Hi,
I actually have an O-1 non immigrant visa that will expire in about 6 months, I also have so many doubts, hope you can help me.
1. Do you know if I-140 Premium Processing is available for EB-1A (extraordinary ability immigrant alien) with an employment based petition?
2. If it is, can I file together the I-140 and I-485 (with premium processing)and does this will make the process faster or do you recommend to do them separately?
3. After filing the I-140 can I travel or do I need a special permission?
Thank you very much for your help

did ya...?

Hmm, must check it then....

I do a short term stock trading with great profits , if you want I can share my stock picks , PM me.

California unemployment quite high.
I have my backup as India ( i will sell one of my land properties there and survive ,
also no worry about medical costs - leading cause of bankrupt americans ), but what
about the citizen here, where do they go to survive ?!

Greetings,

Here’s what I got from my attorney on Monday, October 1st 07. It seems there was a conference call of some sort with USCIS officials past week. Thought this will just keep you informed if you haven’t heard about this yet. Please check with your attorney for confirmation.

Below is the summary FYI only.

1. Expect further retrogressions on the visa bulletins

2. USCIS received approximately 800,000 total applications in July and August in addition, they received 100,000 family based I-485 cases in July

3. Do not expect premium processing to be re-instated for I-140s for a while

4. There is a big problem with the receipt notice updates that are being published by USCIS—they are not accurate and they are further behind than they are publishing. Aytes is trying to fix this discrepancy.

5. If you submitted photos with the EAD applications, then Aytes said you will get your EAD faster than those who did not

6. Expect changes in regulations to permit H and L people to travel without the I-485 receipt notice due to the major backlog in receipting

7. Aytes said they are trying to set it up that next year the EAD and Advance Paroles will be issued for more than a one year expiration and that there may possibly be one document issued for both the EAD and APs. More on this will come by the end of the year.

8. Backlog Elimination Centers (BEC) should be up to date in one month

9. Since the BEC will be updated, Carlson said to expect an increase in audits for the PERM cases at the end of this year and next year----make sure ALL of the recruitment requirements are being met; no fraud involved; employees not being required to pay or pay back labor expenses; employees not involved in the recruitment, etc.

10. 20% of PERM cases are being denied

11. Atlanta’s motions for reconsiderations should be processed faster soon

12. New PERM form on March 28, 2008

13. Carlson stated that the DOL’s position on attorney fees are the foreign national can have an attorney represent him/her for letters of support, previous job descriptions etc. to prepare for the upcoming I-140 stage and ensure that he fits the already prepared job offer requirements, but ALL fees and costs associated with the PERM filing (job offer requirements, advertising, recruitment, preparing the form, filing the form, motions, etc) MUST be paid by the company. FAQ’s are on the DOL website.

14. Work site enforcement----expect CIS officers to request to see I-9s---Make sure the I-9s are being properly completed by the employers.

15. I-9 raids are a hot topic!!!! For example, the city Reno (NV) saw several McDonald restaurants raided on Thursday—this is expected to happen all over the USA and with all types of employers. PLEASE make sure you have the I-9s in a separate place and handy in case of a raid. If I-9s are with other paperwork, then the raiding officer will review it all!

16. WATCH OUT FOR DUIs---in both nonimmigrant and immigrant cases!!! Delays are occurring in these cases.

17. The US consulates and CBP are Googling you!

thanks for the reply but I agree my h1 stamp is expired but h1 is valid till 2009

As long as you work for the same employer with same title and job location, you don't need H-1 stamped. If you have a valid approval (I-797) you can enter the country on H-1 and not worry about AP or EAD. But just to answer your question, if you use AP to enter...you won't need to use EAD. If you do use EAD then you are out of H-1 status. AP will let you keep H-1 status.

I am not a lawyer so it would be best to consult one.

Hi Dear ,
I got an ofer from boeing I saw expert comments on this forums,I appreciate if u guys help me out in this matter .I recieved an offer letter from Boeing but when HR asked me about the Export control status then she told me to have a GC or Citizen for clearence infact the position for which i got an offer letter was in comercial planes and it has nothing to do with security infact no security clrence (Exempt) is required.
could you please let me that is there any chance i can move fwdand and tell the HR about my case again .please respond to this

Greencardfever5, first of all I don't think you needed to apologize. Everyone has their own schedules and priorities, and just because you did not spend enough time on IV, does not mean you are not welcome here.
.

Do you mean to say other people who spend time, energy and money do not have any other priority or work and sitting idle. Everyone has priority other than spending time in IV. By the way what happened to the Op's priority now. There is no priority now and wants to spend in IV. Do you think its fair...?

Thanks everybody for help.

I would have another question:

I don't know what to write on "Class of Admission". When I entered U.S I was on H4 but I got Ead and now I'm on Ead and my husband on H1b.

Could someone tell me please what to write.
Thank you!

And where it's written :"On a seperate sheet of paper, please explain how you qualify for advance parole document"......should I write on a blank sheet of paper that I need to visit my parents....?

In last 2 months we collectively raised our voice on 3 occasions
1. CIR 07 debate in senate (Can you believe that for last 3 months of the fiscal year DOS moved EB3 India from Jun 03 to current?)
2. Flower campaign
3. San Jose rally
and we were rewarded.

If you want to do something for yourself
1. Show up in DC for Sept 13 Rally - http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11428
2. Come out of shadow and tell Congress your story - http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10747

The choices you make shall define your future.


p.s. Please please please stop obsession with receipt notice and visa bulletin prediction.

Thanks to all who responded.

if they take the bill, they might listen to us and include our provisions in this bill because our provisions are part of the CIR bill which they passed it.

but they will make changes to 'secure act' and pass it in such a way it goes to conference committee (big chance of this going because senate wants 370 miles fence, house wants 700miles) and they wont have time for that committee now, so they will work on it next yr after elections. again after elections, it is diff game as you said. anyhow we caught in the middle of their game.


Now that the "Secure Fence Act" has been approved in the house, will senate take on this bill and pass its own version? Has there been any indication at all from the senate leadership that they intend to pass something similar and if so, when? The reason I ask is that I strongly believe that if this bill were to taken on by the senate then our friendly senators like Specter might include some relief for us. This is the only chance I can see this year and next year is a whole different ball game.

I live in SF Bay area.
Not that I am getting paranoid, I suspect social issues if economy worsens..Rising crime and other social issues do come up in tough economic conditions.

Recently one of my friends was targeted in a racial abuse, something which was unheard in the area where I live in. I see gang signs allover the area where I live. It was not like that one year ago.

Bull***t!

I e-Filed my EAD renewal application on 03/16, sent the docs to Nebraska and it was approved on 04/07. I was not asked to get Fingerprinting for the same.

Good luck.

Cheers

They are your in-laws!!! Are you sure you want them here? Think about it. :-) Jokes apart, its a pleasure to travel in Jet. My parents did travel - they can't speak English nor really read well - the crew helps them (in Hindi or Gujarati). You would have to be really knocked out to miss connecting flights in Brussells. So worry not - they'll be just fine.

Good to know, thanks.

I sent an email to chennai consulate requesting emergency appointment and they gave me the earliest available date. I had to provide my passport number and return travel date.
Went to HDFC bank and got the DD for visa fees and VFS fees and went to consulate at the specified time. Visa interview went fine and the officer said I could collect my passport at the VFS counter if I need it immediately.

I went to the chennai VFS counter for 2 days in a row to collect my passport and they said they did not recieve it yet. The third day I called and was told that passport can be picked up. But when my uncle went to pick it up they said it was not there.

I called the courier company Bluedart and gave them my passport number and they said it is in transit and I recieved it.
So the visa interview went fine but there were some unexpected delays in recieving the passport. Finally I got it on the day of my travel and came back to US finally.

Just wanted to update all about my experience and thank you for all your help.

Wow we have

TexanMom and now Amma - two moms trying to reqruit all the highly skilled cry babies of Texas to join the group.

We are with Moms :)

hi viewers,

any help will be appreciate in this matter. MY PD is June/2003 and my i-140 approved few weeks back. When can I file my 485 ? do I need to wait till PD ?

Also can I transfer to other company maintaining my approved i-140 and PD ?
What are risks involved here.

Thanks U all in advance.

>if one enters using AP,then works for his current employer , even then, >he/she has to leave and reenter to get h1 status? or only in case of ac21?

Ok, after using AP there are two ways in order to reinstate H1B status.

1) By applying H1b extension after entering on AP
2) going out of country and entering with valid h1b visa stamp.

This is based on what i read in immigration-law.com and again as per murthy office.



can you please explain little more? what is meant by after invoking, is it AC21?

If one enters using AP,then works for his current employer , even then, he/she has to leave and reenter to get h1 status? or only in case of ac21?
thanks in advance.
