I don't understand ur reply. I haven't asked question of maintaining legal status. I am maintaining legal status. My question is very simple.
What documents are required for COS from H1 to H4?
Where is this question of maintaining legal status coming from?

I may not be able to answer your question directly, but I faced the same dilemma about wife's H1. I got her H1 changed to H4 by applying I-539. This process is very easy and it too my wife 2 months to get the approval.

If you are going out of country and try to re-enter US, with COS, it may not be an easy thing right now. It is getting tough these days, since it involves Visa stamp as well and they might ask too many documents from you and your husband. Even though you guys are legal and have got all documents, still it might be a trouble.

My opinion would be to apply for I-539 and after that reciept, you don't have to work. You will get approval much easier (H1 to H4) compared to H1 to H1 transfer.

Come to DC or we will send "Churi Chikkanna" after you...LOL

Not exactly sure who Churi Chikkanna is, but we will definitely recruit him/her and send him after anyone who does not attend the rally!!!

Only kidding of course

SERIOUSLY GUYS THIS IS THE TIME TO ACT! EVERYONE TO WASHINGTON!!! ALREADY MANY PEOPLE CHANGED THEIR MINDS AND DECIDED TO ATTEND!!! WHAT IS STOPPING YOU??? TELL US AND WE'LL HELP YOU IN ANY WAY (EVEN WITH TRAVEL MONEY) SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT!!!!

Great concert shots Antonio. The exposure levels and color balance/saturation are perfecto! Bravo!

we sent 3 seperate checks for each family member

Shouldnt the title include petitions filed by one particular law firm:
'Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy LLP' ??
(its a little misleading & intimidating to know 'ALL' applications)

What you are saying may be logically correct, but USCIS needs the proof on paper. USCIS needs I-140 approval notice to give you 3-year H1B extension. You can try without that, but not gauranteed anything. Same with I-140 applying also, they need original copy of labour approval to file I-140. USCIS has proper application rejection procedures for all this. May be they are not having proper Approval procedures, but they do have proper Rejection procedures depending on documents required to file something.

So finally, you have to get I-140 approval notice, otherwise they won't grant 3-year H1B extension.

I do not see any reason why uscis cannot give 3 year extension with ONLY 485 receipt and I-140 case number printout. With these, USCIS should be able to determine the priority dates and whether the person is retrogressed or not.
An actual case would be helpful.

I agree this crappy bill better not pass and is worse than retrogression. It is screwing everyone at the cost of giving amnesty to illegals. It is such a joke I would have never imagined that they would have the balls to do this, but I guess they are all politicians!!!
It would take 10 years for Illegals to get citizenship under this bill and get voting rights.

But it looks like the exisiting latino group has promised vote to democratic candidate in 2009 for President. And so this bill is so much for illegals. We educated even if become citizen will take a educated decision on who should we vote. So they are screwing us. Politics!

i like the 4th one of the percussionist but my favorite is the last one for some reason. have you photographed concerts before? these are pretty good.

btw, my heart skipped a beat seeing the title!! :) :D
The title gives the impression that EB3 - India is Current! Appropriate title could have been "My EB3-India petition is current"

Thanks. But GC still sucks because of the long process. Good Luck to everyone.

PD - 04/2002
EB3 - ROW
I-485 RD - 03/2007
I-485 AD - 09/2007

Congrats. So you are an old timer, with PD 2002. (Being from ROW) you luckily escaped the name check torture.

I am also a relatively old timer ( PD Nov. 2002 ). Unfortunately stuck in namecheck since Aug.2006. My fellow Indians say , i can just sit like this for another 2 - 3 years in name check :-(

yeah i like the fotter too! the grass looks cool. U do it in ps?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a TN-Visa ?

Other than having to get 1 year visa by visiting the border every 1 year what is the difference b/n this and a GC ?

Yes, you have to submit your papers at least 5 business days I think before your interview date. It is a requirement for the Mumbai consulate. Mumbai consulate is like my second home :(.
Question.
When I check the website I see this Step 4:
Does this mean that I first need to pass the documents to the application centre and only then after 3 days can I go to the embassy?
Can't I just get the date and go to the embassy direct?

They will have to apply at the consulate wherever they came from and undergo an interview to get the visa put in their passport. Then they can enter with that visa in place. If their entry is on record which it could well be a flag may be raised as to the reason for their recent entry on the visa waiver program.

Are interviews instant or do you typically have to wait for a date? A petition approval is not an approval to work, correct? Sorry, I am just learning the process. Is there a link on here that shows how it should be done?

BTW, this person was here on an L1 for another company up until December 07 in US, went home for vacation for a month, sent in paperwork for L1A under new company since current visa lapsed, came back early to US on VW(green form) and then waited here for his new L1 petition to approve - while working. He thinks that this is ok. :eek:


Thanks again!

Any Idea , which section of 9089 Form we need to look for the position/designation/title our company applied for? Is it F.3 or H.3? here is the 9089 form http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/pdf/9089form.pdf

Even I am in the same Boat, but i believe we do not have to worry about this, this is what I found it in murthy.com when I googled for it couple of weeks back ..

If an I-140 is pending at the time that the company changes, according to the CSC, "no action is required" until the completion of the I-140 stage. Evidence of the "bona fides" of the Successor should be submitted at the time of filing the I-485 application

The CSC will allow applicants to supplement the file on an existing I-485 by submitting evidence of the "bona fides" of the Successor that shows that the same position and compensation, etc. are still offered. The CSC has confirmed will not require re-filing of the I-140 or the I-485.

In order to avoid having such evidence routed through the correspondence process, the attorney should clearly establish on the cover letter that attached documents are for consideration in connection with a pending I-485 application, based on CSC/AILA concurrence and make clear reference to the I-485 Receipt number

Yes, they take all copies - SSN, I797, passport everytime the license has to be renewed. More frustrating thing is they only issue a paper license which is valid only for 30 days and the card is mailed in 3-4 weeks from Tallahassee (State capital) after they perform immigration & background check. This paper license can't be used for ID purposes.

The 30-day paper license thing has been there since 2002, when I first applied. The "Temporary" label came I think about one and a half to two years back.

If you can take direct non-stop flight then avoid the transit visa. Sending originals by mail is always risky. Just my advise.

Hi,

Hi All,
Recently I received an RFE on my Wife's 485 application asking to prove that we both are still married. My lawyer is asking for around $400 to respond to this RFE, We have already paid the lawyer about $7500 until now for our GC process and she is no longer the preferred lawyer for the company that I am working for, but I had to keep my case with her as she has processed all of my applications until now. My questions are:
1. Can we ourselves respond to the RFE and save the $400.00,
2. If so, What's the process and what documents that we need to send to prove that we are still married.

Appreciate all of your help in this regard.

Thanks
