You will get your I-20 stamped with the start date. Also there will be a approval date on your I-797, which would be when your status becomes effective.

Hi,

I was a Donor few of months ago. Since last month, I am not able to see Donor forum or see my membership as "Donor". Wondering if there are any changes made to qualify one as "Donor"?

Thanks

Could you check and see if your subscription has expired.

Hello,

I (Indian citizen) am on H1B and wife is on H4 (Canadian citizen). If we plan to get some franchisee and invest money from our savings, will she be eligible for E2 visa and work as an owner?

Thank you!

Keep monitoring the visa bulletin and when your date (Dec-2006) becomes current you can apply for your wife's 1485 (means u can add her to your application).


If last year's trend continues then you might see your dates becoming Current during the last quater (July-Sept)...last year dates reached Aug.2006 for Eb2 India before retrogressing.






Hey Gurus,
I am in confusion here.
I applied for my I-485(EB2, PD= Dec,2006) in july 2007. I was married that time and my wife was in India. She didnt get delhi consulate appointment so i missed her while i applied for my I - 485. Now she is in US on H4 visa. I got RFE last month on my I 485 regarding employment verification. I have replied for RFE.

My Question here is:-
If I get my green card(that chances are very less because my PD are not current... but on safe side), How i can add her into GC or 485 stage.

Folks,
I need to find document or URL which states that "Employer is responsible to pay for H1B extension for its employee" OR it is illegal for employee to pay for H1B extensions.

Could somebody help me find that document/memo? I am trying to google it as well.

I need to submit this to my HR urgently (Red tape process :-( ). I will very much appreciate if somebody has the link/doc/memo handy and point me to it.

Thanks a lot in advance

Probably not. Perhaps worst case is RFE, which can be easily answered in your case.

well my responsibility would change from technical to more managerial stuff, in that case I can not move EAD?

Can we change job using AC21(I-140 approved , I-485 pending for more than 180 days ) on H1 without using EAD.(so that future wife can come on H4 )

Hello,
According to my knowledge the majority of name checks submitted are electronically checked and returned to the submitting agency as having "No Record" within 48-72 hours. The processing time for FBI name checks usually take from 30-120 days but timing does vary from case to case. The FBI�s intention is to have all visa requests processed within 120 days. Most name check requests that are over 60 days old are the result of the time required to retrieve and review field office record information. Any case which is not processed within this time frame is usually delayed because of a potential "hit" which will be further reviewed manually.

Hi Guys,

I didn't find such a thread in my search. If you thing there is already one please delete this.

I want to start a thread for tracking cases which were transfered from one place to other and to estimate that if we are getting in the back of the queue OR receipt date is acknowledged.

My I 485 transfered from TX to CAL and now to NEBRASKA.

131 AND 765 says received and pending at California

package was received at Texas on 23rd July and Cal center issued notice on Sep 24.

Please let me know if anyone has similar case.

Thanx.

Hello,

Can someone tell me about the final interview for the EB based GC process.

1) Does everyone get called for an interview or is it done on selected cases based on individual factors?

2) When is it generally done? Prior to approval of your 485 or prior to the issue of your visa(GC).

3) Why is it done and what kind of questions can one expect during the interview?

Thanks

Lasantha

A couple acquaintances have gone through the process. Some Australians were given a lot of grief when the person accused them of coming from Antigua or some little Island. It was obviously a typo on their part--they have obvious Aussie accents. He accused them and accused them. They didn't give and the officer gave up. Officer 0, immigrants 1.

Another woman was asked if she's planning on staging a terrorist attack. (She's French.) She said something like "If I was, would I tell you?" and then had to wait an extra year as the officer said they were done. Officer 1, immigrants 0

Remember spouses birth dates, etc.

So even if they ask idiot questions, and they probably will, don't make any jokes or anything. Be firm, formal, and polite. Behave as you wish they would.

I am number 4.
Thanks for the info.

Thanks mhathi for your response.

How long ( no of days) does the USCIS California center takes to decide the case for Fresh H1( F1- H1) RFE after requested documents were submitted before deadline under premium processing category.

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 H-1B status started on 10/1/05, then your 6th year is 9/30/11, as you suggest. By 9/2011 your LC will, have been pending for 365 days so you can get a 7th year extension. Maybe the attorney thinks that August 2010 is the end of your 6th year. You should confirm the dates with her/him.

You cannot request a H-1B extension more than 6 months before the start date. For example, if you want the new H-1B to start on 8/15/10, your employer cannot file before 2/16/10.

I am not sure if Attorney is allowed to sign on place where it says : "APPLICANT"

u may have to give written permission/Notarized for that...

By signing Form G28, u are only authorizing the attorney to represent u in this case...not sign for u.

Yes, I got a similar letter last week. I posted about it earlier.

My application was received on July 3 at NSC. Till now, I haven't received any notices. I got the RNs by calling USCIS.

Now, I placed an expedite order on my EAD on Friday. They sent me a mail saying my app was received on Oct 10 and not July 3 (yeah right! if it was oct 10, why would you even accept it?). So I faxed them the fedex delivery signature confirmation. Today I see a LUD on my EAD app but nothing else has changed.

Can anyone shed some light on what might possibly going on here? I can probably wait for some more time to find out for sure but I am curious. Guys with approved EAD - did you see a LUD on your app before it was approved?

Thanks

Iam a july 2nd filer at NSC and haven't received my receipt numbers yet. can I ask you when you got your receipt numbers? Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Anyone who received their Advance Parole Approvals, from NSC, who filed their I-485/AP etc on July 2nd?

Thanks.
Is there a time-frame after which one can contact the USCIS office for advance parole (like the 90 day time-period for the EAD card)?

I have received my green card 5 months ago and still working for the same GC filing employer(a consulting company). My wife had an RFE on her GC, since she could not take MMR at 2007 fiasco time. We have recently replied with the evidence. Now my project is getting over at the client site in next couple of weeks. I am sure that I can lose my job at consulting company also.
My question is, what happens to wife's GC? What if there is another RFE and how can I reply it?
Please let me know my options.

BTW - change your user id to GC_EB2_Received
!!!!! Just Kidding.

If you are lucky, your 485 case may continue without issues for next 1 year. (this is a high possibility). After 1 yr, once you come back, there may not be any issues if there is no RFE / Interview.

Problem with 485 may arise later if there is RFE / Interview and you are asked for paystubs/W2 for this period.

There is certainly some risk involved to your 485. Given that RFE / Interview comes for only a small percentage, this risk is not very high. Also, RFE / Interview doesn't necessarily collapses your case, but this will be a sticky wicket in that case.
