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.

Judge Susan Bolton, who heard arguments this week on the first of the Arizona lawsuits, has narrowed the issues she is considering blocking before the law takes effect next week. Some sections that are not in dispute, such as the provisions on day laborers, will take effect on the scheduled date. More controversial provisions, such as those allowing police to enforce immigration laws and the criminalization of illegal immigration status under Arizona law.

Approaching a senator is always okay. You don't have to prove that you are a taxpayer to get a senator's help. It may or may not help but it definitely is still worth a try. Note that if the senator provides some help and the wife and child visits for graduation day the visa status applications should most probably be for B1's (visitors).

Hi All ,
First of all , thanks soooo much for this great site. I have a small question. My PD is July 2002 under EB2 / India. I was stuck with name check. Now that name check does not matter because of new rule > 180 days and my PD becomes current from today - April 1 , how long does USCIS take to make a decision about my case ? Do I need to call them and request a case review or do something to see some movement ? Kindly advice. Or is it just wait ?
Sincerely , MHK

I think answer is NO if you want to come back of L1A from B employer.
To be eligible for L1A, You need to be on outside USA payroll from B employer for atleast 1 year (from past 3 years).
With H1B, you will be on USA's payroll for that period.

Your wait really starts when you gets your I140 approved. After that you can do all is to wait for 8/9/10/11 dates every month to watch the visa bulletins [:(]

One of the comments on my post earlier today about the killed Border Patrol agent seemed pretty harsh - accusing most BP agents of being restrictionists with bad motives. I still think that's harsh and most Border Patrol agents are honestly out to do the necessary job of protecting our country's borders. But the timing of a major scandal involving Customs and Border Patrol certainly will make many people question just who the agency is hiring. According to the NY Times: After federal border agents detained several Mexican immigrants in western New York in June, an article about the incident...

So we got an RFE. Bummer. Some of the things were really simple things, like I missed signing in one spot... oops. Had to get a copy of my dad's birth certificate because he's supporting my husband with his income. But two of the RFEs were for taxes which I am 99% sure that I sent in for 2007 for both my father and I, so I don't know why we got an RFE for that (I just ordered the tax transcripts for all 3 years for the both of us, just to make it easier). Anyway, they also want my dad's paystubs for the last 6 months. Cool. So I went through my dads paystubs, and two of the paystubs are missing from the last 6 months - one from May and one from March

Hello everybody,
I am a new member. I read some of the posts on this website and know that there are some Singaporeans in this thread who have applied for the H1B1 visa under the US-Singapore Free Trade Agreement. Questions:
1. How long does the process of applying for the USSFTA H1-B1 take?
2. Where is the best place to apply for the USSFTA H1-B1 visa?
Please advise especially if you have already done it. I am about to start the process. Any advice is highly appreciated.
Cheers!!

One of the stand out football players for the United States Military Academy at West Point is junior Alejandro Villanueva, a Spaniard who played high school football in Belgium. The wide receiver is also the tallest player in all of college football - 6 foot, 10 inches. Villanueva will have to serve five years in the Army after graduating and will probably be deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq. Hopefully, he'll still be able to have a shot at the pros when he is finished.

We can see more of these GC approvals and visa number allocation in September because USCIS and DOS have to use up all available visa numbers.
If not, we can see again about 10,000 visa numbers unused and wasted.

Do we (parent) gets any benefits in terms of Visa status if you have child born in USA and you stay in US for certain years?
In the other word:
Once you have child born in USA is there any way to get green card based on your child citizenship?
Once the US citizen child is an adult (I think 21 years old), then s/he can sponsor the parents for green card.
Otherwise, no.

from my personal experience and from others, you can't get to talk to an Immigration Officer by calling the 1-800 number. you need to get an Info pass appointment and that way you can talk to an IO.
good luck
When ever I call the customer service they say they are unable to get more information. So I was wondering who can be contacted to get the accurate information about our case.

Is my birth certificate needed to invite my parents on visitor visa? Isn't my SSC certificate showing date of birth and both parents name enough?
