I am writing this Blog entry from my conference of the American Immigration Lawyers Association in Washington DC. In this past few days Immigration lawyers from across the nation gathered here in DC to share ideas and discuss our Immigration laws and policy. On Thursday not so far from our conference, the President (maybe he planned it), discussed Immigration reform for the first time in months.
President Obama stepped back into the political minefield of immigration policy Thursday, arguing for big changes in what he called a "broken" immigration system. But he warned that no such changes are possible without some Republican support.
From months now, Latino activists have been pushing the president to make good on his promise to overhaul the nation's immigration system. Thursday, in a speech at American University here in DC, Mr. Obama took up the challenge.
The speech followed meetings earlier in the week with immigration activists and Latino lawmakers.
To those concerned with security along the southern border with Mexico, Mr. Obama said, he's already put more boots on the ground than ever before. But, he argued, border enforcement by itself will not stop the flow of illegal immigrants.
Immigration is back in the spotlight now thanks to a new Arizona law requiring police to question anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally. Mr. Obama says he understands the frustration that led to that law, but he thinks Arizona went too far. His speech helped to lay the groundwork for an expected legal challenge by the Justice Department.
These are exciting times for all of us at the Immigration Bar, and being here in Washington makes you feel like part of the debate. I promise to keep you updated as we hear from USCIS officials and other government representatives on upcoming changes and other issues.

Note - This has been posted in the regular forum also. Re-posting it here to get an attorney perspective.
I just wanted to throw this out there, since I did not get any definite answer from any forums.
When in need for I-485 issues, who is better to contact - Congressman or Senator.
I just want to know the pros and cons of each and maybe this analysis will help others down the line.
Points to note are:
1. There are more congressman in a particular state than senators. There are only 2 senators in a state.
2. Senators are more powerful than congressman (not sure that this power applies for talking to USCIS or not)
3. Senators and congressman have different terms in office. Hence is it better to contact someone who is going to stay longer, or someone who is up for election soon and hence may help.
4. For a particular USCIS case, can we contact both congressman and senator at the same time. Is this good.
Can members throw some light on this based on their prior experience and based on their knowledge.
Thanks in advance.

Hello everybody,
First of all I must appologize because I mentioned this in the forum before but that was a different question that I asked.
My wife's Labor lists a 4 year degree with a BS in Mechanical Engineering as a requirement.
We filed I-140 with her old H1B evaluation which says she has a 4 year degree in Civil Engineering (stupid me :mad: ).
I found another evaluator who looked closely and gave us an evaluation for BS in Mechanical Engineering because her degree is way closer to the Mechanical than it is to the Civil Eng.
Will USCIS reject this I-140 on the spot based on the fact that she doesn't meet the requirements or issue an RFE ? If they issue an RFE and we send the Mechanical Eng. evaluation, will the fact that we filed first with the Civil Eng evaluation cause any problems ? Are we assuming the worst and is not such a big deal ??
She worked on H1B for 7 years as a Mech Eng and this is NOT a labour substitution.
Thanks for any help !

Please share the information with everybody. I am also in same situation.
Thanks
MC
Moved from GC sponsoring company A to a different employer B using H1B transfer (expenses paid by me).
Now I see that the market is so bad and there are no contracting calls. The only calls that I get is for full time. And I do not know if they would give me a offer letter that is specified in my labor (which is different than what I work).
I am trying to asses the risk of using EAD compared to staying on h1(after spending so much money for transferring).
Please provide your thoughts of using EAD.
Thanks

Thomas Friedman has a great op-ed piece in today's NY TImes that emphasizes that the US is going to have to innovate like crazy if we're going to emerge from this recession on top. And a liberal skilled immigration policy has got to be part of our strategy. Here are some of the key quotes: I still believe that America, with its unrivaled freedoms, venture capital industry, research universities and openness to new immigrants has the best assets to be taking advantage of this moment � to out-innovate our competition. But we should be pressing these advantages to the max...
