Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has successfully carried out a crusade against the fraud and deception of "immigration consultants" who take advantage of unknowing and vulnerable immigrants. At a recent media conference, Cuomo indicated that his office is seeking civil remedies, at least initially against those involved in immigration assistance fraud because the first goal is to get restitution for victims. http://www.ag.ny.gov/media_center/2010/mar/mar1a_10.html
The latest victory in the fight against immigration fraud and victimization was announced by Cuomo's office on March 1, 2010. The Attorney Generals' Office has won a court judgment of more than $3 million against a "consultant" in Queens who has targeted and defrauded immigrants. In this case, the "consultant" routinely charged a retainer of $7,000 with fees often reaching up to $15,000 per person for the promise of permanent residence. The consultant wrongly claimed that she could get permanent resident status through alleged relationships with government officials. Of course, the services were never performed and the consultant routinely refused to give refunds or return documents.
As a result of Cuomo's lawsuit, the New York Supreme Court has ordered the consultant to pay full restitution to 37 families who came forward and demonstrated that they were defrauded by this consultant. An additional $2.7 million in penalties was imposed for engaging in the unauthorized practice of law and misrepresentation of services that could be performed. The consultant is also permanently restricted directly and indirectly from engaging in the business of immigration-related services.
Over the past several months, other consultants have been shut down and active investigations continue. The fight to end this blight on immigrant communities in New York City and State continues and serves as an example for all who are committed to fighting immigration fraud and the unauthorized practice of law.

Guru, I intend to seek your opinion/thoughts on some thing that is going on in mind.
I am working as a contractor for a Insurance Company. My GC process is started thru a desi consulting company. Priority date is Jun 2007 EB3 - India
The company is now offerring me to join them as permanent employee. They are saying they can help me with immigration.
My question is .. I dont understand how they can help me. I think the best they can do it apply as EB2 - India. (Which we heard recently is no better then my current EB3 India.)
Am I missing anything here ? Trying to make up my mind one way or the other (to accept this position or not.)

Hi, My mother lives in Haiti, i was not able to file a petition for her before the earthquake happened. Now with all of that going on, i need to know how to file and get her quicker to the us? Any response will be greatly appreciated, thank you
I don't know the solution to your problem but I was listening to NPR the other day and they were talking about unknown organizations just trying to catch unawares by getting money up to $4K in promise of filing paperwork to get their family from Haiti to the US.
What ever you do, please use caution and common sense.

I think any non-H1 (including H4) stay wont count. You will have full 6 yrs on H1 visa.
This is wrong. If you go out of USA and come back after a gap of 1 year, then only u will get full 6 years. Other wise whatever your status is ( as L1, B1 etc ) that will count into H1 period

It is called interfiling. You can use a new 140 (approved or pending) to replace the existing 140 (approved or pending) for an I-485. Even though the common perception is that the PD must be current, it is not true (per Murthy).
I'm not a legal person, please verify from an attorney
Where did you find this on Murthy. I ask this because I have a similar but slightly different situation where I have an EB-1 140 pending and I concurrently filed an EB-2 NIW. If the EB-1 140 comes through by chance I would like the already filed I-485 to be attached to the EB-1 at that point.
I have been looking for an answer to this question but haven't found a satisfactory answer anywhere.

My friend came to US on January through one bodyshopper on H1B visa and he was on project for 4 months.When his project is over and he is on bench then his employer forcing him to send him a email stating that he will be on leave without pay and immediately his employer stopped paying him salary from the day he was on bench.
Can any one please guide me that how to file complaint to DOL against his body shopper.
Also i wanted to know that will DOL take any against his body shopper and what information DOL will ask as currently my friend does not wanted to confront with his employer.
Thanks

He is entitled to a formal letter of layoff and a ticket back to India from the employer.

Thanks Elaine for the quick reply. He worked for a non-profit organisation earlier so either way he'll be cap subject. He might need to come here on B1 and would it possible to convert from B1 to H1 after coming to US or will he need to go back to INDIA and appy for H1 visa at the consulate. One benefit of converting in US would be to find the right employer given the economic conditions.
Does his previous stay on F1 & H1 help anyway that he has fair intentions to work here legally while requesting from B1 to H1 or is it recommended to do so while in US and apply for H1 from home country only.
Thanks in advance.

Friends,
Does anyone know if people who've filed for I-485 can claim unemployment insurance?......The client where I was working cancelled my project due to budget cuts :(....I was wondering if I can claim unemployment till I find a new job. Does any one know any non-desi companies hiring in the Michigan, Ohio, Illinois or Midwest in general?.....I am PMI certified Project Manager with J2EE background. Any prompt help would be highly appreciated.
Michigan state DIT is hiring J2EE candidates. Recently few people joined the state. Try with the state.

All,
I want to get my Wife�s name (FNU case) corrected in the L2 petition. What is the process for that? I have read that a Visa amendment needs to be filed but didn�t find any such amendment form on USCIS site.
She only had her first name in the passport hence both the petition and I-94 had her name as FNU HERFIRSTNAME. I am planning to get her name corrected in passport first by applying for a new passport at consulate. Afer that, need to get her name corrected in the L2 visa petition. I-94 should get corrected when we re-enter US next year as current one is already expired.
Has anyone got the visa petition corrected? Please let me know the process. Appreciate help from everyone.
Thanks,
Prashant

Hi,
I have H1 that is valid till 2011 but when I entered using H1 ( I had EAD and AP also), the visa officer gave i-94 only till Jun 3rd 2009. I did not notice this error at that time. I realized this when my attorney pointed out this while applying for my new AP. The attorney suggested that I should go out of the country and re enter on EAD/AP and start working on EAD. What are my options ?
1) My EAD is valid till 2010
2) My current H1 is valid till 2011
3) My current AP is Valid till August 28 2009
4) My I-94 expired on June 3rd 2009.
5) My H1 visa stamp expired on May 2009
Should I go to Canada or Mexico and re-enter US with EAD/AP before my AP expires to start working on EAD and avoid any "out of status" issues ?
Does Canada Mexico ask for valid VISA and I-94 to get a visitor visa ?
Should I go to India(my home country) and re-enter US before my AP expires to keep my status ?
Appreciate a quick response as my AP is about to expire.

Here (http://www.dphoto.us/forumphotos/showgallery.php?cat=1377) are a few pictures from my excursion to Turkey Run S P last weekend. While my camera performed better than I expected from a late-90's era 2.7MP DSLR, I didn't fare so well, coming home with far fewer "keepers" than I would have liked. My greatest problem was that I either didn't set up a tripod or failed to increase the ISO to get more DOF in many landscape shots that needed it, and frequently I also got motion blur from lack of tripod usage. This experience has taught me that for me personally, even though the D1 is 2 stops faster than Velvia, I still must slow down and use a tripod - not only to prevent blur and enable slower exposures, but also to force a slower and more thoughtful pace of composition.

neither lawyer nor employer received Labor Hard Copy until today. I missed I-140 Premium
Processing because of Hard copy.
I signed one page of the original document (which the employer/lawyer should send to you)
before filing your I-140.
Thanks

Hi,
I am (L1 B) in US since April 2008 with my wife (L2). Our I-94 and VISA expired on Oct 08. Before expiration my company applied for the extension of L1 (I-129). The status changed to "Request for RFE" on Feb 09. Got the RFE with 11 questions yesterday. The questions asked were more about my specialty, my company and the clients contract, other fellow aliens from my company working for the client's status and profiles. So now not sure what my company will do with the RFE.
My questions are -
1. If my company withdraws the L1 Extension petition, then how many more days I will be able to stay in US legally.
2. My wife is currently 22+ weeks pregnant, will US Govt consider anything for her medical situation?
3. Whats the possibility that VSC will accept the extension if we send the answers to the RFE?
4. If the petition is denied, then how many more days I will be able to stay legally?
I would appreciate if anybody can answer my questions.
Thanks in advance.
