i filed thru TSC also, on Aug/14/15. Is this an isolated case or is this happening to others too?

Anyone else?

I was one of the candidates who had this issue, I was given a 221g in 2009 Dec at mumbai consulate.

I was not asked for any documents, and the officer told me that my case has been putup for security check and I can expect a reply back from Washington DC within 2-8 weeks.

I received a reply on my case after 3 weeks and then I took the copy of the reply and submitted my passport at the mumbai consulate for visa stamping, 3 days after
submitting my passport I got it back with visa stamped on it.

Please note in 2009 I was in my 7th year of H1B, I had EAD and AP during that time and I have a permanent job and have been working for the same firm for last 6 years.

Regards,
Deepak

Folks:

I was just informed by my lawyer that there is a potenital for significant delay in getting the visa stamped due to security checks. I assume it is PIMS related. My questions is:

1: Has anyone experienced such delay recently at Delhi Consulate? Please note that last visa H1B expired in Aug 2010.
2: Is there any proactive steps I can take before going to India and make sure that there are no delay due to PIMS verification

I also read somewhere that there is a way to get PIMS verification done while in US.

I will appreciate your responses.

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====

i ordered friday night
used standard shipping instead of regular (pain <2 bucks more for 3 items)
next b day ie monday am it was shipped ups ground
now in ups transit for delivery tomorrow

pretty fast!

I had suggested this earlier. We can invoke FOIA to get the information needed. Though it might take some time , but usually information is released within a month...

We can ask the USCIS to give the data in a below format

Receipt Month, PD Month, Category, GC Approved Month or similar format

.. X made appeal and you continued working with X. Why do you think this to be illegal?

.. Y applied for H-1B transfer and it got approved. So why do you think problem in joining Y?

.. I think passport validity of six months used to be OK for Visa Stamping. Check this one. Preferably it is better to get new passport - people are getting some times stuck for months in PIMS.

.. It should be OK to take job with Y (assuming that you have I-797 from Y with I-94) and then getting Visa stamped when new passport arrives.

Even I don't have donor access so far.

bc_rp,
Thanks for your reply.
For some reason even I just received the LC approval, the company attorney mention that the visa number is not available yet so that he can apply for I-140 and I-485 together. As I understand the visa number is the PD?

Also what you mentioned is that there is no point of apply for I-140 now to port the PD to a new filing case because the PD is always current? Is that when you meant.

Thanks

Is part-time H1 and full-time student without F1, a problem with Univ.?

I haven't heard of a case where a person being full time student but on a H1b and doing part-time work. Anyone knows of such?

Can someone after approved I-140 change to F-1? I heard its possible dont know of anyone who has done that.

You will get an RFE from USCIS.You can reply to the RFE with the Medicals.

Hi

I'm a July 2007 Filer, EB-3, German national. My I-485 Received Date is August 1 2007, TSC. Priority Date 7/16/2004. I called and spoke to IO at TSC and she said my case was probably still pending because my Biometrics "is not showing".
My Biometrics was done 11/5/2007 and my copy contains Biometrics Processing Stamp for 11/05/2007 (which she asked if it did). After checking on it, she said that the Fingerprints had "been done and checked". (Does this mean FBI check??). Then she said my Photo Id wasn't showing. Asked her if this was a problem, she said no, it doesn't matter yet since nothing has been approved and it won't matter till approval. When I sought clarification from her as to whether these items were holding up my application, since she seemed to indicate in the beginning that it did; she said no, everything that's needed is there and my case is just pending.

Does anyone have any insight into this???

I mean, it seemed to be a problem initially and there were a lot of uncertain sounds from her followed by being put on hold for minutes at a time while she went to check something. Sounds to me like there was some info/procedural stuff missing which was holding up my app. and she might have corrected some of it in the system or something????

Any ideas or knowledge on the process would be much-appreciated.
(I do intend to call again in the next two consecutive days or so and hope to be able to speak to different IO's to see if I get different info/responses).

UK requires an advance parole while coming back to the US. We recently travelled to India on an expired H1 and H4 visa (I have H1 extention approved but the passport has the old expired visa) via London. We did not had any issues. But while coming back we were re-routed to Frankfurt as we did not had the transit visa.

I recommend going via Frankfurt. You can double check the transit visa requirements with German Embassy as well.

Do I need Germany visa to travel on AP, to India via Germany with Lufthansa air lines.. Please let me know.

Thanks.

You don't need a visa to transit in Frankfurt - meaning if you are catching another flight to a non-Schengen state (like India). Else, all "interview", visa stamping (even for other Schengen states), etc. happens in Frankfurt.

Is there a way to find all "active" members? If we're in the range 5000, then 10 per month for every user is good.

I saw many ppl in August who came in and posted that they got GC, not sure how many of them used IV and donated.

I did reply same questions from many people before.
Give me green.

Thanks Dealsnet.

I was hired by my present company as a software engineer. I did development for 3 yrs and the company later moved me to a Business Analyst's role later. However, my labor application lists my job duties as s/w Engineer in a programmer's role.

Would I be able to use AC21? Do I need to find a s/w development job or can I join as BA as well? I am in a big predicament. Any help here is greatly appreciated.


hi mohit, my case is just the opposite, i joined as a Senior programmer, and my LC is filed as senior programmer and now I want to take up a job as a Business Analyst, not sure whether I can do it. See my case details in the signature. Thanks.

Here is a good article on the subject with references to the US law and caselaw:
http://www.americanlaw.com/maintlpr.html

"The second requirement in INA �101(a)(27)(A) is that the absence abroad be temporary. According to Gamero v. INS, 367 F.2d 123, 126 (9th Cir., 1966), the term "temporary'' varies in application, depending upon the facts and circumstances of each particular case. According to Matter of Huang, 19 I. & N. Dec. 749, 7 Immig. Rptr. B1-17 (BIA 1988), temporariness is not defined in terms of elapsed time alone; the intention of the alien, when it can be ascertained, will control."
