Dear IV Friends,

After reading the title you people must be thinking that i got my GC or 485 approved but the fact is I Finally got my PERM filed this month. The purpose of this thread is to inform anyone who is waiting for PERM withdrawal that it took THREE months to withdrawal my OLD perm application. I hope no one is in this situation.

Whenever i use to post something on IV, folks use to have a generic answer "update your profile" but i couldn't as i was waiting to file my PERM. This for those people who always wanted me to update my profile. Checkout my Priority date is April 09 :D in my profile

I am in my 5th year of H1b hope this time i get my PERM approved. In my earlier Green card process i have already been through this queue two times and now i have to start allover again.


Thanks.

Wenn Sie ein Kaukasier sind, stehen Sie nicht heraus. Sie m�ssen eine Person der Farbe, aus einem Ausland sein, zu verstehen warum Leute Sprechen sind, was sie sind. Dieses gesagt, ist es aber nat�rlich, dass dieses Forum schwer in Richtung zu den Indern beeinflu�t wird, weil es von Indians gegr�ndet wurde. Mitglieder aus anderen L�ndern sind in diesem Forum aktiv und werden mit den ge�ffneten Armen begr��t. Tats�chlich regt IV Leute aller L�nder an vereinigt zu verbinden und zu stehen.

Interesting, I found a website that would translate any language to English and here is the output

"If you are a Caucasian, do not stick out. They must be to be understood a person of the color, from a foreign country, why people are a speech what they are. This said, however, it is natural that this forum is hard influenced in the direction of to the Indians because it was founded by Indians. Members from other lands are active in this forum and are greeted with the open arms. Really moves IV people of all lands in united to connect and to stand."

Thanks guys. Luckily I still have the U-haul rental receipts and all credit card statements for that period. Will send all that. I hope that will help.

I see. I thought it was your lawyer that sent all your documents. So do you actually have a lawyer?

My case was filed by a human resource person not a lawer. Human resource thinks I am ok but I do not think they really know the law. I am so scared...I do not know what to do. Ohhhh God..Life...

One question for I-140 for EB-2 versus EB-3.

If one applies for EB-2 at I-140 stage under premium processing and they turn it down. Does the application automatically go into EB-3, or do they ask you to re-apply for EB-3 at I-140? In that case, I am guessing that the premium processing fees that one has paid for EB-2 goes down the drian, right?

Please confirm your views, as I have heard different versions.

Thanks!

I-140s are never downgraded. During LC approval dept may say - looking into job requirements it can be only approved in EB3. of course, you have opportunity to challenge/substantiate your claim for EB2

I got it for missing Medicals for both me and my wife.

I would trust anytime my lawyer than USCIS.

here is what they did.

Wrong address even though filed for AR11 online and received Soft LUD online. This is one year old address and they didn't even put APT# in my old address. God's Grace I received it by mail fowarding without APT#

Didn't update my online status. Still showing Pending and no LUD or soft LUD

I know my lawyer put in G28 and medicals both when he was mailing it as I was the one who finally inspected and mailed the package.

Some other folks also got for Medicals. Looks to me a routine to get rid off pending cases or preadjudicate.

Weird but true in my case

Recently I heard about RFE on medicals for some of my friends. All of them who got RFE on medicals, entered US using AP.

Do you had any travel outside US and used AP to enter?

Hello guys,

First of all thank you very much for your answers in advance.

I am currently on H1-B (valid till 2010) and recently applied for PERM LC. I work for a non-profit organization and the category is EB-2. Nationality: Turkey.

I was planning to go for my GC but my plans have recently changed. I am planning to get married in 2009 Summer (earlier is not possible). I have done my research and found out that if I receive my GC before I get married, it will be very difficult to get my spouse here.

I am expecting to get the LC in about 4 months. Then, most probably I can file I-140 and I-485 concurrently as the visa numbers will be available for my case. However, I am not planning to do it anymore due to the reasons mentioned above.

So, here are my questions:

Now, the new rule tells that LC certification must be used within 180 days. So, can I just file I-140 while single and even though my visa numbers are current for I-485 (Can I seperate I-140 and I-485 and save I-1485 for after marriage - Summer 2009). Does it matter for the purposes of I-140, if I am single - and then add my spouse to I-485 in the US (She will be on H-4 with me here)?

I am not planning to change my job. So, would my I-140 have an expiration date?

Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you!

Do we have to worry about expired I 94 if we are using EAD ?

$1000 is a lot for Premium Processing and VSC is profiting a lot from this. They are running a business for sure....
Its only extensions which are a long time.

You can get SSN is you could provide a proof that it is required for taking an exam or license. You need to show that the process requires and also get a letter from the license issuer that it required to issue a license.

Wow,

at first glance it seems 245(i) is kicking in real hard.

Look at EB-3 numbers for Mexico, Phillipines, Pakistan, South Korea, Guatemala, Brazil, Equador, Peru, Poland, El Salvador, Bolivia, Ecquador,

Compare this with H1-B data and you'll see what I mean.

Also EB-1 seems unusually high at ~37,000
EB-1 is even higher than EB-2

isn't that unusual?

Maybe the numbers were high as they spilled over, but that does not explain why eb2 and eb3, where they must be equal.

It if definitely interesting to note that eb1 India has so much demand.

Did anybody had expierence that they missed a appointment for any reason. What to do next? Go to center and request for reschedule or call national service center?

The only way to go for Premium processing of 140, is to extend H1 beyond 6 yrs..as of current regulations. So in your case, if you are still around 5 yrs of H1. that would be the solid case, to opt for PP of 140 and h1 ext. So that, your case can have few updates.

This is only my understanding.. I am not a lawyer. I know the pain of Backlog center delays, as my case was there since 09/03 till 05/07. I respect your concern and hopefully u guys are taken care.

Thanks




My husband's GC priority date is EB2 Dec 2003, but I-140 is still pending. We applied for I-140 and I-485 in Nov 2007 after labor was stuck in backlog centers for 4 years.

We are done with finger prints few months ago. No updates on I-140 or I-485s after that.

Is it useful if we take Info pass appintment in this case and enquire about our case status?

Why not USCIS offer I-140 premium processing for older priority dates?

Can I-485 be pre-adjudicated even if I-140 is pending?.

Appreciate any information. Thanks.

Fireworks is good too.

When she was 19, I applied for her on behalf of me.
She was my dependent.

Hey guys,

My MTR was approved almost 3 months ago and my attorney received the MTR approval notice.

The decision was that both mine and my wife's I-485's are reopened.

But its been almost 3 months and online status on USCIS website has not changed yet......

Does anyone noticed the same situtation with their MTR approval and no online status change?

Great idea. edited the signature.

Please advice on the usage of A number

I came here as student and OPT before, the OPT had a A number

In my approved I-140 i had a A number, both the numbers are different

While filing the forms for 485/EAD/AP and I-693 ( medical report ) i saw a field for A number

Which number must i put in the field

Regards

His lawyer was right. If he has H1 he can do H1 transfer to another employer and invoke AC21 to continue AOS.

I see, so that means if i have to invoke AC21 i do H1 transfer. But what if the other company don't want to do H1? Then i guess working on EAD is the only option.

Get back on H1b ASAP and do not wait for the Appeal decision. Have them file for a CP H1b approval if not EOS and get a visa and return back on H1b. Your EAD is invalid and you need $$$ to fight a case and remain in status.

Good Luck!

Can we file for another H1 when an appeal is pending for extension? On what basis can I file extension? I believe the underlying labor becomes invalid when I-140 is denied.
