Slave Labor Helped Build Capitol (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/11/07/national/w161841S52.DTL&hw=immigration&sn=014&sc=278) By SUZANNE GAMBOA | Associated Press Writer, November 7, 2007
Tours, exhibits and commemorative plaques in the Capitol should recognize the contributions of slaves in constructing Congress' home, experts told a House committee Wednesday.
Such citations would help encourage blacks to make a historical connection to the building, a congressional task force said.
Sarah Jean Davidson, founder of the Association for the Preservation of North Little Rock, Ark., African American History, said blacks and others feel the Capitol and some historic buildings belong more to whites.
"We can say our ancestors helped build the Capitol so when we look at it, it's not 'your building, the majority', it's our building," Davidson said.
"It will be a connection not just for African-Americans, but for immigrants who come from all around the country. ... Once they start feeling connected, then we are one," she said.
Congress created a task force to commemorate slaves' work on the Capitol. Panelists recommended that the history be included in guided tours, educational materials, exhibits, plaques and showcases in the Capitol Visitors Center.
The recommendations were released at a hearing of the House Administration Committee.
"We look back today not to open wounds, but to ensure that we tell the story of those slaves so their toil is never forgotten," said Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga. "We cannot allow our citizens to leave without an appreciation for the efforts of slaves who helped build our 'Temple of Freedom.'"
Financial records of the District of Columbia show that hundreds of local residents received payments for the slaves' work, said William Allen, the architectural historian of the Architect of the Capitol's office.
The ledger recorded the payments as "Negro hire," Allen said.
Many worked in quarries where they extracted the stone for the building. Others provided carpentry skills. Some slaves were stationed in pits from where, with a partner above ground, they would use a whipsaw to saw logs rolled over the pit. Slave women and children were used to mold clay in kilns, Allen said.

No. You can't port PD from spouse.
You can port your own PD, if you have another EB3 approved.
You can port the country of chargeability, if she was born in another (ROW) country.
My priority date is in 10/2006 under EB3. My wife just start her GC process under EB2. Can my wife port my PD date to her GC application?
Thanks!

Companies can change their address after filing your 485 and there is no reason to intimate USCIS if the company's address change. BUT make sure your address is correct on their system. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

Hello,
Please let me know if anybody is travelling from BLR(Bangalore) to BOS (Boston) by British Airways on Mar 1 2011.
Because my mother-in-law is visiting US and she is travelling alone. If some travel companion is there it will be helpful as she does't speak english.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I missed to write my family name in I -94 and When I reached the SSN office to apply SSN, I came to know that the mistake to be corrected and I am advised to meet the immigration office.
Now I am planning to go back to India next month, If I apply for I -94 correction I will take more then 60 days to get the new I 94 and I have to attach the original I -94 along with I-102 form (form for I 94 correction).
So I can travel back to india without correcting the mistake in I 94 and without the orginal I -94.
Please reply me in details
Thanks

Is a person who was deported almost 30 years ago, and returned to the U.S. without inspection a year later subject to the permanent bar under the 1996 immigration law? The 1996 law created the permanent bar to the immigrating to the U.S. Section 212(a)(9)(C)(i)(II)provides as follows: "(C) Aliens unlawfully present after previous immigration violations.- (i) In general.-Any alien who- ...(II) has been ordered removed under section 235(b)(1) , section 240 , or any other provision of law, and who enters or attempts to reenter the United States without being admitted is inadmissible."

Hi:
My In-laws applied for visitor visa on 26th May at Delhi US Embassy. One of them got the passport from VFS after getting VISA for 10 years but other one is still waiting. I am in US on H1B visa with my family.
We called VFS and they said they did not get the passport back from US Embassy.
One of my in-law works for Indian government as scientific assistant with food dept.
It seems right now there is no way we can track what processing is going on?
Is there any such cases known in the past and what could be the reason for the delay in the passport arrival from US Embassy? Do they perform additional verifications and what time it takes usually?
Any clues/suggestions?
Thanks

The Technology section of the New York Times (http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/13/googles-immigration-fixer/?partner=rss&emc=rss) this week ran an article about an employee at Google whose job it is to "fix" problems Google employees have with the immigration system. The article is interesting, but what is really striking is the tone of the comments to the online article. There is a display of real anger at Google's hiring of foreign workers in this time of economic hardship - when so many U.S. citizens are looking for work. Read the article. What's your opinion?

I originally came here as an E2 dependant but my husband just walked out of his job and had his visa cancelled. My 1-94 is still valid but I am out of status due to reasons beyond my control. He is leaving to go to another country but I am desperate to stay here. As I am out of status, I can't apply for change of status but am scared that if I leave a re-apply for another visa I will be denied because I stayed here out of status..
Can anyone offer any advice? Really unsure of what to do..
