Happy Blogiversary To Me! A Re-Post Celebration

Today marks Tattoosday's fourth anniversary, when we first started off here on BillyBlog as a once a week feature, before spinning off into a stand-alone site little over a month later.

To celebrate, I'll be sharing favorite posts from the past four years throughout the day. Just a little celebratory break before we resume our normally-scheduled programming.

I also encourage readers to comment below or email me (tattoosday@gmail.com) and I will attempt to re-post reader favorites throughout the day.

Thanks to all of my readers for supporting me throughout the years! Here's to at least four more years!

Anniversary Re-Post - Julie's Crazy Tattoo

As part of our fourth anniversary, we are re-posting some of our favorite Tattoosday moments. This post is one of my all-time favorites, from June 15, 2010:

Inkspotting can be impulsive, but I also like to approach each volunteer after some consideration.

Rather than rush up on someone and barrage them with questions, I like to make sure the tattoo(s) in question are not only interesting to me, but will be interesting to others.

When I spotted Julie's back in Penn Station, for example, I hesitated:


It wasn't initially clear what her tattoo said and I was struck by its uniqueness. A huge fan of word and type tattoos, I couldn't recall ever seeing anything quite like it.

So my curiosity got the best of me and I introduced myself to Julie.

The tattoo "Loufoque," which is a slang term in butcher jargon for "crazy person". Julie explained that she apprenticed with a butcher shop for six months and it was a word she often heard tossed about by the staff, occasionally used when referring to a customer who might be difficult or, let's say, insane.

The term Loufuque derived from 19th Century butcher slang and it became part of the vernacular. Julie thought that this tattoo would be a great way to commemorate her experience.

The tattoo was done by Ryoko at Brooklyn Tattoo. I asked the artist where she came up with the letter design and she kindly gave me a little more perspective:

"I recall Julie requesting the letters themselves to express lunacy. The final design in the photo is my own interpretation of what she had asked for and I think my intention here was to make the phrase look chaotic and disorderly, yet somewhat maintaining it's legibility. It's what I was able to put together by trying to depict what she might have been imagining in her head at the time."
So, this post was written and prepped and I was online doing some final research when I stumbled upon this tidbit of information from "Of Meat and Men" by Rachel Kramer Bussel over on The Daily Beast:

Her goodbye present from the Fleisher’s staff is a set of knives inscribed with her name and “Loufoque,” French-butcher Pig Latin for “Crazy Lady,” a term she now has permanently tattooed across her back. Yet Powell now sounds much surer of herself than the lost woman whom we find in the early pages of Cleaving. Next up is a stab at a novel: “I’ve written quite enough memoirs for a 36-year-old.”

Was this coincidence? Or were we talking about the same person?

Scrolling back in the article, I discovered that the Powell here and the Julie that I met in Penn Station were one and the same person.

The same person who crafted The Julie/Julia Project, in which the author blogged her way through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, which became a book, which in turn became the film Julie and Julia. All of this Julie never once mentioned. Then again, I never asked. And it is all about the tattoo, after all.

That being said, thanks to Ryoko for sharing her thoughts about creating this tattoo, and a hearty thanks to Julie Powell for sharing this interesting tattoo. I'm glad my curiosity got the better of me!

Better Late Than Never

Back in April, I ran into John in Herald Square (34th and 6th) who had some pretty amazing work. He estimates he is about 25% covered in tattoos, which includes both arms, hands to shoulders, and both sides of his neck.

I stopped him and handed him a flier, but he was in a hurry, so we went our separate ways.

A month or so later, he e-mailed me a couple of photos:



John "loved Popeye growing up" and "love[s] the way [tattoos] look".

Not a lot more to tell, other than this was done by Rodrigo Melo, when he was at Rising Dragon Tattoos on 23rd Street (now on 14th). Rodrigo has since left Rising Dragon and co-founded North Star Tattoo in the East Village.

John is a photographer whose work can be seen here.

Thanks to John for sharing his ink with us here on Tattoosday!

The Quotable Tom Ford

As a new season of Project Runway premiered last night, I thought I'd share a fashion-related tattoo. Working on "Fashion Avenue," I see a lot of ink on people in the industry. Here's one from Megan:


This is a quote by the fashion designer Tom Ford:

"Beauty is an illusion/It is here only for a moment/Then it fades/But in the brief moment of existence/It has forever/impacted the world"
Megan read these words in one of Ford's books, in a section about evening wear.

"I love Tom Ford," she told me, "and I think he's a very smart man."

The tattoo was done about 2-3 years ago at Ink Candy in Hollywood by an artist named Angel.

Thanks to Megan for sharing this inspirational quote with us here on Tattoosday!

Katie's Bouquet

I spotted this lovely tattoo on the Broadway-Lafayette subway platform last month, while switching trains:



This floral piece, on Katie's calf,  is one of her eight tattoos.

The larger flower is an iris and the smaller flowers are Narcissus papyraceus or, as they are commonly known, Paperwhites.

She added these paperwhites specifically because they were her Nan's favorite flower.

The tattoo was done by an artist named Ron Hotte in San Diego. Rob is currently back in New York, more  specifically on Long Island, at Solid Gold Tattoo.

Thanks to Katie for sharing this beautiful tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

A Skull in Penn Station

Last week, I was passing through Penn Station when I spotted a woman with a bunch of interesting tattoos. I introduced myself, and had taken a picture of one of her tattoos, when the loudspeaker announced her train was boarding. Having learned nothing about the tattoo I had just photographed, I gave her my card and asked her to e-mail me the details.

When this happens, I am often left with a tattoo and no story. But fortunately for all of us here at Tattoosday, Stephanie e-mailed me a few days later, and this is what she had to say:

"You stopped me in Penn Station ... and took a picture of my tattoo. Its a skull on my forearm, pink with green flowers and a backwards jaw :)

I got the tattoo years ago now and the color is still incredibly vibrant. I got it at Chameleon Tattoo & Body Piercing  in Harvard Sq, Cambridge Massachusetts. The artist's name is Rueben Kayden. He does amazing traditional work and I've had him work on me several other times. At the time he had been working on two pin-up girls I have on the backs of my arms. I went in for my appointment and Rueben showed me a design he had been doodling. It was a strange skull with its jaw on the back of its head, and flowers all around. I immediately loved it. So, we ended up just tattooing that on me instead. I'm very random and I love random pieces of work. What's better than a random story?"
Work from Chameleon Tattoo and Body Piercing has appeared previously on the site here and here.

Thanks to Stephanie for sharing this tattoo and story with us here on Tattoosday!

Two for Tattoosday - Dave's Scalpflower and Bethany's Lonely Whale

A couple weeks back, I met Dave and Bethany outside of the Borders Penn Plaza in Manhattan. Both had amazing ink and shared some tattoos with us. Let's start with Dave's "scalpflower":


Dave explained that this floral tattoo on his scalp was inked by Mike Adams, who was doing a guest spot at Thicker Than Water in Manhattan.

Dave elaborated:
"We had talked about some ideas when I saw him [Mike Adams] at the Philadelphia Convention. We showed up [at Thicker than Water] and he just showed me some of the drawings of the tattoos he had recently done.


He had done another flower on someone else in the past week and I said 'Oh, let's do one of those.' He said, 'Yeah, that's awesome/ Let's do it.' "
Dave, who is approximately 70% covered in tattoos, had mostly been worked on by Tony Hundahl from Rock of Ages Tattoo in Austin, Texas. Hundahl has done both of Dave's sleeves (including the traditional segment pictured below), his chest, stomach, back, knees and one of his legs.



Dave added that, since moving to Washington D.C. recently, he started collecting work from other artists in the East.

Along with Dave, I met Bethany who, shared one of her more recent tattoos, this whale by Deno Jr.:


Deno Jr. works out of Circus Tattoo in Madrid, Spain, but had recently done a guest spot at Tattoo Paradise in D.C.

This tattoo is of this lonely whale, whose song is different from any other species, so it is an outcast, and she doesn't have a mate.

Thanks to Dave and Bethany for sharing their amazing tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

    Quick question you said they asked you to submit your legal status papers since 1999 which was when you went out of country? I have 2 questions

    1) Since when have you been in US, rather first time when did you come to US

    2) Did you never leave US after 1999. This is because the status really matters only since your last arrival on visa. Earlier records do not matter as per 245(k) memo. This question will help other forum members who have some kind of status violation


    your responses will be appreciated.

    Rockstart,

    I apologize for the tardy response.
    I first entered the US in 1997 using F-1 visa. I traveled back to Indonesia (my home country) 1999 for the holiday. After that, I never travelled out of the US. Since then, I have worked and obtained H1-B and am in the last stage of I-485. PD is ROW (of course) and biometrics code 3 was done a while ago. Hence, I believe USCIS requested RFE since 1999; the last time I travelled out of the country.
    I always maintain a legal status.

    I hope this helps. If you have rather a more personal msg, please feel free to email me. I am more than glad to give you more info and help you.

    NEW DELHI: India may drag the United States to the World Trade Organization , or WTO, over its decision to raise professional visa fees for an extended period and impose a 2% import levy on goods and services sold to the US government, a senior official has said.

    The commerce department is studying details of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 which aims to increase visa fee and import taxes on supplies to government to set up a $4.3 billion fund for sharing the healthcare burden of those affected by 9/11 terror attack in New York.

    The Senate passed the bill last week and India will soon take a decision on approaching the WTO, commerce secretary Rahul Khullar told ET on Monday.

    The final bill, which is now with US President Barak Obama to be signed into law, spells more trouble for Indian industry than the one initially proposed as it imposes an additional levy of 2% on all goods and services sold by Indian companies to the US government and extends the period for higher visa fees from 2014 to 2021.

    India has been trying for months to persuade its third largest trade partner to revoke the proposal to increase H1B and L1 visa fees as it could raise the cost of Indian IT companies operating in the US by $200 million annually.

    "We do not rush into disputes, but beyond a point, patience does run out," Dr Khullar said, adding that it may be time for the country to explore the option of settling the issue at the WTO.

    The first step would be to seek consultations with the US at the WTO on the contents of the bill and if the matter doesn't get resolved, a dispute settlement panel could be set up, the secretary said.

    The 2% tax will be levied on countries that are not signatories to the government procurement agreement (GPA) of the WTO, including India.

    ok gurus here's my situation..
    1) Employer A filed my green card and I140 is approved and its been more than 180 days since 485 is filed.. no issue here... recently got my 3-year H1 extension from employer A till 2011. this extension is for 7th, 8th and 9th year... so have already crossed 6 year limit.

    2) got an offer and accepted the offer from employer B and employer A does not provide any info regaring labor or I-140...

    3) Since H1 extension is based on my green card application, to do a transfer or renewal, copies of I140 and labor is required (according to company B's lawyer)

    4) So in this case i'm forced to use EAD and company B's lawyer are evaluating if old and new job description are same or similar...

    so now my question is, is it true that transfer/renew of H1 after 6 years without the copy of I140 or labor from employer other than the one filed for your green card, not allowed? is there anything that can be done in this case?
    thanks guys..

    I don't think you are missing anything. I don't think the congress will pass a bill to recapture EB visas out of the blue like that. It will take lots of effort from the pro-immigrant community and will face a great deal of opposition like it did in the past from the anti lobby. It won't be handed to us in a plate just like that.

    Haven't heard of recapturing H1 visas. With high demand for H1s I doubt if there will be any unused visas to be recaptured. Even if there are any then can the congress recapture them? Even if they did why would they recapture unused EB visas along with unused H1 visas? . Am I missing something here?..

    In 2005 I was working at california and my employer was at NJ. I did my tax filing with a all state agent abd he filed taxes for just NJ and federal.
    Yesterday I got a notice from California that I have filed taxes using california address and didnot files state taxes for CA.
    and I need to proof that I filed the taxes that year or file the taxes.

    I went to HR block and prepared taxes for 2005 and mailed to them.

    Same thing was there when I filed for 2006 taxes, my consultant didnt filed the taxes for CA.
    So I prepared taxes for 2006 also and mailed to them. Both I mailed as a physical mail.

    Did any one had similar experiance or any issues?

    Please vote up on our causes! Easy job..but please act!

    I think anti-immigrant groups are voting down on pro-immigrant policies. So, one should vote down on all anti-immigrant policies as well. Just voting up on pro-immigrantion policies wont help I guess

    I am sure many of you would agree with the below observations -

    I lost money in the 2001 stock market because I believed that the market could never down based on all the glorious research reports..

    I lost money again in 2005 as I bought a house believing that a house value can only go up, again reading all the real estate boom that was happening around.

    Now, I keep reading that the Indian market is oh-so good that everyone should go back to India to live in the villas and ride around in the chauffeured cars:)

    Hmm, as always, I have been the last one to get on the boat before it went under. So, with all pun intended, what Indian ETF should I start investing and when should I buy my one-way ticket :rolleyes:

    As my mom always says - Mountains always look smooth from a distance. This time I think I will stay put and wait it out for my GC..


    Good one, I gave you green for this :D If US is no more attractive, then no one see the queue and hue created outside the consulate just for a Visa interview. If any one repeates in media 1000 times that infosys is not a "Chop Shop" it will never come out that way.:)

    Respected Sir,
    I feel compelled to say that we the struggling immigrants from India
    do not get much help from Americans whose roots are from SouthAsia/India.
    There may be few exceptions - but the majority is kind of neutral.

    Look at the Latino peoples - check out how much support they gets from Latino-Americans. Without that we can't be on Front page .

    I'm not pessismistic but a its a grim reality.

    Those southasian americans dont forget to say "I love my India" for various financial/personal gains but never ever mistakes saying "I love indians also"

    Thanks

    Yes and we have a tough tough task here - don't be surprised if they come up with wiredest ways to punish legal high skilled as days go by - we can see more frustration among those legal immigrants coming to US.

    What we can do

    MAAKE IT AS VISIBLE AS POSSIBLE

    EB3_PERA,

    Immigration to Canada is the most obvious option in case you want to stay within North America. Being Canadian permanent resident / citizen allows you to run business in the States under certain rules.

    Another option is Australia but it is a bit far away and in fact the country is not very much populated - less than 20 mln people. I.e. business is not booming.

    Dubai is an excellent option for making money, or at least that was the case 10-15 years ago. Its economy is still booming.

    My AP is valid until JUNE 27 2011, (Here is the line from the I-512L, Presentation of the Original Document prior to June 27 2011 allows a customs and border protection inspector at a port-of-entry to parole the named bearer) I'm travelling to India during May / June and will be entering LAX back on June25. Will this be an issue as my AP is expiring in next couple of days.

    Experts please let me know your thoughts on my situation whether it is safe to travel and getting in back will not be of an issue.

    Thanks if you can help me out

    Regards
    Karthik

    Technically, there should not be an issue. But as the other poster suggested, it may be better to extend it since you are still outside the 120 day window for application.

    If Your Consulting Company is the negotiating then its good for you that you will be leaving on good terms. I would recommend you negotiate with them to File your 485 when PD available.

    As far joining new Employer, you can only join them with H1B with 140 waiting status.

    What does that mean? how can they file 485 when I'm not working for them? Also - What do you mean by with H1-B & 140 waiting?

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this thread but I could not find anywhere else to post it on this website.

    I filed for my initial H-1B document and the H-1B adjustment document (from full time to part time) with an immigration lawyer last year. The two processes went relatively smooth. Thinking that this lawyer was someone I could trust, I also started the PERM process with her and had my company pay half of the PERM lawyer fee up front and signed whatever paper that I was required to sign.

    After she was paid, I noticed that her replies to my emails were slower and some were even neglected. I'm extremely frustrated with her change of behavior as the immigration process is really important to me as it is to every immigrant. I tried emailing her again about 3 days ago with some questions, and she neglected it again. I tried to be as understanding as possible, but I personally think this is ridiculous and I'm getting very upset. She is the only person that works at the office and she has no paralegals or office staff. So I always have to talk to her directly for everything.

    Today, I actually emailed her with another email account pretending I'm someone else interested in the H-1B process, and I received a reply from her within 40 minutes. So I know she's neglecting my emails on purpose. I'm not sure if she just doesn't take care of her "paid" clients or she just has something personal against me for whatever reason. (I was always respectful to her in every way so I don't believe it's something I did)

    Since I signed the paper which states that I have to pay for a large termination fee if I were to request termination of contract for whatever reason, I can't just hire a new lawyer either. What would be a good approach to resolve this situation? I thought about talking to her directly face-to-face and let her know how upset I'm about her change of behavior (which she may charge me for her time) but I don't want her to screw with my immigration documents at the same time.

    First things first. Don't get stressed out. You have hired an Attorney to represent you - u r a client for the Attorney and it is their duty to work with you.

    It is very common - people are very receptive before you pay and after that, they tend to slow down on you because they are spending time to bait in the next potential client.

    You can report this lawyer to the bar or to AILA or probably to better Business Bereau. Folks here can guide you.

    Some Attorneys are very receptive, they value and treat you well. They try their best to get back to you in a day or two. I have seen Attroneys responding to queries late night - probably thats the time they set for email responses or so.

    My message to Attorneys - do please value your client. These days, immigrants have a lot of platform and power and are better informed so don't take your clients for granted. t
    The better you treat your client, the better business for you.

    Noting to worry. You will get your DL in mail. Till then you can use the temporary one. Usually the offices in the same state will be aware of the policies. But if you travel out of state some times you might have to just explain to them if needed.

    Till you get your DL in mail you have to use a differnt photo ID if needed.

    Hi!
    I was wondering if you guys know any link on Dept on labor (or uscis.gov) that says that employer is responsible for all the legal(lawyer) fees. I work for a government firm and they only pay H1b fees that they are supposed to pay to USCIS. At the same time, they force me to hire a lawyer (I cannot file it myself) and they want me to pay for the lawyer.

    I was wondering if you know of any law that I can show them and ask them to pay for the same.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Guys
    I have filed for my renewal EAD on May 29th at NSC. My current EAD expires on Sept 24th. I havent got the renewal EAD yet, where as my wife got it both applications were sent in the same envelope. I am working on EAD and am losing sleep since if my EAD doesnt come in time I will be out of my payroll.

    Has some one gone to the local USCIS office to get the interim EAD recently? I was told that option no longer exists.

    Can some one post the FAX #s to expedite EAD requests?


    yes that is true, Local uscis no longer provides interim EAD. they just place a request for interim EAD from their office only after your application has crossed 90 days from the receipt date (not notice date).

    Hey All,

    I am on H1B on Indian passport and my current H1B that is stamped on passport will expire on March 18, 2010.

    Recently, I got my H1b visa extension until 2012.

    I'm currently working for my end client "X" from last 2 years and H1b holder is company "Y".

    I am planning to go to India first two weeks of February and return on 17th Feb from EWR and returning back to EWR.

    I do hav an employment verification letter obtained from my manager at end client "X".

    I am planning to do my visa stamping while in Mumbai. I have 4 questions :

    1) Looking at the current scenario, where most of H1B stamping at Mumbai consulates are going through administrative process;
    do you recommend me to go to Mumbai for new visa stamping ?

    2) If I simply return on my current visa, will the officer at POE ask me - why I did not get new H1 stamped on passport when I have 30 days for current to expire ?
    Any advice ????????

    3) I have confirmed tickets for me, wife and kid to arrive at Newark. Do you guys think it is wise to change the aiport to some other airport ?

    4) Do you think dropping the plans going to India is more feasible than dealing through points 1-3 above.

    I need your advise as soon as you can. Please share with me your viewpoints in the best possible way.

    Did everyone get receipt and transfer notice? I ask because I only got Transfer notice, and lawyer is not responding about whether he received a receipt notice(with July 2nd date ) also.

    TIA

    I485, EAD applications delivered on 7/23/2007 to NSC.

    Transfer Notice says I485 transfered to TSC from CSC
    Transfer Notice has receipt date Sept. 14
    Transfer Notice has notice date Sept. 17
    Transfer Notice receipt starts with WAC

    No other receipt for I485 or EAD.

    I will tell my story, if this help.

    I laid-off after working 7 years with big company on March end. I am already 8th year of H1B. Company notified to USCIS and revoked the H1B, etc per company policy. I do have copy of LCA/I140, etc.
    I got another job(contract) with some employer. New company lawyer applied for H1B transfer(because old company revoked stuff so to be safe side). Law firm asked ONLY copy of my I-485 Receipt Notice. I think, Attorney changed the sponsorship with H1 transfer(i.e. invoked AC21 with H1 transfer). I didn't get H1 approval so far.

    To give more twist: My PD(July 2001) is current per March VB but USCIS will take addtional 90 days to assign my case to Officer. Now contest is on. Let's see if my contract will finish first or GC process. :) :D USCIS already beat me once. USCIS 1 - Me 0 :)

    If you have copy of LCA/I-140 then it will better for your record but i don't think it's required to H1 transfer and invoke AC21.

    my 2 cents and good luck


    ok gurus here's my situation..
    1) Employer A filed my green card and I140 is approved and its been more than 180 days since 485 is filed.. no issue here... recently got my 3-year H1 extension from employer A till 2011. this extension is for 7th, 8th and 9th year... so have already crossed 6 year limit.

    2) got an offer and accepted the offer from employer B and employer A does not provide any info regaring labor or I-140...

    3) Since H1 extension is based on my green card application, to do a transfer or renewal, copies of I140 and labor is required (according to company B's lawyer)

    4) So in this case i'm forced to use EAD and company B's lawyer are evaluating if old and new job description are same or similar...

    so now my question is, is it true that transfer/renew of H1 after 6 years without the copy of I140 or labor from employer other than the one filed for your green card, not allowed? is there anything that can be done in this case?
    thanks guys..

    For me I will select "YES" to "Are you applying for same visa class that expired in the last 12 months?" but what should I select for my daughter (she 2 yrs old)?
    In VISA renewal criteria it says "First time H4 or L2 applicants under 18 years of age." do not qualify for appointment in this renewal category?
    This statement has confused me to whether to go for "YES" or "NO"?

    Is it required to inform USCIS after you change jobs after 180 days using
    AC21?

    Is it safe to say that if your GC applying company does NOT revoke I-140 after you change jobs, that you are OK not to tell USCIS about your change ?

    ****** FURTHER UPDATE ON THIS - VERY BIZARRE ******

    With regards to my original post below my lawyer got back to me today with something bizarre -
    She received a case closure letter from the Backlog center in July 2007 and they sent a copy of the application we had originally filed. In it, the company address has been struck out and another address (70 miles from where we are) was hand written. She faxed me a copy of this and it is nothing short of bizarre. Does DOL actually make changes like this on their own without a confirmation letter from the Company or attorney. I know my attorney would not do such a thing unless we had requested it. Also, the new address was a company (totally different name) that specialized in pool plastering - nothing to do with Computer engineering which is my area. Currently she's placed a call to the backlog center and since they don't answer calls directly we are waiting to hear back from them. Additionally she's writing to them too. Has anyone been in such a situation and can IV help in addressing this with any agency?

    Thanks.


    ***** ORIGINAL POST ******
    Hi,

    My PD is Dec 2002 (on 8th year H-1 extension and just applied to renew H-1 again) and my company recd the 45-day letter in April 06 and responded in time. I checked my case status in July 07 and it displayed case closed. I called my lawyer and basically the response I got was she did not respond in time to a rescruitment instructions report sent by DOL in March 07 and hence the case was closed. My company has been supportive through this process and its only my lawyer whose been horrible.

    While part of me wanted to do strangle her, the other part (guessing the sendible part) made me realize I needed to get this resolved.

    1. Have any of you been in this situation and had your case reopened and if so, how?

    2. Can I change my attorney in this situation and have him/her try to get the case reopened?

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Bang on.
    People discuss Visa Bulletins to no end, but why don't they pick up a pen and paper to DO SOMETHING that will render Visa Bulletins virtually meaningless ("ability to file I-485 without PD being current")?

    Here is an additional few things that the IV Core could do to ease the PAIN of the several individuals (not the GC pain, the mailing out of the letters pain)

    1) Arrange a door to door bus service to pick up the letters from people.
    State chapters: CHOP CHOP what are u waiting for, lets get those buses moving!

    2) While they are at it maybe the IV voluneteers can also vacuum people's apartments, wash up their pets, potty train the kids, do the dishes the whole 9 yards.
    State chapters: WHY are you still glued to ur rears, where is my own personal volunteer??

    3) Since IV has unlimited funding, maybe it can also Overnight FedEx all these letters to the White House.
    State chapters: Sigh! (Forget it!)

    Hey here's a better idea. Why dont WE copy and paste the template from the thread, personalize it, print and sign 2 copies, find 2 envelopes one big and one smaller put a stamp on each one and mail the whole thing out to IV?

    Too much work or too much INERTIA?

    Hello VictimOfGc,

    Thank you for your first reply.
    I gad lost my password and read your previous post only yesterday.

    As you know, the decision of denying my husband's and mine I-485 could not be not appealed. I have also never stated the uscis denial reason, as I did not have it when I posted my question. They have stated that we had traveled abroad without Advance Parole, so they were considering that we have abandoned our GC petition. We came back to the country with my O-1 visa and my husband O-3.
    The first problem raised by a friend of mine lawyer (I did not have a lawyer retained anymore) was that uscis violated my constitutional rights. They SHOULD have sent me an official letter back in August stating that they were reopening or intended to reopen my 485 case! Nothing was sent. Beside my I-140 and my RFE on the I485 I did not receive anything else. So even if legally they were "right" to deny my 485, uscis has comited SO many mistakes on my case that I have been told they could let it slide on this one.
    From that moment on I have decided that I will fight them till the end and that I would not pay them one cent! Because at the end of the day, it is all about money and more money in their "crooks" pocket. I contacted my Congresswoman, my Senator, and a Congressman from another state than mine. I had gathered all the proofs and all documentations for the last 3 years and posted them on a server, so everyone involved could review them. Those three elected officials called them and spoke to uscis congressional liaison. This went on for two weeks.

    Friday the 13th we received our green cards!

    Immigrantion Restrictionist/Racists have been calling Congresional offices and pounding the privelege of their One vote each, so they can be spared of foreign competition even though US competitiveness goes down the drain. I guess each one to himself. Here are some of the more interesting conversations...

    ==


    Senator Kyl:
    Q. What is Senator Kyl's position to be on Cornyn's "dark of the night"
    attempt to ramrod an H-1B increase?
    A. Are you calling on behalf of any organization?
    A. Yes, the org's name is Sandra. I only have one vote and no campaign
    donations.
    "Very low likelihood of this passing, and in the future Senator Kyl will
    take into careful consideration such meansures."
    A. You haven't answered my question. Kyl has been a consistent supporter
    of H-1Bs
    A. Senator hasn't made a decision and is still considering.
    Q. How did the Senator vote on the H1-C two days ago?
    A. I'm not finding a record.
    Q. It was HR1285--on December 5.
    A. Oh, that was a unanimous voice vote.
    Q. So does that mean Senator Kyl voted for it?
    A. I can check, just a moment........it was a unanimous voice vote
    ================================================== ========
    Senator McCain:
    Q What is McCain's position on Cornyn's "dark of the night" attempt to
    ramrod an H-1B increase?
    A. He hasn't yet taken a position.
    ================================================== ========
    Senator Grassley (Casey Mills)
    Asked for Casey but aide couldn't find him
    Q. Does Grassley support H1-B increases?
    A He doesn't know.
    I gave him a rundown as if I were Debbie--nursing shortage is artificially
    created. Grassley probably voted for H1-C, etc.
    I retrained for a job after 20 years to go into nursing, and now find wages
    are kept low by foreign nurses.
    A. He'll pass concerns along.
    ================================================== ==============
    Senator Dorgan
    Express thanks to Senator Dorgan for opposing H1-Bs.

    I called Cornyn's office just now - male staffer got really annoyed when I
    asked him if Senator Coryn supports displacing well-educated American
    workers with Foreign H-1B Visa holders. He immediately passed me off to a
    voice mail box of a staffer who handles immigration matters. (Yes, I know
    H-1B's are so-called "non-immigrant Visas" but we all know most of these
    people end up staying here -)

    Of course the staffer did not pick up his phone - but the staffer's name is
    Landon Bell. Why not ring up Senator Corn-Hole's office and ask for Landon
    Bell, and ring Landon's bell a bit?

    Gerard

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +

    I called Cornyn's office just now - stated my opposition of course. The
    person I spoke with said that Cornyn was trying to get his bill introduced
    today, and he was not sure if it would be voted on today.

    Hopefully Cornyn fails. I think he is getting our message, but I also
    think he does not care.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +

    Maybe you all have different information that I just obtained from both
    Senator Pete Domenici's office (Republican) and Senator Jeff Bingaman's
    office (Democrat) -- both of New Mexico. But both of their offices claim
    that Skil Bill "Access to High Skilled Foreign Workers" S 2691 has NOT left
    committee yet and thus cannot be voted on yet. (It is certainly possible
    that you all have different or better information than was conveyed to me
    but this is what I obtained.)

    Domenici's office staff person couldn't tell me which side of the fence he
    was on as he hasn't "made a press release" yet. And, as long as it is in
    committee he apparently doesn't voice an opinion.

    Senator Bingaman's office staff also told me that he had not expressed an
    opinion to him on his position on the bill. The young, female staff woman
    who answered the DC phone seemed STUNNED when she pulled up the bill and
    started to read parts of it. She thought they'd have to take some kind of
    special test to get into the USA for these jobs -- no. I only wish she
    were casting a vote as I know how she'd vote! Again, she told me that
    the bill was not out of committee YET and the Senators are going home
    tomorrow afternoon. They are doing "yesterday morning's" work tonight or
    some such backward thinking. There has been no floor debate on the bill so
    the staff claimed would mean there will NOT be a vote on the bill tonight.
    No one would guarantee me that NO voting would take place tomorrow but did
    say it was UNlikely.

    Finally, when I got to the staff woman in DC she was a bit surprised
    because someone had called her on the bill from one of the Senator's New
    Mexico offices. (A bit strange unless it was my calling the Senator's 800
    number which connected me some place in New Mexico and they called the DC
    office for information regarding my inquiry.)

    (BE careful when you call, however, one Bingaman's staff males that I
    spoke with tried to give me the WRONG Senate Bill number reference. He
    asked "This is Senate Bill 2626?" I said "The one I am calling on is
    "Senate Bill 2691 "Access to High Skilled Foreign Workers" so unless the
    bill has been reassigned a number that I don't know about -- I am calling
    on the Skil Bill "Access to High Skilled Foreign Workers.")

    Oh, yeah! the woman from Bingaman's office said "Oh, THAT's a
    Republican sponsored bill!"

    Cynthia

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +

    I, too, phoned Cornyn's office and the person I spoke with kept insisting
    that the H-1B's had to be paid the same as Americans and then he said the
    senator wants to make America more competitive by bringing in skilled
    workers. I directed him to Norm's article in the San Francisco paper and to
    the Programmers Guild. I asked him how it would make our nation more
    competetive to bring in a worldwide supply of cheaper labor to take our
    jobs. Silence.

    What kind of RFE besides the letter from the OBG doctor?


    if u go to the doc, they will perform the the tests that are ok to perform..

    Check with doc if they will accept the test results (PAP , HIV , etc) from your obgyns office. These tests are already done during initial stages of pregnancy.

    Finally the doc will add a note to the medical report that some tests/shots are omited due to pregnancy.

    I went through same thing..

    Will the case be accepted with this partial report-- It will be.

    Will there be an RFE? -- i dont know.. may be

    My h1 started in 2009 October which means I have 4 years and 9 months more of h1 left with me
    Do you think moving to a new company should be a better idea?
    considering the fact that my application would be rejected eventually?
    any new company would also take a year to start my application and would mostly take 6 months to get a new job! effectively I would have 3 years of h1 cycle 2 for the new one
    should i just wait and see if i get audited and if I do just move to a new place?
    What would be my best bet?
    -chehuan

    Chehuan,
    Even if you change your job there is no guarantee that your New PERM/I140 won't get audited with new employer! So it all depends on the JOB and the employer. Best bet would be get EB3140 approved and then try to find a EB2 qualified Job and willing employer. Remember not all Jobs qualify for EB2! DOL and USCIS know the minimum job requirements for almost every position they receive PERM/I140 application. The more employer/attorney's try to apply for EB2 the more audits DOL/USCIS will follow.:(

    It's not easy to get a J-1 waiver, but with recent changes in the rule, by the time you finish your residency it will be easier. Its easy to get waiver in family practice or psychiatry. Its harder for Internal Medicine/pediatrics/Surgery and fellowships (except Geriatrics)

    1) You can get a J-1 visa, but your husbands 140 has nothing to do with this. However, on the positive side, if by the time you complete your residency and donot have a J-1 waiver job and your husband is still maintaining his H-1B or has a GC, you can stay in the US and look for job, but not work. So it gives you more time to find waiver job.

    From personal experience, it would be better to go home for two years, while your husband stays here and then you come back as GC and start your practice. But thats for later.

    2) You cannot file 485 for your self till waiver is done if you take J-1. If you can wait for a couple of years for the GC (likely soon after retrogression is resolved) and then start residency, then you probably could just start on GC. But its a hard decision, as you dont know if you will get residency after this time or retrogression will resolve soon.

    Its frustrating I understand.

    Good luck

    My husband is working on H-1 B and his I -140 is approved and I am on H-4 visa. I am trying to get in US medical residency and most likely I will get J-1 visa

    I have following questions -

    1) Do I qualify for non-immigrant, J-1 visa considering my husband's I-140 approval? Would his I-140 approval not have my name associated to it ?

    2) Once I accept J-1 visa, would I be able to file I-485 when my husband's PD will be current?

    3) If I decide to quit residency after few months/year to file, would I be able to convert my J-1 visa to H-4 visa again?

    4) After converting H-4 visa would I be able to file I-485 once my husband's date is current?

    5) How difficult or easy is to get J-1 wavier

    Thanks in advance for your replied

    I have received a email from CRIS asking for more evidence on my wife pending 485 application. I guess that is related to the medical. Will I receive the RFE by mail or my lawyer does or both. My GC process is through a lawyer.

    I am trying to collect a list of some prominent people (scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs, etc.) who are EB immigrants or were/are on H1 for an article. Please share if you happen to know or can point to such information. For example, orkut was invented by a former H-1B visa holder. Any examples with relevance in the current economic situation will be specially useful. For example, somebody who immigrated to US on EB category is now running a business and/or employing Americans.

    Thanks!

    You can find lots people in the internet.

    My husband recieved a transfer notice for his I-485 from TSC saying that the
    "Preliminary Processing of the application has been completed, and it has been transferred to USCIS office at Lee's summit , MO 64064. The office will notify you when they schedule an interview on the application."
    I am the primary applicant and I am on H1. My husband was on H4 and now he is on EAD. My PD is July-04. Is any body in the same situation as me and received such transfer notice. I am really anxious about this. Please let me know is it somethign to worry about and what I take for the interview when I am called.
    I will greatly appreciate any help with this.
    Thanks.

    Seems to me like TSC is processing application based on priority date rather than processing date posted. This seems to be different from NSC which usually goes by the processing date. Lately I have heard of couple of cases whose priority date were or close to being current and they were either sent an RFE or called for interview.

    Anyway to OP, there are bunch of threads here on which talk people talk about their interview experience. All you can do is go through them , talk to your attorney and prepare accordingly.

    Great Job vine93. In addition to telling your story of sufferings,disappointmenst becsue of the retrogression also get some talking points from IV maybe Pappu can provide you some, not that you need any, everyone of our sufferings are talking points by themselves. Please convey them how people from India are waiting for 10+ years without any chance of GC in sight and have to wait for another decade or so to get there green card. Good luck, I have called my congressman and vented my frustrtaion at how people from India china are suffering because of country quota and because of recapture of visas not happenning.


    Congressman scheduled a meeting for Family and Employment based victims. I had a talk with their office , they would like to listen individual stories at the hall. I am planning to attend this tomorrow. CO state chapter please join this .

    Mats is on the money for sure. A 350D or a D70s (or D50) with a kit lens will make your millenia.

    I bought a 20D as a backup, knock about camera for Africa. It's a good wee beast. But not in your budget range. But it's the obvious next step.

    We can hardly wait for the ** which is ##MP and ##fps.

    Vactor,

    Thanks, So what was your job requirement? Was that Bachelors?

    Can you tell me that which education evaluator you use for that? I might can refer my lawyer to him.

    I had my diploma in Mechanical engineering (3 - Years) and B.E. in mechanical engineering. My job requirements were Bachelor's Degree plus five years experience. I don�t remember evaluations agency name now but I will get that for you tomorrow.

    I will help with drafting something. Any more guidance on what needs to be included? Also, can we have a 'editor' who can help with finalizing the letters? Somebody who has good English speaking skills and is good at weeding out unnecessary stuff from the letters.

    We also need to get hold of solid numbers which would justify not having this amendment. In this economic climate, people might wonder why new H1B hires are required.

    Yes, I believe they were filed together - I saw a note in their web site. But why would they file 539 ? she is out of country already. Isn't I539 to extend stay only if u are already in the country ? And yes i already got an appointment in chennai. But the twist is, HR says they "informed" the attorneys to do PP. It is already 11 days and no receipt #. HR is tight lipped as to whether attorneys did infact file PP. If they did not, am i screwed ? Dont you need a receipt# atleast to bump up to PP?

    I got notification for the same Receipt number which i had( Applied regular processing on May 15 and bumped to PP on 06/20 .Infact USICS notification came 2 days after my attroney received mail for PP

    Receipt Number: EAC0716050372

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If one has an approved I-140, the priority date of that approval is "locked-in" so to speak and can be used for future cases. Normal proof one would want to have for when s/he is filing a new PERM case with a new I-140, is a copy of that previous approval notice, though sometimes it is possible to use the on-line status print out. To carry over the priority date it is not necessary that the two positions be similar, or even that they be in the same preference category. One can be EB3 and the other EB2.


    Attorney_13
    Attorney posted December 20, 2006 05:00 AM
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    What happens in retaining a priority date where the I-140 is revoked is unclear. While there are regulations that state that you would no longer be able to carry over the priority date if the I-140 is revoked, there is a USCIS memorandum that states that only where the I-140 is revoked for misrepresentation or fraud are you not able to carry it over. The USCIS seems to be following the memorandum consistently though it does not have the force of law. It is not necessary that the positions between the first I-140 and the new subsequent I-140 be same or similar in any way. The DOL does not determine if a priority date will transfer. That is a determination by the USCIS. The language in the regulations is "shall" be transferred, rather than being discretionary.

    Thanks desi3933.
    My followup qn to this is ..

    If I get my 3yr H1 extn approved (before 140 cancellation) with company B and company A revokes my approved 140, is it possible to transfer my priority date(of the approved 140 ..which is now revoked by company A) to my new 140 filed by company B?

    Hi All,
    Recently I received an RFE on my Wife's 485 application asking to prove that we both are still married. My lawyer is asking for around $400 to respond to this RFE, We have already paid the lawyer about $7500 until now for our GC process and she is no longer the preferred lawyer for the company that I am working for, but I had to keep my case with her as she has processed all of my applications until now. My questions are:
    1. Can we ourselves respond to the RFE and save the $400.00,
    2. If so, What's the process and what documents that we need to send to prove that we are still married.

    Appreciate all of your help in this regard.

    Thanks
