Premium on 140 has nothing to do with expedition of 485. Later depends on Priority Dates , Visa Numbers , Name check results etc ... etc... If you get 140 approved on Premium then the only advantange is that you can Trigger AC21 to change your Job after 180 days of 485 filing WITH A PEACE OF MIND.

Otherwise if your 140 is hanging and you invoke AC21 and by chance that 140 gets a rough RFE or gets denied for some reason your 485 will be denied immediatly and you are in deep waters.

Has USCIS started premium processing of I-140 again ? Can you please send me the link ?
What happens if one has filed I-140 concurrently with 485 ? Does 485 gets expedited too ?

let me know quick please..

I filed my 485 last week and didn't file for EAD. My spouse is filing 485 next week and i will be a dependent in that application. If i apply for EAD in his application, can i use it to invoke AC21 if i have to change job after 6 months under my 485?
I have read here that EAD is not necessary for AC21, but my lawyer said its needed.

You cannot file 2 AOS petitions. Did your lawyer tell you that?

To apply for EAD thru your husband you would have to apply for I485 again , which you cannot.

You can file one AOS and one CP

Just curious�
Do these banks, which received TARP funds, have offshoring partners like TCS/Wipro? How is the offshoring part working? What does the H1B bill say about offshoring?

I agree with sri1309. This is very very scary time. We need a special attention right now. Right now no one is sure that he will have his job tomorrow.

We need to send a letter to Obama, Homeland Security Secretary and Ombudsman. Someone can take a lead to prepare a letter and that letter should be approved by IV.

It is really important for us to take a decison by IV core because this is really a very bad time.

Thanks in advance.

my lawyer just wrote me they filed EB2 for me and told me this means my case will be audited because 'job requirements are not normal' according to DOL :(
That is, my employer is asking for a master's degree for the position and that they should not be asking for master's, but I was assured it would not be difficult to justify that the position requires master's. And this stupid process will take about 2 years on average. I want to screem

Finally, My I-485 got approved.
PD:MARCH2002, EB2, INDIA
RD: MARCH 2007
Thank you All!!
:)

I received the very heartbreaking news that my EB3 PERM application filed OCT 2007 (with audit) was denied. Audit was requesting a copy of the Newspaper AD which the lawyer sent last NOV 2007. Reson for denial was because the copy that the DOL recieved was not clear and some words as part of the Newspaper name was missing.... An appeal will be filed soon.

Any suggestions from the gurus?

I have bachelors with more than 5 years of experience, is it adviseable to file new PERM under EB2 category?

For people who filed motion for an appeal, could you please post your feedbacks/experiences?


Appeal or motion is specific to USCIS - not sure how this is done with DOL. Try asking in lawyer section

When did you receive the rfe letter in mail? Was there any LUD (last update date) on your case or any status change on the uscis website online?

Also can you please post your details like RD, ND also where was it sent and where was it transfered,.
Mine was NSC-> VSC-> TSC with RD july27th ND sep 27.
I am expecting rfe for medicals since my lawyer did not send my medical reports with the application :)

I got an RFE on I-485 for the incomplete medicals. The RFE says that a 'specific' test results are missing and they need that test results to complete my application. I went to the same doctor and the lady there said, I did take that 'specific' test last year when I had medicals, but doctor forgot to mention that results in I-693. She said she is going to fill out a new I-693 form with all the results including the missing one (from old results) and will give me that sealed cover. Will this be enough? or do I need to take that 'specific' tests now and send the results?
I am planning to send the results tomorrow overnite.
Also, my Immigration Office number is 009 with TSC. Anybody got any approvals from this IO?

You should have a I-94 when she came back here in the US. Did she misplace it? The I-94 when she came back should be enough for the RFE. The old ones don't matter for I-485.

She has the second I-94.

I am submitting that, but the RFE said to submit all the documents proving the status from entry till the time we have submitted our I 485 documents

As per your comments, second I-94 is good enough, if that is the case. we are cool, but I would confirm that with attorney and post the details here. so that it would be helpful for others.

Thanks for your reply.

I prefer that people who do not know how to run a business stick to option 2.

If spouse uses EAD for employment, what I heard is that the H4 status is no more valid.

In this case for any reason, if the 485 is cancelled, spouse will be out of status.

Primary can transfer h1b (if possible) & still be legal, but spouse is illegal to stay any more. There is no legal provision that once on EAD, spouse can switch back to H4. Is this true? I am worried and don't know whats really true.

Gurus Please guide.:confused:

While I agree that yours is a genuine case, I must say that you are asking a wrong question. How do one know when would your recipt come out from USCIS? No one has a crystal ball dude...Think before you send out a question there.....

I understand that one cannot guess when USCIS sends out receipts. All I wanted to know was if there will be different receipts sent out for LC/140/485 and if the processing will be done simultaneously or separately.

No one can file I-485 without the PD for that person is current in the visa bulletin.
You can replace your previous wife with a new wife at home, not with USCIS. !!!!!!!!!

Hi,

Just wanted to know how should one modify the immigration petition again after divorce and second marriage. Can the second wife name be added to 485 immediately or wait for the PD to become current? And how about EAD?

Thanks

.....

They should find an average amount of time a person spends on bench. Let's say the average time is 1 month out of year.

Then, they should recaliberate the salary to what would be worth 11 months of salary and set it up that way......

Here I'm playing devil's advocate. What if the salary now falls below the market rate determined by DOL? I am sure that some of these fly-by-night operators are also some of the poorer paymasters.

short visits in this case should not reset his 365 day clock. days of this short visit will just not get counted towards the 365 days.


If I was in your position, I would try getting him here immediately and then try applying for 485 ASAP so he can get his EAD. When you are so close, he doesn't need a new H1.


I would also bring him up here earlier since medical exam and all that takes some time. You may not be able to do this if you have a really short timeframe.



Good Luck!!!

I am in the same boat as you. My EAD expires on Sept 12th. Still no response from NSC center. I have few friends that I know, who filed after I did and they all have recieved their EADs. Not sure whats going on.


Guys
I have filed for my renewal EAD on May 29th at NSC. My current EAD expires on Sept 24th. I havent got the renewal EAD yet, where as my wife got it both applications were sent in the same envelope. I am working on EAD and am losing sleep since if my EAD doesnt come in time I will be out of my payroll.

Has some one gone to the local USCIS office to get the interim EAD recently? I was told that option no longer exists.

Can some one post the FAX #s to expedite EAD requests?

Yes i had also applied OCI for my child about 6 months back and was denied since we parents hold indian citizenship. Does anybody know that registering every 6 months is a must ? Some of my friends have permanentely gone back to India i am not sure what they are doing though since there kids hold US Citizenship. Any infomation on this will be helpful.

- A child under age 16 (with any visa, including PIO) don't need to register with FRRO. But many Indian immigration officials conveniently forget this and harass you. So you better take a print out from official Indian Government website.
- PIO card holder needs to register with FRRO when the stay exceeds 6 months for the first time and that registration is valid until PIO expires. PIO is valid for 15 years, so you will register once in 15 years at the most.

Google for references. If you don't find it, I will look up and post it.

I know this is not a good question as there is no time frame for GC process?
But please share your experience;
How many years it could take to get GC if it is started with in Aug. 2008 for
-EB2 category
-EB3 category

I am trying to understand the time (years) difference between two process.

Thanks,
Sanjeev.

Instead of asking such questions, go ahead first and file something as soon as you can, because there are other people who are filing in EB1, 2,3, family based etc etc etc... while you are just posting....

Always eb2 better than eb3, some of my friends who filed in 2002 eb3 have still not got GC, if you file in 2008 may be you will get it in 2015-2016... wow a long time.......

Get ready for an interview. USCIS transfer your petition to NBC for interview by local office.
Go with a $1000/day lawyer, or, if you are confident and clean case, go alone with all documents.

on aug 9, nikon anounced the "D80" http://www.dpreview.com/articles/nikond80/

im thinking about making the jump from my pentax ist ds to nikon... i just started photography and think i sould swich to nikon while i still can. i have a few sd cards and think it would be ether the d50 or d80, would it be wourth spending the extra $200 or $400 on the d80. i like the 10mp, the Multiple-exposures capabilities, 100iso ect.

any thoughts

Yes, you will be allowed to get one year extensions if your labor certification was filed before the start of your sixth year. But still you need to get clarfication from an attorney. I talked to one and she told me that since mine was filed RIR and passed the state stage and I was safe but if you filed in Non-RIR and no recruiting has been done then you may not be safe.
