I am a July 23rd filer with ND of Sept 24th....no LUDs but RFE last year.....I know of ppl who got GCs with no LUDs to their records...so it is anybody's guess.

I have a WAC no. for TSC so I am screwed further....TSC overflowed my case to CSC and then back to TSC....ppl like me are the worst affected....but since I got an RFE last year they must have opened my file and why would they open my I-485 if they are following ND which i not current even now...

It is all a big mess...god only knows....USCIS is a black box we only know what goes inside that box...what comes out is a lottery....satta...

She need to have AP in hand before leaving the country. I would suggest to take an INFOPASS and go the local office tell them the situation, they should be able to give you the AP there.

Here is the link to make an appointment for INFOPASS

Another option is talk to your Congressman.

Goodluck

Thank you. I will give it a try.

so my question is, AP is needs be to on hand and how do they know that she has it on hand since it was approved and sent on Apr 8th according to the email.

We can even say yes she had it but lost it over there so i mail her the document. right?

Don't we have a popular Beedi( a type of cigarette ) in India with the image of Lord Ganesh on its cover . It is very very popular beedi brand in Karnataka . Is this allowed , I never saw any backlash against this in India itself . Strange that this kind of backlash happens more in the west than India.

Just some bitter facts , I do not deserve a reds for this :D

Dont think so. If you have tech skills, might want to try your luck with H1-B circus.

This is the most hopeless of all the articles I have seen on this issue. It has no meaning, no arguments, nothing new to tell or share and it doesn't even cover any issue. The article does not cover the issue properly making mockery of the entire issue. simply hopeless journalism :eek:

Hi,
My I140 got rejected with reason "Education Equivalency" not once but twice, because I just have 3 years of Bachelor's degree (BSc Comp Science) and one year of diploma in computer science.
So my employer reappealed it, now the status of my I-140 is showing as "Sent to AAO" would like to know if there are any chance's of getting I140 approved? Did anyone had this kind of issue. Please reply!
Thank you.

Just call your local AAA office and they will tell you everything.. Mostly they take photo in main local office.

If you are plus member you get free 8 photos. I guess for regular member you will 6.



Can you detail how to get the photos taken from AAA?

Where do you need to go for the pics taken?

:confused:Hi all,

I have a situation,
I joined employer A and substituted labor with 2004 priority date. And it has been approved already, my understanding is labor substitution is nothing but filing I 140 but with some one else labor.

My current situation is, I got a perm job and have approached company attorney and she saying / asking, since this is labor substitution case, so, I need to have letter from employer �A� saying that labor used for me was initially filed for person X and he later left the company. Hence that has been used for me.
This is required to prove that there is no fraud happened while filing my case.

As you all know, in this current situation, I can not go back and ask employer �A� about that letter.

Any suggestions etc please provide.


Just to remember
REQUEST A SET OF COPIES WHEN EVER ATTORNEY FILING / FOLLOW UP ANY RFE etc FOR YOU. IRRESPECTIVE WHETHER YOU PAY OR COMPLANY PAYS GC FEES

Thanks,

Congrats. Very long wait. I am happy for you. Seems USCIS is trying to close all old applications. That is good sign for all long wait memebers

The online AR11 form is giving 2 options . which one should we choose?

Only the first option (for US citizen) is giving options for pending cases!!!!

* Yes, this change of address is for a US Citizen
* No, this change of address is not for a US Citizen

Thanks

I work as a consultant for one of the big 5 firms implementing SAP applications. What is the job code referenced for this job? I want to know the job category it falls under as per the Dictionary of Occupation Title or the O*Net published by DOL. My company did not provide me this information but any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone in advance,

I heard companies like TCS Wipro HCL (all desi outsourcing firms) have now started to again apply for H1B instead of L1...are they doing green cards too?

Yes, some of them do.
And depending on your luck/contacts/influence you might even extract an EB-1A out of them and get your GC in 6-9 months.

Hi,
How much time did they give you for responding to the RFE?
Also any one has a sample of the affidavit?

Thanks


I DID NOT GET rfe BECAUSE i have submitted all the documents upfront along with 485 application. For affadavit format.. go to this link..and see formats ...

Birth Certificate Unavailable / Affidavit for I-485 - ImmigrationPortal Forums (http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?t=144485)

I would advise you to minimise the risk rather than money. May be you can start the GC for future employment. It will take time to do the PERM process and in the mean time you can complete your current project also.

1. Start the H1 transfer and GC process now itself.
2. Stay with your current employer until the project is over.
3. Take the money and join the new company at end of six month if everything goes smooth.

By doing this you get the money and also minimise the risk with new employer. But you need to get the consultant who is ready to do this.

I donated 50$ recently. It is nothing compared to what others did but it is a start

Nice idea, but here is what I think...

Whats the point of donating after you get your Green card? Donate now in place of later and you can benefit from your own donation...and IV can get that money sooner :)

In a bitter irony,MIT Admission dean resigned today after admitting that she had put fake degrees in her resume.
http://www.thebostonchannel.com/education/13199999/detail.html

Contrast this with H1-B Visa applicants.If some one on H1-B visa were to change jobs, they need to furnish following documents
1.W-2 for last year
2. Two latest paystubs
3. Copies of all educational degrees held.
In addition,there will be a background check from a professional agency,which will actually call -
-All previous employer mentioned in resume
-Checks with all educational institutes mentioned in resume
-Call up references
-Criminal Check.
Now, whom will you hire next time? A Green Card job applicant just supplies a SSN,and a simple criminal check is run against them.They can fake all the degrees and work experience they want.There is no way to verify last salary held by a citizen/GC applicant. Poor H1-B visa holder can not even fake this simple thing.


What makes you say they can not check your previous salary if you hold GC/Citizenship. This does not seem right.

Actually it depends upon company to company how much background check they do and not on your visa status.

I just got me H1B approval Notice and copy of I-129 petition. There is nothing wrong with approval but I notice few things and have few concerns/questions to the group if some one had similar experience in the past:
1. Passport number was not correctly typed in form I-129 (however copies passport were sent along with the forms by immigration dept)
2. My Alien number does not show up in 797A approval notice as I have pending 485.
3. The I-94# on passport card does not match with the one on new approval notice.

Now My questions is :

Do I need to get this passport#(1) typo fixed now or its ok?

Is it ok not have A# updated in H1B Approval Notice? My wife's H4 have her A#.
Do I need to get my I-94# matched with the one I had in my previous notice and A/D card stapled in passport?

All this happened due to mistakes commited by our Immigration/attorney.Now she is not ready to listen and asks me to call customer service as she thinks its not her problem.

Any suggestions/experience are apreciated.

Thanks

PD Sept 2004
I-485 pending
I-140 pending
EAD pending
AP approved

So it means that if I-140 petition is filed on my behalf, if I renew my non-immigrant visa, it would be denied?

It COULD be denied or could be approved. The law is vague and consular officers have full right to approve or deny anything, they are not USCIS employees, and even US president can't order them.

I have played DV lottery for many years (never won as you can guess). Embassy instructed that it is immigrant intent and we should have marked "yes". So, I marked "yes" - and got my B1 without any problem.

The I-94 is the form you filled out on the plane and had stamped at the port of entry. It should be attached to your passport on the visa page. It will be on the front of the I-94.

Well, as I suspected, the I-94 was expired a month before the I-485 was filed for my wife. So, do you think that would be a problem?

Hi,

I and my wife got AP's issued on Feb 4th 2008 with Validity till Feb 03 2008. We went to India and I returned on March 23rd and my Wife on April 20th, so at the port of entry we entered thru AP. On I-94 and AP officer stamped "Paroled till March 22 2009" for me and "Paroled till April 19th 2009" to my wife.
Now my question is: my wife wants to visit India soon in Feb 1st week and return before April 1st week, does she need to apply for a new AP or can she use the existing AP at the POE? Would there be any issues? Please suggest.
Also, In case if she stays for long, can I apply for a new AP for her when she is in India?

Thanks in Advance.
AJ

Think of AP as a visa (like the H1B) - it is only a document that allows you to "apply" for permission to the US at the POE. The date that your wife returns, the AP should be valid. If her return is in April, her current AP would have expired and she won't be able to use that document to the enter the US.
And the applicant needs to be in the US when the AP extension is filed. If that is the document your wife is relying on to return to the US (meaning she doesn't have a valid H or L visa stamp in her passport) she needs to get that in hand BEFORE she leaves for India - hence the term "Advance" Parole.

Now, if she has an H or L visa in her passport that is valid beyond her return date, then she won't have any trouble returning to the US.

murthy.com has a good article on this exact point this week...check that out too for further clarification.
