Nebraska immigration law passes - CNN.com (http://edition.cnn.com/2010/US/06/22/nebraska.immigration/)
(CNN) -- Voters in Fremont, Nebraska passed a much-debated immigration measure Monday that would prohibit businesses and landlords from hiring or renting to illegal immigrants.
The ordinance had divided the community and put the eastern Nebraskan city into national headlines.
A local organization decried the new ordinance on its website.
"It is with great disappointment and sadness that tonight we acknowledge a majority of Fremont voters approving this misguided ordinance," the group called One Fremont-One Future said. "In reality, the passage of this ordinance shows that we have much work to do in our community to educate, break down barriers, and build relationships."
The American Civil Liberties Union has indicated it will file a lawsuit.
Similar measures were passed in Hazelton, Pennsylvania, and Farmers Branch, Texas, but they were later struck down by the courts.
In Hazelton, voters in 2006 approved a measure to enact practically the same law that Fremont has voted to adopt. But in July 2007, a federal judge found that immigration laws should be left solely to the federal government.
In May of 2008, a federal judge ruled the Farmers Branch law, which would bar landlords from renting to illegal immigrants, was unconstitutional.
"Those ordinances did not withstand legal scrutiny. They both failed in the courts when they were challenged," said Laurel Marsh, executive director of Nebraska's ACLU.
The reason according to Marsh: Both laws violated the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy clause and the 14th Amendment.
In addition, she said it's the federal government's responsibility to set immigration policy and "we are not well-served when communities or states try to set policy on their own."
Gregory Minchak of the National League of Cities said that it's the lack of federal immigration policy that is causing these cities to take matters into their own hands.
"Because of the absence of the feds doing anything, there's a lot of financial, cultural, political strains that are occurring [in cities and states]," he said. "They are just starting to act on their own."

I have a query related to entitlement of salary and back wages. I was laid off by a big MNC software company based in Texas in Oct 2009 . Just in span of 1 week , i was offered a position by desi consulting company starting November 1 . They started my H1 transfer process stating starting date as November 1 on LCA petition . I was told to wait until H1 receipt comes and client gives green signal to start the project.
Even after getting the receipt on 30th November , i was never sent on project neither paid .
I waited till 31st December and left the country on 1st Jan 2010.
What are my rights ? Am i entitled to get the back wages as stated on LCA petition because i was never paid by employer till date ?
What is the duration period i could get the salary ?
Please let me know the process to get my pending salary if i am entitled to get any
Are you trying to come back. Why didnt you try to get back the salary when you were in US?

We got H-1B 7th year extension approved (through Premium processing) at CSC on 06/12/2008. The extension of stay was also approved. We received the I-797C (courtesy copy) and travelled to India with it (along with all the relevant documentation for the H-1B visa stamping) at Chennai. We now realize that we need to I-797A and for some reason the company's legal dept did not receive this yet. The legal dept usually receives both I-797A and I-797C. The chennai consulate does not accept I-797C for stamping.
What are our options here. Though I-140 is approved and I-485 is pending for us, I had not applied for EAD/AP since I plan to continue with my current employer (agreed it was a mistake that I did not apply for the AP). I am with my family now here in Chennai and have to return to the US at the end of July. Will the USCIS send us a duplicate since we never received the original I-797A. The other option is to file I-824 but the processing time is crazy long. Is their expedited processing available for this due to the urgency of the situation? Please help with your valuable inputs.
Thanks. MP70

dear friends,
My cousin brother (15 yrs old) has been recently diagnosed with blood cancer. He is going under treatment at TATA memorial hospital in mumbai. I have posted this before in a different thread and thanks to all for giving me valuable information. The doctors gave him a good chance for recovery. He is going through several bone marrow treatments and regular blood transfusion. We need O+ blood. I would be grateful if anybody can give me some names of prospective donors or donor groups and their contact details in mumbai. Due to urgency of the matter I will keep this thread visible by bumping up occasionally. If you wish you can e-mail me the details at sounakc@gmail.com
warm regards

I have a couple of questions regarding H1B.
My current H1B(10th year) is expiring in a month and I am planning to use EAD. My 140 is approved and 485 is pending for over 2 years with company A. At the same time my second 140 is pending with company B.
The question is, in case if I used my EAD to work and for some reason if my 485 is denied, can I get back to my H1B? I was under the impression that I will have to leave the country and wait for 1 year to reset the clock but I was told by someone that its not necessary to wait for an year and I can file a H1B based on my pending I-140 with company B and will have to do it while outside of the country. ( This process does not require a new quota).
Is this true? any ideas?
Given the situation for 485 denial. AFAIK, You have an option of filing for H1B (not counted against quota) based on your B's labor approval and pending 140. Once you use the EAD, technically you don't have the H1B status to transfer or extend. Hence, it will require you to go to consulate (b/c approval will come without I94) to stamp, and start working for Company B after you return.

Hi there ,
I will appreciate if any nurse/perosn who has knowledge about nursing profession answer my question.
What is the process for licensure to be a nurse in USA-for a person who has done GNM or BSC nursing in India.
Does it make a difference if one has done a GNM or BSc nursing from India, any advantage of one over the other?
thanks

Hi
I am Hiren Working as software developer.
I have resign from company last week,
But company don't given me experience letter , relieving letter.
company simply refused my request and said to not possible.
In another company required this letter.
Also Company using illegal pirated software to make product ..
What i have to do?
What action i should take for this?
Kindly help me ...
The dude is an anti-immigrant. He wants people to some ideas that are illegal so that he can show everyone that desis do illegal things.
Dude you cannot even write proper English. You do not even deserve to be in this country if you are legal. You better go back to your country.
If you are an anti, your English shows why you are out of job and blame immigrants. Go and learn English, get some skills and you will find a job. Otherwise go to Africa and help humanity. That is the best job.

IMO: 7th Year extn can be filed if PERM is pending for more than 365 days or if I-140 is approved.
You can also get 7th yr extension with approved labor. With approved I-140 you get 3 yrs of extension.

Can anyone tell me what is ADIT processing?
I am assuming that you got 485 approval letter and it talks about ADIT.
I think there was a long and detailed reply by somebody on this forum about ADIT
Do some research and PLEASE put complete details in the post if you want a meaningful answer.

Hi All,
We need to work towards fixing the USCIS Online Case Status System of Texas Service Center, lot of people are not receiving updates in email/website about their cases.
How will you do that? I guess, while working on cases, user has to click somewhere to send an email. If they choose not to, then there will be no email. In my case, I never saw consistency in getting emails. I don't think that is a big issue, just check your status periodically. Bigger and important issue is how to get your case processed faster, and in sequence.

Can we get any help from these guyes?
They will want H1Bs to come back to India. Helping us with the greencard does not make any business sense.

USCIS has been saying that they control the flow of visa numbers because they are expecting huge rush of 245i cases. But is there any law or clause which says that they have to work in sync with DOL. I think what the law says is that they should approve the received cases accroding to priority dates and don't have to collaborate with any other department or agency. What makes USCIS so sure that all the cases at DOL will be certified and eventually come to 485 stage. If they are so sure that all of these cases will be certified then why do we even need labour certification process. I think we should lobby the USCIS to release a quarter of yearly quota every 3 months and concentrate on already filed cases and not on whats expected.
Secondly we should try to find out if all the alloted visas in this year were used up or not. Another doubt I have is, when is a visa number used when USCIS starts working on a case or when a case is approved. If its used up when a case is approved then what happens to the visa numbers which are released in the last month of the year, Are all of those cases approved in one month?

Hope your issue is already resolved. But a friend of mine, his PERM application was also denied. But they filed an Appeal and immediately, next day, they applied for his H1-B extension (7th yr) and it got approved.

Hello folks !
Let me present my case before you all.
I came to US on H1B visa in 2004 and then my previous visa expired in 2006 and I have extended that visa but do not have it stamped on my passport as because I have not left USA during this period.
Now, I have changed a job 3 montsh back and my new employer is doing the H1B transfer which is in process. I have received the "receipt number" but yet to get the documents back from USCIS.
At this time, is it possible for me to switch to another job without having the papers from USCIS on the basis of the receipt number alone ? Or do I wait for the papers to come back from USCIS before I can think of switching another job ?
An early response is appreciated...
Thanks
