Case Study: Upgrade from EB3 to EB2 (http://www.imminfo.com/News/Newsletter/2010-06/case_study_upgrade_from_eb3_to_eb2.html)

Received a mail for myself and my wife. welcome to USA. But no email from CRIS.
:):):):):):)

CONGRATULATIONS on your GREEN! Tried to make you green , by adding to your reputation......;) but I guess with so many reds.....still you will not make it into GREEN....

but hey, you got the GREEN Which really matters......Enjoy

Primary and secondary applications are totally independent once its receipted. I got my EAD 3 weeks ago but nothing for my wife. The status says 'Received and pending'. After FP, my LUD got updated but again nothing for my wife.
Go figure...:confused:

How did you find out , that files are assigned to I/O

I got a letter from Congressman's office.

Interesting discussion. Sounds logical but you are missing that it was current for a long time in 2002 to 2005.

Although you might be right about the movement.

Currently my labor and 1-140 has been approved. But i havent been able to apply for I-485 due to retrogression. Hence if i change my job now and re-apply for labor will i continue to get extentions?


Also can anyone advice me that for a PERM application the pre-application i.e advertisements and stuff takes how long before i can actually apply for the labor. Also in Perm How long does one have to do the pre-application (advertisments etc)?

Can someone please help?
U will get a 3 year H1-B with the new employer.
i donot have experience with PERM. From what i know it varies from state to state. typically 6 months, may be longer or shorter.

I think some of the I140 dates went backwards in Nebraska. I can't understand how it can move backwards Logically, it is impossible, but to USCIS anything is possible:-)

My contribution is on way too.

Hi was an educational evaluation submitted along with the application?? Usually for degrees from non-US universities while filing the H1b application they require us to submit an educational evaluation along with copies of the certificates/transcripts. If you had not got your wife's degree evaluated and submitted that report then that might have triggered this rfe??

If you are worrying about your GC costs then file it on your own. Its very easy. I filed 485 on my own along with EAD and AP. I got my receipt numbers, EAD, FP. I guess 140 needs to be filed my employer with help of Attorney. Or you can file with help of your employer.(i am not sure on this)

Dipika,
Please make sure to add a disclaimer if your post has not been helpful and creates unnecessary panic ;) (For ex: Don't blame IV if that happens )

I think you can say 485 filed.

Actually I followed my previous filing from my lawyer and it is "Adjusting Applicant" or "AOS".

IV gurus Please help.

My friend joined an X company short time ago. He was about to file GC with that company. The company laid of people in the last week.
Now they are saying to my friend that they cannot file for his labor as they have laid of people and they have to wait 6 months before filing.

Is it true if a company laid of people it should wait 6 month before it files for labor again?
Is there a way to avoid the waiting period.

My friend is in 5 th year of his H1B

Thanks

Lets Do it Guys !!!!Now is the time......

Subject: Delay in Foreign Labor Certification Application approval process at Philadelphia Backlog Processing Center

Dear Sir / Madam:

I would like to bring it to your attention the delays in LCA approval process at Philadelphia Backlog Processing Center. I have been waiting for almost 2 years since the commencement of Philadelphia Backlog Processing Center and has not received my approval.

My family and I are suffering constantly due to these delays. Please take necessary measures to speed up the approval process.

I would be highly appreciated if you look into this matter as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
your name
City, State, Zipcode

Here is more info on the bill HR 1268 and the ammendment 379

more info on
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/L?d109:./temp/~bdaWv9h:1[1-257](Amendments_For_H.R.1268)&./temp/~bd2OAS

This ammendmet allowed them to capture unused visa numbers to allocate them to nurses catagory.

Sure, skip a day of work.. only to come back the next day and have two days worth of work lying on your desk, and one less vacation day...

Dont tell me you never take vacation ;-) If that is true, I will hire you.

As long as you have the I-797 approval petition you are good.

S/he has to have a valid I-94 to stay in the country legally. I-797 usually comes with an I-94. However, what the original poster said is that his/her I-94 is going to expire. I am interpreting the statement to mean that among the I-94's (one or more) s/he holds, the one with farthest validity is going to expire. If it does, s/he has to go out and get a new I-94 while re-entering. If s/he applies for some other status, and relevant I-797 comes with another I-94, then that's different. The bottom-line is, s/he has to have a valid I-94. It is irrelevant if the I-94 is given by the IO at the entry post or attached to an I-797.

Thanks guys.. good to know that..

Now that dates for EB2 have moved to Jan 2000 PD, it might be interesting to see if we have folks in here with EB2 PD in or before Jan 2000.

I know a friend whose EB2-PD was in 2000. Guess what? He's a US citizen now :)

I just received a USCIS automated e-mail indicating an RFE has been issued with regard to my pending I-140 (pending since January 16, 2007, at NSC)...have yet to receive the actual RFE letter. My AP application has been pending since August 1, 2007, also at NSC. Can this RFE delay processing of my AP? I need to travel this month and had also sent a fax to USCIS requesting expediting the I-131. Please let me know what you think, as I am very worried! What could the RFE be in regards to? I work for a university, have a 4 year degree (obtained in the US, along with an MBA), and ability to pay should not be an issue. No experience required!

Thanks!

I-485/I-765 filed July 6, 2007 - EB3
I-765 approved Sept. 11, 2007
I-131 filed Aug. 1 2007 & pending
FP completed Dec. 04, 2007

Please update us once you receive RFE, I will update the items.

When I went recently for my EAD renewal FP (I deliberately e-filed EAD renewal to get this FP notice, and it came fast), I took a copy of my I485 receipt notice, and explained to them that I have been waiting for that other FP for almost a year (never opened SR). They promptly took both FPs (code-1 for I485 and code-2 for EAD), and also told me I should never have waited this long, and instead should have contacted them (I guess they meant by Infopass) after 2-3 months.

I was not aware that you needed an FP for EAD renewal as well. Could you please clarify? I always had thought that FP is related to 485 and not EAD. Am I wrong?

Also, not sure which Infopass center you went to, but my center happens to be San Antonio and I have already been there twice before for expediting EAD/AP for my wife and we also asked them about finger printing then and they said they are not an "authorized" center for that although the USCIS rep I spoke to told me to go there.

I have anyway taken another info pass appointment there again just to try my luck again.
