The IO again wryly told him that things don't work that way. The dude then said that he was not planning on traveling anytime before the expiry of the AP and said that the IO could keep the copy he had submitted. The IO sarcastically told him to change his lawyer. The dude told the IO that he had only one copy and the lawyer had told him that one copy is enough (you could see that he was nervous). When I was in the Secondary room, there was another person who had only one copy of the AP. My lawyer had told me to take both copies of the AP with me. When I got back to the USA in December 2008, my POE was Miami. The IO will keep one copy and stamp the other one and return it. On the same note, if every time they lift a copy, then how can one make more than say 2 trips on one AP ? I have seen lots of people using AP for business travel and they do make more trips. They have also told me that if a CBP officer looks to lift a copy, we should politely ask him/her if there is any specific reason he needs an original and can't make a copy. Interesting read since my lawyer had informed me specifically that the CBP officer at POE is not supposed to lift one copy of advanced parole, he's supposed to stamp it and hand it back over to me and make a copy for his own records. Next steps are for us to support IV Advocacy (see separate threads for the April Advocacy) and lobby hard for the necessary legislative changes.this is a good presentation that can be used to to lobby for a piecemeal legislation/amendment for legal immigrant backlog reduction!
You've to understand that this is just a panel discussion and they can only make recommendations for execution by the politicians.they themselves cannot take any measures to resolve the issues. It's a long discussion but the summary in the last 2-3 mins suggests thatĪ) the temporary worker visas issue should not be tied to backlog reduction issueī) other countries like canada and australia have already changed their immigration policies for high-skilled immigrants and US is falling behindĬ) that the US government needs to provide clarity on the GC process one way or the other instead of keeping us in limboĭ) interesting observation by canadian economics lady professor - clearing the immigration backlog is the only immigration reform that is needed for US economy. I clicked on the link provided but unfortunately I was not able to watch the video, can you please share what was concluded at the end of the session, any measures that they plan to take?
