Can you put the exact working of the status ?

Is it one of the following ?

Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.

or

Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.

or

something else.

Does the status 'Document mailed to applicant' mean a RFE?.:eek:

We have already sent the reporter an email on behalf of IV.

And, also please note that IV does not have anything against Illegal aliens. We are sympathetic to their cause but have no opinion regarding amnesty for illegal aliens

If someone wants to go to this protest/write to the reporter, do so in individual capacity please (do not claim to represent IV).

When the USCIS finds out and makes a determination that you are out of status, that is when you will be in trouble, or if you go outside the country for a visa, if they notice that you W-2 has a very low amount, they may refuse to give you a visa. When you file the transfer if the USCIS finds out that you have violated your status, they will still approve you h-1 for consular processing, they may not approve your request for a transfer.

Hi,

If I am working with X company & Y company is ready to file GC.
(Assuming Y has no objections even if I do not join the company at all)
Is it mandatory for the candidate to join company Y at certain stage which has file GC?
I would appreciate your comments.

Regards,
Sanjeev.

Yes and no. Yes it is mandatory by definition. No because there are ways around. You could go join a school to get higher education. You could ask Y to terminate your employment.

Better still. AFter your GC is approved, get a letter from Y that "unfortunately the position is no longer available. You are most welcome to try for jobs in other areas". Then submit your resume and go for an interview or two, if called. Keep all records, emails. Then you are completely off the hook!!!

I have a question regarding the 180 day rule. I am a July 2nd filer, got EAD and AP. I-140 approved long time back in '06. So, I will be meeting the 180 day rule and I-140 approved criteria in jan/08.
My H1 expires in 12/08. In case I transfer my H1 to a new co. sometime next year, will I have to restart my GC process again? or will AC-21 kick in and the process will continue as is with me just waiting for GC and PD becoming current etc. Thanks

"If your RD for the 485 is later than that that means they didn't get to look at your file yet even though your PD is current."

I heard it is based on ND(Notice Date) not RD(ReceivedDate) of 485.

HTH,

Thanks you are right on consular processing and you are also right that on transfer receipt one can start working

But I am still confused on entering USA. I read on all the forums, you can enter usa with a Transfer Receipt if your h1 stamp is still valid.

So thats something i am trying to sort out.


you can certainly enter if you have a valid visa stamp and a valid 797 (i am assuming you can use 797 approval copy from company A) please keep in mind that if you travel while your transfer is pending you may get a 797B for the new company Vs a 797A (happened to a friend of mine) in which case you can not use the transfer approval (797B) to start working for the new company. You'll have to get an I-94 by vising a US consulate.

Hi,
What is legally considered as "Permanent Residency approval date" - is it the approval of I485/getting greencard or is it the approval of I140. Sometimes the I140 referred to as an immigrant petition. As we know the process is once this immigrant petition (I14) is approved we apply for adjustment of status as a permanent resident thru II485 - so legally - can we consider that until I485 is not approved, our permanent residence applicaiton is pending?

If you read the back of the approval of the I-140. It says:

APPROVAL OF AN IMMIGRANT PETITION

Approval of an immigrant petition does not convey any right or status. The approval petition simply establishes a basis upon which the person you filed for can apply for an immigrant or fiance(e) visa or for adjustment of status.

Maybe my monitor is set a bit dark since I have yet to see my version as being too bright. Do pictures in my gallery seem to bright as well? If so I may have to do some adjustments.

Hi, I am planning to apply for PIO card for my daughter , can you please tell me what are all the documents I need to get notarized ?

Thanks

hey unitednations:
She had the B visa all along so there is no issue of her telling the truth or not on the visa app.
I have looked into the V visa before as well, and as we know, it is not applicable since I filed the I-130 July, 2006.
The present situation is that we just booked a ticket for her and the baby to head home on March 17th (the I-94 expires March 24th.) The hope is to receive good news on the grad school application and commence the work on the F-1. Thanks for your inputs so far guys..

Stop spreading misinformation. Why do they have 1800 number if the have a same set of person sitting at the US CIS office and the reason why the 1800 ppl do not transfer every call to the US CIS is because they don't want to disturb them. It is exactly because of information like this that the processing is getting delayed. The official stance of the US CIS is that you should contact 1800 number, period. If you have a written/published link which says that the ppl sitting at the service center are NOT adjudicators and are there to provide status updates then kindly share otherwise please do not spread rumours. Further if the IIO are there to provide status updates then why all of a sudden they have stopped doing that?


Kamyab,

I think IIO and adjudicators are different people with different set of responsibilities. They may have some communication channel between them but I don't think you can equate adjudicator to IIO. This I know from one of the calls I made and was told that the 485 processing is handled by a 485 unit. Secondly however random and inefficient CIS's processing maybe, they are not dumb to waste resources who have been trained and skilled to adjudicate 485 application in answering customer calls, considering how much understaffed they have been and the volume of applications to be processed.

what does this mean? does that mean my computer needs to be down-graded to DirectX 7?All versions of DirectX (except 10) are supposed to be fully backwards compatible with previous versions, so you should never have to revert.

Try calling the DOS and explaining then what's going on and see who you can call to check the status next.

The lawyers email is text book response and may not help you much.

If the consulate didn't give you any slip during your interview then most likely it is PIMS related. Call up DOS!

i called DOS again and they say its in the final processing stage at the embassy..check with embassy..and embassy said waiting for information from DOS..i just hope VO doesnt send it back to DOS for more processing again...
how did your wife's PP go ?? any news from embassyy..

Thank You all for your support by answering my queries. Will keep you posting the progress. Hope things will work out fine.

Sure, would contribute to IV, you are doing great service.

Nandini Nair's fees are very less and I got my PERM LC (in EB2) & I-140 approved through her without any questions. Real quick response!

She was a weekly columnist for Express Computer on immigration topics.

She is a total B**** . You cannot even ask her a question!

I just filed for my I-140 in EB2 and I am from India. I would like to know what happens in these circumstances

1, I get laid off from my company before the Approval of my I-140

2, I get laid off after the Approval and before I can file my 485( Is there a window of certain days that make a difference afte the approval even if I cannot file my 485)

At this point I have a good relationship with my employer and I don't see a reason they will cancel or revoke anything that has been filed for me.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Thank you for the advice.

I have applied EAD renewal on 19th Aug..

I think TSC people are very busy approving 485 all these days :):). With the rumors around that there are no more visas available, they will start collecting money from EAD's :):)

Patience is the only word that we should rely on...let's wait.....

All the best guys..

I can't really answer your question without more details, but here are some factors to consider:

1. You can adjust status using a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) called 245k if you did not violate status for more than 180 days between your last lawful entry to the US and filing the 485. If you were in lawful status when the 485 was filed, or hadn't violated it for over 180 days, you may be OK.

2. You cannot stay in status by "piggybacking" one filing on another pending filing. Therefore, if your H-1B status #1 expired, #2 was pending and meanwhile your employer filed H-1B #3, the #3 does not keep you in status.

I hope this helps.

hello,

My mother has 10 yr multiple entry visa. She is planning to travel from Bangalore India to USA through Lufthansa Airways. She has a stop over at Frankfurt airport for about 3 hrs. Does she need to get a transit visa for that. Any recent experience or suggestion? Thanks.

If you have a valid US/Canada visa stamp, then you do not need a transit visa for Germany.
