Can people convert LC pending in BEC to PERM? If So, how safe it is and how much time it takes totally.
evaluate your pros and cons based on your own unique situations.

the BEC uses old generous rules to process applications. thus chances of success are better

perm is faster and thus you can get 140 done sooner to get 3 year extension instead of 1 year.

you can transfer priority date via perm. however if your case in perm is denied, you get into problem. you cannot then go back to BEC application.

bec should process cases by mid next year. there is lot of pressure on them. till now their performance has not been all that good and they are getting lot of flak for it.

in the current retrogression scenario, even if you get perm and 140 approved, you will still be in the back of the line at 485.

thus priority dates are more important. make sure any decision you take maintains your old date.

Abbe fairyangel ,

Who the hell are you to tell to leave and all..Remeber one or the other day we have to go thru bad time. Nothing is secured in this country...For a matter of fact you may as well loose your job, andif you dont get a job in the next 180 days will you leave ?..And the answer is NO.

Stop blady shit...and concentrate on yor work....mental Ididiot

Niceguy

Even if you try to wrte incorrect english and spellings to make it look like some Indians who are not that good with the language, you will still be caught. :D

I don't know what's the point of posting such news here. There are fraud people everywhere and hundreds of fraud cases everyday . Should we start posting everything or is it your wish to malign Indians and give Indians a bad name. You seem to be no different from Grassley and company who seem to pick up 10 fraud H1b cases out of 100,000 and say that H1b is a big fraud.

Thank you for your help. I will wait until the 1st set clears before stopping payment on the 2nd batch. Congratulations to you by the way. I am sure you have the same weight lifted off your chest as I do!

Thats exactly exact..

Are you talking about the Diwali Mela event on November 10th?

finally approved... got magic emails this morning :D:D

How does one go about canceling the pending EB2-NIW i-485 (possibly get the money back... will be glad to donate it all to IV :D:D)

I went thru all the arguments and counter arguments that this guy made. Some made sense others did not but the post attached below shows he is a piece of thrash full of vanity and arrogance. Just for yur info Mr. gctest getting into a second tier university in India and framing yur SOP with some thrash and sentiments will easily fetch yu a place in yur so called tier one UNiversities in US. I am sure you opted to do that as you were not able to get into any of the tier one B-schools or other similar place of higher learning in India because you did not have the grey matter in your head. Moreover students from those places come to US directly recruited by the companies in US (that too after paying a hefty placement fees per recruit and on a dual intent H1B visa) but unfortunately they too are in EB2 category............I am really happy that you got your GC and can merrily gloat about your academic proficiency and IQ level of "180" (but commonsense...) with much more freedom.

Were you born in a dumpster? You are assuming so many things here.

Whatever Kumar1 may apply to some F-1 students, but not to the cream of the crop.
Nobody asked me if I have immigration intent... they saw that i had I-20 from Cornell, MIT & UMBC and simply asked "Why cornell?". And before i could say anything she smiled and said "welcome to united states"... hah..suck on that


i bet that "jangli maharaj university" you got your diploma from is making your entire family very proud

Go only if you really need to. If it's just a vacation, postponing is a good idea but don't miss out on brother's wedding etc to stay in US.

I feel your pain buddy!! :(
My attorney is taking his sweet ass time.. so mine will be around 10th..

Hi All,
Recently I received an RFE on my Wife's 485 application asking to prove that we both are still married. My lawyer is asking for around $400 to respond to this RFE, We have already paid the lawyer about $7500 until now for our GC process and she is no longer the preferred lawyer for the company that I am working for, but I had to keep my case with her as she has processed all of my applications until now. My questions are:
1. Can we ourselves respond to the RFE and save the $400.00,
2. If so, What's the process and what documents that we need to send to prove that we are still married.

Appreciate all of your help in this regard.

Thanks

My friends recently went to the consulte in Nogales to get their H1B stamped and they told me that we can enter Nogales with out any visa ... You might want to explore that or find any other places that are closer to where u live and do not need a visa to get a new I94 ...

I am in the same boat as u and i donot even have my new passport with me yet ...

GoodLuck ... Hope things work out for you ... do post your experiences when u are done with all this ...
Nogales is in Mexico,i think u require a mexican visa to enter Nogales.

Rajiv,

Did you LC mention the requirements for your job. Unless it emphasized that a Masters was needed for your job profile on an LC, I140 will be denied. File an MTR right away along with a new I140 uner EB3. Beleive in god and ur priority dates will remain the same as they were. Make sure that the new I140 under EB3 matches your LC.

Good Luck

Ashish!

Your labor wants masters only or bachelors with 5 years is acceptable?


Look bullet no. 2.

The following degree equivalency determinations have been made by the AAO, USCIS, District Court and through regulations:


1. A Bachelor of Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) is the foreign equivalent of a US medical degree. (2009)

2. A three year Bachelor�s degree from India is equivalent to a US Bachelor�s degree. (2008)

EB-2 & EB-3 Degree Equivalency | US Immigration Blog (http://blog.messersmithlaw.com/?p=50)


MurthyDotCom : Combination Degrees found by AAO Equal to 4-Year U.S. Degree (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_combdg.html)


YOU NEED GOOD LAWYER. FILE COMPLAINT WITH AAO.

Good find - IF OPs labor has "bachelors +5 years" then s/he can be back in track otherwise the chances are slim to none.

My attorney tells me they don't give employees copies of labor applications.

Is this normal? Would I need it in future - if I switch jobs 180 days after 485 etc?


Same thing with me. Lawyer does not release copies of Certified LC or I-140 approval.

From what I understand that should not cause issues with AC21; however I would feel much better having these copies in my hand just in case....my 2 cents...of course ask attorney before making any moves...

Hi Guys,

My previous employer has withheld my salary without any reaon..even though i gave app notice, abided with policies and had no bond or anything.

He is not paying my final paycheck since quite a few months and when i call earlier he used to say he will pay but now started like dont call me i will give when i have time......

If i complain to DOL wether i have to fill WH4 or state DOL wahe and Hour form...and would this processs has any effect on GC processing when i start or any repuircussions...as for proof of non payment of salary i have all timesshetss, refernce letters and His mails also

Please Sugest

My case is some what similar. My h1b extension packet was returned for lack of filing fee but before we could re-apply my old h1b expired. We applied however but USCIS approved h1B petition and didn't grant me h1b status i.e didn't issue I-94. I am required to leave the country for stamping.

Now we are filing nunc-pro-tunc petition essential pleading with USCIS it was no fault of my mine. You can do gooogle on this.

Okay, I applied for an H1 transfer late June 2006 on my own. Started at new job after receipt. Late August went on maternity leave. Came back to work in December. During maternity leave, my application was sent back due to wrong fee and no LCA (I didn't use a lawyer and was given somewhat bad advice.) By the time I did a re-application for transfer it was April 2007 (with the help of lawyers, this time). My H1 expired (6 years) near the end of June. But I was told I was okay as long as I was pending. Mid-July got a request for evidence with a date of September 20th being the latest date I can send in the evidence...pay stubs, tax returns, etc.

1. Am I currently out of status or okay because of the RFE?
2. If I apply for F-1 status now (thinking of a second Masters or PhD) will I need to send in the evidence for the H1B before that or will that not matter? It will take me a while to get all of the evidence, but I don't have time to wait in regards to getting the F-1 for school this Fall.

My lawyers suggested leaving the country, but I am fearful of that? Any suggestions, answers, advice?

Thanks.

This is a blog. Its not a credible source of information.

Most likely her uncle sponsored his sibling and she was a dependant under 21 of that sibling (ie. one of her parent's) while applying.

Once she has a GC it doesn't matter how she got it. The same rule applies, unless she got it through marriage, which doesn't seem to be the case here.

To apply for citizenship she not only has to maintain residency but be present in the US for a majority of Five continous years. To maintain residency she only has enter the US once every year.

Is she normally resident in the US or outside the US?

@surabhi - Adios Amigos.

In the same boat...

if the principal files 485 now and then gets married say 2-3 months later when the dates are NOT current, can a dependent 485 be filed for the spouse so that she can get EAD?

I was told that even in the case of a dependent 485 filing, the dates have to be current for the application to be accepted :(


On related lines, if the principal application gets EAD and after 6 months moves to a new job based on EAD, and then he gets married, can he bring his spouse on H4? I think the answer is NO.
