We legals who are waiting in line have another setback with news like below

Illegal immigration: Influx of immigrants from India baffles border officials in Texas - latimes.com (http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-border-indians-20110206,0,3295315.story)

last week we heard about Trivalley.

eb-3 -> eb2 seems like a minuscule problem now.

We are self destructing ourselves by making US gov loose complete trust on indian credibility with few of the above among hundreds of nuances we are causing.

If you are like me.. always following rules.. light at the end of tunnel seem to be diminishing very quickly than what we thought.

Ok , just got off the phone with my lawyer.He says we can not file a I485 because the priority date is not current. EB3 is showing 01OCT01 and we can only file that form when the bulletin is showing April2002. He says we are not eligible for that...And then he said "if the date was current, you would be in Turkey for consular processing and will not need file"

Is there a maximum limit for duration one can stay away from USA and come back on Advance Parole ?

I got 7 years of experience, i have submitted those experience letters while filing, what they are asking is that the job description is missing from experience letters.

the companies which i have worked for they no longer exists.

ofcourse that is what they want,the job description. What you have done during those 7 years. You need to put that in experience letter.

Indian students in US cross 100,000 mark- Visa Power-Travel-Services-News By Industry-News-The Economic Times (http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/services/travel/visa-power/Indian-students-in-US-cross-100000-mark/articleshow/5241333.cms)

The number of students from India enrolled in US universities and colleges crossed 100,000 for the first time ever this year even as Most expensive cities for expats

international enrollments in America registered the largest percentage increase since 1980, defying broad economic trends.

As the number of international students at colleges and universities in the US increased by 8% to an all-time high of 671,616 in the 2008/09 academic year, students from India made up 103,260 of the overall number, according to the Open Doors report, which is published annually by the Institute of International Education (IIE) in collaboration with the US government.

The Indian numbers went up 9.2 per cent from 94,563 in 2007/2008 to cross 100,000 for the first time to retain its position as the top place of origin for international students in the United States. China remained in second place, although there was a sharp 21 per cent spike in students from China, going up from 81,127 last academic year to 98,235 this year. South Korea (69,000 to 75,000) remained in third place.

This is the eighth consecutive year that India has remained in the top spot. In course of a preview of the forthcoming visit to Washington of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh next week, Indian officials said on Monday that Indian student inflow contributed nearly $ 3 billion to the US economy last year. Overall, international students contribute $17.8 billion to the US economy, through their expenditures on tuition and living expenses, according to the US Department of Commerce.

Authors of the report said the findings do not reflect the full impact of the past year's economic downturn, since decisions to come to the United States to study were made before the financial effects were fully felt in the sending countries.

Because 2006 is CURRENT.

You probably have to wait for your YEAR to become CURRENT.


I see...

That sounds like a valid point. :)

I don't know what triggers these changes, I have seen my last updated date changed today as well. The letter I got from NSC also said the same thing as yours, that the case is now at TSC.

I think you have to just wait and let USCIS do its thing. Not sure calling them will help as the priority dates are not current .

How many people will be able to file their I-485 because of May Visa Bulletin 2007 since EB3 for world move Aug. 2002 to Aug. 2003 ?

How many people will be able to file their I-485 if EB3 for world move Aug. 2003 to Aug. 2004 ?

How many people from India and China can file their 1-485 if EB3 for India and china move to Aug. 2003 ?

How many people from India and China can file their 1-485 if EB3 for India and china move to Aug. 2004 ?

Here is the short version of how it unfolded. I've seen some quick responses from USCIS.

9/15/2010 - USCIS email indicating that cards mailed for both me and spouse
9/16/2010 - Spouse received card
9/21/2010 - Got email (LUD) that my card returned undelivered.
9/22/2010 - Called customer service updated the address
9/23/2010 - Got my card in mail (wrapped in an usps priority envelope) with tracking number

I was pleasantly surprised with the fastness of USCIS.

Thanks,

Yes we got the card after a month.
It went to a place where we never lived not sure how it went there.
Anyway we didnt get the notices yet.
Just the card.

I was in a similar situation.. not exaclty the same...
I had an approved I 140 and then I got the Notice of Intent To Deny, similar reason. This is what I did.

- I called my unversity and asked them to send me a detail syallbus of the courses I attended
- A letter from a third part evaluator
- An indetail letter from my HR as to what my courses where and how the courses pertain to my work.
- A detailed letter from the attorney.

looks like you do not have any thing to worry, if you took math courses and your syllabus states that then you should be ok. Make sure that you mention in very much detail and repetedly about the courses you took so that they wont miss it. Good luck I am certian you will be ok.

Just out of curiosity, how can they issue intent to deny to an approved 140?

I doubt that you need BS in CS. I have a BS degree in Chem engg but recently my I-140 got approved without any issue.

Yha i got my EAD through Spouse.

Is corp to corp a better option or should i ask my other XYZ company to file for my H1B?

Okay..Here is the deal..If you are on H1B currently and do NOT have any paystubs for longer than a month (usually), then you face the risk of getting an RFE from USCIS regarding your status.

This is YMMV meaning you may get it or you may not, nobody can say for sure...It all depends on how closely USCIS looks at your case.

If you have been on H1B status without paystubs longer than 183 calendar days, you have bigger problems. My recommendation in that case is to get a good attorney ASAP.

If you feel your case status so far does not have any major legal or immigration issues, my suggestion is to use the EAD to work and make sure you renew it on time and stay in AOS. The downside to that is if your spouse's 485 has any issues and gets denied, then you are immediately out of status. (If that happens, you probably have more to worry about than just your status)

As always, take the above with a pinch of salt and consult an attorney in moments of doubt...!

Thanks!

Raj

Hi Raj
Ur RD is dec21st.Now according to nsc processing date they r processing jan1st 2007 cases.So wait till next update if u didnt get before that u ask ur lawyer or employer to open SR.i dont think there is any paper work for that.They need to call and talk to IO and open.but i donno the procedure so check with quizzer.

:eek: I don't get it.

How can someone call themselves anti-immigrant? Those people who belong to the Anti-Immigrant group is actually an immigrant themselves somewhere in time.

We all surely knows who is native american, right?

Lets not forget, America was and continues to prosper because of hardworking and honest immigrants..

My spouse's employer will apply for her H1B shortly (she is on F1 right now). Her passport expires in March 2007 but the Indian consulate does not allow you for a renewal earlier than 6 months of the expiration date.

Does USCIS have any requirements for validity dates for passport when application for H1B is sent?

I would appreciate, if any of you can answer this question either through their personal experience or their knowledge.
I recently got my H1b visa renewed(& transferred) for 3 years based on a previous I-140 approved from my earlier job. I would like to get my H1b visa stamping done either at Mexico or Canada based on the current validity(for 3 years) of my H1b approval. If after stamping, I change companies will I need to get a new stamping to reflect the new company on my passport? If I don't need to get a new stamping, then if I travel to my home country and then return to US, will it cause a problem at the border post if my H1b approval paper shows a different company than that on the passport? Your advice in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

I didn't quiet get from your message whether the "08xxxxxxx" has an "A" preceding it. In all probabilty it should.

If it indeed has an "A". It is a A# so you might as well forget about deducing on a visa # being assigned based on the A# on the FP :)

An according the website you referred to, nowhere does he mention about a visa #. The A# being assigned for life has nothing to do with a visa # !

All,

I'm trying to understand if it is a general practice of USCIS to specify an A# on the FP notice. My FP notice has an A# that starts with 08xxxxxxx. I wonder if it is the actual visa number since according to http://www.kkeane.com/general-faq.shtml my number is the visa number:

<QUOTE>
There actually are four separate types of A#. You can tell them apart by the number of digits and the first digit. The first kind is an eight-digit A#. These are manually assigned at local offices. If you have one of these numbers, simply treated it as if it was "0" plus the number. Nine-digit A#'s that start with the digit 1 are used for employment authorization cards, usually related to students. Nine-digit A#'s that start with the digit 3 are used for fingerprint tracking of V visa applicants. All other nine-digit A#'s (these actually always start with a 0) are permanent A#'s and remain permanently with you for life.

Therefore, the rule is: if you are asked for an A# and have one, always give this A#, regardless of whether it starts with a 0, 1 or 3. If you have both a 0-A# and a 1-A# or a 3-A#, then use the one that starts with a 0.

My PD for EB3 was current in the June 2007 bulletin and I applied for AOS on 06/28.

Congratulations !!! Happy for you, enjoy your freedom.
