congratulation to all winner... especially to winner who use the "stargate" background and put the text only...

nice contest.....

Is your question about Approved 140 or Pending 140.
I am also curious to know.
As far as I know, employer has to just send a letter to USCIS with the 140 receipt number which states that they want to revoke it and USCIS will locate the file with 485 and revoke it too.
Bad but what can we do ???????

Depending upon the uscis announcement in a day or two (i.e,7/17 or 7/18)things may change for the short term so we will plan any specific action item after that.

But for now lets continue to urge everyone we know in Texas to join IV to continue pursuing our efforts as much intelligent, elite and vivid group for acheiving our goals and objectives.

Can I expect Conference call this Sunday (07/21) ? Please provide me the Phone number / Any password-Pin/ ANd time for the conference call.

I would appreciate if any of you could shed light on the following scenario:

If 485 is pending for over six months and someone switched the job using AC21 for a position which would require extended stay [upto 2-3 years] outside the US. Would it any way impact the GC process? Given that priority date is 2007, it is unlikely(?) that 485 would be adjusted in that time.

Thanks

you will need to come back to atleast get AP approvals (AP expires every year), and if you are served a fingerprint notice, then come back for that. If you are going to be definately out for the next few years, another option is to do consular processing; talk to a lawyer it depends a lot on your specific case.

How many of these 7 toppers are from Telengana and how many are from your district?

This news is not related to immigration but one about Tri Valley University is. About 1000 students, mostly from Andghra pradesh face deportation for immigration fraud.

Called Senator Tom Price - 770-565-4990. Was asked the Bill #.
What's the Bill # and which house is it being introduced in?

can anyone answer this

I know a person who had to leave his employer only after 60 days of filling his 485(not even 180 days for ac21) and still got GC.

There are thousands who already working for new employer using AC21 after 180 days.

and you are scared to death even after getting GC. Let me ask you this...are you a man or chicken?

Hi Logiclife
The 2004-2005 more usuage of EB visas for Indians is done because those were approved through AC21's unused visas i believe between 1999-2000 which are quota independent and not just from the annual quota of 140K. Hence in 2004-2005 there were more usuage. Starting from 2006 only thing left is the annual quota of 140K with per country quota of 7% at the max which has to be split among several EB categories in some proportions (roughly 1/3 among EB1, EB2, Eb3).The spillovers within 7% alone can be redistributed within a country's EB quota in the final quarter of the year. Hence the max India can get is 7% no matter how much gets spilled over from the rest of the world. THe only way to get the spillover back into the picture is another law enactment everytime it happens to get it back which is slow and painful process. Hence in nutshell to remove retrogression the easiest way is to remove country cap is or increase it . Else it is always going to stay even if annual quota is increased or through anyother measures. Hence I would recommend positively IV to focus on doing it and not mere increasing the quota.

Isn't EAD for unrestricted employment as long as your primary job is similar to what was in the labor application?

What if the one's priority date becomes current and USCIS asks for proof of employment? Wouldn't the application be denied?


Hello,

My 2-cents:

1. Your EAD is for unrestricted employment till the AOS is resolved (so, it is not tied to your labor petition)

2. Your AP is a travel document to allow you to travel while AOS is pending (again, not tied to employment)

As such, for all legal purposes, you should be able to pursue education full time. However, any IO at entry post has authority to ask you questions beyond what is legally required, which many a times, includes 'are you still employed with the petitioner'.

This is the tricky part... if the IO has good knowledge of the laws, he would let you in 'cause your petition is for the future job, but a wrong IO can twist and turn the laws to suit his/her point of view and land you in unnecessary trouble.

However, in 99% of the cases, the trouble may mean a few more anxious hours at the port of entry and nothing more. Hope you are able to pursue your education, all the best! :)

I love the color saturation on the first one. Very well done. My one complaint ( a small one) is that bright object in the grass a little above and to the right of the watermark. I don't know if it's a rock or a stump or what but I'd suggest cloning that out.

It'll distract those of us with "shiney-object syndrom" :D

You are correct. He have no option. Find a job, go back and tell them to do process the H1B, and do consular interview and stamping and come clean. You may have difficulty in approving the petition, or the process may take several months.
What you did a big mistake to ditch a company and go to a sucker. You are not supposed to start with the new company till you get the RECEIPT NOTICE after file for H1B. THAT IS A MISTAKE AND YOU ARE DID ILLEGAL ACTIVITY/JOB FROM THAT POINT OF TIME.

You have no choice but leave US immediately, go for CP, declare your overstay in the DS156 form, come clean to the VO and hope they forgive it.

Good Luck!

Sorry for the stupid question.
Is it necessary to inform CIS about job change using AC21?
Few of my friends havent informed.

Thanks for the inputs guys.

I am having enough time to pick the passport. I am doing visa interview on the first day of landing in india.

It would be great if any body could suggest specific hotel to stay in Mumbai.

Thanks

In this circumstance it is fine to file an H-1 petition while the L-1B appeal is pending.

Friends,

I apoligizeif I was posting this message in the wrong section.

I'm on H1B and filed my 140/485 concurrently in Aug 2007. Can I do ONLINE MBA with out affecting GC process?

Yes.
I think you can take classes (online or even regular in-class) as long as you maintian your primary H1B status - i.e. continue to work with the employer on the specified job/number of hours etc.

(note: I am not a lawyer)

I resubmitted my I-485 petition sometime Nov 2008. So far no receipt, made a query with USCIS. Now I got letter from USCIS saying that they did not found my package, they want me resubmit with all the evidence and previous of copy of application.

We have been planning to go to India and get it stamped since we are in 6th year. My company is such a lowsy company (If god is there, he should punish this BLOOD SUCKING TECHNOLOGIES COMPANY HEAVILY) they will take resubmittal of 485 for another couple of months.

Should I have to wait some more time and just send family for their trip mean time? Write letter to OmBudsman....


mate have you heard of thread hijacking? anyways looks like you have a weird one...when you say "resubmitted" it seems like they have lost your application once before as well? How are they accepting 485 application for you? what category are you in and whats your pd?

Folks,

Does anyone know what's going on with the immigration bills? The last 3 weeks saw some new bills introduced in Congress. But no action seems to be taken or planned for these bills!

Matthew Oh has posted a link to SKIL Act of 2007 on his blog. I don't know what to make of this posting -- does it mean that it has been introduced in the Senate in the sense that it is ready for debate? Or does it mean that it has just been assigned a bill number and is now ready to catch dust.

Does anyone have any updates to share with the rest of us?

Thanks,
Andy

I got the Card Production Ordered e-mail today. No LUD even last night at 1 Am. Only one LUD today. My case is processed at Texas service center. And my receipt date is not with in their processing times.

Good luck to everyone.

Congrats and Best Wishes

My Dear friends I need your valuable suggestion. I have decided and fixed my mind to return home after 8 years as I recently got laid off after working 4 years in same company. My EB2 LC was pending last three years Dallas backlog. My previous employer will mail me W2 to my India home address. I do not know how to file Tax from India. Do I need to buy Turbo Tax software before leaving home? You can understand my present scenario. Any kind input will be much appreciated.

There's another thread with same details being discussed in the forum.

SUIT OR NO SUIT, BUT

The question is, how will this rally look and feel different from illegal immigrant rally?
