Hello Friends :
I recd. an email from my attorney this evening stating that "We have mailed you the FOIA request for your and your spouse's signature."
This doesnt make any sense to me, as to what does FOIA mean to start with. So I emailed them back asking, what does it mean and is it something to do like RFE towards my AOS papers filed on 2nd July,2007 (no checks cashed yet, no info in system yet).
My Attorney replied back stating that - "We have filed for full copies of your petitions to be sent to us. The FOIA will allow us to obtain a copy to check the integrity of the filing for our records. Looks like, it will be several years before these I-485 petitions are actually reviewed by the Service unless we see a change in the law. ."
What does this all mean? I am so confused....
Pls. advise me. Thanks a lot

An investigative report by National Public Radio today sheds light on the behind-the-scenes effort to help draft and pass Arizona�s immigration law SB1070 by the private prison industry. Private prison corporations like the Corrections Corporation of America, the Geo Group and Management and Training Corporation have funneled tens of thousands of dollars to the 30 legislative co-sponsors of SB 1070.
Think Progress also highlighted reports that the billion-dollar Corrections Corporation of America � the largest private prison company in the country has directed money to legislators sponsoring Arizona-like immigration bills across the country. Following is a statement by Ali Noorani, Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum, a non-partisan, non-profit, pro-immigrant advocacy organization in Washington.
�Today�s revelations show that immigrant detention in America is not driven by justice but by the private prison industry looking to make a buck off the imprisonment of nannies and landscapers. Taxpayer money is being used to expand and establish a steady source of income for the prison industrial complex which is clearly benefiting from a broken immigration system that feeds immigrants into the detention system.
The true motives behind the controversial Arizona�s immigration law were not about increasing security or addressing Arizona�s immigration problems, the goal was to enhance the prison industry�s bottom line.
We cannot simply detain and deport our way out of our immigration problem. This report should sound the alarm bells over the urgent need to restore order, integrity and accountability to our immigration system.

yeah it does seem a bit un-alive. but i'm glad you like it man. Kirupa usually writes back and says - i've added it up when he likes a stamp. He will in time, no doubt but because of various contests that are taking place, perhaps he is very busy. In fact I am trying to think up a competition for him at the moment, but they all seem to have been done at some point in the past - t shirt etc. Perhaps the most obvious idea for a competition on a forum such as this would be a web page design? give people some guidlines and let them design a nice webpage in a sort of css style - but give them a title or ficticious company (perhaps something like - The new official site for Elvis and Graceland) - even if it is not an actual scripted site in html - only a jpg? but god knows who would give out prizes for such a contest. In the recent magazine cover competition (which i am a judge for) someone has offered considerable prizes. Maybe Kirupa could contact lisa marie and ask her ;)

First, submit a change of address form on USCIS web site for you and your wife. Have all of your receipts ready - after the general change of address form you will need to submit one for every petition (!) you have pending.
After you receive all of the change of address confirmations from USCIS (takes about a week), make an InfoPass appointment or juggle the call center system into transferring to your service center to talk to an immigration officer - please make sure all of your addresses got changed.
Don't forget to foreward mail at the post office.
I applied under EB2-NIW on July 28, 2007. Under the concurrent filing allowed at that time, I submitted NIW, I-140, I485, and EAD applications for me and my wife. I have changed jobs, and joined a new company last week.
Since I filed a self-petition, my application should not be directly affected by this move. However what do I need to do to inform uscis about this change, so that my receipts/EAD etc. do not go to the wrong place, or worse, get returned by the post office.
Please advice. Any additional info/experience would be great.

No you are not required to file a separate petition for your husband. When your sister files the I-130, she needs to put your husband's name on the same form.
When you file DS-230, Each family member that is eligible to travel to the United States with you under this visa classification is required to complete the DS-230 Part I. So separate DS-230 are required for you and your husband.
1. If you are a U.S.citizen you must file a separate Form I-130 for each eligible relative. You may file a Form I-130 for:
A. Your husband or wife;
B. Your unmarried child under age 21;
C. Your unmarried son or daughter age 21 or older;
D. Your married son or daughter of any age;
E. Your brother(s) or sister(s) (you must be age 21 or older);
F. Your mother or father (you must be age 21 or older).
If your relative qualifies under paragraph 1(C), 1(D), or 1(E) above, separate petitions are not required for his or her husband or wife or unmarried children under 21 years of age.

Guys as the administrator (pappu) pointed out... we really need to be short and sweet and to the point... mixing issues will only create confusion and we will all look unorganized...
***admin's I used your template but tried to add some more personal touch to express what we all are dealing with, hope it's ok:
When you call stick to something as simple as:
My name is ____ and I am calling from [city], in the state of [State]. I am a member of a group called Immigration Voice – that represents LEGAL skilled immigrants.
I've been patiently waiting for ___ Years for my green card now, I came here legally and have always followed all laws of this land... I'm really disappointed and disheartened by what I see and read about the immigration reform bill.
All I ask is... (discuss all 3 issues or even 1 that you think will keep it simple and get your point across)
1) INCREASE the number of EMPLOYMENT-BASED green cards for LEGAL skilled immigrants who are currently backlogged. We request the Senate to ELIMINATE the backlogs BEFORE starting a new merits based system.
2) Urge the Senator to AMEND section 501(b) and INCREASE the number of EMPLOYMENT-BASED green cards for LEGAL skilled immigrants from 140,000 to a higher number to ELIMINATE the current backlogs, the SAME way the bill REDUCES backlogs for family-based immigrants in section 501(a).
3) Oppose the senate’s immigration bill in its current form because it reduces the number of green cards for legal skilled immigrants. It diverts these green cards to the proposed future guest worker program and to a proposed untested merits based system.

Hi Guys
I went to local USCIS office today and asked about my case status. My I-485 was filled on 08Feb07 in EB2 category. A lot of people who have fillled I-485 after me, have already received green cards.
The Immigration lady was very nice and she told me that my case can not be approved as my name check is still pending with FBI. The name check was initiated on 24Feb07. She created a service ticket for me providing a target date of middle of next month. The ticket said that "Please approve asap after getting clearance from FBI". I do not know what does that mean? Still trying to figure out???
Then I asked about name check status of my dependants. She mentioned that their name check has been resolved which is different from cleared. She created a different SR for my dependants requesting Approval of Green cards as name check has been resolved again giving me mid of next month as target date. Does it mean that my depandants can get approval before my approval?
Gurus Any idea what should I expect. Do I need to continue to follow up with FBI and senators regarding my name check and collecting information for case file?
Regards
AnnieO

sounds like you have already sent a response to the RFE and you want to follow on... yes... go ahead and do it... its not like they are waiting for you to make a mistake and then they will close your file.. for the most part, USCIS is a friend... so dont worry and send in your follow on document asap. make sure you dont repeat your earlier documents. just send in the new one and refer to your earlier RFE response clearly saying that an additional document has now become available...
my 2 cents.
My attorney office replied back to My I485 query yesterday in the overnight post(today is the last day to respond). For the marriage proof, i attached the marriage certificate which has my incorrect date of birth. I attached the affidavit describing that there is the entry error in the marriage certificate and applied for the correction and as in process with "Registrar of Marriage" office in India. In the meantime, i received the corrected marriage certificate today with the scanned copy. My question is, Can i send my corrected marriage certificate document today to USCIS ? Will they accept with one day delay?
PD: MAY-2002 - EB3

From over an year, I have been working on EAD. Recently I resigned from my job, however I am still looking for a new job. I have a few questions related with EAD:
Thanks.
Yes, please fill out your profile to help IV.
1. Even after leaving the company, is it legal for me to stay in the country and for how long?
As long as I-485 is pending or approved.
2. Can I look for any kind of job on EAD or there is any restrictions?
Technically, Yes. But keep a job offer(in similar occupation as GC labor) in hand
3. Is it possible that my former employer can cancel my EAD?
No, employer has no say on EAD/AP/I-485. But the original employer can cancel I140 and that in turn would trigger I485/EAD/AP cancellation. Use AC21 to avoid getting denial.
4. If I find a new job, do I have to use immigration lawyers of my former employer to help renew my EAD, travel document etc. from time to time or I can hire another immigration lawyer?
You can use any immigration lawyer, or you can do it yourself. I have renewed my EAD/AP myself last 5 years.
Hope that helps.

Hi Friends :
I am not sure if I am posting this question in right thread or not.
My attorney (Dumbest creature on this earth) filed my I-485 (AOS) application on 30th June, 07 recd. on 2nd July at 10.45 am. I was under this impression that all 3 stages 485/765/131 were filed along to uscis.. but I was wrong. My attorney only applied for 485 saying that they were very busy and will file for 765 and 131 (EAD and AP) after we get 485 adjudicated.. BS..
Anyways.. My question is.. since 485 was mailed out via attorney's office, can I go ahead and apply for 765 and 131 on my own, bypassing attorney's effort or am I stuck with them to wait for their mood-swings to go ahead and file my papers. The deadline with old fees application is 30th July as per the news bulletin. I dont want to waste time for 485 to get adju. and then file for 765/131.
Please advise me about this situation. Also I don't have any proof of 485 application being submitted. I only have tracking number of Fedex that the application was delivered on 2nd July. GOSHH.. pls. advise me.
Thanks
