why did your case go to audit? would you mind sharing?

Folks

When I sign in to USCIS online status for my 140, I found this

On August 12, 2007, we received this I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we re
....

Is this August 16 receipt date or notice date? I dont remember when my lawyer sent my 140 to USCIS?

Had a quick question. Not sure if this has been discussed before. Planning to get wife here on H4 and she wants to study. I have applied for 485 and in retro now. Is it advisable to study on H4 or F1? I know she can work on F1 but would that not be advisable since lets say the VB does become current in future for me then filing her 485 might be a problem since F1 is pure non immigrant and USCIS might hold it againt her. Any info/simlar situations greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You can only work on an F1 under OPT which can only be applied for after at least two full semesters of studying or after graduation.

The F1 is not purely a non immigrant visa since this is the one people like my son are transferring to since they aged out of the employment based immigration system. If it were this would not be possible.

An H4 is as good as any choice if she plans to study. The fees will depend entirely on the state and the educational institution she chooses to attend.

Friends,

I have the following situation, any help/pointers is much appreciated:
- Have EAD (expired Sep 2010). H1B expires Dec 20, 2009.
- I was informed sometime back that I am going to be laid off mid September (next week)
- I am expecting another job offer (interview went well and most likely will get the job) and plan to start at that job late September / eraly October 2009.
- The new offer that I am expecting to get is for the position of Senior Software Engineer, whereas my previous position (where I will be laid off from) was Software Engineer.

So, my questions are:
1. Is it still possible to transfer my H1B visa even though I expect a gap of atleast 2 weeks between the two jobs, or is it better to switch over to the EAD?
2. Will it be a problem for my pending 485 application if my position changes to Senior Software Engr? (although the responsibilities in both positions are about 95% similar, few more responsibilities as a Senior Eng, thats all)
3. If I end up changing over to EAD, what next steps should I do (wrt keeping my 485 applicationb alive and to inform USCIS that I have switched over to EAD).
4. A few months before I got the notice of layoff, I got engaged to a woman in India. I would have preferred to get married by end of the year (would have applied for 1yr extension of H1b) so that my wife could have come over on H4 visa. Now, if I switch over to EAD, what are the options of bringing my (to be) wife over? Is this going to be a problem?

We had the same thing happen for our AP application. I recently saw that document mailed on the 17th. They processed both our cases at the same time. if I were you, I wouldnt worry. I had efiled on June 18.

Title and Job responsibilities dont matter as long as they are same or similar. Your GC Labor has been approved for the title 'Analyst Programmer', so its well worth an effort for you to carry that forward (in same or similar lines).

Hi
My middle name is given only initial on not full on 1-485 ,131 receipt but 765 has full name
can any one advise me on how to resolve it.

I am on H1 now and my H1 B approval also had my middle name as initial.

Why are you worried? Dropping middle name in North American naming conventions is common, but that should not matter.

Looking for a fair priced attorney in Chicago to file a simple Follow To Join petition. Anyone has any advise/contacts?

I received an email from my lawyer on 26th June 2007 that they have received my approved labor certification in mail today. I got my medical examination i.e. form I-693 performed on June 23rd 2007 and received the results on June 25th 2007. I have already filed my I-485. Will it be a problem since I have got my medical test done a few days before receiving my labor certification.

Jan Brewer Starts Badly, Finishes Worse, In Last Night's Arizona Gubernatorial Debate (VIDEO) (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/02/jan-brewer-starts-badly-f_n_703559.html)

starting with : we have 'uh' did what right for arizona...

No wonder why AZ tightened the immigration law, may be illegal immigration caused the damage on American grammar.

I wonder how many of you caught this from Obama's facebook:

Advise the Advisor | The White House (http://www.whitehouse.gov/advise)

I threw in my advise on the two questions:
* How is American innovation affecting your community?
* What are the obstacles to innovation that you see in
your community? And what steps can be taken to remove them?
e-Trade and e-commerce is the most prominent product of innovation, and continues to grow.

Obstacles to innovation in my community: I belong to the community of people who are in US on a work visa. Our main obstacle is the US laws themselves, because the present laws forbid us from doing anything on our own. If I wanted to make facebook, US laws would say, hey, go back home and come back on an EB5. Of course, we cant do that. So your laws are being ridiculous

Let's go at it, since they want to listen

Thanks!

Would you know the minimum wage level needed to qualify for EB2?

I read the link posted. This is an independent think tank about movement of people worldwide and the report in general analyses the three upcoming bills in relation to EB and non EB immigration and illegals. Overall the bill states that immigration is of benefit to the US and the degree of benefit depends on the legality and skill level of the immigrants, and they suggest that Family category 4 and DV category should be eliminated and used for EB immigration and also suggest readjusting the per country cap to accomadate for the reality of more immigrants from the retrogressed countries. I think this is good and we should include this in our presentation to the lawmakers, this will carry good weight.

Actually stay outside the country does not constitute towards bench time. So if you are outside country - you are not in bench. One American Consulting company I used to work for way back in 2001 - used to move benched candidates to Canada (if they need to be benched for long time) and then bring them back when they get a project.

Please remember that you may be asked to prove you have a project at POE so when you come back have copies of contract to prove it.

Please verify with an Attorney on my statement above.

Work travel prevents me from attending the DC rally on the 18th (was going to attend on the 13th), but if anyone is hesitating on whether to go due to funds, i offer $200 if you promise to attend. Send me a private message!

Thanks. Send a note to KanMe about this
