USCIC announced the availability of two new grants that are designed to help lawful permanent residents prepare for citizenship and integration in the U.S. This year, nearly $7 million will be made available for education initiatives throughout the country. According to USCIS, these two competitive grant programs will help expand citizenship preparation programs for lawful permanent residents that wish to achieve U.S. citizenship.
Citizenship and Integration Direct Services Grant Program - The first funding opportunity will focus on providing funding for local programs that are currently working to promote the rights and responsibilities of citizenship through direct citizenship preparation programs for lawful permanent residents. Examples of such programs include those with initiatives to prepare lawful permanent residents for the civics and the English reading, writing and speaking portions of the naturalization test.
Organizations interested in applying for this grant opportunity should send a required letter of intent by March 26, 2010 to the following email address: citizenshipgrantprogram@dhs.gov.
Citizenship and Integration National Capacity Building Grant Program- The second funding opportunity will focus on increasing the capacity building initiatives of national, regional and statewide organizations that provide citizenship services in underserved communities. Funding through this grant will assist these organizations in promoting the integration of immigrants in the U.S. through direct citizenship services for lawful permanent residents.
Organizations interested in applying for this grant opportunity should send a required letter of intent by March 26, 2010 to the following email address: citizenshipgrantprogram@dhs.gov.
To apply for either of these programs, visit www.grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov).

Your wife is fine. There is a CIS memo that specifically says that her H-4 status is not employer-specific. The only thing is that she will have a different expiration date to you. She would no get admitted for any longer than her visa, even showing your H-1B approval.

In response to the major delays with Labor Condition Applications (LCA's), the USCIS announced a temporary policy and procedural change regarding H1B petition filings. Effective November 5, 2009, H1B cases can be filed prior to the certification of the required Labor Condition Application (LCA). This change was necessitated by delays in LCA processing through the Department of Labor (DOL).
Here is how the new process will work. USCIS will begin to accept H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) petitions filed with uncertified LCAs for a 120-day period, commencing November 5, 2009 and through March 4, 2010. However, USCIS will only accept such H-1B petitions if they are filed at least 7 calendar days after the LCAs were filed with DOL and include evidence of these filings. The only acceptable evidence of filing is a copy of DOL�s email giving notice of receipt of the LCA.
Petitioners who seek to take advantage of this temporary flexibility in the normal filing procedures for H-1B petitions must wait until they receive a request for evidence (RFE) before they submit the DOL-certified LCA to USCIS in support of the H-1B petition. USCIS will give petitioners a period of 30 calendar days within which they must send in a DOL certified LCA in response to the RFE. We welcome this new procedure and hope that it will expedite current H1B processing.

This is an awesome community folks. I was able to get enough people to respond to this thread and the NPR reporter was surprised and very happy that we could do this even on a weekend.
Thanks a lot to everyone who responded.
Also, if you are available to talk to media in the future, please send me a PM after making sure that your contact information in the IV profile is correct.

the fact that you move using AC21 and use EAD for work nullifies your H1 immediately and the dependents lose H4. even the date on I-94 becomes meaningless.
you will have to renew your EAD for work and AP for travel.
The fact that your I-485 is pending is all that is needed to keep you legal. But if for any reason I-485 is denied you will be out-of-status.

My 6 years on H1b expires on Nov 2010. I have 140 approved from company A.
1.What's the earliest I can apply for 3 year H1b extension based on my 140 approval?
2. If I switch to company B right now and get company B to file for labor using my approved labor's priority date, are there any time restrictions for filing H1b extension?
3. Suppose I get a 3 yr H1b extension from company A, can i switch to different company after that using that H1b visa?
Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.

Hi all, I hope someone can provide me with some advice.
I made an awful mistake today. I am in the middle of an H1-B transfer (company just signed application and sent to lawyer for sending to uscis this week) and moving to a different city for this job. I am moving this week and will commute to my old job until my notice gets accepted. My issue:
I had prepared my AR-11 (change of address form) and had it sitting on my desk ready to be mailed once my application was approved (since my application and all documents had my old address from when they started the process). I took the envelope with other mail by mistake today and put it in the mail.
Will this be an issue with the application? I don't know if they'll deny my transfer because of an address discrepancy or something.
Please advise.

I hear that any transfer of a visa to a different one, in your case from L1 to H1 need to go back to your home country for stamping. Please consult an immigration laywer for more details.

I'm in my 3rd year of my first H1-B which will be expired Sep. 2011.
If I transfer my H1-B now to another company, then do I automatically get another 3 years or do I have to file an extension after my H1-B has been transferred?
if you get transfer, new employer will have new LCA with new dates in it (as applied) and employer will fill I-129 with new dates. So when USCIS replies with I-797A there will be I-94 attached that matches new requested dates. So it will get extended to the end of new contract or 3 years, whichever happens sooner, because USCIS does not grant you presence for more than 3 years at once.

Usually change-of-status applications are considered abaondoned if one leaves the country but not extension-of-status. I do not see any problems with their travel here. Gurus?
