San Diego Restaurant, The French Gourmet Inc., indicted recently for knowingly making false attestations on I-9 Forms, hiring employees unauthorized to work in the U.S., and employing those aliens after learning of their ineligibility to work. U.S. v. The French Gourmet Inc. is the case, and you can read it here:
French gourmet compalint (http://www.slideshare.net/usvisalaw/french-gourmet-compalint)View more documents (http://www.slideshare.net/) from usvisalaw (http://www.slideshare.net/usvisalaw).
In May 2008, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents executed a criminal search warrant at, The French Gourmet, and have taken workers suspected of being illegally in the country into custody. ICE has arrived at worksites with both criminal and civil warrants. It has searched businesses, frozen bank accounts, and arrested not only employees but also employers. This recent indicment sends a clear message to employers.
We keep reminding employers to ensure compliance with the I-9 requirements under IRCA, a company should establish an I-9 policy that includes:
* The proper and timely completion and retention of Form I-9 for all employees hired after November 6, 1986;
* Zero-tolerance for the employment of individuals who do not provide the proper identity and employment eligibility documents for Form I-9;
* A tickler system for I-9s that require reverification;
* I-9 training for all company representatives who are part of the recruitment, orientation, and hiring processes for the company; and
* Regularly scheduled in-house I-9 audits.
Conducting self-audits puts a company in better position if it becomes the subject of an ICE investigation. While employers cannot verify whether documents used for employment authorization are authentic, self-audits establish good-faith compliance.

Hi,
Congratulations on getting the F1 approved !
I am also planning to convert my wife's status from H4 to F1. I would really appreciate if you could answer some of my doubts since I am also planning to apply F1 for my wife:
- What are the precautions needed to be taken so as to avoid rejection ?
- Can you send me the sample Cover letter you used for your application. I heard that its really important in decision of the application.
- Also is it better to show the financial amount in Banks + Stocks ( would this potray as potential immigrant since money is inside USA ?). Or should I also show some property back in India so that it shows the ties back in india ?
- I will be the sponsor for my wife and since I am on H1-B , will that have a negative (-ve) impact since H1-B is for DUAL intent visa category for immigration & temp work ?
- How to show property valules in India ? An Affidavit or Original documents or how to combine all together ? does everything need to be certified by SAME lawyer or an authorized Attested official (because if yes, will an Indian Attested document suffice ?)
Thanks once again for your help , I really appreciate it... have a good day...
regards,
Sunil

I think Canada is much better option . It's cheaper and convenient. I have heard many success stories of H1 stamping in Canada
I've an appointment in October at Munich, Germany consulate for H1B stamping. Because of time constraints I decided to get the stamping done when I'm out there for work. I've already obtained the german visa (though had to provide plenty of explanation !). This is my 9th yr extn (MS, EB2 - 140 approved)
- Can anyone share their experience at the Munich consulate?
- or, should I plan going to Canada and trying rather taking the risk in Germany?
thanks,

I need to take an apppointment for myself and my wife in May. Unfortunatly few days back I found a mistake in my wife's password and it will take 21 days to get it corrected. I doubt if she can get the passport on time to schedule an appointment for May 2nd week. However I am sure to get wife's new passport by May 2nd week. So I was thinking of taking an appointment using her old PP number and editing the info later.
Will I be able to edit the PP number later online...?? Or not. greatly apprecite if you could provide some info on this...
Thanks in advance...

Hi. I have been on H1b with Company A since May, 2008. My visa and I797 are valid till Sept 24, 2009. There is no bench/pay roll break in my employment. I want to transfer my H1b to Company B. Should I use premium processing or regular processing? I have heard that many premium processing cases get a RFE. Is it true? This is particularly important given the bad economic landscape and news/rumors of large number of H1b transfer/extension refusals.

Just trying to understand what would that statement indicate for next/future visa bulletins. It can be deciphered in different dimensions ie:
- all visas have been allocated and all upto priority date have been allocated (second one may not be true) .. this leads to no retrogression (or) no movement in next bulltin
- all visas allocated and not all people allocated .. which may lead to retrogression in next bulletin
There are many other combination of interpretations as well.

GREEEEEAAAT NEWS. THESE ABUSERS NEEED TO BE BROUGHT INTO LIGHT. However, I feel they should increase the cap based on marked requirement. If one qualified person is recruited properly (following required advt), has the proper qualifications, and is proposed to be paid adequately----MY friends in senate and wherever--WHY SHOULD THERE BE A CAP RESTRICTING SUCH A WORKER???? Take away the cap completely and scruitinize the applications / employers more stringently. This stupid cap gives the USCIS / govt a false sence of security that everybody coming through is qualified and good. Once the cap goes, each application would be scruitinized better.

Here is an excerpt from the link below.. it sounds crazy
"Visa numbers can retrogress in the middle of a month and become unavailable without prior notice. If there is a mid-month retrogression, USCIS could elect to stop accepting adjustment applications. While this is unlikely to occur in July 2007, it becomes more and more possible as the fiscal year progresses. "
I hope this doesnt happen.

double sided with Flip to Top option.
Did anyone else do the same?
Quite a few lawyers request this.

I would suggest you ask your employer B to file thru premium processing. Just to be on the safe side
cancellation takes atleast a month if not more. (4-5 months is not a confirmed number so its better to assume the worse case of 1 month)
cheers

Hi All,
For the 140 appln we see that all service centers except TSC takes more than 6 months. TSC has a processing time frame of 6 months for 140
where as NSC and CSC says they are processing 140 of Sep/jan 2006.
We pay same fee for USCIS at all offices. This is a descrimination based on
USCIS location. If 140 is approved and 485 is pending we have flexibility of changing the jobs.
(ie if you had applied at NSC, then u will not get this flexibility)
Most of the guys who applied at TSC during July 07 got the approval of 140 where as NSC and CSC are still processing 2006.
(Mine was filed at TSC and on the 5th month got transferred to NSC.
Now should it follow 6months of TSC processing time or go to the storage cabin and wait till the processing date at NSC comes to current?)
So should we complain to ombudsman, to make the processing time similar at all the offices. If there is a difference of one months is OK but not more than one month.
I would like to hear everyones opinion especially those who stuck at NSC and CSC.
Thank You
Abhishika
