I agree with you that it is a random process but the processing date that is shown indicates that all the cases prior to that date have been "served". So, TSC-Oct 14 means, cases received on Oct 14 and later are currently being served. Hope this helps.

Trust me. That's a move you will surely enjoy....I moved in the opposite direction.......Houston to Allentown
Houston is the best. Lovely weather, Really "BIG" city so you can get or do whatever you want. The metro system is not the best but if you only need it to commute to work(downtown) then no problem. By the way they don't give a crap about driver's licenses in houston, too many applications. They'll give you 6yrs easily on ur license.

Yep, dont worry about DL in texas, I renewed my TX license over the internet for 6 years, till 2013:)

Need help- EB1 EA 140/485 petitions denied - how to maintain legal status
I am a research faculty in a top 25 university and my H1-B expires in Dec 2010. My concurrent self petitions of the EB1-EA of 140 and 485 were denied by TSC. I am waiting for the denial letter. My spouse is a permanent resident . What are my legal options to stay in the country?
Here is my petition break down
1-140 filed-May 2009
!-485 filed June 2009
EAD/AP Oct/Nov 2009
RFE on 140 -Feb 9 2010
Responded to RFE - Mar 11 2010
Denial posted on Mar 15.
Would filing the I-130 affect the refiling of I-140?

Appreciate inputs provided

See my reply above. To add to it, if your position is really a "faculty" position, then University will take care of your GC petition. However, if it is really a glorified title for a postdoc position, then they likely will not. In that case, you need to look for a new job.

Check with USCIS and see if they have tied up with your electricity provider, to add your immigration filing charges along with the monthly bill.

:D :D :D :D :D

You guys have my $100.00. 502(d)(2) must die ! ;-)

Good luck !

If I understand you correctly, you were working for Employer A and he filed your Labor. You changed to employer B while labor was pending and started working for employer B on H1. Employer A continued to process your GC and you got it approved. If this is true, then you should immediately join employer A since your GC was approved through employer A.

Yes, roseball, you got it right.

Whats the reason to join Employer A and what will make me become an employee of Employer A - like i to have them do my W2?

Is there anyway to get the I140 Approval or at least the Receipt # other than that off thru employer?

Donot forget to send the webfax :)

thanks

2750 web faxes have been sent! we are trying to get to 3,000.:)

I am new here.Thanks I updated it .

This is interesting news indeed. If you are real, (which I think you did confirm :D ) that means another interesting piece of evidence that Eb2 cutoff dates are going to move further into 2007 very soon.

Dont worry. I think you should consult with another lawyer to assess whether you will waste that money.

dpsg,

I think the point we're trying to make is TOI could probably write about "relevant" problems. Illegal immigration is not a problem we're fighting in this forum. Anyone recollect an article in recent times in TOI on impact of GC backlog and retrogression?

The press is the primary forum for people's voices to be heard even in a difficult democracy like India.

Let the media be aware of the problems NRIs are going through. Most people back home(Des) will think that people in the US have a cushy life with no worries, when the reality is different.

This topic is really debatable, but its simply my humble opinion.

And guess what: making the India NRI minister (Vayalar Ravi) of these issues didn't even result in getting an email response back. We might as well expect that "nothing will happen". But, what's the harm in trying? Just a few minutes of time (and electrons) expended).

I filed I485/EAD/AP on 2nd July but no result till date.I Called USCIS Today also and my information is still not in their database.

It is really frustrating ..........................

E-Verify was a bargaining chip for Senate Democrats against Senate Republicans.

What happened was - When Senator Menendez from NJ (Dem.) floated the Visa Recapture Bill; he said that he and other Dems will only support Permanent extension of E-Verify a bill designed to extend it for four additional years; if the Senate Republicans support Visa Recapture Bill.

But the Visa Recapture Bill didn't happen.
So, E-Verify also didn't happen.


However, as a Last Minute "ideal gift" from the Great President Bush to all Legal Immigrants; he issued an Executive order to extend E-Verify till March 06, 2009.
Therefore, E-Verify is active today in the system.

Now, House and Senate Republicans want to permanently extend E-Verify after March 06, 2009; especially the antis and yes NumbersUSA.So, they added this amendment to extend E-Verify for additional 4 years in the Stimulus Bill that passed this Wednesday.

However, the Stimulus Bill has to pass the Senate to become law. Thus, permanent extension of E-Verify has nothing to do with giving Stimulus money to only legal immigrants. It, is just that two immigrant hating politicians added the clause to the bill; in the hopes of seeing it pass. But IT SHOULD FAIL!!!

Again the question remains, how does it affect us ?

Are you saying Visa recapture was tied to E-verify in the past administration and so passing E-Verify without recapture will kill the chances of recapture ?

Situation has changed now. It is a new administration now and power has titled in favor of democrats both in house and senate. Democrats don't have to appease GOP to get any bill passed now.

Seems like a good idea to me...even if it favors people with Attorneys....it atleast gives you an avenue to present your case to some Computer which then assigns the case to a human. Wow...what progress, TSC!!! Why can't your computer pick it up in the first place? What kind of system you have that can't prioritize work based on FIFO? Now we see a way out of this hell-hole. Hope NSC does the same too!!

An afterthought: Could we write to Ombudsman for NSC adapting similar email routine?

Hello,

I have a question regarding my employment & H1B.

I was working for company "A" and my project ended in Jan and the company "A" gave me 1 month to find employment.

So I have applied for H1B transfer last week with company "B"

I got a call today from company "A" offering me a job.

Is it possible for me to work with company "A", while my application for H1B transfer is pending?

I want to join company "B" when H1B transfer is approved but in the meantime can I work for company "A" because it is very hard to find a job in this economic situation

Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

thank you

Hi Ann:

I would like to ask related questions in this thread..

what if person does not get H1 extension approved because of this new employee-employer relationship memo, Can I stay in US on other visa (F2/F1) after H1 extension denial until my priority date become current? Do you see any problem in this option?
If you enter US on a non-immigrant VISA such as F1 or B1/B2, your GC would be considered abandoned.
Well if it is not OK, Go back to India, then apply for AOS once priority date become current. Is this option will work?

Many many thanks for your response...

You must be physically present in US to submit I-485.

The technique you mention works best when you reverse a normal or wide lens in front of a telephoto lens. However, none of my lenses work very well; all cause severe vignetting. The cheapest way to try this is to hold the one lens in front of the other with your hand; then focus the apparatus by moving the whole system in and out until you find the plane of focus (autofocus is worthless for any macro above 1:1, and IMHO even for most macro below it). If you like what you see, then it's not a great expense to find an adapter that has filter threads on both sides of it to hold the lenses in place for you. Check the macro couplers (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=NavBar&A=search&Q=&ci=3066) section at B&H for the kind of adapter you'd need.

I still think a regular macro lens would be most versatile (you can go from infinity down to 1:1 without removing the lens or unscrewing any filters), but the other method can be a cheap way to experiment, if you can find a pair of lenses that gives you the magnification you want without major vignetting.
