did the whole NSC USCIS team when for TG turkey hunt :D... no update till now .. any info from anyone here...

My AP was approved for multiple trips. So I can use the 2 stamped AP as many times as I want. The officer told me that when I use the APs for my next trip then they are going stamp the same APs again. And that I will not need to submit anything on my next trip. It would be advisable to keep some photocopies of the AP just in case they ask for a copy.

How do you know AP is approved for multiple entries?

I thought AP in general is for multiple entries.

Is there a way to tell from your approval notice it your AP was approved for multiple times?

Thank you.

She can work for any company she wants... her EAD is not limited to any job/profession... So she can work for Company B or C or D

PS - My wife works for company B using AP/EAD that came as a result of my I485 done by my employer. So she should enter on AP and use EAD to work. No issues. She can always have the H1 in her back pocket for back up... I would consult a lawyer if I were you before using the H1...

She can not get an H4 though... thats seen as abandoning your AOS status...

Hope this helps...

"She can not get an H4 though... thats seen as abandoning your AOS status..."
I have no idea how you came to this conclusion...she is a dependent I-485 applicant. Does it really matter if she is on H1 or H4? I think that is not true what you are saying.

Hi All,

Thank you for your overwhelming response. I did spoke to an attorney and rightfully got sucked out with $$ but it gave me some peace of mind for sure.

1. His recommendation was that the maximum penalty in my case would be 10,000 $ + 2 months notice as given i my policy. Apart from this wipro cannot claim any more and again this could be challenged if asked for in USA but would work in wipro's favor if it is claimed in India.
2. But he did mentioned that many of other clauses could be challenged.
3. He also cautioned me that Wipro cannot be bounded to give my Experience letter :(

Bottom line is i'm ready to pay 10,000$ + remaining 4 weeks notice and get a clean exit. Yes some of you might argue otherwise but i thought from my personal perspective this is right decision as i have plans to get my GC processed.

@JRG, hope this helps u.

@reddyram,LONGGCQUE, gc28262, pagal, crazymonk ... I'm greatful to each one of you. @LONGGCQUE your specifc response was most helpful to me as it ideally match with my situation without any disrespect to others as each one of your suggestions have made to stand up against Wipro!!

Thanks Again.

Alright.. I had the power (zee.. I am so powerful) to give you some reputation in IV society and I did that because you sound like a very nice person. :D

Now go and do some good work for this society like donating money to IV or doing volunteer work.. something of that nature to build up more reputation. :D

It's good to find humor in difficult times like yesterday and today. I have seen so many funny posts today that I have been laughing my head off despite the uncertainty surrounding VB fiasco.

Thanks GCard_Dream

This is my GC application history

1. PD for Labor - Aug 2003
2. Labor(Regular) Application Approved - Nov 2005
3. i-140 applied in Jan 2006
4. RFE received question was for company not self, i-140 withdrawn.
5. Transferred my H1 to the companys sister concern and reapplied for i140 in June 2006.
6. Applied for i140 premium processing on June 22nd, 2007.

Current status for i-140 : Recieved and pending at Nebraska service center.

Questions
Q1. What is i-140 receipt date for premium processing. Is it the date the fed-ex package is recvd by USCIS or is it a date issued by USCIS that should reach my lawyer?

Q2. If in case the USCIS need to provide my attorney a receipt date, we have NOT received one as yet. Does that mean they have not even looked at the application as yet?

Q3. Can i apply for i485 in the worst case that i do not receive approval for i140 by Aug 17th under the concurrent filing rule.

Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

sorry guys i was moving to new place. it was with i-94

my cousin (think immi.com handle gcapnekbohi ) got his masters 1.5 years ago from university of phoenix .. through online program.
Soon after he tried to interfile his eb3 app for eb2 and he is currently appealing his NOID... reason 'inequality of credit weights from online masters since they are not transferable'.
Anybody know of anyone who has successfully gotten through to eb2 using an online masters? please pm me..thanks in advance.



You should qualify for EB2. It doesn't matter even if it's online.

Mita, before you start your lecture, please explain your following idiotic comment....

You made my day!!!!
I was waiting for someone to spit venom at timesofindia but did not happen till today.

lame duck period is after nov 2006 till jan 2007 when the 110th congress is sworn in.

I don't get what caused the sudden spike in the Master's quota. Earlier it used to be open for at least 15 days... Can it be because of increase in number of international students or people loosing in previous year lotteries going for Masters??? I seriously believe that H1B visa program needs reform - a valid job offer (read project for consultancies) must be necessary for applying AND a joining date within 2 months of starting FY. This is true madness going on.

this happened because alot of students filed through multiple employers
(read desi consultants) to better their chances

i hope they do something about this artificial inflation and fraud bodyshoppers

the masters quota would never have gone into lottery then

One of my colleagues with RD July 27th at NSC got his approval last monday. He is EB2 - I. And the processing dates at NSC is not current for him either.

My RD is July 30th at NSC !! Hoping for good news soon !

yeah she is second generation Indo S.African (another 3rd world country). Will you please let how to change country of chargeability with out talking to any immigration attorney

citizenry does not matter...but country of Birth does..If she was Born in SA..then u can change ur chargability.

Hey Guys,
I am not sure about the status in 2009, but till the end of year 2008 I didn't face any problems. I used to travel at least once in a quarter to over seas during 2006,2007,2008 and almost all the times my POE is SFO. I never faced any problem, in fact entry in through SFO is like a automated process at vending machine or grocery store . Submit the form, copy of H1B and then give finger prints and smile for photo(if you have energy after long hours flight). Only question they used to ask is "are you bring any food items?"

One thing I observed is, if you confuse IOs by trying to give more information or giving more documents etc, you will be creating problems . Always I used to answer YES for the question "are you bringing any food?". Some IOs questioned about that and didn't bother to ask H1B related questions. This trick has been worked so far for me. I have all the documents and didn't have any problem with status, job etc. But still why you want to discuss more about those and create problems for yourself.

I heard one guy gave his AP document with H1B visa and requested the IO to consider only H1B. In this case IO didn't accept the H1B, as IO thought this guy has more advanced visa(in this case AP). These are the things we should be very careful, if you want to use your H1B, don't even talk about or show AP or any other documents.

Thanks,
Veera

Thanks veera for your update. Hope we get some latest arrival information in to the country using H1 and give us their experiences

- cheers

Gah, I knew it! :deranged:

as i said

maybe he has been hired by some south african don to predict cricket stats for betting

or maybe some italian mob has him by the nuts to pick lotto numbers.
:D:D:D:D:D

and he is now going to get south african GC for his "outstanding ability"
:D:D:D

I am saying this without much research BUT I do recollect rave reviews about VDL Rao.

In past, Googler, Conshell etc. have done a good job of investigative journalism (name check memo and other critical updates). Discovering VDL rao would be blessing for some sort of hunch on Visa number availability. He has apparently commanded our respect.

Some guesstimate is better than utter confusion.

We need you Mr. Rao. Help us in our journey from darkness to light.... an eventual green light!

I sent in form G-325 for both me and my wife along with my I-485 instead of the G-325A as required on I-485 instructions by oversight. What do you guys recommend I do? Should I send in a new application or just send in the G-325A form with a letter stating the issue? Please help.

There is a high possibility that you will get an RFE and you will need to reply for the RFE.

Service centers does not consider three year degree course from India as degree equivalent from here. They want minimum four year degree. This may upset you. You may need to talk with your Attorney and look for an alternative to stay in US.

Maybe he should volunteer for a pay cut of 30%. ONLY 30%. See, its trivial little teeny weeny 30%. Its nothing. You wont even feel it. How about that director?

:-) Super! May be you can get him to donate that 30% to IV instead of a pay cut.

but i asked this question to find the legality of this issue before reporting someone to the USCIS that i know is doing this.I just used I instead of someone in my thread to start the discussion.

Who do i complain to in this case?


Buddy,

Are you the same person as the one who posted this? Has someone hijacked your id or your brain?
