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).

Hello,
Last week i received RFE for my wife's father's name. The name on birth certificate is different from school leaving & other docs. I'm trying to get it corrected from Mumbai.
I beleive if i get a correct one matching with other docs, i should be ok.
Another issue, i have is i have rented an apartment under my name close to my work in the same state. All my docs have my home address, my question is will it affect my case if they find another address under my name?? I still have official address as my home everywhere...
Yes you need to make sure that all documents have consistency in names and dates. As far as your second question goes USCIS has space for just one address which should be your current address. So as long as you can prove that the address listed in CIS system is the most current address then you are fine. There is no law or no way to provide multiple address. Just make sure you can prove that address on file is your primary residence.

If L1 quits the job (for what ever reason) and any change in status such as L1 to Fi etc; will automatically invalidates the L2. Meaning L2 status NO LONGER valid

Our intention at IV is not to control any one's speech.
Dont you have any thing else better to do other than instigating another group of people?
Is this what the great state of AP and Telugu culture taught you?
As a fellow Andhrite, I feel ashamed with your choice of words.

off the top of y head and based on what I've read, a D70 is well worth it, even from a D100. A D2H is now cheap too. With lots of Nikon glass the options are quite good. Even a Kodak SLR/n is a good buy.....

I recently found out that someone had stolen my credit card information to purchase items online. I have since then closed that credit card and went ahead and put a fraud alert for 90 days on my credit report. I don't believe my SSN was stolen, but I want to check my credit report and also for protection have the alert so that no one tries to apply for loans etc. using any of my information.
Will having the fraud alert have an impact on my 485 filing in any way? Let me know what the best process is to handle this if it does have an impact on 485 background checks, and pending green card approvals etc.
I have no criminal history.
Thanks,

Fraud alert does not go into your permanent credit report. All this does it is that when you try to open a new loan/credit account, the lender will see that there is a fraud alert on your profile and may call you to verify. It should not have any effect on your I-485.
I have been thinking of signing up with lifelock.com. You may wanna check them out.

in home country She gets H4 stamp..When she enters US again she gets H4 status..
No need to file another change of status...

Fedex usually does not deliver to PO Box addresses. I am assuming Fedex delivered your package to the actual address instead of the PO Box. I would check with Fedex if the package was delivered.
Fedex delivers thousands of packages everyday to that address. I think you should be fine.

I'm a mechanical engineering and also have an MBA degree.
I work as a support engineer.
My lawyers tell me that I cannot apply in EB2, since my Post grad degree is unrelated to my grad degree and so does not apply to my job.
Is this true?
Can I not file in EB2?
It is better to be slow and steady and get your GC late than try to be fast and never get it ( late and fast is based on the current timelines )
If your lawyer feels it is better to go for EB3, go for EB3. Education requirements are not checked at labor stage but at I-140 stage and if you get your I-140 denied, thats a lot of hassle and trouble.

Hello,
My I-485 application was filed under EB3 category when I was working for my previous employer (PD - October 2006). I changed my job in August 2008, but never sent any documentation for AC21. I now have close to 8 years of experience and also a masters degree (MBA) from a reputed univeristy here in the US.
Now that EB2 dates are so close to October 2006, is there anyway I can port my application from EB3 to EB2? I can initiate this discussion with my current employer and may be able to convince them to help me. But I want to know exactly what needs to be done.
Thanks a lot in advance for your assistance in this matter!

Since you are using the AC21, your job must be in the same or similar category. It does not matter how much qualification/experience you have. The job requirement should need that. Since you are using AC21, there is no way you can port from EB3 to EB2 in the current job. If you want to go for EB2, you need to start from scratch and the job requirement really needs a masters.

Gurus,
My wife got a job offer on contract basis for 3 months. I am on h1 and she is on h4 so far. I am planning to stay on h1 itself. If my wife accepts this job using EAD, Does my status also changes? Is it okay if she dont find a job after this contract expires, what status she will be in during that time, h4 or EAD?
Please advice, Thanks a lot ....

Take Infopass,call CIS weekly,talk to any senator about your case and be on it..for justice..
Your 485 receipt date is May 2004?? Did you stuck in namecheck?? If so they might be working on clearing those NC victims soon..
BTW,Are you with same GC sponsored employer till date??

Guys,
My wife is a Canadian citizen, what is the process of getting a H4 for her? (I am on an H1-140 approved).
1)Do I file an app with USCIS?
2)Can she go apply at the US consulate in Canada?
What type of documents, forms are involved ?
The reason for this post is I was given conflicting info by my old lawyer.
Thanks
Your wife should take an appointment at the closest US Consulate. She and you should then look up the list of documents needed on the website of that US Consulate.
thats how I did it for my wife but she was from India.
hope this helps.
Cheers
