Do i also need chest X-Ray Report to submit with I-693 ??

Just check if the physician fills out the I-693 form without errors and signs it appropriately.

Hi,

I have been filed in EB2 with a priority date of Feb 26 2007.
What you guys think about the possibility of my PD getting current this year?
I know that it needs a crystal ball to predict such horrendun things like PD movement, but I am just trying to get a poll on the general feeling about the spillover this year.

Thanks in advance.

You can check out the EB3-EB2 calculations thread. You have a decent chance of getting your GC by September 2011 based on the predictions there.

Record $14 trillion-plus debt weighs on Congress


Record $14 trillion-plus debt weighs on Congress - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110115/ap_on_re_us/us_debt_wars)


Taught of debating if it is worth to live here more ??

Basically I came here to earn some money and to have some good life ( cleaning my bathroom myself -- lol )

The way things are going here in US with Jobs / Economy overall thinking if it is worth to live here and worth to get a US Passport or to keep renewing GC.

I know it all depends on each indivisual perspective and views.. but taught of looking other views on this.

Thanks and Regards -- Green_Always :-)

Hello,

I am in process of finding H-1B sponsoring companies for my brother who is in India currently.

Is there anyway I can research a company.
- How many employees does it have
- How many h-1bs has that company filed in previous years (2006 & 2007)
- How many LCs (For greencard) has that company filed
- Financial condition of the company.

I had come accross a link earlier on IV forum which had prior h-1b info but can't find that thread now.

Any help is appreciated.

I think if one is in hell, USCIS can hand deliver..

Heaven is another Story (storey?).. :-)

But as a recent believer in buddhist ideals, I think I will just be a cow in my next life..

That brings up a good point.. as a cow, it would be a bad life for me in USA.. India would be much better bet.. I would be worshipped and rarely eaten.. hmm.. Thinking ahead of the curve, I think I will apply for a "cow green card" for India.. Cows will be clamouring to get to India.. I will be mooing away soon..

Actually, you can file 485 when your PD becomes current, even if the 140 is still pending approval. You need to submit the 140 details alongwith your 484 application.

Is it possible for someone to post a link to the same. I have tried looking and found nothing.

Thanks

Can we attend this or it is only for Staff people in Congress?

Based on my experience i do not see any issues in your case

Ensure your EB2 and EB3 job duties are different at least 50%

Apply for PERM ASAP as it is only 7 months now..

Porting is good and easy.. give it a try...

That could be viewed as remuneration for services thus meeting the USCIS definition of employment. At least theorhetically, this would violate your H-1 status.

I have lived in GA for 5 years...but here is what I found on GSU's site (the school I would like to go to, looks like they have a specific policy):

Information for H-1B Visa holders
H1-B visa-holders and their H-4 dependents residing in Georgia while waiting for approval of adjustment of status to U. S. legal permanent resident shall have the same privilege of consideration for payment of in-state tuition rate as a citizen of the United States. These individuals must be able to show clear evidence of having taken all legally permissible steps under applicable provisions of immigration law toward establishing legal permanent residence in the

United States and the establishment of domicile in the State of Georgia at least 12 months prior to the first day of classes for the term in which they are seeking payment of the in-state tuition rate.

One or more of the following documents should be submitted as proof of taking the appropriate steps toward U.S. legal permanent resident status.

I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record)
Form ETA - 9089 Alien Labor Certification Application
I-140 Immigrant Petition for an Alien Worker
Receipt notice (I-797) for filing Form I-485 - Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status

I have received the following 485 Rfe for my spouse and myself, I am posting the whole
text from RFE letter. Also USCIS has sent me a copy of the current I-693 Form which
was sent with our application as a sealed copy.
The reason I think for the RFE is because the civil surgeon I had used was in the list
of USCIS civil surgeons in 2007 but now he is no more in the list, hence as they touched my application now, the form need to be signed by a designed civil surgeon on the current uscis list. Has any one received an rfe like or similar to this.
Please suggest the best possible to resolve this one.


Request For Evidence

This office is unable to complete the processing of your application without further information. Please read and comply with the request below, then submit the evidence to the above address. Include a copy of this letter and place the attached gold sheet on top of your documents.

A review of your file indicates that the medical examination(Form I-693) you submitted was not completed by a designated civil surgeon, and therefore this Service cannot accept it.

Please take the enclosed copy of Form(I-693) with this notice to the same clinic so that
the designated civil surgeon can review and sign the medical examination. A list of designated civil surgeons can be obtained by calling the USCIS National Customer Service Centre at 1-800-375-8253, or via the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov. You do not need to undergo the entire medical examination.Once this is complete, please return the amendend Form I-693 in an envelope sealed by the designated civil surgeon.

You must submit the requested information within thirty(30) days from the date of this letter(33 days if this notice received by mail). Failure to do so may result in the denial of your application.

Here is a quick update from the California Service Center regarding this new fee. The additional filing fees of $2,000 for certain H-1B petitions and $2,250 for certain L- 1A and L-1B petitions is applicable to petitioning employers who employ 50 or more employees in the United States and 50% of the petitioner�s employees are in H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status. The PL 111-230 fees do not apply to petitions requesting an extension of H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status with the same employer (only for initial filings for a new beneficiary).

When the fee is not required, it is critical that the petitioner explicitly acknowledge this and explain why it is not required in the I-129 filing. If this is not done, USCIS will likely issue a Request for Evidence asking for a statement from the petitioner, causing unnecessary delays in processing.


The Service Center previously stated:

Until the Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (Form I-129) and the Nonimmigrant Petition Based on Blanket L Petition (Form I-129S) are revised, USCIS recommends that all H-1B, L-1A, and L-1B petitioners include, as part of the filing packet, the new fee or a statement or other evidence outlining why this new fee does not apply. USCIS requests that petitioners include a notation indicating whether or not the fee is required in bold capital letters at the top of the cover letter. The fee, statement, notation, or other evidence should be provided with each petition submitted. Where the fee or documentation is not submitted with the filing, or where questions remain, USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence to determine whether the additional fee applies to the petition.The following is a sample statement that the petitioner employer could use:

By this statement we confirm that our company (the petitioner) is not required to pay the H-1B filing fee under Public Law 111-230. Our business does not have more than 50 percent of our employees in the United States in H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant visa status. Therefore, we are not required to pay the additional filing fee.

Please email me with any questions regarding the above referenced info.

my mothe in law is visiting us. she came to the Us last Aug 2006 as a B2 (tourist visa). we extented her visa once which iwas valid for Aug 8, 2007. then we applied for the extention again. yesterday we received the letter saying USCIS is not going to extend the visa anymore. the application had been rejected. but they didn't mentioned any date in the letter about when she have to go back.

what is safe for her? does she have any deadline to go back? is it 15 days or a month....

someone please let me know...thanks ahead

Generally, they give only one extension. Technically, I think she is already overstaying? The bigger problem will be coming back next time. Did you try calling them?

All the cases filed in feb 2007 and sent to nebraska are still pending including mine. Some cases filed in feb in texas center have been processed.

Don't worry you need to wait atleast few more months for them to start looking at your application.

check the processing times here

I think that it was a trial balloon. I have seen this pattern for most of the major issues this administration is planning to tackle. Take TARP for example...for a month one would just hear leaks about proposed solutions. Media would pick it up and give a reaction, the next leak would be an updated version based on the feedback. Such articles help keep the issue in the forefront, help gauge the reaction (both positive and negative) and provide a simple exit to backtrack incase of major opposition. :rolleyes:

Any suggestion please..

You could file a new 485 based on your approved I-140 and withdraw the old I-485. That seems to be the easiest way.

This is not legal advice. Please consult a qualified attorney.

Is letter from employee needed for filing I-485 for my spouse. I filed I-485 under EB3 last August and it's still pending. She takes my PD and my PD will be current in May. I have an old letter from my employer when filing my I-485 last August but was wondering if a new letter from employer is needed or the old one would do.

Thanks in advance.

does not hurt to get a new one.

Thanks for your sharing your experience. Thats my understanding too.

IV members

You can scan the hard copy using a scanner to get a soft copy. If you don't have a scanner, you can use one at Fedex-Kinko store.

Almost a good percentage of IV members are ready to file their I-140/I-485. I was one of the fortunate ones who will be able to file I485, due to the date moving from 2001 to 2003 last month for Eb3. The moment I got this happy news that I can file I-485, I celebrated by contributing $20 to IV. And my request to all of you who are in good spirits as of today due to the dates being current for I140/485, please do the same. This will help IV to continue fighting for the removal of retrogression to the best extent. I am sure all of us agree with me, that there is a long way to go in the journey of this GC. So, please contribute.


So many views at this thread, but no response..hmmmm...
