[Subject] Immigration News Letter of Law Offices of Sun Associated with Shaub & Williams Headlines:
Important news from CIS: FBI Name Check New Rule Published
Newly Published NSC I485 Transfer Policy.
Good news about the employment based immigrant visa petitions.
Visa backlog in March 2008: EB2 priority date for the Mainland China born
progresses one year.
A good strategy to apply your working visa and your green card: O1 to EB1B:
O1 is approved in 5 days.
News of the law firm: Our website newly added a Special Topic Immigration
Articles in Chinese Language.
http://www.sunlawfirm.com/specialTopicChineseArticles.htm. We also newly hired
a young lawyer who speaks Korean. We hope to publish important immigration articles
in Korean language soon. Dear friend;
You are welcome to pass our newsletter to all your friends. In this newsletter,
we report the following important news. [To find more of our highly informative
newsletters,
click here.] 1. CIS will process I-485 applications before FBI Name Check result
if it has been pending for more than 180 days.
CIS published a memorandum on February 4, 2008 to establish a new policy that,
if an immigrant's application for a residence visa (I-485, et al) has been in the
system for more than 180 days and the only missing piece is a name check by the F.B.I.,
immigration officers will now be allowed to approve the application. The memorandum
states that "in the unlikely event" that the F.B.I. name check turns up negative
information about an immigrant after a residence visa has been granted, the authorities
can cancel the visa and begin deportation proceedings.
2. AILA published NSC I485 transfer policy, which is summarized as the follows.
As previously stated, a transfer of an I-485 is generally allowable, provided that visas
are available, both underlying petitions are approved and there are no adverse factors
in terms of merit, fraud, or other circumstances which might lead to a revocation.
The hypothetical posed in the question of a transfer of an employment-based I-485 from
an I-140, to a family-based I-130 petition, and then back again would generally not be allowed.
According to this policy, if an applicant who is subject to EB2 visa backlog filed both
EB1A and EB2NIW, and the I-485 application is also concurrently filed with EB1A, this
applicant may NOT be able to transfer his I485 to his EB2NIW if his EB1A is denied even
his EB2NIW is approved because, first, the EB1A is not approved, and second, the visa number
is NOT available to his EB2NIW.
3. Good news about employment based immigrant visa petitions
a. Citations do help! An EB2NIW filed in late July 2008 was approved without RFE. The
applicant is a Korean national and concurrently filed the I485 application, which is
approved concurrently with the I140. This applicant provided all 298 citations and 95
review citations. The case was approved without RFE.
b. Media reports about the research group are supportive! We helped a postdoc researcher
in computer science prepared and filed an Eb2NIW in early July 2007. The applicant had 21
journal and conference papers. In this petition, we emphasized on the media reports about
the research group with which our client has been working, including the news reports
published by published by The New York Times, Daily Trojan, Wired News, etc.. The case was
approved without RFE.
4. A good strategy to apply your working visa and your green card: O1 to EB1B: O1 is approved in 5 days.
We helped a postdoc get an O1 visa to work for a high-tech company in 5 business days.
A high-tech company wants to hire a postdoc in a university to start working immediately.
We helped the company make a strategic plan to apply an O1 first then to apply for an EB1B. O1
is an employment visa that does not have to wait until April 1st to file and October 1st to
start working. Based our prior experience, we well-documented the petitioner's qualifications,
the beneficiary's (the postdoc) accomplishments and his future research plan. At the time of filing,
the beneficiary had 22 journal papers, 9 conference presentations, 1 pending patent.
Because O1 is for alien of extraordinary ability and CIS approved the case, we expect to
file his EB1B shortly based on the approved O1.
5. Visa backlog on EB2 for the Chinese Mainland born progressed almost a year. The priority
date for March 2008 is December 1, 2003. EB2 visa number for the Indian nationals is still
unavailable next month.
