I'm with Don.. although I have a camera in phone, it's got less resolution that a hungover coke bottle dipped in vaseline jelly peering through the polar ice cap after a three night binge on beer, whisky and crack.

<bump>

I believe that in the original post, Keerthi indicated that he was in India.

I apologize for the confusion.

I understood that you have replied for mchhokar's question.
Is it ok to file H1b while L1 is on appeal.. IS USCIS ok with this fact.. Filing the visas simultaneously under two categorie?

Please accept my apologizes and thanks for the clarification.

Got medical RFE at 485 stage.Here are RFE details :

The civil surgeon's signature on the supplement Form to I-693 submmitted with your application to adjust status is photocopy and is therefore unacceptable.Your original Supplement Form to I-693 is hereby returned to you in the enclosed sealed envelope.Take this letter and your enlclosed Supplemental Form I-693 to the civil surgeon who administered your vaccinations.ONLY THE CIVIL SURGEON SHOULD OPEN THE SEALED ENVELOPE.The civil surgeon must verify that he or she completed the Supplemental Form to I-693 and place it in a sealed envelope before returning it to you.
The medical examination report,Form I-693 submitted with your application to adjust status ,also contains a photocopied signature and is therefore unacceptable.Your orginal Form I-693 is hereby returned to you in the enclosed sealed envelope.Take this letter and your enclosed Form I-693 to civil surgeon who conducted your medical examination.ONLY THE CIVIL SURGEON SHOULD OPEN THE SEALED ENVELOPE.The civil surgeon must verify that he or she completed the medical examination recorded on the I-693 and must sign and date the form in the space provided.

Did anyone receive similar RFE?If yes,how did you handle this RFE?
Do I need to take the tests again?
Can doctor fill a new form based on the previous results.

Appreciate your help and guidance in this matter.
Thanks

It looks like my lawyer has already mailed the application to USCIS. The priority dates becomes current only on July 1st.

What are my options here? Does anyone has faced such a situation?

Wow... You have a great over-enthusiast lawyer. People try to push their lawyer to file their application but looks like your lawyer pushed you to file your application. :)
You can always file new application on July 1st.

Thank you everyone for taking appointments. We are getting good feedback from the recent visits. Please continue this effort.

Hi,

One of my friends got fired from a company and the company made him to sign a document that he was resigning. This guy somehow signed it so that he could get his salary. The employer eventually paid him the salary after signing the resignation document.

Few questions about his H1B visa.

1. How many days can he legally stay in the US before he finds one more job gets new H1B.

2. Can he transfer his H1B visa to a new company or does he need to apply for a new H1B visa (which is within the cap)?

3. Incase if he doesn't find a job within the legally permitted time, what are his options apart from going back?

4. Will he have any problem when he tries to transfer his H1B after the legally permitted time?


I would really appreciate if anyone can please help me with this questions.

Thank you very much!

I had the same scenario and got my EAD renewed using the new passport number without any issues. What USCIS is mainly concerned about is your A# that you fill up in your EAD form.

Thx

I would like to know the answer to this question too. does anybody know?

also pkv..how many days did it take you to get the new passport?

Hi,

My parents' and 2 brothers' B2 visas got rejected yesterday. The VO didn't state the refusal reason. He didn't stamp anything on their passports. I got my GC through asylum, and will get married in Nov. 2009. I supplied a formal letter from my pastor about the wedding that it's real. And my parents stated that they are not bringing my youngest brother to the US because he has school. During the interview, the VO asked them about me. He knew that I got my GC through asylum. He asked if I work or go to school. My parents answered honestly that I'm currently working to support myself.

My parents didn't show their bank account, certificate of properties and business because the VO didn't ask for it. Should they show them to VO eventhough he didn't ask to see it?

Now, we're preparing to apply B2 visa for a second time. Here are my questions:
1. When do you think they should apply for the visa again?
2. What can we prepare to show proofs that they will definitely go back to their country? Should we prepare a letter stating reasons why they won't immigrate to US?
3. They are taking care of my elderly grandfather, 80 years old. Should they bring a picture of him?
3. Will they have a better chance if they left all my 3 siblings at home to give more reason they will definitely go back?

My parents definitely don't want to immigrate to the US.

Help...help....please...I really want them to attend my wedding.


Thanks a bunch for all of your advise!

which country are you from?

I am from India having masters in engineering and i have 9 years IT experience. Ofcourse my Lawyer filed in EB3 (in 2003) thinking that PD will be current in future. Now i140 cleared in EB3 . What next? Since i am in consulting company i don't have any problem sticking to company. Only problem is maintaining status. As long as i am in job no problem. Who knows market will be like this. I am just re thinking to go for EB2 filing. But not sure how many were able to clear Eb2 in PERM.How much salary required ? (My company located in Detroit).

Friends, we sent our h1b extension application in Jul 12 th to Vermont (VSC) and got receipt with in a week but still under process. now it is showing processing datge Apr 2007, can we convert to premium processing now ?. Thanks,:confused:

So total is 90 days after Prez signs (normal for every bill) + 90 days (sessions amendment) = 6 months

Is this category seen as one or is it split into many countries and if so how do you find out about a particular country within ROW?

Thanks

Each county has a 7% cap limit.

Backlog Processing centers reported way back in early 2005 that they have
~180,000 cases.If most of the 2001 cases are cleared in the current fiscial year, we should see some movement in the October bulletin for ROW.

I-140 can not be ported. You need to start all over again at your new company with new PERM labor and new I-140.
However, if you have a copy of old approved I-140, you can use that to port older priority date at the time of 485 filing.Companies usually don't give copies of I-140.

hello folks,
I am switching jobs after an approved I140 and over 180 days from 485 receipt.
I am expecting no problems when leaving my current company. but just incase they decide to revoke my 140,
- is it ok to file AC21 after i receive the NOID if some thing happens or is it better to file AC21 now?

one other complication is i will be changing address too. how long does it take for USCIS to update my new address in their records? the reason i am asking is if they send me RFE or NOID, i will totally miss the boat if they send it to the wrong address. i am sure they will send a copy to my attorney, but he works form my current employer and I will assume he is less likely to help. Does it help if i file G28 with my own name and my new address?

I need to join my new job in 10 days and i hev give my crrent company a notice so it is a bit urgent. Please help.

Thank you

Rex

I have not yet used AC21 to port my job and I am still with my GC sponsoring employer. However I can share my knowledge gained thru various threads in IV and other forums.

If the current GC sponsoring employer decide to revoke the approved I-140, then he/ his lawyer should notify you their intention as well. When they send the letter to USCIS, a copy of the same will be sent to you. There are chances that you may not receive this letter.

If I were you, I would do the following:

Step 1: I would notify the change in address to USCIS. (AR-11 form electronically) and watch out for LUDs.

Step 2: After settling down in new job atleast for few days (one month minimum), I would notify the USCIS about my using AC21 portability for changing the job. There are appropriate formats for notifying USCIS, which you can find in this forum. In case, NOID is issued in future, then the early advice of AC21 would come in handy. I have heard the successful stories where the individuals had sent AC21 intimation earlier.

All the best in your new job! Good Luck

hi,

I am on h1b EB3 and my 485 is pending since July 2007. I will get married soon and my wife is on F1. It seems I'd better to get married before my 485 approval in order to add her into my 485, right? (My PD is 2004 July which is not current. ) If this is true, since my PD is not current, can I file her 485 now, just add to my 485 or I have to wait until my PD becomes current again?

Many Thanks.

I take it the program you applied for is not in the NRMP match and/or you are given a pre-match.

In any case if you want the program you desire and you are fortunate to have the EAD in hand ...what should stop you ! In my opinion just use the EAD and make the best.

I am using AC21 and my spouse is also going in for fellowship. We did not blink a moment to make the best out of the EAD.

So go for it ! (after consulting a reputable attorney if that would make you feel better)

I dont think people who are affected by retrogression are living life with some principles. If they are in this situation, itis because of their own decisions. Again as redcard said, coming here on F1 is for study and not for GC. Coming here in H1B is for work and not soley for GC. May be the individual knows in advance there is possibility of getting one.

Doing MS or PhD, you could very well do in your home country. Why did you choose US on first place. I have seen people who are unable to get H1b, getting F1 and coming to US. By the way I am not blaming all F1's here. . By doing MS or PhD, your original intention of coming to US is well achieved. Then if you decide to go into H1, then you join the people who are here in H1 irrespective of their degrees. Intention of H1 is to work and sometimes even to apply for GC. So cribbing too much on having a MS is not good.

I bet there will be a huge number of people if given an opportunity to get pre-approved labor, they will get it somehow. You and I did not come across one.

Stop crying.. no one forced you to come here to study.. you came by choice like the other people who came here to work on H1... you decided to stay here for working, again no one forced you ... you decided to apply for GC again no one forced you... you decided to join a good company who would not substitute a labor .. again no once forced you... you had options like all the other people who came here on BS or whatever degree.. maybe you made the wrong move when it came to GC and the other people made a smarter move.. so don't cry on that.. if you wish to cry .. cry for the labor substitution rule.. it will help

Not sure where this is going...Respond with caution folks...posting seems fishy !!

Thanks. No LUDs. Just got it in the mail straight. Try contacting your senator or congressperson.

Congrats...

Folks,
Please don't give wrong information so authoritatively :)

Labor Certification(LC) for Green Card processing has nothing to with Labor Condition Agreement(LCA) attached to H1-B.

If you moved to a different state from intended work place when your employer filed H1-B (extension included), your company need to get a new LCA.

Do not confuse between (Permanent) Labor Certification from Labor Condition Agreement, simply because of the abbreviations(LC vs LCA).
