It definitely sounds worth a call!

btw EB3 is backlogged across the board in all categories

I do not know about the number of recipts#, but if you gave the checks for the applications then most of the banks give images of cashed-check. That image will have the recipt number printed on the back side of check.

BTW, When did your 485 application/package reach USCIS? June or July 2007

Hello Bpositive,
I am in the same situation as you are and have been for about 2 and a half months. I got a yellow slip and still awaiting feedback from the Consulate who in turn is awaiting a response from Washington.

It depends on when you left the US and if you received your AP before your left the US.

There was a letter published on November 1, 2007 which can be found here

http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/HandLFinalRule110107.pdf)

If you received the AP before you left the US then there is no risk in returning on the AP from what I have been told but if you did not receive it before you left the US then there is a risk of you entire AOS process being cancelled and this all depends on the officer and the situation at the POE.

Unfortunately in my case I didnt receive my AP until after I left the US and am awaiting feeback from my lawyer regarding the rule in the link.

Let me know if you find any other information
as it would help me as well.

Please..request that only those with personal experience with this respond. I have to decide in the next hour or so and have lawyer opinions already.

Has anyone gone through this?

My H1 is pending 221g admin process (Pink. possibly because I have a Phd in biology) I can't wait much longer as I may risk losing my job. Can I travel on my valid AP? I am not concerned about keeping my H1 status etc. My only concern is at port of entry. Lawyers have told me it is ok, but I would like to hear from people who have done this themselves.

BumbleBee, Thank you for your reply.

I am afraid to talk to any prospective employers as I do not have a copy of I-140 with me. I have a copy of I-140 Approval letter, but it specifies; this copy should not be used as a proof of valid document for official purposes.

The only difference is if you work for the univ on a cap exempt H1b and than transfer to industry on a cap H1b then you would have to go through the lottery or masters quoto whatever applies...however there is a loophole in this and I have read somewhere that when you apply for a transfer for a cap exempt to cap subject USCIS have goofed up and let it go through

Hello Friends

My EB2 petition was filed in TSC in June 2009 and on July 20 2009 I received an email saying that " my approval notice was sent".Today the status changed to " Document mailed ON juLY 24 2009 " and also my previous eb1a denial in Feb 2009 got a soft LUD.

I am totally confused by this . Can some one offer their opinion on this strange development ?

Appreciate your help in advance

MurthyDotCom : TSC Erroneously Issues I-140 Approval eMails on Premium Processing Cases (http://murthy.com/news/n_erriss.html)

http://www.uslawnet.com/Englishhome/News/messages/234.htm

Yes, Im aware of the Cronin memo, and also the clarification on murthy.com below
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_efftrv.html

But, If you read the memo correctly, the language is vague at best, with references to a final rule that I couldnt find. Even the interim memo(Cronin) isnt available from the USCIS website.

My goal was not to restart the discussion on this. I simply wanted suggestions on how to approach USCIS to get clarity on this situation. Some options would be

1. Call USCIS : but do the people answering the call know the rules, and is their "interpretation" valid ?

2. Get an Infopass appt: Again, an IO may not be the right person responding to this

3. Contact the USCIS director : possible? how?

4. Contact AILA

5. Contact the Ombudsman

If anyone has thoughts and suggestions about how to get this clarified, please advise. My goal is to get a document from USCIS authoritatively stating their stance on this situation.

Dear Friends,

Can I quite my current job in the US and go back to india for 6 months come back on AP and find similar job ? is this possible ? how long can I stay in india
before my I-485 status "runs out" ?

My PD is June 2005/EB2. I am a July 2 filer. I have received I-485 receipt,EAD and AP.

Thanks.
If your current employer is your GC sponsor, won't he withdraw its I-140 if you quit? As I-140 is for future job, if you and him continue to have intent of making employee/employer relationship as per filed I-140, you can do whatever you want in the meantime, but you would need to work for him on getting your GC. Or you can wait and hope that I-140 is not approved within 180 days. In that case you can move to the new employer. Employment with sponsoring employer prior to GC approval, paystubs, etc. are only for establishaing and restrengthening expressed intent.

I had a opt which expired on the 9th. of november and on june 08 i applied to start green card process with help of a lawyer.I have a master degrees from the US and my lawyer told me that i did not need to apply for a H1 visa or a work permit and could directly go for green card. we started the process in june 08 and I applied to eta 9089 on september 08 and could not get any reply back for almost 5 months. My lawyer tells me that it is normal to not get an answer for so long even thought I think we had to get an answer in 3 to 4 weeks after september. Now, my lawyer suggests me to go back to my country as my status will be put of satatus and I could continue my green card process from back home.

I would like to know if my lawyer is telling me the truth or my lawyer made any mistake..

I need help!!!

Silicon Valley Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
A quick review of the list of largest H-1B (http://www.geelaw.com/lawyer-attorney-1054805.html)users for FY 2009 shows high tech and Silicon Valley topping the list. The top users of the H-1B program for 2009 included multi-national technology companies headquartered, and with branch offices in Silicon Valley. Wipro tops the list with 1,964 new H-1B visas. Microsoft is second with 1318, but then Intel Corp has a big drop off at 723 H-1B's The list of Silicon Valley companies continues, including Infosys Technologies (440), Qualcomm (320), Cisco (308), Oracle (272), Google (211), Yahoo (183), Apple (168), Nvidia (130), and Hewlett Packard (115). While there is no way to know whether these companies sponsored employees located in Silicon Valley, as opposed to another office location, it is clear that high-tech and Silicon Valley are standouts on the list of H-1B employers.

Those who assume the H-1B is a tool used primarily by IT companies may be surprised to see the number of prestigious universities and medical facilities also nearing the top of the list. H-1B visas are work visas for professional workers who typically require at least a Bachelor's degree for entry into their profession. This includes teachers, professors, doctors, and scientists in addition to engineers.

The first two pages of the list are below:

Hold on there. Why exactly do you need to file EAD and AP now? Once you get 140 and 485 receipt notice, you can apply online yourself. Then you will get your own EAD to your own home.

Then the questions is - would you be able to get a copy 140 and 485 receipt notice from him?

Thinking out loud - Probably you can change the address by calling USCIS or by filing AR-11 (you may need receipt number to do this).

Democrats are on a dual strategy here. By backing farm labor they are trying to get the votes of the latinos. By not allowing this to wade in to other skilled jobs they are keeping their union members protected.

Democrats should be seen to be what they are. If you live in CA, you must e-mail Diane and ask her why she is discriminating against Indians, Chinese, Fillipinos etc.

By the time amendments are added the bill will be too heavy to pass in the senate and there will be no legislation passed! I am almost at the point of writing to my senators to vote against the bill!

its all politics for votes...

HI,

My EB2 perm labor was approved recently and thinking of filing I 140.
Trying to port my EB3 PD, 09/23/2003 to EB2.

I missed filing I 1485 for my wife in july 2007.

My question is if I go ahead and file I 140 premium for me , lets say it gets approved soon ,my dates will be current.Should I file I 485 for my wife then ?

What happens if they approve my I 485 before I file my wife's 485.

Hello!

I am in USA since the year 2005 on H1B with company A. I have spent more than 5 years in H1B and during Jan-2010 i changed my status to L1A. Now i have spent nearly 9 months in L1A and a total of 5.9 years in US. Now i am likely to get a job in company B. My questions are :

1. Is it possible for me to change from L1A to H1B again?
2. If it is possible to change from L1A to H1B, Is my 9 months spent on L1A will be added to my H1B quota of 6 six years? (i.e i already spent 5 years in H1B and and 9 months in L1A).
3. If this 9 months is NOT added to my H1 then i am okay but if it is added, will that be a constraint for me to apply for green card in company B. please advise.

thanks

You'll always have very limited DOF in macro situations. That's why real macro lenses (ex. the Micro-Nikkors) are optimised to give good results even when stopped down a lot.

It is their error and mistake. There is no time to correct. So, officer should understand.

becuase, his / her previous approval notices / I-94 copy on approval notice - the lower left part and I-94 the lower right part should have correct start and end dates. he can carry them.

In my son's I-94, the one previous to the lat/latest one, his country of citizenship was notes as Oman (and not India). During the last renwal, it was corrected to India. My attorney placed a note.

I went to Vancouver, BC in March 07 and got H1s stamped.

Any other experiences. Please, take a moment and share.

Hi all,

This is for my friend who got his 3 year H1- B extension recently.
He planned to visit India for stamping and already booked the air ticket + consulate appointment.

But the Visa validity start date in his I-797A is incorrect. He joined this company only in 2006 but the start date shown in I-797A is sometime in 2001.
Though the END date is correct, Is it going to cause any problem in his Visa stamping?
He got only 2 weeks to fly and skeptical about the turnaround timeframe to file for correction.

His lawyer says it is a very minor problem and will not affect the visa stamping.

Please share any similar experiences / ideas.

Thanks a lot
