Hi all,
[cross-posted to "ask attorney section" as well]
My spouse (Indian citizen) has received an RFE for her derivative I485 application.
Her birth certificate has a different first name than her passport. We had filed the birth certificate and an affidavit from her parents attesting to the change. But that doesn't seem to be sufficient.
The RFE states:
"Your birth certificate indicates that your first name is XXX and not YYY. Please explain and submit additional documentation in support of your claim".
...
"Copies of the personal pages in your passport OR affidavits are not sufficient to establish a legal name change. Court documents submitted as evidence of name change must have been registered with the proper civil authority".
We now plan to submit the following:
1. Court Affidavit filed by my spouse's father at that time of legal name change, at age 3. This affidavit was before a Sessions Judge in India. This was the legal process of changing her name at that time.
Will this be sufficient? We don't understand what it means for a court document to be registered with the proper civil authority. Can you please advice?
2. My spouse has a Certificate of Age, Domicile and Nationality issued by the State Goverment of Maharashtra that refers to the new first name and also refers to the birth certificate as well, as proof.
Will that count as sufficient "registration with civil authority"?
I would appreciate if someone who has gone through this issue would comment on the proper ways of addressing this.
thanks!

Hi Uma,
As you mentioned that I need to apply the transfer through a Lawyer, I am little confused.
My consulting company with whom my H1B exists and to which my wife's H1B to H4 transfer is planned, have sent me the required documents "I539, Application to Extend/Change Non-immigrant Status" and asked me to send them to USCIS myself.
Is this fine ?
Thank you.

He missed the important path of "EB3-I".
He should have put one more path for EB3-I that ends like
"the petitioner is 154 years old, or dead taken to crematory by his/her great grand children while the application is in pending..."

Dont worry too much. Get your H1 extension with current employer even if it s a consultancy firm when you are on project. It wont be deied.
I think I wasnt clear with my 1st post.
A different employer has file my labor. I do not want to file a new GC with my current employer. New employer is saying that H1 wont be transferred without client letter.
So I am trying to figure out other possibilities in the meanwhile.

I am on H1B with this company A for the past 2 years. Suddenly/shockingly, due to some unavoidable circumstances, the company is on verge of financial trouble for a short period of time. In case the company does not get some bridge funds, it will shut off its business for 30 days and all the employees will go on UNPAID vacation for that duration. It is not the termination of services or jobs but a temporary absence until company gets some more fuel in the tank.
I am not sure if this will have any effect on my status or not. Again, its not a termination but a temporary leave (for all the employees) without pay for 30 days.
Your opinions are highly appreciated!!!

TSC is not processing most EB3 I485. This is not supposed to be revealed publicly. It is wrong, so that's why I'm speaking out.
If you are really an undercover USCIS officer, then you can blow the whistle on USCIS illegal (supposed to be) operations...you will have the whistle blower protection offered by the US Govt...

I have started a new thread to remind everyone (who has not yet contributed) to contribute for the just concluded Advocacy day.
Take some funds from any money that you put aside this year for charitable causes or temple donations. All that you contribute is money well spent - as eventually it would benefit a number of people and entire families. So helping people better their lives is like contributing to charitable causes. Even $50 is good to start with. Hope that motivates all.
Hi Guys,
Just Curious, you asked for & posted the contribution very consistently on forum - now since advocacy days are over - are you going to post the break-up of expenses also in similar manner? That will motivate people (who can't make it to advocacy event) to understand the expenses & donate for future events.

Hi,
I have a question. I am on H1 and are planning to extend my H1 along with my wife H4. My question is, we both have EAD's and I never use EAD. My wife is looking for jobs on EAD. If she works on EAD, can she still able to extend H4 status?
Thanks

My employer will not withdraw my I-140. Should I still go ahead with AC21 or should I just do change of address with USCIS?
I will be starting my new job pretty soon. Any useful suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!
Samcam
Its not necessary. however if you ever get a RFE, you have to be ready to respond with your AC21 docs. For the Address change, you can submit online by filling the AR-11 form.

Hi
Here is my situation . My visa status is H1b and i was laid off by a well-known software company and my termination date was 30th Oct 2009 .
I approached a software consultancy and they filed a LCA petition on 3rd Nov 2009 and applied for H1b transfer on 10th Nov 2009 . They received the EAC petition number on 3rd December 2009 . Meanwhile they kept trying a project for me . I have following queries
1. As i am not getting any salary from 1st Nov 2009 , what is my legal status ? Am i out of status and till what time i could stay here ? What could be effects if i stay here for long without project and salary?
2. Am i entitled to get any salary from current company (software consultancy) ? If yes , when shall they start paying me ?Can they really force me legally to stay here without salary as they might have an excuse that H1 is still not transferred and i am not their employee right now ? I want to add one point here their offer letter states that starting date would be 1st Nov subject to legal H1 transfer.
3. What are my legal rights if software consultancy company forces me to stay here without any pay stub ? Please tell me my options.
Thanks

My 140 (filed concurrently with 485) was approved on Aug 17th. Ever since 08/17 I have been seeing LUD's on it everyday. In fact there was a LUP on 08/19 Sunday! Any ideas what's happening? I think something is going in CIS.

Immigration Law from Houston Immigration Lawyer - Annie Banerjee Has Just Posted the Following:
The fees for most CIS applications are astronomical. For instance the fee for N-400 to become a US Citizen is $675/- The fee for adjusting status to become a permanent resident is $1010/- Many people simply cannot afford that. However previously there were no forms and no guidelines to filing anything without fees with the CIS. If anyone filed a form and could not afford a fee, they had to write a letter. But the mailroom personnel at CIS either does not read or perhaps cannot read. So the form used to be returned asking us to send the check. You could go back and forth and in the mean time loose time or even status.
Even more egregious were fees paid due to CIS' mistake. For instance if the CIS in clear cut error denied your case, you had to file a motion to reopen for $585/- We even had a case once where the CIS collected a fee for a I-765 (EAD) filing for $340/- and lost the file. When we traced and send them the check, the reply was that my bank should ask for the money back. My bank, Bank of America, did not know how to. So we simply paid again and refiled.
Now the CIS is proposing a form: I-912 which will establish clear guidelines for fee waivers. Hopefully the form in its approved version will have no fee requirements for CIS' mistakes along with applications for applicants below the poverty level.
Don't just start spending the money that you were saving for the CIS fees yet though. Sometimes these forms take years to come to fruition. As for me, I will believe it when I ultimately see it.

Acting Associate Director Donald Neufeld has issued revised guidance regarding the
I-90 Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card. The guidance is dated February 6, 2009.
Previously, if an I-90 applicant presented a national security concern or had a record of arrest or presented an �Egregious Public Safety� concern, then the USCIS adjudicator was instructed to immediately suspend adjudication of the 1-90 and refer the case to ICE.
The problem with that position, as pointed out in the Neufeld memo, is that an I-90 applicant who is a Lawful Permanent Resident LPR holds that status until he or she either abandons it themselves or has it revoked through rescission or removal proceedings. Therefore, until the LPR status is either abandoned or revoked, the applicant is entitled to evidence of his or her status.
Now, the Neufeld memo provides that all 1-90 applications will be adjudicated when all of the basic filing requirements and conditions have been met:
1. The applicant has established his or her identity; and
2. It has been established that the applicant is a lawful permanent resident.
Once those conditions have been met, the I-90 should be approved regardless of whether derogatory information comes up during the fingerprint and IBIS checks. If that happens, the I-90 should still be approved first and the derogatory information issue addressed second, presumable with a referral to ICE.
In the past, some applicants have been served with Requests for Evidence (RFE) asking for arrest records or court dispositions. Now any RFE that is issued must be limited to requesting supporting documentation related to establishing identity or status.
