USCIS has reminded all applicants for Adjustment of Status, Asylum, Legalization and Temporary Protected Status to obtain an Advance Parole (AP) document before traveling abroad. AP allows an applicant to re-enter the U.S. after traveling abroad.
In order to obtain Advance Parole, individuals must file Form I-131, Application for Travel Document to USCIS. The USCIS cautions individuals planning on traveling abroad to file Form I-131 well in advance of their travel plans (approximately 90 days before) in order to prevent possible conflicts.
We suggest all applicants of I-131 to file it in time to get the AP approval before leaving the U.S., otherwise it could have dire consequences and may result in an individual not being able to re-enter. Therefore, individuals that have a pending I-485 are encouraged to apply for Advance Parole before traveling abroad for easier re-entry if the circumstances of their current status changes.

I first off apologize if there is already a thread pertaining to my questions. If so I would greatly appreciate being directed.
My situation is this...I came to the US as a visitor from Canada. As a result I did not need a I-94, a visa or a passport since i travelled by car. I am going to be married to a US citizen in a couple of weeks. I guess my questions are these...#1. Since I did not need any of those documents to enter the US, will this cause a problem while trying to prove status?
#2. I read somewhere about filing a I-30 prior to other documentation such as the I-485 and medical and so on. I was wondering if this is true or if i even need to file this document or if so if it can be filed in conjunction with the others.

I am applying for H4 visa after my recent marriage with an H1B visa holder in USA. I am currently filling out the online DS160 form but stuck at the following stage: "travel information"
In the purpose of trip to USA question: the given options are business, travel or student visas, so i selected the option: "other". On selecting this, the form loads a list of further options in order to SPECIFY: the H4 option (dependent of H1B holder) is not given in this list. The nearest applicable option is "temporary employee H1, H2". When I choose this one, then at a much later stage in the application, in the section titled "temporary work visa information" the form starts to ask information on my supposed employer etc, which is clearly UN-applicable in my case, as I am NOT applying for an H1 or H2 visa. Kindly help me out, on how to proceed with DS160 in such a situation. Waiting for reply with anticipatory thanks. Sadatj.

Hello,
I have this situation and need some advice or if anyone can share their experiences.
H1b extension was denied with reason of "Employer-employee relationship". RFE was responded to (with requested pay stubs and W-2) and was still denied. Now, attorney from company is filing for MTR. How long does MTR processing take as the case was already existing? Does that matter or it doesn't? How long did it take to get a decision from CIS?
Is it possible to file MTR from company A (employer) and to file a new petition from company B (middle vendor who has direct contract with client)? Can the MTR be withdrawn in favor of a new petition?
Did anyone go for MTR and how many days did it take to get the decision?
Thank you.

I am currently attending a college here in China. However, I have been offered some interesting jobs . These jobs require that I have a resident visa. I have been told that I can't change from a student visa to a resident visa, while in mainland China. Is this accurate? If so, is Hong Kong an option for me?

My attorney want's to file my I-485 now to have a receipt that it is filed and sent back by USCIS. This shows up that I was capable of filing in July but I could not because USCIS did not accept on the last minute.
The Idea behind is that it will give advantage to my application if AILF wins the case.
Please let me know is this a good thing to do at this stage.

gurus,
I have a question on visitor visa, please tell me is this legally okay or not
My parents got vistor visa (B1/B2) and planning to visit me,
my sister also got a visitor visa (B1/B2) through a company some time back. But she never visited US and later moved to another company.
All are 10 years multiple entry visas.
Is it okay that sister comes along with my parents? Is there a difference between company applied visitor visa and visitor visa that I sponsered.
Thanking you in advance
Anil

A Tough 5 Months, but Democrats Cite Successes (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/26/washington/26cong.html?_r=1&oref=slogin) By ROBIN TONER and CARL HULSE, New Yor Times, May 26, 2007
WASHINGTON, May 25 � After five months in power, Congressional Democrats headed home for their Memorial Day recess with only a few signature accomplishments on the domestic front, notably an increase in the minimum wage, and the prospect of returning to a renewed struggle with the Bush administration over the war in Iraq.
But Democratic leaders say their principal accomplishment, so far, is not reflected in the legislative scorecard: The transformation of the policy debate and the reassertion of Congressional power, especially on the Iraq war.
�We�ve moved the national debate on the war,� said Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate. �We were sleepwalking through this war until the Congress changed hands. And now, every month, this president faces another challenge to his policy.�
The spending legislation for Iraq that passed Thursday night, which lacked a timeline for troop withdrawal, left much of the party�s antiwar base unhappy, and carried only a third of the Democratic votes in the House. But Democratic leaders promised to ratchet up the pressure on President Bush for an exit strategy in Iraq, and they have the legislative vehicles to do so in June and July, building to what all sides expect to be a clash this fall. Top military leaders have committed to delivering a progress report on their troop buildup strategy in September.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California tried to send a clear message on Friday that any legislative victory Mr. Bush won this week, when Democrats acceded to his demands and removed the withdrawal timeline, would be short-lived. �We are going to bring an end to this war,� Ms. Pelosi said. �All of us have that goal.�
On the domestic front, Democrats passed the first minimum wage increase in 10 years this week; it was the first item in their campaign agenda from last year, called �Six-for-06,� to win final passage. Other items are prepared for final votes this summer, including an expansion of embryonic stem cell research and the recommendations of the Sept 11 commission on domestic security.
The Democrats made their mark in other ways � notably, using their committee and oversight powers for a broad challenge to administration policies, on issues including the treatment of wounded Iraq veterans and the dismissals of United States attorneys by the Justice Department. Senate Democrats said they had held 75 hearings related to Iraq in the last five months.
Even so, in the inevitable message wars, Republican leaders portrayed the Democrats as disorganized and ineffective, sending Republican members home this weekend with talking points that declare, �Democrats accomplish none in �07.� Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, the Republican leader, said Friday that the Democrats� first five months were �marked by broken promises, missed opportunities and gridlock caused by strife within the majority party�s ranks.�
But senior Republican officials and some lawmakers privately admitted that Democrats won some victories in recent days, including progress on an immigration overhaul in the Senate and the strong House vote on new lobbying rules.
One of the biggest complaints of Republicans is that House Democrats, who promised to be fairer and more bipartisan in the conduct of floor debate after a decade of heavy-handed Republican rule, have not delivered. Top Democrats admit privately that there is merit to those complaints, and have begun negotiations to try to cool the partisan tensions.
Democrats themselves reflected that little came easily over the last five months, which offered a lesson in the difficulties of governing with very slim majorities, especially in the Senate. Moreover, there are real fault lines and divisions within the party, most apparent, perhaps, on how fast and how far to go in demanding an end to the war in Iraq.
�It�s been a tough slog,� said a senior House Democratic strategist close to the leadership, alluding to the difficulties in managing the spending bill for Iraq. �You�re asking people to vote for a moderate plan instead of the plan that�s closest to their hearts.�
Representative Jim McGovern, Democrat of Massachusetts and a leader in the antiwar caucus, said Thursday night: �A lot of us are frustrated that the war�s still going on. But the fact of the matter is, there�s movement, there�s significant movement, from where we were last November to where we are now.�
Many of the party�s liberal activists, though, remained angry at what they saw as a capitulation to Mr. Bush.
Other fault lines were re-emerging in the party. House Democrats are only beginning to deal with their deep divisions on trade, as a closed caucus this week underscored. Some freshmen, like Representative Betty Sutton, Democrat of Ohio, are intent on making major changes to American trade policy, much greater than the recent deal with the Bush administration on environmental and labor standards announced by the Democratic leadership.
�Our problems with the trading system and the fact that it is broken are much bigger than just having these standards on paper,� Ms. Sutton said.
Down the road, more internal clashes are likely over taxes and spending priorities. Julian Zelizer, a historian and expert on Congress at Boston University, said Ms. Pelosi�s job would, in many ways, get harder once she moved beyond the war. �In some ways, the divisions over domestic issues are just as great, on things like trade,� Mr. Zelizer said.
Both Ms. Pelosi and her Senate counterpart, Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, have had their struggles this year. Mr. Reid drew fire for, among other things, suggesting that the Iraq war was lost. But Democratic senators have expressed strong confidence in his leadership. Ms. Pelosi, the first female speaker, has been a target of repeated Republican efforts to embarrass her. But she has weathered them and has generally held fractious Democrats together.
Representative Barney Frank, Democrat of Massachusetts, said Thursday night: �To some extent, the Democratic leadership fought above its weight. They don�t really have the votes in the Senate.�
Mr. Frank argued that sending Mr. Bush the initial Iraq spending bill, with a withdrawal timeline, and forcing him to veto it would one day be viewed as a turning point after a long pattern of �Congressional ducking.�
�I think Congress has come closer to standing up this time,� he said.

Hi,
I am currently on 8th year of H1-B, employer to file for 9th year H1 extension next week. Labor filed in Dec 07, denied in Jan 10, appealed immediately. Currently awaiting response to the labor appeal. H1 expires in Jan 2011.
I work for a consulting firm and my client has been requesting me to join full time as an employee, willing to transfer H1 immediately. My question to the experts is
If I change employer, will I have to start everything from scratch or can i continue the GC from where my current employer left?
And given the current political situation (due to the economy), should I stick to current employer until H1 extension goes through and then make a move (if any possibilities exist)?
Any advise is much appreciated.

My friend John Lamb in Nashville blogs today about ICE's Hutto detention center where whole families are jailed while awaiting deportation. I'm reminded of Charles Dickens' tales of debtors prisons in Victorian England where "lawbreakers" who violated British laws relating to debt were jailed right along with their spouses and children. It's hard for me to tell the difference. I don't know that I blame CCA, the contractor that runs the center. Nor do I necessarily blame ICE which is simply carrying out their mission. The country's policymakers carrry responsiblity - senior DHS officials, White House officials, members of Congress,...
