Hi,
I have the same problem in Rutgers, New Jersey. I spoke to someone at the governor's office. Apparently, this residency definition is a federal law. States like CA had to pass legislation in the state to override the federal law. So if one want this to change, then there is to be an amendment. The schools are following the law.
Thanks

Immigration: 'Birth Tourism' Industry Markets U.S. Citizenship Abroad - ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/birth-tourism-industry-markets-us-citizenship-abroad/story?id=10359956&partner=yahoo)
A New Baby Boom? Foreign 'Birth Tourists' Seek U.S. Citizenship for Children
More Foreign Mothers Live Abroad to Give Birth on U.S. Soil, Debate Over 14th Amendment
Millions of foreign tourists visit the United States every year, and a growing number return home with a brand new U.S. citizen in tow. housands of legal immigrants, who do not permanently reside in the United States but give birth here, have given their children the gift of citizenship, which the U.S. grants to anyone born on its soil.
The number of U.S. births to non-resident mothers rose 53 percent between 2000 and 2006, according to the most recent data from the National Center for Health Statistics. Total births rose 5 percent in the same period.
Among the foreigners who have given birth here, including international travelers passing through and foreign students studying at U.S. universities, are "birth tourists," women who travel to the United States with the explicit purpose of obtaining citizenship for their child.
Catering to the women is a nascent industry of travel agencies and hotel chains seeking to profit from the business. The Marmara Manhattan, a Turkish-owned luxury hotel on New York's City Upper East Side, markets birth tourism packages to expectant mothers abroad, luring more than a dozen pregnant guests and their families to the United States to give birth last year alone.
"What we offer is simply a one-bedroom suite accommodation for $7,750, plus taxes, for a month, with airport transfer, baby cradle and a gift set for the mother," Marmara Hotel spokeswoman Alexandra Ballantine said.
The hotel estimates the total cost of the package at $45,000.
Most women stay for two months, Ballantine said, and they make medical arrangements on their own. "Guests arrange and pay for these by themselves," she said of hospital costs that can approach $30,000.
For those with the means to pay, it's a small price to give a child the full benefits of U.S. citizenship, including the ability to travel freely to and from the United States, easy access to a U.S. education and a chance to start a life here.
"We found a company on the Internet and decided to go to Austin [Texas] for our child's birth," Turkish mother Selin Burcuoglu told Istanbul's Hurriyet Daily News. "I don't want [my daughter] to deal with visa issues. American citizenship has so many advantages."
The greatest of those advantages may be the ability of the citizen child to later sponsor the legal immigration of his or her entire family permanently to this country, experts say.
The "birth tourism" industry, which is difficult to track and remains largely anecdotal, has been on the rise for years, according to government and participants reports. Of the 4,273,225 live births in the United States in 2006, the most recent data gathered by the National Center for Health Statistics, 7,670 were children born to mothers who said they do not live here.
Many, but not all, of those mothers could be "birth tourists," experts say, although it is difficult to know for sure. The government does not track the reasons non-resident mothers are in the United States at the time of the birth or their citizenship, meaning births to illegal immigrants who live in the United States are counted in the overall total.
In recent years, many women have come from Mexico, South Korea, China and Taiwan, but the trend now extends to countries in Eastern Europe, such as Turkey, where as many as 12,000 children were born in the United States to Turkish parents since 2003 by one estimate.
The business of birth tourism is perfectly legal as long as immigrants are able to pay their own way.
The State Department and Department of Homeland Security have no specific regulations banning pregnant foreigners from entering the United States. But officials say they can and do turn away pregnant women with obvious designs on coming to the United States to take advantage of free medical care. "When determining if an individual will be allowed to enter the U.S., Customs and Border Protection officers take into consideration the date the child is due for delivery and the length of time the individual intends to stay in the U.S.," a Department of Homeland Security spokesman said.
Still, critics say the practice largely goes unchecked and exploits the true meaning of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, enacted after the Civil War to grant citizenship to descendants of slaves.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside," the amendment reads.
"It's really an incorrect interpretation of the 14th Amendment," said Jerome Corsi, a conservative author and columnist who has studied the issue of birth tourism. "Birthright citizenship is a loophole � [and] as it expands into a business for entrepreneurs in foreign countries who offer birth tourism packages, it markets the loophole to attract additional mothers to the U.S."
Lino Graglia of the University of Texas law school wrote in the Jan. 11 Texas Review of Law & Politics that the authors of the 14th Amendment never would have imagined their words bestowing citizenship to illegal or visiting immigrants.
"It is difficult to imagine a more irrational and self-defeating legal system than one which makes unauthorized entry into this country a criminal offense and simultaneously provides perhaps the greatest possible inducement to illegal entry," Graglia wrote of birthright citizenship. The Supreme Court has only addressed the issue once, ruling in 1898 that citizenship applies to U.S.-born children of legal immigrants who have yet to become citizens.
Some legislators, including U.S. Rep. Gary Miller, R-Calif., have called for revising the Constitution to forbid citizenship by birth alone and thereby end the attraction of birth tourists. But other politicos, from both sides of the aisle, say such an approach is politically unrealistic, not to mention unnecessary. "You just turn people down for being pregnant," said Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies. "That should be the default position and then there'd have to be some very good reason for an exception."
Krikorian acknowledged that some people might find a ban on pregnant visitors "outrageous," but questions the rationality of the alternative.
"Do you really think that's right that somebody here visiting Disneyland should have their children be U.S. citizens, which they'll then inevitably use to get access to the U.S.?" he asked.
Krikorian and others call the offspring of birth tourists "anchor babies," because they can serve as a foothold for future legal immigration of an entire family.
Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, said he sees the debate about birth tourists in a different light, however, noting that arguments about citizenship of children ignore a fundamental question of humanity.
"If we're a country that cares about families and family values, then why are we blaming the children for a decision the parents made. Their only decision was to take a first breath," he said.
"What is the State Department going to do? To fill out a visa application have a woman pee on a stick?"
The United States is one of the few remaining countries to grant citizenship to all children born on its soil. The United Kingdom, Ireland, India and Australia, among others, have since revised their birthright laws, no longer allowing every child born on their soil to get citizenship.

Wait a minute…. You guys have a problem if someone else is getting GC even though you guys very well know how much difficult it is to wait for the long process to finish. I am completely stunned to read some of the posts on the forum as these posts are always looking for parity with this or that group. Some posts say “why undocumented are getting GC after paying 10K as we have been paying taxes for years”, some posts simple whine as to why L-1 get to file in EB-1 etc etc. Is there an end to this unnecessary complaining and this urge to always looking for parity, sometimes with the privileged and sometimes with the under privileged? Some posts are always looking for “fairness” whatever "fairness" means to the individual situation, and then, blame the rest of the world around for delay with their green card process. I think we ought to grow-up and stop complaining about someone else getting their green card. We ought to stop complaining about all the wrong things that may be going on our lives and we should get serious about making phone calls and meeting with the lawmakers. I do not intent to start a flame war and my intent is not to offend anybody either, just trying to point out that we could be happier and effective if we stop whining and complaining. It would also help to create a more positive and constructive environment on the forums.

PTO is a new one for me. Paid Time Off??
You can work with the new employer while H1B is pending, for 240 days as far as I know. There is premium processing if H1B doesn't come on time.
3 days without pay is not a gap in employment if the employer-employee relationship is maintained. Don't worry too much. Even in normal circumstances, it takes a few days to relocate.
Yep. Paid Time Off (PTO) - This will allow me to get regular checks until PTO is exhausted.
Actually, my question is it LEGAL to work for the New employer (After filing H1B Transfer and getting the receipt) when on PTO (Paid Time Off) with current employer?

First of all let me congratulate and thank IV for working tirelessly to bring about this huge benefit for most folks stuck in the green card mess. I have always believed in IV and its power to move mountains. However, in the midst of all this rejoicing, let's not forget a certain class of IV members who will not be able to take advantage of this recent benefit for all practical purposes. I am talking about the folks who are currently single and will not be able to file for their (future) spouse before Aug 17. It seems to me that the best thing that IV can do to bring relief to these folks is to lobby for and effect legislation to exclude dependents from the visa cap, i.e let dependents (or at least spouse) to file for I-485 even when priority dates are not current. I believe this single piece of legislation (if we can make that happen) will have a big effect on the entire community, because that will free up that many visa numbers that would otherwise have been used up, and let folks get their GCs faster (even if they are happy with their EADs and APs). Can IV focus on this front please ?
Congratulations btw to everyone who will be taking advantage of this window of opportunity.

Nikon will have to make some major adjustments in their operations to keep in the game. They seem to be much less agile than Canon. Nikon is somewhat less innovative, and my sense is the are mainly trading on reputation instead of innovation.
Nikon is more or less forced into being the way they are because they do not have the diversification into other product lines, as is the case with Canon.

Hi All,
By now, we all know of at least one person who lost his/her job recently. Unfortunately, this is a very tough time for all the people around the world, not just here in the US. But, we have to worry about our status here in the US.
This is the one community which helps people like us, who are still waiting to go GREEN!!!. No body is going to help you or me get a job when we lose one. We have to help ourselves. We have to help each other.
So, Friends, apart from sharing the bad news of layoffs with the community, please also share any job openings here. Let us try to help the ones here, without a job, to get one. I know it is not a job portal, but this is the one place, where we all immigrants come together. This is the time to help each other. So, Admins, can we create a separate thread to post known job openings that can help our friends here at IV.
Good luck to everyone and stay calm. Remember, there is always daylight after night. We will overcome this. Yes. We Can.

Call 304-625-5590, option 3 to get status of your fingerprints only. No namecheck status on this number.
Also you need to have your A#.
This way you will atleast know if FBI sent the results back to USCIS.
FYI, LUD changed twice, the day we gave fingerprint and the day after.

Folks,
I'm sure you must have debated this already. But, I'd post this anyways:
Is it possible to take out(or substitute) the need to have a IV handle or register with IV, inorder to participate and meet the law-makers on the Advocacy Day?
I'm thinking that could bring in more people. People who wants to register will register anyways and who don't want to can also participate. There are other ways to check the validity of the person registering
Thanks!
I never thought registering on IV is a an issue. I see close to 50K registered users on IV, I have not come across anyone who had any issues for registering with IV.

a recapture helps everone by moving the line forward and making dates current. there is also a parallel effort on to bring changes like 485 filing without PD being current. so no one ie being left behind or ignored. these efforts will help all of us affected by retrogression and stuck in different stages.

As a long time subscriber to the WSJ and one of the victims of the "bait and switch" by the USCIS and Department of State, I would like to thank you for covering the article in the WSJ. I would like to kindly direct your attention to the stand taken by AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Assoc.) and Immigration Voice (a non profit organization representing skilled immigrants). I feel it is necessary that the impact and the behind the scenes maneuvering at DOS be covered by a respectable publication such as the WSJ. May I point you to some of the links on the internet. Some are yet-unverified rumors. I hope that you will use your journalistic discretion and power to bring more light to this issue

http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/2007/07/full-blown-scan.html Mr. Siskind is a respected lawyer in the immigration field.

Sincerely
Kalyan.

A friend told me about the E category visa for Australian nationals. Is this true?
According to him, if you become an Australian national, you can use the E-visa.
Has anyone migrated to Australia and returned to US successfully on a E-visa?
Has anyone also applied successfully for a green card on a E-visa?
How long does it take to get Australian nationality?
