None... as I did not seem to see anywhere in the filing instruction that W2 is needed... unless there is some change. Who knows nowadays...;)

Correct - None is the answer! My law firm (Fragomen) didnt ask for them when they submitted my docs on JUly 2. Maybe they are needed if the USCIS comes back with an RFE.

This is unreal !!.

I just asked 2 basic questions AND i get reply completely irrelevant of those questions and i am the one who is being accused.

By the way, Gangutoleogleoddl or whatever - No , absolutely no time to reply to your irrelevant talk. Infact its a waste to read your post.

Reddog, GCPool - hats off to you guys staying sane over here.

Good luck everybody.

I am in my 8th year extension which is ending in April, My attorney think its 100% win case for one main reason

my labor is filed EB3 Skilled worker

he mentioned with in EB3 there are 2 categories Skilled and professional

for EB3 professional USCIS has complete authority to deny based educational requirements and they can define educational requirements based on job profile.

but for eb3 skilled employer has complete discretion of defining edu requirements.

mine was filed in eb3 skilled and ETA clearly says client will accept 3 year foreign degree.

h thinks any second eye would have approved this but it was unfortunate to be processed by a adjudicator who does have comeplete knwledge and does not know difference between eb3 prof and eb3 skilled

his plan of action is to send them evaluations from multiple academies as you guys have mentioned.

and it looks very fishy from the denial letter

denial states I have now taken any maths courses in graduation but course in physics and chemistry in graduation, and one math course in intermediate which is not sufficient.

and maths is mentioned between physics and chemistry we don't know how he could miss that, Intermediate transcripts does mention mathematics.

I can paste exact content of denial by tomorrow.

No it is not dead as i am still renewing my EAD with the same company. My H1 was denied as USCIS was asking about the client info after my project was over.

I just receive the best Christmas gift I could ever ask for?? My name check and background check is clear after 2 years.....Now I'm receive my GC so I can start traveling......All my interview was approve so now they are (order card)....Enjoy ur Holiday.......

were delaying his GC. He/She/It/Them/They need to take English Test............. and many of them..................

Any other thoughts?

I am not sure if we are still updating the document to cite more examples. If so one another good candidate: Jeong H. Kim, President of Bell Laboratories. One of the most influential Asian American Technologist/Enterpreuner. http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/kim1bio-1
http://www.lucent.com/corpinfo/bios/kim.html

I am sure we can give many more examples (I can think of a few immediately in my area, Pradeep Sandhu founder of Juniper which employes thousands now; Desh Deshpande who co-founded Cascade/Sycamore etc; Hassan Mohammad, CEO of Sonus; Arun Netravali, former president of Bell Labs; Krish Prabhu, CEO of Telllabs etc.etc.etc.etc.)

Candidate should be physically present in USA, on the date of AP approval. Otherwise, that AP is not valid. When the candidate try to enter US, the IO will verify this information and may permit accordingly.
I-485 application considers abandoned, if a candidate leaves US without any valid Visa to re-enter. Remember, H1 / H4 cannot be stamped after I-485 approval.

I'm a layman like you, please consult an attorney.

Thanks for the replies guys....

TXH1B,

The RFE as per my employer is about Vendor/Client Details and a latest paystub from the current job. Since I started working already and was getting paid, my employer generated a paystub and supplied the same.

I am scared to death .. I have EAD ...hELP .. cAN I WORK FOR 2 COMPANIES.
Can i move around the jobs ..Please i can't sleep ... all night i am just peeeeing.

If Bush says anything this concrete - THEN HE WILL. Lot of times it looked very stupid when he said like this but finally it gets done. We should prepare to see what ammendments we can include

Karthik

once EB3 Row gets current, some relief can be expected for the retrogressed countires where unused visas can be assigned...
before 2007, lot of labor substitution cases are in picture, also people with multiple LC's too...
the actual no. will be smaller...it just depends on how proactively they will manage to capture the unused numbers etc..that will matter the most.

About 25,000 PERM labors were approved in 2007 for Indian nationals. Assuming a 2.5:1 ratio of 'GC filed:Labor approved', implies that each year 62,500 GC are demanded by Indians under EB. Since only 10,000 are available (across all EB classes), this implies each year a backlog of 50,000 cases is created for Indians.

Since PD are essentially retrogressed from Nov. 2005, we can assume that since then another 100,000 Indians have joined the GC backlog. It can also be assumed that between 2001 and Nov. 2005 there must be another (atleast) 50,000 waiting for GC.

Assuming these numbers are correct, a person filing for labor today is looking to wait for atleast 15 years before getting a GC (150,000/10,000).

As for those wth PD prior to Nov. 2005 - well..... probably anywhere between 1 to 5 years .....

Comments on the analysis.........?

I have a masters in Electrical engineering. And my job duties is system administration or say system analyst.

The way EB2 is progressing now, it looks like you might get your GC in a year or two. I would definitely recommend staying with current company. Once you have GC you can choose any job you want and earn more too:-). Also, it might help you spouse with tution and job (in case no one sponsers H1). So, I would think patience is the Key.

If you really want to switch to Top company then have them sponsor in EB2 by porting priority date. If that company cannot sponsor in EB2 and you are more interesting in career the choose an other Top company that would sponsor you GC in EB2. After all they all are just consulting companies no matter big or small. If it is a client then I might grab the opportunity even though they sponsor in EB3 as at least you might be safe with them (if you are lucky!!) and don't have to travel.

Makes sense??

Quick point:

I would request members to please post their threads under the proper forum header. The issue raised by this thread has nothing to do with IV Agenda or Legislative issues.

wow .. 483 posts! Way to go!

Hello,

Sorry to be posting here but how do I start a new post?
Here is my situation:

My husband started GC and our PD is nov 2006. I 140 approved. I am on H1 B. Now, my husband decided to move out of country for studies. So, our application is abandoned right? We have not received any RFEs so can he still apply for AP? Otherwise, how else can he visit USA...H4? Can he still get H4? If yes can it be applied from any US embassy? What all documents are needed? OR should he just try tourist visa now?

Thank you!

I e-filed EAD in June 2009 and the case is at NSC.....they did sent me some notice on Friday - which I am yet to receive - not sure if it is going to be a FP notice or request for evidence.

Got the cards in the mail. My online case status says the application is still pending.

Folks (those whose PDs are current this month),

Check with your attorney, in your mail boxes along with the online USCIS case status. You may get the good news in your mail box or from your attorney's office before your status is updated online.

This is what my attorney had to say:

The USCIS online status system is maintained by contract workers and is often inaccurate.

My Online status got updated today. Snail mail is faster than email - happens only with USCIS. Anyways, my journey is over. Good luck to others.

Legislation is being prepared by U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) that would make it easier to get permanent residency or Green Cards for advance degree graduates. Lofgren, who represents Silicon Valley, has not introduced her proposal, but she is a veteran of immigration issues.

Previous efforts by Lofgren have attempted to make it easier for foreign students who earn advance degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, the so-called STEM degrees, to remain in the U.S. Her latest proposal is broader.

Among the things Lofgren may seek to accomplish in this bill is to create a new Green Card category for advanced degree graduates with STEM degrees, and to enable employers to file immigrant petitions for any of these students, eliminating the need for an H-1B visa for these employers. Out of the 85,000 H-1B visas allowed each year, 20,000 are set aside for STEM graduates.

U.S. Rep Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) introduced something similar last month. But Lofgren's proposal may go further by seeking protections for U.S. workers by barring their displacement by an H-1B worker, a move that may be aimed at firms that primarily deliver offshore services.

I am curious to know this as I quit company A and moved to company B after I got my I140 approved from Company A
And the HR from Company A specifically told me that they would revoke my I140.
But my case status online says that the application has been sent to DoS for visa processing.
It's been more than 3 months I quit Company A.
Probably, it would show up under the case status that I140 has been revoked or something like that.

Anyone has any exp. regarding this?

The damage is already done, so now why would they care about any immigration laws, legal or illegal, I pray everyday, for that one day all the xenophobics jumping the fence, because the way I see it no ILLEGAL drugs will be available unles you live in Detroit , the supply and demand will cause them to start a new visa program, which the xenophobics will support overwhelmingly.
