This was long overdue but here are the latest on the Tri Valley story. A federal grand jury here has indicted the president of a Pleasanton, Calif., university on 33-criminal counts, charging her with an array of violations, including visa fraud, money laundering and alien harboring, as a result of a two-year investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Tri-Valley University President Susan Xiao-Ping Su, 41, who also served as the school's chief executive officer, is accused of engaging in a two-year scheme to defraud the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by submitting phony documents in support of Tri-Valley University's applications to admit foreign nationals on student visas. The indictment further alleges that after obtaining such approvals, Su fraudulently issued visa-related documents to student aliens in exchange for "tuition and fees."
Su was taken into custody Monday morning at her Pleasanton, Calif., home by HSI special agents. She made her initial appearance here in federal court shortly after her arrest.
In carrying out the scheme, Su is accused of making multiple false representations to DHS through Tri-Valley University's use of the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), which the U.S. government uses to monitor the "F-1" student visa program. Through her false representations, Su was able to unlawfully obtain and issue F-1 visa-related documents without regard to the students' academic qualifications or intent to pursue a course of study required to maintain a lawful immigration status.
According to the indictment, Su admitted and maintained foreign students in exchange for tuition and other payments. In furtherance of the F-1 visa scheme, Su also allegedly harbored multiple Tri-Valley University student-employees to assist her in making the false representations to SEVIS. The indictment further alleges the defendant engaged in multiple money laundering transactions totaling more than $3.2 million using proceeds she derived from the visa fraud scheme.

Hi,
I was a Donor few of months ago. Since last month, I am not able to see Donor forum or see my membership as "Donor". Wondering if there are any changes made to qualify one as "Donor"?
Thanks

H1B LUDs may be due to PIMS data collection, I heard most of the H1Bs approved after Jan 2004 had LUDs and the status did not change; and 140 could be a regular system touch.

That memo became an subject of sunday morning talk shows on Fox, CNN etc and now even USCIS has rescinded from it.
I have filed my I-485 before my marriage and I need to be on H1-B VISA to maintain my spouse's H4 Status.
Couple of weeks back there was a leaked USCIS memo mentioning "The agency could also consider extending employment authorization to the dependent spouses of certain skilled workers. For example, USCIS sould allow employment authorization for H-4 dependent spouses of H-1B principals where the principals are also applied for lawful permanent residence and have extended their non-immigrant status under the provisions of AC21"
Memo USCIS (http://www2.nationalreview.com/memo_UCIS_072910.html)
Please let me know if there are any updates.

1. The title noted on the labor form was "Associate". On the job description letter, is it ok if the title is noted as "Financial Associate Analyst". Plus my labor was approved as IS Manager. Would the "financial" title cause a problem?
2. My lawyer put a very generic sentence as my job description. Does my job experience letter have to have the exact same generic sentence in it? and is it ok if the letter has more duties on it other than the one mentioned on the labor form (i did different stuff at that job, finance, IT, sales etc)
3. My lawyer put the required degree on the labor form as "Computer Science". However; I have a MIS degree. Is that going to be a problem when applying for i140?

Hi California members,
There is an IV action item to fight recent practice of USCIS in denying I485 applications in some AC21 cases. For more info, please visit:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22182
It’s a serious issue which can affect many of us, please act now and send letters (letter formats and everything else is ready in the thread quoted above). It will only take a few minutes of your time.
State chapter leader,
Please try to bring attention of your state members to this IV core approved effort.
Thank you.

you are ok. You only needed to get married anytime before your I-485 is approved.
BTW that is a funny title for the thread "single and then married". Most of us are indeed single before we get married :)

Guys:
I wanted to know that if somebody has currently an approved LC and I-140(EB-3) with Company A and decided to change jobs to Company B, who would now file under EB-2.
a) Can he hold on to his EB3 priority date..though the new petition would be filed under EB-2 ?
Yes, I know a lot of ppl have asked this question in the wake of the retrogession that we are all sufferning through ?
b) If this Company B were to file for H1-B , as I understand it would count towards the 2007-2008 quota which opens on April 1st '07...does this scenario also force you to not start working till Oct'07 (which is when ppl who file in the 2007-08 quota are supposed to start working).
What I am trying to understand is that in this scenario can you change jobs and start to work for Company B without having to wait till Oct'07 ?
Thanks

From what I read in the article they are talking about chaging 'the place of incorporation' from Bermuda to Ireland to avoid paying higher taxes through the proposed tax legislation ...dosent't talk about relocating all operations to Ireland
I never said they are moving all the operations. Looks like, they would still be serving the clients in the US. But they will be not a US company anymore.They would not be head off iced in the US.
They would still be able to outsource there work to India, for which the US companies would have to shell out more taxes, if a particular legislation is passed.

I have finished my 1st MS and was doing my 2nd MS
In fall semester I applied for all online courses and when it was the time of exam I had to leave to India as my Grandfather was very sick.
I was in lot of pressure as I was very close to them so I left. Before leaving I did asked the admission officer in university and she told that I will get all F grades and I can take same courses again in Next semester.
I was ready to do that. So I left USA and came back in January. 2 days before I received a letter from university that I have been dropped off. I was shocked and tried contacting the admission officer. She told me that they can reinstate now for my F1 visa and thats the only way.
I want to know if these is the only way or if there is some other way to get back in status. I dont want to leave country and come back to get reinstatated as I think its too risky.
What are the chances of reinstatement if I have clean history as well as no work records from the time I entered in USA. I have been student from last 4 years from the time I entered USA.
I do want to apply for visitor visa in future. HOw will these situation affect that

Hello
I am a physician who is doing his residency on H1b. My wife has applied for green card with a priority date 4/2004 (employment based category 3). I have applied for my green card with her. Now we are in I 485 stage.
NOw that the way dates are progressing it seems it will take a while for her date to become current for EB3. I was wondering if I apply for green card when I finish my residency, can I recapture the priority date?
I'd appreciate your help. Thank you
can I recapture the priority date?
NO
PD are attached to either a Labor Certification or a I-140. It has to be your own LC or 140 in order to transfer the PD.

Folks,
How long does it takes to get an Advanced Parole documents after filing I485?
Will it be safe to file I485 and AP/EAD if I am planning to go to India in next 4 or 5 months?
Thanks

Hello,
I am stuck in India (along with my husband who) after leaving USA where I am living for over 5 years. I just came for 2 wks here in India to get stamping done at the Chennai Consulate. They kept my passport and said they will give visa, in next 3-4wks..Its past a month and 3 wks.. I am force to live with relatives. I can't even go to my home country without my passport. Everything I own is back in USA. How do I get back to it? I am on H4 and my husband is H1B. I am holding another country's nationality. I can't even visit my home country without my passport. Why did the Consulate kept the passports for this long? :confused:Why are we being treated this way?? Why didn't they do a security check where I was living for over 5 years? I am so frustrated being stuck and worry about my home left unattended back in the US.
:mad:
Any advise? Can I contact someone to help expedite this process?

Sorry, you can't use AC21 to get that promotion. AC21 portability requires similar jobs.

Will my I485, which was filed in July 2007, be automatically re-activated if my EB2 AAO appeal is approved?
I won't be filing my new I140 until probably sometime next year as I am just working on my PERM advertisements now. I am assuming that there is no time limit to using a priority date from an earlier I140.
