You will have to pay again and again and again.
But you have a chance to get 2 year EAD. Thanks to IV for the effort.


Hi Prasadn,

Thanks for the reply. That sucks if I have to pay again::((

I read somewhere that if we apply with the latest fees, we dont have to pay again.

Can any one else please confirm?

Regards

Please do not spread a bad word about Indian companies. Infact 90% of us are working for Indian companies and we very much know we can not go with others due to the fact that experience or openness or waterver the reasons I don't like to mention here. I hope you can understand my request. Thanks.

thats what gist of it i was not there
the vo seems to be saying that last time when he went to stamping he filled his client details like where he working and which was az at that time and this VO was saying now you are working in NJ ,the confusion seems to becaused by the clinet letter in which his manager wrote that he directly reports to him as consultant,VO is assuming that he working here without preoper documents,atleast that what i understood:confused:.

MSG,

Without knowing all the details and reading in between the lines, one of these is what I think could be the reasons for rejection.

1) As a consultant you dont report to a client on a day to day basis. That enters the grey area of client-consultant relationship.

2) The client letter has to clearly state the address where the consultant is working and the LCA should match the client letter.

I think one of these would not have satisfied the VO's questions and could have triggered the rejection.

The solution though is to have an attorney represent the firm and file an amended petition with Premium Processing and Consular notification and forward the approval to your brother. Ofcourse have the atorneys review the client letter as well. Most corporate attorneys do it.

I know someone who went to Canada for the weekend and got the I-94 with the correct date on it.
Note that the airline (AA), on his way out of the US, was not willing to take his I-94 since he was going for less than 30 days. So he had to explain to them about his situation and they took it.

Also note that if you have an Indian passport, you will need a visa to go to Canada.

The other option to extend your I-94 is for your employer to refile I-129, and request for extension of stay. This can be done using premium processing.

I did the same thing . Except I returned my I94 while returning to US as the airlines did not take my I94. While returning I just explained my situation to immigration officer and she was knowlegable and issued a new I94.

I am not sure what came out of this campaign (I really haven't read the entire thread), but it appears that at first glance, it had to do with limiting EB2s to certain job titles.

I read some posts from the thread you mentioned and i was not able to read it entirely as it was a very long thread. I couldn't figure out what changed with respect to EB2 job zones. I have filed my current perm in EB2 with senior software engineer title and i am not sure what will happen to that. I am in this country for 5 years and still struggling to get my PERM approved (So far i have filed PERM three times :)) Is there anyone in IV who has got their PERM approved with Priority date from DECEMBER 2008 onwards? This will be little encouraging.

Starting EB2 process will be the same as EB3 process. Your company should have a position open that requires atleast Masters degree or Bachelor + 5 years experience. They'll have to go through recruitment process and document that no US citizen or PR was available to fill the position and then file PERM.

Your EB3 applicaiton will not be affected by this new application.

The whole process upto I-140 may cost $10k-15k

As long as you have maintained status there is nothing to worry?

I had a question regarding H1 visa stamping. If my I-40 is approved when I am out the the country and I have also to get my visa stamped for H1. Is there a chance of H1 being denied since the 1-40 is already approved. Any insights will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi All,
Recently I received an RFE on my Wife's 485 application asking to prove that we both are still married. My lawyer is asking for around $400 to respond to this RFE, We have already paid the lawyer about $7500 until now for our GC process and she is no longer the preferred lawyer for the company that I am working for, but I had to keep my case with her as she has processed all of my applications until now. My questions are:
1. Can we ourselves respond to the RFE and save the $400.00,
2. If so, What's the process and what documents that we need to send to prove that we are still married.

Appreciate all of your help in this regard.

Thanks

I am currently on H1b visa and have filed I-485 as primary. My spouse is also on H1B and is derivative. We both have EAD's but are still maintaining H1B status.
My employer is reluctant to file H1B extension as there are lots of RFE's and client/vendor letter requirements and paper work he does not want to do.
He has asked me to change my status to H4 and work on EAD.

Can I work on EAD without filing H1B-H4.

or
After the new memo regarding unlawful status, it is better to file H1 to H4 and continue working on EAD for my employer.
Will this affect anyhow on my chances of approval of my AOS?



Appreciate your response.

Whats the reason for the denial ?

if you want networking and be independent then you can join Amway :D.
am joking ofcourse

Chandu: I disagree with you. I think nobody complained on the website itself. People were unhappy with what it showed. The case status is incomplete and very abstract. I do not think anybody cared about navigation or buttons. Besides, it really they listened to the complaints, they would have fixed many more things before this thing. This would have been the last piece to do especially if they are having lack of workforce.

180 days to invoke AC-21 is counted from the day 485 is recieved.Correct ?

Correct...

Friends,

Please let me know any good Immigration attorney to transfer my pending 485 case.

Would you recommned Murthy or Rajiv khanna, they seem to be bit expensive. Are they good at returning calls and answering queries. Gurus, your opinion please.

Thanks in advance.

I entered US using AP on this Sunday from Chicago.
AP and passport were enough. They did ask for old H1 stamp which was on my older expired passport. So I will add :
carry older passports if any.

I also carried I-485 notice and EAD but was not asked for it.

One of my friends got his passport back in 6th week.

I would say, be persistent in contacting them. They are not very good at getting back to people - no accountability. Send emails and fax explaining your situation ....twice a day until they reply back.

Hello Friends,

My current passport is expiring in Jun 07. I have applied for passport renewal at Indian Embassy (Washington D.C.) in 3rd week of Jan 07 via courier. I may have to travel urgently to India by end of this month. Just wondering if anyone recently got their passport renewed at DC and what was the duration. It will help me to take the decision about departure date. Unfortunately DC is 5 hours drive from where I live. I am not sure even if take a day off and drive to DC to collect the passport they will even give it to me on the same day. Multiple attempts to contact DC office via phone/email were not helpful. No one picks the phone and their voice mail system is always full. Any advise on what I should to do know status of my passport renewal would be appreciated.

Thank you,

P.S : Yes, I have contributed to IV :)

tpcool,

I am not familiar with ur line of work. I am into manufacturing.I used my AC21 and working on EAD now.

You can invoke AC21 and work either on h1b(provided newcompany transfers) or EAD. It is highly advisable NOT to port on a pending I-140.

Hope this helps.

I found this thread on ImmigrationPortal.com forum with suggestions from "ginnu", who appears to be a well-respected, knowledgeable and trusted member on that forum. Has anyone successfully tried this approach?

Thanks Pappu for your reply.

I am not trying to get your status report. I do not want your battle plan either. I am trying to figure out if there is any ray of hope...

Yes there is no one-line amendment. But the objective of an amendment can be one line. That is what I mean. I saw many amendments before and am familiar with the political jargon. You are thinking that I am a novice when it comes to Immigration. That is ok and that is not the issue here.

Recently in one fundraising thread, I counted the number of retrogressed PD members contribution to others. Its in the ratio 1:5. The reason for this thread started at that time.

If members know that IV has the right strategy and right connections then the support to IV will be overwhelming. That is all I want to convey in the thread.

Thanks . We look forward to your participation in IV efforts. We currently have an action item to meet lawmakers. Please participate in that action item to get involved in the grassroots advocacy effort and know more how it works.

Hi,

My wife has an approved H1 w/ COS starting from Oct 1. Her current status is H4. She wants to continue to maintain her H4 status, so we want to to file for reinstatement of H4 before Oct 1.

How long does it take for USCIS to approve H4 reinstatement?

Thanks!

You are asking best of best in the area which has US most richest counties and for $300K.
Its hard but housing market slowdown may work in your favor. Very good move, good luck.
