The law does not applicable to child born in USA. If child born in USA then the cross chargeable for child is applicable to the parents birth country. I am still searching for more information. I will post more information as I will find out.

If the job offered is for 15-1031 and job responsiblities remain the same as 15-1031. It should be ok to work on SAP or any other bleeding edge technologies. Call USCIS and ask them for information.

You said your employer is agreable, in that case, If you did not get your EAD before your current EAD expires, you can choose to work for free for those days and try to get paid for it after your EAD comes in effect.

Or even if you don't get paid for it, you are building some good will and you are not jeopardizing your job. It will definitely keep you in the good books of this employer.

Yes Augustus, thats a good idea. my employer will understand and I will continue to work. but will ask him not to pay me for the duration.

I think H1B quota should be decreased because lots of people available with no jobs in the market, it looks like survival of fittest, even person with good skill set not getting job immediately due to new new consulting company coming into market doing irregular things like less rates etc etc�����. to survive themselves.

All of you who could not apply for your spouses for any reason and now facing retrogression:

Please Keep your spouse's application 100% ready with the exception of medical report before your date is officially current again and file it on the very first day that it is current.

==============
Example:

Your PD = May 2005 EB2

July 2008 bulletin is released on 15th June 2008 making your PD current starting July 1st.

You have about 15 days to prepare your spouse's application and also get his/her medicals done.

Send it out on June 30th to be delivered on early morning July 1st 2008.

This is to make sure the dependent's application reaches there BEFORE any chance of your application getting approved.

==============
If you miss it YOUR app is approved before your spouse's app is filed, you are in for some complications.....

I guess most of you already understand the importance of this, Just mentioning here for the benefit of those who don't..

==DO NOT GIVE USICS ANY CHANCE TO APPROVE YOUR APPLICATION BEFORE YOU FILE YOUR SPOUSE'S APPLICATION====

Dear All,

Could you please advise, if we can port eb3 to eb2.

My husband is working for the same employer for last 6 years. He has masters degree from US and he filed for his GC in 2004. In 2004, he had only 1 year experience. The lawyer said he does not qualify for Eb2 despite his US degree.

Now after 6 years, he had a job change within his company. He became a principal engineer from just an engineer. Could we port to EB2?

If yes, what should we be careful about and how should we go about it?

Sincerely,
Augustus

And one more thing notarize the request, its not neccesary,but its better to be safe.

I had 485 interview a month back (previously at the national benefits center) at the local USCIS office. The interview went fine except that they gave me an RFE asking for additional documents verifying employment. Since then I submited documents to the local office a 3 weeks back. Today my supervisor got a call from USCIS Anti Fraud Detection (homeland security) and they left a voice mail that they need to verify my immigration status.

Is this normal? Is there something i need to worry about?

My record is pretty straighforward. I am with the same employer since 2002 first on H1b and then EAD on a permanent postion and no gap in employment and never out of status

My supervisor called back but went to voicemail and left a general message

Good for you that your case is straight forward , you were never out of status and you are indeed working for the company that had sponsored your GC. It is good for every one that they are trying to weed out the bad apples. That would mean , speedier movement of dates for genuine cases :)

Nothing to worry if your case is clean. There were couple of other similar on site interviews as reported earlier on this forum..

Good find - shows the plight of legal immigrants.

A bit of nitpicking - actually the chart is underestimating the time for EmploymentBased / skilled immigrants wait - says 11-16 years to get citizenship sort of suggesting 16 years is the worst case scenario to get citizenship. Its a bit underestimate especially for people coming from India/China. I have seen many people (including me) on these forums who entered US "legally" ten years ago and still waiting for GC with no idea when they would finally get it. Some of them might finally get citizenship 20 years after entering the country "legally".

On the whole it shows the reality of legal immigration and its waiting times.
Interesting one..but folks in washington will continue taking us for granted....unless we show them serious intent...

Hell, ALl they care abt is big corporations...even ahead of their own citizens...Wall St over Main St...
Bailout plan to be approved soon.......We areno where in the picture....even lawmakers know the realiy of this article...but its all about "show me the money"

I filed I-485 in Nov. 2007 and waiting.... :(

Problem is I noticed that name of my father in my passport is reversed example it shows <lastName> then <FirstName>.

But in my birth certificate it is vice versa <FirstName> then <lastName>....

I got the RFE in July 2009 for my date of birth certificate which I have provided to USCIS mentioning father name as in my birth certificate i.e. <FirstName> then <lastName>.

I renewed my passport in April 2010 and corrected father name, but in all the old forms before RFE, my father name shows as <lastName> then <FirstName>.

Will it be issue, I am frustrated and worried on what to do, is it going to have major impact on my GC processing as all the forms I have submitted to USCIS and my passport have my father name as <lastName> then

<FirstName>.

Please suggest I am very worried...

Thanks

I think we need to send flowers with thank you note to IV core members and congress woman.Let us get vote and send flowers to those addresses.

Thank you

...On another level, the structure brought back childhood memories of my grandparents' farmhouse.

On yet another level, I was facinated by all the small details - mortar, wrought iron fence, and the leaves turning colors.

Generally, these sorts of images are what I connect with, the ones that I can't quite (or at least instantly) figure out what I'm looking at. Is this a wall, a sculpture, are those windows or doorways am I inside looking out or outside looking in.

It's also worth noting that there is no trace of the "rule of thirds" in that image...

Don

Don,

Thx for the feedback. As I read through your self-critique, I kept saying to myself, "Yah! that's it!" Good shot, good eye for the right stuff.

As to Steve's comment on the dandelion....Sorry, Steve, I gotta disagree. Instead of a full frame of the dandelion I rather like the cut-off edges. What makes this one for me is that (at first glance) it's not necessarily a dandelion, but could be a firework sparkler or fireflies between the camera and the “brown something” in the center. I like photos that redefine themselves the more you look at them. Another aspect of the less-than-full-frame that appeals to me; It reminds me of a somewhat famous painting.

Remember the Norman Rockwell painting that had the “No Swimming” sign in the center of focus with boys (wet and in various levels of undress) running through the frame? Some of the boys had not been “caught” because they had already made it through the frame. (You could only see their heels). There are other boys that are still trying to make it into and through the frame. Apparently these boys got “caught” swimming when the others didn’t. This dandelion photo (if you envision the counter-clockwise spin that the seed stems suggest) seem to be moving the entire subject matter from right to left. Kinda gives me a sense of motion to an obviously static object.

Or….it could be a dandelion...slightly less than full frame.

W00t!!!!!!!

I love it =)

My PD is Sep-03, EB3-India. I left the employer who sponsored me one year after I filled 485 (thanks to July-07 fiasco). I have over 12 years of experience and was wondering if it was possible to port to EB-2 without having to file for new labor by just refilling I-140.

Thanks

Used AP. Not even single question asked.
Gave AP & PP only. Did not show my EAD either.

Thanks,
SG.

I have been asked by my lawyer to enter the A# from OPT card if you have one, is this right?

I think I should apologize for being not careful about the tone. It was just an thought poping out of my head anyway. Also I want to clarify that I do understand and realize how much work IV has done. It's a tremendous amount of sacrifice that not everybody can or willing to afford. I believe most other visitors/members think the same way.


CCC,

Wonderful to hear from a contributing member and thanks for the warm words.

IV has no interest in curbing free speech. All we ask is that new members go through forum posts and resource docs to see what IV has said on a given subject, and also realize that we have done our homework. How about asking us if we have considered an issue rather than telling us what to do (without much research) -- which is the tone that some new member posts take.

As for not responding to theories -- well they just take on a life of their own if we don't respond. :) IV has no intention of letting its forums become a chaotic space with misinformation and assorted half-baked theories. :)

best,
Berkeleybee

case of identity theft?

I have answered that question many time on this forum. USCIS, lawyers and other forum guests have not been able to answer the question of what happens to an H1 extension when the underlining I140 is revoked. So I guess the H1 is not revoked.

That sounds like a great idea except what would happen if you transfer the company and the current company revokes your I-140. The 3 year H1 extension is based on the approved I-140 but if that underlying I-140 is revoked, would the H1-B still valid or is that one of those gray areas?

I personally really like this idea. Thanks a lot for this suggestion. Didn't think of that before.

thanks tnite!!!... u r right my opt/h1b overlaped comfortably and i was never out of status

But the problem is that you have to send in a copy of your H1B visa for I485.
The visa will mention the fact that it was issued in May 2007

USCIS might ask you 'Place of last entry: 2000" and how come you have a visa with a issue date of May 2007.
That means that you were at a US port of entry recently.

I think putting your canadian date is the best option.(My opinion)
You can always tell USCIS that you were issued a visa in Canada and technically you left the US and came back again in May 2007

Some countries require transit visa like UK for even changing flight but going through Germany do not require such a visa for EAD holders, you should contact the local consulate for B-1 holders.

Hope you have filed a Police report and got the pp based on it. Very sorry for your loss, wish you recover the stolen items before leaving for India.
