There's a phrase in American pop culture - "jump the shark" that seems appropriate about now. I guess in the facing rapidly declining ratings, Mr. Dobbs is resorting to even more extreme rhetoric and has now joined the "birthers" desperately peddling one of the sillier conspiracy theories out there. While it showed weak moral stamina, I could at least understand the economic reasoning behind CNN keeping Dobbs on the air when his show was producing healthy ratings. But even that justification for leaving him in prime time has evaporated. It's time to pull the plug. Hat tip to George C....

ABC News is reporting this month on illegal immigration in its "Out of the Shadows" series of reports. They're meeting different undocumented individuals to find out what brought them to America and why they entered illegally or fell out of status. One extraordinary story told is that of the Cho family from Korea. The father was a green card holder but called the many years of separation from his wife and children "torture". He helped them cross the border illegally from Canada. The family eventually all became legal under the now expired 245(i) law. The young son Simon Cho grew...

Try quicken loans. They didn't asked me single question/document about my status and I am on H1/EAD
Hope this helps.

Could anyone share their experience/knowledge about getting home loan on EAD? My bank says that, for non-FHA loans, you need to be in any of the visa categories like H1, TN1, GC, ... But its list doesn't include EAD or Adjustment of Status. Can that list be challenged to include EAD? That is, how to convince the bank/lending inst that EAD is a legal/legitimate status like H1?
Hope this helps.

Thanks a ton to Prabir for helping us out with this article. Thanks also to Dave Williams for writing this excellent article.
Dave heard about us through our Washington Post article and had contacted us via email. Prabir, who is from that area, willingly agreed to speak to him about issues faced by Legal High-Skilled immigrants

Hi All,
I am on L1A visa which is valid till December 30 2010. My 7 year limit on L1A will end with that date. I have applied for Labor on October 20, 2009 with another employer (not with the one who has sponsored L1A). Since I applied for Labor (PERM) can I apply for new H1B petition now based on the receipt number ? Please advice. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
I have an F1 visa that expires on July 11'th 2009.
I am currently on OPT and working. My OPT lasts for another 10 months.
I have just got my H1B application approved in the latest round and am allowed to get it stamped only after October. Therefore between July 11'th (end of F1 visa) and October (stamping of H1), I will be in the US without a valid visa but with a valid OPT.
I need to go to India in June and return on July 10'th- 1 day before F1 visa expires. Am I allowed to re-enter the US with 1 day of visa validity? What documents do I need to carry with me? How should I show them that my H1B is approved and will be stamped in October?
Will they let me back into the country knowing that starting 1 day later I will be without a valid visa until I travel outside the country in October to get my H1B stamped?
Thanks,
ssi

Democrats step up (http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/editorials/la-ed-mileage25jun25,1,1445539.story) First on gun control, now on energy, the Democrats are pushing Congress in a new direction. June 25, 2007
FIRST GUN CONTROL, now fuel economy. Congressional Democrats still have a lot of work ahead to get their groundbreaking bills past both houses and the president's desk, but you can't say they're not leading a radical change in direction.
On June 13, the House passed what could become the first major gun-control law in a decade, a bill aimed at strengthening a federal database used in background checks for gun buyers. A week later, the Senate approved an energy bill that would improve mileage for the nation's automotive fleet for the first time in nearly 20 years. Democrats still haven't forced a troop reduction in Iraq or put their stamp on the nation's backward immigration policies, but their surprising success in other areas is worthy of praise.
Not that Democrats deserve all the credit. The gun bill was a bipartisan effort that passed by acclamation after it won the blessing of the National Rifle Assn., while 20 Republicans � nearly half the 43 who voted on the measure � backed the fuel economy bill. Still, these measures would have been inconceivable while Republicans controlled both houses during the first six years of the Bush administration, a period characterized by the disgraceful decision to allow a decade-old assault weapons ban to expire in 2004 and successive energy bills focused on maximizing fossil fuel production at the expense of the environment.
It would be nice to think that the broad Republican support for a progressive energy bill signaled a pro-environment change of heart. Unfortunately, it probably has more to do with the high price of oil; Republicans are feeling pressure to bring gas prices down. They also rightly see dependence on foreign oil as a national security issue. The fuel economy bill would increase the average mileage requirement for cars sold in the U.S. from 25 miles per gallon to 35 by 2020, expected to eventually save millions of barrels of oil a day.
Regardless of their motives, Republicans' support for the energy bill will increase pressure on President Bush to sign it, assuming it gets through the House. Bush favors better fuel economy but wants it to come at a slower pace, with loopholes to allow more gas guzzling by SUVs. The Senate energy bill has its own regrettable loophole: A strong mandate was watered down in committee, allowing federal regulators to cancel the improvements if they decide the tighter standards aren't "cost-effective." But senators beat back furious efforts by the auto industry to weaken the bill further.
There was one sour note to last week's passage of the energy bill: An amendment that would have required the nation to get 15% of its electricity from renewable sources was defeated. Senate leaders should revive it in the future.

Dear members:
Can anyone recommend a lawyer to handle a PERM/Green Card application for an attorney position in the DC area? My employer recently got a quote for 6-8k for legal fees and 10k for the recruitment ads.
Also 10k for Sunday print and other ads seems excessive and I am trying to show my employer that it can be done for less. Can anyone please share a sample add (preferably for an attorney) used for their PERM application?
I'd really appreciate the help,

Hi Gurus,
I have approved H1 for 3 years. I need to travel to India, but my AP is in Process. What I have heard is that it takes more than 2-3 months to get the AP approved. What are my options?
- Can I leave the country and get H1 stamp while AP is in process.
- Should I wait till AP gets approved?
- Is it OK to travel while while AP is in process?
Please advice?

Hello:
I got two EAD extensions in past and applied for the same third time. Earlier, EAD Renewals took only 2 weeks time ( from VSC). But this time it is not the case. It is still pending for 4 weeks now.
Are there any recent EAD renewals from TSC for anyone? Please let me know if anybody has similar case?
PS: Since my case(I-485) was transferred from VSC to TSC, I applied for EAD renewal at TSC this time.
Thanks

Guru's,
I am on my 7th year H1B, valid until next year.
My labor was approved Oct,2007 under EB3 (all education from India).
I-140 was applied in May, 2008 and it has been a frustrating 2+ yrs since I have heard anything. Attorney inquired with the USCIS and got a response that it is still under review.
This delay seems to be very unusual. Do you think this delay is due to my education from India only. I have seen folks with Master's degree from US gettting I-140 in 2 - 6 months max. I am worried that this may turn into a denial.
Anyone has similar experiences with education only from India.? Any advice if I should go for I-140 premium processing or wait ?

My lawyer once told me that if you travel outside of the country while your AP application is pending, it means that you have abandoned your application. Not sure if AP renewals/extensions as well but if I have to take a guess, I think it does...
