Hi RLNY122004

Please accept my congratulations and enjoy the freedom. Could you please answer the following questions.

1. What do you mean by 'officer told us we will receive our cards in 6 to 8 weeks' Did you take an appointment and visit neary USCIS office?

2. Did you speak on the phone?

3. When was your name check cleared?

4. Did you submit your finger prints recently? if yes was it code 1? 2? 3?

5. Was your I-485 case trasnferred to Texas/Nebraska recently?

I have many more questions but would not bug you, Please provide as much info as possible I would appreciate your reply.

TIA

I just _have_ to ask: what game was that?

Sorry for any confusion. Here are the details :

My husband is on H1B visa and he is in US from past 4 years. I am on H-4 Visa and was in USA from past 2 years. We got extension in 2009 for another 3 years for H1 and H4. My husband stays in US but I came back to India for vacation. I appeared for H-4 visa stamping in US consulate in Delhi. After long wait they denied my H4 visa. My question is:
1) what are the options for me
2) Do they revoke my husband I797 H1 who is in US
3) What I have to do ..like appeal ..new petition..

Please advise..

"I suppose this year's quota for EB3 India is not yet used (as small it may seem). My guess is, when EB3 processing begins, it should get your collegues out in 6 to 9 months from now."

EB3 quota is like a spoon of rice from a bag of basmati :))

--LOL! True, but I thought it is good enough for 5 guys with PDs in 2001.

Not sure if funny is the right term to use here, but this makes me think about
the cold-war era russia/east germany type of bureaucracy.
amazing.

It is worse than that.. :)

Please watch the following youtube video to understand how USCIS works

Friends... does anybody have some idea.

Guys, I dont see any provision to contribute one time $50. Is there any way I can do it ?

Thanks

Is this legal?

Yes.

Is it a common practice?

Apparently.


If for some reason, I485 is denied and you challenge the decision using MTR, will you still be legal status if the MTR process takes several months?

Yes, and you can also work on the EAD, unless the 485 denial notice specifically states that the EAD is also revoked/denied/rendered invalid, in which case, you can't use the EAD to work, but you are still okay to be in the country.

Is there a limit on how many times you can challenge USCIS decision? If they reject your application 10 times and you know the reason they rejected each time is incorrect, do you get to challenge them if you have enough evidence that your application was rejected incorrectly?

Chances of a 485 application being denied multiple times due to the same reason are bleak, although if it does happen (wrongful denial of course), or if it is denied multiple times, but due to a different reason each time, my understanding is that you can keep challenging/appealing the decision.

Good luck.

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.

Hello,

Myself and my spouse are on H1b. I am on H1b(industry) and my Spouse H1b is through non-profit.

Please let us know how best we can be a backup for each other in case of any unavoidable circumstances.

a)If I get laid-off or fired, can I jump to H4 and then come back to H1b without being subjected to cap?

b)What are the other backup plans we can have.

thanks for your time.

I understood from a congressmans office that my case was with an officer on October 8th and I would hear a response within 45 days.

Nothing happened and have now been told following a service request that if I do not hear anything within six months to contact the customer service again.

From my perspective being told your case is with an officer means absolutely nothing at all.

This is already IV's number one priority on the goals of this org and we are trying to translate this goal and other goals into legislation.

Remember, everyone in the core group also wants this as this can be the life-saver of every person since EAD allows us to have a safety net after you have finished 6 years on H1.

I sat waiting for birds that didn't show, and then a 2-inch bubble floats by... bored to bits I took some pictures just before the bubble burst, and it came out cooler than I expected. What do you think?

I received the letter yesterday but its at home. Wont have access to a Fax machine over the weekend - so, any email address where it can be scanned and sent?

Really? Nobody? Nothing? :( Please, any advice will do, I'm desperate, I don't want to leave in 2 weeks, I need some more time with my partner...

You already have the answer : It is 180 days after your I-94 expires, not the day of your arrival.

I was told by my attorney's office that the application will be rejected if re-filed. I have read though threads which claim that multiple filing is fine, but dont know what to trust!

I480 filed - July,02, waiting for RD/ND

Come on Saroj76, I know you were drunk when you posted this message that has nothing to do with the discussion thread. I wonder to see if you are doing a kind of advertisement for this lawyer in this forum. Just to let you know, this is not meant for advertisement of your buddies but a serious discussion. You are hereby warned.

He handled my case from OPT, to H1B, to Green Card. He is a very professional lawer and very responsible. He replies emails right away and answers phone calls. On the top of that his fees are much less compared to all these big law firms. I was really satisfied and impressed by his service. I would have stayed with him but my company got bought out by another big firm, so I had to switch the law firm. Check out his website.

This isn't correct Ronnie. Your non-immigrant status does determine whether you are a Resident alien or a non-resident alien for tax purposes.
Classic example is that while you are on F1 /OPT you don't have to pay social security and medicare.

I am taking a guess that what Ronnie meant to say was that, Tax filing (whether or not you file jointly) has no implications on your immigration process... which is true.

If you filed 'married filing separately' does not mean that you dont want to support your spouse anymore as a derivative of your I-485 !

no it is SUSTAIN act. Not Strive. SUSTAIN only has H1 visa increase... So it will ensure that retrogression and backlogs are sustained... :)
