Hi Guys,

A quick one. I have a HIb visa which is expiring on 9th of next month . I have never worked for that employer as things did'nt work out. I am currently in Australia and want to work as a contractor in US. I have already figured out who is going to transfer/sponsor my new H1.

I am pretty sure that my employer would have cancelled my h1 which was allotted to me in 2007 quota.
I have a tourist visa as well and i intend to goto US on that Visa and work out on the transfer of my H1 once i land there.

Can i really do the above or am i getting too optimistic.
Please reply soon as i have to make some really quick decisions.

Regards
N

I have a simply question, not urgent, not immediate

I moved to a different place (same city), but my wife is out of country. I am trying to file AR-11 for change of address, but it is asking for Last Port of entry. Is AR11 needed only for people who are currently in the country.

Here is the contextual description of my scenario:

I worked in a motel (while i was on F1) during the year 2007 and that salary was reflected on my W2. I maintained a clean work status after the initial transgression. I changed to H1B in the year 2008. My GC process was initiated and my application cleared the PERM and I-140 stages successfully.
My question is, will i face any hurdles during the I-485 stage because of the mistake that i committed while i was on F1 ((worked in a motel illegally)? If yes, how serious/low profile could the implications be?

Your advise is much appreciated.

Thanks
MR

Is there any way H1B can qualify as a EB1C?

Sure. You need to work outside the US for the sponsoring company in a managerial capacity for 1 out of the 3 years prior to filing the I140. So if you are on a H1B and are a manager, you can sign up for an assignment abroad to fulfill that requirement.

There is just one other way that you apply for citizenship , get it and then sponser them for GC again but that whole process would take a year at least and money too.

Best thing would be to wait . I am sure that EB3 India would move by a couple of months in this year and your family would get the GC's. If you have waited for the last 8 years for them , another few months should not matter.

Going the citizenship route is probably going to take longer in your case I think . You can try that if EB3 doesn't move in the next six months.

Hello:

I have same question, please reply it.

Hello
Thank you for your time and I appreciate your effort.

Scenario:
I have two Approved I-140s (both filed by same company).
� Filed I-140 & I-485 concurrently with a PD of Nov 2007 (Original Labor) - I-140 Approved and I-485 Pending
� Filed I-140 with PD March 2005 (Substitution Labor) - I-140 Approved.

Questions:
1. I would greatly appreciate if you can let me know what are my options and any relative information (Letter formats etc.)
2. Can Info-Pass work instead of writing to USCIS?

Hello, my application was filed on July 11 and reached USCIS on 12 th (TSC). Speaking to an officer at USCIS I found that my application has been rejected on Sep 11, 2007 due to missing filing fee. He said, I can try re-filing my case with that letter they sent, a letter explaining the situation (guess an apology letter from our end) and a new check. But, he did mention honoring the application would be at the discretion of the immigration officer.

I still haven't received the rejection letter yet. Has anyone been through a similar situation. If so, can you please tell me if they would honor my re-filing ? Please let me know your thoughts.

Sorry for the duplicate posting. Looking for options, and any similar experiences..

Hello all,
I am a student on an I20/M1 vis
I have just recieved a new I20, and sent a form I 539 for extension of my I20.
I have my old I94, I20 etc.
It is currently under processing.
First, is there any way they can move it to another processing center? Its in the vermont center right now, and they are still processing documents from May 2008 according to CIS website.
Second, my original I94 is valid till 14 April 2009 but my original I20 is expired.
My visa is 5 years(M1 valid to 2013)
Can I go and visit my home country with the old I94(since its valid long enough) and new I20(which just got issued)??
or do I need to wait until the processing comes through?
thanks in advance.

If you do submit all 600 of your buttons, can I bow out from judging?

Hello All,

My employer has job posting Bachelor's degree with 7 years of experience but does not say anything about Masters Degree. Wanted to know this job requirement fall under EB2 or EB3?. appreciate for the response.

The advt is very sensitive. My friend lost his eb2 chance because of that.
its MS or Bachelor's degree with PROGRESSIVE experience.
Did you got it screended with your/company attorney about the advt description

Morchu,

Thank you so much for your help. Really appreciate your help.

So basically while I'm waiting for the priority date to become current, I can legally work aborad for several years without any harm to my GC application at all. When the priority date becomes current, I'll just need to come back to the U.S. to file I-485.

Is that correct? Sorry for keeping asking. Just want to make sure before I make this major decision.

Hi-

My current EAD was issued in 2007 when I filed I-485 + I-140 concurrently. It has since expired. I did not apply for a renewal because I am still on my H1B.

I am applying for a renewal now and had a question regarding filling out form I-765

Q15. Current Immigration Status ( Vistor, Student, etc )
I am still on my H1B. So I think I should write H1B and not AOS. But I am not sure.

I filled (C)(9) for Q16 Eligibility Criteria, and since I live in Ohio I am sending it to USCIS Phoenix Lockbox Facility. My receipt notice is Aug 2007 and to be sure I am including the $380 fee.

Appreciate your help!

Thanks

If you are on H1B, then you must write H1B as your current status.

Hi,Mr.ChanduV
THANKS FOR YOUR MAIL.
I can recapture only for 07/18/2006 to 08/16/2006. i.e only 29 days.

Atty Said ,It is fine to write 6/30/2010;The LCA can be for a longer period of time than that which is requested in the I-129 petition � it just can never be for a shorter period of time.
Thanks in Advance.

The government has been ramping up enforcement of employment immigration laws, with a particular focus on insuring that companies are staying in compliance. The number of enforcement activities has increased dramatically in the past year. Now, more than ever, it�s important to insure that your company is ready in case of a government I-9 audit. And for the first time, it�s not enough to be in compliance. Each company must prove compliance, and if using an electronic system, use one that works in accordance with immigration laws.

The San Diego Union Tribune reports (http://signonsandiego.com/news/2010/oct/09/immigration-audits-are-increasing-against/), enforcement in San Diego County mirrors a national trend toward more scrutiny of employers� I-9 forms, the universal tool for verifying permission to work in the United States.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, initiated 66 audits with local employers in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, reviewing 5,588 individual I-9s in the process. That was up from 44 audits in fiscal 2009 and just one audit in 2008. A company can be fined up to $1,100 for each illegal employee, and knowingly violating verification laws can lead to criminal charges and forfeited assets.

So the heat is now on employers to clean the house, it is also a great burden on employees to find work. As the illegal population continues to grow, they will also find creative ways to deal with the system. All we can suggest employers is to conduct routine internal I-9 audits and have an immigration policy in place, this is the best practice to follow.

Thanks, Attorney has not made any amendement but had my perm approved before H1 transfer.

bumping..

We all need to do that.. Specially when there are memo's and re-entry issues coming up left and right.

I applied for I 485 , AP and EAD during 07 July. I got a fp notice back in 2007 and I got another one two weeks ago. I went ahead and did my bio-metrics over the weekend at TSC Application Support Center.

Does this mean that somebody has looked into my file and pre adjudicated it? or is it a automated thing and does not mean anything?

Please advice!

I do not know. I got a notice too. Due for Biometrics this month end.
