Usually if Primary's GC approved, RFE for dependents is minor.
When my GC is approved, my dependents get an RFE.
It is for Marriage certificate, birth certificate etc.
Lawyer want $250 for each persons to respond the rfe.
I did asked a copy from the lawyer and send the RFE reply. GC approved within 1 week.

USCIS condider each I-485 as seperate petition, not as a full family affair. My lawyer have all the details, but I think she send these documents with my package only. That is why these birth and marriage certificates are missed from my dependents file.
Lawyers make money and penalise us for their omissions also !!!!!!!!!!!!!
But they didn't admit it. But I did outsmart them with the RFE.
After one month legal aid call me for money and documents, I told them, I have GC in my hand. THANK YOU. !!!!!!!!!!

My H1 extension expires on March 08, Have EAD, Work for the same employer who sponsered my GC.

Does my employer has to apply for my H1 extension ? Should I use EAD to work with my same employer (what paper work I have to do ?).

Hypothical question, If I use EAD to work, lets say there is a delay in getting my EAD renewed even though I apply 120 days in advance, should I stop working and start working only after I get my new EAD ??

Some may find these as irrelvant thoughts/questions, but we are in this limbo state and it is better to know.

Thanks.


Always advicible to use H1B renewal and H1B transfer, recommend not to use EAD.

If you plan to change employer and what if he revokes your I 140. so better to renew.

And what if you plan to renew EAD and it gets delayed ( you can go for interim) so why take risk.

Good luck

I had LUD on I-140 on 11/25 as well. 140 was approved late last year.

It could be a soft touch (system) or someone just looked at your 140 - Keep an eye out.

Thank you for your help. I will definitely contact an attorney for my case. Hopefully, I will receive an approval without any hassle.

You have to use I-824 if you change the consulate, if it is a consular case. If your I-94 is extended within america, there is no need. However because of PIMS, it is better to initiate a I-824 and get confirmation before proceeding for stamping. It is better to check your lawyer to get the right legal advise.

Guys,

I had applied for my original H1 in London, First extension in Vienna Austria, and the last one in Delhi... and when i went to Delhi Embassy site - Since I was an H1-b holder already working in USA I had the option to apply at any consular office in India... I chose Delhi and will do it again in Dec at Delhi...

In short - unless is consular processing you can choose any consulate/embassy you want provided you have a reason to be there in that country... I think Mexico and Canada are exceptions to that rule as well...

Hope this helps

As for as I know USCIS local office has stopped issuing interim EAD some where from 2006.
The only option we have is to request for expedite process which we can do by calling the USCIS customer service number. This you can get it in the USCIS website.

I think we can get the infopass only if 90 days has passed or if your EAD is going to expire soon and you need immediate attention.

Thanks buddy!
BTW, How to get an INFOPASS appointment?

Job duties and same/similar job functions will be deciding factor. If your GC is for Programmer Analyst and if you become manager as Assets Manager, it will be an issue. If you are promoted as IT manager having significant overlap of job functions, you should be fine.

if you are like my manager, who forgot how to open IDE and always works on some obsolete excel sheets/ project plans/ outlook, you will have trouble...

Bottomline, dont leave development even if you become manager.

Good advice vamsi_poondla. Changing job is always a problem in I-485 stage. Making this more flexible is one of the administrative fixes IV is proposing in the letter to the President. One more reason for everyone to mail that letter, if not mailed already.

I would not worry about it at this point, this seems to be an internal matter, cases are often transferred to other service centers for speedy processing, sometimes it could be an error also, whatever this might be, this is not something you have control over. If the I-140 becomes overdue you should have your employer call or write to the service center.

Genereic faxes requesting to remove hard country quota may not yield the desired result. It is very important to request any senater who is willing to help or undertand the issue. It should be done thro lobbying and explining him/her in person why it is important to the eliminate country quota, hard country quota increase the baklog instead of reducing it. He/She should to bring an amendment to the bills(Frist/Specter) to bring back the AC21 provision. Then we will get the success.

I hope IV will take care of this situation.

All,
I posted another thread asking folks to thank core members for their sacrifice and great leadership. But at the same time few members like to "excercise their
freedom of voice" & We should all agree that constructive debate & sometimes criticism brings in new ideas and better path.

We should define ground rules for ourselves which will lead to efficient use of core members time:

1) Ensure that we make every effort to find answer before asking question/suggestion/complaint.
2) Keep one long thread without duplication.
3) Understand that Core members have job/family , so they have limited bandwidth .. please exercise patience.
4) Maintain civil constructive discourse, Which has a referanceble information if You want to send a link to a lawmaker or any other authority/influencer/potential volunteer or help someone become a wellwisher.
5) Understand the limitations of IV/lobbyist , So help them to make things happen & don't expect gurantees.
6) Never use derogatory remarks, even against proven distractors.
7) Please put forward only genuine concerns clearly to avoid misunderstanding
8) Ignore "whiners", But fully respect people with genuine concern/objection.
9) Please put forward only thoughts relevent to scope of current forum/discussion..
.. eg. "Discussing the gramatical mistake of someone's message is not relavent to this forum .." .
10) Always keep in mind that this is public forum , so It is our responsibility to show ourselves collectively in positive light
by not only passionate for our cause , But also professional in our responses.
11) Try to propose ideas which are attainable/pragmatic or You can add words like "I would like to see".
Definately All of us want some resolution out of this problem, But setting too aggresive milestones may results in
taking off eyeballs from low hanging fruit, wich IV is going after to begin with.

Please add other ground rules, So that we can have a good platform to discuss our issues and influence the working of IV to begin with & US congress eventually.Thisshould be good forum for members like me, who can't fully participate because of demanding schedule, others please participate other ways too.

In order to apply under EB1, she must be L1-A holder which means her positions before/after the internal transfer are at executive or managerial level (some companies are very strict on their definition of "executive" level, usually not for someone with 3 years experience). Otherwise she can only get L1-B for skilled worker which is not qualified for EB1.
Her best bet is to apply for H1-B, the fact that her husband is GC holder does not matter to her H1-B application as long as her employer gets her H1-B quota and 797.

It takes 15 calendar days. You should hear something from USCIS next week.
Good luck!

I am already in premium processing.They send my papers to USCIS last sept 1 and until now i haven't received anything from them

clockwork :

Mine is the same case....Did you have LUD on your I-485. Mine was received by J.Barrett on July 2nd and has an LUD on 8/5. Not received the RN yet.

You are asking about LUD on I-140 right? Yes. I had LUD on my approved I-140 on 08/05/07. Thanks -

I think healthy trade/economic relationship with economic potential powerhouse INDIA is important for the US in the long term. That is why the deal was a done deal long long ago IMHO.

Bibs:
To apply for EAD you need the following documents

1. I-131 EAD Application document
2. Copy of I-485 receipt notice
3. 2 colored passport pictures - recent
4. Cashiers cheque as stated in the form.

Send all this in and wait. You dont need an attorney to do this. This is really a simple procedure.
You need to send in I-765 form and not I-131. I think I-131 is the form for advanced parole. Other than the form name, the above looks correct.

Thank you all for your replies and comments. A few things I know based on previous research:
1. Any person, whether in the US or not, can be an investor (and hence hold equity) of an LLC or C corp. When it comes to an S-corp, all owners must be US citizens. So owning a stake in a company has nothing to do with work permit (i.e. H1-B)
2. Any company that can prove employer-employee relationship can sponsor H1B for its employees, even if the employees are owners in the company. There are many start-ups in the US where some of the founders work in the company on an H1-B. However, the lion share of those are C-Corps

My questions are:
1. Can an LLC sponsor an H1B visa for one of its (major) shareholders
2. If so, H1B visa requires proof of salary, whereas owners in an LLC cannot be employed by the LLC. Any ideas on how to solve this paradox?

I hope this all makes sense.

Thank you all in advance.

From IRS point of view, parents are considered dependents if you are taking care of them at home. You could bring them on visitor VISA mentioning that they will be here for medical treatment. You may have to show proof of Insurance etc ... in the affidavit of support. Medical exprenses are costly here. That is the only problem.

1. How do you know that we are not approving 2004 cases? Just that you didn't got your approval doesn't mean that we are not approving 2004 cases.

2. There are not that many 2004 cases, so we are approving 2005 and 2006 cases.

3. We divided cases into 3 boxes : 2004, 2005, 2006. It must be a case that IO's assigned to 2006 are working faster and efficiently.

4. We received so many 2006 I-485 applications on 07/02/2007. We are just processing by Receive Date.

5. We made a policy to approve I-485 cases bases on I-140 approval dates. Since we have many cases with old I-140 approval cases that happened to be with earlier priority dates, we are approving them now.

6. There are so many FBI name check hits on 2004 cases. All name hits will be processed later.

7. Oops... we sorted all cases that can be approved, by descending order. Sorry!

8. Time and again we want to approve that we can do anything we want.

9. All EB2 perm cases are really frustrated EB3 cases that have an older EB3 priority dates. We just wanted to be fair to them.

10. Yikes! Dog ate all 2004 cases.

11. Ding, these 2003, 2004 and Early 2005 boxes are under these 2006 boxes that we are too lazy to pick them up.

thanks for your help it was hardly worth pressing the keys to let me know the word drr is used by people....yawn
Yeah, thought maybe your 'son' was worth a few keystrokes ;)

...that the new job is similar or related to the pending I-485 application.

Also, I was reading on the murthy forum that you would need to file your intent of invoking AC21 with USCIS. If you don't file your intent with USCIS, they may deny the I-485 application if your current employer revoked the approved I-140. As per rules, If you file your intent for invoking AC21 with USCIS, your current employer will NOT be able to revoke the I-140.

Even with letting USCIS know, they're known to have issued denials by mistake or in some cases, NOID's (Notice of Intent to Deny) after the employer filed to revoke the I-140. Proceed cautiously and consult your immigration attorney before you do anything.

Good luck!

What an irony, these guys will not let us file nor to withdraw, :mad:

gcdreamer05,

Thanks your comment made me smile. :) I wish there were processing dates for PERM withdrawals and PERM appeals.
