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.

The regulation bans improper commerce and payment for labor certifications. It bans the sale, barter, or purchase of labor certifications. Employers cannot seek or receive payment of any kind for activity related to the labor certification. This includes payment of the employer's attorney fees and costs. Individuals can pay for their own legal fees for separate representation, but the labor certification is regarded as the employer's cost. If there is dual representation, the employer must pay the attorney fees and related costs. This applies only to the labor certification stage.
Even if the law prohibits it, still companies pass fees and costs to the employee...

The HR/Lawyer has to decide the category, you can't. The job category is based on what the job requires, not what you have. If you have 20 years of experience but the job requires just BS, it falls into EB3. Good luck.

Washington, D.C. � Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) today introduced a bill to void the recent increases in immigration fees by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The bill would void the new fee structure set to take effect today and reinstate the previous fee structure. The bill also states that USCIS has consistently failed to reduce application backlogs and has suffered from a lack of transparency and effective management.
�Our immigration services need to move into the 21st century,� stated Rep. Zoe Lofgren. �But, USCIS has consistently failed to explain or justify the amounts and distributions of this new fee increase. While I agree that USCIS needs to modernize its existing infrastructure and procedures, they must do so in a transparent and open manner. After repeated requests over several months, USCIS has yet to provide Congress with a detailed plan for its infrastructure modernization efforts. Our immigration system should be both effective and fair; sacrificing one to achieve the other should not be an option.�
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren is serving her seventh term in Congress representing most of the City of San Jose and Santa Clara County. She serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law. She also Chairs the House Administration Subcommittee on Elections and serves on the House Homeland Security Committee. Congresswoman Lofgren is Chair of the California Democratic Congressional Delegation consisting of 34 Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives from California.

Hi ,
I am in strange situation. I am in 7th year of H1B and I have applied for H1B extension which was expiring on April 4th through my company on Feb 14th through normal processing. I have the LIN number from receipt notice. I was never able to check the status online as the LIN number was not found and when attorney called USCIS regarding this on March 23rd, We were told that the information will be updated to see the status online. Our attorney did not follow up with USCIS since then. Our attorney followed up again just today and found that an RFE was sent on March 25th which was never received by attorney. Currently we do not know what exactly is requested in the RFE or dead line for the response. RFE was requested again today from USCIS and was told that will be received in around 30 days. Do you think new dead line will be given for the RFE as the initial deadline might have passed for the initial RFE. I am not sure what to do at this point if I am in status or not. Please provide your advise as to what I should be doing? Appreciate your advises.
Thanks for your help.

IRS can also FAX the tax forms and W-2's but they do not have that information for the latest tax year. This means that they will not be able to provide you with the 2006 tax return. Also, my lawyer asked me for W2's of past 3 years. Both my husband (since he is on H1 too) and I had to provide W2's of 2004, 2005 and 2006

I have received my green card 5 months ago and still working for the same GC filing employer(a consulting company). My wife had an RFE on her GC, since she could not take MMR at 2007 fiasco time. We have recently replied with the evidence. Now my project is getting over at the client site in next couple of weeks. I am sure that I can lose my job at consulting company also.
My question is, what happens to wife's GC? What if there is another RFE and how can I reply it?
Please let me know my options.

Ok, just removed the unwanted extra variable in the OnPropertyChanged
So, now its looks simple,
protected void OnPropertyChanged(String name)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(name));
}
}

How about working on an EAD in a part-time job while working full-time on your h1 sponsored job? I assume the h1 will not become invalid in this case because EAD is being used for the part time job.
Once you use your EAD , it mean you are forefitting your H1 , H1 is a status , u cant be in 2 status at the same time. Once the part time employer uses your EAD card to give you a job basically he has to submit that info to the INS and that will automatically invalidate your H1 status. This EAD which u received is for allowing you to work which the change of status from H1 to green card is taking place.
