Thanks Kirupa,
Just to make sure we don't have our wires crossed... I am talking about running code in the background while designing. Is that how you understood my question? Does your answer still apply?

Sorry but I just reread my question and realized it was not very clear.

Hello All,
I am going to India and have to go for stamping. I come under Chennai consular district but planning to go to Delhi because of high rejection rate in Chennai.

First thing, I am not sure if I can go to Delhi when I come under Chennai consular district.

Second thing is, should there be a valid reason with supporting documents for attending the visa appointment in Delhi instead of Chennai.

Your thoughts and experiences on the above points would be very helpul for me in resolving this issue. Thanks a lot.

Why not any of the consulates in Mexico ( Juarez, nogales, el paso etc). If you have all the documents related to your employment and are able to prove you are still working and necessary for your job you should get your visa. It all depends on the documents presented and some of it on your luck

- good luck

It's not an engine, it's an S&S V-Twin power house. I didn't realize we were being judged on the complexity of font used.... I must have missed that part in the rules.
No, everybody chooses fonts at his/her own will.

Each month visa bulletin is preceded with a demand data. So bulletin should come today or tomorrow.


Check out data for China. It shows significant reduction from last month. Expectations are low for India but China will advance a lot in July.

This is done in preparation for the spill over (fall down); they have used up all of "china's own" numbers and now they will actually retrogress EB2 China (to move it along with EB2 India) to distribute spillover (fall down); the VB will come with a "long explanation" as to why the retrogression for EB2 China despite of low demand....

Stay tuned! :)

All,

Anyone can give some input on this ?

I have approved H1b renewal and my wife went to India and got h4 visa based on my approval, I have not stamped yet,

since my wife already got the visa stamped, do you think I need to verify for PIMS ?
or it should have been already verified .

Any idea?

Thanks

How do you verify for PIMS ? I am guessing you are saying that you plan to verify it before going for stamping. I am looking for an answer on how to verify PIMS on your own before going for stamping

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.

:confused:Here is another scenario -
485 filed 1 year back and have been working with the GC sponsoring employer since then ( on H1, did not use EAD).

Employer is not going to revoke approved I-140 even if i change Job/H1.

Now, can i use Advance Parole to travel while working for the new employer on a new H1?

Your inputs are highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Krishna

Hello all,

I am currently on H1B visa working for an IT company. I have got an admit for this Fall to do my MS and I was planning to study using my EAD. Now there seems to be some risk in using my EAD and so I want to apply for F1. I have applied for I-485 (Adjustment of status) along with my husband's green card application.

My question is:

1: Is it a problem to apply for F1 if my I-485 is pending approval ? The reason I ask is, F1 is a Non Immigrant visa and I-485 is for a green card (which is Immigrant visa).

2: Would my F1 application cause my 485 to be denied or vice versa ?

Thanks in advance

And extensions and extensions. No worry. That's it. I am suggesting that the easy way suggested is not the way.

hello all,

i filed my application on july 2nd to nebraska service center. Now i am filing my wife' application using the new updated 485 form. i sent my application to nebraska service center. i live in florida and in the new form i have noticed that they are asking people from florida to send 485 application to texas service center.

i am confused as to where i should send my application. i am attaching a sheet which asks mailroom to attach my wife's new application to already filed my application ( sent on 2nd july with no recepit ).. i am just confused that if i send my application to texas will it get attached to my primary already filed application... any one in same situation or any insite please help.

thanks
-M:confused:
mail to NSC where you have mailed your application,you might have mailed your 485 to NSC since your 140 was approved from there.

This is from my lawyer,

"What Are the Immigration Consequences of the Government Shutting Down?

As Congress continues its budgetary deadlock, the possibility of a government shutdown looms larger by the minute. If Congress is unable to reach accord on Friday, the government will close at midnight, Saturday April 9.

In general, if the government shuts for budgetary reasons, all but "essential" government are furloughed and not allowed to work. So what does this mean for immigration agencies?

USCIS: A couple of shutdown threats back, a USCIS official stated at a stakeholder engagement that USCIS (other than the human touches on E-Verify) would not need to shut down, since all of the agency, other than E-Verify, is funded by fees. However, it is not clear that this is the case, and at least one local office has indicated that it is working on its shutdown plan. We will update as we get more information.

DOS: If there is a shutdown, the result for DOS will likely be the same as it was in the 1996 government closing. Then, the only visa issuance being done was for some diplomats and for "life or death" situations. As DOS is wont to say "a really, really important business meeting is not life or death."

CBP: Inspection and law enforcement are considered "essential personnel," though staffing may be more limited than usual. The borders will be open, and CBP is unsure of how the shutdown will affect the processing of applications filed at the border.

EOIR: EOIR has been advised to "put its shutdown plans in place." As with other agencies, personnel who are not considered "essential" will be furloughed. EOIR has indicated that the detained docket would likely be considered an essential function and would therefore be able to continue in operation.

DOL: DOL is making plans for a possible shutdown. If there is a shutdown, DOL personnel will not be available to respond to e-mail or other inquiries. We do not know at this point whether iCERT/PERM would continue to function. However, because the systems require funding to run, practitioners should assume that they would not be available."

idark, not to criticize, especially since I haven't submitted anything yet, but can't you do something better than a continuous gradation on the background? The animal/guy just deserves better. (that's a complement :D)

Hi
I planning to use AC 21 from Next week, I plan to call my parents in July 2008, What should I mention as my Immigration Status in Invitation letter.

As I will not be on H1B and neither I have Green Card ?

I talked to lot of people about using AC21, nobody is clear.
Since you confirmly mentioned that you'll invoke AC21 next week, could you inform us as you proceed further in this process. Please remember you are helping the whole community.
PS: Sorry I could not answer your question.

Hi,

Any experience with this law group for EB based GC ? Please do post. Thank You !

Hello All,

Need you guys expert advise on a problem that I have just found.

I was on L1 since 2007 and in 2008 got my H1B visa done. Since I was in the US during september and october 2008, I changed my company who held my H1B as of 1st October,2008. I dont have an H1B stamp on my passport as I have not been out of the US.

It was only yesterday that I realised I had a I-797B approval notice, which from what I read yesterday, means that I have a petition approved but without I-94.

Now my L1 I-94 on my passport is valid till November 2010.

Need your help to understand if I have an issue here for the fact that I have worked with my employer who holds my H1B for the past 9 months.


If so what are the challenges that I have and the solutions for them.

Also has anyone been in the same situation.

Would greatly appretiate your help in this.


It is necessary to get more information from you in order to give you a specific answer. If possible please call me or e-mail me in detail with exact dates.

Why do you think that will happen..

I am guessing that if you 140 is approved (which is company based), then you are good because 485 is based entirely on the applicant..
