I received my H-1B approval for one year but my I-797 arrived without an I-94....

The notice also states that approved I-129 has been sent to Hyderabad Consulate upon request.

Can someone provide some insight on how to proceed and what are the options? Is there a chance to obtain authorisation by re-entering through a POE? What does this mean to my future in the states. Please clarify.

You need to leave the US and return showing the new approval notice. You may be able to just go to Canada or Mexico (depending on those countries' immigration rules) and return showing the old H-1B visa and the new approval. You should do this ASAP because you have been out of status for quite a while now.

Hi,

I recieved my green card last month through Consular Processing and now getting a good offer. Is it OK to join another company just after 1 month of green card or I should wait for some more time. NEED SUGGESTIONS from experts:D

If you have good relations with your employer ask them to terminate your employment. That way at the time of your naturalization/citizenship you will have an alibi for "as to why you changed employment" with in 6 months.

This way you can prove that you had the intent to work for sponsoring employer but things didn't go well with the employer himself.

What abt the other categories which seem to be current 4th 5th religious workers etc. Where will their visas go if they stay current?

I think the Core team should try to contact her ASAP to make her aware of your situation. Her schedule will me more tight after January, and it might we very very difficult to get her attention for few months after that.

Question:
Quick question pertaining to different "A#" on I-140 & I-485. Is this a mistake by the Service or normal process?

I-140: A099 XXX XXX
I-485, I-765 & I-131: A088 XXX XXX


Attorney Response:
It is the I-485 A# that counts and we have seen this before without any apparent problem.

I worked for a firm for last couple of years and then moved to another firm. Now I want to apply for a Perm process and need the Experience letter. My previous employer has issued me the experience letter without my roles and responsibility:

It was an unprotected word file, so I changed it and incorporated the roles and responsibilty and my self submitted it to my employer; Now i am afraid if they are going to verify it.

1. What is the INS verification process?
2. Do employer can verifty it by Fax?
3. What can happen if INS came to know that everything was fine except the roles and responsibilities was included afterwards?

What you did was creative (in a bad way). Sorta illegal. And sorta forgerish and borderline fraudulent. I am not judging you, I am just telling you how it sounds.

Now, how did you add material to the word document that was already signed? And therin lies the bad part.

Anyways, correspondence between USCIS and employer/lawyer/employee is always thru mail. I dont think they communicate thru faxes.

Now, if for some reason INS (and by the way, its USCIS now) came to know afterwards, then you are in a deep hole because it sounds like fraud. Fraud is grounds of denial of immigration benefits (any benefit, like H1, or GC or citizenship). Besides, roles and responsibilities are not really needed if the letter says that all conditions in labor cert and 140 are still valid and employment is still offered as per labor cert. Then you dont need detailed description of what you are doing. And even if you felt the urge to add that part in your letter, why didnt you just ask them that?

They started it from March 4, 2011. I have asked the USCIS representative when i called today about when they are starting the Secure Mail Initiative to track Green Card/EAD. The procedure is still the same, if its lost in mail, you will have to file I-90. But atleast you will know if it has been mailed, to which city, state, zipcode it has been mailed to.

Thanks for that Iptel.

Will include it in our lawmaker materials list right away and incorporate it into our presentation as soon as I can.

best,

Iptel,
Superb find. Great job. Among other things, this report talks accurately about the current Green Card delays and solutions and how LEGAL HIGH-SKILLED IMMIGRANTS add to the economy and innovativeness in the U.S.

Selected sections can definitely be used to enlighten the lawmakers.

Keep 'em coming!!!

This is due to the change of address. The receipts which were returned to USCIS will be mailed back to your new address based on ur address from Ar-11 database. Nothing to worry. I had the same status and today I received the receipts which were returned back to them from my previous address.

I asked her if it is change of address they sent she is not sure but she said usually it is the card when Current Status: is "Document mailed to applicant."

She put in a service request for me and she some one is going to contact me in 30 business days.

Great. Thank you all very much. :)

sledge hammer:

can you explain if the new labors being cleared in the BEC centers (approximately 150K are still pending) are from 2001-2003?

In 2003, there should be a demand of 23% of 300K (couting spouses)=69K. Total visas are about 140K per annum. So there should be some movement. i dont understand why there will be no movement.
From the numbers, I had kinda thought in Feb that it was very surprising EB-2 India was not moving, and seems like I was right.

Anyways, I hope we all continue to move :)

hi,
I came to US 5 years back in H4. My husband processed GC and 140 is cleared and 485 pending. I got my EAD and now working. My husband and I have problems and he is threatening to ruin my life.
Can I know a few things
1. Can he take me out of the GC ?
2. Can he revoke my EAD ?
3. Can my employee extend my EAD which is expiring in 2010 and continue my GC.
please help...

If you are on a H4, you can be taken out of the pending 485 if you go through a divorce.

1. Possibly can with a divorce.
2. #1, can be considered automatically revoked if divorced.
3. No

There are 2 kinds of posts...(1) Which add value to the forum. Threads started for 401K, selecting a lawyer etc add value since they attract new members. (2) The second kind of posts are the ones initiated by people who want to ask questions. This questions tend to be serving individuals.

I think we should not restrict the first type of posts. There could some kind of charge on the second kind. One suggestion which may work is as follows

1. Only paying members can initiate threads(or may be allow the first few for free ). Exceptions can be permitted by admins who can review if a post could be useful.
2. Anyone can post answers to existing threads.

By the way I am not sure of the technical aspect of the website operations. So please bear with me if my post reflects the same.


Don't think that it would work... people will start asking questions in existing threads instead of initiating new threads for questions. So the number of irrelevant posts in threads will increase. I can't think of any way by which it can be enforced. Also, people who don't want to pay any money will easily find other free sites to ask their questions.

I don't dislike people from Andhra. I have close friends from Hyderabad.

I dislike irrelevant discussions that are motivated by race, region, or people of a certain kind. We don't need that here. It feels like housewives gossiping about useless topics.

You do not like housewives?

Although it does not feature in this article, Bush is using the word 'Guest Worker' more often these days. Any opinions about the emphasis on the word 'Guest' these days in Bush's speeches? Is there a covert message there?

Hi,

I m in the process of renewing AP for my family and have this question. When you renew for the family do you send all the application in one FedEx Envelope or one envelope for each application ?

Also, in case of E-Filing do you add all the applications under one login ?

Thanks in advance.

Im from Turkey.

vxg,

How come they are doing namechecks on women? That is supposed to only for male from 17-45 years of age? Can you please clarify? what is namecheck or TechnologyAlertList (this is the only check they can likely do on women as per my understaning).

What that namecheck on YOU or on your wife?

Thanks.


I asked the same question to my attorney as last time my wife was stuck in name check in H-4 stamping. This time she was on H-1 and I asked the attorney that if she goes for H-1 and H-1 get's delayed or denied can she use AP without affecting the GC and his answer was Yes. The AP should have an approval date before she left the country i.e. AP should be approved while she was in US.

I searched for IV on orkut and got three communities back, one with 2 members and two empty.. which one are we joining?
