I am a labour substitution case pd feb 2002 filed 140 in June at NSC. My 140 has been pending for more than a year. Now recently I received 2 year ead.

Does this imply my 140 is approved too???

Is it safe to work on ead of one gets 2 year ead with pending 140.??

please advice.

I do not understand why they grant EADs when your I-140 is not approved. The reason I bring this up is if a person loses his/her job and your I-140 is revoked, the EAD is useless. You cannot use AC21 for that because your I-140 is not approved.

Nebraska center is doing nothing regarding I-140 EB-3 (India) apps. The I-140 date at Nebraska has beeing moving by 1 day per month for the last 7-8 months. It is stuck at March 30th 2007. Moreover, the latest "as of" i.e. "report" date that you see on Nebraska is July 31st 2008. It is not current (Sept 2008) as many of you may think.

I understand that they receive 1000s of applications but that is no excuse for incompetence. As of July 31st, it was taking them 1 year and 4 months and now it is 1 year and 6 months to process I-140.

Why don't they re-institute expedited I-140 approval?

Can IV please help us?

I am sure he will update his profile that he will be there at the rally.

Others reading this, you have reached this thread. You can easily reach DC for the rally.:D

if we sign 28th june , it will be considered 1st july filing ?

A good friend of mine is getting divorced with her husband. The husband is the primary employment based green card applicant and their dates are current.
Will her I-485 be denied after the divorce?
The husband is willing to wait till the green card is approved before the divorce.
If she gets her green card, will it be revoked after the divorce?

Hi,

Currently I am in US in H1B and my I-94 is expires in Sept 30 2010 and there is an extension filed for my H1.

In the mean time I want to file I-130 and I-485 based on my brothers citizenship.
Whether the status will change before sept 30 2010? Also if I leave US whether the application will be still valid and how much time it takes to get an approval for both?

Thank You,
Anil


Family 4th preference is retrogressed by a decade ( or two if you are from Philippines), so you may have to wait another 10 years to be eligible to file i-485.:confused:

i just checked the profile ...'interesting' timeline to say the least

labor approved 1972
140,485 applied in 1970

I think we might be burning the midnight candle on this 'prank'

It is a good idea to contact the international student office in your university. But I have seen people using up their OPT without being employed.

I would like to file my PERM through a good immigration lawyer in bay area. Does anyone have any recommendation? Has anyone used Indu law firm?
Some of the big names like fragomen etc seem to handle mostly company cases and are too expensive for individual case filing.
Also how much is the charge typically for the whole GC process or PERM. I know it would vary depending on lawyers but i am looking to get some general idea on how much people on the Forum have spent filing their cases from GOOD lawyers.

I am going thru Indu Law Firm.. She / Her Assistances are well orgnized (firm)

Hello Gurus,

Can we use an Existing Adv. parole Document that was stamped at the POE this year be used Again for Travel Purpose. It has a Valid date and expires in September '08. I am planning to visit europe next week and i couldn't find the 2nd AP Document that was never used.

Please comment!

Yes you can.
I specifically asked this question to the IO at POE. He said I should use the already stamped one not the new one. Please make sure to carry extra copies.

yes, Better you sponsor

Use the following link to see USCIS Application and Receipting Update

AFAIK, EB1-B requirement includes at least a tenure-track position with the sponsoring University, whereas from your current job title I would guess yours is a contractual (no-tenure-track) position. You may instead take a shot at EB1-A (exceptional ability), which, like EB2-NIW, does not require a tenure-track job. Also, from your stated qualifications, you have a reasonable chance of getting approved, more so if a competent attorney handles your case. (I should add, these days USCIS seems to have raised the bar of EB1-A approval relative to EB2-NIW, so hiring a good attorney is important.)

nice man! If those are of New York city that makes it all the more cooler + makes the captions make sense. I really like them!

yes, they are very good. PM if you have questions. My company has used them and I have had good experience with them.


gman,
Just sent you a PM. Thanks for your help in advance.

If you were a student on F1, and if you just got an OPT (Employment Authorization), you do not have to pay Social Security tax. Once you switch to H1, you have to pay the SS tax.

Filed 02/18 (law was passed 02/17) under premium, approved 02/24.
Congrats.

I wonder how DOL is interpreting the "new employment" clause in the new law that prevents TARP companies from sponsoring H1Bs. Technically, an LCA filed for an H1B extension is for a "period of new employment". If they were to strictly follow this technicality, H1B extensions by TARP companies would also be unlawful. However, from the employer's perspective, an H1B extension is not a new employment, but a continuation of an existing one.

Have any of the celebrity immigration lawyers published their interpretation yet?

This is just my opinion. If I were you, I will go to the Airport and see an Immigration Office and have it corrected.

Hi,

NSC : June,26th EAD/AP APPLIED

Finger Print notice : Received on August 8th

How are you calculating the border right now? Are you simply taking the size of the image and subtracting a few pixels?


uhm... sorry but i don't even know how to increase the width of the virtual border... :ne:

if there is a way to calculate the virtual border just to increase the width of it, please teach me..... thanks!

You cant.

I140 is company's documents and uscis will not talk to you.

Dont worry..my EB2 at NSC took 11 months for approval.

Talk to your laywer frequently as they recive the approval notice without the website getting updated.

Mine online status still shows "case received and pending..." when i got the copy of approval notice from lawyer in Nov.

Thanks

Even though your end client is not the direct client for your employer, they might have used the laguage in the non-compete which reflects the scenario. So check your non-compete document.

May be the final verdict is in favour, you need to take so much of pain in the whole processes. If you prepare for these upfront you can go a head and fight. I had seen couple of instances in the NY, with my friends, where non-compete became VOID.
