Hi,
We(Uma Kandaswamy and Ravikumar Balasubramaniam) have been living in cumming GA since 2006 april, and we are green card holders who received green card one and half years back. We had a son in sep 2006 and named him Aaditya Balakandan Ravikumar with out any hassle in 2006 in GA at the same hospital(Northside)
But on April 3rd when we welcomed our daughter in to this world, at Northside hospital. The vital records guys at the hospital refused to put my husband's first name as my daughter's last name and said there is new law in GA, that says we should either name our daughter with mom's or dad's lastname or a combination of both and not father's first name.. This was really wierd to me in this free country..and no other state seem to have this, because my brother recently had a baby in NJ and named him with his first name with no trouble.
We wanted to name our daughter "Kaavya Magdalene Ravikumar" Instead the birth certificate has "Kaavya Magdalene KandaswamyBalasubramaniam" for now.
The SSN/Vital records government office guys refused to even discuss or explain the law and blankly said get a court order and we will change ur daughter's name.
Now we are in the process of taking this to court and changing her name to what we wanted before applying for passport etc..
FYI: I somehow feel like the law is suggesting that we can name our kid either on of these ways and not really enforcing...
Georgia Code - Health - Title 31, Section 31-10-9 - Georgia Attorney Resources - Georgia Laws (http://law.onecle.com/georgia/31/31-10-9.html)
Can you please advice. It is somehow hard to believe in the most freedom loving country of immigrants, Immigrant parents can't name their baby what they want to and go through this hassle.
Thank you. Any help is appreciated.

For EB3 case, after receiving the approval for I 140, I know that we have to wait till DOL Proiority Date is current to be able to file for I485.
If we decide to receive the green card in any consulars overseas, can we just go ahead and file the I485 after getting the I140 approval? (without waiting for PD to be current)
Any advice would be appreciated?

I agree with you that you need to go with lawyers who are really specialized in immigration especially when the case is complicated.
I know a person whos company lawyer screwed up the case. (They are from a very reputed law firm). Then she went with Murthy, they did a great job and got it done for her. They charged her a lot but it was worth it.
So get the best out there. It may be expensive but if it fixes your case its worth it.

you are nobody to the middle vendor and he has no contract or anything with you. Whether he pays your employer or not is none of your business... it is for those two to figure out.
Legally your employer has to pay you whether he is getting paid or not. If you want that $$$ complain against your employer before he closes the shop and files bankruptcy.

It is better to spread the awareness about swine flu as it is projected to strike back in the end of September and peak by the end of October. Every one thinks that it is not of their concern but some one is getting affected till it contracts them. So before that happens let us spread the awareness about this deadly flu virus. In India it is still worse. People are ignorant about this and are being succumbed to death (www.Indianswineflu.com (http://www.Indianswineflu.com)) Spread the word to your near and dear about this flu and also let them take all the necessary precautions.
There is a comprehensive article in Times of India (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4875349.cms) and American CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/?s_cid=h1n1Flu_outbreak_016)website has a ton of good information about the various aspects of the Flu and precautions to be taken.

By chance, I was browsing the USCIS homepage when I came across guidelines for the change of address form. It says that not changing your address within 10 days is a criminal misdemeanor. Does anyone know when this law was passed?

Thank you very much for the reply.
How early can I start working. If I am correct usually I have to wait until I get receipt for USCIS before I can start working for another company. But with H1B from university should I have wait till it gets approved?

The Obama administration announced to use cutting-edge technologies to revamp the entire US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), so as to not only reduce the paperwork, but also the backlog and bring in more transparency into the system.
US President Barack Obama told a select bi-partisan group of Congressmen that such a system would be in place in the next 90 days, in which the USCIS will launch a vastly improved website.
This is likely to help thousands of Indian Americans every year who apply for permanent residency or Green Card, citizenship or approach USCIS for various immigration issues, but have to experience an agonizing wait.

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/PPT%20Control.pngWith all our experience counseling on immigration law questions, the attorneys at Fong & Chun in Los Angeles do not regularly get the chance to see the day-in, day-out operations at airports and other ports of entry.
Whether it is Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy or not, I do not know, but last week, I noticed DHS personnel roaming through the terminals at Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC. They actually went to various gates and randomly requested ID or passports from OUTBOUND passengers seated in the boarding areas.
That is, they checked the documents of both Americans and foreigners who were LEAVING the USA. Not entering.
I followed them around a little bit. The officers were friendly, civil. They approached passengers in the terminal, asked them their final destinations, and asked if they could see their passports. Interestingly, although I was standing right next to a bank of chairs in the boarding area, they did not ask me for my passport, nor did they ask anyone who was standing or walking through the terminal. They only approached persons seated in the departure gate area. I did not see them detain anyone.
I have often been asked whether DHS personnel made random checks of persons in airports. I used to say that "they could, but I've never seen it." Well, I have now. --jcf

Gurus,
I have labor pending from a State A, now my employer is asking me to move to State B. However, my employer is willing to keep alive, labor process from State A and is also ready to file new labor from State B. Question is if labor A gets approved and if I apply I-140 on that labor, do I have to reapply I-140 for labor B, once labor B gets approved or I can use the same I-140?
Help is appreciated.
Thanks
Whether it is LCA for H1 or PERM labor for GC it is location specific, unless one filed(or able to file) AC21 after July '07 fiasco, you need to have labor to a specific job to the specific location you will be working.
Either job or the location changes you need to start allover again, in some cases you can recapture (or port) your priority date.

IV Members,
At some point of time you must have posed a question or had some issue that was pegging you. You tried to get answers from members and resolve issues. Time must have passed and you had an outcome for the issue you were worried/working. It would be nice if you post the experience what happened to the issue you were worried over the period of time. How it has been resolved or what is logical end.
For ex:
I posted a question about my worry about travel to india with out the reciept notice and finally it ended up recieving the notice 3 days before my travel. I have gone through different tensions in the process. IV forums helped me understand where I stood what actions I needed to take. I took those actions, and it resulted in a favourable outcome at the end.
This happened just because some one has posted their experience.
So it is just not posing the questions on the forums but as the time passes do update what happened to your question.
This helps many other IV members who may come across same situations. Some of the IV members do this but few others they just forgot to return back and update the members what happened to their situations later. Do care to let people who answered you know what was the result.
Admin,
if possible make this as a sticky, probably helps a lot of people.
