In case, if we dont have a birth certificate, I understand we need to submit 2 affidavits and NA certificate from the place where we were born.
My question is, do we need them in original or copies will work?
If we need originals, getting them from India takes time...
Pl advice. Thanks

To Implement Policy, Bush to Turn to Administrative Orders (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/30/AR2007103000558.html) By Michael Abramowitz and Jonathan Weisman | Washington Post Staff Writers, October 31, 2007
The White House plans to try implementing as much new policy as it can by administrative order while stepping up its confrontational rhetoric with Congress after concluding that President Bush cannot do much business with the Democratic leadership, administration officials said.
According to those officials, Bush and his advisers blame Democrats for the holdup of Judge Michael B. Mukasey's nomination to be attorney general, the failure to pass any of the 12 annual spending bills, and what they see as their refusal to involve the White House in any meaningful negotiations over the stalemated children's health-care legislation.
White House aides say the only way Bush seems to be able to influence the process is by vetoing legislation or by issuing administrative orders, as he has in recent weeks on veterans' health care, air-traffic congestion, protecting endangered fish and immigration. They say they expect Bush to issue more of such orders in the next several months, even as he speaks out on the need to limit spending and resist any tax increases.
The events of recent weeks have "crystallized that the chances of these leaders meeting the administration halfway are becoming increasingly remote," said White House spokesman Tony Fratto.
Bush himself has been complaining more and more bitterly about congressional Democrats in recent weeks. In a private meeting yesterday with House Republicans in the East Room of the White House, Bush recalled how he had been able to work with Democrats when he was Texas governor and said he had hoped to find the same relationships in Washington.
"He sort of longs for those days, when both sides were genuinely interested in getting along and getting a deal," said Rep. Adam H. Putnam (R-Fla.), the chairman of the House Republican Conference, who helped organize yesterday's White House meeting, attended by about 150 Republicans.
The president offered more criticism after the session. "Congress is not getting its work done," Bush said. "We're near the end of the year, and there really isn't much to show for it."
House Democratic leaders fired back at Bush with strong rhetoric of their own. "The president wants the same complacent, complicit Congress that was a co-conspirator in a coverup of what was going on in this country," said House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.).
Both sides have their own political calculations for digging in, with the White House and Republicans seeking to reestablish their credentials as fiscal conservatives and with Democrats concluding that they are on the right side politically on children's health care and other issues.
On some issues, the White House has become increasingly left out of the legislative process. Bush's objection to any tax increases, for instance, has pushed Republicans in the House and the Senate to pursue their own negotiations over an expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), concluding that a final bill must include a significant tobacco tax increase to offset its cost.
Even as they offer the president public support, some Republicans on the Hill are hinting that they might break with Bush if the price is right. Asked yesterday whether he could support an SCHIP bill that Bush opposes, House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) suggested that is a possibility. "He has his position. House Republicans have theirs," Boehner said.
While Bush castigated Democrats for lack of productivity, congressional Republicans have had their own reasons for moving slowly. On SCHIP, for example, they have said that both sides could reach a deal if the Democratic leadership would slow down and let negotiations proceed.
GOP Sens. Charles E. Grassley (Iowa) and Orrin G. Hatch (Utah) personally appealed to Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) for a delay yesterday. Reid agreed and asked the Senate to put off consideration of the latest version of the bill to let bipartisan talks continue. This time, Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-Miss.) objected to the move.
"That makes an interesting statement about the president's press conference this morning, that we just can't get those Democrats to do anything," said Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), one of the SCHIP negotiators.

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.

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.

As the prospects for Immigration reform are becoming more of a reality, so does the debate about illegal Immigration is more real than ever. A story just came in from CNN an Arizona man caught leaving water bottles in the desert for illegal immigrants has been sentenced to 300 hours of community service and a year of probation.
Walt Staton, a member of the group No More Deaths, left full water bottles in December in Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge for the illegal immigrants who routinely pass through the 18,000-acre refuge. Read more here (http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/08/13/arizona.immigrant.advocate/index.html)
As the Immigration debate heats up this summer, expect more stories like this one.

hi,
As far as I know you do not need to get a new visa stamping. At least, it was like that when I was on F-1. What you need to re-enter is to have I-20 from new school. Check with the school's international students adviser.

Thanks

Hi all.
I just came back from Canada after 4 days using 30 day rule as I wanted to recoup few days so that my co. can apply for 7th year extension because my LC shall be pending for more than 365 days. My question is does my employer have to file two seperate LCAs for each I-129 application or same LCA copy can be attached with each I-129 ( 1st I-129 for extension for 3 days, 2nd I-129 for 1 year extension ) ?
( NOTE- MY I-94 WAS EXPIRING ON 15TH MAY AND LABOR CERT. SHALL BE PENDING FOR MORE THAN 365 DAYS ON 17TH MAY, SO I HAD TO TRAVEL OUTSIDE USA TO RECOUP FEW DAYS)

Moved to O-3 as dependent due to old 6 yr H1-B rule.
O-3 9/2001 to 5/2006
Stepped out of the US in May 2006
The intention was to get a full 6 yr H1-B (decoupling didn't exist)
Questions while applying for H1-B to reclaim reminder of 6 yrs in H1-B
1) Can she apply for H1-B while she is in India?
2) Can she enter the country as my dependant and work on approved H1-B?

Guru's,
I am on my 7th year H1B, valid until next year.
My labor was approved Oct,2007 under EB3 (all education from India).
I-140 was applied in May, 2008 and it has been a frustrating 2+ yrs since I have heard anything. Attorney inquired with the USCIS and got a response that it is still under review.
This delay seems to be very unusual. Do you think this delay is due to my education from India only. I have seen folks with Master's degree from US gettting I-140 in 2 - 6 months max. I am worried that this may turn into a denial.
Anyone has similar experiences with education only from India.? Any advice if I should go for I-140 premium processing or wait ?
