Mike Tyson Tattoos

Very nice Michael.....I would be interested in knowing the shooting parameters of these shots, what lenses used, etc. Also, your lighting set-up.

You should have it by end of the week or before middle of next week.

About 5 to 7 days- Usually this is what I noticed

LUD (Usually hard) - that says "we have sent letter......" - on that day the mail is prepared and sent to mail room.

It could be mailed out on that day or the next day.

domestic mail takes 3 days + 1 day buffer

Post office may deliver it next day +1

so 5 days min or 7 days max

I came to know about my interview from the embassy web site and they send us pakage 4 also. Then we informed them by mail asking to postpond for 3 month. They confirmed the same. I am in India embassy is in New Delhi

Jeny: I believe you are referring to an interview for Consular Processing; not Adjustment of Status, correct?

Thanks,
Jayant

Hi,

I send my AINP Application package on 18th March (H1-B worker stream) and was received by the AINP on 20th March. However I have not received any confirmation or a file number yet since it takes 2 months. Any idea if my application will be considered according to the current policies or according to the new changes that are coming up on April 15th?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

GC is not for you to apply it is based on the employer. Many employers wait to file in the 5th year so you do not leave the company. Also every time your job changes within the company (which is also not in your hand) your employer will re-file labor. So you could have been here like me for 9 years with a priority date on May 2005 and bc of change in job position it will become Dec 2007 and never get your green card.

I understand if someone was stuck in BEC, we all got s****ed with that.
But why given that the H1B is only intended to be for a maximum of 6 years would anyone leave it until the last year to apply.

PERM has been around for a while now, and anyone approaching 6 years should have already filed PERM or be ready to leave after year 6.

Anyone?

If you are subject to the two-year home residence requirement, you cannot be granted H-1 status until a 212(e) waiver is granted. However, your employer can file an H-1 petition for you now. Once the petition is approved, AND the waiver is granted, you can either file with USCIS for a change of status, or you can apply for an H-1 visa abroad.

I filed my 485 in August and got married later and my wife is on H4 right now. I'm on H1 as of now. I'm not using my EAD right now, so that my wife can maintain her H4 status. I'm planning her F1 processing from H4, so that once she is on F1 officially, I want to use EAD to change employers.

Is there any risk involved here and if so, please let me know

Thanks in Advance

You should be ok to re-enter when you have a valid AP (and valid visa/EAD if they ask) even though if you changed the jobs. I think it is risky though. We never know when will the rules change so its safe to file AC21. I did file AC21 but they never opened my AC21 file. They sent an RFE to my old employer(internal attorney) for employer letter after 1year of filing AC21. I had couple of LUDs so I thought they were for AC21 but not really. So strange things may happen. Some officers at port of entry may be too curious about these issues though if you have valid APs. They shouldnot deny the entry but you may have to go through the waiting. So my suggestion is do not delay AC21.

All,

I have filled I-485 in 2007, PD is June 2006, EB2. I went to India and came back using my AP on 07/16/2008. I was working for the same company when I came back. I have changed my employer in April, and haven't filled for AC21 yet.

Can you please help me with following question?
My Question is: Will it be Okay to travel using Advance Parole after changing employer and not filled AC21? If anyone traveled like this, Can you please let me know what documents do I need to take with me?

My apologies if the post was out of context. Didn't want to open yet another thread here.

I have only one E-mail id - lobbyday@immigrationvoice.com - which is being used by everyone to send their details for setting up the meetings. I don't have any other E-mail ids with me [ except the volunteer who contacted me]. Which one should I use? Lobbyday@IV or the volunteers E-mail id?


Could we just keep the focus of this thread to encourage more members to send the information required to setup the meetings on Sept 17th? Your comments may be important and you may have a valid concern, but mixing all the information and individual meeting view-points is going to create a chaos.

Walking_dude,

If you have any question, could you please simply send an email? Volunteers working on this effort are working day in and day out and they are not going to come to this thread to read your post and to answer your question. Your post is relevant, but somewhere else. It is not helping what we are trying to do on this thread. You apparently have the documents so that means you know which email to write your comments/concerns.

Hope you understand what we are trying to say.

@linuxra: Did you get an RFE on your I485??

This exact issue is clearly discussed by Mathew Q&A section at www.immigration-law.com. He clearly says you are responsible for USCIS mistake if you did not bring that mistake to their notice. You have to get it corrected for one year ASAP and should contact the attorney at the earliest to do this.

YOU WILL BE OUT OF STATUS AFTER ONE YEAR EVEN IF YOU HAVE THREE YEAR EXTN IF USCIS DECIDES TO DO SO.

I am in the same situation currently.

My company's attorneys believe that mine is not an AC21 case because I am going from Software Engineer (per PERM) to Lead Software Engineer, with substantial pay hike.

They are sending me papers for H-1B amendment and extension only (extension because my H-1B will expire soon).

Why is there a need to invoke AC21 in your case? Is there substantial change in responsibilities?

I think there will have to AC21 invoked as there is change in the job location. Secondly I will be going from Senior Assurance Associate to Assurance Manager. There will be additional responsibilities from what I already have.

I hope this H1B amendment will not impede in anyway the GC process. Would it? Thanks!

Can somebody let me know

I have nothing against UN and I really appreciate him for helping many guys and is numerous post on immigration portal (I wonder how he has so much time/energy to do so).

However, one needs to understand you need to help yourself by helping IV and I don't see this happening, we just have too many free riders, who are praying some how things will turns out in thier favour.

hey Waiting Game,

the consulate in mumbai is in a very expensive area called 'breach candy' its like the beverly hills in CA.

however, u may get decent stay outside 'Dadar' or 'bombay central' railway station. these are close to the consulate but since u have a morning hour commute towards downtown mumbai, it will take at least 30-45 minutes. so give urself adequate time. avoid 'bandra', churchgate, grant road areas.

if u just need to spend the nite, u can spend it on the airport.

let know if any questions and wish u all the best.

Here's my exact situation:

- My employer is company A
- I am assigned by Company A to Company B (corp-to-corp)
- Company B assigned me to Client X

- I want to move to Company Z
- Company Z would assign me to the same Client X

My non-compete clause says something like... Employee(I) cannot work to client of Company A within 1 year of leaving Company A

Now, is client X considered as client of company A? I'm thinking that company B is the client of company A. Thus, it should be okay if I move to company Z and be assigned to client X.

Any thoughts?

It depends on how big the company is. Companies like Bearingpoint, Accenture will take them seriously some times. If this is just yet another staffing firm, they are not going to waste their money for a lawyer and time on you. As others said, these contract papers have no value. (unless they spent like 10K on training you outside of the company).

Sensenbrenner is not going to be convinced by anyone. He is going to be as tough to crack as Tancredo.

Namecheck is done on everyone applying for any US visa at consulate. There is a database which i think called a lookout system and if you get a hit than you will go through further checks. It happened in 2004 and she has to pay $85 fee give full fingerprints at Delhi consulate and took about 6 weeks to get cleared.

vxg,

How come they are doing namechecks on women? That is supposed to only for male from 17-45 years of age? Can you please clarify? what is namecheck or TechnologyAlertList (this is the only check they can likely do on women as per my understaning).

What that namecheck on YOU or on your wife?

Thanks.

ohh is this really true? can u specify a source for this ?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am the same boat. My wife got her card wheras I got a response to the SR we raised that my card was sent the same day as my 485 approval notice and it might been lost in mail. I was asked to file I-90. I called customer service several times and talked to 2nd level IO and all suggested to file I-90. I took infopass but gave a shot again by talking to 2nd level IO who went over my case and said that my card was never created so she raised a SR.

My previous SR was raised by officer at the local uscis office who mentioned non delivery of PR cards which i don't think is the correct request. Now I have to pray and hope they create the card or have to file I-90
