a lot of people who applied during July 2007 are getting RFE on 485, I guess this because of pre processing but 99% of these people who are getting RFE are from NSC. I same only one or two people from TSC who got RFE. From this seems like NSC is pre processing but TSC is not.

you should in fact thank the system for letting you to continue on H1 ..

Thanks a lot Rakson for updating the forum with valuable question and answers with the lawyer. Really appreciate it !!
It cleared lot of my doubts as well but regarding point 'C'

[C. Can new company (B) transfer Priority date even if existing company(A) revokes their I-140?]

I have heard lawyers saying in this forum itself that it can be a problem if the previous employer revokes the approved I-140, irrespective whether it was fraud or not. I don't have the links saved for that discussion, otherwise I would have pasted it.

But are you very sure about point 'C' that what ever ur lawyer said is correct and final ?

Here is the update we have been waiting for

USCIS has announced that on Wed, Jul 18, 2007, from 9:00pm ET until Thur at 1:00am ET, the INFOPASS appointment system will be unavailable for a scheduled upgrade. USCIS customers will see some minor changes to the appointment screens on Thur, Jul 19, 2007. ;)

Thanks. If I read this correctly, it means that everyone is eligible to apply for 485.

Do not worry too much if your sister is innocent. Tell your family and sisters also. Keep faith. Investigation will be honest. Nothing will impact (including GC) if your sister is innocent.


Hi Friends,
This is first time I am posting this topic here. Please excuse me if this is wrong post or question at this time.

Today my sister got a phone call from a Detective saying that she is suspecting on Jewelery theft from a neighborhood. We shocked for getting that type of call. The person who complainted is close to my family. He is also Indian and from same region. Recently he moved from my city. He lost couple of jewelery items this year.

My sister is very good and try to help most of the people nearby. The detective said that investigation is going on for this issue. We are so worrying on this issue.
We know she is genuine and did not do anything but my question is any problem in green card process?.

How to prove my sister is not commited such kind of activity. Please try to help me on this

Thanks

I have a question.

I am EB3 with priority date Oct. 2006. My qualification from India is 3 years (B.Com) plus 1 year of M.com (I didn't complete the 2nd year) plus Intermediate ICWA and Chartered Accountancy. I got here in the USA in December 1999 on H1B and always maintained the status. I completed CPA in 2002 in the USA.

I did some research to port to EB2 (based on Bachelors degree plus 5 years experience) but it seems that USCIS wants 4 years continuous degree to be considered for EB2.

Is that true? Is there anyone in my situation who has done this porting successfully?

Any help will be greatly appreciate.

Thank you,

That is correct. Mixing and matching with certifications doesn't work. Although I don't know about CPA, if it goes towards professional degree.

I am in Austin

Please, the date does not mean what it should mean. Otherwise nobody can explain the fact that this date can go backwards. For TSC, it went back from May 24 to April 10.

No.
The dates do mean something. While it does not mean anyone after the processing date will not be processed, people before these processing dates get a chance to raise a service request due to these processing times. Service centers project dates based on their workload. Lot of people are now eligible for AOS benefits due to the recent namecheck Memo. The EB3 ROW dates have also moved ahead in March Bulletin. There was a huge June , July rush of applications last year. All that may slow down the processing dates. IV has recently raised the issue of processing with USCIS and we are expecting some details be made public in the coming days.

A woman who was traveling alone in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream.

The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, the woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his great fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.

But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the woman. "I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."

The woman smiled, "The joy of giving!"

What if someone returned the initial I94 but not the latest one because we attched the wrong I94 portion, will we need to send the new I94 after extension back to USCIS as well?

In my opinion, you do not really have to. here are a few points (to the best of my knowledge):

1. Surrendering I 94 establishes the day/date when you left US.

2. If you have more than one I 94 (from the same entry), the "white one" will be attached to your passport and others (that came with extension or change of status) will be attached to your approval notices. THEY ALL ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SAME NUMBER. So, technically you have to surrender them all when you leave the country, but if you surrender any one of them, it still establishes the same thing and you do not need to do anything about the rest.

3. If you forgot to return I 94 altogether, keep a record of your leaving US on specific date (copy of boarding passes, passport stamp of entry in another country etc) and you can use that as an evidence of leaving in time (if asked about it in future). OR you can return your I 94 at a laterdate with these copies attached to USCIS.

I have not heard of anyone getting in trouble because of not returning I 94 (please correct me on this if any of you have heard of it) - as long as they did not overstay.

You need to provide more details on bold words from your post. If you really need pointers from IV members.

in the intial offer letter ,they said they are going to pay 58k... and my job title was also different in the offer letter.

As the client is paying very low billing rate .... they said they need to change the LCA showing less salary(less than 58k)

you never know 'huge change in 24 hrs is ' actually a stunt to shut us up from the rally:rolleyes:

agc2005: I am sending in the card and new photos along with the application today to TSC. According to USCIS Service rep, I don't need to attach the fees. Now I need to find the address where to send.

okies, add me please.. thanks!

IVAR congratulations once again to you and your family, enjoy the green and free life to the fullest now.

Teddy,

Thanks for all your support, you are doing a great job by keeping the predictions thread alive, it gives lot of hope to everyone and encourages to hang on. I wish everyone will get there soon.

Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano is going to be DHS Secretary in the Obama Administration. This is a major news for us and it does has an affect on EB community as Gov. Napolitano is a strong proponent of Immigration reform and it is now believed that she has been brought to this position to spearhead the immigration reform in the Obama Administration.

This is a significant development and one is likely to affects us all.

Hmm interesting - I can smell CIR coffee brewing.

EB folks - brace for a bumpy ride

I had applied for labour in 2001 and also applied for i 140 and i 485 in 2002 .My h1 had exausted 7 years and since my i 94 was becoming in valid i was suggested by my lawyer to either stay here in usa without job and wait till i get the reciept notice and ead from uscis .Since financially my situation was very tight with a baby on the way .i decided to leave for india .Now i am here again since last 4 years .When i was in india i asked my lawyer if we can do any thing like counsalar processing etc (here in this case i had paid huge amount to the lawyer,i was paying for my gc process ).the lawyer told me that nothing can be done as he has withdrawn the i 140 .
Now after 2 years i came (or had to come back) to usa .my new employer started the ggc process this year .Since i needed full information of my previous process to complete the forms i contacted old lawyer .he send me the papers and i was so shocked to see that they did not withdraw any thing my i 140 was approved 4 months after i left and my fingerprinting is due since 2002 .I just wish my lawyer had told me the truth .we could have cp or come back .
it took a day for me to overcome the frustration of what had happened .
and now my major concern is 1.that with one case pending ,i dont know how it is going to effect the new case
2.is there any thing i can do to reopen my old case .
Hey Vikramaditya

Feel sorry for your situation. Hope you are able to use your old PD and get the GC soon.

But I would like to point out one mistake on your part that you could have avoided and that was to create a user profile on USCIS website and enabling email feature on all your pending applications. Had you done that, when ur I-140 was approved you would have got an email and could have taken appropriate steps then.

Hope you do that going forward. Even if you have approved applications it is still go to keep it in ur USCIS profile cause you never know when USCIS may open an old file and raise some flags.

All the best.

The damage is already done, so now why would they care about any immigration laws, legal or illegal, I pray everyday, for that one day all the xenophobics jumping the fence, because the way I see it no ILLEGAL drugs will be available unles you live in Detroit , the supply and demand will cause them to start a new visa program, which the xenophobics will support overwhelmingly.

Hi

I used to work to a client in Phx, got an interview request @ a financial firm in New york cleared it and vendor started processin' my H1 transfer. For the interview or for rellocation i wasn't paid anything. But before the start date bcoz of my credit report client rejected my offer.

But the vendor nuthin' in writing was the one who asked me to resign and bcoz of him was on bench for almost 2 1/2 months, now they say somewhere in the contract which says i have to repay all the expenses they spend on me which was close to $5000.

They sent an email sayin' i haven't provided the services to them from the start date indicated on the contract so have to repay them. Will i have to repay them jst bcoz i signed tht piece of the contract but i was rejected by the client, they said they won't try for new jobs i have to search myself as well they haven't paid me anything since they got my H1.

Do i stand any chance if i contact DOL or a lawyer not payin' them.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your responses. We just wanted to keep a plan B active. Both of us are on h1b and from India. After residency, she will have 3 more years on h1b, and I am entering 8th year on h1b, if we don't get GC after all this, we would like to try various options like India, Canada, Australia etc.. and that's why we started enquiring.
