U.S. Department of Labor has implemented a new integrated online system � known as the iCert Portal � through which employers can submit applications for permanent labor certification, labor condition applications (LCAs) and other applications for immigration-related DOL programs. In addition, the agency will introduce new editions of Form ETA-9089, the PERM labor certification application, and have already introduced Form ETA-9035, the labor condition application. iCert has already replaced the method of LCA filing for H-1B. The new iCert system begins to accept LCAs as of July 1, 2009. Employer and attorneys as the case may be, can still use the old LCA account but cannot submit new LCA. New LCA has to be filed from iCert.
Following are the new changes which has taken place:
- The new LCA requires writing the SOC (ONET/OES) code and the occupation title for the job.
- The new LCA has a section for basis for the visa classification supported by the application. There are the following categories:
a. New employment;
b. Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer;
c. Change in previously approved employment;
d. New concurrent employment;
e. Change of employer;
f. Amended petition.
- One has to indicate the total number of H-1B/H-1B1 (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) non-immigrant workers.
- The new LCA also requires, in the employer information section, to indicate the Trade name/doing business as (DBA), if applicable, the old LCA does not have this requirement.
- In the new LCA, one is required to write NAICS code.
- There is a new section in the new LCA - Employer point of contact information, which requires to indicate the following: full contact�s name; contact�s job; contact�s address; contact�s telephone number; contact�s e-mail address.

I know that there are too many threads open initiating new campaigns, and asking the IV administrators to make the threads sticky. However there is something that we can demand as part of administrative reforms at USCIS, without any need for congressional relief.
When any type of application reaches USCIS, it kinda goes into a black hole. Unless there is a decision on the application, all an applicant do is to cross the figures, and hope that the outcome will be favorable. Worst, sometimes people with later priority date get the approval, and the all a victim with pretty much straight forward case can do is self consolation.
We all know that there is a USCIS case login page, which allows us to create a portfolio and track the case approval. But the information provided by this site is really basic (Informing the applicant that the application was received on such and such date, and its pending for processing at our processing center). Why can't we ask USCIS to improve this portal, so that an applicant can view the details of the case like FP, background check result, priority date, associated 140 status, etc. I am giving this example for a 485 application, but this service can be provided for all other types of cases like H1B, EAD, AP, 140, 485, Labor Certification, etc.
BTW, I saw a note on immigration-law.com, and according to them its a just four (yes only four) member team which is managing their information technology at USCIS. On a lighter note, I feel like creating an Open Source software consortium which will develop the software to add in efficient case processing and better services, where USCIS can download the source code to enable faster deployment of customer services portals.
Anyway, fun apart, I think we should start a campaign to get more meaningful information from customer portal: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp
This way the case processing would be more transparent, an applicant will have more information about the case, the number of phone calls USCIS receive will go down substantially, and people like us will have much more peace of mind. I was wondering if we can come up with a case status detail page, that contains majority of info/updates we applicants want to see. It should not be difficult to compile such information. So meanwhile, when nothing much is expected from Congress on legal immigration relief, at least USCIS can provide this type of service improvement. Any ideas, criticism, pros and cons of such thing?

Go ahead and apply, as long as you get the receipt before expiry date on her I-94, you should be fine. You will have to be ready for her return to India ASAP if her extension petition is denied, as she might start incurring illegal stay, which might create hindrance for her next visit or her next VISA application.
It would be a good idea to state about her anticipated visit to other states etc. instead of other reason.
It is likely that she might get RFE, but it should all be answerable.

I don't see any relevance of this Bill to our cause. What's the point in posting this here? Or am I missing something?
Congress Passes Border Fence Bill
from: http://www.numbersusa.com/index
Amnesty/Guestworker Programs Denied Before the Election
(September 30): Late Friday evening, the Senate passed H.R. 6061, the Secure Fence Act, by a 80-19 vote. The House had previously passed H.R. 6061 by a vote of 283-138-1 on September 14. It will now go to the President for signature. No further immigration-related action is expected in either chamber prior to the election.
This is a great victory, but much more needs to be accomplished. When Congress begins its post-election session on November 13, the push will begin again to pass additional enforcement measures, such as mandatory workplace employment verification and mandatory federal cooperation with state/local law enforcement, and to prevent amnesty and temporary worker programs from being revived.

Hello Everyone,
I have a question related to my H1b. I used to work for employer A till Feb 2, 2007(Friday) and then moved on to employer B. I started on a project for employer B on Feb 12, 2007(Next Monday). At that time it was decided that my start date for Employer B would be Feb 5, 2007 to maintain the continuity in the job experience, although the project start date was Feb 12.
Now I have moved on from Employer B to C and employer B is saying that they can provide an experience letter showing start date as Feb 12th only because thats how they had it setup at that time.
This effectively means that I had no job for a week Feb 5-10. I am sure that employer A didnt canceled my H1b so I dont think I was out of status, but can this "out of job" status affect my GC or any other immigration related processing in future?
As you would notice, this is my first post so please excuse me if a similiar question was asked earlier. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sandeep.

Hi can someone advise me what is the best way and steps (forms and other supporting documents) to extend the stay for my mother in law beyond the 6 months as given on her entry under 10 year visitor visa for few more months (3-4 months) please. We have a religious ceremony so that she can stay beyond the 6 months and attend. One of the lawyers told me that beyond 6 month as given during her entry is not possible which I doubt it. Pl advise/share your experiences from those of you have gone through this process recently.

This is a very sad message this morning I got to read from my inbox. I am not bothered about losing the pledge, but I am shocked to see only 88 members pledged. The sadest part is that this pledge is created by a US Citizen for IV.
IV Members 6000+
Retrogressed members 350,000+
Why only 88 pledged? Many people wants free ride which they cannot get if they dont want to unite for the common cause. I know most of the H1b holders are paid well and spend a lot. But when it comes to donate, they feel $1 equivalent to $1000. The reason is they feel they are not getting anything in return which is not true and they feel they are smart to get a free ride when others donate.
If you dont unite for the common cause, everyone including is going to struggle to get what you want. But at least the donated members will feel good about trying their best.
*************** EMAIL FROM PLEDGEBANK *****************
We are sorry to have to inform you that the pledge to which you
signed up did not meet its target in the required time. It
required 1000 other people, but achieved only 88.
The pledge, created by Randall Emery, read: 'I will donate $10
monthly to Immigration Voice for one year but only if 1,000
other people will too.'
This means you don't have to do your part of the pledge.

Is there any minimum length of time to be on H4 before applying to H1.
No. Most people are never on H-4 when they apply for H-1B. The only catch is that it might raise a suspicion if a person entered in H-4 status and immediately filed to change to H-1B, say within a couple of days. A difficult CIS officer might consider that this meant that the person entered by misrepresenting their true intention. However, given that there is a cap and the person couldn't start on H-1B until 10/1 anyway, that should be OK.

Hi,
I have a question regarding changing L1 to H1-B visa. If someone comes to US on an L1 visa can he/she change to H1-B visa without going back to India and getting the new H1-B visa stamped? What is the process to remain in the US and changing the status from L1 to H1? Will
Again, I assume that in order to change from L1 to H1-B the H1-B cap rule applies.
