Some paras from Almost Everyone Lies, Often Seeing It as a Kindness (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/18/AR2007021800915.html).
The perjury trial of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby goes to the jury this week. The case speaks to several issues -- how the Bush administration deals with critics of the war in Iraq, and the games that Washington's reporters and politicians play with each other. As far as the jury is concerned, however, the case is about only one thing: lying.
One particularly well-qualified witness on this subject was not called by either the prosecution or the defense, so today we cross-examine Robert Feldman ourselves. Feldman is a social psychologist at the University of Massachusetts who studies lying in everyday life, and his findings are just the kind of thing that Libby's lawyers could have pounced on.
Feldman's experiments show that stern-faced judicial proceedings about perjury are as remote from the realities of human behavior as President Bush is from the Nobel Peace Prize. For one thing, lying plays a more complex role in human relationships than the black-and-white legal view recognizes. It is also so commonplace in everyday life that putting people on trial for lying is somewhat like putting them on trial for breathing.
Experiments have found that ordinary people tell about two lies every 10 minutes, with some people getting in as many as a dozen falsehoods in that period. More interestingly -- and Libby might see this as the silver lining if he is found guilty -- Feldman also found that liars tend to be more popular than honest people. (Ever notice how popular politicians somehow change their minds on controversial issues such as the war in Iraq at the exact moment that public opinion on those issues changes?)

Hello everyone,
This question is for my wife. She is currently in her 5th year of H1 which expires in Oct-2011. i.e Her 5th year ends on Oct-2010. She is planning to quit her job now (Aug-2010) due to personal reasons and plans to switch to H4. Her employer (Company-A) has already filed for her GC and her LCA and I-140 is approved, but I believe they will be discontinued once she quits. So here are my questions -
1. Since she will have a little bit over 1 year remaining on her H1, can she file for H1 again if she get a new job offer?
2. Assuming that her next company (Company B), files for a GC within one year, Will there be a problem getting her H1B extended ? Since her new LCA (with Company-B) will be filed less than 365 days before her H1b expires.
3. OR Will USCIS look for the LCA filed by Company-A and grant her H1B extension?
Thanks in Advance...

Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Hi Gurus,
I am in my 9th year H1-B. I have my I-140 approved and I-485 pending since July 2007 through employer A (EB-3).
Employer B is willing to hire me on H1-B (transfer) using AC21 portability (and similarity of jobs). After the move, employer A will revoke my I-140 for sure.
Can I apply for an H1-B transfer with employer C after a year or two using AC21 portability? I do not want to use EAD. I want to use H1-B tansfer (3 year extensions)?
This is a major decision that I have to make.
Please reply at your earliest convenience.
Thanks.

On 10/01/09, President Obama signed a continuing resolution to fund continued federal government operations through October 31, 2009. Included in the legislation were provisions to extend the E-Verify, Religious Worker, Conrad 30 and EB-5 programs.
The continuing resolution was attached to the FY10 Legislative Branch Appropriations bill (H.R. 2918), and was passed by the House of Representatives on 9/25/09 and the Senate on 9/30/09.
The E-Verify, Religious Worker, Conrad 30 and EB-5 programs have all been extended for an additional 30 days, though all they may be extended further in the coming weeks once the Senate and House conference the FY10 Homeland Security Appropriations bill (H.R. 2892).

I had applied EAD back in 2009.
I received my EAD which was valid from 06/02/2009 to 06/01/2010.
I had applied 485 back in August 6,2007.
So here are the questions:
1) Some of the instruction says, we should not pay for EAD application if we applied on or after 30 July 2007 though I applied in 2009 with application fee of $375.
Should I get back the above filling?
2) Why the EAD was issued for 1 year instead of 2 years for the first time?
3) If I apply now should I file with application fee? Because some instruction says that I donot have to send filing fee as this is a renewal.
4) Can I file electronically?
5) Should I file for EAD to Nebraska office where I filed 485 back in 2007?
Thanks in advance.

Let's resume our journey along the road where the arts intersect with America's dysfunctional immigration system. (Previous blog stops en route are posted here and here.) Two weeks ago, USCIS made news when it reportedly held up the approval of a visa petition for America's Got Talent judge, Piers Morgan, thus requiring Larry King to extend his term as CNN evening host until November. Today, we learn from The New York Times that a U.S. consular officer apparently caused the renowned German director Peter Stein to withdraw last July from a major Metropolitan Opera production of Boris Godunov, an operatic...

Hunton Immigration and Nationality Law Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has announced new fees for persons seeking authorization to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program. The authorization is obtained prior to travel through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), and typically remains valid for two years. Beginning on September 8, 2010, the ESTA travel authorization will require a valid credit card for payment of a $14.00 fee. The purpose of the fee is to finance efforts to promote international travel to the United States, and cover operational costs associated with running the ESTA program. Individuals who already possess ESTA authorization do not need to pay the fee until it is time for them to reapply.

Hi, My wife has started working on EAD as an individual contract employee and her employer is asking to complete W9 form. But in the form it says that only US citizen can complete that form. Also it asks for backup withholding. I am not sure what it is.
I am confused now. I know that EAD has no restriction in employment. Pl. help.

Guys,
I need your inputs on a rather strange situation I'm in.
I have an approved EB3 140 based on a substitue labor, while waiting for my (EB2) labor. If I apply for a 3-year H1 extension based on my approved 140, can I subsequently use my labor (when it is approved) to file another 140 in EB2?
Secondly, if I get a raise - with everything else remaining the same - will it affect any of the above?
Really appreciate your comments!

My wife was working for a company before. They had filed for her GC. She has an approved I140. She had to convert to H4 because of some legal reasons and could not continue to work for the company. Now she has a valid H4.
She has already been here 7 years on her old H1. Now can she file for a H4-H1 and get a 3 year visa based on an approved 140 ?
The lawyer says that the 3 year extension rule just states that H can be continued beyond 6 years based on approved 140 and so she can go back to a H1...
Anyone here has had a similiar experience ?

Hi All,
I just gave my fingerprints today. I got a match warning for almost all my fingers. I dont remember giving all my finger prints to USCIS at any point of time.. At the max, I would have given thumb and index finger when i travelled.. does this mean i am in trouble?
Any input is appreciated!!
THANKS
