The Department of State (DOS) has issued a regulation that broadens the authority of consular officers to revoke a visa at any time subsequent to issuance of the visa, including when the individual is already in the U.S. Additionally, the regulation allows consular officers and designated officials within DOS to revoke a visa provisionally while considering a final visa revocation.
This rule is effective April 27, 2011. DOS did not issue the regulation through notice and comment rulemaking on the basis that it involves a foreign affairs function of the United States and, therefore, is exempt from those procedures.
Pursuant to section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), DOS may determine that a visa should be revoked when information reveals that the applicant was originally, or has since become, ineligible or may be ineligible to possess a U.S. visa. In testimony before Congress in 2004, DOS stated that it had revoked 1,250 visas since September 11, 2001, based on information suggesting possible terrorist activities or links. Congress and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) have put pressure on DOS and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to improve their policies regarding visa revocations.
If DOS revokes an individual�s visa, the information will be uploaded into the Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS) database and the foreign national may not use the visa for travel to the U.S. Though DOS will seek to notify the traveler, the revocation is effective irrespective of whether the foreign traveler knows about the revocation.
Separately, the INA allows the government to remove (i.e. deport) an individual whose nonimmigrant visa has been revoked under section 221(i). There is no judicial review of the decision to revoke the visa, but there is judicial review in the context of a removal proceeding if the visa revocation is the sole basis for removal.
Expect more denials at the port of entry to the US by individuals not aware that their visa has been revoked. I understand the need for more security but this may not be the way to go.

Share experience about Vonage about calling India.
Vonage, a provider of voice over Internet protocol phone service, has reached a settlement with Kentucky, Indiana and 30 other states over allegations of deceptive marketing and unscrupulous customer service procedures.
Under the agreement, Vonage will make �significant� changes to its marketing practices and handling of consumer cancellation requests. It also will provide refunds to eligible customers.
The company will pay the states a total of $3 million for reimbursement of legal and investigative costs. Kentucky�s portion of the reimbursement is $45,000, according to a news release from Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway�s office.
Vonage officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
Vonage was ordered to provide refunds to customers who did not receive rebates they believed they were due because their accounts weren�t open long enough to qualify or because they spent a portion of their trial periods waiting to receive or return equipment.
Refunds also will be provided to customers who were assessed excess usage charges without being informed of usage limits, received additional monthly service charges because of difficulty in canceling service, or received charges for unordered services and equipment offered as free.
Under the settlement, Holmdel, N.J.-based Vonage (NYSE: VG) must revise its disclosures for offers of free services, money-back guarantees and trial periods, according to the release. The company also must follow strict guidelines in dealing with customers wishing to cancel their service.
Through their investigation, the states found that Vonage paid bonuses to customer service representatives who retained customers. As a result, many customers had difficulty canceling their service.
Now, Vonage must record and verify conversations between customers and the company�s customer service representatives, according to the release.
Vonage customers who believe they are eligible for a refund under the settlement can call the Kentucky Attorney General�s Office of Consumer Protection hotline at (888) 432-9257, or download a complaint form at Kentucky: Attorney General Jack Conway - Forms (http://ag.ky.gov/civil/consumerprotection/complaints/forms.htm).

Today i received my EAD card, It says fingerprint not available. I have not yet received FP notice
Has this happened to anybody else, will i have to update EAD card after FP, how does this work
Filed on July 16th, My checks were cashed on 10th Sep
Thanks
vinod
First EAD will have no fingerprints, since you have not gone through FP.
Its normal. Read other threads.
You will not need to update EADs, renewal next year will take care of this automatically.
Could you please provide some more info on your case...ie. filed with which service center, case transfered or not....Remember this is community site, we share information/knowledge for benefit of each other, Thanks

My Permanent residency is being processed thru Employer A (I-140 not done yet).
Employer A also holds my H1B. This is my only H1B, and it extends based on approved labor as I am on my 7th year if H1B.
If A files for Chapter 11, will my H1B and permanent residency get cancelled/revoked?
If my current H1B is valid till Nov 2010, and employer A files for chapter 11 in Dec 2010, will I be able to stay/work in US at least till Nov 2010?
What will be my options if H1B / GC gets cancelled? Can I transfer this H1B to a different employer? Or, can a different employer has to file for a new H1B? :confused:
Your answer/advices are highly appreciated.
GC/H1 sponsoring employer filing Ch11 has no implications on your current H1 or pending GC until the company starts liquidating (files Ch7). I have been in the same situation and I just recently used AC21 and changed employers by transferring my H1 to my new employer. Original company has been in Ch11 since Jan'09. My 8-11 yrs H1 extension (based on approved I-140) with my original company was pending when they filed Ch11 and USCIS had no issues approving it in Mar. As long as your current position is not eliminated (laid off), there is no problem. It will definitely be an issue if the company announces Ch7 liquidation before you can transfer to a new employer. Once the company is in Ch7 and USCIS figures it out, then it could revoke your H1 or send a NOID on your I-485. Hope this helps.

well queen my long lost thought you were gone forever to never come back friend. I am not to familiar with the nikon lenses i would imaging the logical side would be to cover as many focal lengths as possible and that would be covered by the 18-55 and the 55-200mm lenses. however im not sure if the 18-135 lens offers supperior glass or not. If it does i would say that would be the one you go with. anyway it sure is nice to see you on here queen i must say i missed ya.

WOW! they'll accept applications without medical examinations. Wish I had known that before sending my second app. :( Seems like USCIS is more forgiving this time around - you think the flowers had something to do with it?;)
Hope they treat my G-325 oversight the same way and issue an RFE instead of outright rejecting the application. (Fingers crossed)

I am looking to accept a new full time position on H1b with a company other than my current employer. My current employer has offered me to continue with them on a partime basis with a concurrent H1 and I am looking to convert my current full time H1 into a part-time H1 and get the new company to file a new concurrent H1 petition for me for full time. There is no change in title or job description.
My question is whether changing a full time H1 into a part time (40 hrs/wk vs 20 hrs/month) constitute a material change ? and thus require filing of a new ameneded petition ? And are the filing fees same for an amended petition as for a new petiton.
Would appreciate if someone knowledgeable would comment.
Yes you will have to file a new amended petition for the part time work. You might have problem if you first file a concurrent full time H1 as you might be asked how will you work 80hrs a week? So you can file for a H1b "transfer" for the full time work and then file for a concurrent part-time H1b.

Hello,
I would appreciate any help on the below matter. Thanks in advance!
My information:
----------------------
Priority Data: March 2008
I-140 approved
About to apply for 3 year extension of H1B after 6th year( which expires on Dec 1st 2011)
My Questions
----------------------
If I move to another company as soon as my 3 year H1B extension comes through and they start my GC process again, what do I have to be careful about regarding
1. Is this even possible?
2. Will the H1B keep getting extended after I switch employers.
3. Can I keep my PD?
4. If the new company is in a slightly different field but my job remains similar, does that matter?
5. What happens if after I transfer, my current employer revokes my i-140? Does that matter since my new employer will restart my GC process anyway? (Also, do i get to keep my PD in this case?)
Thank you very much!

Its a shame that they still promote the 50,000 GC visas for the so called "diversity" program. And yet don't care about the 100's of thousands folks who are legally here and aspiring to assimilate with the American society and paying huge taxes (H1's do pa more taxes then citizens).

Else where in IV (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=7026&postcount=172), I posted that the core bill under consideration is Specter S.Amdt 3192, which has already amended Specter's S.2454. So, the Hagel-Martinez 3 core provisions will be added to S.Amdt 3192.
But what about the discussion of other 228 amendments now cloture has passed and discussion and voting allowed on these.

Since lawyers are opposing e-verify, e-verify should be good for us. ;);)

I know many people have been applying and reapplying for EADs and renewals.
I am trying to see if I can figure out any trends in how they are selecting cases for 2 yr renewals.
Please post your EB category, PD(month/yr is adequate), and approved EAD length. If we get sufficient responses perhaps we can see any trends.
