What would happen to those in EB3 but havent filed their 485 yet, or prospective EB3 applicants who havent filed for labor yet? Not all jobs or applicants qualify in EB1/EB2 category - to hell with them?? :confused:

My wife is working on EAD and her EAD is expiring begining of next month. New EAD has been applied. Can she work with the EAD renewal receipt if the EAD expires ? What are the possible options ? Pleas help

Welcome to the Land of the freeeeeeee.
They call it Democracy....

My lawyer said we can use the same non PO Box address mentioned in the EAD to send the AP documents as well. According to the lawyer you can send it all in one big envelope and demarcate the I-131 vs the I-765 or do it like I am, in 2 seperate smaller envelopes and then I am going to put the 2 envelopes in the same fedex package and mail it out.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking of doing. But then I was not sure why they haven't given the non-PO address for AP. So I was worried and decided to mail one envelope with both the EAD's to the EAD PO BOX address and then the other one with both our AP's to the AP POBox address.. I am not sure what I will do...

thanks.

He will have to file labor again.

Few things to note:
� It does not matter if he is PhD or not, what matters is that the job for which his company will be applying his Labor justifies a Masters or PhD. If he qualifies, then yes, go ahead and file a new labor.
� New labor is not as fast to get approved as was earlier. It is taking from anywhere 12-14 months now a days to get it approved. It is only after labor approval that you can port.

question about i-20. do u need to submit only 1 i-20 that you received when entered the school or u need to submit the travel i-20 u get whenever u travel outside usa while on f1 visa?

Oh that's flipping typical, I think my hosting went down.
Right, I'll just set up a photobucket account for the moment...

There, that's not all of them but my hosting should be back soonish.

this is greta idea! and I have seen it used in my comany ..
and people are motivated! you can see from recent campaign...people have contributed to 30K goal and we are near!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure if this is the section to post this.

I am listing a few things that rake up my mind whenever I think of my prolonged (for me its prolonged though) stay in US. Dragging my feet over decisions to go back or not.

My posting is entirely my view. I would not be willing to trample on other's feelings. Just sharing a few things.

Cons
------
1) Leave everything behind as such in our native place and start everything afresh here. Looks cool for a start. But end up in a remote place with few people and no friends. Life starts to suck when you move on for some months in the remote place. Some like it most don't.
2) Trying to look back on what we missed being with family and friends, those good old days. Sitting on a wall/bench and chatting about daily happenings/cricket etc
3) Going back after some time to be bewildered on what happened to those buildings that were there. Before you digest all those, your vacation is gone. Poof
4) Most Importanty, live with fear on what will happen to those near and dear who have been wishing us good luck and health. Just imagining that fact that when you visit back next time, they might not be there, gives me sleepless nights. This is true even when you are back in your native place but at least you have a solace in seeing them whenever you require and help them in their times of need physically. Nothing is like what you do rather than telling others to do.
5) Missing all those religious events, happenings, special occasions.

Pros
-----
1) Live own life without any bindings (we can give umpteen excuses on how we are forced to live but its still our life)
2) Money factor
3) Move away from petty politics
4) Your own car.
5) Wifeys like it here as it moves them from home politics and they drive the home here.

These are my thoughts. Just sharing with a few who might care.

I don't see a reason why premium processing will lead to rejection. Certainly that is not the case with H-1B. Infact 2-3 years back H-1B premium processing had 0.5% higher approval rate than regular H-1B.

Like many others we have been waiting for our AOS application to be approved for over 2 years. But the strange thing is, I did get an EAD approved but they never called me in for fingerprinting and Biometrics. I know I had to do the non-immigration "registration" that was initiated a few years ago and they had taken my fingerprints and biometrics, is that why they didn't call me in again? since they already have it?

I had to get the fingerprints and retinal scan the last time I went out of the country and had to get the visa stamping done. But I don't think it was termed as non-immigrant "registration".

Are you stuck in FBI name check? You can call CIS and check the status.

Hi,
I am on L1 B (Individual) Visa since last three years. In January my company filed for extension, this time on L1 (Blanket). I received RFE in March, which my company replied in April. A couple days before the attorney called us mentioning the petition has been denied and I am awaiting final documentation.

Here are facts:
I am Senior Product Manager with Bachelor's in Computer Science and around 8 years of Experience working with the same Company. 5 years(India Subsidiary) and 3 Years US HQ.
We did mentioned in our RFE that I have the sole knowledge of two products that I represent and that with other things to convince USCIS.

My company is open and willing to appeal against the decision.

Questions: Could it be a reason that Attorney couldn't represent my case well and in that case should I reconsider other Attorney who is specialized in L1 process.
-Can appeal process buy me some time and should I start my H1B process simultaneously?
If yes, is that something which I can do legally.
-How much time can appeal process buy, is it two months, 4 months, 6 months ??
- My wife is on H1 and I do have 10 years B1 visa on my passport. Given those circumstances I do understant that my options for legally staying in US are open but I really want to avoid compromising options and save current working status.

I have been thinking-thinking a lot during last couple days and thus Any help and directions would be appreciated.

Regards,
Manu

Folks,
Mine is 2003 EB3 labor, I don�t have copy of the labor. Don�t know the job code and title, planning to switch AC21 and not sure how to get this code as i had already left the old blood sucking desi employer, any suggestions,
Thanks in advance.
:D

PERM processing for non-audited cases is taking anywhere from 8-12 months these days. Assuming your case does not come under audit, then yes, with premium processing of I-140, you can expect both your Labor/I-140 being approved by Dec 2010 (assuming the 8-12 month PERM processing times still hold good)

Thanks for the reply. If my labor/i-140 is approved by December 2010, can I continue to stay in US?

Unless the first company cancels their H1B

But if they had stop paying him then he might have a problem.

Please select any of one from following options that fits your situation

I don't think you read his question- He/She wanted to know if the FP can be done in an American Consulate General in India if he gets his FP notice while he/she is in India.

Does anyone know of this situation and if any consulate in India can do the FP?


If you get your FP notice while in the US go to the ceter any day at 7.45 am before the center opens and request the staff to do the FP.They generaly oblige.I did it in Los Angeles.

My old labor from 2001 is now up for review. This past Friday, my company put an ad in the newspaper. Dept of labor asked for
3 consecutive days and 1 posting in the office. Sunday was the first day. Basically I have a question. DOL has already placed an ad
on American job bank. They basically have Bachelors as the requirement. They do not mention what the discipline the bachelors need to be in.

However, the ad my company placed last Friday has Bachelors in computer science or Computer information systems. The job description is the same as the one
DOL posted on American Job bank. Do you think because they just used Bachelors in their posting and my company used Bachelors in Computer Science or CIS will
make a difference. Another words, can DOL reject my labor because of that. DOL, by using Bachelors, they are saying that anyone with Bachelors can apply. While my company is saying, only CIS or CS grads can apply.

Actually my attorney from 2001, made a mistake when he filed ETA 750. He listed education as Bachelors in Computer. So basically the advertisement should have been Bachelors in computer, as such what DOL is asking for. Mirror copy of ETA 750. However my company is saying that Bachelors in Computer is such broad term and does not make sense. That's why they placed the ad with Bachelors in Computer science or information systems. So having said that, what are chances that DOL will reject that advertisement, and make us re do it using Bachelors in Computer like the ETA 750 form is asking. Can we amend the form at this later of the ball game.

The advertisement is like 1000 for 3 days. The company picked up the tab this time, but if it is a mistake then I would have to pay for it. The did not even want to pursue this since they already have PERM and I140 approved for me. Getting this old labor certified for me, I would save a lot of time and be able to file 485 since my date is current. Using PERM priority date, it will take years.

Any thought will be appreciated.

Also, how do I remove him as the contact person for my labor. My company doe not want deal with him anymore.

can they send a letter for Backlog Center in Dallas.

Thanks!

Well i had the same on my H1 approved in Aug 2004!

Looks like the demand data does not include the backlog at NVC. How does it work? I am not familiar with the process. Any ideas...?

Please see my earlier posting:
Here is the latest snapshot of the backlog of EB applications:
EB1= 7,595 + 2,961 ( at NVC) + new applications.
EB2= 45,573 + 6,738 ( at NVC) + Huge backlog waiting in line.
EB3= 114,442 + 102,395 ( at NVC) + unknown backlog waiting in line.
*NVC stands for National Visa Center.
** Does not include service centers.

* Spillover to EB3 may not happen for several years due to a large number of EB2's waiting to submit their 485 applications.
* Even if spillover occurs, majority of them will go to EB3 Philippines (please See the NVC backlog).
* From the above, assuming no spillover to EB3-I, it would take (56,640 + 20,873)/2600=30 years.
* With spillover (lets say after 5++ years due to the pending EB2�s), it may take another 5 to 7 years to clear the EB3 backlog.
