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.

Rest all states should pass similiar law............
Is it for the strategy of getting all our members to take this law seriously when they are stopped by the cops and asked for papers? Unless something personally affects our members we are content in letting things happen around us........so if such laws were passed in many other states, it would definitely jolt us to action!!!!!!
Good thinking Nagamani!

Never seen any one asked for EVL for derivative at POE. Especially on AP. So you should be fine on that front. But You need to realize that you need to find a same / similar employment ASAP.

here is the link to my case:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20055
--------Additional Information related to my case ----------
==========POINTED TO BE NOTED=================
1. Why extension was denied, what was in RFE?
venu_mk: RFE was due to
a. lack of documents,
b. they needed company no.of employers update info which uscis did not have on there record.
c. client letter
d. clearly defined path between employer and client relationship( had 2 vendors between them) I had to show contracts and workorders between each of them.
2. Did you get the approval for Company X after your apeal
venu_mk: appeal on denial case is still in process. what i heard after talking to different lawyers is it will take atleast 6 to 9 months of time. im still waiting on that.
3. Why are you still working with Company X,and when do you plan to join Co. Y
venu_mk: because i cannot work with company Y unless i get visa stamped.i talked to owner of company Y he said he wont generate pay stubbs unless i get stamped. One thing is i have applied I-797 from Company Y through CONSULAR PROCESSING. my lawyer says the same thing u cannot work on Company Y unless u get stamping done.
4. Are you going to get visa stamped with Co. X or Co. Y
venu_mk: Obviously with Company Y.
==========ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT MY CASE=============
On I-797 from Y it doesn't have I-94 number on it anywhere. since its through consular processing.
In order to work with Y, i have to get stamped first then only pay stubbs are generated
The result of the appeal is still pending....
one thing for sure that i have decided is that , I will only go for stamping AFTER my PIMS Verification is done in TIjuana, Mexico.
I'm pretty confused...

hello,
My question is about getting the visa after 6 years. I know that you can apply for 1 year extentions each year until your case is closed. We have applied and were approved. Our attorney said we had 2 choices to get the VISA issued.Either we go to our country and get it or we can go to Bahamas for a day and get it. Apperently, Bahamas and US has an agreement and they do it very quick.
What happens if we do not get the VISA stamp on our passports? I mean we are working and do not want to leave the country,dowe still have to get the actual VISA? Do we have a problem next year when we apply for extention if we do not get the visa stampped this year?

Don't talk like a lousy school master. You really had not to write what you wrote.
Now coming to your question, I think many people are curious to know if ac21/rfe etc are any hold up & also if the approvals follow systematic movement pd/rd/nd OR it is all at the whim and fancy of IOs

As stated above, interim EAD is not anymore issued at local center. What you can do after 90 days has lapsed, schedule an infopass appointment and then ask to expedite your EAD. In most cases, it doesn't exceed 90 days. A few unlucky one's had it in about 110 days!

I would appreciate if someone could answer the following question. Before I ask my question, below is a brief background:
- H-1b Date Started: October 2005
- Current H-1b expiration: August 2010 (when I switched my last job in August 2007, they extended for 3 years)
- Date of filing labor: January 10, 2010
- Time outside US on H-1b: about 90 days.
My attorney at work said that I would still need approximately another two months (comfortably) of time outside of the US that they can recapture. This extension would take me into late January 2011, more than one year past the point of the PERM filing. They can, at that point, apply for a 'seventh year' H-1B extension based on my PERM process having been pending for more than one year.
Here is my question. Since I am currently in my fifth year of my h-1b, would it be possible now to apply for the sixth year of h-1b visa until October 2011 instead of looking at seventh year? I started my h-1b in October 2005. Therefore, I have until six years before my h-1b visa can expire, is that correct? If this is not correct, I would appreciate if anyone has any other suggestions to avoid travelling for 2 months out of US prior to July 2010.
Thank you.

I have a question regarding employment and I-485 approval. For travel, one can take the I-797 approval notice and get their passport stamped if the physical green card has not arrived yet.
How about employment? Can the approved I-797 for green card be used for filling in I-9 for employment? One can think of various situations where this might be useful. Say you have renewed your EAD/H1B that is expiring, do you file the new I-9 with new EAD/H1B or show the I-797.

Further Retrogression for Employment-Based Immigrant Visas Anticipated
At a recent immigration conference in San Antonio, it was reported that the Department of State ("DOS") expects that the EB1 China category will remain current and the EB2 China category to continue advancing. On a less positive note, further delays in the EB1 and EB2 categories for Indian nationals is expected as well as the EB3 category for all nationalities. With the Department of Labor's optimistic projection that the the Backlog Elimination Centers will meet their goal of eliminating its backlog and processing the remaining labor certifications filed pre-PERM implementation by September 2007, the DOS expects severe retrogression in many of the categories, particularly the EB3 categories - across the board. While this report is pure speculation, it does spark concern that applicants will be facing further delays in the permanent residence process. The DOS' Visa Bulletin is released on a monthly basis at http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/b...letin_1770.html. Greenberg Traurig will continue to monitor this issue and provide further updates as soon as they are available.
Looks like it's a long haul for EB3 in general and could be punishing for EB3-IND and EB2-IND.
This is the effect of increasing the H1B quota to 115,000 for 2 years and then to 195000 in 1 year without actually increasing the GC quota.
Good luck to all of us. Those who are in late 2001 and early 2002 EB3-IND filers can hope to get relief in the next year or so but unless some bill passes other EB3-IND filers should possibly work towards Plan B. Also read the report by USCIS ombudsman. It's quite revealing about the working of USCIS. This country might be technologically advanced but it's bureaucracy seems to be much worse than third world countries comparitively.

I was initially issued pp for 5 years in India. Last year in '08 when it was expiring, i sent application for renewal of passport (NY Consulate) based on my EAD. However, instead of renewing it for another 5 years they renewed it for 1 year only. When I called the office, they said that they receive tons of pp's lon EAD which can be renewed for a year only.
Did anybody face this same problem? Can I apply for new passport based on I-485 receipt and would they issue passport for another 5 or 10 years?
Thanks in advance
In this economy you need to generate good revenue - this is a good revenue for Indian missions'.
BTW, As far as I heard from Indian Consular Officer in Chicago - Indian Mission has a right to issue a 1 year passport, if (1) Your previous passport had < 10 yr validity or (2) you are on a temporary visa (like visiting or tourist) trying to renew it in overseas or (3) you have not stayed outside India continuously for 3 years.

"TUCKER: But he does make a point. You can -- you've got to create jobs for these people so that when they come out -- the Vacaduar (ph), for example, says 40 percent of the engineers at Duke end up not going into engineering because the salaries aren't there when they graduate. They go into investment banking. "
As far as I know Boeing, NASA, Raytheon etc. who recruit candidates from West Coast and some East Coast schools, pay great salaries to fresh graduates who are US citizens. If engineers expect to be making anything close to the bloated salaries in Finance, they are in the wrong major.
Doesn't it still mean that there's a shortage of people willing to work in Engineering and they have to import that talent?
It's like the time in school, when the only people willing to work in on-campus restaurant jobs like Subway, Wendys etc. were desis or Chinese: because the salary per hr was minimum wage and lot of American kids felt its beneath them to work there. It did create a shortage of people in that line.
I frankly don't understand the line of reasoning followed by Lou Dobbs & Co.
