Today I will be giving a presentation on immigration law along with my colleague, V. Thomas Langford, to the Air Force JAG serving at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, California. The Air Force JAG Corps are lawyers who provide legal advice to those serving in the Air Force.
Our training today will focus on the basics of immigration law. We will be covering family-based immigration law and outlining the procedures involved in petitioning for a family member to immigrate to the United States. We will also be talking about the Violence Against Women Act ("VAWA") and how an individual may self-petition for immigration status if he or she has been the victim of abuse or mental cruelty. Finally, we will discuss the naturalization laws as they apply to those serving in the military at a time of a conflict.
It seems that I always learn something while preparing for a presentation. While preparing for this one, I learned that staff from USCIS in Sacramento go to Travis Air Force Base twice a month to interview applicants for naturalization and administer the oath of citizenship on the same day. Kudos to USCIS for taking the time to do this. USCIS has an entire website page devoted to military naturalization ceremonies (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=7b309f22ae951210VgnVCM1000004718190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=0a9ab58f71e14110VgnVCM1000004718190a RCRD) performed in May 2009. Included on it is the photo taken at Travis.

Don't panic. It will be alright you can resubmit the correct fee you have 30 days to do that. Sometimes USCIS can make mistakes even you submitted correct fee.

I-140 belongs to the employer only, so it is up-to them to disclose the details. Unless you change employer without using AC21 clause, I-140 details won't be necessary.

Good Luck.

5 years of progressive experience means that the person progressed within the company in responsibility and job duties, not that the person's salary increased.

Gurus,
I have a question. I am a July 2nd 485, EAD, AP filer and I did not receive my AP yet. My H1 visa stamping got expired, and I am planning to go to India for 2 months. Can I leave US before my AP gets approved, hoping that it will be approved in the next 2 months time and my attorney will send the AP papers to my India address?
Is it possible, please advice.
Thanks

By law, you should have the originals on you when you travel, in some cases even domestically. So, you may definitely ask your lawyer to send you the originals.

Hi,
Thanks very much for taking up my question ,
I got my visa from employer X in the year 2003 and travelled to US in jan 2004 immigration officials denied my port of entry saying employer X is non-existent and cancelled my visa and told to with draw my application and they have written 212(a)(c)(i)(i) on my passport.I went back to my home country and worked over there for 3 yrs. After sometime i got an offer from some employer Y,they have filed for my H1B and approved.
When i went for visa to US Consulate visa officer told me that am ineligible for the H1B visa. I have explained them what exactly happened in 2004.
VisaOfficer has asked to appeal for waiver using the form I-601,after my appeal to the USCIS, consulate has given the visa.I came to US in 2007 and working for same employer B .I applied for extension under the same employer B,got an RFE asking to submit aggrement b/w the client and the vendor,the requested documents are sent. After that USCIS sent NOID(Notice of Intent to Deny),gave the reason as :
In January 2004 the beneficiay applied for admission as an H1 B Worker for company X.Under oath the beneficiary stated he never signed a contract with the petitioning company X,the petition company was found not to exist. Therefore, the beneficiary was found inadmissible under 212(A)(6)(C)(I) and 212(A)(7)(A)(I)(I) and permanently ineligible for the H1 Classification.
USCIS has again came back with the same issue of my previous H1 B.
I have been in US from 2007 June with employer Y ,after going through all the process in the year 2007 USCIS has issued my visa.
Please advice me on this, any help fully appreciated.
Thank you again for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

Me and my wife received our EADs and our H1/H4 is valid till 2010.
My wife is attending school being on H4. Since she has EAD, can she work part time(not in school) and keep the H4 status valid.
Please suggest.

Hello Friends,
I am working for a Company A and I have a Labor and I 140 approved for OCT 2005 EB2 through the same company.
I filed my I 485 on July 2nd. Now I have a very good offer from Company B. I have following questions and I seek your help -
1) Can I retain my PD?
2) If yes, what are the requirements and what is the process to retain the old PD?
3) Does the Company B have to file I 140 again?
4) What if Company A pulls back their I 140? Can they?
5) What are the risks?
6) Has anyone done this and had a success?
Friends, all your help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
