as folks mentioned above it is totally ok to not renew AP...do it if u travellin in the next few months...

on a side note...do people here know the average time it is takin to renew AP nowdays....TSC......paper and/or electronic..?

I had put in EAD renewal at TSC and got the approved EAD in hand within a month ...that was really good speed...anyone has info on AP approval timelines???

My AP got approved in about a month. I applied some time between 7-10 of last month and I got it on 10th of this month.

Law abiding? I beg to differ. Application for asylum goes to court only if the petitioner spent more than one year illegally in the US.

That does not change the fact that the immigration system is broken, I just want to point out that what is considered to be "law abiding" or "law breaker" is aften very-very relative. We are all in the same boat.

How many visas are there for India in a year in EB3, EB2 and EB1?


YEAR **** EB1 ****** EB2 ****** EB3 **** Total(EB)



2000 *** 2,306 ***** 7,233 ***** 5,360 *** 15,381
2001 *** 3,543 **** 21,355 **** 16,405 *** 41,720
2002 *** 2,820 **** 21,310 **** 17,428 *** 41,919
2003 *** 1,266 ***** 8,536 ****10,680 *** 20,818 :confused:
2004 *** 2,998 **** 16,262 **** 19,962 *** 39,496
2005 *** 6,336 **** 16,687 **** 23,399 *** 47,160 :)

It all depends upon the school. You just need to show them that your 485 is pending and you have AP with you, you have used it or not does not matter. But the most important thing is to convince the school. One of the senior members, had posted their own experience and it has helped me a lot to get the FAFSA approved for my spouse. Let me know if you have any questions. I will also try to find that thread.

Hope this documents appears in the sites run by the "anti-employment based immigrants" supporters.

Good Every one!

;'( I am already out

can anybody help me here?

Are you for real? USCIS has nothing to do with LCA amendment. That should be DOL (Department of Labor).

One time one IO told me once you file your 485 or any application means USCIS is working on your case. You have to wait until they mail a decission. (what are we going to do though :p)

Here under review means same above meaning. Since your PD is not current. Even though they are working on your case doesn't mean any thing. :p

Good luck though. (we are seeing on forums that people are getting GCs without PD's are current.) :mad:

Cris,

I just called teh number and was able to talk to the officer.. he said the case under review.. means.. Any idea.

Thanks again.

My Priority date is Feb 1st 2006. I got my 140 approved some time in May 2006 and Here I am today..

Congratulations. !!!

my pd is close to yours. see my signature. good luck

Checklaw,

By Law, you must apply for an intended travel.

However it has been routine practice to get AP renewed because if there is an emergency and on your return if your GC is approved AP is handy.

I am July 2007 filer. I applied in 2007. Did not apply in 2008 (had a valid h1b visa stamped in Passport which expires in Sep 2009) and re applied in 2009. No Issues.

Thanks

I have observed that typically after becoming great, have a tendency to hide his/her EB3 roots. I mean, who'll hire you as a CEO or rocket scientist if they knew you used to be an EB3.

Obama's father was a Kenyan EB3, but Obama insists his father was an EB2. The labor certification that the white house has put out for Barack Obama is clearly a fake.

It's sad but true, America still judges you not by the content of your character but the color of your labor certification.

I propose that EB3s append "EB3" to their name (like Ganesh Teesravarg ME(Comp Sci.), EB3) so that they get more visibility, and ppl realize they live among us, and with some help can actually be productive members of society.

There are hundreds of eb3s including me, waiting for last several years, to do the work that all the other waiting eb3s would be proud of, but sadly enough, we have not yet got the greeeeeeeeeeeeeen caard :D

BTW, what does OP stand for?

OP: Original Poster

Please anyone.........help me.

I couldn't find any other thread in this forum discussing the same problem as mine. Please let me know if it has been discussed already.

Thank you very much.
You dont have to get it stamped if you are returning before your current stamping expires. However it is better to get stamping if you are planning travel after your current stamping expires.

My question is can the salary go down ? and what are the risks?. I think salary increase is not an issue. What about salary decrease?

Thanks

I think the same. As my latest passport shows no visa except the AP entry stamp, they are confused how did I travel to India earlier. My wife explained them that I used AP, but they still believe that a visa page is missing in the supporting docs. So they have retained the passport and asked to submit 'current copy of husband's visa'. Now I am going to write a personal letter explaining the same and attaching the original I-797 which has my I-94.

Did you have your wife take copies of all pages from your passport. If not, I suggest you send them along with the letter. Also attach copy of your AP.

I guess all these options are possible as long as you maintain your H-1B.

You are faking!!!

Here are the reasons...

1) First up there is no candidate name on the LCA. When H-1B is filed, a location specific LCA is sent along with the application/ petition.

2) On subsequent change of location, a location specific LCA is taken out and kept for office records (after displaying on the office notice boards) and copy is given to you. This LCA never has any name(s) on it. A single LCA can be taken for 10 positions. This LCA is never sent to USCIS. USCIS does not keep track of an individual's projects/ clients after the initial approval of H-1B (unless they make a site visit to your employers office and go through each and every work orders and ascertain them against existing valid LCAs, which is very unlikely considering the timeline you are quoting).

3) Yes it is a violation if an LCA is not pulled out for the new location. But that is the problem of the employer not yours and it is highly unlikely the individual will be penalized even if USCIS were to find out the violation after making a site visit.

4) If you suddenly got a nightmare, please state that in your post rather than stating it as a fact. Honest nightmares will still be discussed on this forum.

So Stop faking!!!

Thank you sir for finally putting into words what I always suspected. This is shit to attract attention to their site. That was the first place this nonsense came up and just watch how active that thread is . Everywhere else the thread dies quickly.

Other signs these threads are bull. They either give too much info (All tax returns info for the past 10 years) or too little (I got a one line RFE). Secondly look at the id of this guy "Mishras" - How many S Mishra's got this RFE. Where is the effing anonimity. Just a bunch of amateurs trying too hard to make up believe they are authentic.

The other anti's I see here posing as good guys
"GCFORMEORNOT" - Always digging up fear mongering threads to distract from our main goal
"EASTINDIA" - Real first class asshole posing as someone who is a crusader of playing by the rules.
Another reason I feel the above too are rouge is because they change their RED - GREEN status like the markets of 2008. One day they are bright red and the next day they are bright green. Basically they have teamed up each other or maybe other anti's to get the greens just to look authentic.
May those who indulge in this classless activity burn in effing hell.

I dont think USCIS will again match your education with labor now at 485 stage in normal circumstances unless there is some fraud. 485 is more about your name check and fingerprint check along with if you were ever out of status. The only thing they can ask again is a new employment offer letter.

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?

Hi frnds,
