Mike Tyson Tattoos

gcwait,

This was his first job after graduation and has remained there since, so there is only one co to show experience from.

I guess I will ask him to get something addressed for some other purpose like Tom suggested.

Your friend needs to carry all the original degree certificates, original job offer letter from the US company, his resume, H1-B approval, original past experience certificates as mentioned in the resume.

The Embassy official will look at the H1-B approval, original degree certificates, glance thru passport, check the offer letter, check the H1-B approval and may opt to check the experience certificates.

If your previous company has closed down, there isnt any way you can port the PD.

PD transfer can be done if you have an approved I-140. Since you didnt reach that stage and also since the company is no longer around ( which kills any possibility of filing 140 with them ) , you wouldnt be able to port your PD.

Also for PD transfer through approved I140, your job responsibilities, your location of work etc do not play any role.


Thanks for the reply. I guess no luck is good luck in the present immigration system.:mad:

We(My wife and I) recently (July 2009) got our FPs done. immediately after that our cases got transferred from TSC to VSC.

PD: Feb 14, 2005.

I thought VSC is not processing any I-485 applications. Is anyone else in the same status ?

Also, I have to apply for EAD and AP.. Do I apply in TSC or VSC ?:confused:

Please help! :(

Do you know why your case got transfered to VSC. Do you live in Vermont or NH?

I got my i-140 copy and I changed employer. now it is good that we can file 485 without help of employer, how do we make sure that previous employer revoked or cancelled my 140?

Please clarify. your help would be much appriciated.

1 (800) 375-5283 and follow the voice instructions.

Please let me know, which center you opened Service Request and is there any phone number, I can call USCIS.

If you have EAD and have stayed in this country for some years, why don't you try to get unemployment benifits by going to the county office. Secondly, there are more people in this country like you who had lost the job. check the welfare section and check for foodstamps. There is no reason to run back to your country. Face this oppurunity rather than running back.
I would advise you to save money for the flight ticket and other expenses as cash in hand and go to the county for help. Use your rights. In the worst case go back to your country.
If you wish to go out of US for 3-4 years, the best thing to do is close the accounts. If you don't have direct deposit of your paychecks in your account you would need to pay account maintenance fee. I paid 10 dollars as account maintenance fee for 6 months.

Thats great news, berkeleybee. You should probably point out that several members may have contributed hundreds or even thousands of dollars,
(including the core team.)

This is a great achievement. I deeply respect the involvement and the efforts of the core team members.

you can get 3 years extesion
change this lawer , he do't kow aything or trying to save company money .

To be very clear what I�m saying below is what I heard from a friend. I do not have a first hand knowledge

My friend�s neighbor works full time for BOfA and went visiting to India in March and went to the Consulate in Hyd for stamping, his stamping was rejected with a reason that his H1 was sponsored by a TARP funded company. Now if this is true this could just be becasue at that point USCIS had not come out with its TARP guidelines and the situation now may be different. My friend knows this because the victim here called him to take care of his belongings in the APT etc..

Now I also work for a TARP bank full time and get to hear this from other colleges. Again I want to reiterate, I do not have first hand info. This was told to me by a friend whose neighbor now is supposedly stuck in India for a min of 6 months

If this guy in question was working for BOFA before this TARP CRAP was introduced the embassy can not deny him h1b stamp as he would have an approved petition and any petition approved before TARP CRAP law came into its existence can not be denied on the basis of TARP CRAP law.

I really doubt that his h1b was denied due to TARP.

Now that we have the people aware through Flowers, we can go for the big kill.
Advertize in Newspapers in D.C., State capitals or National newspapers
We can contribute ti IV and IV can advertize.
Half page ad with facts, events and Rep. Lofgren letter.
Nothing works better than mass media awareness
What do you think IV?

I remember one yawl (I guess Chinese national) who participated in flower campaign. You can PM him and see if he/she is from aroung NY area.

Does anyone know what is the official term for your legal status if you are on EAD and no longer on H-1? I am trying to fill up an online form for opening an IRA and it asks whether I am
a) Citizen of US or Permanent Resident or
b) Citizen of Another Country and specifically, under what status (but only lists B, H, etc as valid visas - there is not EAD visa category!)

Of course, I am not a Permanent Resident yet but I don't believe I qualify under H visa anymore either since my H1 is not valid any longer.

Thanks for you help.

TRUE, until IV co-ordinates rally on specific dates.. we members need to have that momentum flowing...


I thank the idea of initiating and going about this so quickly. But if the IV or the majority of them here decide that they are going to hold rallies in San Jose/DC area, then I would not be able to participate since I don't see much representation in Denver/Boulder area.

I would appreciate that IV and/or its core members support the concept of sending more flowers/letters/cards etc.

Nothing of this kind is overdoing here.
Send Cards/Letters and more flowers

Keep the momentum going. This is not a one time affair

1) I agree with all who are asking you to quit and get your H1-B transfered, but my concern is whether your H1-B is still valid or not as your I-140 has been revoked or is still in consideration.

You can search for a company and file for a transfer and can still stay with this company till you get an answer. You can hold multiple H1-B's at the same time.

2) Time taken for an H1-B approval varies, it all depends on your fate.
I would suggest that you give $1000 and get it premium and you would get an answer in two weeks.

3) Yes you can file Labor and I-140 again with the new employer before 2009 and can take extensions.

These are my suggestions, it would be better that you consult a good lawyer to be contended as the lawyer would be dealing with cases more like these then we.

Thanks for your replies. I'll see what I can do to improve.

now days there is 'Returning Workers quota' in VFS and US embassy. visit VFS in person and take advantage of that process.

cheers

Interesting..If I visit VFS in person when I'm in Chennai, How soon will I get the appointment. My visa expires in Feb'07 and I'm going to Chennai for 3 weeks in Nov. So If I don't get appt I can always try for the next trip..

semi??? ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

On the infopass web site, there are four categories, and I can't relate to any of them. I don't have an SR because the rep refused to open one; I don't have a notice. Is it still possible to go for infopass?

We offer 4 kinds of appointments for a case that you have already filed. Please choose from the following -
Order from Immigration Court - If you were directed to us for processing based on an order from the Immigration Judge. You must bring all documents required in the post order instructions given to you by the court.

Case Processing Appointment - If you received a notice to go to your local office for further case processing.

EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.

Case Services follow-up appointment - If it has been over 45 days since you contacted NCSC and have not received a response to your inquiry. You must bring the Service Request ID Number related to your inquiry to the appointment.

You made a different selection at the first step.

Under
Please select Kind of Service you need
You need Service on a case that has already been filed

You are a new Permanent Resident and have not yet received your Permanent Resident Card

You want to file an application in person

You need information or other services

You need a form.

You are a United States Military Member, Military Retiree or a Military Dependant


I guess you chose option 1. Here if you choose "You need information or other services" you can schedule one. Try your luck with infopass - it depends on the IO you talk to. Tell them that the customer service rep told you to go to infopass to get the PP stamped.

Hi,
How much time did they give you for responding to the RFE?
Also any one has a sample of the affidavit?

Thanks


I DID NOT GET rfe BECAUSE i have submitted all the documents upfront along with 485 application. For affadavit format.. go to this link..and see formats ...

Birth Certificate Unavailable / Affidavit for I-485 - ImmigrationPortal Forums (http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?t=144485)

Vivek Dude, I don't know about that...

After speaking to my lawyer, it is my understanding that when you use EAD or AP, you are no longer on H1 and it is considered AOS. However, you can reapply for H1 after you use your AP...As far as I know AP does have an affect on your immigration status...Please someone correct me if you know for sure that AP does not affect H1/H4 status...

For the OP, please consult with other lawyers or chat with someone on free immigration lawyer chat forums...

AP - Is for travel purpose,no connection to your work status in US.
EAD - is your work status .If you use it your H1b is envalid.
