Nayekal, Thanks for your response.

What I meant to say is that my H1 is expiring on Sep 30th 2009 and therefore the earliest date I can apply for extension is April 1st. That's why I asked the question whether I can wait until April 1st for COS from H1 to H4 for my wife even though my wife's employment is ending on March 13th.

Also, is it necessary to have the proof of I-539 receipt by March 13th or few weeks difference is ok? Can you please let me know your experience in this matter.

Thanks...

I can't answer this question.
I believe you should talk to your lawyer about it.

yes and yes

My wife called Air France and France's Atlanta consulate. She will be requiring Airport Transit Visa B.

She will have to mail her original and one copy of passport and I 20 form with $ 86 Visa fee for Airport Transit Visa and an Express mail self address envelope.

Also Air France is going charge $ 50 each for extra bag after first (I received a mail about baggage fee after booking my ticket).

I will never again travel with Air France, British Airway and Lufthance even after geting GC. Today these three airlines lost a customer for life.

These three airlines don't need desi's business.:mad:

I applied on July 16th & got EAD on Sept 24th.
No news on AP & biometrics.
Other coworkers who applied at same time have mixed results - 2 got only fingerprints, 4 got EADs, 1 got EAD & AP. I think it is all random

Guess what you should only travel by First class, If you travel by economy they will catch you..... :))

Jokes aside, You should be ok your H1B extension/stamping has nothing to do with which Airlines you travel, How many stops you will make etc.. Some countries have restrictions if you don't have valid visa during transit. Check with Airlines.

My case was also transferred to CSC. The transfer notice has a different receipt date than the receipt notice. MY case is now transferred back to NSC.
I would like to know if anybody of you have received finger print notice. I have not received it yet.

No FP, or any other communication whatsoever. Just the transfer notice.

hi all,
since it is taking so long for the namechecks to get cleared. what usually happens after we do FP. how is the process initiated.

any response is appreciated

the free ead/ap is based on the $1010 fee for 485..so if u file ur 485 now.. u r pretty much in the non free group

... from Texas :)

Gcneeded,

Lots of people seem to be giving advice, gratis, and pretending as if they were lawyers. I would suggest you consult a lawyer and get information about the exact documents that your parents would need. While even I, as a layman, know that the B-1/B-2 visa is not tied to a sponsor, I also know that mere possession of a valid visa is not sufficient grounds for the entry of a foreigner into the US. A lot rests at the discretion of the USCIS Immigration Officer at the port of entry.

If I were you, I would err on the side of caution. Please consult a lawyer - you can get these questions answered for free by asking the attorney Sonal Mehta Verma, who periodically gives gratis legal advice to IV members. Good luck!

Hi,

If I have a permanent offer after 180 days of Receipt date (I 485)...

Is this offer should be in the same location (state) where my labor got filed ???

Please advice...

Thanks

I like 2,3,and 4. Good job, Anders!

and trust me they will find one....

BTW - Canadian Dollar is doing better that USD...!!!!

If they can find some reason to deny that's fine.In that case they will find another reason to deny "GC approved" cases too!! Let's not be so negative about everything.

Interesting - CNN has Sanjay Gupta, Kiran Chetri etc... all highly skilled Asian Americans and still endorse Loo Doggs

Even i'm in the same situation. My employer does not let me to interact with the attorney and is sad in following up.
He is yet to apply for my PERM.

...


Just a thought.... Don't waste your time with dishonest employers. I have wasted 2 years on my previous employer. I would have my PD 2001. My friend wasted 3 years. Now and me and my friend work for different companies, with very good relationship, having no problem interacting with lawyers or having our employers sign any paper CIS might ask. I had victim mentality until I realized that it's a market economy. You sell, your employer buys. If you don't like to deal with him, start looking for another "buyer". Don't rush. Find a good job, transfer your H1, and start everything afresh - I know it's hard, but that's a way to go. Don't be stuck to your employer for 5 years and later cry "my employer didn't want to apply for I-140, didn't give me latter for I-485", "my lawyer didn't respond to RFE, now I'm in trouble", etc. etc. CIS/DOL will give you enough headache even without employer's "assistance".

And, btw, I have waited 9 months for my PERM to be approved. No RFE, no nothing - just 9 freaking months.

The thing is it is kind of strange that they are working on Sundays to reopen cases.
I hope things work out for good for everyone.

Come on everyone... donate a small percentage of your stimulus package.

Has your namecheck cleared? Mine took 18 months to clear. I am current, too, but no movement on I-485. I am thinking if there is no news by 10/15, I am going to start calling around.

I found this thread on ImmigrationPortal.com forum with suggestions from "ginnu", who appears to be a well-respected, knowledgeable and trusted member on that forum. Has anyone successfully tried this approach?

Thanks Yagw. Appreciate your response. That is the part I am not certain: If they ask for Copies of Tax return?

Also, as per my understanding, You only get RFE when your PD is current (I did not file AC21, when I switched to EAD). And, since EB3 india is stuck on Oct 01 for months now, It will be years before they get to my case. Am I right in my assumption ?


>> Also, as per my understanding, You only get RFE when your PD is current

Incorrect.
RFE and I-485 denial can be issued even when PD is not current.
