SNaidu, Rajiv Khanna was on his way to your home, his car broke down so he could not deliver you this message. He needs a ride now. Please help him.


AS it is people are so stressed out attending medical appts 200 miles away from home. and being poked with vaccinations in all possible places..damn the body pain after DPT is miserable

also the details of the applications and the volatility of the way things may change ; ignoring the fact that everything is in the hands of your employer/lawyer.....

not to forget that the financial misery if you are filing for self + 2 dependents + lawyer fees is exceeding 5k...

why do you want open such nonsensical threads and raise the adrenalin...???

i wouldnt be surprised to be diagnosed with adrenalin tumor if this situation persists long...

actually you don't need even a degree to get EB1. if you have a nobel prize or pulitzer prize or olympics medal or equivalent you can apply and get eb1. (details are there in uscis website). phd and several published papers and patents are not sufficient for eb1.

Hi!

I have a question about wether a person with US Masters can qualify for EB1 category? Please comment.

I know generally people with such qualification fall into EB2 category. However, does years of expereience and say Patents qualify you to be considered as EB1?

Thanks for reading this thread and commenting.

Thank you all for sharing the response from your lawers.

I haven't got any response from my lawyer yet, but in the mean time I called USCIS customer service. At first time, I was transferred to ae 2nd level operator, but while I was waiting, the phone was disconnected. So I called again and explained my situation again to a different operator (1st level). This time, she did some investigation and told me that I should have only one A# and opened a service request. She informed me that I should get a response by Oct. 25.
But some of your lawyers said that they have seen the same situations and there has been no problem, I think it is ok to have two different A#s.

Thanks!

Your's is crossed 15 month stage, so you can ask your lawyer to enquire about it...

Hope fully DOL will approve yours soon...

Good luck

Is there anything specific that can be done after 15 months? I was justing waiting for someone to look at my case at DOL. Can you please shed some more light on this?

I tried to find information on the web, but I could not find anything anything particular to a case pending for 15 months or more.

Please share your understanding with us all. I'm sure there are a lot of people who are in the similar situation.

Thanks.

The health benefit is actually indicated in my employment contract as part of my employment package. However, they later informed me that the health benefit is already part of my salary.

I actually signed a non-compete contract with my current employer(which means I cannot work for my current client if I switch employer). Now, I'm planning to move to a different employer, but I would be assigned to the same client. Can I argue that since they did not give me the health benefit that they promised me, then it should be okay if I violate the non-compete contract? Do you guys think I have a point of defense?

Thanks!
Not Really..Your NCA will have clause that you will not sue/take legal action against employer and you are given time to legal consultation before signing the NCA contract...

Try to find out whether NCA's are valid in your employers state..For sure i know California does not honor NCA's..

I agree with gc_check this would avoid people getting into GC line in front of people have been waiting for years. Where is the link to submit comments?

it is usually 6 to 9 months now, i guess u can wait for some more time and then approach senators office...Good Luck

Once your Priority date of a category is current and namechecks are cleared, it is First in first out within the country quota. At that time, earlier priority dates do not matter at all. What matters is how early you applied for your I485 (date the application was physically received by the center, and not the date a notice was sent).

Signin,

You need to give more information about what whether your wife was able to file I-485 for your wife. If you are from a retrogressed country, then your wife was probably not able to file to adjust status. In that case, she is can change from H4 to F1. After the approval, her status is not dependent on yours, and you can start using EAD.

I filed my 485 in August and got married later and my wife is on H4 right now. I'm on H1 as of now. I'm not using my EAD right now, so that my wife can maintain her H4 status. I'm planning her F1 processing from H4, so that once she is on F1 officially, I want to use EAD to change employers.

Is there any risk involved here and if so, please let me know

Thanks in Advance

Hello thanks for the reply.
By applying for a petition did you mean:
- give the job advertisement in a newsletter,
- get the LCA
- then apply for a petition - I-129
>> what is the time frame for this petition application?
- apply for the waiver (i mean J1 applies and gets it lets say in 2-3 months)
>> i'll be still working with my J2 EAD, during waiver comes.
- once the waiver comes, then what is the procedure?\

Thanks again!

Don't worry. I had received a call 3 years back from Department of Homeland security. They asked me that someone was taking picture from my car on the highway. someone had complained that we were taking pictures of "George Washington Bridge sign board" from our car. We had not even gone on that highway that day.
We told him that it is a wrong car. Why would we go on the highway and takie picture of the sign board. Somone have given wrong information.

After that we never got that kind of call. No issue at all.

My PD is June 04 and the online status for my LC shows CERTIFIED since last week. Attorneys say they need DOL to send them the approved LC ... some document, which would be needed to file I-140 and I-485. Any idea how much time it takes for DOL to send the above said document back to the applicant or representative?

In that case, have your paper work ready such as medical tests, birth certs & related.

Even though this is your first post ever you are right, so you seem to understand things much better than people who have been following this forever. There are no favaroable amendments for us, the "good news" so far is proposed amendment from Collins which is going to abolish consulting for H1!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the sort of favorable amendmnets which will keep comming if the CIR comes back and on top of this, the reporter who wrote about this amendmnet, says that this brainwave amendment came after Microsoft CEO Steve Balmer met with Kyl!!!!!!!!!!

The moral of the story is, such "good" amendments will keep comming if tech industry keeps lobbying for us :mad:

Lets hope cir dies and if not then start opposing CIR

I seriously doubt if they will introduce favorable GC amendments in the next round.The focus is on the illegals and we will get negatively affected in the process. Our best course of action would be to oppose this bill and hope for it to fail. My 2 cents.

PS I do hope I am proven wrong though :-)

LostInGCProcess, his I140 is not approve, how come he can use his EAD ?

AOS can only be use after his I140 is approved.

Thx

That is not true. Once you have EAD on hand, you can chose to work using your EAD. I-140 pending or approval has nothing to do with working on EAD. The risk is, if his I-140 is not approved, then it would automatically trigger a NOID for I-485 and his EAD becomes invalid....thats the risk factor. But one can work if one has EAD.

Chanduv23, When you moved to another employer, did they give you a permanent offer letter for your GC process that you would attach with the Ac21 documents or did you use the employment letter that they gave for joining the new company?? Am I confusing you? I meant to ask, since GC is for future employment, did thay give you a separate employment letter for the future job?

Yes, the wording is very important. When I sent the AC21 documentation, it was just a letter explaining employment details and particulars, but when I replied to NOID, they specifically requested "prospects of employment" - and we responded as "this is a full time permanent job and the prospects are good" - which means they see it as future employment.

As long as you have worked for original employer for a good period of time, stick to your skills, have good w2 history, you don't have to worry - you can always show that your prospects are good.

Though Green card if for future employment - the entire process revolves around how best you fit the future employment category - AC21 is one such rule that gives you room and flexibility.

I dont know about others but for me stuck with the same compay for 5 years. I really want to move on !!


Everybody has the same problem buddy

Looks like your PD is current. You might get your GC anytime. That is another factor I would consider if your GC gets approved before you get married.

Filing six months in advance seems to be a better idea.

"According to Miller, only about 30 percent of applicants are running into such difficulties."

ONLY??!! Since when did 1/3 of something become "only"?

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?

I went to PennDOT to renew my PA Driver license and they took all my pepers. Offcer informed me that he cannot get verification for my Immigration status so he can not renew my License.
They gave me a printed peper which says we will informed you by letter within 21 dyas.

Anyone has proble to renew Lic. in PA.
