I'm a new member on this forum and my case got transferred to MOUNT LAUREL, NJ office.

History:
My 485 was filed in NSC in July'2007.
I have 2 I-140 petitions, and dates are current(Eb2 India).
Code 3 FP done in Dec'2007 and Name check and FBI background checks cleared.
Case got transferred from NSC to local office in April'2009
After about 8 days of transfer to the local office I received Code 1 Finger print notices.

What does that mean? Any one had similar experiences?

Here is the message I got last month.

>if one enters using AP,then works for his current employer , even then, >he/she has to leave and reenter to get h1 status? or only in case of ac21?

Ok, after using AP there are two ways in order to reinstate H1B status.

1) By applying H1b extension after entering on AP
2) going out of country and entering with valid h1b visa stamp.

This is based on what i read in immigration-law.com and again as per murthy office.



can you please explain little more? what is meant by after invoking, is it AC21?

If one enters using AP,then works for his current employer , even then, he/she has to leave and reenter to get h1 status? or only in case of ac21?
thanks in advance.

I thought that Kaiser was only for Western States. Is it there for other places also?

A little peek into Kaiser's website will help you a long way in answering your basic questions...

Here is the info. about their locations,

Here is their website, where you can do "SEARCH" before you ask any kind of basic questions,

if you have your I-140 approved then you should be ok, provided your earned more than the prevailing wage for that year.

Even if you have I-140 approved, if the salary at the time you filed I-485 was less than the prevailing wage, they will examine again the company's ability to pay.

My I-140 was approved in 2006 and back then my salary was enough to prove the company's ability to pay. However, I got a NOID in my I-485 and the officer is asking to prove ability to pay again.

I spoke to a TSC Immigration Information Officer (not customer service). he says they have about 9000 service requests they are looking at. Generally they are not supposed to give status info, but this person does. He is a people-friendly officer.

Hi,

My company filed for I-140 around Dec-2007. During first week of Sep-2008 USCIS case status page was showing "I-140 is approved". After that since third week of Sep-2008 case status page is showing "Documents mailed to applicant".

But neighter my lawyer not my employer had received the approval notice in mail.
How to obtain the duplicate or copy of this approved I-140? What form need to be submitted? where? and how much time it takes?

Thanks,

Even an entry level lawyer knows how to request\obtain a document that USCIS has sent but is not received. I suspect they are not telling the truth because they don't want to give you a copy.

If the lawyer simply calls USCIS 800 number on the I-140 receipt notice and provides relevent information they would at least send a COPY if not original or duplicate.

eeeee thats painful. Happend so many times. It is like Lotto but at the end we say Samay se pehle or Bhagya se adhik kuch nahi milta (before time and more than your destiny you don't get anything)

Screw Murthy !!! I have never seen him picking up any good news.
Kumar, you better get ready face two law suites from Sheila Murthy. First for misrepresentig her as a Man and second for sexual harrasment. You are in big trouble boy!!!

I checked the site, couldn't find this info any more, probably its got archived. Thanks for your efforts in letting the group know.

Its been over 3 weeks since my wife have H4 interview and the passport is still under "admin processing". This week her AP came and I have mailed it to her and now we want to get the passport back and travel on AP.

Now if anyone knows or done the process of getting the passport back from Delhi Consulate, can they please explain?

Thx

She cant use her AP to reenter as her AP was approved when she was out of the country. So no use getting the passport back , the processof getting her passport back is wiritng to them that you are withdrawing your visa application but i would suggest not to do that as in your case AP would not her help for re enry.

i APPLIED ON 7th July...
NO news

I applied for EAD renewal at TSC on June 24 with a pending EB3 I485 pending at NSC. I still have not got an approval for EAD renewal!

Is anyone else in the same boat got their EAD approved?
Did I send my application to the wrong service center, I live in North Carolina?

I know several other people that got their EAD renewal application approved at TSC and these people applied about a month later than me!!!

Please advise :confused:

I have included the experience letter to my I-140 but the USCIS doesn't like the content of it hence the RFE. How can I overcome this? I got the letter when I left the company 10 years ago . I came to the US after that. the letter was very broad not specific duties. it was signed using letter head by my manager. I thought it was OK. but apparently not.

Problem is the company is no longer in business. I am planning to have a letter from a coworker who now live in Canada instead and should it be notarized ? is one letter enough for RFE? Does it mean my ex co-worker should bring the letter to a lawyer in Canada and have it notarized? or can my lawyer send a notarized letter and ask him to sign?

do I have to mentioned that the company is no longer in business in the letter?should I write the letter my self or have my lawyer do it for me?

anybody has a sample letter for RFE experience letter?


THanks....
I need help.....

Calgirl,

In my case, i was told to wait for 90 days from the date EAD was filed. USCIS did not help me. So After more than 90 days. i called Senator office. Within a week or so they sent me a letter saying that they have contacted the TSC office and they will let me know when they hear from them.
Then in about another month, they sent me letter, which in turn had a reply from TSC office, saying that my application is pending due to background check (something like that).
So then i came to know what is wrong with my application. Mind it, i am talking about my EAD, 485 is still out of picture. Now every senator has an Immigration department and the person in that dpt follows-up with individual cases. Even TSC offices take some time to respond to Senator office's email. But atleast they have to respond back. If we call, they just give us a hard time.

i'll believe it when i see it. too much talk no action. it's too good to be true, isn't it? maybe our childrens' children will benefit from it.

I think, similar to DOL backlog elimination centers, they will pull all the pending
cases and put them into a new system. The data entry for such an excercise will take 2 years. Afterwards the real processing will start.

Only for the first time it is hard for you. Second time it becomes very easy.

There are many here right from PD 2003, have no parents, no brothers, no sisters, no relatives and no friends back home eventhough they still live there.

Our only relative/friend/brother/sister is USCIS nowadays, it decides what we need to do when we wake up everyday!

Eventually people may think of naming their kids like "USCIS", "DOS", "EAD", "AP" etc.

:D

Exactly the same thing happed to me a few years ago while hiking in the adirondacks, upstate NY. If you are within 100 miles of the border the "border patrol police" has the authority to perform immigration checke on you. This is in contrast to local/state police who under-law, cannot ask you for your immigration documents. There is always patrolling on I87 near the border.
While my status was legal, my records were not up to date in one of their data bases. I was questioned on my status. The officers were stern but cooperative and eventually let me go.
I was asked to keep originals of my travel documents all the time. At the least, keep phtocopies in the car if you are nearing the international broder and keep the phone number of your attorney handy.

Thank You.People who are just browsing the forum..please come forward..it is not only our issue but it is EVERYONE'S issue..if we don't act now..we will have no time to act in future.

CIS have been targeting reducing processing times for applications including I-485 (for I-485 they want it to be <180 days). Which they are doing, based on their definition of pending (non retrogressed approvable application). They can easily achieve this, give retrogressed countries/categories bare minimum and they process all other applications as quickly as possible. Which explains all of the following..

EB3 made unavailable (they have used all the visa numbers)
EB2-India move way back (they have used all the visa numbers)
EB1 and EB2 quick approvals (for all current categories) average down to 200 days


There were around 3000 visas for EB2-1 and EB3-I , considering 1.2 dependent this means GC for no more than 1400 families in each category. The math is simple getting that many applications processed in first 6-8 months was not difficult.

To add to the woes we have following, which add to the problem, but are not the primary problem.

Labor substitution
EB3-EB2 jumps
Very old name-check cases


Primary problem is 7% country cap, they way things are if CIS gets enough cases in EB1 and EB2 (none retrogressed categories), then they will be reluctant to issue GC to EB2-I and EB3-I above the minimum (7% quota), since that do not count in their definition of pending cases.
