As per my knowledge you do not need a transit visa for Dubai and Abu Dhabi. I traveled to India recently through Abu Dhabi and did not need one.

Dear DC/MD/VA Members:
We have come to a point where lot of friends would be joining us. I would encourage all of DC/MD/VA members to open their houses to host or support financially or donate miles or do anything that would minimize the expenses for our fellow friends and make them welcome.
More than that I would like to emphasize that we need to participate in large numbers volunteering and make this event a grand success.
@All IV Members:

Several reasons, some of which were mentioned. You need Adobe Acrobat to edit the document. PDF format is cross platform. To view the pdf output all you need is the free plug-in. In other words, if I created the document in Illustrator and "printed it" to a pdf file, you would not need Illustrator to view the contents.

Ever heard of the adage - 'Too many cooks spoiled the broth'. If every one here starts creating their own 'Action Items' here, confusion will abound - which one is Official (IV sponsored) and which is is proposed by an individual member!
If you're interested in creating 'Action Items' of your own - join the State Chapters, share your ideas with other members and chapter leaders. If there's enough support for it in the group, chapter leaders will take it up with the Core. Once sanctioned by the core, it will become a real 'Action Item' on IV.
Lets follow this process, for the benefit of all and to avoid confusions.

Hi,
Got a 1-797 Notice of Action today in Mail for my pending I-485 and the Notice Type: WELCOME NOTICE: SECTION: Adjustment as direct beneficiary of immigrant petition.
In the details section it says" Welcome to United States"...your application for permanent residence has been approved...we will soon mail you a new Permananet Resident Card....
HOWEVER, the online status still shows "Case pending" and NO LUD update.
1. Any reason to get concerned as the online case status still show it as Pending altough I see approval in Mail Notice?
2. Should i call customer service?
3. How long typically the card in mail takes?
Congratulations!!!
Online updateds are done in batch jobs in the night.
So i guess you should see change in online status tomorrow if not call customer service.

Hi All,
I had a question regarding the relationship between the number h1b transfers and green card process. I've heard some people say that if you have transferred H1b to many companies then the green card process will be delayed because USCIS needs to be convinced that you will be continuing with the same employer. Is this true or does it really not matter how many times you change employers it doesn't effect the green card process.
I have already transferred once. I am thinking of transferring one or possible two more times but am just worried about how this will effect the green card application process.
Thanks,
Purushotham Nayak

I would like to file my PERM through a good immigration lawyer in bay area. Does anyone have any recommendation? Has anyone used Indu law firm?
Some of the big names like fragomen etc seem to handle mostly company cases and are too expensive for individual case filing.
Also how much is the charge typically for the whole GC process or PERM. I know it would vary depending on lawyers but i am looking to get some general idea on how much people on the Forum have spent filing their cases from GOOD lawyers.
I am going thru Indu Law Firm.. She / Her Assistances are well orgnized (firm)

Hi guys.
I have been looking at several options on a new lens. I don't have a big budget to go out and buy the lens I really want, and looking around it seems that Olympus doesn't have a very wide selection of affordable lenses. I have an Olympus E-Volt 500, and I did see that I can get an adapter ring that would allow me to use any lens that will work with a Nikon Digital Camera. My question is....would using an adapter ring to use other brands of lenses detract from the quality of my images, and would it take away from the speed of the lens?
Thanks for the input.

Hello There,
Thank you taking time to go through the details.
My green card application is family based and my spouse is a primary applicant. I have a EAD as of now and I recently got laid off on January 15th 2010. My H1B VISA expired on January 23rd 2010.
Issue: I recently applied for Advance parole and got rejected. Reason was given that my I-485 is administratively closed.
My laywer has suggested that I should immediately apply for H4 to save my status. I am really not sure what to do here. I am sure I will find a job in about 2 weeks but not sure if I will be able to get my H1B renewed or will be able to get a new H1B as I have already been counted towards the quota once.
I also read that it depends on the approval of I-130 but in my case I couldn't find I-130 for myself, even though there is one for my spouse which was approved in 2007.
My questions are:
1: What steps should I take to save my immigration status?
2. My EAD is not denied yet, should I start working on EAD or apply for H1B right away?
3. Can my H1B be renewed as it has already expired?
4. I have had a EAD for over a year and all of a sudden it may get canceled. Is there a way I can appeal somewhere as a mistake was made my immigration itself?
5. Have you experienced any cases similiar to mine and what were the outcomes?
Please, let me know your thoughts as your expertise can certainly help me save my career.
Thank you again for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Gursharan

Six years of my H1B expires on Oct 2010. Company A had filed my PERM in April 2009. I was laid off by Company A in Jan 2010. I found another employment and joined Company B in Feb 2010. Company B has filed for H1B transfer with 2 months recapturing while I was outside US thus possibly a visa date of Dec 2010. I've read in this forum that Company B can ask for 7th year extension based on pending LC for more than 365 days with Company A. But my LC from Company A was approved in Feb 2010. Company A will not file I-140 for me. Can someone please tell me if it is still possible for 7th year extension with approved PERM but no pending I-140?

does the employment letter have to be exactly in the same format as described in 'filing your 485 on your own thread' or can it be a simple letter stating the job title, salary, responsibilities etc?........is it ok to file 485 on my own eventhough the rest of the process was handled by attorney?.......for any immigration matters my company just forwards me to their lawyer.......and there is chance the lawyer might get pissed off if I file 485 on my own.......any ideas?
It can be in any format as long as it lists your title and duties exactly as it is stated in your labor certification.

I have an employee who was a student and then got employment authorization. She asked me to begin the process of getting her an H1B; but then we determined that she really wanted a green card. Can I use the LCA I got for her H1B to apply for her I-i40?

I am having a proiblem with the I140 approval and I485 visa requested in wrong category. My Labor Certification is filed in EB3( BS with 2 plus years of experience). The company does not want to take risk hence filed in EB3 category.
After the labor certification is approved I filed my I140 in EB2 with the appropriate documentation qualifying for the upgraded/change position with additional skills and my I140 got approved in EB2 and the approval has 203 (b) 2.
After filing I485, interview is scheduled and the officer satisfied that the documents are sufficient and I am approveable the Immigration Officer requested visa number and came back saying no visa number is available hence we need to wait. At the time of interview(Ocotber 2005) both EB3 and EB2 are retrogressed. The officer did not give any sort of documents hence did not know anything such what category he requested what code did he use.
In July 27th the Immigration Officer mentioned that the previous officer requested the visa number in EB3(E37). I spoke with an attorney who said that it is possible to change and hence taken the steps to correct the error/mistake of wrong EB Category.Because of this wrong category I did not get visa number.
What are my chances that the USCIS goes back and corrects the error and put back in EB2 and request number in E21 or E26.I already sent the letters of my I140 approval, receipt of I140. What process should I take apart from reaching out CIS Ombudsman, Congresswoman,Senator,self letter addressing to the USCIS about the error and the potential long waiting periods for no fault of mine.
Any suggestions?

No Not an option at all. I wish there was an option for USCIS/DOS to recapture wasted visa numbers. Same with the PBEC. The only thing that can provide relief to every one is legislative action. Please actively take part in the DC rally to get legislative relief.

Hi ,
One of my friends applied for his GC thru a consulting company which he does not work for...He used to work for the company but left that company before he decided to file with them...Since he has good relations with the company, they decided to file for him.
The company recently filed his I140 but they got a RFE on I140. INS wants to know why does the company want to hire him and why he left the company in the first place..does anyone in the forum has a similar experience to share...The RFE is actually for the conmpany but the owner wants my friend to write a letter and mail it to the lawyer. Any help is appreciated.
First, employer or his agent only reply to RFE, not your friend.
Second, it is a simple stright forward RFE, unless INS found some fishy thing (or doubting as it is a bonafide sponsership) as employee not working for sponser. May be they are trying to control future employee loop hole. Employer can write the reason why he left and why they want to hire him back. It is a strightforward easy question to answer.
