Hello,

My H1B was approved 3 weeks back i.e on July 1st and also received approval notice from USCIS on July 5th in USPS mail

But today I have received the status change from Approved to Document mailed from USCIS online system

Application Type: I129 , PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER

Current Status: DOCUMENT OTHER THAN CARD OR TRAVEL DOCUMENT MAILED TO APPLICANT

On July 21, 2009, your document I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER was processed and mailed to the address on record. If you have not received it within 30 days of July 21, 2009, contact our customer service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move while your case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your address.


what does it mean ?

Thanks in Advance


The USCIS system if often messed up, as long as you have received your approval you are good to work on H-1. In rare cases they may decide to send an notice to revoke after they approve the case since they have overlooked something. I would not worry until i actually get such a notice, also you can have your employer call national customer service to make sure everything is okay with your approval.

Thank you hpandey for the clarification. If I apply H1B extension in premium processing in apr itself, I will know soon if it will go through or not. My plan is to apply H1B transfer immediately to a new employer in case of H1B extension denial from the current employer, as I will still have valid H1B for few more months till Sep 09.

One more doubt I have is whether it will raise a red flag for USCIS, if I apply premium processing in apr 09 for extension from oct 1st 09 or will it be fine. Please let me know.

What is your PD & EB Category please?

Please post this at lawyer's section ("Ask a lawyer for free") so that an attorney can help you answer the questions.

well done... i agree, the second and third are best, but i think the second would be best. the black man in blue world, for some reason feels cliched. i don't know it feels like i've seen it before. although the second logo, is getting pretty boring niraj ;). i've known you for years... it's time for a change. ;). but it's cool anyway :esmirk:

Your Priority date seems to be Dec 2005 and if i remember correctly USCIS had a memo to complete all Background Check in 6 Months so yours should have been over long time ago.
But Again I am not a expert here and could be wrong, EXPERTS please advise

Does any one know on an average how much time it will take to complete background check?

My PD is current this month and there is background check pending on my case..

I'm pretty certain (95%) these are lifted from another illustrator but for the life of me I cant remember who.

Lets write to Rep Joe Lofgren ..that you got an inventory of houses and we are not given GC's to buy these homes..how unfair to the US housing market..

Looks like what Mr alberto Pinto has been suggessting all along is comming true today...

That is just so wrong - you need BS and MS, it does not matter how long your MS takes.

My understanding is that USCIS pre-adjudicates every application and requests fingerprint/namecheck, even if the dates are not current. It is done to weed out denials right away - you don't need to wait for PD to become current to be denied.

Wow, This is good to know that at POE they can allow to stay more than the visa expiry date. Thanks.

I am not sure if core can post the info even if they have....This is a material non public information...could be liable for damages

Not to pressure you or anything, it would be great if you can post what you know....you may not be 100% certain....that is fine.

Can she open a business on H4 and won't need B1/B2 (I read somewhere that Canadian citizens generally come on B1/B2 to establish a business and then apply for E2)? Let's take an example, we invest 50K into a business and which employs 5-6 US citizens and also buys raw material/products from US suppliers with profit generated is 3K per month, will that be OK? Also, since she is on H4 and I am on H1 and none of us can work for the business how do we set it up?

Hello,

I am currently on H4 visa and I am planning to pursue an MBA program. If i choose to study in H4, i know i qualify for the California resident fee discount. If i change my visa to F1 for studies, would i not be eligible for the california resident discount? or would i lose the residency status?

Thanks.

Thanks GC check!

Yes I am using EAD and AC21 for joining new employer and job title and responsibilities are very similar.

Can I hire a new attorney who can access that information? Or the new company attorney? I think it's going to be impossible to make my present company attorney reveal that detail to me. Since this information is public I think there should be some way to get those details. Please help.

Complain? Nah, I am a D70 fan, nice camera.....

Dear IV Members,

For those of us who have followed the immigration debate for last couple of years, we know that Stuart Anderson is one of the few sane voices when it comes to high skilled immigration.

Stuart has recently published a complete book on Immigration and how it applies to business and economics. The book also covers important background and relevant history of the Immigration bills, key players and how the events around us affect us all. Here is the link to the recently published must read book by Stuart -

Amazon.com: Immigration (Greenwood Guides to Business and Economics) (9780313380280): Stuart Anderson: Books (http://www.amazon.com/Immigration-Greenwood-Guides-Business-Economics/dp/0313380287/)

Thanks,

Each month visa bulletin is preceded with a demand data. So bulletin should come today or tomorrow.


Check out data for China. It shows significant reduction from last month. Expectations are low for India but China will advance a lot in July.

If spillover kicks in (& it should in July) then both China and India will have to move together (exact same cutoff date, because the law says spillover visa's are to be used evenly by those in the same category. USCIS has been doing horizontal spillover, so all EB2's will be equally eligible and have the same cutoff.

first thing first update your profile.

Hi Experts,
On July 8th I filed my EAD. I never got any Finger Print Appointment from USCIS. I have been constantly trying to reach them about my FP appointment. But, on Sep 20TH I got a notice saying my petition has been denied because I have not appeared for my FP on Aug 3rd.

They asked me to file a motion, my confusion is should I file a motion or should I reapply. Which one makes it easy and fast to get my EAD ASAP.

Thanks,

Thanks. Any ideas how we can make the WIKI popular. We should make this a useful resource for everyone.
