U.S. Department of Labor has implemented a new integrated online system � known as the iCert Portal � through which employers can submit applications for permanent labor certification, labor condition applications (LCAs) and other applications for immigration-related DOL programs. In addition, the agency will introduce new editions of Form ETA-9089, the PERM labor certification application, and have already introduced Form ETA-9035, the labor condition application. iCert has already replaced the method of LCA filing for H-1B. The new iCert system begins to accept LCAs as of July 1, 2009. Employer and attorneys as the case may be, can still use the old LCA account but cannot submit new LCA. New LCA has to be filed from iCert.
Following are the new changes which has taken place:
- The new LCA requires writing the SOC (ONET/OES) code and the occupation title for the job.
- The new LCA has a section for basis for the visa classification supported by the application. There are the following categories:
a. New employment;
b. Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer;
c. Change in previously approved employment;
d. New concurrent employment;
e. Change of employer;
f. Amended petition.
- One has to indicate the total number of H-1B/H-1B1 (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) non-immigrant workers.
- The new LCA also requires, in the employer information section, to indicate the Trade name/doing business as (DBA), if applicable, the old LCA does not have this requirement.
- In the new LCA, one is required to write NAICS code.
- There is a new section in the new LCA - Employer point of contact information, which requires to indicate the following: full contact�s name; contact�s job; contact�s address; contact�s telephone number; contact�s e-mail address.

Hi All,
My online status for I-140 petition comes up with this weird status.
Your Current Case Status for Form I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.
On Feburary 7th, 2011 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.
Any idea what this could be?
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks in advance!!
JV

Once your wife's starts using EAD, her H status is invalid (H1 or H4).
EAD to H4: Fastest way to get back to H4 would be travel outside USA, stamp, and reenter using H4. You should be maintaining the H1 status all the time.
EAD to H1: In my opinion, she can get back to H1 as long as her H1 is not expired. COS to H1 or extension can not be done past expiry date.
Hope this helps!

I am not sure if this works or not, but try to create a yahoo group id and add these email addresses as the members of the group.
Then you can just shoot your e-mail to this group address.
hmm..nice try, but I would not like to send the email 60-70 times..
have to do that tonight, if there is no other option.
any other ideas for hacking yahoo?

one lawyer whom I spoke with says it is still ok...basically they need senior applicants in their field who has done some supervisory work and can do managirial work..I don't know how much it is true.
Yes its true. Since 2008 Canada has been tightening the skilled immigration rules and has now restricted to mainly educated or worked in Canada or few occupations only.
Recently even Alberta has tightened the provincial program as well.

Guys as the administrator (pappu) pointed out... we really need to be short and sweet and to the point... mixing issues will only create confusion and we will all look unorganized...
***admin's I used your template but tried to add some more personal touch to express what we all are dealing with, hope it's ok:
When you call stick to something as simple as:
My name is ____ and I am calling from [city], in the state of [State]. I am a member of a group called Immigration Voice – that represents LEGAL skilled immigrants.
I've been patiently waiting for ___ Years for my green card now, I came here legally and have always followed all laws of this land... I'm really disappointed and disheartened by what I see and read about the immigration reform bill.
All I ask is... (discuss all 3 issues or even 1 that you think will keep it simple and get your point across)
1) INCREASE the number of EMPLOYMENT-BASED green cards for LEGAL skilled immigrants who are currently backlogged. We request the Senate to ELIMINATE the backlogs BEFORE starting a new merits based system.
2) Urge the Senator to AMEND section 501(b) and INCREASE the number of EMPLOYMENT-BASED green cards for LEGAL skilled immigrants from 140,000 to a higher number to ELIMINATE the current backlogs, the SAME way the bill REDUCES backlogs for family-based immigrants in section 501(a).
3) Oppose the senate’s immigration bill in its current form because it reduces the number of green cards for legal skilled immigrants. It diverts these green cards to the proposed future guest worker program and to a proposed untested merits based system.

Hi All,
Need some comments on my situation. My lawyer filed for my I-140, I-485, AP, and EAD on November 20th on EB2 Row Category. I just emails yesterday stating that my EAD card is sent to production, but they have asked for initial evidence on 485. Is it possible to review 485 without looking at the 140? I am not sure what that query is, but really hoping that it is not something serious. I've already waited for 16 months for my Labor to get approved. Please share your experiences, suggestions etc. regarding this.

Hello Guys
These forum is great
I have a question. I have a student visa now from last 4 years and before these student visa I started a small business in India. i didnt expected it to grow much but now it has grown. I have used money from that business for my 2nd MS which is not completed yet
Here is the problem
I am getting married in May. Till May I can stay here legally but than once I leave and get married I want to come with my Wife. So I have 3 options
She apply alone for visitor visa ( chances are less for these)
She come as dependent ( I dont have any income here or any source of income from college)
I leave my student visa and we both apply for visitor visa. These option has a lot of risk but its the best I am thinking as I am not interested in going to college anymore
What you think which route I should take?

169000 out of estimated 12 million is actually more than 100 times what you show it as 0.01%. It is close to 1.4%.
He got his quotient right but forgot to multiply it by 100 to convert that into a percentage!

But this time there are 90+ dems and Reps co-sponsored this bill..so chance of this getting passed is enormous and I was hoping since this is the child of those claiming to be the champions of the legal immigration ..could probably insert something to bring relief to the legal community..
Not sure though .. could not place hand on the text of this bill..
:(

Hello I recently purchased a Nikon D70 to use for concert photography. I was using a Sony Mavica CD-250 but it wasn't cutting it for the larger shows where no flash could be used. I just did my first show where flash could not be used and the pictures came out so-so. I have 2 lenses a Nikkor AF 28-80mm and a Nikkor AF 70-300mm. I have full access to photo pits in front of the stage and am wondering what the best settings are for the D70 in these conditions to ensure at least some of the photos will come out decent.
All the photos I have taken can be found here:

any help would be greatly appreciated.
