I have a question on the receipt number. If we get the receipt number, does it mean "The application is accepted" (All the supporting documentation and fee are coorect)?

or

Are there any cases where receipt numbers is issued though the supporting documentation / fee is not correct?
If correct fee is not filed, application will be rejected.

Can somebody file 140/485 if labor is approved today July 18th based on the new directive? How about future Labor approvals, say August 5th? Could somebody plz throw some light on this?
If you labor is approved by July 31st, you can file your I-485 by August 17th.

If your labor is approved on Aug 1st or later, you'll not be able to file I-485 at this time. You can, of course, file I-140.

I looked at the link and it says:

Texas Service Center Filings
Mail your package to the Texas Service Center if you live in the following states:
AL, AR, CT, DE, FL, GA, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MS, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, SC, OK, PA, Puerto Rico, RI, TN, TX, VT, VA, U.S. Virgin Islands, WV, or Washington, DC

Does it mean that Imy application was filed in a wrong service center since I live in Minnesota?

I was hoping there would be some motivation from the IV core team for "mere mortals" like me...to keep us going in the new year...

Can the core group let us know what are they targeting right now? Are they targeting CIR next month? The lack of direction will really lead to less contribution. Without that,I will have a hard time convincing other friends about IV.

Have the core members given up and decreased their activity?

Thomas Friedman has a great op-ed piece in today's NY TImes that emphasizes that the US is going to have to innovate like crazy if we're going to emerge from this recession on top. And a liberal skilled immigration policy has got to be part of our strategy. Here are some of the key quotes: I still believe that America, with its unrivaled freedoms, venture capital industry, research universities and openness to new immigrants has the best assets to be taking advantage of this moment � to out-innovate our competition. But we should be pressing these advantages to the max...

Well, One of the companies I worked in the past used Morganlewis's service and I heard good reviews. I dint know they attend to individual cases as well.

up_guy, DO you happen to know if they take up individual cases?

crazyAbtUS
I donot think they take individual cases..My new employer uses that firm.

I have my 140 approved and my wife is on F1. How can I proceed with filing 485? (since the dates are current). I am thinking that my wife need to be on H4 before I file for 485.
Will appreciate if anyone has had similar experience and is willing to share.

Thanks!

Tikka will be interviewed. Thanks Tikka for helping us despite being busy at work when nobody else came forward.

Is there any legal issues?

Is it a good idea?
DHS will be rescinding its July 2 update and the initial July Visa Bulletin will take effect for 31 days � i.e., all employment-based green card categories (except for the �Other Workers� category) will be �current� and CIS will accept applications through August 17.

DHS will issue a press release to this effect later today.

Hi

My wife recently went for a H1B renewal stamping in india. They visa officer provided a 221(g) administrative processing (pink) requesting additional documents (job description, reasearch projects, previous visas list etc..,). She is preparing the necessary docs to submit the same. Since she went to india for a short trip (travelling back next week).

1. She has Advanced parole. Can we use Advance parole??
2. If we use Advance parole, then once the Adminstrative processing is complete, how do we handle the stamping?? Do we need to go back again to the consulate to get the stamping done? or is there a way to withdraw the visa application from the consulate??

I would greatly appreciate if someone is similar situation share their experiences

if you can go to biometric center within 10 days of original appointment and do a walk-in on a walk-in date, usually WED;
else
go to biometric center and hand over the originals (after keeping a copy) and ask them to reschdule and give them for ex., any date after 25th OCT 2007.

PM me for more info and we will talk.

U R better off rescheduling your mexico appointment - its something that could be done within next 3 to 4 months for sure. The problem of rescheduled FP is, it kind of throws your case in the back and based on ASC's load, it might take them upto an year or more (think 800,000) for them to put you in again.

Its just my opinion based on my conversation with my lawyer - since we were in S. Africa and my lawyer notified me about the FP and my lawyer blurted out what I said above.

Make sure you do not travel out of USA before you get your approved AP, since as per the law if the person who filled I485 leaves the country without AP then it is considered that he abandoned his I485, with the exception given to H1B/H4 and L1/L2 (and youdont have any of these)

If you leave USA without AP then you need to restart the process, if you have AP then that is all you need to travel.

Please, respond with any advice/experience

I know its pretty cold here in Wisconsin these days, but come on!!!!

Speak up.....Say something...Somebody...Please....
The silence is deafening!!!!!!


Hello from Wisconsin......
We tried to organize a little meeting back in December. But not much came out of it.
We should try again.

My H1 Extension approved from Sept'2010 - Dec 2012. LCA shows same dates and the salary shown is $5500 PM ($66000 P.A)

However recently, i noticed that i am receiving $5373(instead of $5500) per month since Sept'2010 till date.
I informed to my employer and he is willing to increase the pay from March.

Is it possible to correct it from March payroll.

Please advise.


Regards,
Sunshine

The employer should correct it from March and pay the 6 months difference as bonus. At end of year your salary should be at least equal to LCA.

Hi all,

I am on H4 for the past few years. This year I am planning to switch to H1. A consulting firm of only 5 employees is willing to sponsor my H1. I would like to know the chances of my H1 getting approved. Because the company is small am I going to face any problems? What will be the impact of the size of the company on H1 approvals.

I would really appreciate your inputs because this time I want to resume my career again and I don't want to have any problems with H1.

Thanks,

Amul

hello?!!!

anyone?!!!.............

Hi,
I am a july 2 filer and I am in the same boat. I did call uscis and usually they give us the same answer that says we received your application on so and so and we will work on this. this is the latest and greatest information we have. I tried a different combination and found that my application has been moved to STORAGE facility. I am in the process of retriving that by sending Expedite request from lawyer.

Try this combination to know the status of your application.

1800 375 5283

1,2,2,6,1 ,Enter receipt number, 1 listen to message, 3 ,4
This will connect you to immigration information officer who has access to the database and he can give you a good picture about your application.All the best
