AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Just when you thought it couldn't get much worse.
Now we are told that ICE agents grab mentally ill immigrants right from mental hospitals, ship them off to a Texas detention center without word to family or counsel, and deport them. Could ICE's behavior be any more horrific?
The latest ICE outrage against immigrants has been released in a study conducted by Texas Appleseed, a public interest law center, and Akin Gump, a corporate law firm, and documents ICE's mistreatment of mentally ill immigrants at every stage of the deportation process. http://nyti.ms/atZYsB.
The report is just the latest in a stream of countless stories of neglect, abuse, and deaths of detainees in ICE detention. Some tales fit neatly into the annals of the world's most oppressive regimes, including the plight of Boubacar Bah, who, after mysteriously suffering a skull fracture, was handcuffed by ICE officials while writhing in agony in his own vomit on the floor of a New Jersey detention center, then locked-up in an isolation cell for 13 hours without medical treatment and, finally, transported to a hospital in a coma where he later died, (See Secret Horror Stories: ICE Officials Hid The Truth About Immigrant Deaths In Detention http://bit.ly/4tdHDt).
Several months ago homeland security secretary Janet Napolitano and ICE assistant secretary John Morton announced a review of the ICE detention operations with the stated goal of creating a "truly civil" detention system. But in light of the continuing reports of deaths, abuse, neglect, cover-ups, and other corruption, it is beyond dispute that the ICE detention system is a national disgrace. DHS should not tolerate even a single case of abuse or neglect of a person in ICE detention. The poor treatment of the mentally ill should also be viewed in light of the recent March 27 Washington Post article revealing dissension at top levels of ICE management. Napolitano and Morton are now suffering from a credibility gap. They must demonstrate clear and forceful leadership if they want to succeed in implementing the priorities and reforms they announced months ago on enforcement. All Americans are entitled to be secure in the knowledge that individuals detained by ICE will be treated humanely, and in accordance with applicable detention standards.

so what's the problem, what advice are you asking for?
Just provide the document indicating that the skin test was done, that's it.

Hi Ravi - My wife also got 221(g) while stamping in Mumbai. It looks like they are issuing it to all people with AP. Yesterday we entered US back using AP and did not inform the consulate. If the consulate clears 221(g), you can use it anytime upto next 1 yr. Since you have already paid them the money, why you want to say NO thanks so soon? You can enter US using AP and later inform the consulate or not inform them at all. does it make a difference? Who knows you might have to travel to India and may want to try your luck one more time.

It will never happen here. Even if it does happen, it will still have an annual quota, which would lead to priority dates.

$930 plus a biometrics fee of $80; the fee total is $1,010. Exceptions listed below. There is no fee for applicants who are filing Form I-485 based on having been admitted to the United States as a refugee. Applicants 80 years of age or older are not charged a biometric fee; the fee total is $930. Applicants under 14 years of age: - Filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent have a fee total of $600 - Not filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent have a fee total of $930
I would assume that EAD and AP have to be paid for separately.

I have searched the internet on this and had no luck.. i'm 20 weeks pregnant and Canadian married to a USC. I went for my medical today and had all of my backup for vaccinations / immunity but the immigration doctor wants me to get a tetanus shot. All information on the web says this is "safe" during pregnancy, however I am completely opposed to having a vaccination while pregnant or breast-feeding due to potential issues vaccinations can cause (eg: autism in children). While this is not readily "accepted" by the medical community, it is how I feel. Some very high profile people have talked about vaccinations and the dangers they can cause but the medical community seems to reject their logic (not enough studies.. who knows).
I don't feel that I should be subjected to this when I'm so opposed to it - I know I can apply for a "moral objection" but I can't find any information as to whether USCIS actually acknowledges these objections.
Has anyone out there been in a similar situation or know of how I can get an exemption from this during my pregnancy / breast-feeding stage?
Thanks everyone!

Let's hope that it means the next offering from Canon comes in at about that same price point (about USD$2000). Maybe they (Kodak) know something?
More likely it a natural fallout of their recent announcements regarding their positioning (or non positioning) as a camera maker.
Don
I might add that galbraiths site says that Kodak is dropping the digital backs to focus on making large sensors and develop high end DSLR's. Could be intersting.

I am also in the same boat, 140 was filed in March 07, file at TSC. The attorney never received the original LCA. Could not do premium processing for 140.
NOW the big question is, can I apply 485 since my PD is current now?

As far as I know employer sponsorship is not required for EB-1 EA case; not sure why you had to file I-140 for this ...........
EB-1 EA does not need labor certification, but still needs I-140.

My company has just changed the rules. From now they are unwilling to pay the costs incurred in the visa extensions for the spouse.
Is this legal? Does anyone have any links etc that I can pass on to HR if this is illegal. Thanks.

Over 200 congressional staffers from across the country will attend the conference to learn more about how USCIS and the U.S. Department of State work together in assisting congressional offices and their constituents. Keynote speakers include USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas and Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Consular Affairs Janice L. Jacobs.
�Each and every day we work with Members of Congress and our partners in the Department of State to address challenging immigration cases and issues,� said USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas. �We deeply appreciate the Congressional offices� participation in this week�s conference, which provides us all with the opportunity to discuss how we can better serve the public.�
Speakers from USCIS, the Bureau of Consular Affairs, U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs & Border Protection, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation will speak on a range of topics including immigration systems; citizenship and naturalization, humanitarian parole, intercountry adoptions, international child abductions, emergency assistance for U.S. citizens, and employment based visas.

Hi everyone,
I applied for my I-131, I-765 and I-485 together under EB-2 category on the 13th of September 2010. I got approval letters for both I-131 and I-765 by the 9th of November 2010. My wife and I also received our EAD cards and travel documents. But today I got another set of receipts for both I-765 and I-131 with rfe for photographs. The receipts number are different in both the previous and new receipts and the new ones are showing up in pending state on the USCIS website.
Please let me know what can be the reason I got these duplicate receipts and what should be the next steps.
Thank you all in advance,
Bathuzp
Take Infopass and talk to them. In my opinion if you have approvals in your hand, they stand valid.
USCIS - Left hand does not know what right hand does and vice versa.
I understand your confusion, I hope you find a patient officer at your infopass appointment.
Question:
Did you apply for your EAD/AP yourself and did your lawyer(if you hired) also apply for EAD/AP. Check with your lawyer and employer too.
