Only 9 so far ? I had expected more !!!

Well guess what a colon and D turns out to be? Havent used yahoo IM in a while is it? :D

No I didn't point out anything just im sharing the data.And waiting for EB2 to be current.I don't know how the smily comes next to PD?

Friends,
A unique situation -
I am getting ready to apply for my wife's AOS (ROW). She has never used a last name on any legal documents, example birth certificate, passport.
Her H4 visa was processed with "FNU" - family name unknown .. Do I need a last name for filing her I-485? Can she get a GC with only her first name on it?
Or will they process it with FNU as last name...
Should i go to her embassy (Indonesia) and get her passport changed to my last name before applying for her 485? In that event, her H4 visa,passport and birth certificate will not match her passport..

Any thoughts on my situation?

I guess, nobody really knows the answer. If she does not have a last name and all she uses is her first name, it should be alright. Since all her legal documents- Birth certificate, Passport, DL, Bank Statements have this legal first name only. If she now wants to use your family, last name after getting married, that could also be done. You should really consult your lawyer on this one. Please do not use any advice from this forum as legal or valid.

whoa.

Economy returns to growth after deep slump | Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/GCA-Economy/idUSTRE59S1EF20091029)

The Good and the bad of this news.

Good: More Jobs created if the growth sustains moving forward to 2010. :)

Bad: Lesser Spill Over numbers than is being expected for 2010. ;)

You should join your state chapter through the IV forums. State Chapter volunteers should plan to contact local politicians and meet them face to face. Nothing is more powerful than visiting face to face and impressing upon politicians how important this issue is.

But again mailing is also a great idea. I have the following link for House Representatives who got elected recently:

USATODAY.com

You can look up their contact information at

Senate has always backed us. It is the house that has stonewalled us for last two years. So I tend to believe it is better to contact House Reps

Its been more than a month that my employer got the approval email but the lawyers say they never got the paper cert. In their opinion, now it is too late to expect the paper. They also say that it is impossible to get a duplicate cert from DOL.

The only option, per my lawyers, is to file a regular I140 and ask USCIS to get the duplicate directly from USDOL when we get the RFE.


Has anyone else had a similar experience or is the laywer pulling my chain since i have three EADs and APs due for approval in 3 months.

Can folks confirm that PERM certs indeed go missing and this is the only recourse?

Did he/she send the original Employment letter? What is the PD of your friend?

From what I understood his lawyer did not send the employment letter in the first place. His priority date is Sep 04 ROW, mine is July 04 ROW.

I added my older H1b case too of Dec 01 (i hadn't added such old case to my portfolio..didn't see need) and that had a LUD of 10/13/07 maybe due to my submitted cases of 140/ead/ap/485. Those had a LUD on 10/16/07 with notice date of 10/12.

seems like some batch work was done on the 2004 cases today.

idark, not to criticize, especially since I haven't submitted anything yet, but can't you do something better than a continuous gradation on the background? The animal/guy just deserves better. (that's a complement :D)

The short answer is yes. Once you have an approved I-140, you can ask to be accorded the PD on any subsequent I-140.

I recently started work with a new employer using my EAD. I have a pending RFE on my 485 which I have to respond to in a couple of weeks. However, today I noticed that my 485 got a soft LUD of the day following the day I started with my new employer. My new employer uses eVerify but I didnt expect that it could be linked with a pending 485. Maybe I am wrong but I see no reason for the USCIS to touch my 485 until I have responded to the RFE.

Has anyone else noticed something similar when you started with a new employer using eVerify?

YES, I just checked it is just the employee and not his family.
Thanks for correcting.

Hi All,
****** I have searched all related posts but could not find an answer ********
I have applied my labor in EB3 category. As i am qualified for the senior position i have asked my management for the next level. so that i can apply in EB2 and get the priority data transferred from EB3 application.

with the July fiasco applied I485 with the EB3 application. Now my management is working to promote me from software dev to Sr software developer. Should i accept the promotion? my job responsibilites will be same with additional responsibilities. What will happen to my i-485 application if i take the promotion?

Thank you.

Can I go for this change of status any time or do I need to wait for new H1B cap which will open in April every year?

I was in united states for 5 years and 2 months on H1-B visa. I did not apply for green card during my stay and had to return to India in Aug'2008 due to personal reasons. I want to find out if I am eligible for applyng H1 in this year's quota through same employer with whom I had earlier H1.

Here is my situation -
1. My H1-B petition is valid till 12th July 2009. My passport is not stamped to reflect this date.
2. I came back to India for good on 31st August 2008.
3. If I go back to US before 12th July, I will only get extension for remaining 10 months (as I was in us for 5 years and 2 months). But I want to go for couple of years, so have to go on new visa after completion of 1 year in India.

So I want to check if I am eligible for filing H1-B in this year's quota through same employer ?

If you physically live outside US for 365 days or more, then your H1B visa time will reset, however, your new application will be subject to cap; i.e., if your application is not picked up in the lottery, you will not be able to work. Note that if you apply for new H1B, it will start from Oct 1, 2009. The employer -- a new one or the old one -- is immaterial in this calculation.

Good luck on your H-1B transfer ... in the worst scenario you have 10 days.

the date
:rolleyes:(not number of days to president signs)

thanks

I have seen many people on this forum that haven't notified USCIS but changed jobs.

Hi,

I have an EAD (over a year now since I-140 approved), but never used it. Now, that Iam planning to switch my employer I have some questions about using EAD

1. Is it Mandatory to file AC21?

2. Is AC21 required for each contract switch ? (Suppose Contract is W2), if so, wouldnt that be hard and expensive to file for every 3 or 6 months projects?

3. Can I work on 1099?

Thanks in Advance.

Is more than 6 yrs of IT experience from a non-computers engg background good for applying for EB2 position? Can you comment from your experience.


I have similar situation. I am getting an already approved labor for gc processing. it needs 5yrs progressive exp and bachelor degree in engg. Now I do have nearly 5 years at the time of application and now (9 years). have same degree work for same company as the company applied and also match in experience almost 100%. Is there any risk in I140 approval.
