1.) What time is it taking to get a receipt by USICS? (NON Premium Processing - I�m in NY City - so probably Vermont Center)
==> It took me two weeks. I applied in Vermont center too.

2.) Do we have any rule in written (Official), that as soon u apply for transfer, without getting the receipt; you can work for the new employer?
(So I can show it to my new employer)
==> Afaik, I think you need to have receipt to start working. (2 weeks).


4.) What is the time taken for the H1 Paper, to be delivered after receipt, by USICS?
==> 2-3 months for non-premium.

I was just wondering if they stall the 485 processing once they issue an RFE on EAD. Would they hold the case in abeyance or are these two mutually exclusive.
Btw, am not sure of the reason for RFE yet.

Has anyone had their 485 approved with an RFE pending on EAD or AP?

EB2-I
PD: June 2004
I140 Approved: Aug 2006
485 RD: July 26, 2007
RFE on EAD: Aug 6, 2008


What's RFE about?

We have done FP thrice and they took finger prints of tips (the top 1/3 ) of th fingers. They did not took finger prints of whole hand. But for us they took finger prints of both left and right hand fingers.
Hello,

i feel down recently and i scraped my hand on the concrete, and i am worried about finger printing which i have soon. My palm is scratched mostly and smy fingers on my left hand are also scratched, most of my right hand is okay but there are some scratches too.

Do they take prints of the whole hand or just the index finger?

Thank you

Hi All,
I just joined a new company and would like to use AC21 as I will be working on EAD. 140 is approved and 485 is pending for more than 180 days. New job is same or similar as per ONET job code.

My question is,

Is it necessary to involve your attorney or you can simply go ahead and file AC21 yourself?

I would like to what others have done? What kind of extra fees your attorney has charged for AC21?

Thanks

There is nothing called AC21 filing ie AC21 does not have a form that you fill out etc.... generally Attorneys attach the docs with a covering letter citing the AC21 clause and from what I understand, these docs may/may not get into your file.

The advantage of using an Attorney is,
(1) G28 filing - Attorney will get communication and be in position to respond or guide appropriately
(2) NOID, RFE and denials might happen and MTR may have to be filed.

Most times, issues arise when old employer withdraws the 140 petition.

USCIS needs to have a better way of handling this and avoid unnecessary tensions and errors

I have a 4 year college degree from the US and 5 years of experience. I would like to know when they say 5 years of progressive experience does also that include an increase in salary over the five years? My previous employer paid me 60kper anum but my new employer is paying me 55k per anum. There is drop in salary by 5 thousand. Will this affect my application. Please advise. Thanks much!

This law only applies to H1-B filing fees paid to USCIS. Your employer is still legally allowed to collect any attorney fees for filing your petition from you.

Hi Guys,
Please participate in this poll

TSC is not processing most EB3 I485. This is not supposed to be revealed publicly. It is wrong, so that's why I'm speaking out.

Nice nick name :)

Dear Gurus,

Is it possible to file I-140 under premium processing with substitute EB3 labor?

Refer processing times at https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC and search for "All other applicants for advance parole". Right now they are processing July 03, 2007 cases.

Hi,

Got a 1-797 Notice of Action today in Mail for my pending I-485 and the Notice Type: WELCOME NOTICE: SECTION: Adjustment as direct beneficiary of immigrant petition.

In the details section it says" Welcome to United States"...your application for permanent residence has been approved...we will soon mail you a new Permananet Resident Card....


HOWEVER, the online status still shows "Case pending" and NO LUD update.

1. Any reason to get concerned as the online case status still show it as Pending altough I see approval in Mail Notice?

2. Should i call customer service?

3. How long typically the card in mail takes?

Strange.

My welcome notice was generated last Thursday and no online update yet.

Interesting that both me and my wife got welcome notice in mail and neither me nor my wife LUD is updated nor any emails notification

Anyone else - any thoughts?

Hi,

EB2 India PD = Oct 2003 I -140 approved = July 2006

I -485 ND = July 10

When 140 is denied, then 485 is also denied. Appeal going to AAO is common thing. Will sit there forever. Its takes approximately 12-20 months to get a reply.
Mine is already crossed 12 months now.

Hope this helps.

We are happy and proud to anounce that we are a 3000+ members family now. Kudos to the all the members for the hard work and perseverance. We are happy with what we have achieved so far and are confident & determined to do our best in the future. I want to quote Sunil on this

'I can sooo clearly remember when we just got started off, and we had only couple threads on our forums. We had only 6-8 members.

We were posting stuff on the forums just to get some content out there so people can see some activity. Hard to believe we have close to 600 threads now.

This is something everyone should be proud of'

Freddy, these shots look like something from the set of a horror movie. Hard to imagine they're real. Nice photos, in a somewhat disturbing way.
