Hi,

I have a question an experts:

Shustermann says that today ist the last day that all the employment- based-preference categories are current (exception unskilled workers). Ok, now he sasy : We recommand that Employers and their attorneys e-filing their I-140 today.

Please explain me if thats so important to file today the I-140 becouse just today the priority date are current.
I dont understand whats has the filing form I-140 to do with the priority Dates. Priority date is the PERM date??

this is good information, thank you.

Lately, US Consular Officers in Canada have been reluctant to issue H-1B visas when the applicant does not have a US or Canadian University Degree AND has never had an H-1B visa issued at his/her home Consulate. The following is an excerpt from Visa Requirements � U.S. Consular Services in Canada (http://www.consular.canada.usembassy.gov/usa_visa.asp#ability:)

"Evidence of qualifications must be original or certified copy. Consular officers in Canada may refuse to issue a visa to H-1B applicants if their education and /or work experience is solely or predominantly from a country other than the U.S. or Canada."

As you probably know, if you are refused a visa in Canada, you cannot return to the US until you travel to your home country and obtain your H-1B visa there.

Minimum requirement for Sr. Software Engineer can be MS + 2 years experience.

If Sr. Software Engineer is not your current designation then go with SE instead of SSE.

My wife and I are scheduled to go for fingerprinting this month. We have a year old son and obviously we are planning to take him with us as well. Do I need to take any form of ID / birth certificate of my son (obviously he is not to be fingerprinted) but not sure what the rules are with respect to carrying infants for the interview. Anyone who has fingerprinted in a similar situation?

As the title suggest, it is meant for folks who have invoked AC21 (1-140 approved, I-485 filed & pending more than 6 months, job desc almost similar) successfully and unsuccessfully.

If you have successfully transferred, can you comment on the experience, any denial notices that you had to overcome? Have you got the green card finally?

If unsuccessful, what issues are you facing? Is there some work around or going back to desh is the only option?

Thoughts/Comments--from AC21 league members.

Thanks

USCIS is the US Govt..You do not tell Uncle SAm how to do their job....!!

I have changed jobs using EAD after 1.5 years of filing I-485. Can I file for a new Eb-2 case with my new employer and port the priority date of my EB-3 case ? Thanks.

Hi,

I too have the same question. Isnt EAD a non-immigrant status unlike H1B? So, how can one apply for GC on a non-immigrant status? I might be wrong though.

fromnaija:
where did you read about this? would you point me to the source?

I always thought that till a decision has been made, you can work on a H1 renewal/ transfer

Hello All,
I am going to India and have to go for stamping. I come under Chennai consular district but planning to go to Delhi because of high rejection rate in Chennai.

First thing, I am not sure if I can go to Delhi when I come under Chennai consular district.

Second thing is, should there be a valid reason with supporting documents for attending the visa appointment in Delhi instead of Chennai.

Your thoughts and experiences on the above points would be very helpul for me in resolving this issue. Thanks a lot.

Guys,

I am also very proud on the news., but lets stick to immigration issues on this site. With all respect to this, please dont post any more on this news. Just imagine if others also post other irrelevant issues here. The admins will be forced to look at threads more frequently to delete such. Do we really want to give them this trouble.. Pls..

BTW, my wife is out of US right. She came here and went back half year ago with visitor visa.

that is available to applicants in research (such as doctoral students).

Murthy.com has information here:
MurthyDotCom : Employment-Based Immigration (http://murthy.com/eb1opr.html)

Additionally, you can always apply in EB1 Extraordinary Ability if you have outstanding qualifications (almost matching that of a Nobel Prize Winner or you are the top of your industry).

EB1-EA tips (http://bit.ly/dophyK) (<= Look here for tips)

Just a mere Doctoral degree does not get you qualified for EB1. You need the publications as well as recommendation letters from industry experts. :)

Thanks for the advise ...

Stay away from Harvey Shapiro law firm in NJ/NY. Very irresponsible.

If your Dads age more then 60 then D157 not required

It is not illegal. Some companies apply for extensions a bit late and in the mean time, the VISA expires. It is OK. At the most he/she will not be able to drive as the drivers license is linked to the VISA expiry.

i want to delete it - send it to the recycle bin where it deserves

The first status is that USCIS has approved your EAD and ordered for a card. The second status means that they mailed you the card. You should get the card in next 5 business days.

It was my understanding that in the current context when people say "Hagel bill" they are talking about the "Hagel-Martinez" compromise on guest worker legalization, not the entire old Hagel bill.

See http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/05/immigration/index.html

Is there any concrete article/source that suggests this is not the case?
