Please give us more details , don't mention color of the receipts(one is Visa appointment fees and second Visa issuance fee )

as far I remember , the receipt used to get visa appointment should match with what you you submit at consulate. If you have lost it then u need to get another DD and book/if possible edit the appointment deatils

But if you have lost Visa issuance fees , u don't have to modify ur appointment details but sure you need to get another DD

my wife still needs to go for VISA, HDFC gives 2 receipts.. 1 which we have to submit(yellow), I have that .. .the other 1 that we have to show at the time of interview.. (pink) I have a copy of tht (stamped by HDFC)..

It's taking anywhere between 4 to 6 weeks on an average after the introduction of the new lockbox system. We received our receipts in 29 days, so I don't think you should panic yet :)

Thanks a lot

Do we get a notice to get biometrics done when you apply for EAD renewal?

My wife and I have a EAD renewal RD of June 23, 2008 at NSC. We have not gotten any LUD after that. Anybody knows how long it takes to get the EAD?

Thanks for the help guys..

Very good but expensive

Not an error. Per law you have 10 days after your H1 expiry to wrap up and leave the country. Some CBP officers add that to the I-94

Hello All:

In good faith to your request for help, please do include more details of your case :- EB2 or EB3, country, PD, date I-140 filed, etc. So us IV readers will be in a better position to assess situation and help.

I got an RFE to send copies of my degrees on nov 15th. my attorney sent the copies and my status changed to Response to request for evidence received and processing is resumed. How many days will it take for I-140 approval after the response to RFE to received by USCIS ?

Hi All,
I recently got my I140 approved and I am waiting to file my I485 as my priority date(Oct 2007) is still not current(EB2 category, India).Not sure how long it is going to take as the current backlog is July 2000 for India and China.

My brother is a citizen of the US and I need to clarify if my brother can apply for a family-based green card for me and how long does it take to get the EAD when applied through this process as compared to filing through the employer when I reach my priority date.

Also need to clarify if this process is sooner or still the same as applying through the employer.

Thanks in advance.

Current PD for sibling is 1998. I dont think there is any issues for filing thru family based GC.

My spouse and I have been notified through I-797C notice of action letter of the interview for (form-1-485, application to register for permanent residency). They require us to bring along a checklist of items for the interview including form I-864 that needs to be attached with Tax returns and W2 or certified IRS printouts.

Both of us have been in US for 15 years holding F1 and later H1B visas. The problem is that one of us (who is the dependent) has worked in several organizations without authorization. We would like to know what cause of action to take to mitigate the problem as well as the worst-case scenario in terms of our ability to obtain residency. Any advice, particularly those who know of someone who has faced a similar situation will be appreciated.

how many Days person in question worked unauthorized? When was it? Did you travel outside US after that?
Why are they asking for I-864? It is used usually in family based cases.

Hi,
I think you will have to put whatever is ther on passport. I had the entry as nassau,Bahamas. I put in nassau bahamas.

tks a lot sir..!

yes, I did mean 12/2011.

My cousin is getting married to a US citizen in February 2009. I want to get information about K3 visa for spouse of US citizen. My questions are:

1. I have heard that it takes long time to get K3 visa, is that true?
2. If the above statement is true then what other visa option is best for her, visitor or fiance visa (K1 visa)?
3. Is it necessary that immigrant visa petition (greencard) is in process before applying for K3 visa?

Thank you all in advance for your help!!!!

See you guys.

Guys,

Can someone please let me know whether it is possible / advisable to travel while H1 approval is pending?

She is currently in H4 with a valid stamp in her passport. She filed for her H1 and was selected in lottery. She has a receipt but her approval is pending.

We were interested in making a short trip to India before Oct 1. But the consulting firm advised against it as according to them if she re-enters in H4 (even before Oct 1) while her H1 approval is pending, her H1 application will be cancelled and she has to restart the process all over again. Something to do with the last status on re-entry.

My thoughts are: The change of status will be effective Oct 1, 2008, why would it matter if I travel prior to that date?

A lot of you may have experienced the same dilemma, so please let me know...

thanks.

USCIS recently issued a Memo that amends Adjudicator�s Field Manual on General Form I-140 Issues. Many issues are covered, but one of particular interest to our PERM (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1135851.html)readers is the Labor Certification Validity for Labor Certifications with an Ending Validity Date that Falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Federal Legal Holiday.

DOL has established a 180-day validity period for approved labor certifications. See 20 CFR 656.30(b). An approved labor certification must be filed in support of a Form 1-140 petition during the labor certification's validity period. DOL has not published any guidance regarding the treatment of labor certifications that effectively have a validity period of less than 180 days due to an ending validity date that falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a federal legal holiday.

USCIS will accept the filing of 1-140 petitions where the supporting labor certification validity period ends on a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday on the next business day, i.e., the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday. This action is most consistent with existing USCIS regulations, which allow cut-off dates for the filing of petitions and applications that fall on a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday to be extended until the next business day. See 8 CFR 1.1 (h). This procedure provides petitioning employers the benefit of the full 180 day validity period for approved labor certifications established by DOL.

dude.. that attitude might not help you on a public forum where people offer help/suggestions for free... and c'mon, this isn't your english class.. so I guess if you can understand 'ur' is 'your'.. you can get over it.

coming to your point, I see no reason why you can't... only catch is, if you have already used up your 6 years of h1, then the new h1 time is in excess of 6 years, which will be approved for 3 years only if your AOS is pending and your 140 is approved.

pal :)

Hi ,
I attended H4 VIsa intervew recently at Chennai,India and got Green 221(G) asking for some documents from petitioner. Meanwhile my husband changed the employer and got new I797.
Now at the time of submitting the documents, I understand that I need to submit new I797. But what about the documents stated in 221(G), Do I still need to submit them? If so which petitioner's documents do I need to submit? Old one or new one? As the query was mainly about petitioner and now that the petitioner is changed , do I still need to submit them?
Please advice.

:drool: nice!!
