Does she have a 485 pending as well?

I think it has to be either you or your lawyer. No third party should get any communication from USCIS. So I guess you'll get it - if at all they send it back.

I am in the process of changing job. The new employer is saying that I can start working with them from the very next day, after they file H1B transfer application. ie I don't have to wait for the receipt. Is this true? They are asking me to give 2 weeks notice immediately so that by the time they file H1B, 2 weeks will get over, and I can start there immediately.
Please reply its kind of urgent for me.

Thanks.

In the past EB3 was eligible for PP before EB2 was eligible.

I've heard rumors that this will happen again. I don't understand the rationale though.

Does the 45 day limit on being able to use a LC mean that priority dates from an approved LC and I-140 can no longer be ported when the GC process is started again through a new employer ?

Again if your AP is approved but is in mail or whatever and you leave the country then you are ok (technically) in somebody mailing it out to you otherwise you cannot claim to have satisfied the rule USCIS has put forward and the IO has every right to deny entry at the POE

Extract from the instructions of I 131 form
If you travel before the advance parole document is issued, your application will be deemed abandoned if:
A. You depart from the United States; or
B. The person seeking advance parole attempts to enter the United States before a decision is made on the application.


- good luck

Kris,
Yes, you are 100% correct. If one leaves during AP is pending then, at the time of adjudication of the pending AP, the officer can run a query and find that the person has left the U.S. before AP was approved. Then, such AP gets denied because the petition was abandoned . In fact, there was an official memo regarding this some time ago. You can find it under press releases on USCIS website. If, however, the USCIS does not notice that you left and approves AP while you are being outside of the United States, the AP is not valid and upon re-entry CBP may deny entry (if notices). This is why, when applying for AP, one specifies if AP is to be issued to a person who is In US or to a person who is NOT in the U.S. This is needed to satisfy the law. Consequently, it is risky to leave U.S. while AP is pending and not having a visa in a passport.

Hi,

I just came back from India with my wife and daughter. I am also on H1B extension. Got my EAD, AP few months back. Please see below reply to your questions..

I am July 2 filer and have EAD card for myself and mywife. We are planning to go to INDIA for 30 days. I have H1B extended until 2010 but H1B STAMP is expired in passport. I have following questions:

1. Should I apply for AP for both of us? Yes you should - makes life easier while travelling outside
2. If we have AP documents for both of us, Do we need to have NEW H1B STAMP in passport? NO - You can travel anywhere using AP. Also you can still continue working on H1B until and unless you take a new job using EAD.
3. When you aboard in flight from INDIA, do they question for expired H1B VISA stamp in the passport? What document we need to show them at that time? Tell them you are traveling on AP as you are adjusting your status. They will just see your AP. Thats it. While entering in US, tell immigration officer that you are traveling on AP - he will check you passport and AP and then you will be escorted to a room where your AP will be stamped and will return once stamped. Then your are all set. They will let you come in. They might ask one or two casual questions like how many days your were in India, what was the purpose of travel etc..(giving example of India as I am from India) - nothing more than that..
Your help is greatly appericated.

Thank you.

guess we are the only two on this thread .. isn't there anyone else in LI ... :confused:

We have people. Looks like there is a communication gap here, many people do not visit IV site that often.

Mobilizing upstate and Long Island is my next priorities.

New Jersey is picking up. It went down completely few months back but is now jumping back

Connecticut is also reviving - We have some very dedicated members in this area working extremely hard to mobilize this chapter

Thanks for this input. I'd call them around 10th of this month.

Keep us updated. Also what is the processing time for EADs in AZ on an average? Both for premium and regular?

DOS tried to update the system reflecting a big jump in the visa dates for May. The system was unused to any changes lately - leave aside such large forward movements - and as a result it crashed.

DOS managed to recover the system by replacing all date fields with character fields. The rumor is that the value for all those character fields is now "C", whatever that means.

Nice one, although you are 2 days too late with your "special" news. :D

Hello,

I got my EAD through my primary Employer. I am currently working on EAD but with a different Employer (NY State Agency) who doesn�t encourage GC processing, so did not file my AC21 and been working for over a year now. I still have good rapport with my primary Employer. Now I am scheduled to go to INDIA for few weeks, my question is " whom should I say is my Employer " if the immigration officer asks me at the port of entry (JFK). Please advise as I will be carrying my current pay stubs.

Thank you

While I do not have first hand experience. I do not believe the IO will care about your employment status or employer given that you have an AP don't recall anyone here saying that they were asked about the employer when using AP to enter.

I went to stamping in Montreal on 10/10/06. No issues or problems. I also recommend to be prepared for a lot of questions, and take all the paperwork.

My visa was also expired in 2004. I got 3 years VISA stamp upon my 3 year extention approval.
Good Luck.

We applied on July 2nd during July 2007 VB fiasco.

I just received the following email from CRIS regarding my son's AOS I-485 application:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Request for Additional Evidence Sent

On June 12, 2009, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the requested information. This case will be in suspense until we receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once we receive the requested evidence or information and make a decision on the case, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, call 1-800-375-5283 to update your address.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not sure what it is, still waiting for the mail to arrive in next few days.

I am wondering if this has something to do with my son turning 14 years yesterday (i.e. June 11th). Is there any kind of RFE sent for this type of situation?

Please advise.

Thank you for your help.

Your H-1B stays valid for as long as it is approved, even if you enter using AP.

If you enter with AP, you become a parolee (based on the fact that you get an I-94 with parolee status on it). Then you resume your work with the H-1B employer. After few months, for some reason your I-485 gets denied. Do you become out of status since your status was parolee?

Your Approval Notice is sent to the attorny not to you.If the current one you have is original one from attorney then your wife has to out of country immediately and enter with I94 ...Please note I94 is the one that determines you status in this country...

Last year the top 5 countries in EB got all these visas:

Total EB ****** 159,081
Philippines ***** 23,733
India ********* 17,169
Korea ******** 10,886
China ******** 9,484
Mexico ****** 8,864

The actual limit is 7% of the total EB plus FB which is:
(140,000 + 226,000) * .07 = 25,620

What is FB of 226,000 ?

I am new to SLR photography so I do not have any lenses or leanings to any particular manufacturer. My US$1000 has to buy atleast one lense to get me up and running.

I was going to buy the Digital Rebel but I am now considering waiting to see what the Olympus Evolt performs like. I need to have a camera before mid December as I am going on vacation.

Any comments? Is four-thirds here to stay?

:confused:

I filed my LC on June 06. The Certification was denied on Feb 07, I filed an appeal right away, and I have not heard anything. I called the DOL so many time and they gave me the same response: "Your case is in process, we work on first in, first out, and we do not expedited cases, we don't have a frame time" That is not a concrete answer.
There is any body that faced a similar situation, Please advised�. what to do!!!!
Thank u.
