1. Will your company keep your 140 alive? Meaning, will they withdraw it - I know a lot has been said about 140 PD being yours once approved and blah blah, but no one seems to report that they have successfully ported their 140 date to a new 140 application. This is strange but true. So I will make it doubly sure with my company.

2. Uscis might ask why your company is sponsoring two 140s for the same individual - your company should be prepared to answer that. This is exactly why my company refuses to reapply for the GC process for the same individual (it really raises a question of intent). Again, can be done, but needs full support from company


Rest should be ok.

Can anyone suggest a good Immigration attorney in Bay area.
This is for one time personal consultation ( not phone consultation). Any idea about the charges for such a consultation.

Thanks you

^^^^^^^^^^^

I dont directly work with attorney, the company works so by the time the information gets relayed its taking time.

Let me start my saying that H-1B status and H-1B visa are, somewhat related, but two different things.

If you are currently in the US on H-1B status, and your H-1B status is about to expire, then your employer needs to file a I-129 petition for extension, with a new LCA, to the USCIS. You can do premium processing, and have the response from the USCIS in 15 calender days.

Once you have the approval notice of your extension, you can go to your home country, or Canada or Mexico, and apply for a new H-1B visa.

Though it is your employer's application, you are legally allowed to pay the $1000 for premium processing.
Some posts suggest that it is entirely your employer's headache, but to be honest, it really doesn't work that way, especially if you work for a small company that is not very well versed with the process.

If this post helps you, I would appreciate if you could give us a hand in our ongoing efforts (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16506)!

Good morning all of you:
If you had the experience of renewing your H1B visa could you please advise how is the process?
Thank you for any feedback .

so you are saying that it took 1 year for USCIS to send you NOID?
you'd mentioned 140 withdrawl in dec2009.

AC21 is not mandatory in my opinion ( my lawyer's too) , I changed job this Aug
saw a soft LUD on my 4 years ago approved 140 after changing jobs..it been 3 months to the soft LUD.
seeing your pattern looks like they may send some letter but have not got any yet.

IMO: 7th Year extn can be filed if PERM is pending for more than 365 days or if I-140 is approved.

Friends;
I am posting this on behalf of my friend who is on H1 (6th year expiring in Dec, 2011). His labor is yet to be filed and in this connection we have a question. Process has been initiated by employer and tentatively labor will be filed in June, 2011. Hoping that he will be done with labor or I-140 by November would he be eligible for 7th year H1 extension?
Thanks

but we sent out the application package on June 28 (Friday) and the USCIS received our package on July 1st (Based on the Fedex tracking record). There is no way that my employer can refer to the new prevailing wage databse, which is released on July 1st.

What's cooking ?

Last year, When I filed I-485/EAD/AP, I wrote the check in favor of DHS (abbreviated) and it was accepted.

hey guys,

i send in my i-140/i485 along with those for my wife. as luck will have it, I forgot to include her sealed i-693. i am planning to send it tomorrow with a cover letter. is that okay? is there anything else I can do?

I will appreciate any help.

thanks

According to USCIS FAQ 14, 485 can be filed without medical examination report. You will get a RFE instead of rejection

What was your own LC PD? Nothing personal just out of curiosity...


LC Sub/EB2 with PD June 2001 filed on July 27 with RD of Sept 8 got approved y'day. 140 filed on July 5th was approved on jan. no RFE, all were smooth.

I was afraid because of my last years on L1B and filed H1b though this year quota and not sure if i'm lucky to have a number lottery. This gave me major relaxation.

Best of luck you all.

Had 1 Soft LUD on Jan 31 on 485 application.

USCIS is doing a great job thank to IV to make these possible.

If the H-1 was filed as a COS you will have to join the H-1 company on October 1, as you will no longer be on L-1 on that date. If you H-1 is filed for consular processing, then you dont have to worry, whenever you are ready you can go to the consulate in your home country, get a visa and come back on H-1b status.

I prefer raster to vector! In vector mode colours are different!

Dear experts,

Please comment and/or suggest.

Thanks,

thank u all. I will do the education evaluation. No need of taking risk/getting RFE

I have got my EAD, and my application was filed in EB3, 2005 in perm.
With the kind of speed USCIS is working with, I fear I would never get my GC.

Whereas My brother is a Citizen. Can it be possible that he files family based GC for me ?
I have read that for family based applications they regard the priority date as date of filing I-130.
If I do so, will my current process be wiped off ?
what are the repurcussions.
Please advice.

It does not wipe out any thing. But PD for Brother/Sister of Citizens ( 4th Category) is 04/15/1998. EB3 is better then that. Just apply I-130 in case.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Great work Chandu and team!

Do I need to provide any proof during the interview stating he is my step son? or the documents between the mother and the son will suffice?

Proof that he is biological son of your wife (birth certificate).

Not a legal advice.

We filed our 485 on July 2nd 2007 at Nebraska office � EB3 � July 7, 2001

- The case was shifted to Texas and we received notices from Texas office with receipt date of August 27.

- Our date is now current however processing at Texas is still stuck at June 27, 2007.

- Does this mean our RD is now 08/27/07 even though it was recd. at Nebraska on 07/02/07??

Unfortunately yes - RD Aug 27, you can confirm this by looking at your receipt notice that you got from your attorney.
