The topic already has a thread, but not sure why it won't show up on page 1 even we bumped it up.

http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13537

Has anyone seen this pattern before for any service center? A "processing times" entry missing? Could this be just an accident, or are they sending the I-140's to another service center? This could mean a LOT to people who sent their I-140's and I-485's concurrently to TSC.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I applied for H1B last year and my employer said my application was not selected in lottery. This year a different employer is applying for my H1 and the lawyer today told me that I already have an approval and gave me a receipt no. When I checked its status online, its - 'Approval notice sent on 29th August 2007'.

I wonder how this lawyer is saying this is my approval, eventhough I was told by my employer last year that I didn't made through lottery. And now this lawyer is asking for the copy of that approval which I am not at all aware of. If I knew I already have the approval I wouldn't be applying again this year.

How did this lawyer found out about my approval receipt? Is there a provision for them to check? Will it be illegal if my application goes again, with an existing approval. I have never been to USA.

Please suggest, what should I do.

US Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke, the former Governor of Washington state, was recently speaking to the Washington International Trade Association in his home state had some frank words about the impact visa denials and delays are having on US commerce: As we seek to open up markets for American companies abroad, the United States must also acknowledge that she has room to improve when it comes to increasing the secure flow of goods, services and people across our own borders. In particular, the United States often makes it too difficult for foreign company executives to enter here to do...

Hello Folks,

My H1b is 2 and half years old. I transferred it once, i.e in 2007

My brother has got GC a year ago and started his own company. I am planning to transfer it to him.

I have these following questions.
1. What is the risk on transferring my H1 to a new/small company in this recession period, and the employee strength is just one (my brother).
2. Is it ok to transfer more than one time in short period(i.e in 2 years span)?
3. Also, is it acceptable to stay outside US for couple of months on H1 status with out payroll? Will that be a problem at POE when i return to US?
4) Right now i am out of the project (on bench), so will that be any risk of my H1 transfer getting denied ?

Please help!

Best Regards,
Ravi

Hello Gurus,
Can we apply for H1 if our I-485 is pending while the current status is L1.

The reason I am asking is I-485 is itself a COS and if we apply H1 while on L1 it is again an COS petition from L1 to H1. So what happens to the I-485 application?:confused:

Will there be any impact or no impact at all?:mad:

Is there an option to apply without asking for COS when applying H1 with the current status as L1.:confused:

Please help with your views....

Last year, employers submitted so many H-1B petitions, the USCIS had to pick the winners by lottery. This year, seven months after the opening of the filing season that started on April 1st, the H-1B cap has yet to be reached. However, the numbers may not last long. During the first week of April, the USCIS received almost enough H-1B petitions to fill the 20,000 cap for persons with advanced degrees, but only 43,000 petitions against the 65,000 general cap. Over four months later, only 2,000 more H-1B petitions had been approved. Why so few? It's the economy, stupid! But...

Anyone has any idea?

I have approved I140 (EB3, PD:Nov'04) from previous employer; after getting my MBA (Jun'06), I have changed the job and my job description has also changed. New employer will file the labor after 3 months (HR Policy)..I have good relations with previous employer, they are ready to file I485. Is it possible to file I485(previous employer), while I am working with new employer?

I am not sure but I came to know (not reliable source), that it is possible to file I485(previous employer) and during the interview, I can submit a support letter from the new employer. is this correct?

Requesting your help..so near...but so far!!!!!

HI All,

I have 3 questions

1)what should be the time period between the Job switch from one employer to another after 6 months of filing of I-485.(AC-21)

2)Is it required to be employed until i get my actual GC ?

3) I am in the period of AC-21 (i.e 180 days completed after my I-485 filing)
If I marry to GC holder . Do i still have to maintain my independent status of I-485 or i can be given some status because of marrying to him..

-Vandu



Thanks for the help!

what they are telling me is that the ad is very general for EB2 which was sent out even before one joined the company. so my question would be that can a person go ahead and use the already sent out ads or one should raise some red falgs, not to go for it ???

Fill 131 form, attach a cover letter and AP - you dont need to include the fee as it is a USCIS mistake. Call USCIS 800 number or take infopass appointment before you refile.

Does any one know what is the process if we get wrong name in AP.? as I did get spelling mistake by uscis.

What a piece of work from the man who warned us about death panels in the health care bill. His grasp of the facts don't seem to be much better when it comes to USCIS' enforcement of H-1B rules. From this letter, you would think USCIS is sitting around eating bon bons and not engaged in one of the most serious crackdowns in the H-1B program in decades. Most immigration lawyers who saw this memo today are probably scratching their heads because they've recently gotten requests for evidence asking for exactly the kind of documentation Grassley complains USCIS is not...

Yesterday I received email that card production ordered and today it says I have to go through some ADIT processing. Does this mean that they require some additional documents for processing or verification. The exact message is as below...

"On August 6, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before receiving your card, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

During this step the formal decision (approved/denied) is written and the decision notice is mailed and/or emailed to the applicant/petitioner. You can use our current processing time to gauge when you can expect to receive a final decision.
"

Can anyone please tell me what this means.

Thanks in advance..

Opponents of health care reform efforts have accused the President and Democrats in Congress of including millions of illegally present immigrants in proposals to expand health insurance coverage. Whether one thinks that including such individuals is good or bad, the fact is that only lawfully present immigrants will be eligible for inclusion in the various proposals being considered in Congress. Think Progress explains in a piece refuting erroneous reporting on Lou Dobbs show (surprised?). When you hear figures like 97% of people will be covered under the broadest plans, the 3% they're talking about leaving out are undocumented immigrants.

This shouldn't be a problem provided that she has the AP when she is leaving. AOS applicants don't need to be in the US while the AOS is pending, except to go to fingerprint appointments, interviews, etc. They must be in the US when the AOS is filed, and need to be careful to always have AP before leaving, but a 3-month gap should not be a problem.

i now finished school and I have a course completion letter from the school but I ma formally taking the walk in May.So i don't have an official degree yet.
I have to apply for a H1B visa Could I apply for a H1B on a masters quota with the course completion letter .I have heard yes but I needed confirmation with respect to this.
And If I don't get a H1B visa will my application slide to the Bachelors quota automatically(does this depend on the course completion letter that I have submitted?)??
My other doubt being since my company is not e verified what are my other options if I dont get a H1B visa???
Could you please throw light on all these matters?? I would be obliged if i can understand the answers to all these queries.
