Yep! There is a relation between 485 and H1-B extension after 6 years limit.If your AOS date is current, You only get one year increment else three years extension upon I-140 approval.

Please contact an Attorney for clarification.

I dont think the three year extension has anything to do with 485. If your 140 is approved you get 3 years if there is no visa number is available for you. No need to be U.

hope your name is in english and not in hindi.

RoseBall,, here is my query..Please answer


I got RFE on 140 asking

all my expereince letter proir to 2002 ( I came US in 1999) and By the time I worked with two companys.

Now I got one company exp letter and other one closed and I couldn't able to get the letter. as per sources and attorney advice I am submitting coleague affidavit.

and also they asked me all w2's where I worked only few months in 2004 and w2 amount is not that great.

I am still fearing how do USCIS take in to consideration when they finalise the case.

Do you think all these are substantiate my case , or they may come with another RFE or denial..

Please advise me what I want to do, I haven't submitt my case yet.

Thanks

You should be okay on the exp letters, but it will be your 2004 W2 that may turn out to be an issue.

If you have been without pay from longer than 6 months in 2004, then you have a serious status issue and you will need to check with a good attorney to handle that..

My recommendation is to get a good immi attorney who has handled these kinds of cases before and have them do your paperwork....

Gurus,
I am writing on behalf of a close friend who is too worried to write it for himself.
Case:
He is a July 2007 filer with PD of Nov 2003 and recently had his I485 rejected. Reason - I140 denied and no appeal. However, when he checks his I140 status, it says, its still pending. He had received an RFE on I140 in October 2007 about Employment status and he had submitted all the required evidence. He also is in the same company that filed his labor. The only change he ever made is moving to a new place in the same city. Does anyone have a similar experience? What needs to be done apart from consulting a good immigration attorney? Your advice will be much appreciated.

Well. Even if I140 was denied for no good reason, and your friend files an appeal and it eventually gets approved, his priority date must be current when he re-submits his I485. So, this way or another, he needs to get I140 approved. I140 appeals take a long time. Maybe, he can try to re-do I140? That would be much faster and probably less expensive.

I just spoke to my lawyer. We are considering another point that my high schooling is for 13 years, so if we highlight that in evaluation along with 3 years Bachelor then it might serve the purpose.

USCIS accepts 3 years Bachelor from UK and New Zeland as equivelent to US 4 years, cuz these countries have 13 years high schooling. In my case due to my 3 years diploma(polytechnic) before bachelor, make my 13 years high schooling. Still exploring different points.

Have anyone earlier faced this scenerio? if yes, please share the possibilities.

Shujaat,
Be very careful while drafting your response and choose the right eval agency. I ur case in Nebraska?

My lawyer says there is going to be about 5-10K spillover from Family to employment based. Gurus can you estimate how much dates will move if that happens. I am hoping nothing for EB3 though :(

He said end of year for spillover from family. So I understood as September,
I also asked how many visas a left. He said only about 9 thousand for EB2 in total. They approved a lot this month. Next month more approvals will happen. For EB3 India he said only a couple of hundred are available till end of September.

Article says all pending application ...

"The Labor Department is auditing all pending applications for legal immigrant workers the firm has filed on behalf of its corporate clients."

not website... just the category... thanks for your opinion...

also, title leaves the possibility that the content talks about a creative new business idea... or some creative twist in interpretation of law...

I see nothing wrong with this topic at this website. We had a lot of pressure on GC. The bad economy just made our life worse. We need some high spirit.

And the title clearly indicates that it is not about any specific immigration issue. People don't have to click when not interested.

what case are you talking about ... is it H1 or 485?

-RR

Thank you for your kind words Everybody!!

gc28262: I don't think $485 on AOS is out of the question! It feels like I have been infused with energy and so am able to better focus on career/future.
seahawks: True
pappu: You are welcome

Hello,

I called USCIS Boston Field office today ( 800 # on the FP Notices ) and the Customer Service Rep told me that If we have already given finger prints then we can ignore the second FP notices. But she did not ask for any of our A# or Receipt #. I asked her to pull out my record based on 485 receipt # and verify if the finger prints we gave earlier are correct and we do not have to worry about the second finger prints notices. She said she cannot do that.

SO, I got Infopass appointment for tomorrow. If at all, the officer says tomorrow that I do not have to worry about the second FP notices then what should I do ???

1) Do they send any kind of letter in mail saying I should ignore the second set of FP notices. ( OR )

2) Should I ask for any thing in writing saying that we are good with the finger prints we already gave and do not have to worry about the new notices (OR)

3) Do they put any stamps and write on our new FP original notices saying Finger Prints not required for the second time.


Thank you for letting me know.

If they can endorse in any form on your notice (or other wise give any paper), it will be good for future. Otherwise I have heard that they just tend to say that ignore notice.

In any case keep the record of your visit.

Please update us.

coz...
Many people have started moving from EB3 to EB2 and retaining their priority date.
Many people have started filing in EB2 now as they know the result will be known within 2 to 3 months as PERM is faster.
So the no of cases in EB2 have increased in an alarmin scale after 05.
but still i would choose EB2 instead of EB3 coz the amount of retrogression in EB3 is more compared to EB2
All the best. Hope ur decision really pays off....:)

Real Life :

A friend of mine who went to India's premier institution - IIT in India and then to IIM worked for one of the fortune 100 companies here in the US.
He got married and decided to move to UK because his equally qualified spouse being on a dependent Visa could not work due to the obsolete rules.
Both husband and wife are well on thier way to permanent residency in UK.

Myself and my wife were discussing on this and there are also some contradicting results from the vaccine.So a vaccine no long enough in the market , whose resukts not yet agreed completely by all the doctors shud not be mandated for anyone ,not just immigrants.

As I understand, technically there are different situations - for example,

1. If some one is married to Canadian Citizen, his/her requirement of presence not needed and can hold lifelong Canadian PR, while remainig in USA on GC or as US Citizen.

2. Similarly, if someone is hired by Canadian Company and sent to USA, his/her requirement for presence is not needed.

American Citizen do get Canadian PR, there are some advantage too, such as medical.

the fact that there were so many EAD applicants through June/July - the workload will be very high on USCIS so everyone will file at the earliest ie proposed 120 days prior to expiry.

Good Point. Guess I should get my act together too.. So can somebody give me some information on what I should do to get an FP appointment on Infopass website?

Here is where I am -

Make Your Appointment with INFOPASS -> "Please select Kind of Service you need"

I have these many options - which one should I choose?

1. You need Service on a case that has already been filed


2. You are a new Permanent Resident and have not yet received your Permanent Resident Card


3. You want to file an application in person


4. You need information or other services


5. You need a form

I am looking to be active in the Texas chapter....


Add one from Austin.

I'd like to think it was our media campaign letters that did it :)

Come on guys! We can't let Ranga get sucked into the U.S. Reverse Brain Drain!!! Nor can we let any of the 500,000 of us get sucked in either!!! Let's go to Washington next week!!!!

EB-1s for Indians and Chinese are also expected to be current. For EB-2, India is expected to have a cut off date of January 8, 2003 and for China the cut off date will be April 22, 2005.

For EB-3, according to Jan, the worldwide cut off date will be August 1, 2002, India will be May 8, 2001 and China will be April 22, 2005.

Jan also reports that 18,000 EB-3 for Indians have been processed in this fiscal year with 8,000 of those cases approved in June and 7,000 in July. By the way, the annual EB-3 limit for Indians is 2,800 so go figure.

Also, approximately 40,000 cases were received at the Texas Service Center on July 2nd and 35,000 were received in Nebraska.

One final amazing fact that Jan has learned - USCIS requested 66,600 (666!) visa numbers from the beginning of the fiscal year through the end of May and 66,800 numbers in June and July.
Why is this good news? Jan 8, 2003 and May 8, 2001 are not good news to me at least.

My attorney said e-notice is fine and applied.
but in enotice it is written

Please note that this e-mail message is being sent as a
courtesy and cannot be used as evidence of nonimmigrant
status. Nor can this message be used as evidence to procure
an immigrant visa


I am worried if my packages comes back after aug 17?

My lawyer refused to file with the e-pproval and I agree with him. Why take a risk with such an important matter. If you're approved, you should get your approval notice in a couple of weeks at the most. File your 485 after that.
