Canadian Immigration Minister Kenney said that Canadian citizenship is more than a legal status, more than a passport. We expect citizens to have an ongoing commitment, connection and loyalty to Canada while introducing a new changes in Canadian Immigrant norms. The main motive behind these changes to prevent citizenship fraud. As promised in the Speech from the Throne, these amendments will streamline the process to take citizenship away from those who have acquired it by fraud, including by concealment of their war crimes. And it would take decision-making away from politicians and give it to the courts.
The proposals in the Strengthening the Value of Canadian Citizenship Act are as follows:
- There are likely to be tough new regulations covering citizenship consultants and tougher measures taken against those who gain Canadian Citizenship fraudulently. This follows on from proposed amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act relating to immigration consultants � The Cracking Down on Crooked Consultants Act.
- The penalties for citizenship fraud are likely to be increased to a maximum of $100,000 or up to five years in prison or both.
- The intention is to increase the residence requirements so that to gain Canadian citizenship you will have to be physically present in Canada for three of the previous four years.
- In future criminals including violent foreign criminals will be prevented from becoming Canadian citizens.
- The process for revoking citizenship and the removal process will be speeded up. In future decisions on revocations will be made by the Federal Court instead of the Governor in Council.
- Making sure that Canadian law fully implements the first generation limit to passing on citizenship. Generally, Canadians living abroad will only be able to pass on citizenship to one generation. If living abroad the second generation will not normally be able to pass on citizenship to their children. The exception to this will be children of parents who are working for the Canadian Government or a Canadian Province or in the Canadian armed forces.

The president can do very little about this. Indeed he tried. It is the congress .
Did he Really try ? It is a question for debate... Well, he promised something in the first year of the presidency, Well, for Immigration Reform !! Hope and help is still on its way !!! Change is yet to come !!! I do not think, he really put his all or this was one of the agenda with higher priority. Just my 2 cents ! It is just another blame game

Hi,
My 9th year H1 expires this month and I am planning to use EAD to continue in my job (not extending my H1B). Can you please tell:
1) What do I need to do to with respect to Employer and USCIS to move to EAD status from H1B?
let your HR know you are switching and they will have you fill in a new form for their files
2) I read in some forum posts: there is a new law OR amendment - people working on EAD with adjustment of status will be deported.. we need to continue maintaining H1B status..is it legitimate?
No
3) My current Advance Parole is valid till Oct'09. As I move to EAD, is AP renewal required for any other reason other than travel purpose?
EAD and AP are 2 separate things and neither affect each other. They are both based on a pending 485 application and that's about all that is common with those 2 filings.
Thanks
AjaySri
Hope this info helps.

Thanks for the quick replay,
So it means that if she dose not have the AP with her while she leave US, she can not use it.
Can she go for the visa stamping in India and enter in H4? would there be any problem if she goes to visa stamping and enter in H4 while her AP is in process/approved.
Thanks again for the suggestion.

Hi Experts/Lawyers,
Hope someone can shed some light on this case, anyone who is/has experienced this situation.Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
My previous company (9yrs), they filed for my GC.
Labor approved and they did a concurrent filing in august 2007.
After a year I lost my job, no choice, had to quit, tired to hang in there for I-140 approval but, they had one lay off and I was safe and another layoff soon after I left the company.
After a month or so they withdrew my I-140 petition and it was not approved.I didn't get any notice, but came to know when I got my I-485 denial notcie.
I found a new job out of state, working remote.Filed for I-485 and I-140 MTR/appeal with the help of new attorneys.They claimed since the concurrent filing was past 180 days and if I-140 was approvable they should approve it and allow me to port to the new company.
Meanwhile I got H1B extension with the new company.
The MTR/Appeal Got denied and the notice didn't mention anywhere that my petition was unapprovable, but since it was withdrawn, it's denied and we did show the proof of new job and job offer and pay stubs in the same/similar position and responsibility.
We tired two more appeals, I tried Congressional office, everything failed. Now the attorneys suggest that I go for Writ of Mandamus, and I' am going for that now.
Meanwhile my H1B with the new company is valid till sept of this year.I do not have new perm pending or new GC process, but will still have the job offer for AC21.
Also my spouse is a GC holder, will be eligible to file for citizenship in 2011.
I have to stay legal till that happens or I hear from the lawsuit.Can't extend H1B since GC process is not pending now (this was my 9th year extension).
What are my options? Is it safe to try and see if I can change my status to F1 and go to school here till my spouse gets the citizenship? I have a I-130 pending through that way.So my immigrant intend is clear.Help please.

A Blog reader called me the other day and wanted to know when his priority date will become current. His I-485 adjustment was filed in August 2007 when visas opened up for 30 days, and since that time retrogressed. The applicant is from India and like many others in his shoes is eager for answers. So how do visa numbers become available?
In order to approve an application for adjustment of status (I-485), there must be a visa number available in the particular category. This, in turn, depends upon the country of chargeability and the priority date of the case. Once the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has reviewed a particular I-485 application, a request is submitted to the DOS for a visa authorization. If the USCIS makes the request for a visa number to the DOS when the priority date of a particular case is current, and an immigrant visa number is available, the authorization is transmitted and the USCIS can approve the I-485 application. This is all tracked through the DOS Immigrant Visa Allocation Management System (IVAMS).
If an immigrant visa number for a particular individual is requested from the DOS by the USCIS, but none is available, the request is moved to the "pending" file with the DOS. Data from this pending file is used by the DOS to calculate the appropriate cutoff dates for the backlogged categories in the Visa Bulletin each month.
Cases placed in the pending demand category are processed as immigrant visa numbers become available. The DOS communicates with the USCIS regarding the A numbers of the cases for which visa numbers have been authorized. These cases are then processed to completion and green cards are then issued by the USCIS.
As you can see, this is a very complicated and streamlined process, with actual visa numbers tracked, issued, and assigned to particular green card cases as part of the approval process. Clients often do not understand why they have to wait, sometimes years for visa numbers to open, even after USCIS approvals. We hope that both agencies will find a better way to talk to each other and make the Immigrant visa process and much smoother one.

As they just started I-140 premium processing, I wonder why they cannot initiate 3rd stage premium processing.
I wouldn't mind spending a couple thousand dollars if I can get the actual green card in a couple of weeks after starting the 3rd stage. Time is money. If I can buy it, I will buy it.
I don't think it is very constructive to repeat the same story to the congress, which they are not tuned to. We'd better make various suggestions from many different angles so that they can pick at least some of them in a timely manner.

USCIS is the US Govt..You do not tell Uncle SAm how to do their job....!!
Actually, that is not true. USCIS is part of US Govt. That is true. But, the department is run exclusively on the funds generated by receipt fees. So, they do have a responsibility towards us. dont you think

Dear All:
I am currently in my 7th year on H-1B (with I-140 approved) and my H-1B Visa expired a year ago and my current I-94 valid until next 2 years (same case for my dependants).
I am switching my employer now and my family is planning to goto India and when they go for visa stamping through my new employer - do you think they will get into the trouble because my visa (with old employer) is already expired?
And FYI - myself/my fmaily already had US Visas stamped for atleast 4-5times already in the past through various employers.

Politicians are used to pander to their audience.
All he did was to use some keywords - "strategic alliance"; "peace"; "fight terror"; "immigration reform" etc.
He needs to list out the specific issues that he thinks are issues; and then propose a solution that would not only fix the said issue, but also prevent it from recurring.
Broad statements don't mean anything. Everyone knows the immigration system in this country is broken. But no politician has listed out (nor acknowledged) the root causes of the broken system.
But unfortunately, being a politician, he will not say anything that would put him in a corner.

Yes, it is possible to process your GC through company B while you are working for company A.
1. You should have "good faith intention" to work for company B permanently once your GC is approved.
2 Company B should have good faith intention to hire you permanently once GC is approved
3. An RFE is likely during I 140 process and also during I 485. Company B should be able to respond to RFEs promptly and favorably. Also they may ask company B to show "ability to pay" for the new position and also the business necessity for the new position. These two RFEs are less likely if you are currently working for GC sponsoring employer at the time of I 140 or 485 adjudication (as that would be a defacto evidence that your position is needed and company can pay!).
Also see my post in the following thread regarding changing employers after GC:
