Read Section D of the Ombudsmans 2007 report. He also discussed some of these issues in the 2006 report.

Hi All

I have a question regarding filling of I485.

My wife got her H1 approved in November 2006 and she got her SSN in december and her company has not put her on a project.

I would like to know will there be any issue if I file her as my dependent on my I485 application.

Her H4 visa on the passport is already expired.

There were different bills the took on CIR. A new one will be introduced in the Senate in September it seems. I think the article is talking about CIR in general.

I have an old H1B visa with approval date December 19, 2000. I moved to US in Jan 2001 and spend only 2 months in USA in total. Stay outside USA from Mar 2001 until now.

Can I apply for the remaining time against my initial six-year period of admission and will be exempted from the cap?

So what if DOL doesn't respond before the H1 expires..Can the Employer file for H1 Extension without an approved LCA ??

Not recommended - CIS will reject a H-1B without a certified LCA.
[/quote] And if the LCA is denied because the DOL doesn't recognize the FEIN what options have we got..Can the employer reapply for LCA or just submit the Info and wait for info from DOL ??[/QUOTE]

The employer needs to submit proof of the EIN to DOL, wait for DOL to confirm, then file a new LCA. DOL will tell the employer what EIN evidence it needs to present.

Hello immi2006,

Were your collegues EB-2 classification with old PDs from the DoL's backlog centres?

I see some of the EB-2 indian nationals with old PDs received approvals so that USCIS can process their I-485.

If you are EB-3 then you might want to wait until Dec 2007.

thanks,

Rajuseattle.

thank you very much for your immediate response. Green card is being taken care by my husband's company. So right now I am not thinking about it.

Good Job Geesee,

This is a good avenue for highlighting our issues. I will send her a letter also about retrogression and FBI namecheck issues.

Refer to:

http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=249001&postcount=9

180 days starts from the date the name is sent to FBI by USCIS.
And apart from this ur PD has to be current.

Hi Gurus,

I am in a interesting situation. I have an approved EB2 I-140 but I recently applied for EB1-140 and I-485 concurrently and they are pending. Given that all PDs are now current, is it possible to convert my I-485 to the approved EB2 I-140. This will remove the uncertainty around approval of EB1 I-140. Any advice/experience is appreciated.

You can apply of AOS i.e I 485 only for one application . Since you already have applied for AOS on EB1 I highly doubt u can apply for AOS for EB2. Talk to your lawyer and find out

Your qoute about immigration is absolutely fabulous !!, that made my day !!:D, I wish all American Indian should now give visa's to everyone who is here already...

She does not need to do anything but get a job, fill form I-9 and start working again. She is in a period of authorized stay since her I-485 is pending. I don't think it's even necessary to apply H4 for her.

Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place, wasn't exactly sure where to post.

I applied for my Certifcate of Citizenship through my US citizen father about 5 years ago, and due to that US citizen father being an ass I still don't have it.
I have decided to just go back to England. I am happy about going back now and this post isn't about finding other ways of getting my citizenship.
When I originally came to the US I intended just to visit so I came on the Visa Waiver Program, and then decided to stay and become a citizen

My query is: When I leave to go back home will I be able to leave the US with just my passport(recently renewed) and ticket? or will I have to contact the USCIS and get some kind of letter or the like?

Thank You

You do not need any agency's permission to leave US. Just submit the I-94 form if you have one.

We are happy and proud to anounce that we are a 3000+ members family now. Kudos to the all the members for the hard work and perseverance. We are happy with what we have achieved so far and are confident & determined to do our best in the future. I want to quote Sunil on this

'I can sooo clearly remember when we just got started off, and we had only couple threads on our forums. We had only 6-8 members.

We were posting stuff on the forums just to get some content out there so people can see some activity. Hard to believe we have close to 600 threads now.

This is something everyone should be proud of'

Shana, Better yet update the RFE page on the wiki. The page will be there easily accessible and you will not have the burden of keeping this thread alive.

If you prefer, you can start a new page on the wiki with the title "Common RFEs" or something like that. If you need help updating the wiki just holler and will help.

I'm a July 2007 filer going to file for my EAD for the first time. Since I'm currently on H1B, how should I answer this question

I'm applying for:
a) Permission to accept employment
b) Replacement
c) Renewal of my permission to accept employment

I think I need to go with option "c" since moving from H1B to EAD would qualify for a "c" response

Please advise.....

Thanks

Hi,

Can a H4 visa holder apply for the Praxis test series and then apply for State Teacher Certification. I know on H4 we can't work but is it possible , just getting the Teacher Certification.

I believe that you can take tests as long as you formally study on your own. But get this confirmed by a lawyer.

If it's not possible on H4 then I have an option to convert H4 to L2 (as my husband will change his status from H1 to L1) and get EAD.

Just a clarification: If your spouse changes from H1 to anything, your H-4 status is automatically terminated; there is no "option" to retain it.

Can after that can I get the Teacher Certification from PA ?

I checked on PA State Teacher Certification requirement for Foreign Educated Teachers and there is one point like this.

- is a citizen of the United States or holds an resident alien (green card) visa

Will EAD/H4 considered as Resident Alien Visa ?

No.

Or without Green Card it's not possible to get this Certificate ?

Please help me.
Thanks

Hello Gurus,

I am on H1B with a NJ consulting company since 10/2004.
I am working with a client in Los Angeles, CA.

My H1b Visa expired in 05/2010 and I just got my 3-year extention.
In my petition I gave details of current client.

Today an Agent came from USCIS for an onsite(client-side) visit and verification.
The agent asked me various question mostly related to my petition
I was told my name was picked up randomly.
It is part of USCIS Site visit and verification Program

Anyone has a similar experience?
