Sen. Patrick Leahy ( D-Vermont ) introduced the Uniting American Families Act ( S. 424 ) earlier this year; it has 18 co-sponsors. The bill would allow same sex couples the same immigration rights as married heterosexual couples. Passage of the bill is likely to be tied to overall immigration reform.
At the moment, same-sex partners of legal immigrants do not have the same rights to dependent status that heterosexual spouses get. This is true even if the couple is legally married in their home country. Often, the "dependent" partner must apply for a B-2 visitor visa at the consulate, to accompany his/her partner. This visa is discretionary, and consulates could refuse to issue it. In addition, B-2 status does not allow the dependent partner to work in the US. Many heterosexual dependent spouses have a status that doesn't allow them to work either, however.
As the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/03/us/politics/03immig.html) reports:
Senator Leahy�s bill would add the term �permanent partner� to sections of current immigration law that refer to married couples, and would provide a legal definition of those terms.
�I just think it�s a matter of fairness,� he said Tuesday in an interview, noting that a number of American allies, including Canada, France and Germany, recognize same-sex couples in immigration law. Photo by http://www.flickr.com/photos/boscobridalexpos/

No, you do not need to go out of US if the I-797 (H1-B approval) comes with an I-94 card.

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a limit on the # of travels for each AP approval. I received 2 AP documents valid until May 2010. I have already travelled twice. On my first return the immigration officer kept my AP document at POE (NY) but the 2nd time it was stamped & returned (Washington DC was POE) to me. I was wondering if I could use this document for subsequent re-entries or do I have to apply for a new AP.
Thanks,
Rajeev

You will say 'YES' for yourself and 'NO' for your dependents. Immigration petition is nothing but I-140, if any of your family members have filed I-140 then answer would be 'YES'

As far as I know, the 5 year wait period was until a couple years ago when the family based GC was backlogged. I got married in 2004 and had to wait until 2008 to file for GC, when my husband got his citizenship. At that time, our attorney advised this as the best course, since the priority dates were about 5 years out.
Filing for spouse falls under 2A of the family sponsored GC and currently the priority date for 2A India is 01 Jan 2010. In my estimation, you should get a GC within 12-18 mths.
But then again, I am not an attorney - so please consult one to validate this information.
Hope this helps.

169000 prosecutions, from estimate 12 million illegals. Lets see, around 0.01% !!! And please note the headline "IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT THROUGH THE ROOF"
Another biased article designed to garner support for illegal immigration while trying to lull others into thinking that there is a crack down against illegals!!!

Dear All:
I know there are numerous people who are on H4 visa here in the USA and struggling to get out of home and work. All tied up in 4 walls only coz H4 visa holders do not have the authorization to work.
Come on guys, when L2 dependant visa holders can get an EAD and permit to work then why cant H4 dependants get the same privilege ? Is this not a discrimination? Are we not being deprived of the rights that we should be getting? Are we doing justice to our careers? Aren�t 90% of H4 visa holders doctors, engineers, lawyers, MBA�s?? Are we not ruining our careers ? Are we not loosing our self esteem and independence ? are we not highly qualified and skilled to take up challenging jobs in the US ?
We all know what it is with the H1B visa. In such a scenario how can we even expect some professional life for ourselves. But are the law makers aware of this situation of ours ? Laws are amended only when they are put forward and witnessed as a problem and issue of concern. Does the US government know about this ? Does US know that it has immense store house of talent in the form of H4 visa holders ?
It has to change. H4�s should get some kinda reform else we will ruin our careers and life. If you are on the similar line then come forward and join us, in our change!!
Let your voice be heard!! Let H4�s get their independence.
Plz do the foll:
1) Visit the website � www.change.org
2) Type in �Improve the conditions of H4 dependant visa individuals in the US�
3) Register yourself and become a member � Its FREE !!!
4) Invite all your friends, relatives to join in
5) Post your thoughts, take actions, read the on going progress by members.
Together we can. So lets join hands and help ourselves.
Regards,
MAYA.

I will take this oppurtunity to thank everyone who showed the courage by joining us at Washington DC.
It was a great pleasure meeting all the people from the New England area. I finally got a chance to put a face to all the names with whom i have talked on conference calls. This was just an amazing experience and i am hoping we will get a chance to have more such experiences and we will keep on continuing our efforts till the time we get the system fixed.
Folks, the rally was a huge success. The situation room (15th, 16th, 17th) was an example of all the positive energy which was builing up for the rally.
The reception(17th) was a showcase of IV. The rally(18th) was the final bang.
But inspite of having so many people affected from the GREEN CARD delays from the New England area, we just had a few folks show up at the rally. This was really disappointing.
I am sure there must be a very good reason for that. But if you have any doubts, we will really like to talk to you and clarify your doubts.
As i always say.

Hi,
I was told by the staff at the center, where I did my FP, that one can do FP at any location in US. Just go to any nearest location at the same time and date as mentioned in the notice.
I did the same. My FP appointment was in Oakland but I went to San Jose office. I had gone to the San Jose office a day before to find out if I can go there for FP and that is when they told me this.
I suggest you ask your wife to go the local office a few days before her appointment and find out if she can go there for her FP appointment.

The last report was somewhere in September 2007. Good to see that they have cleared July 07 bump in processing the 485s. they have nearly taken 29 months to clear it up.

Unless the dependent is going to have his 140 filed under EB1 I am not sure it would help.
But to answer your question, I think it is ok to file. Check with your attorney before you do that though

With the recent implementation by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) allowing concurrent filing of Form I-360 Religious Worker Petition and Form I-485 Adjustment of Status Application, most applicants want to know what documents to submit with an adjustment of status (AOS) application.
Persons with a pending I-360 religious worker petition are now eligible to file an AOS application before September 9, 2009. The AOS application is used by persons who are in the United States to apply with USCIS to adjust to permanent resident status.
Along with the Adjustment of Status Application on Form I-485, one must remember to submit:
a copy of the I-360 receipt notice,
two passport style photos,
a copy of the applicant’s passport,
a copy of the applicant’s birth certificate (along with a certified English translation if the document is not in English), and
a medical examination report performed by a designated civil surgeon.
If an AOS applicant has ever been arrested then a court-certified copy of all arrest records and the final disposition of the case is required (excluding traffic tickets).
Individuals between the ages of 14-79 are also required to submit a Biographic Information Sheet on Form G-325A.
The most important thing to remember before sending the AOS application is the filing fee! Do NOT forget to submit a check or money order to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the amount of $1010. No additional fee is required for Form I-765 Employment Authorization Application and for Advance Parole on Form I-131 if filing with an AOS application.
Call us at 214-999-9999 and we will be happy to answer your questions.
