True enough, Dixie. I was hoping that other affected parties would become aware of this site through digg. Even one more contribution through this promotion would be worth it, I think.

Whatever it takes. That's the spirit saiku. We need more and more people who will execute their ideas.

Thanks a lot!

I am on H1b and work for a desi consultancy company. My project with a client ended some time ago and due to bad market, I have been so far, unable to get onto another project. Now my employer is asking me to go back to my country for some time as I dont have a project in hand. I am worried that this may result in canceling of my H1b visa. However, employer is trying to assure me that he won't cancel it. I am wondering has anybody (somebody you know) been in this kind of situation. FWIW, I do have an american undergrad degree and have been living here legally and lawfully for past nine years.

Looks like 245(i) cases can be filed in any employment category. Most cases were filed in EB3 and very few in EB2. This is because EB3 category accommodates people with no education and with minimal experience via (i) (ii) and (iii) categories with in EB3.

It seems logical that EB3 was near current until 2005 as all the 245(i) cases were rotting in BEC centers. As BECs started clearing them EB3 got hit. Unfortunately none of us predicted this. There is no efficient way to separate them at 485 stage as they fall under various categories.

Spend some time and read answers for the same question asked by people over and over again.
He want EB2 through employee, not employer.:eek:

Have you tried contacting your local congressman or senator's office? Many times, a request to take action on a pending case from a congressman's office has much better effect than a service request or infopass.

Any idea with whats going on with TSC Processing times, my PD is current Nov' 2003, however do not see any movement in the processing times, 485 applied on Aug 7, 007, any idea when they will publish the new processing times? Any way we can know where we are in the 485 proccess?

Thanks in advance.

Hi
we applied for ap in octoer and the receipt date is oct 24.we have approved H1 .can we go to mexico and have stamping before the ap approves.please suggest me.

Yes you can apply for H-1 stamping anytime. It has nothing to do with AP.

I applied for H1b visa transferred in Nov 08 inspite of not having recent pay stubs. After applying transfer, I started working for new employer.
Last week I got query from USCIS asking my latest pay stubs (Oct 08) and yesterday I got Laid off from my new job after working for 4 months (till Feb 09).

My husband is on L1B visa.
In my case
1. Shall I consider transferring to L2? for this do I need to go to my home country (India) for L2 stamp?
2. If COS to L2 is approved, Can I work on my old H1B again if I find an employer who is ready for transfer?
3. If I travel to my home country(India), will my H1B visa be cancelled? as currently i don't have any H1B approval.
4. Whether the Request For Evidence(REF) on my H1B transfer will have any implication on L2 stamping?

Please help ..

The Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) provides for the admission of different classes of nonimmigrants who are foreign nationals seeking temporary admission to the United States. The purpose of the nonimmigrant�s intended stay in the United States determines his or her proper nonimmigrant classification. Some classifications permit the nonimmigrant�s spouse and qualifying children to accompany the nonimmigrant to the United States or to join the nonimmigrant here. To qualify, a child must be unmarried and under the age of 21.

F-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(F) of the Act, are foreign students coming to the United States to pursue a full course of academic study in SEVP-approved schools. An F-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an F-1 student.

M-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(M) of the Act, are foreign nationals pursuing a full course of study at an SEVP-approved vocational or other recognized nonacademic institution (other than in language training programs) in the United States. An M-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an M-1 student.

SEVP is the DHS program that administers SEVIS. It ensures that government agencies have essential data related to nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors to preserve national security. SEVP provides approval and oversight to schools authorized to enroll F and M nonimmigrant students and gives guidance to both schools and students about the requirements for maintenance of their status.


ICE SEVP I-17 FAQs provide information for schools about SEVP certification, including background on SEVP and SEVIS, SEVP certification basics, an overview of the SEVP certification process, preparing the petition for SEVP certification, and preparing for a site visit.

this looks only for family class is there anything for poor EB class?

Last week i received the letter about my RFE for my I140 which they received on Feb 8, 2007. I'm a EB3 category from Bangladesh.

USCIS requested for the tax information of the company
My W2 for last year and
My Pay Stub....


Is there anything else extra i have the provide. do i have to worry about anything towards my approval or this is just a regular process to go through.

Yes it seems USCIS is also asking the public to help improve its website. It has posted a link on its homepage "Help improve uscis.gov" which was supposed to take you to another page. Unfortunately that link is broken as of now. If you click on it, it takes you to a blank page.

I would say, for starters, how about posting links that actually work????

The Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill introduced in the House of Representatives would revamp the existing employment-based (EB) preference system in a number of important ways: 1) Increase in EB Numbers - The number of employment-based green cards would increase from 140,000 per year to 290,000. 2) Recapture � Currently, 140,000 persons are permitted to immigrate to the U.S. each year under the EB preference system. If less than 140,000 visa numbers are given out by the end of the government�s fiscal year on September 30, the remaining numbers are essentially thrown away. As a result, in most years, 20,000 to...

The proposals are good but amnesty portion is politically impossible.
The "all of nothing" CIR models will remain difficult. Let see if piecemeal comes in
end 2010 (after election) or 2011.

off the top of y head and based on what I've read, a D70 is well worth it, even from a D100. A D2H is now cheap too. With lots of Nikon glass the options are quite good. Even a Kodak SLR/n is a good buy.....

I guess as long as your PD is before july 31, you can apply,

PD is the date labor was applied and not approved. Hence Any approvals from Aug 1 to aug 16 should be fine too...

Since there is a mad rush of i485 applications , USCIS is going to do lottery to select applications for approval.Rest of them will be rejected.


So I bet they will not select YOURS and yours will get rejected!!!!:cool:

1. I need advice as to how to withdraw the I-485 AOS application. I do no have copy of documents/notices that USCIS sent.They are with my wife.
Or
2. If we do work out our differences then is there a way to keep the current AOS alive? Or shall I get the current one withdrawn and file for a new one if we do resolves our differences?
3. Also if I do withdraw the I-485 does it also mean that the I-130 filed by my wife is abandoned/revoked automoatically?

Sorry about your marriage problems. If there is a chance that you might be able to work things out, I suggest rescheduling the 485 interview. If you even have the interview letter, then you should have the receipt number and your A# that can be used to track the file. You can also use these to withdraw the 485 if you need to.

If you do withdraw the 485, it would not automatically revoke the I-130, assuming this is approved. It may not be approved, however.
