Just fyi to be cautious.

There was a CBP Admission Review Squad at Washinton Dulles Airport on 11th evening. They sent all passengers from multiple flights to secondary check where they had to wait for over 4 hours. They were instances were people were not admitted or given just 1 month entry with specific instructions written on I94 that they cannot apply for EOS or AOS. This is for visiting Visa.

core members ? any comments?

Hi,

I have an EB2 that is pending with BEC. Everytime, I ask my employer for some kind of an application number that I can use to check the status online - they deny and instead provide me with the status themselves. Is there any other way to get the status of the LC?

Regards

Wow ! I am in exactly same situation. I talked to national service center and they said they will talk to only employer or attorney. I told attorney about it and they said, dont worry , there online status system is screwed up so just wait for decision snail mail.
After seeing your mail, I am susoecting VSC cases are having issues with status search. so I would say that dont worry.

swwwweeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttttt

Hi Guys
I went to local USCIS office today and asked about my case status. My I-485 was filled on 08Feb07 in EB2 category. A lot of people who have fillled I-485 after me, have already received green cards.
The Immigration lady was very nice and she told me that my case can not be approved as my name check is still pending with FBI. The name check was initiated on 24Feb07. She created a service ticket for me providing a target date of middle of next month. The ticket said that "Please approve asap after getting clearance from FBI". I do not know what does that mean? Still trying to figure out???

Then I asked about name check status of my dependants. She mentioned that their name check has been resolved which is different from cleared. She created a different SR for my dependants requesting Approval of Green cards as name check has been resolved again giving me mid of next month as target date. Does it mean that my depandants can get approval before my approval?
Gurus Any idea what should I expect. Do I need to continue to follow up with FBI and senators regarding my name check and collecting information for case file?

Can anyone tell me after my 6th year of H1 i have a 3 year extension of h1 visa, can i go to india and come back on that visa or do i need to have AP. I got my 140 approved and i got my 485 receipt notices.

As long as you have a valid H/L visa stamped on your passport , you dont need an AP to re-enter. Refer to lot of forums at IV. you will get info about AP/EAD usage and linking with H1

Hello,

What happens if someone who has a pending employment based I-485 (EB3/ROW/PD:03/07, July 07 Filer) is selected for the Green Card DV Lottery?

Does any of you guys know someone who has been through this?

Thanks!

I ran into similar circumstances in 2008 and i accepted some amount on 1099. So far nothing has happened. At that time money was more important for me than anything else. It was just one instance in my 5 years on H1. Right now i applied for I-140 and waiting for approval. I maintained my H1 status pretty good all the time. If there is ever an enquiry i'm thinking of explaining the proper reason why i accepted the payment on 1099. Hopefully there shouldn't be any problem.
To sum it up, It is illegal to accept payments on 1099 when you are on H1. And i would advice everyone to stay away from 1099. Every case is different and you never know what is going to happen

Better to send the GC to India and he can enter with that GC.
His wife's GC is through his and her stay here depends on him.
So don't go for the route, to file for him as her depenant. This will make everything screwup.
Many people entered after their GC approval.

u cannot use Canada PR to enter US. If he left US without AP then his application for adjustment of status is considered abandoned.

spouse can file new application in dependent category. the dates for dependent category have come quite close since last 6 months. he could expect a GC in 6 months !

talk to a lawyer about dependent 485.

we used Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.

I understand the 180 days rule after filing 485. what if the eb3(140 approved) based 485 has been pending for 180 days, and a newly approved eb2 140 has just been ported to the pending 485.

Is there a rule that the 180 days started over again after porting, since it's a new 140, which implys the applicant intends to work for the 140 position for a period of time.

What are the risks if the applicant changes the job right after eb2 140 gets approved, and changed the underlining 140 of the pending 485 from eb3 to the newly approved eb2.

Any comments are really appriciated.

Thanks

The new version looks much better onsitus :)

Good work Patel

On May 5, 2008 I got a message through my employer that they received an EAC receipt number from USCIS.While checking online we received a message

Application Type: I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER

Current Status: Case Rejected because of Incorrect Fee

On May 5, 2008, we determined that this I129 PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER was not properly filed because you submitted incorrect fee. Therefore, we have rejected your case and returned it to you with all supporting materials, along with the fee. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the case with correct fee."

The online notice specifies that "Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the case with correct fee". Unfortunately, we did not receive the notice till June 5, 2008. I called USCIS and requested them for the papers, they reassured me to have the communication sent to their Vermont office and that I have to wait for another 45 days. Today morning 26th June, 2008 my employer received a notice from USCIS saying that the H1-B petition has been rejected because it was not randomly selected for processing.

I am confused how can I get a receipt number without getting randomly selected? what can I do in this regard please help me!

As a H1B holder, can I start a new company and volunteer for it while I am holding a full-time job for the company that sponsors me the visa? I am expecting the new company to gain a profit, of course.:)

Yes you can, start your company and volunteer for the company but not together :(

You can start your own company but can not work in it.

You can take a part time/ 2nd job by filing a 2nd H1 (the 2nd H1 will be in addition to your first H1), but you can't own that company!

Interestingly your wife can start a company and sponsor your 2nd H1 in her company ;)

Note: While nothing above is wrong or not allowed, some of the information above may have shades of grey...check with really good attorney before you take this up.

even if you go for counsular processing
