Now, as the AOS is filed, will it make a difference later on - filing AOS under EB2 would have got him the Green Card ealier?


Similar case. My lawyer told me that we can't apply the second I140 under premium because the original labor is gone with the first I140. So, I could not wait for second I140 and went ahead and filed for 485 under EB3.

Hi,
I have a question regarding changing L1 to H1-B visa. If someone comes to US on an L1 visa can he/she change to H1-B visa without going back to India and getting the new H1-B visa stamped? What is the process to remain in the US and changing the status from L1 to H1? Will

Again, I assume that in order to change from L1 to H1-B the H1-B cap rule applies.

Yes, you can do a change of status (COS) from L1 to H1 without going back to India for Visa stamping. Your H1 will come under the annual 65,000 H1 cap, as you might know the cap of this year is already over, you can apply for this COS come April 1 2008 and you can start working October 1 2008 with your H1. Please note you CANNOT start working for a new employer by just receiving a receipt number for your COS. You will need to get the actual H1-B approval notice. While applying for the COS you will also need to show you are currently employed and this can be done by submitting two most recent pay checks along with your other papers. Hope this helps!!

Hi,

I just saw on DOL website that my PBEC labor has been approved, on the other hand my old i-140 is stuck in NSC filed Sept 9th, 2006 EB3.

My question is how can i port my old PD? Should i wait for the old i-140 to be approved and then file for the new one or is there a way i can use the old i-140 later on during the 485 filing time to port the PD?

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

USCIS has announced that it has redesigned the Permanent Resident Card (green card) with enhanced security features - and a "new" color. For many years the card has been white, pink before that, and green a long time ago.


The new security features are described as follows:
Secure optical media will store biometrics for rapid and reliable identification of the card holder. Holographic images, laser engraved fingerprints, and high resolution micro-images will make the card nearly impossible to reproduce. Tighter integration of the card design with personalized elements will make it difficult to alter the card if stolen. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) capability will allow Customs and Border Protection officers at ports of entry to read the card from a distance and compare it immediately to file data. Finally, a preprinted return address will enable the easy return of a lost card to USCIS.
Existing card holders don't need to do anything. They will get new cards as they apply for renewals or replacements in the normal course.


For more information, see the USCIS press release (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=79bd3893c4888210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) and the fact sheet (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=34233893c4888210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD).

Can anyone please comment ?

You should not apply 6 months in advance. You should apply 3 months in advance because if you do 6 months they might approve in a month from the date you applied and the new ead will start from the day it gets approved. Applied 6 months in adv and now lost the rest of the months of current ead. Dont listen to the customer service guys they dont know anything. They told to apply 6 months in adv and when I called them after approval they were helpless to even replace it for the actual term.

Currently my wife is on H4

I'm planning to file H1 for my wife (through another employer on April 1st, 2009). Regardless of the situation (H1B Cap lottery process or general process) if my wife's H1B petition is accepted, processed and approved (generally betwen April 15th 2009 and May 31st 2009), she will get work permit (with start date of Oct 1st, 2009) by May or mid June, 2009.

My company is also planning to file for my H1 Extension (along with H4 Extension) in April (cannot be filed it seems due to other cases) So, in this scenario if my H1 extension (along with my wife's H4 extension) is filed after April 1st 2009, then we will have an overlap situation (as USCIS will be receiving two petitions (one for H1 and one for H4) for my wife) in the same timeframe. How will USCIS deal with these scenarios?

As long as her H4 is approved before her H1 (if she gets through lottery and approval process), there won't be a problem (as H1 will be replacing her H4 to my understanding).

But if her H4 is approved after her H1B approval, then there is a risk that her H1B will be cancelled because of H4 approval.

Please let me know solution to this problem. Thanks in Advance

Hope your issue is already resolved. But a friend of mine, his PERM application was also denied. But they filed an Appeal and immediately, next day, they applied for his H1-B extension (7th yr) and it got approved.

Thanks a lot guys !
It was a long journey and I wish the same result to everyone else waiting.

Would it say document production and oath ceremony if it were denied?

I think if the current H1B is expired, he has to apply transfer from India to a different company and go for VISA again ....

What Happens to my H1B if I am Abroad?
�MurthyDotCom
Questions arise on the topic of traveling abroad, or come from those who are outside the United States. An individual might have had an H1B filed by an employer, but for one reason or another, never entered the U.S. or worked for the employer. One might have been in the U.S. as an H1B employee at some point, but then left the U.S. to live abroad. People such as these ask about getting their H1Bs transferred from companies where they either never worked or are no longer working. Since there is no transfer, there is no concern about this issue. If one is abroad, the new company must file a new H1B petition. There is no pay stub problem in connection with the petition for a person living abroad, since there is no possibility of an extension of H1B status when the individual is not in the United States. (Lack of proper pay records may be an issue at the consulate in connection with an H1B visa application for one who was in the U.S. as an H1B employee, but was not being paid the required prevailing wage.) The H1B employee would need a new visa, if the earlier H1B visa stamp had expired.

Thanks for the reply. But I have not yet received the approval. I have just received the receipt of H1B transfer application, and I am worried if they would not approve H1B transfer application since middle name has a typo. Please reply.

Hi immigration Gurus,

I am in kind of situation where I need the guidance from the experts and knowledgeable . I was working for a company A(IT Product development company) who filed my GC around FEB 2007 in EB2, Aug 2007 filed my I140 and I485 concurrently, In Oct 2008, I left the A Company and moved to Company B on H1B,the company B immigration lawyers did not file AC21, as there reason was we don't want to get unnecessary attention on the GC process and told if any any RFE we will look at it, right now I got a good offer with Company C and have to move for a better medical insurance. Looking at the GC Labour petition, it is given as a product manager with the Company A and the OES code is pointing to some manufacturing production manager as there is no such as product manager in the computer OES code. Right now the company C I am moving is a Technical Lead position, so how to go about or is there any advice for this, if I am moving on the EAD and how to file the AC21 so that I don't get any RFE.

Your guidance is greatly apprecaite.

Thanks,
Jumanji

Hello,
Assuming a 40 hr/week position, a person works 2080 hours per year. The Annual Salary for a $46/hr position is $95680/year.

Also, if you only have annual salary for the new position, you could convert to hourly by dividing by 2080.

But I wouldn't even worry about all this. Just send in the annual salary figure (just for your own satisfaction make sure it is more than $46 per hour) and USCIS will figure out the rest.

Hope that helps.

Actually if you factor in 10-12 holidays and about 20 VC days it will come to roughly 1824 hours a year or roughly 152hr/month avg.

I am about to mail the documents for my EAD and AP renewal.

Current Residence: Missouri

Could someone please verify the filing addresses for a FEDEX delivery.

EAD filing Address:
Nebraska Service Center
850 S. Street,
Lincoln, NE 68508-1225

AP filing Address:
USCIS Nebraska Service Center
P.O. Box 87131
Lincoln, NE 68501-7131

Addresses are OK, but can you send FEDEX to P.O. Box?

Looks like you're honing your PS skills on the b/w-color combo. Nice work.
