This meeting is online and is for an hour.

You might want to get a I-94 till : 4/30/2010.

Just ensure that when you are entering US you get a new I94..

For any reasonable immigration reform to pass, politicians need an urgency to act. That urgency comes only from an imminent threat to their sitting offices - beyond party lines.

People who are stuck in the immigration process should do a better job in uniting and in working with registered voters so that the issue of immigration reform is a concern for any incumbent elected official.

No one approach is perfect but undocumented workers do a better job in connecting with their community and letting their voices heard than so called "skilled immigrant" community. Our silence makes CIR amnesty and will be dead on arrival.

If you have a viable option: go for it.

Here is the math:
PERM: 1 year
I 140: 3 weeks with PP and 2-3 months without
I 485: 2 months

So you can potentially get your GC in lest than 15 months.

EB3 is not very predictable as many of the old cases are either through CP or at local offices (not accounted for in USCIS statistics). It may become current in above time frame; but if you do have a good option of going for EB2, it will be certain. So if I were to be you, I would seriously consider it.

Good Luck.

I filed my LC using regular process in EB3 category in Dec. 2003 and then LC was thrown to backlog center and pending there for ever. then I filed another LC using PERM in EB2 category in Dec. 2006 and got it approved in Jan. 2007, then filed I140 in Feb. 2007. Now my lawyer told me my EB3 case got recruitment instruction, but our company's policy doesn't allow same person to file two I140 application. Due to I already start my EB2 I-140 application, I can not continue my EB3 case, means I will have to withdraw it (if I have not file EB2 I-140 yet, I can continue my EB3 LC, but still need to decide which one I will pursue when file I-140 for either of them later on). I was planning to get two I140 approved and then carry over my earlier PD to file EB2 485. but now things get blocked by company's policy, which even prohibited me from paying by myself. Sign! Would you guys give me any good idea to see if I have way to get my EB3 case moving forward? thank you in advance.


If you want to keep EB3 PD, the best option in your case is withdraw your EB2 140 and ask your company to file EB3 140, once it is approved, make sure you get a copy of approved I140. Find another company who is willing to do EB2 GC,file Labour. Upon approval of that Labour file EB2 140 requesting recapturing of EB3 PD. To be on safe side do not join the new company until you get Eb2 140 approved and join later at your conveniance.

Can I use AVR even if I am on my 8th year of H1B (because of an approved I140, waiting for I485 to become current)?

I am in the same boat here. It took a huge effort to convince new company to process H1 and now their attorney is saying they can not file H1 unless I140 and LC copies are provided. My current company does not provide those documents.

I140 approval is more than 180 days. Please help guys

Thanks

HI,

My company filed my Perm on Jun 4th 08 but it is not yet approved. My H1B is in its 6th year and will end in July 09. I was wondering if I would get an extension , even if my Perm gets denied for some reason.

I just want to prepare for the worst case. Can any one please help with some information.

What are my options to get a H1B extension.

Thank you,

If your PERM is pending when the time comes for H1 extension, you can apply for a 1 year 7th year H1 extension, based of pending Labor and waiting more then 365 days.

If you PERM is denied. And you have neared the time of expiry of current H1, then its not possible to apply for H1 7th year extension. Because there is no grounds for extension.

Options:
1)Change the status from H1 to F1 or B1, until the time your PERM is approved, then come back to H1.
2) Go to your home country and return after 365, but you would be subjected to quota.

Btw, NBC might not do anything with it at all, but NSC on the other hand might..

PS: I know its a typo, so just kidding here..
Thanks for the info..! btw, what about my first question ..When do the 90 days wait start counting? NBC received my app on July 2nd.. Does it mean it's 90 days after July 2nd??

tnx.

if u like to pay for it, there's already an option for u: EB5. price tag: $500K minimum!

I have a few questions on using AP-

1. I have a valid AP till Jan. 04, 2009. I have applied for a new AP in Sept. last week. Can I travel on my current AP which is valid till Jan. 04, 2009 or will I have any problems with I-485, since I cannot travel on current AP, because I have applied for a new one.

2. Next, suppose I travel on my valid AP (the one till Jan. 04, 2009) in November first week and return on Dec. 10, 2008, what date will I get I-84 till? Will I get it till Dec. 09, 2009 or till Jan. 04, 2008. Ofcourse, the officer will stamp 'Parolee' on I-94, but till what date?


3. Have anyone had any bad experience, when boarding airlines at Indian airports, particularly Mumbai- Do they understand what AP documentation is, in lieu of the normal visa on passport?

Please let me know. Thanks in advance.


Renew you AP before Feb 25, 2009. You are usually paroled upto an year from the date of entry.

Yes you can file for AP your self, its as easy as filling out the form.

The stamps having nothing to do with the renewal.

Oh actually I was working with Spector so that we can have markup out asap. Just Kidding. Got busy with work.

Any way fox please wake up now. It's a show time. We have 27 days left. We all have only one option and that is to "Kill Retrogression virus". There will be no negotiation on that.

Cheers

yes, interesting concept. teh characters are ok, but you gotta work a bit more on the txt...

Congrats bluez25!

Guys,

I got my approval today after the CP appointment. I am still waiting for my passports though. I will update you guys with details once I receive my passports.

I-485 pending with PD June 07 & valid EAD
Is it possible to apply for FAFSA for student aid as they require Green Card or US citizenship?
I see on FAFSA website one catagory as eligible non-citizens which includes applicants with I-94 & with atleast 1 yr parole validity.
Is this the same parole as I-131?

No problem , you will get the Canadian Visa , while coming back to US , you have to show your AP

I have finished my 6 years quota of H1B and right now I am on TN visa (I am Canadian). Since I started the green card process a little late, I still need more time to finish the green card process. So, my question is, is there any way I can go back to H1B visa again once my TN visa expires. I can not renew my TN because I have applied already for I-140 and that shows my intent to immigrate to US.

Thanks

Theo

Was your I-140 petition filed when you changed your status from H-1B to TN? In my opinion, it is the I-140 petition that discloses immigration intent. However, as the previous poster mentioned, your employer can extend H-1B after the I-140 approval. Till then I think you have to continue on TN status.

I have few questions on filling AP document.

1) What could be the best reason to write on 131 document. USCIS says it should be family emergency or business. I am going on family visit. If i write "Family visit" will it be a problem ie RFE from USCIS saying that reason for travel is not good or something else.

2) I live in Phoenix, Arizona. Should i send 131 to texas service center or california. All my 485 & 140 were with TSC. Coz when i goes to USCIS website, Arizona state is not covered by TSC.

Please reply.

Thanks in advance

what are we waiting for. for Chinese bhai to win the case and take EB3-I unused visas ? lets join and file another India EB3-I lawsuit. best way to be heard. ........squirrel.......

Be fast u only got a month ....

Get in touch with a good attorney, call shusterman.com and get an hour of consultation charges for u.

Tell him the situation, give him the two options. He will point you in the right direction. Remember July is the only month you have a chance. August and retrogress can kick in for Indians.

Let me add one more option to the above 2. Talk to your employers thru whom you got the approved I-140 and ask them to allow you file the I-485 since GC is for future employment u don't have to be working for them for filing I-485 now once 6 months are over with the 485 filed you can port it to ur current employer. Email me if u have questions dr_irshad2001@yahoo.com

Good luck & hurry ...
