U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano today traveled to Laredo, Texas to announce more than $47 million in fiscal year 2010 Operation Stonegarden grants for the Southwest border states. She also met with law enforcement leaders to discuss the Department�s efforts to support state, local and tribal law enforcement in protecting communities from cross-border threats. She said, "Over the past year and a half, this Administration has pursued a new border security strategy with an unprecedented sense of urgency, making historic investments in personnel, technology and infrastructure while combating transnational criminal organizations that smuggle weapons, cash and people across our shared border with Mexico.� She said that Operation Stonegarden is one part of our overall strategy to provide state, local and tribal law enforcement on the frontlines the resources they need to confront the complex and dynamic challenges that exist along our borders.
The fiscal year 2010 Operation Stonegarden grants�totaling $60 million nationally�support 15 border states and the Territory of Puerto Rico to enhance the capabilities of federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies to secure U.S. borders and territories. Funds were allocated using CBP�s sector-specific border risk methodology based on threat, vulnerability, miles of border and border-specific law enforcement intelligence. Nearly 80 percent of the fiscal year 2010 funding will go to Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas�up from 59 percent in 2008. Operation Stonegarden grants can be used to support law enforcement personnel, overtime, and other related costs to increase operational readiness.

There is a quirk in the SSA software! I applied for SSN for my two sons on August 31, 2007. Two weeks later I got the card in the mail for one son. After waiting another three weeks I went back to the SSA office and found that the application for the second son had been deleted! I was asked to resubmit the application which I did. After two weeks the card arrived in the mail but guess what? The card had my second son's names but the SSN already assigned to the first son.
Another trip to the SSA office revealed that their system would assume it's the same person if the first three letters of the first name and the first three letter of the last name as well as address match! Who would design such a matching algorithm? Why did they not match on birth date as well?
Anyway, I went back to the SSA office today and a new number is yet to be assigned to my second son! I was told the application is now with their headquarters where someone will manually assign the number.

Hi Guys,
I need your opinions/suggestion regarding the following:
I am working as a software professional, my job is a permanent full time job.
I got a labor certification and 140 is still in the process. I am willing to own a company and buying 100% of its shares(not a listed company). The company is incorporated in the state of Michigan. It is a small business company. I will not be serving the company's operations in regular hours and will not be actively involved in the day to day business. I will not be given any designation in the company.
I have the following questions if I own this company:
1. will this have any effect on my current or future any stages(140/485) of Green Card If I own this company.
2. After I own the company, Can I transfer the company profit funds from company bank account to my personal account.
3. Is it possible to own a company without any designation given.
4. After i own this company, will it be treated as I have 2 jobs.
Thank you so much for you time and reading this post.
Please let me know if anyone has any opinion(s) in this situation.

Guys,
I'm in kind of a tricky situation.
I currently work for a consulting company who is sponsoring my GC.Our client has offered me a full time position and I was planning to use AC21 to switch over but better sense prevailed over me to continue with my current employer to avoid any issues in GC processing.Now my client is not willing to extend my contract.Given the current job market, I think it might take atleast a month or two for my employer to find me another project.
Just in case my I485 gets approved, can anyone please let me know if it is ok to be without pay (employer will not pay between projects) after the GC gets approved?Please advise.
Thanks.
Yes it is ok. If 485 is approved. Just dont use the unemployment benefit if you want to be a citizen. Btw, whats your EB category and PD?

Graham: DREAM Act push damaged wider immigration reform effort
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Saturday that the failed Democratic effort to pass the DREAM Act in the lame duck session dealt a blow to future talks on a wider immigration bill.
�It was an exercise to try and taint Republicans with Hispanic voters, knowing that the DREAM Act under these circumstances could never pass,� Graham told reporters in the Capitol after the bill sputtered on the floor.
�What they have done on the DREAM Act is hurt overall comprehensive immigration reform,� he said.
The DREAM Act, which would give legal status to illegal immigrants who came to the country at a young age, lived here for at least five years, graduated from high school and attended college or served in the military, fell five votes short of the 60 needed to overcome a GOP-led filibuster � 55 to 41.
Graham has worked with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in the past to try and seek a Capitol Hill compromise on a wider reform plan -- one that would blend increased enforcement and border security with a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, among other measures.
He said the DREAM Act effort will make it harder to bridge divides on immigration, noting the impassioned advocacy on both sides of the issue.
�Our base is all riled up that this is amnesty, so you have taken a debate on immigration, one part of it, you have gotten people emotional before you can sit down and reason your way through a comprehensive bill,� Graham said. �Doing this vote the way they did it has hurt the ability to do comprehensive reform next year to some extent.�
What Graham conveniently forgets is that he gave up on the immigration bill, because it was being taken up before the 2010 elections!

Are there instances where the processing time before interview will exceed to more than 3 mos? Is it also true that during the embassy interview, you are currently working? I am a nurse and my agency told me that I should still be practicing as a nurse during the time my packet 4 comes.
I'm really having some problems because I am intending to go to Ireland by June. But now here comes the Mar 1, 06 PD. What if it would take me again another year to wait for my US visa. I am really sick of waiting.

As far as I know, the 5 year wait period was until a couple years ago when the family based GC was backlogged. I got married in 2004 and had to wait until 2008 to file for GC, when my husband got his citizenship. At that time, our attorney advised this as the best course, since the priority dates were about 5 years out.
Filing for spouse falls under 2A of the family sponsored GC and currently the priority date for 2A India is 01 Jan 2010. In my estimation, you should get a GC within 12-18 mths.
But then again, I am not an attorney - so please consult one to validate this information.
Hope this helps.

Thanx a lot. I have been searching for a non profit job for the last 4 months with no result. That is why I am trying to find other options. I also researched the GC, but I am not sure if u can work with the Labor Cert only or need another visa.
Thanx anyway.

I am not an attorney but seeing as noone has answered your question here is my answer.
Extension of H1 based on I-140 is part of AC21 and is intended for applicants who are in the USA in a valid H1 status. Since your H1 would have expired and you would be out of the USA, you cannot avail yourself of that provision. So, you will have to stay out for one year and then apply for a new H1.
An attorney may answer now and correct me if I am wrong.

Did you get the finger Print Notice?
My case was also transeferred from NSC to CSC and then back to NSC. I got the receipt and tranfer notice but no finger print notice yet.
I wanted to find out if you got the notice for finger print.
