Has the LC/PERM been approved based on EB2 is the question? IF yes, you should also try for it and ask your employer.

All,

I am thinking of initiating a congressman/senator inquiry for my I-485 since my PD is current. I was wondering if anyone communicated with MA senators and/or congressman for this purpose and what their experience was. Also if anyone can share the format for the letter that you write to the senator.

Thanks in advance.

Same thing happen in our case, transfers TSC to local office(FL) for speed processing then after 16 months we got interviews letter from local office to attend the interview.

In september my dates became current and my GC and my spouse GC has been approved . However my lawyer recieved interview notices for me and my wife. What should be the next step. Ignore the notices as we recieved the Green card or do we need to attend the interview.

My advice "do not ignore it". Best is to take an infopass and get it resolved. Else attend the interview. Take a local lawyer if you need and tell the officer that you already have a GC. It is better to personally close this issue than reklessly abandon it hoping that it will close by itself. It can create more mess than you can handle.

I've bookmarked that first link, for possible future reference. One thing i wanted to point out though, is that in America (im not sure about england), BS is the commonly accepted abbreviation for Bull-Sh*t....

On the bright side, i like your portfolio [age... :)

Are you attending the Rally? Please do, it is important for EB community.

Guys,
I switched my job in first week of October this year and My new employer filed the H1B transfer petition on Sep 26 (USCIS Receipt date). It has been almost two months and USCIS online status still shows case received and pending, while California State Center processing dates shown Oct 15 which is 20 days after Sep 26.
Is there anyone who has expereineced the same and want to share?
I am bit concerned because my employer has started the GC process and will be ready to submit the PERM application in few weeks.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same situation but in vermot center and it took 20 days to get transfered to the new company as i did file in Premium Processing, but a friend of mine did applied in regular as you did nd it took exactly 3 months to get it transfered.

So i think your will be done in Jan 2007 do not worry.

Best Regards

Hi,

I have a question. I am on H1 and are planning to extend my H1 along with my wife H4. My question is, we both have EAD's and I never use EAD. My wife is looking for jobs on EAD. If she works on EAD, can she still able to extend H4 status?

Thanks
As long as she does not work, and she has entered the country using her H4 (as against entering using Advance Parole), she is on H4. Once she uses her EAD, she is no longer on H4. Subsequent US entries will need to be on Advance Parole.

This is my "understanding".

So that means in my case, if some company agrees to file H1 for me, i will not be counted towards quota. Please let me know if my understanding is correct?

In the mean time my company's immigration department is also checking about this. will update whenever i get any response.

You are eligible for 3 years extension with the approved I140. I also applied my H1 extension by attaching approved 140 for 3 years extension, I got it last month...

it will not like 2 yrs and then 3 yrs.....go for 3 years...I think lawyer should know all these....

Good luck...

Hi

Since I got electronic refund to my tax rebate and have SSN for all family members, I was expecting Tax refund (stimulus) to be deposited in my bank accoung this week. This was big announcement in the last week.

But I dont see any rebate deposited in my account?

Does any of you have received such rebates?

Is there any contacts numbers where we can approach if we did not received Stimulus rebate al though we filed electronically?

Thanks

Hi,

My friend and his family got their GC's approved last week. They also have Canadian GC. My friend is the primary applicant and she is currently in US, but her husband is in India. He did not apply for an advance parole and was planning to re-enter the country using his Canadian GC. Now that his US GC is approved, will there be any issue at the port of entry?

Thanks for your help!

Instead of writing in a common forum, why don't you ask these very personal questions to an immigration attorney?

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
When the Senate advanced the job-creation bill last week, employers were given the signal that hiring tax incentives are on the horizon. Perhaps in a nod to the Administration's No. 1 priority of creating jobs for unemployed Americans, the USCIS has just announced a forum on the EB-5 immigrant investor program. In the last year, and as recently as December 2009 (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=facb83453d4a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=facb83453d4a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60a RCRD), the USCIS issued updated guidance on I-526 and I-829 filings (http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/eb5_17jun09.pdf) so that USCIS adjudications could make decisions with clarity and consistency, allowing investors to make job creation through the EB-5 program a reality soon as possible. These are all indications that this is the time for foreign investors to again bring private enterprise to our great nation.

The upcoming USCIS EB-5 forum is only open to attorneys representing these so-called "million dollar investors." Fong & Chun attorneys will be in attendance and ready to present concerns facing our clients as well as potential issues for those investors considering the EB-5 program.

It is true that the EB-5 investors greencard process is often called "hypertechnical," and has in the past been plagued by administrative delay and inconsistent treatment. But I believe that the view of recent USCIS' actions, the agency is acknowledging just how critical the EB-5 investors program is to our nation's economic recovery. For each EB-5 investment, 10 full-time jobs must be created, and that means 10 more working Americans. Call Fong & Chun, LLP if you would like to discuss how you can start investing in America. ---ecf

Contact a good lawyer to do so. You can use EB3 priority date in EB2

Hello All,

I have a few questions for the group. I have an approved labor and I-140 in EB3 category with a 2005 priority date. My 7th year H1 expires on May 11 2007 and my company has already filed for my 3 year H1 extension based on my approved I-140 which will be valid from May 2007 to May 2010. My questions are the following:
1) Can I change my employer and keep my 2005 priority date if the new employer also agrees to file a fresh PERM app and I-140 for me?
2) If I qualify for EB2 category, can my new employer file for I-140 in EB2 category and still maintain the old priority date?
3) Since my current visa is valid till May 11 2007 and new visa will be valid from May 12 2007, can i start work for a new employer in April 2007 based on my new 3 year H1 or do I have to wait till May 2007 to start work on the new visa?


Any help will be greatly appreciaited.

Thanks

If I remember correctly, if your I-140 is "approved" and if your I-485 is pending for more than 180 days, then it "should not" be matter whether your I-140 is revoked or not.

In your case, if you get RFE (what for????) , just send the AC21 letter and you will be fine.

Just my thought on this.

Siboo.
