and my H1 status will expire next year on Nov 1, 2011.
My I140 filed and is with the appeal Office since jan 2009, with no decision.
I wanted to know what my options are with the current scenario.
� What are the chances of this appeal being approved? ( it was denied based on 5 yrs of education vs 6 years)
� If the appeal is denied, can I transfer the Labor to an EB3, with the same Priority Date?
� Since there is no decision yet, do I have to file another Labor cert ( a new one) for H1 extension.
� How can I still maintain this priority date?
� If I have to file a new Labor cert, can that be done in EB2,with a different job title?

Do my employer need to file I-140 within 45 days of labor certification? Is this a law now?
It is part of a proposal to stop labor substitution. I hope it becomes the rule!

Hi,
My wife has received the ASC notice of biometric appointment. But I did not. She filed as dependent of my concurrent I-140 + I-485 case. I am wondering if there is anything wrong. Should we receive the notice together? Or it is normal to have seperate appointments? Then how long could be the interval between the notices? Anyone in the same situation before? Could I find it out by Infopass appointment?
Thanks!
