I am Chinese. I am bad dancer. But I like the music and the spirit in this thread. Bring it on, ha ha.

Thanks for your suggestions. I think I will try another office.

We have excellent scores and me and my wife would be both on mortgage.

1. Can USCIS deny 485 solely due to lack of BC/NABC ? if yes then What are the chances of denial ? No chance - i did for me and got GC .

2. If the officer does not think that consulate BC is enough, will they deny 485 or issue another RFE? consulate BC is NOT enough .

3. Do you know anyone whose 485 was denied simply for no BC/NABC reason?

NO

4. My 485 was (wrongfully) denied few months ago when my ex revoked the approved I-140, could this affect the future processing of the case -vely (i hope not) ? no

Hello, since this is a thread on Canadian PR - I wanted to know if anyone had been through a similar situation.

I got my Canadian PR about a year ago. I went thru the landing process and obtained the PR cards from Toronto about a year back. After that I returned to the US - I work on a H1B here. I have not been to Canada since I got my PR. I need to go to Vancover to get my H1B stamping done. I intend to be in Canada for no more than 2/3 working days and return to the US.

My questions are:

- Will the Canadian immigration officers ask why I am making the trip to Canada?
- Can they revoke the PR status if they deem that I am making the trip solely to get the US stamping done?
- Do I need to apply for a travel permit, even though I have the plastic PR cards?

Your input will be appreciated.
Thanks!

In my case wife works in the same company which is sponsoring our GC and EAD apps .our EAD expired on Aug 13th (am on H1 still, wife on EAD). But Our laywer told us its ok to continue to work and employer didt ask us any thing so far. Still waiting for EAD. Expidite req was approved about 10 days ago, still waiting for the decision.

Per my lawyer, there is no written rule really that stops us working after EAD expiry,and it also depends on how employer looks at these rules and all this mess..

Hi Leoindiano:

What is meant by Pre-Adjudication and how do we know that, our case is Pre-Adjudicated. Sorry to ask you this qn. specifically, as I amnot seeing any LUDs on my case, and my para-legal says, dont worry.

my case details are PD10/05 EB2 I, RD 07/02/07 and ND 08/30/07 at TSC.

Can you enlighten us little bit more.

preadjudication is where USCIS processes your case even when visa numbers are not going to be available: meaning ur PD is not current, they know even if all is well they wont be able to approve, but still they go over everything, issue an RFE is something is not ok etc. If all is well, the case goes into a pre-adjudicated stack, and once visa numbers are available, they simply pick up a file from that stack, assign it a visa and mark it approved. This is how lots of people got approvals last year in july VB.

pre-adjudication has three advantages compared to starting to process only when teh PD is current:
- If they wait for PD to be current to pick up a file and start looking at it, there is no way they can process so many cases when the PD does go current, or when dates move significantly towards the end of the year. This is how they processed nearly 60k cases in 2 months last year.
- if PD is current for a short period (1month or 2) and thats when they pick up your case, if you get a NOID you could end up missing the window by the time you respond and they pick up your response.
- its helpful for them because they can weed out cases that are not going to be approved, earlier and they dont end up giving interim benefits to those people.

ur status does not change when your case is pre-adjudicated.

that was expected. 300K * 1.7(average family size according to USCIS) = Approx. 500K

They clearly said estimated 300K received. This 300K estimate includes all I-485 petitions, do not confuse and speculate incorrect info.

I was also taken aback initially when I read this. The 8 year wait doesnt apply to title 5. Title 5 already is designed to clear the backlog of EB immigration from 6 years to 0/at best minimum since quota is increased and there are exemptions. The 8 year backlog refers to family based.

...Now, THAT was quite a scare! Thx. for the clarification.

RFE and NOID come with a color sheet of paper with your details and some USCIS internal codes for your case. You can respond by yourself and put the sheet on top - this is for the mailroom to handle your case

hi Chandu,

I have used my EAD to join a perm position. I did not inform my employer about it, since he neither paid me while i was out of project,nor retained my health insurance.Although , iam not sure if he has cancelled by I140 or not.

Please let me know what documents are needed to invoke AC21.
I just know the job title on which my PERM was applied .
It was Software Engineer (Systems Software) with MS + 1 Year
And also i do have a copy of the approved I140.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Its not too late yet....You will get H1 extension beyond 6 yrs if you meet one of the below conditions:

-- labor certification is pending for 365 days ---(This is not applicable to you)

-- I-140 is approved -- (You have a chance with this option)

Apply asap for labor certification. With the PERM process it usually takes 2-3 months to get it certified. Then you can apply for I-140 in Premium Processing and get it certified within 15 days.

Make sure you hire a good attorney and push to get the 2 stages cleared fast. Then you can file for H1 extension and get a 3 yr extension with approved I-140.

Good Luck..

is there any possiblity that the EB3-ROW from Bngladesh become current soon. can you tell any approx.....days. What about in October....i heard that the new visa will be available in Oct every year. Is there any quota for different countries....??????? thanks again

Do you know who will be next president of USA?
In this case, atleast we know there will be a president of USA, but in case of USCIS no body knows whats going to happen.

about the dates being current, u need to keep on following the visa bulletin every month. If your date is not current then keep on renewing your EAD/AP. Also be ready to do FP almost every other year.

If you feel frustuated join us in the fight.
But if you feel that u have filed 485 and u r all set, then GOD HELP YOU.

Please dont take my post in the wrong way, i am just trying to enlighten you to the world of uncertaintites in which you have entered after filing your 485.

It's not going anywhere. And I don't think it will go anywhere. They have never mentioned it being discussed or voted.


Does anyone know what is going on with Sen Cantwell's amendment (1249) that was favorable to high skilled immigration?

Gator, I wish I could answer that part.While I was doing research on AVR on this forum and other Google results, I think I did read somewhere that using AVR might affect adversly on AP application.
You know, 1 thing I did b4 going out was to go on CBP official website, went to Ask a Question and asked my question. I got reply same day from an official Chris. I printed that question and answer page and took with me, just in case. But everything was fine.

I agree that India is booming up despite these corrupted politicians. But until the politics goes to the hands of real patriots, the growth rate will be less and may even turn back to poverty again and the politicians family will become the richest persons in Asia. This should change first then we can think about that option.:confused:

This is simply called pure selfishness.


The problem he is talking about is not a widespread one and never heard of, other than may be for one or two people in this forum (one may be nk2006; sorry that it happened to you).

Even if it had happened to one or two exceptional cases, it can be rectified as it is a simple error from the part of USCIS. This is not a major thing to waste IV resources. This is not a serious immigration issue.

The way nk2006 misused IV resources for such a simple personal issue is unpardonable .

Knowing that there are such people among 'highly educated' is disheartening.

Hi my father lost his passport at the airport today and with it his I94 and US B1 visa. We do have scanned copies of his US Visa and Passport. I would appreciate any pointers on the following question -

1. What are my next steps?
2. I figured from browsing few sites that he needs to apply for I94 - does any one know of any vague ETA there?
3. Would he have to go through his visa stamping again?

Much apprecaite your reply.

There are few steps you have to follow:

1. As the previous post says, report to the nearest police station and get the number.

2. Find which consulate gives service to your state from this URL http://www.indianembassy.org/newsite/consultates.asp

3. Go to their website, and there is an emergency number/lost passport number, call and inform them.

4. You have to fill up the application forms (they will guide you), includes the scanned copies of the old passport and proper fees, overnight to them.
They will process it and issue either a new passport or temporary passport to your father in a quick period of time. It may not be in a week, but surely won't take more than a month.

5. Inform USCIS the same and get guidance from them.

The only issue you have during this process is, he may not be able to travel within US without proper photo ID. You should be ok within your city as he is senior.

Always keep the copy of the scanned passport at hand when going out.

Good luck.

I am in a similar situation. What did your friend end up doing? I would appreciate any feedback on this.
My 140 is approved, 6th year expires in March 09, 485 has not been filed due to retrogression and there is a potential for a layoff. Can I transfer 140 to a new employer and file 3 yr extension at the same time?

You can not transfer I140. You may need to start from PERM and port your PD from the approvd I140. I am not sure about the H1 part.

Whoever has already attended FP, did the FP officer ask for 485 receipt also along with FP Notice.

I received FP Notice, but didnot receive receipts. I have the FP appointment tomorrow.

Thanks
