NSC->CSC->NSC for 485
EAD/AP by CSC.

any idea on what are the processing dates for EAD and AP at CSC
and also finger printing timelines

Reading the forum I understand that EAD/AP approvals are coming fast from CSC.
I have not seen anyone posting about receiving finger Print notice if the case has been tansferred back to NSC from CSC.
This is the trend I have seen so far.
Anyone who has received FP notice if ur case has transferred from NSC to CSC and back to NSC - Please post.

Everything filled up including masters degree H1. All big lotto

WASHINGTON � U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it has received enough H-1B petitions to meet the congressionally mandated cap for fiscal year 2009. USCIS has also received more than 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of persons exempt from the cap under the �advanced degree� exemption. Before running the random selection process, USCIS will complete initial data entry for all filings received during the filing period ending on April 7, 2008. Due to the high number of petitions, USCIS is not yet able to announce the precise day on which it will conduct the random selection process.

USCIS will carry out the computer-generated random selection process for all cap-subject petitions received. USCIS will select the number of petitions needed to meet the caps of 65,000 for the general category and 20,000 under the �advanced degree� exemption limit. USCIS will reject, and return filing fees for all cap-subject petitions not randomly selected, unless found to be a duplicate. USCIS will handle duplicate filings in accordance with the interim final rule published on March 24, 2008 in the Federal Register.

The agency will conduct the selection process for �advanced degree� exemption petitions first. All �advanced degree� petitions not selected will be part of the random selection process for the 65,000 limit.

Dude,
Be specific and say that your PD is current, I was wondering when EB2 India become current.

Yes, You are right. I should have written "Since EB2-India current PD period is December 2003"

Nag, u r in a bad situation no doubt. But u had every chance to apply for labor via PERM as well (many of my friends did that) just to be on a safer side. So u r partially to be blamed for ur sorry state.

MY Company never wanted to allow another application through PERM.

Legal: $2000
Medical: $450
Shipping: $50
Birth Certificate: $50
Photos: $50
Photocopy+ Printing: $20
Gas: $30

$ 2650 in Total

Can't agree more.

Thank God Dems are out otherwise Legals will never get anything till every illegal crossing the border is ahead of them. Democrats are only good for three kind of people:

Illegals
Illegals
Illegals

I hope Obama looses soon and we have some sanity of law

No, he is a good person he can do that
Reason he is member of IV

He cannot post it because he cannot view it, as he is not a member of AILA. He stated it in his post.

in fact i think this memo is very favourable.

first of all it has some protections for h1b whistle-blowers.
second it formalizes the 27th, Dec, 2005 into the AFM which is much better.

this memo does not say that you cannot make an AC21 portability request based on a pending i-140/i-1485. all it says is that for the portability request to be valid the i-140 should be approved first. in fact it clearly alludes to the Yates memo and says that section 1 from that memo is valid and consistent with this interpretation. so, as far as my understanding goes you can still use AC21 even if your i-140 is pending.

the one thing though i am having a little difficulty understanding is that it says section 20.2(d) of the AFM will be updated with section (1) from the Yates memo. But the updates to the AFM to section 20.2(d) do not include section(1) from the Yates memo. may be i need to wait for the revised AFM to be published!


just my 2 cents...I am really hoping that some well known law firm will clarify this one way or the other.

All,

With the current rate of outsourcing happening around in US and the rate of influx of temporary workers coming in on mostly L1 and may be few on H1 B Visas every year through the outsourcing companies , i am sceptical about the future of GC aspirants. With the way of GC processing happening which are caused by restrictions /policies of governing bodies and no sight of positive relief in near future i am little apprehensive about the future.

I feel that there might be no areas that are not impacted by Outsourcing boom . Most of the companies that i see and my friends work ,i see many of the operations are outsourced or planning in place to get outsourced.

with the current rate of outsourcing and subprime mess which may cause slow down in economy , i am not sure if there would be any positions to support our AOS , when our PD becomes current. Some times i think , the fight for GC is even worth it.

Every one feel free to post your views/opinions/Analysis on this topic ....

mine reached at 10-23 am -2 nd july,by some L.ARMSTRONG guy..no receipt yet,no check cashed
cjagtap..where did you send your application.. NSC or TSC?

I wish they invested in R and D and innovation and products instead of services. Service industry is mainly governed by dealing with cost efficient labor. These companies reach out to IITs IIMs get the best and brightest and dump them into the service sector and start earning on them.

If they changed their business modal and started investing in products and Rand D, it may not give them quick money, but the results will be beneficial on the long run.

I am not sure how much R & D is going on in india, but Adobe filed lots of patents from Adobe, india.

So those guys who attended the hearings or met with senators. what was the result? what did they accomplished? did they get the opportunity to participate with the senator or law maker in an action plan? or we just wasted that opportunity asking for autographs? please those guys post your comments.


So, with this posting I assume that you neither attended the rally nor put in any effort towards it cause. I sincerely wish I am wrong. Don't be so dumb and also claim that you are high skilled, they don't go together. Yes, we did get our autographs and we have the right to flaunt for what we did at DC. You have the right to post what you wish but don't ever again ridicule the people who put in the efforts.

I just finished calling those 6 Reps - o how fun!

Anyways, so guys - does this Krikorian guy need some education or flowers? Let us provide him with what he needs and get this thing going further.

Can we call him like we are calling the Reps?

Lets go through the logic of Mr. Krikorian carefully and use it for our benefit.

Even as it stands RIGHT NOW without the "New AC21 Rules", you cannot use AC21 unless your I-140 is approved. The basic principle of AC21 is "If your I-140 is APPROVED AND your I-485 application has been pending for more than 180 days" you can switch jobs and not lose anything.

Wasnt it I-140 approved or approvable ? Or am I missing something ? :confused:

Did you wire transfer funds too many times in larger amounts?
this is absurd, why would wire transferring money have immigration officer visit the candidate, if they dont want to give us GCs then most people will continue to transfer money.

How come such legislative efforts are not even in IV's radar now....

Tell Embassy that you need to file I485, so they will an earlier appointment.

Hi Guys,

I am EB2 I with a priority date of April 2006 (Direct labor applied and approved from employer A, I 140 applied and approved from Employer A, Filed 485 from Employer A itself)

Moved to Employer B using EAD in 2009 January. (Almost after 18 months after getting EAD)

10/15/2009 i called the TSC and asked the representative to know whether my case is pre approved or not. the representative told me that he does not have any of that data and opening a SR will let us know. i opened one SR on the same day.

I got a mail just now, with the following text in it.

"The status of your request is

Your case is on hold because your appear to be inadmissible under the current law

Rather than denying your application based on inadmissibility, we are placing your case on hold while the Department of Homeland security considers additional exercises of the security of Homeland security discretionary exemption authority.

Such an exercise of the exemption authority might allow us to approve the case."


What does this mean, any one has some idea about it.

This is very strange. However, I would like to know the reason that prompted you to inquire about your case status. What was the status that was showing on-line? Is it "application received and pending", the same usual statement?

Anyone interested in this initiative should send an email to myself and Sanjay. If you put posts on this thread, it may not get to us on time as we do not have access to several websites from work. Please send us emails to get all the materials needed for this initiative. Logiclife has clearly outlined the process, so please stick to it.

Thanks,
Varsha

Nope.

For a consulting company ( unless it is some outsourcing company like Infosys), a company cannot produce the following info for a first time H1B candidate

A letter from the client company sponsoring the project and a copy of the contract between the U.S.-based petitioner and the client company, stating the timing, terms and agreement for your project.

Consulting companies exists for the reason that clients won't make an offer to the candidate unless he is already in US.

Before starting to blame consulting companies, ask yourself a question.
How many of you got a job offer from a US company ( non-consulting) when you were in India ?

Either you came to US through a consulting company or you were a student in US.

Per your logic if someone tries to stop/end bribing in India, you will question them saying-

Before starting to blame Bribe seeking entities, ask yourself a question.
How many of you bribed an entity to get your work done, or asked for bribe to do the work for someone?

What you are saying..about consulting companies not having a "job" at hand to offer is the mis-use of the Visa. This is the loop-hole that cause small time shops to jsut bring a lot of people onsite and then start sending resume arranging interviews etc....and then when this size increases they resort to means like not paying enough or providing them company guesthouse and kitchen + some money to buy grocery and few more buck but not the entire salary..... This is all how it started (the mis-use started)....and that is why consulates have imposed stricter checks.

It same with the foreclosure crisis...uptil now Bank gave loans (equivalent to visa) w/o complete and proper documentation..which cause ppl getting loands/home when they cannot afford it... now when this whole mess is identified..they want to implement strict enforcement of not giving No-Document, 0-Zero payment loans etc... and you are suggesting to ask people the same question - Have you received such loans in the past ..if yes then why object now... ?
