Q6: What happens if an application is filed at the wrong Service Center?
A6. Forms I-485 should be filed at either the Texas or Nebraska Service Centers. However, through August 17, 2007 only, employment-based adjustment applications filed at the California and Vermont Service Centers will not be rejected and will be relocated to the appropriate Service Center. Filing at the wrong location could result in processing delays.

I think you'll only lose 1-2 weeks as far as your RD is concered..

This is a good idea. Pls wait for some time. We are all focussing on the rally.

sent my packet last july2 it was received july 5, no receipt notice yet, any similar experiences?

The President has started revealing his plans on immigration for the next year. It sounds like he's planning on trying a do-over with Congress and attempting again to get a comprehensive immigration bill passed. He'll make the case for this in his State of the Union Address. I'm happy the President is still interested in working for change, I sincerely hope he is not making passing a reform bill his SOLE strategy. I'm reminded of Presidents in the past who regularly spoke in favor of something, but you just knew they didn't really care and were just trying to appease...

It looks good for a first try I guess, keep up the good work. Also welcome to kirupa:thumb:

F1 is strictly non-immigrant VISA. So having family members in USA has a bearing on F1. On the other hand, bunch of H-1B applicants have relatives in USA. Also H-1B is dual intent VISA. So you should be OK with H-1B.

Never lie or give any false information on the application.

The dates are not opened yet for 2nd week at Mumbai.. Hopefully it is un-opened as opposed already taken...

I want to extend the stay for my Parents for few months. They are on visitors visa. I am aware that I need to file form I - 539 for this purpose. I am not sure what reason should I specify for extention?
If some one had done extention for visitors visa in past please, I would appereciate your help on this.

Thanks

Also, dont specify Medical emergencies. They sometimes ask you to provide letters from the doctors regarding this. You can just say that they need some more time to visit places.

Ideally, I wouldnt recommend, having them overstay. This might have issues in the future, if they plan to visit again.

If they have a 5 or 10 year multiple entry visas, they can go back home and come again in another 6 months or so.

does it count if the same person calls multiple times? Do they track the phone number? I wonder...

I am not sure what is the process after fingerprinting. Can someone please clarify?

I believe NameCheck must have been initiated. As far as processing 485 is concerned, does the PD have to be current?

I am trying to figure out what is the tentative schedule for the "magical" GC to appear in my mailbox :) ?

I would appreciate any pointers / links

Hi all,

I have contributed to this site and wanted to raise our profile a little more among the techies of the world. I've submitted a story on www.digg.com (which , like slashdot, is read by hundreds and thousands of techies). Please "digg" the story so it rises up in rank and appears on the front page. This could lead to interested people contributing.

Here is the link : (search for "legal immigration" or "green card" to see my story post . The story will be posted by "saiko")

Why not microsoft? The rest of high tech industry will not survive if they can't move their 60% of operations outside of USA. Bone headed congress will continue to come up with legislation that encourage illegal immigration and discourage legal immigration. Sounds like 19th century for UK, 20th century for USA and 21st century for China and India. Dollar declines and what is the use of GC? I am thinking of going back where the growth is.

In the last radio show that IV was invited (cannot recall which one), one of the premier companies had in fact opined that they will move the jobs overseas if the doors are not opened here. Most probably the company was Oracle.

Folks

When I sign in to USCIS online status for my 140, I found this

On August 12, 2007, we received this I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we re
....

Is this August 16 receipt date or notice date? I dont remember when my lawyer sent my 140 to USCIS?

STAmisha:

It must be Notice Date, Reciept Date doesn't show on online.

I know that PERM labor gets expired if one does not file I-140 within 180 days of labor's approval date.
I am wondering if DOL has any procedure to revive expired approved/unused PERM by filing some sort of request/appeal or by paying some sort of fees etc. or if not ,then one files a new PERM by referring the old unused approved labor for the same job and same person then DOL can give an expedited approval.

no
no?? What's your question if I may ask please

I have a valid AP approved on Oct 13, 2007. The H1B visa stamped on my passport expired in Mar 2007. I have a valid one year H1B approval till Mar 2008. I do not have the original I797 approval notice but have a scanned copy of it. Now if I have to travel out of country in July and enter back on AP will there be any trouble at the POE with not having the original approval notice of last H1B.
Any inputs will be appreciated. Thanks

I came back from India last week, JFK was the Port of entry. All i showed them was the AP and my passport, they did not even ask for any other details. Infact all your details will be in their system which they will verify inside.
I would not worry about it, but do carry your 485 filing reciept (i was never asked for one).

Good Luck

bang

I am July 2 filer and I called yesterday and they gave me this BAD news. They said "Other reasons". I can't think of what they could be. They said they are sending application back which I did not receive yet.

Hi Gurus -

Am eFiling this my EAD renewal - and want to know what I should enter for -

1. "What is Date for Application?" - is the "Received Date" in my EAD receipt?

2. "Manner of Last Entry" : I put H1B - Speciality Occupation. Hope that is fine as I entered last year using H1B (am on H1B and there was one more H1 option there)

3. Current Immigration Status - "I put H1B - Speciality Occupation".

4. Eligibility Status - "I485 filed" - is that right? Am a July 07 filer.

About Youtube.com

Guys, youtube is a great site, especially for viewing funny videos from Daily show etc of Comedy central.

However, streaming video can put you in trouble at work, so avoid it, unless you are sure its safe. Streaming video takes up a lot of bandwidth and chokes network(if a lot of people do it).

Best thing: do it from home.
