I applied for H1B and Green Card Simultaneously in 2002. My first H1B expired in 2005. I am working on EAD. My questions are--

If I decide to change jobs and apply for H1B with the new company, am I subject to the QUOTA?

If I change jobs( in similar field) to another state in another service center, how is my case transfered to TSC from NSC?

Please reply.


Hello all,

If anybody knows answer to these questions, please reply.

I would have to agree that the colouring is really nice in the first picture. However, I've always been big fan of sepia toned b&w photographs. It's pretty easy to find some good actions for Photoshop, and then you can play around with it from there. I think the faded edge would look really good with the sepia. (really works with an aged photo)

Looks like there is a huge backlog of perm applications. I am not sure if they will look at your application anytime soon. If your application is pending more than a year at least you could apply for extension of H1.

It will be delusional on our part to think that perm applications will have an easy approvals.

Stuggling to get a PERM approval since JUN 07. For a moment if i just forget about this PERM, What are the chances that my H1b Extension will be approved without any problem? My situation is I have completed 5 years and 4 months on H1b. My visa expires Mar 2010 and my 6 yrs term expires in NOV 2010, out of USA stay of only one month. I switched only one employer after coming to US. With the new employer since Mar 07. Will there be any problem with H1b Extension till OCT 2010

Thanks,
R.

any body has similar experience?

When you reach NSC or TSC, you talk to an IO. Who really is an IO? Are they first line of customer service at the centers? They then send requests etc to officers handling your cases?

I am trying to understand the relationship between the Customer Service agents, IOs and the case workers.

Any responses to my questions?

Hello All,

I am currently in H1-B. My GC (EB2) is in progress sponsored by my company.
The I-40 is approved but me and my wife�s I-485 is still pending.

We both got our EADs, but we have never-ever used it. We just applied for it and kept the card.

My wife was also on H1-B through her own employment. She got laid off so she is losing her H1-B. Now I want to apply for her H4 as my dependant. Since she already has an EAD, will applying for H4 nullify the EAD? As I said earlier that she has never used her EAD however she plans to use it when she gets a new job.

Anybody in similar situation? Any remarks or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

No it shouldnt take that long. However if you are not in a hurry, wait for 30 days and call the USCIS to see if it was sent back (which is unlikely in your case).

And dont waste your time by calling the officials or making Infopass appointments. Apply for a duplicate EAD asap. Yes, you have to pay the fees.

Is there any risk in rescheduling a fingerprinting appt? I am travelling when the appointment is currently scheduled for:(. Does that impact the overall processing times of 485/EAD/AP?


With an travel plans that you can attach asking for a later date for the FP. If possible give them the possible dates you will be arriving back and request a date after that. Make sure in your absense somebody is available to pick up your FP notice from the mailbox. Send your request as early as possible with a delivery confirmation and/or signature requried so you have a track of whether your letter made it to them in time just in case..

It will work out.. cheers

Yes

May I ask how you know this? Do you have some visibility to the internal processes, or have a credible source?

I'm not questioning your comment - just checking if it's more than hearsay.

Once every check is completed it goes into a queue and then every month a list goes to an officer based on the priority date and visa availability

The best thing is to call them as soon as the processing dates go past your application date. Call them to find out about ur case. At that time they are open about ur case. They will let you know exactly if your name check is cleared.

They also mentioned that once everything is in place the files goes to the office and then it might take up to 90 days for the officer to make a decision.

I am wondering about this because my I-485 has been filed in Texax Service Center and the receipting date is still way behind. I live in Minnesota and I need to ask my lawyer why did they file my application in TSC instead of NSC. Is there a choice about which Service Center to file applications in? Is there a possible rejection because my application could have been filed in NSC but is filed in TSC now?

Thanks in advance....

Hi All,

I used the AR-11 form for the change of my address. I did it online. Also, while changing there is an option to change the address for any pending petition. In my case it is the I-485, which I changed.
My question is, how to verify if the address has actually changed in the system at USCIS. I checked my case status online and did not see any LUD's.

Please let me know if anyone of you have done the change of address and share your experience.

Thanks!!!
Call the 1-800 number and navigate to an rep via the POJ method.. You can verify you address with them.

Hello,
The new fee structure goes into effect Aug 17.
I vaguely remember reading an anecdote that there is no need to pay yearly renewal fees in the new fee structure. (Am I right?) Please share your views.

--- Not true, you have to renew your EAD/AP every year.


Are there any advantages to filing per new fees?


--- Oh yeah, you will be listed in 2007 Forbes List of "THE RICH" if you are able to afford the new fees structure :) and also ................that is it .


take it easy :)

Hi All,

Need some comments on my situation. My lawyer filed for my I-140, I-485, AP, and EAD on November 20th on EB2 Row Category. I just emails yesterday stating that my EAD card is sent to production, but they have asked for initial evidence on 485. Is it possible to review 485 without looking at the 140? I am not sure what that query is, but really hoping that it is not something serious. I've already waited for 16 months for my Labor to get approved. Please share your experiences, suggestions etc. regarding this.

yes, 485 processing and 140 processing is different. They are joined thread, So they will not approve 485 until your 140 is approved.

Anyone?

Looks like a question for an attorney to handle. Did you do it yourself?

link for those interested

Because if the person applying via EB based Green Card is married and if has children that many number of visas are used up when his application is approved, so even the petition was done for just 1 person, possibly, 2-3 unnecessary visas are being used up.

yep, it worked.. took a lousy picture and made it interesting....
love the effect!

This Stupid lame Duck talks of only increase of H1B's. Rarely or never talks abt removing GC quota.Then if congress really listens to him,its gonna take 6 years just to get Prewailing Wage From DOL.:mad:
