Gurus,
Sorry.. I just received the letter received from USCIS.. Its mentioned as "NOTICE TO INTENT TO DENY(NOID)".

The reason specified in the letters:
- Section 203(b)(2)(A)
- 8 C.F.R 204.5(l)(3)(ii)(C)

........

Here is the definition from USCIS regulations (refer to 8 CFR �204.5 (k) (2)) for advanced degree equivalency: "Advanced degree means any United States academic or professional degree or a foreign equivalent degree above that of baccalaureate."

The key word here is degree, i.e., singular degree. That means - the beneficiary must have �a degree�, not a combination of degrees. Combination of degrees, therefore, is not permitted for EB-2 Advanced Degree classification.

I have written many times on this issue, please refer to my old posts for more details.

Friends .. Please reply/suggest as its very urgent to take decision. Thanks!!


Hi,
I applied I-140 using substituted labor(13th July 2007, receipt no yet to come) on future employment basis ..

Since, USCIS has allowed filing for I-485, I wanted to file my I485, with my future employer but he is not ready to file I485 until I come to his payroll.

I need your valuable suggestions to make my decision, my questions are:

1. If I want to join on his payroll, I have to leave my existing company/Client, so that I485 can be filed ... Should I agree for this? what's your opinion???


2.How safe do you think, idea of leaving my current established long term client and finding new client through him , for filing i485 purpose ?

3. Also, I am not sure about how/when my labor substitution will be approved? And in worst case, if it gets rejected, where I am going to be( I completed 3.5 years on my H1 visa which means I have 2.5 years remaining in my 6 year)???

5.What are the benefits (and in what timeframe) I can expect if I decide to file I485 now ?

Many Thanks in Advance!!

Another way to milk money off of legal immigrant cash cow.

Hello,

My wife got her H1B approved last year and her start date was 10/01/07. She started working towards the end of Nov. She did not get any paychecks for 2007 before Dec 31st and started getting paid only in 2008. So she did not receive a W2 for 2007. I am about to file my tax for 2007 (had filed an extension) and would like to know the following.

1: I assume this should not impact me from filing a joint return. Am I right ?

2: Would I qualify for the stimulus check for $1200 since both of us were employed in 2007 ? Since she did not get a W2, I was not sure if I would get only $600.

3: Both of us have filed for I-485 and our applications are pending approval. Would there be any problem with her I-485 in the future (like any query) since in 2007, her status was converted to H1B (from H4) and she did not get a W2 ? I am being told USCIS does a complete background check on the applicant with respect to each status he/she has had.

Thanks in advance.

I have to agree. WE need to send him thank you flowers. he worked on helping us.

Does anyone out there knows when is the next visa bulletin,I mean with the date the bulletin will be released?

Zee.

Is this something to be concerned about, getting AP before EAD , both are of course 124 days since receipt date.

How are AP and EAD related?

My son and I have never applied for AP and we have got two EAD's.

My wife on the other hand has never applied for EAD, only AP.

Forgive me for being naive and ignorant but I thought Obama was for immigrants/immigration/CIR. What Happened here? Did I miss something..Fill me in if you can please. Thanks.

It is a difficult scenario. Chances are that it would be very difficult for your mom to ever prectice in US (not to discourage, but tell you the fact).
first one has to pass USMLE step 1, Step 2 (CK and CS) and get ECFMG certification (info at ECFMG� | Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (http://www.ecfmg.org))
Then apply for residency and get into the residency (which is extremely competitive, requires high USMLE scores and reference letters and if you are old grade, many programs do not consider you).
Then Do the three/four year residency and pass USMLE step 3, get the license.

Absolutely no way to practice medicine unless she goes through above path (experience and training in india does not matter; only thing that will matter is her MBBS (if from regonized college there) which will allow her to sit for USMLE).

Many doctors in your mom's situation come here and do some paramedical job (phelbotomist, physical therapist etc).

Good Luck.

and when the processing dates move forward, the pd will retrogress. they will find ways to scr** this way or that.

I think processing dates only matters about if you can do SR. It doesn't matter if they are going to adjust your I-485. The reason I think this way is based on processing date for EAD and AP. Myself and many people got EAD or AP and our dates are no where close to the date list on processing center. So I think processing center date not really matters if they have your case in hand and ready to adjust.

Maybe when the boss at USCIS thinks CSR are bored, they will adavnce the date to keep them busy with SR.

Yes that is true, you have to show your passport and I-94 and EAD
you should be fine if they ask about expired I-94 (with stamp) as you have an extension till 2007.

so to answer your question show H1 extension if they ask.

hope this helps.

Good Luck :)

Actually I got H4 extension till Oct 1st 2007. Then H1B kicked in from same date(Oct 1st) until 2010, so new I-94 is with the current H1B...
Since I applied in July for AOS and got I-485 receipts in September, I think it doesn't matter if i am on H1 or H4 after that, since my status would be "Adjustment of status" right?,,not sure

So you think the H4 extension and the I-485 receipts would do? Or should I just show them the H1B, and tell them I plan to use EAD?

Thanks..!

Rest of the World.

The interview didn't last more than 10 minutes. She asked for copies of current employment letter and a copy of future employment offer letter. She kept my original (first) I-94 and attached it to the file she already had.

We were asked standard questions and additional proof of our relationship. We submitted copies of apartment lease, tax returns for 2006 (filed jointly).

'Have a nice day' is what she said to signal that the interview was over. On our way out I asked her if we are not supposed to get a decision today. She said she had to review a couple of things and that there's 'nothing to worry about' and we should receive written decision within 4 weeks. She did mention about 'a couple of security checks being pending'. I asked 'like name check and stuff', she said yes. I didn't say anything about that new memo regarding Name Check Pending for more than 180 days and just walked out quietly, because she didnt seem like she was going to take any more questions :)

Now I dont know what to do next? Any idea whats gonna happen? My PD, RD and ND all are current at this time.

i am july 2nd filer with PD Sept 2005.
I-140 approved in March 2006

Thanks for the link. It is really very helpful.

That is another risk of AC21. Remember that AC21 is just a rule and can be changed anytime. For example, the current AC21 rule is not requiring proof of ability to pay of the new employer. What if in the future they change the rules of the game and you are in the middle of it, you found out that your new employer is not cooperating regarding sending documents, etc.

Darn, am I stupid or what? I felt am I just chicken or am I just being wise?

Probable change in AC21 rules are these additional requirements:

1. New employer's ability to pay
2. New LC for the same occupation

The more we talk of using AC21 even before 180 days, the more USCIS will suspect of fraud.

Yes, it is called Consular Processing. You can apply using I140; Only Caveat being, visa number should be available (Priority date should be current) when attending the consular interview and the visa is employment/family based immigrant visa (unofficially green card) - not non-immigrant visas like H1/B1/L1.

I was able to file for COS on my own and successfully got it approved. The process took just about a month.

Hello,

My first H1-B visa expires in September 2009. I was going to have my company file for extension exactly 6 months before the expiry date until I found out I cannot travel out of the U.S. while my extension application is pending. I have a trip planned in July.

My company attorney recommended that I put off submitting the extension, go on my trip and apply as soon as I get back.

Is there any risk associated with doing this? Or is it better to apply as soon as I can at the 6 month mark?

Thank you,


Team

When using AC21, In case of RFE on I1485, do we need to have a copy of approved I-140 ?

Or is the receipt number enough ?

Friends,
Finally my 485 is approved,
" On July 26, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS"

Long wait is over....
I thank IV core members and all others for their efforts and information.
