In the ongoing debate on Immigration, I find the vociferous brouhaha raised by erstwhile or current immigrants to be ludicrous. They who have once obtained the benefits are now carping and championing the cause to cut-down immigration. Very sad. :( Here is what I read in the San Francisco...

We need more people to write articles about Retrogression and its ill-effects for Congress to act. Else, Luddite hypocrites like Christine Romans and Lou Dobbs of CNN will rule the world. Try writing to this journalist who had done a neat job of discussing "retrogression" without mentioning the...

Friends, Finally I got my I-485 approved today after pulling too many strings. My priority date is March 2001. I was one of the victims of duplicate alien numbers ( A# ). I got my interview in April 2005 but then my case was not adjudicated. Repeatedly within the past 5 months, I had visited...

So, due to retrogression one cannot file I-130/I-485 concurrently or I-140/I-485 concurrently to avail the benefits of EAD and AP? Dates were backlogged for family categories for ages and so for example if a spouse is in the US on visitor visa, can his/her spouse who is an LPR not file for...

I went to the Interview today at ADO. Took oath, provided fingerprints, and signatures with the new set of photographs. However, due to two different A#s on file for me, the officer could not approve and stamp it on the spot. She had to request the file to merge and consolidate before she could...

I heard this story on NPR while hitting the roads last weekend. This has to do with an immigrant who is currently now on removal proceedings for not being upfront with an ARREST / CRIMINAL record in his home country of Turkey. A 42-year-old Kurdish immigrant named Ibrahim Parlak faces a...

The second-and-concluding part of this special coverage by NPR will be aired this evening. I am shocked, horrified, and petrified. In this specific case, a person was incarcerated with abuse by attack-dogs for 2 years for a misdemeanor, leave alone this being no felony...

As some of you already know, DUI/DWI have been interpreted as "Crimes of Violence" to warrant deportation under INA. Well, the US Supreme Court has overruled against this draconian interpretation of law...

There are no FIFO (First-In-First-Out) rules at INS for green-card processing. What is more frightening is that they lose files of applicants, etc. Here is a latest article that spells the woes with the INS, especially for Green-Card applicants. Most of these observations tally with my own at...
