It's suprisingly difficult to get people to make calls - most of them think it is silly or wrong to lobby, when the fact of the matter is that, the louder ones are those who get heard - not necessarily the ones who have a stronger case :(

Anyway, since it has been some time since I made the calls myself, I will go ahead and make the calls again. I guess others who have called before can do the same.

While it is good idea to move to UK there are similar protests going in UK due to job loss and lot of Work Permits going in favor of Indians. Recently I read an article which says that 18,000 Visas out of 30,000 Visa(High Tech) are granted to Indians.

UK based companies pulled out their operations from India stating the quality of work from Indian operations is very poor.

Adding fuel to fire Mr Mittal relentless aggression to acquire companies is all creating chaos in UK.

My 2 cents

I agree, you should stay on an H1b as much as you possibly can. The H1b is already approved and you can transfer an existing H1b to a new employer (don't have to get a new H1b). But if you invoke the EAD status, you will forever lose your H1b. If anything goes wrong with your pending I-485 and you are still on an H1b, you still have time to appeal and to work through the issues. But if you are on the EAD at this time, then thats it, you have no time left because your EAD is issued to you as conditional approval of your pending I-485. You need to weigh the risks and benefits in taking a job with an employer who will not sponsor you on an H1b.

Best of Luck
Hi Diptam/NolaIndian,

2. can I use EAD (from emp A) till I get my approval for employer A ?.
3. Can switch back to same h1b extension after received it ?.

thanks for ur time to reply.

Guys,
I have approved EB3 LC and approved I 140 with PD JAN 2002. My wife has approved EB2 LC (Perm) and Approved I 140 with PD JAN 2006
As we represent one family can't my wife use my PD and apply I 485 under EB2.
for example If husband is born in a retrogressed country and wife in a non retrogressed country in that case, husband gets a free ride !
Why not in this case ? Just curious !

Only after one of your PDs becomes current, the other can piggyback. May be you could try PERM and reapply old PD to the new one.

agc2005,

Calls to ?

Hi,

My parents' and 2 brothers' B2 visas got rejected yesterday. The VO didn't state the refusal reason. He didn't stamp anything on their passports. I got my GC through asylum, and will get married in Nov. 2009. I supplied a formal letter from my pastor about the wedding that it's real. And my parents stated that they are not bringing my youngest brother to the US because he has school. During the interview, the VO asked them about me. He knew that I got my GC through asylum. He asked if I work or go to school. My parents answered honestly that I'm currently working to support myself.

My parents didn't show their bank account, certificate of properties and business because the VO didn't ask for it. Should they show them to VO eventhough he didn't ask to see it?

Now, we're preparing to apply B2 visa for a second time. Here are my questions:
1. When do you think they should apply for the visa again?
2. What can we prepare to show proofs that they will definitely go back to their country? Should we prepare a letter stating reasons why they won't immigrate to US?
3. They are taking care of my elderly grandfather, 80 years old. Should they bring a picture of him?
3. Will they have a better chance if they left all my 3 siblings at home to give more reason they will definitely go back?

My parents definitely don't want to immigrate to the US.

Help...help....please...I really want them to attend my wedding.


Thanks a bunch for all of your advise!

I was in the same situation as you when I applied. In general, there should not be a problem with MS+0.

Another alternative is to show the experience gained at your current employer in your application. For that to happen, you should've been promoted to a position in which ur exprience is 50% same as your old position, then you can get an affidavit from your manager stating this fact.
This is what we had done for my traditional labor. I believe it still holds true for PERM, suggest you talk to the company's lawyer.

I am in great need of some suggestions. I hold a MS degree in computer science and graduate in 2004 dec. Since then I have been with the same employer.

Now that he is filing for my LC. Is it difficult to get through with MS+0yrs of expereince ?

Also, at this point of time i have found other employers who is willing to do my GC in which case I will have MS+2 yrs of expereince.

Is it worth changing employer for gaining 2 yrs of expereince for my LC.

Does this really make my case more stronger ? or I am just OVER REACTING ? and doing unneccessary thing

DOES THE EXPEREINCE with MS makes it better for EB2 ?

Please let me know if there are some experts out there

Ok sorry if I post this in the wrong place. So I married my wife in 2004 and we began the immigration fillings right away. so you know I was turned away at the border in 2000 because I was going to stay with my wife and her family for 3 months.
When they asked why they would put me up for that long, I told them they were like my adopted family. they still turned me away saying that the money I had at the time $300 was not enough to support my self for that time. this was summer break from school. So that is from my record and the officer who interviewed me wrote in his report that I intended to be adopted for immigration purposes. I think he just mis understood me. ok so that is in the noid. when we went to the first interview the woman was hostile towards my wife and I asking about our age and how we met we are 22 years apart in age. we provided her with documents some bills, photos and joint bank account statement. this is all we had in the first 4 months of out marriage. she asked repeatedly why we had not made any major joint purchases Why we didn't have joint health care. both because I had just started working and had not saved money yet.
We had a second interview to which we took the same documents and more. This interview was short. The interviewer was professional and asked alot of yes and yes questions and would stop us from going on more then that. he said that he had to talk with his supervisor and we would hear from him with in six months. So nothing from them from them for 4 years I called the help line once a year and kept up my EAD and worked full time. Then 2 guys showed up and asked to be showed around the house. we let them in and they interviewed us they took some photos and said have a good day.
Then 6 months later we received our first NOID. Stating that I had been turned away the one time and that I had said I was to be adopted. That I was in a relationship with a person that does not exists. They pointed out that there were photos of my wife with her ex-husband on the walls.
So we go see some lawyers talk to like 6 of them and picked the one who seemed best. talked to people in out community friends who had immigrated. ects. so his plan was to withdraw and file anew to get a fresh first interview. So we refiled with a stack of documents 4 inches thick. insurance, all of our bill, tax returns, car payments. anything we could think of.
So we get anther interview dude takes us back to his office. asked me the basic security questions. and sent me away. Then told my wife and lawyer that the first filing was denied and letters sent. and that they never received our letter withdrawing the first filing. we never received their denial letter. He said he would review out case and the new documents. he sent a NOID for the second filing like 4 months later. So we responded to the noid with a letter from my wife and I refuting the noid line by line. And with letters from friends PHD professors at the local collages. about 10 - 15 all in all and we have not had a reply from them. So the layer said that we had to wait on the USCIS to make the next move. is this so is there anything we can do to move this along? should we switch lawyers? we really like the man we have but I dont know its been over a year now.

sorry for the poor grammar its really late here. thanks for your health.

Your parents do not need A/V letter. They can supplement last 3 months of statements. If you still want to give a try. You can ask bank manager to send a letter with current amount on your A/C to the address mentioned on your A/C. which means, they are sending the information to the addressee on the A/C.

If I were you, I would wait until your job is done. Then, close the A/C with a reason specified "Not happy with service".

It will be helpful if you can mention the bank name on this forum for all our immigrant community.

Friends,
I am working for company A and I have offer from Company B, I thinking of my options, Here is my situation

1. I have approved I140 > 180 days in actually 300 days

2. I have approved EAD

3. mine is labor transfer case and I used an existing labor that matched my job profile

4. Company B is ready to hire me in the same/similar role and are ready to give AC21 employment letter with same details as in my labor.

5. I have approved copy of my labor that was transferred and all other copies related to my case like I140, I485 application and Advance parole etc,....


Please give me some guidance on if I should be accepting the offer from Company B, I am concerned because my labor was transferred from another employee. I have worked for company A for nearly 4 years now and my GC is in process for almost 4 years, labor switch was done like 2 years ago.

Based on this explanation do you see any risk and am I missing anything here, in terms of getting specific documentation from company A application..

please help

I too dont have an A# on my my I-140 approval. Does the I140 receipt notice have an A# on it. I dont have the receipt for the i140.

I have the notice of action for my I-140 approval. It doesn't mention an A# anywhere. Are you sure about this?

I take it the program you applied for is not in the NRMP match and/or you are given a pre-match.

In any case if you want the program you desire and you are fortunate to have the EAD in hand ...what should stop you ! In my opinion just use the EAD and make the best.

I am using AC21 and my spouse is also going in for fellowship. We did not blink a moment to make the best out of the EAD.

So go for it ! (after consulting a reputable attorney if that would make you feel better)

it's gotta be Soul's... the worst thing is the flippin' page transitions! I'm growing old waiting for them! congrats to everyone with a **** website

;)

>> even if she gets a 221(g) at the consulate can she return to US with the AP she has?

Yes. But she may need to use EAD in that case. Please check with your lawyer.

Hi,
I apologize in advance if this has been discussed before.

My case:
Currently working on H1 with Company CURR, on 8th year of H1,

H1 validity Dec 2009.
I-140 approved > 180 days,
I-485 filed > 180 days
Currently have 2 year validity EAD.

Getting offer from NEWEMP. NEWEMP ready to "transfer" H1B. (Job duties and title same/similar)

Question : If I get H1 "transferred" to NEWEMP (basically work on H1 and NOT EAD), and CURREMP revokes I-140, will this effect my GC process. I intend to work on H1 and keep on renewing EAD based on i-485 filed. NEWEMP will be providing AC21 letter which will be send to USCIS after I join them.

1. Will there be any effect to my GC process in case CURR Company revokes I-140?

2. Can I keep on renewing EAD even though I would work on H1 with NewEMP?

I would appreciate any input on this matter. I need to take some decision very soon.

Thank you all.

Regards

GCCovet
