They might accept the application but send in an RFE with a request to pay the difference ;)


Wish USCIS accepts applications after 27th and ask for the fee difference .. Win Win for all if the fee was the concern for USCIS .. hehe:D :D

.... for 4 years. It was expiring in Dec 2009 and they renewed it till Dec 2013. No questions asked about immigration status at all. I did have to show a utility bill to show my new address and that was it. Paid $10 and got my license.

Chicago rocks!

Hello

I have got done my medical exam required for adjust of status.
My doc gave me only a single sheet of page in a sealed envelop to send to the USCIS for the purpose.
My QUESTION is, is it only one page to be submitted in the sealed envelop, as the form doesnt have any of my passport details or reciept numbers for the form 140's/485

He has only given me page 3 of the attached file, is that sufficient?

Please advice as i have recieved an RFE for this in January and have to submit it in a timely manner.

Thanks.

whowho! one more day and we will see the finalists :D
I'm excited :D

Hi ,
my experience with O visa is that paperwork, presentation, previous track record of the lawyer with USCIS is critical

so in this case, absorbing the 5000 cost difference may be a good idea

Of course you can always ask your employer if they are willing to take that hit but as you know you have a 50 % chance there at the best

So decision is yours

Hi
I have similar situation with my EAD renewal too, my employer filed my EAD renewal, my I-485 case is pending in TSC (txed from NSC) but my renewal was sent to NSC, when enquired, following is the response I received back from my companies Immigration group,

"Renewal applications are filed based on the location of your residence, as per CIS requirements"

I am based out of MN, hence NSC.

Hope this helps.

Go to near by ASC, mostly they will do it.

Mine also same postion, I got my FP appointment for 11/13 at chicago but I went to LA ASC on 10/25 surprisingly they didn't bothered about date ,time and place they taken my finger prints right away. So go to near ASC. best of luck.

Hi,

I have a question. I have H1B valid till 2012 under company A and I am working for company A now. Company B is offering me part time employment and they transferred existing H1B transfer. Now I have two H1Bs after transfer, literally. Am I correct? Now I am eligible to work for both the companies. Am I correct?

There is nothing called H1-B *transfer*. Each employer does a brand new petition. Once the second petition is approved (and you got I-94, etc.), your status depends on how the second petition was filed:

(i) If the second petition was filed as concurrent, then you can work for both the employers.
(ii) Otherwise, you can work only for one employer.

So you need to know how Company B filed their petition.

Hi, I wanted to know if it is possible for me to maintain my H1 status (and my wife's H4) status while re-entering the US using I-131 Advance Parole document without a valid H1 visa stamp in my passport.

Here's my situation: -
1. I have been on H1 status for the past 6+ years.
2. My current employer filed for an H1 renewal/extension petition for years 7-9 which has been approved and we have the approval notice.
3. My wife's H4 renewal petition has also been approved.
4. We both have filed for I-485 Adjustment of Status which is pending with USCIS due to retrogression.
5. Our H1 & H4 visa stamps in the passport expired in September of 2009.
6. We are planning to leave the US for about a month in Nov-Dec and do have valid I-131 documents for purposes of re-entering.

At the port of entry, can we show our H1/H4 approval notices to the IO and request that he stamp our new I-94s for a H1/H4 status?

Thanks

Showing H1/H4 notice will lead to confusion and @POE, officer will not issue I-94 per H1/H4 notices. Rather, you show your AP and re-enter the country, and your I-94 will be issued as Parolee w/ the validity of 1 year. You can still work for your H1B employer in H1 status and continue to renew when it expires. My 2 cents.

Why you take lawyer's help for this simple thing. ?
Almost everybody renewed EAD/AP by themselves.
EAD/AP filings must go to your I-485 processing center.
I think, if the lawyer send to wrong center, it will redirect to the correct center, there will be a time delay for this.


Same here! Our lawyer send our EAD,AP renewals to NSC,even though my 485 is pending at TSC(Last July got transferred from NSC).Till far no LUDs no any thing regarding them.I applied on June 30th and till far no update.Is this normal?

Hello Folks:

This long wait for Green Card has made me think about a number of things...

A few days back a couple of my friends have recieved notices from USCIS are sending notices 'Intent to Deny their I-485' w/o any rhyme or reason. Employer says they have not withdrawn their I-140. They said they will appeal but if nothing happens they will go back to India.

Just worried...if this happens to me and I am forced to go out of the country in 30 days, what happens to my US loans. I do not think I would be able to repay back my home & car loans with an Indian salary if I return. In this market I can only sell at a huge loss. I also used US Line of credit for education purposes. Do I need to file bankruptcy? I am on a EAD right now...

Any thoughts on this... greatly appreciate ....it

Guys, have not heard any thing about my I-140 PP.
I was mailed on 03/23 thru DHL. Is it normal. I was thinking they will approve it in 5-15 days?

Any one who recently filed concurent?

You have a valid point and I hope that IV planners take note of this.

Hi stephsh - does it have to be HTML?

Looking at your example, it looks like you are trying to display special characters as text. That can be done by just fiddling with encodings, so if you want, I can provide some additional information on that.

You need approved EAD. apart from waiting for 180 days. You also need I-140 APPROVED. If you have just recently applied for EAD (2 weeks ago) Do not expect it till atleast early April. It is taking them more than 90 days to approve EAD.
WAIT till you get EAD Approved AND I-140 Approved. Research about AC21 and how you can take advantage of that. Read up threads on AC21. It is going to be a longer wait than you thought.

Jazz great work with the blog. Thanks!

I just found out that my employer did not update the work location on my LCA. I have been working in new jersey for over 4 years now. I have my primary address as Indiana and my company is registered in Illinois. I got payroll on Illinois for 2 years and now NJ for 1 year. How can i correct this? Is it too bad a problem already?

I don't know what location was listed on the LCA, but since you moved before a new LCA was filed, the employer needs to file a H-1B amendment to correct the situation. If there was a new LCA filed before you moved, no H-1B amendment would have been needed.

"The mission of Immigration Voice is to organize grassroots efforts and resources to solve several problems in the employment based green card process including (a) delays due to Retrogression (visa number unavailability for certain employment-based categories) (b) delays due to USCIS processing backlogs and (c) delays due to Labor Certification backlogs. We will work to remove these and other flaws by supporting changes to immigration law for high-skilled legal employment-based immigrants. High-skilled legal immigrants strengthen the United States' economy and help maintain American technological superiority"

Yes with the media attention, there is some stigma to H1 ... we are asking to
remove/reduce the long DELAYS
Good point prince

Recently I joined new company using AC21. When I joined this new company, my new company told me that they will not handle any immigration matter but will provide with necessary documents if needed. So, I asked my previous attorney to continue my case and he prepared letter for AC21 and sent to USCIS. Now, after couple of weeks, now the lawyer from my new company sent me G-28 form to fill, which is technically to switch the attorney and telling me that this new attorney will be sending AC21 documents again. But my new company is not doing G-28 for my wife. So, now I am in delemma whether to file G-28 and switch the attoney and send AC21 documents again.

Is it advisable to stay with old attorney as he had all the original documents and whatever being sent to USCIS OR switch to new attorney appointed by new company. This new attorney also saying that most of the time G-28 form will never make to USCIS I485 case and will get lost in mailroom. In that case all the correspondence will still goto old attorney. So, I wasn't sure what is safest and best way to handle this.

From my prospective, I should be good since my old attorney already sent AC21 documents to USCIS including my apointment letter from new employer with copies of all necessary document. so, Do I need to switch attorney at this stage of Green card (I485). What could be the possible queries in future regarding AC21. My old company is very reputed and they will not revoke my I-140. Similarly my new company is also very reputed. Both are in similar business and my job is similar and both are fortune 100 companies.

My case is EB3 ROW with priority date of March 2006. Now I am working on EAD.

Thanks in advance.

I made an emergency appointment about a year ago to get my h1b stamped at new Delhi. To schedule such an appointment you would need the LIN# of your I-797 ( H1b approval notice ), your US residential and your employer information.

I have a B.E in Electronics (4 years) and an PGDM in IT (2 years) from India but my I140 is denied on the basis that my PGDM School in India would accept 3 years undergrad and thus the education is not equivalent to M.S in US. I did send the educational evaluation along with I140 but the decision was made on the descretion on CIS.

Please advice if I should refile with education evaluation from anothe agency.
