Munnabhai,

I have recevied I-140 RFE on all of the above u mentioned 1,2,3. i have 3 years degree.Labour doesnt match with edu.i am hpoing to get reject :).thats what attorney saying.

If you are serious..then be careful and prepare yourself to transfer H1b and start GC fresh.

Infopass should be able to get you NC info. It just depends on the IO officer there.
I had Infopass appointment at San Jose yesterday and the IO officer was very sweet. She told me my NC status.

Nebraska is not actively processing India EB2 cases.
Texas - we have no idea what they are processing on .RD/ND//PD.. God knows.. Its random most probably.

Ideally, if NC has been pending for more than 6 months they should not from approving 485. Again this is luck. !!

Hope this helps..

I had an infopass appointment at San Francisco today to inquire about my name check. I am a July 2007 485 filer. PD March 2006, I140 - May 2006, 485 RD- July 27, 2007 and ND- Aug 27, 2007.

The agent said that they dont hold cases for name check any more since April 2008 and cannot tell what is the status of the name check. I also inquired about my 485 case and she said pointing to the Notice Date of my 485 not the Receipt DATE, that currently Nebraska is processing Aug 10th cases.

I wanted to know from you whether there is any other way to get the info about name check and whether the processing is based on Reciept date or notice date?

Any idea?

cheers

I am hoping to travel via emirates to bangalore..I have avoided other airlines due to transit visa issues...any experince using Emirates??.

I have traveled on Emirates to Chennai a couple of times but that was via London. Emirates is definitely among the top 5 airlines in the world in terms of customer service. Nice & comfirtable seats, great food, transit at Dubai was a breeze. Would definitely recommend :)

My LCA was approved in July 2007.

My lawyer sent the I-14 application to USCIS in January 2008 before the 180 day period but my employer dated the USCIS fee check as 2005.

The USCIS returned the application asking us to re-send the application with a new check.

My lawyer sent the application again with a new check but by the time this application reached USCIS the 180 day period was over and USCIS returned the application again stating that my 180 period is over and they cannot accept the I-140 application now.

I am in the process of filing a fresh Labor Cert again. I guess now I will get a priority date of July 2008 and therefore I am losing 1 whole year in this process.

Is there a way out and will USCIS accept my application? The bad part here is the first application sent was before time but the check date was wrong.

All suggestions are highly appreciated.

In order to get EB1 visa via L1 visa route I believe you need to be on L1 at present and also hold a senior manager level position in your multinational company and command good salary. If you want to try for EB1 proving yourself to be extraordinary, then you need to satisfy at least 3 criterias mentioned in another post on this thread. This kind of EB1 catagory is very tough and unless you can really prove that you are a genious and extraordinary, its not worth spending money.

What is ur PD, ND, RD and Service Center?

sorry to hear about your denial.

Regarding my friend, His 140 was denied but he was already on EAD by then.His 485 was not denied ( maybe they were not processing his 485 at that point.He is a july 07 filer under EB3-I). The appeal for 140 denial was filed and it is still pending(8 months now). Meanwhile a 2 yr EAD has been approved.

I am not sure if this process is followed for everyone as each case has its variables.....
hope this helps...

What is the best way to change representation of one's case from the company lawyer to Self? Also, how long does it take for this change to take effect?

I am in a similar situation as mentioned on this thread and would like any communication regarding my case from USCIS to come to me and not the lawyer who filed my I-485 since I am leaving my current employer.

Any insight into how to tackle this would be very helpful. Thanks!

Usually in that instance, you should receive a NOID from the USCIS. It goes to your lawyer. Which is why, if you are absolutely sure that your employer will revoke the I-140, it is better to file for AC21 with your own lawyer.(Not the company lawyer). In such a case, even if USCIS sends a notice to deny, it will reach your lawyer rather than the company's lawyer

Applied July 23rd NSC. Receipt notice July 23rd and again another receipt September once my case went to CSC and back to NSC.

Got AP and EAD issued from CA (laguna Niguel USCIS) though not without headaches (RFE on AP)

took infopass appointment last week and officer said FPs havent been issued because Background check still not cleared for me (wife cleared but she will not get FP notice until mine is cleared). This is possibly the same reason you have not received yours. looks like i am stuck for the long haul in name check clearance.

good luck to you!

even mine is 23rd july case..and is ur case status still showing "transferred to NSC blah blah..." ?

But you cannot directly use the old 140 for filing a new 485

Krishmunn, thanks for your reply. I understand that I have to apply labor and I140 again. But my question was how do I port the priority date when I do not have the approved copy of my I140 with me. What if the old employer cancels my i140?

All I have is the old i140 receipt and the receipt number online shows approved status.

Thanks

Don't be. You will be current in Oct and I believe going forward (chances of retrogressing to 2005 is very slim if at all there is any retrogression).

That said, don't wait for USCIS. Be proactive and do all you can. I would suggest

1. Calling the USCIS customer service (get hold of level 2 rep by telling the level 1 your case is outside normal processing time) and try to get the status of your case. Might take few tries before you can get some info.
2. Open an SR.
3. Do the above for your dependents if any.
4. Make infopass (you have already done this).
5. Contact local congress man/woman.
6. Send mail to CIS Ombudsman
7. If your security check is not cleared yet, you can contact FBI (by phone) and find out the status.

(more information on all these can be gotten from simple google search. If not, post here and some one here should be able to help you.)

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate your insight.

I am going all in now.

1. I will call the Customer Service Line tomorrow.

2. I already got the InfoPass for 10/6

3. The letter for my senator is drafted. It will be sent tomorrow.

4. Finally, an email to the Ombudsman has been sent.

Hopefully, there is be some movement.

Weird is cool in my book =)

Thanks for the response !!

This client is a direct client to my company and there are no middle layers or vendors. So like you said if I can get an email from the client that they can't give me the letter via their corporate email would work ? Would this suffice to open a MTR ?

Thanks in advance.

Could someone tell me please.....I'm filling the application for advance parole the first time......what should I write where it is written: " Date of intended departure"...if I dont know exactly when I'm leaving....should I write a date or should I write " I dont know yet?"

And also I read that the documents required are 2 photos, I-485 receipt notice, I-140 approval notice.....is that right? or what other documents do I need?

I would highly appreciate your help!
Thnaks in advance!

Dude i think you have WAYYYY overestimated the processing times!!

I think I might have ....I will not be surprise if they establish BECs for all of these ...:) BECs for AP, BECs for EAD and BECs for 485 ...

The guys who dint have experience with BECS in labor stage will see what BEC means. People like me have to experience more than once ...

If CIR passes in its current form forget about GC for 15 more years ....:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

This is what an american friend of mine mailed me back when I told him that I can finally apply for my 485..

"Glad to hear.

but.... correct me if I'm wrong but that doesn't really mean anything does it?
doesn't that mean that you're just moving from one line (where you can somewhat see your progress) to another line (where there is no update)?

I'm not sure what the 3rd stage means. it's waiting for another 5 or 10 years or something right?
any benefit or anything?"

Afte that I explained him I will get certain benifits like EAD and AP blah ... Here is is response

"well that's cool then. :-)
glad to hear.


So... this means another 3 to 10 years of checking a website every day or... do they not let you do that?
:-)
Just wondering if you'll have any sanity left by the end of that time.
"

My previous employer got to know about this and sued me for stupid and fake charges.

What was the fake charges?
In which state you and your employer were then?

When you mark your calendar, mark it for 182 days to be safe. You never know USCIS and these employers.. Keep yourself safe from all the complications that might arise if you leave on 180th or 181st day (whether first day is included or not, can I leave on 180th day or do i have to wait for 180 days to complete blah blah.. ) :)

To be very very safe, make it 180 Business days.:D :D :D

My AP was approved on Sep2. Still awaiting the AP in mail.

Got notification from lawyer that my RIR for LC got rejected. It is pending in Phily BEC with a PD of Oct 2003.

What does this mean? Kiss my LC good bye? Please explian

Did your lawyer tell you why it got rejected? If not,ask him for more info.

If NSC had put all applications from July 2nd to July 17th on hold.
Did they open and timestamp it ? for received date ??????

If they did not , then I may be lucky.
Because my package had signatures and all other dates of June 29th . The day when we were planning to ship the package, but for july fiasco.

Do you guys think ? they might see this and enter it as received date ?

How stupid a person has to be to even ask a question like this???
