Hello,
okay thanks for your replies..let me reiterate my situation.
I have an Indian passport and I recently got my conditional GC (based on marriage to a USC).I am currently on a holiday in Australia .I got my single entry,3month visit visa to Australia,which was stamped across"Not valid for further travel" at the Sydney airport.

Now my concern..I need to visit India in Sep and I was wondering if I could leave for India and return to Australia without having to apply for a visit visa again,now that I have my GC.
Do I need to apply for visitor visa again to enter Australia ,eventhough I have a US GC (which enables anyone travel any country without a visa) and Indian passport.
Please help answer my question....

Thank you
Tina

Its part of a puzzle game.

She is posting one fraction of the question one site, other fractions on other site.

Now you have to assemble all pieces together and respond to her.

If you win, you get to date her. She is only looking for smart guys and this explains the plot :D

If you win, her husband will be after you...:D

Try h**p://www.maggio-kattar.com. They are my current employer's immigration attorney and they charged $750 for both mine and my wife's case.

Hi All,

I have got fingerprint notice and appointment is after 3 weeks in Charlotte NC. I will not be available on that day and do not want to postpone the appointment.

I would like to prepone the appointment and I tried to find Charlotte USCIS local phone number but could not find anywhere. The only number is general 800 number and that was of no use.

Does anyone have any experience with Charlotte office? Can I just go there and will they do fingerprint any day before actual appointment? Charlotte is around 4 hours drive. It will be painful to drive there and find that they don't do fingerprint before appointment day. What day is normally good if I want to take the chance? Have anyone actually called them and prepone the appointment? What is the local office phone number?

These are two many questions. But all are related. Sorry for being so long and thanks in advance for your response...

rangeela....
Not sure if you can prepone. Call the customer service and check if they can schedule sooner. I think, given the July fiasco/rush, they schedule based on the availabilty of appointment in local office.

Also can you please share you reciept date/notice date and when you received your FP appointment. Was your case directly sent to TSC or got trasnferred to TSC from other center.

Mr Desi - Here is my take on this. Most 485 questions will come up at the time of applying Visa stamp. The consulates dont like the fact that you filed 485.

However, since you have done it legally (like everyone else), my take is that, canadian consulates are more likely to NOT make an issue out of it, unlike Indian consulates. However as always an element of risk is there. Indian consulates are very high risk when you have filed 485.

In case of port of entry, I recently entered US on H1 visa despite having 485 and AP. My wife used her AP at the same time of entry together with me. The officer asked me, "why dont you also use your AP?" I said, I have AP, but I want to use H1 visa if possible. And he said, ok, no problem, its your wish.

So again, depends on the officer you bump into. Both me an my wife had no issue at POE.
However, Mumbai consulate issued her 221(g) for some inexplicable reason.

I would like to know what is the risk if someone filed I-485...is it because he has two labor and I-140 or generic. I couldnt understand your point...?

difficult to classify which company are good or bad, based on each one experience or interest they may like or may not like the company. some struck in a company due to retrogression too. if you are planning to switch company, decide based on your interest/family situation and see whether your future job can give you those. get help from your friends/jobsites like dice.com/monster.com/careerbuilder.com/hotjobs.com to see the job oppurtunities.....good luck.

Disclaimer: Use at your own risk...I'm not an immigration attroney so please consult for your situation as laws/procedures are changing.

Friends,

Can you all post the names of good consulting companies to work for. Let's create a list here.

Thanks,

I am putting an extra freshly painted mailbox with a big bold name in red color and a message-- 'Put my greencard here' for the postman. :)

Lets see how many years it will take for him to finally grant me my wish.

what are the permissible choice of colors? pls i need help...

I feel I had taken the right decision. I moved back to India in Nov 09 itself. I had a PD of feb 08 and was in EB-2 but looking at all the mess,I had decided to move back.

Good for you do you feel in India politics is much better?? man still a forgein lady is ruling India. if you are in India why you bother about this mess. be at peace with yourself. enjoy life. dont bother ..

My PD is now current and I'll be filing 5/1
PD 5/03 EB3 ROW
Thank goodness as I was honestly losing all hope after starting my 8th year in the US. Best wishes to big movements for others from India/China etc.

MINE PD IS ALSO 5/03. R U SURE THAT WE CAN FILE NOW? WHAT IS CURRENT PD FOR INDIA NOW?

THANKS

Though a little off-topic, this is an interesting read

Morchu's suggestion is a very good one. You file for a premium H1 with all the documentation and new approved I140. Can you share why your previous 485 was rejected?

Hi Krishnam70,

Here is my complete details:

Company A:
I was on my 7th year of H-1B visa (6th year expired on Apr30th 2008).
Labor approved Dec, 2006.
I-140 applied in June 2007. (Got RFE regarding my Educational Transcripts
which we responded in time and USCIS received on Dec 5, 2007)
I-485 applied in Sep 2007
Got EID and Advance parole approved.
I-140 Denied on Apr 3 2008.
I-485 Denied on June 26th, 2008(Denied because I-140 was denied).
Applied for MTR (I-120 B)for I-140. But denied again on Feb, 2009.
Applied one more MTR (appeal)for I-140 on March 13th, 2009 (check cashed by USCIS.. receipt copy not yet received).

Company B:
This Company applied for my Labor (Perm) on Apr 21, 2008.
Got Approved on June 24, 2008.
H1 approved for this Company in July 2008 (Valid upto July 13th 2009).
Joined this company in Aug 2008
I-140 approved with this company Jan 2009.
Jan 23, 2009 H1 extension applied... Got denial notice on 30th march 2009 (dt.mar24, 2009)
Denial Reason: I-485 is denied in June 2008. So, I am not eligible under 104(c) or 106 of AC21 act.
Applied MTR(Appeal) on this H1 Denail and got Receipt. Waiting for response.

Thanks
Wish_Good.

1. File I-140 whenever you receive the physical copy.
2. In the mean while your current I-140/I485 application based on substituted
labor will be processed as usual.
3. You can receive EAD/AP (Try not to use it though !!)
4. Whenever your second I-140 is approved and your priority date is current interfile the I-485 based on substituted labor with your approved I-140 with better PD.
Good Luck.

I would go ahead with this option.

It's great that someone started this topic. I've been facing the same discrimination for the past month. A government agency would not recognize my I-797 for H-1B as valid document to prove my legal status. At the same time someone else got approved because he has a H-1B visa stamp in the passport.

Is there something saying that I-797 is a valid and sufficient proof for I-9 and failure to recognize it is discrimination?

Thanks!!!

So, if your dependent has been on H-4 and used some document as proof of marriage, how would you account for two different dates--one for H4 etc, and the other for your US marriage?

actually we did not have marriage certificate after trying hard from india, so we got married only recently. i dont know what will happen because actually we filed tax together as couple for few years.

In the RIR system EB2 was MS + 3 and BS+5.

If BS+5 is still the norm in PERM...how come MS+0 is acceptable under PERM. Did they change the rule....I think this a loophole

It isn't a loophole. That's how the PERM Jobzone/SVP system works.

Hi All,

I am currently on h4 visa and have been searching for a h1 sponsorer to do h1 workpermit visa in the coming april 2009 lottery (if there is one).

I am very new to understand the rules and regulations and seek help from experienced folks here.

1) If i file a non-profit h1b visa , i was suggested that i can work immediately, is that true?

2) If i file a normal h1b visa, now in the april 2009 lottery, is it ok for me to go back to home country after filing the visa, because even if it gets selected and approved in lottery i can work only from oct 2009 right, so what happens if i go to home country, how can i get stamping because i have not yet started work and will not have any pay stubs.

3) I have been searching monster, indeed etc to find a sponsorer for my visa, i attended 2 interviews till now and cleared them too but when it comes to work permit they are not willing to do h1 for me. I have lost all hopes and posting here to find out if there are any companies who are willing to do h1b.

I am not in software field, i am in to bio technology and i am looking for the post of clinical research coordinator or clinical research associate CRA , CRC.

If any of you know any company which does h1b for CRA, CRC it would really be helpful if you could post me the link of the company here.

I know this is a immigration site and not a job search, but i have lost all hope of working here since i have exhausted my search on monster , craigslists indded and other sites.

Am not able to find out who would sponsor h1b for clinical research, so am posting here.

Please help with any info you have. Thanks for your time.

Contact the federal elected representative in your employer's district. If they are not immigrant friendly, try the elected representative in your district (if different). There is a congressional liason inquiry process that can be leveraged to expedite your LC application. My application was pending for 8 months with no new status from DoL. I contacted my employer's congressman, explained the situation, and supplied a letter from my attorny, and my LC was approved within 3 weeks.

this will be approval notice of your H1-B or H1-B extension. Ask your lawyer again what letter he is talking about.

He is talking about the original first letter of approval , not an extension

Just one day at DC will make a huge difference in your lives.

You have to be there to experience it.

Seems to me like a planned execution to torture and frustrate us.

what is GC sponser? ABC company couldnt find a project for me. So i am on bench.

GC Sponsor is the employer who has started your Green Card process...

How did you get your EAD?
