I got LUD on AP (I-131).. What does it means? Is there any problem or RFE..

I saw a LUD on AP too. But, I have no idea what does it mean.
Anyone who could share?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This thread makes me physically ill. I shall not read more, lol.

I am a freelancer and I plan to write an article for a California based Asian Newsletter about the political views of the Immigrant community.

Most EB Immigrants (now citizens) have forgotten what's it like to be an "Immigrant in a limbo". Let's remind them!! Your thoughts might inspire someone to reconsider their decisions.

I was in your shoes in the mid 90's. and I am aware that most of you are in the midst of a messy immigration process.

But, if you had an opportunity, who would you choose and why?

post your official contact info (not some @yahoo.com email address) and interested members can contact you with their views.

IV, you guys are doing it.....

I know for sure that Shusterman is one of the reputed Lawyer's... Its good to see people like him spending some time in this forum.

Also, if this is Mr.Shusterman himself participating in this forum or a member of his team participating. Can you throw some light into EB Immigration in the current CIR. What is that the EB folks can expect?

Hello Gurus,

Here is my situation and I really appreciate your advice:

I have filed my I-485, EAD, and AP thru my employer (consulting company) in EB3 category. I have received my EAD and AP but i havent invoked AC21.

I also have approved labor (PD--01/2006), and approved I-140 in EB2 category thru my client's company.

Since, EB3 category is not going anywhere, I am thinking of filing another I-485 thru my client in EB2 category.

1) Is it possible for me to file second I-485 in EB2 category while first I-485 is waiting for approval?

2) Can i port my EB3 PD (12/2003) while filing 2nd I-485 thru client?


Thanks in advance!!!

YipYip! :P

Hi,

I have a question. I have H1B valid till 2012 under company A and I am working for company A now. Company B is offering me part time employment and they transferred existing H1B transfer. Now I have two H1Bs after transfer, literally. Am I correct? Now I am eligible to work for both the companies. Am I correct?

There is nothing called H1-B *transfer*. Each employer does a brand new petition. Once the second petition is approved (and you got I-94, etc.), your status depends on how the second petition was filed:

(i) If the second petition was filed as concurrent, then you can work for both the employers.
(ii) Otherwise, you can work only for one employer.

So you need to know how Company B filed their petition.

Thanks for the info. Any thoughts on under what scenarios they issue request for an interview. And does this means that the case is further delayed, or they randomly pick cases for interview.

My mailing address is in Chicago, IL, but I am near charlotte now. I will be attending the Charlotte ASC on Oct 12.

mine went to texas too...since every single petition, opt ead, h1bs, I-140, etc were from tsc. i am assuming it was cos my address was in GA and my 485 based A# was also from TSC.

i am already done with my biometrics in sept so i m hoping for a quick turnaround too.

Hi,
Should I go to Canada or Mexico and re-enter US with EAD/AP before my AP expires to start working on EAD and avoid any "out of status" issues ?

Does Canada Mexico ask for valid VISA and I-94 to get a visitor visa?
Should I go to India(my home country) and re-enter US before my AP expires to keep my status ?

It doesn't seem to me that you need to leave the US at all. You are authorized to stay here because you have a 485 pending. You can work using your EAD. The company should have reverified your I-9 form when the H-1B expired, assuming that you showed the H-1B paperwork to complete the I-9. However, since you have an EAD, you were not working without authorization.

However, you have a lawyer who has reviewed all your paperwork and presumably s/he knows something that I don't.

Whatever you do, you should NOT try to enter the US as a visitor when you really want to work here and be a permanent resident. That would be fraud.

I am no expert but based on my understanding on this.

1. Your friend can associate with one of the companies in USA and have an agreement so that the money gets paid to the US Company and then transferred to Indian company/individual. The US company pays tax for the payments received.

2. You can direct the online payments to your bank account via paypal or other methods and then transfer the money to your friend. No need of merchant account. However, you need to report this as an additional income on your W2 or similar and then pay taxes.

3. You can register a small business and then associate with your friend in India. All the payments will be made to your US company and then paid as services / product fee to your friend in India. (Info about starting the Business in USA can be found at Immigration Voice Starting a Business wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Starting_a_Business))

I am not sure there could be other ways, but these are some of the obvious ones.

Taxes are paid on earned money only. Not loans.

If your spouse takes a student loan in USA, there are other advantages though. He/she can claim student loan deduction on the taxes !! Not sure your Indian bank would provide the necessary forms to you or if they have a legal obligation to submit anything to IRS here.

H1B LUDs may be due to PIMS data collection, I heard most of the H1Bs approved after Jan 2004 had LUDs and the status did not change; and 140 could be a regular system touch.


PIMS???

I got Soft LUD on all H1 and i-140 few weeks back. and last week i got Soft LUD I-485 its sec soft LUD on I-485

Please let me know why second time its happen and what is PIMS?

I have a similar case, mentioned above.
Any information on this will be very helpful.

USCIS will send 2 FP notices for the same appointment date & time, If you have filed G28 for your I-485, one to your attorney and one to you.

Hi,
I have a question regarding changing L1 to H1-B visa. If someone comes to US on an L1 visa can he/she change to H1-B visa without going back to India and getting the new H1-B visa stamped? What is the process to remain in the US and changing the status from L1 to H1? Will

Again, I assume that in order to change from L1 to H1-B the H1-B cap rule applies.

It is very late to be submitting the RFE response now. CIS will probably deny the H-1B and your employer will need to refile. The employer should have asked for an extension before the due date.
