This is from my lawyer,
"What Are the Immigration Consequences of the Government Shutting Down?
As Congress continues its budgetary deadlock, the possibility of a government shutdown looms larger by the minute. If Congress is unable to reach accord on Friday, the government will close at midnight, Saturday April 9.
In general, if the government shuts for budgetary reasons, all but "essential" government are furloughed and not allowed to work. So what does this mean for immigration agencies?
USCIS: A couple of shutdown threats back, a USCIS official stated at a stakeholder engagement that USCIS (other than the human touches on E-Verify) would not need to shut down, since all of the agency, other than E-Verify, is funded by fees. However, it is not clear that this is the case, and at least one local office has indicated that it is working on its shutdown plan. We will update as we get more information.
DOS: If there is a shutdown, the result for DOS will likely be the same as it was in the 1996 government closing. Then, the only visa issuance being done was for some diplomats and for "life or death" situations. As DOS is wont to say "a really, really important business meeting is not life or death."
CBP: Inspection and law enforcement are considered "essential personnel," though staffing may be more limited than usual. The borders will be open, and CBP is unsure of how the shutdown will affect the processing of applications filed at the border.
EOIR: EOIR has been advised to "put its shutdown plans in place." As with other agencies, personnel who are not considered "essential" will be furloughed. EOIR has indicated that the detained docket would likely be considered an essential function and would therefore be able to continue in operation.
DOL: DOL is making plans for a possible shutdown. If there is a shutdown, DOL personnel will not be available to respond to e-mail or other inquiries. We do not know at this point whether iCERT/PERM would continue to function. However, because the systems require funding to run, practitioners should assume that they would not be available."

I happen to hear that its more easy to convert from L1 visa to Green card .Is it something that the employer has to initiate ? Can we start the process by ourselves.
please shed some light on this.
Thanks
You may be eligible to file under EB1-C. Your employer needs to sponsor.

I got my FP done a couple of weeks ago at the Dallas ASC on the scheduled date. Have noticed from other threads that people have gone to other ASC at an unscheduled date and were able to get it done. I think you can go as well and explain your situation if they object. If they are not too busy that day they might let you in; guess the hours are from 8AM to 3PM. You can try to be the first one in the morning. It doesn't take more than 15 minutes for the entire process. Good Luck!!

It all depends when someone applies for the labor, if you had BS+ 5 yrs exp and then did MS +4 yrs if you apply your labor now you can claim MS+9 again the experience at the current employer is not counted.....

I just got off the phone with a second level rep at USCIS and am getting really confused with their mixed messaged. before i push any panic buttons can some one please let me know if they had any conversations with the idiotic bunch at uscis and share your conversations with regards to the visa availability for next month. this idiot states that vsc just oversubscribed and that it could be that there wont be any movement on the cases. all this over enthusiasm for nothing - that would really infuriate me. there is a limit to the fuss they can cause and play with emotions.
Did he say vsc(vermont service center) ?
is vsc still processing 485 cases?

but we sent out the application package on June 28 (Friday) and the USCIS received our package on July 1st (Based on the Fedex tracking record). There is no way that my employer can refer to the new prevailing wage databse, which is released on July 1st.
Save the FedEx receipts etc, they might be useful in case of RFE.

Mmmm, doesn't have a lot of stumpiness. I mean. I can see the stump, and there's nice light, but the bottom of the stump is dark, and the shape isn't defined as a stump. I think a different wider angle making the stump more obvious in it's surreoundings, or a tighter shot for an abstract pattern/texture might have worked better. I can see why you composed it as you did, there's nice light/dark balance overall, but there is no particular focal point for the eye and that leaves you sort of wandering when you look at it. My opinion, your mileage may vary...

Friends,
Our (Me / Spouse / Kid) I-485 is pending approval and our priority date is May 2007 EB2 India. I am planning to send my spouse and Kid to India for kid education. I do not want to cancel their I-485. They may stay in India till I get my GC :=) ( I dont know when)..
Initially I thought of bringing them to US every year to renew the AP. But It is expensive for me and I am thinking it is not a wise idea.
I am thinking of applying the Consular processing only to Spouse and Kid in India. They are dependants to me. I am the primary applicant. Is it possible/allowed to apply consular processing only for dependants and keep the Primary applicant in AOS
Thanks

H1 with company (X) was denied on May 2008, but made appeal to it and its in the process.
during the same time
i have applied for H1 transfer to company (Y) throught consular processing. I got approval.
If i go for Visa Stamping would it be a problem. Live around Ca. planning to go for Tijuana, Mexico.
also
Company (y) says it won't generate pay stubb unless u get visa stamped. Do i really need pay stubb(s) with
company(Y) in order to go for stamping.or its okay to go with company (X) paystubs.
My paystubs are still with company (x) till month of May 2008.
how good are chances of getting visa if im going for stamping in month of July, 2008
pls advice... what should i do in the situation i'm in

Hi friends,
Since the h1b quota for year 2009 is not exhausted, can one(company) file the h1b visa right away or do we need to wait for April 2010?
One of my friends is interested in coming to the US. The consulting company to whom he applied said that they could only apply for the H1B visa in April 2010.
Could you please advise?
Appreciate

It's hard to answer your question without more details, such as your current status. Company B can definitely file a new H-1B for you. Your current status will dictate whether you "need" to tell them about the earlier filing. However, having a prior petition filed might not have any negative impact, so you probably don't need to be nervous about telling Co. B.

Hi to all,
I met with a potential client who is an illegal immigrant living in the US. She has a child who is a US citizen. The father was voluntarily deported and the mother gave him permission to take the child back to their home country to visit the grandparents. The father was supposed to make sure the child returned to the US within 3 months. It has been 6 months. If my client files an application under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, will the US Government begin deportation proceedings?

He is another worthless desi lawyer. Stay away from him! Only interested in taking your money. Poor service and once you have parted with your money good luck getting any timely response by phone or email. I have had very bad experience dealing with his office and don't be fooled by recommendations on his website saying he is very responsive etc.
