DHS Leadership Journal Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/graphics/open-share-gray.jpg (http://openhomelandsecurity.ideascale.com/)
In recent days, the Department of Homeland Security has taken a major step toward its priority to create a more open, transparent, efficient, and effective government. As part of President Obama's Open Government Directive, we have now launched the DHS Open Government Initiative (http://www.dhs.gov/open).
The Administration has set four goals for its Open Government effort, calling them the "cornerstone of an open government." The goals DHS will seek are:
improving transparency by providing more information and data about the Department's activities in a timely and accessible manner;
increasing participation by utilizing new tools and strategies to encourage input and feedback from the public;
expanding collaboration with our many partners, both inside and outside government; and
encouraging innovation to find new ways to make the government more open and efficient and save taxpayers money.
The Department of Homeland Security wants your input on our Open Government Plan. How should we increase our transparency to the public? What is the best way to foster a culture of participation? Do you have ideas to help increase collaboration? We want to hear your thoughts and ideas.
The online participation tool (http://openhomelandsecurity.ideascale.com/) will be available until March 19, 2010. You can contribute your own ideas and rate idea others have submitted.

Hello,
I need to know if it is safe to travel to India on AP and EAD documents without having a valid H4 visa. My H4 visa had been renewed once and now after 3 years it has expired on Dec 12 2010. I need to go to India to see my father who is very ill. I want to know if re-entry into the US will be a problem on my AP and EAD. Also, will it effect the entry of my daughter (if she travels with me) who is 2.5 years old and is US citizen.
please help!!

You are safe. Once you have reached I-485 stage, it is all about you and not your employer. You mentioned that you already changed to a new employer. Technically, your old employer should've revoked your old I-140 after your move. Since, you moved to a new employer you are indicating that your new employer also has a new job that matches your initial Labor application. You have nothing to worry about your old employer closing down.
Enjoy your EAD/AP and hope you get your GC soon.
Cheers

I was initially issued pp for 5 years in India. Last year in '08 when it was expiring, i sent application for renewal of passport (NY Consulate) based on my EAD. However, instead of renewing it for another 5 years they renewed it for 1 year only. When I called the office, they said that they receive tons of pp's lon EAD which can be renewed for a year only.
Did anybody face this same problem? Can I apply for new passport based on I-485 receipt and would they issue passport for another 5 or 10 years?
Thanks in advance
In this economy you need to generate good revenue - this is a good revenue for Indian missions'.
BTW, As far as I heard from Indian Consular Officer in Chicago - Indian Mission has a right to issue a 1 year passport, if (1) Your previous passport had < 10 yr validity or (2) you are on a temporary visa (like visiting or tourist) trying to renew it in overseas or (3) you have not stayed outside India continuously for 3 years.

Leave aside ranking, this MBA program is not accredited by AACSB (AACSB International-The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (http://www.aacsb.edu)), the institution which accredits Business Schools. I wonder what value you will get in the market for an MBA from this University.

My case is like this....
Actually I got approval notice of H1 transfer case in month of Nov 2009 for which my current employer initiated in month of Aug 2008.
During transfer case in pending status, I got an RFE in April 2009 for which my employer submitted concerned document...later I did not have any updates of my case until Aug 2009 when employer called me and told about an second RFE which was about client letter...I lost my running project job becoz of that. but my employer again submitted client letter from somewhere which I dont know.....I thought now everything is good..but I did not get approval update from USCIS/employer after that also......
After 3 months when I check case updtate on USCIS portal then I found that my case is reopened and approved. Later when I get project and asked for salary increment to employer then he told me that there is no second RFE actually he received denial notice. I was shocked and asked him why did not he tell me about that as he has not given me any RFE related document of my case so I have to belive on his words.
Now my queries with different scenarios is as follow
Q1)If I file WH4 against him for those bench
period without any newly initiated transfer (petition belongs to that employer only)...will there be any problem for me as that period was out of status (as said by my employer)?
Q2)also will it affect if I newly initiate transfer process to another employer which is suppose in pending status ?
Q3)If I have approved petition of newly initiated transfer(of another employer) but WH4 case gets denied. will it affect my approved petition?
Q4) if both H1B transfer to new employer and WH4 case against previous employer is in pending status ...and WH4 gets denied will it affect my pending transfer case?
Q5) Is it really good to file WH4 case against previous employer as soon as I start another transfer? what will be your opinion whether to file WH4 case before new H1 transfer or after when received RFE on pending new H1 Transfer case.
Appreciate if any attorney can help me in this situatation.....
thanks......

That is not a problem at all. You can apply for EAD renewal as long as your AOS pending (i.e., I-485).

Are both of these I-140s on the same labor cert?
Whats the RFE about?
What does your lawyer say? Ignoring the RFE does not seem right, at minimum you should contact USCIS and explain the situation to them.

07/06/2007: Hard Working Women and Men in USCIS Behind the Visa Number Fiasco
From the information available thus far, this reporter believes that no one in the agencies intended to bring about this fiasco. It was lack of close communication and coordination between the USCIS and the DOS and more or less a poor handling of the situation at some level within the USCIS. The people should remember that there are many and many women and men in the agency involved who worked hard just like you and me to do the given jobs, including managers, supervisors, and other higher ups. The agencies should take this fiasco as a good opportunity to learn a lesson on what could go wrong in the management of immigration services and responsibilities affecting hundreds and thousands of other human beings. This reporter has been visiting the field offices, particularly Nebraska Service Center and other local field offices, almost every single year for over past 20 years and have met the "human" faces of hard working officers and other workers working in tiny cubicles and facilities that cannot be described as fancy offices but more or less factories and plants. When I report the current news, this reporter sees the faces of the women and men that I have met who worked in the not necessarily fit office space and environment. Without doubt, the current fiasco should be one way or another corrected and prevented in the future. However, the people should not take this opportunity to dehumanize the current event and easily demonize other people with no faces. Probably this is the time when these women and men need most an emotional support and boost from their invisible customers. After all, things will go through the legal process or other processes to correct the mistake. Low morale of these women and men will help no purposes and causes. On behalf of our readers, we want to send a big "CHEER UP" to these women and men!

There are several campaign threads opened. One is asking this other is asking that.
Folks, I know this is a difficult time for many of us, especially Eb3 folks, but please don't loose your cool. Writing just on the forum will not get you anything. Contact your chapter leaders try to organize by actual calling each others. Learn what intiatives are already underway.
In the past there had been several discussion on filing lawsuit , doing this , doing that etc but not a single one of them even moved beyond this forum. If you are interseted I can give you those examples.
Now, let me share with you a story:
Belling the Cat
Long ago, the mice (folks on this forum) held a general council to consider what measures they could take to outwit their common enemy, the cat (read USCIS). Some said this, and some said that; but at last a young mouse got up and said he had a proposal to make, which he thought would meet the case.
"You will all agree," said he, "that our chief danger consists in the sly and treacherous manner in which the enemy approaches us. Now, if we could receive some signal of her approach, we could easily escape from her. I venture, therefore, to propose that a small bell be procured, and attached by a ribbon round the neck of the cat (read campaign/ lawsuits against USCIS) . By this means we should always know when she was about, and could easily retire while she was in the neighborhood."
This proposal met with general applause, until an old mouse got up and said, "That is all very well, but who is to bell the cat?"
The mice looked at one another and nobody spoke. Then the old mouse said, "It is easy to propose difficult remedies."
