:)On a lighter note, the USCIS is going to start issuing Green cards that are actually Green. So now as the name suggests, the cards are going to be "Green".

My wife who is a derivative applicant for the GC is employed on EAD. She has been advised to go on a pregnancy short term disability leave by the doctor. We live in California and her company provides the short term disability through the California SDI.
Is it ok to claim this while having applied for GC. Is the SDI by any chance considered a public charge? Any help would be appreciated.

Regular readers of this blog know that I get upset easily when I hear about how anti-immigration policies negatively impact military families. Soldiers who put their lives on the line to preserve the American way of life deserve better. The Los Angeles Times writes about Frances Barrios, the wife of US Army Spc. Jack Barrios, a soldier just back from Iraq. The Guatemalan-born Frances is facing deportation because she entered the US illegally. She came when she was just six years old. Frances and Jack have a one year old daughter and a three year old son. Jack is suffering...

Sorry, that revelation just made my head explode. The "You Lie!" Congressman claims to have been an immigration lawyer before going to Congress. I'm working on whether that is true or has the same truthiness as the illegal aliens in the health care bill myth.

I received the excellent news today that the Memphis Youth Symphony Program has landed Bulgarian-born Stilian Kirov as it's new Music Director and Conductor. And since one of my children performs with the MSYP, the news is even better. Kirov is a graduate of the Julliard School of Music and has conducted major orchestras across Europe and the United States. Stilian is also an accomplished pianist. In 2001, he was awarded a gold medal in Paris' Claude Kahn International Piano Competition. We look forward to Maestro Kirov coming down Memphis way.

Reform, the FDR way (http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-shlaes23jul23,1,2603353.story) Democrats are right to revere Roosevelt, but even he knew when to reform his own reforms. By Amity Shlaes, AMITY SHLAES is the author of "The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression," a syndicated columnist for Bloomberg News and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. July 23, 2007
WHERE'S the fun? That's the feeling you get watching the Democrats in Washington this summer. Gone is the happy plan for a frenzy of lawmaking, the "Hundred Hours" of action Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised when the Democrats took the House. The speaker's artful allusion to Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Hundred Days" quickly became an ironic echo. During that first euphoric legislative period, Roosevelt managed to rescue the banking system from disaster, assist bankrupted farmers, rewrite the economics of agriculture and the rules for flailing businesses, bring back beer � you name it. Contemporary leaders can't even act on pressing issues such as agriculture and immigration, not to mention Social Security.
Why can't politicians be Roosevelts today? For an answer, let's look to the middle of 1935, about two years into FDR's New Deal and the equivalent of about now in the election cycle. The federal government was still smaller than the nation's state and local governments combined. Two out of 10 men were unemployed. FDR took the economic emergency as a powerful mandate for further lawmaking. He jumped into the project with all the glee of a boy leaping into a sandbox. The papers reported that he was going to "blast out of committee" yet another round of bills, and blast he did � that year the country's premier labor law, the Wagner Act, was passed, as was Social Security.
At about the same time, Roosevelt slapped together the Rural Electrification Administration, which came on top of the New Deal's large farm subsidies. For construction workers, artists and writers, he created � also in mid-1935 � the Works Progress Administration, which hired the unemployed, including artists, craftsmen and journalists. To appreciate the size of that gift, imagine a contemporary politician responding to a market crash by putting ex-employees of Google on the federal payroll. The president also built on to an already large structure, the Public Works Administration, which funded town halls, grammar schools and swimming pools in 3,000 counties. The money? Roosevelt passed a tax increase that opponents called the "soak the rich" act. It contained an estate tax rate hike that would make John Edwards drool. By 1936, the government took up more than 9% of gross domestic product. For the first peacetime year in U.S. history, Washington had edged past the state and local governments in size to become a larger part of the national economy. (Just a few years earlier, state and local governments had been twice as large as Washington.) FDR had reversed the old crucial ratio of federalism, and Washington has dominated the country ever since.
Those early commitments set a trend of promises. Some of them became what we now call entitlements. Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s layered on governmental commitments with the Great Society. President Bush has heaped on more, with a new entitlement: prescription drugs for seniors. Only a narrow part of the federal budget remains for discretionary spending � the part left over for new ideas. And setting aside the question of whether an individual program is good, bad or simply in need of an overhaul, we've found as a country that old commitments are simply too hard to undo.
This is partly because of the way the political game works. When you seek to take away a benefit from one targeted recipient, he will fight like crazy to keep it � think of the ferocious battles the farm lobby wages over even tiny reductions in agricultural subsidies. Those who gain from reducing the size of the handout, however, are members of the lobbyless general public who will receive only an incremental advantage, maybe the equivalent of a penny or two apiece. So the rest of us don't have the incentive or ability to apply countervailing pressure. Yet that's exactly what we need today: the energy and exhilaration of FDR in his first term.
Today's timidity would have disturbed FDR, who had no trouble knocking down the sandcastles he had made. Early in the 1930s, he created 4 million jobs with the Civilian Works Administration, then uncreated them when he decided the CWA was too close to the English dole. When he tired of Harold Ickes' Public Works Administration, he scaled it back, and finally abolished it in 1941. As for Ickes' Department of the Interior, FDR decided that it was time to revise it into "a real Conservation Department" � a change many would welcome today.
A few leaders since FDR have persuaded Congress to help them bring about changes on this scale � Ronald Reagan's bipartisan tax reform of 1986 and Bill Clinton's welfare reform a decade later come to mind. These presidents were truer to FDR's spirit than the hesitating Congress of today. Clearing some blank space for new institutions is possible. But lawmakers won't do it if they honor Rooseveltian edifices more than Roosevelt did himself.

in order to get the animation to 'stick' you have to toggle that button that says "animate" on the top of the screen. The reason they do it that way is this. If you've already set up an animation, but then find that you need to change something in the basic structure of the item, you can turn off that toggle, edit the item and have it not effect the animation that you set up.

Hi All,
My employer has filed for ETA 9089 and it is approved. I am paying for the green card processing. Before applying for I-140 he asked me to sign a memorandum which states that I am bearing the complete expenses of the process (filing fees of I-140 , I-485 and $500 extra) . It also states that I need to be with the company for 6 months from the time green card is approved. In case I leave the company prior to 6 months for whatsoever reason, I need to pay $15000 as damaging charges to company.
He says that signing this memorandum is mandatory otherwise he will not file I-140.
My questions is , Is it legal to bind an employee to these conditions and ask processing fee to file Green card ? Also are these documents valid from legal perspective ?
Please let me know your thoughts on this. Appreciate it.
Thanks,
Raj

I have a situation here.
I am on H1B visa and just changed my job in September.
My H1B transfer (thru my new company) was approved and according to USCIS website, they have dispatched my 797-Notice of Action. But I am yet to receive those papers.
Now, I was on extension of H1B earlier (thru my old company), as my stamped visa expired.
Now, my spouse needs to visit India urgently. Can she travel to India with her old I-94 (the one that was stapled on the passport when she entered US the last time) and the other I-94 that she has with the visa extension papers ?? Of course, once we get the new Form 797, I shall also travel to India and we both will get our visa stamping done before we travel back to USA. Please suggest...

I have a question for the gurus. I have my GC application in process- priority date March 2006, EB2 I. When the application started my wife was on H4.
Now my wife is on H1B, and her employer has asked if she would like to have her GC processing done. Question is that can she get her application started and can I be the beneficiary on her application. The rationale behind this thought process is that considering the economic conditions, is this a safety net that one can use?
Prompt responses are appreciated
Thanks

I am in an interesting situation, my 485 is pending (PD June 22, 2006) and wondering if I should accept a position offered by my original GC employer, special when my PD is so close ( May take another 6-8 month).
I was part of company lets say X, a join venture between A&B. X applied for my GC 140 and 485 when I was with them. Then that company was split and 10% employee went to A and other 90% to B. I was part of 10% that went to A and did AC21 to port my case. It was considered as new company. Now my Old manager who moved to company B is offering a Job with significant promotion. Since X was technical acquired by B and X was my original employer, is it a win win situation to move or I stay put and wait for PD to become current before moving? job profile is goign to be same.

Anandhi,
I would apply for the renewal EAD now. Are you using the EAD to work ? Normally if the EAD is not approved after 90 day wait, then one can get a temp EAD form the local office. Give yourself some time, just in case something gets dealyed.
