Have you received finger print requests?
yes I did for the I-485 after one or two month since I got my recipt number ...

Is your PD current?
I don't know what is PD stands for !...

Is the Service Center processing I 485 applications around the RD of your 485 application?
I don't know how to check that , because when I click on the checking by the RD of the file in the service center , it doesn't show any I-485 on the list !...

and what is the IV ?

THank you soooo much in adance for all the informatioin.

I paid $350 to my attorney. However there is no filing fee.

I did paper filing (TSC) and got EAD in less then 3 weeks. I filed on 3/7 and got it on 3/26. I think you should get it soon.

Hi
My H1 is due for extension this year end.
Valid period of H1 remaining is 1 1/2 year since extension

I understand that H1 extension has to go through the rigorous procedure nowadays.
It needs client letter stating that project will last for 1 year.
Getting such letter is not possible.

So having I140 approved makes thing easy for H1 extension? Or same process for h1 extension is followed

Please reply

Thanks
Abbey

Same process for a H-1 even if you get an I-140 approval, they may not require the client to say that the project will last for 1 year, i have seen that it is sufficient to say that the project is extendable. Ofcourse you might get an officer who is unreasonable, in which case you can file an appeal, no requirement in the law to ask for an 1 year contract to get a H-1.

coolio!!

Dude,
I don't have 15 mts time to search on forum. I had a question and I asked, Lasantha promptly answered. And you further wasted my time by writing your expert opinion and now I am wasting my time further replying to you. No hard feelings adios!
Pls do not be rude in your responses. How can you expect others to spend time answering your questions if you dont have time for them.
By creating new threads on the same topic you are wasting everyone's time and making it difficult for us to manage the forum. Please understand and spend a few minutes on the forum before you post a question.

I like the story, Freddy.

Hi Softman,

I am in the similar situation too. I don't have my Labor approval copy and I changed my job using AC21. Now I am trying to change my attorney since my ex employee's attorney will not talk to me and all the RFEs will still go to him unless I file a G-28 form. But all the attorneys I talked to is asking for that LCA form from my previous employer.
My question to you is are you able to find an attorney to represent you since you changed the job?..
Inthehole, can you be little bit elaborate, what job code you filled in AC21, how did you know that if you don’t have your Labor copy.

As you have well passed the LC stage, it is very difficult to retain your old PD. Even if DOL send a new LC with old PD, it will be an uphill task to convey this to USCIS your to ammend your already approved 140 with new PD. This new PD information has to be carried over to both I-140 and 485. If you get a new letter/LC from DOL inform the USCIS (both 140 and 485) thro all means, like send a certified mail, inform over phone and take a infopass to correct the PD. Then keep your finger crossed.

HI Folks

The reason for this post is as usual- too much confusion and no clear answers. i read on oh law firm that if you are not in a non-immigrant status i.e are working on EAD, there should be no gap in your EAD while you are working. Meanin you should stop working if your current EAD expires and your new EAD is pending- otherwise its a violation of law and provisions of 245 do not protect you because technically you are NOT a non-immigrant.

Is that true?????

Now, i recently had to go to India for an emergency, and had to come back on AP- did not have time to get my H1b visa stamped. I asked at the immigration counter if my H1b is invalidated and he told me it is. I spoke to my lawyer and she told me if you resume your H1b employment with the same employer- you are back in status- i kinda did not buy that though.

Can someone please shed light. My concern is that my EAD is expired- new one is pinding. Although i was on h1b when i left for India, but came back using AP. Am i breaking a law by working??

thanks

Johnny, you must have a passport. I also suggest that you carry a notarized letter signed by both of your parents that you have their permission to make this journey.

IV is working to make politicians understand our EB relief issues.

The house blocked our EB reliefs for the past years, though there were so many good hearted politicians in both parties. What happended was that people like Lou Dobbs managed to convince certain "powerful" politicians to do nothing about CIR in the house.

I hope newly elected politicians do not get carried away by Lou and do resolve every issue that comes up to the fore.

Add my 2 cents, post office increased the postage to 39 cents long time back. ;)

Thanks for the responses.

Hi,

I have friend who was in US for 7 years (F1->H1) and moved back to India. Later, he came here on B1 for couple of times. What's the best option for him if he wants to come back to US to work full time.

Thanks in advance.

:) hi guys

just wanted to update my case is approved yesterday and dhs is sent the approval notice so its very fast in my case..

my lawyer filed the case on 17th jan and got approval email 24th jan.. very good.

My case is not premium processing and the online status changed to "approval notice sent " for 4 days before the status changed to " document sent ". Its an I 140 and I heard that the mistake was restricted to PP cases . So I do not think that is the issue . Some one said it could be the last status on an approved I 140

Thanks anyway for the info

No offense to op but this article is as valid as saying visa recapture will PROBABLY happen soon.

Infact if you replace economy with recapture and Bernanke with... well pick any name (Lou Dobbs ?) it would be just as reassuring.

Just seeing from my perspective... no offense intended to anyone.

Good day.



" Wait! Are you prepared for the consequences?" - Me.

Is that normal to have the same I-94 number on my renewed H1B and my wife's H4 approval notices?

Seems it is a mistake that my old I 94 is given in H4 extension application. Do I need to apply for correction? Any Lawyer / Member, please confirm. Thanks in advance.

I-94 is what determines your legal stay in the US. Since you get an I-94 only during your entry into the US, it is normal to get the same I-94# on any subsequent extension of status applications filed within the US. Your attached I-94s on the I-797 approval notice are proof of your continuous status since your white I-94 cards might be expired. But do keep the original white I-94 cards with you as you are supposed to return them along with the new I-94s attached to I-797 notices, when you leave the country.

EB2
Priority Date- Aug-2005
Got EAD renewal for 2 years

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.

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:


Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the immigration waters again. Transparency, we were promised it. One year into the new administration, however, it remains an elusive concept. That is it did, until yesterday. Yesterday, I saw a poster at the CIS that revealed exactly how the agency views immigration lawyers. It was a poster of small fish in the water being stalked by a large shark. I walked past it and literally did a comic book like double take.

Underneath in comparatively small letters there is a caption that warns people to protect themselves against those who are not authorized to help them. There was no indication or explanation, however, of what that could mean, other than the picture of giant shark.

The subliminal message was both clear and offensive. I dare the agency to say I am reading too much into it. Google �metaphors and similes.� Nine times out of ten the definition includes a lawyer shark comparison/example. Couple this with the daily reports we receive where our clients are told �why do you have a lawyer, your lawyer knows nothing.�

Contrary to the government�s implication, however, immigration lawyers are not predatory. The bulk of immigration lawyers I know, and I know a lot of them, literally agonize over the fates of their clients. They spend hours upon hours trying to assist them through a labyrinth of inconsistent rules, regulations (when we actually get them) and guidance.

AILA works hard to combat immigration fraud and the unauthorized practice of law. It also does all it can to educate 15,000 immigration lawyers about both the law and ethics.

I agree that immigrants need to be wary of perpetrators of immigration fraud. The government, however, should warn of the true predators - those practicing law without a license. Its posters should identify who those individuals are and provide warnings or information calculated to educate about unscrupulous practices. Simply, a broad statement below an icon typically used to vilify attorneys does nothing of the sort.

I am not sure how to depict the government�s purported message in its elaborate seascape. Perhaps a tidal wave depicting millions being thrown back indiscriminately on foreign shores or a lamprey latched onto an unsuspecting gentle manatee. I need to think about it. I take metaphors seriously as they �are dangerous and are not to be trifled with.� Please remove the posters immediately.
