Wish Good:

Did you or your attorney file a Motion to Reopen the USCIS denial? If not, then it looks like USCIS decided to reopen the denial on their own motion. Of course there is also the possibility that it is a mistake in the case status. Your local USCIS office might be able to tell you more with an Infopass appointment, but if the file is pending at one of the Service Centers they might not be able to tell you more. It will depend on what the officer put in the USCIS computer system. Without more information that is the most I can tell you.

First of all, you cannot be out of status while I-485 is pending. Your H1 status is expired so technically you do not have H1 status anymore. However, if extension is approved, it will apply retroactively and make your H1 status current as of Feb 7th. Oh, forgot to mention that you can still work for 240 days after H1 is expired and it will not be counted as status violation.

Hi , is the limit for 240 days only or TILL we get the approval ?. What do we need to after 240 days ?. Thanks.

Shilpa Ghodgaonkar has rightly summarized probelms of skilled professionals waiting for their green cards.

Thnaks to IV & Shilpa Ghodgaonkar for great efforts to bring the attention of law makers to our problems.

Names of audience is impressive, I am hopeful this effort will help on going efforts to bring relief.

Great job.

I believe, you dont have choice but to go with EB3 of the new company. That way, you will still be in US and EB3 (India) is not going to be bad going forward as it crossed major hurdle of April'01. With April 08 bulletin, everyone learned that unused visas flow into different categories. So pretty soon, EB3 ROW will be current and there wouldnt be many people to use all of them. They will flow into EB3 India.


I needed some advice on this situation I've found myself in.

I have a PERM application filed with my current employer (EB2, Oct 2007). Like most EB2 apps, mine is under a business necessity audit and we have filed an audit response for it. My lawyers are pretty sure that we will clear the audit. Guessing from , the response may be 2-3 months away.

Now I have a second offer from another company. Everything about the job and company is better than my current, but the legal team at this second company says that they will only file in EB3 (even though the job requirement says Bachelors + 8 yrs). They say that they have other EB2 audits going on and have made it a policy to only do EB3 going forward.

I'm on the 5th year of my H1 (don't ask, had a PD of 2005, caught up in BEC and got laid off last May) and this probably will be the last chance for me to change jobs before I cool my heels and wait for the repercussions of the July Fiasco to be over with.

I can't decide of weather to keep my existing EB2 job or take the new offer and step down to EB3.

Please help!

In response to a previous question, I am from Hong Kong SAR, and I have never applied for labor cert. I have been on H1B visa my entire time.

Thanks!

Hi,
I entered US using AP on Feb 27 09. My current AP is valid till 17th Oct 09. The date on my I-94 Feb 26 2010. The parole stamp on my passport also has the Feb 26 2010 date. What does the date on the I-94 and parole stamp mean
My question is if I go out of US in early October and want to come back after October 17th (AP expiry date) but before Feb 26 2010 (I-94 date) do I need a new/renewed AP, or can I enter US with my old AP since my parole stamp has Feb 26 date.

Thanks

we've asked for changes which require laws/amendments to be enacted.This has so far, not got us anywhere. What about asking for more liberal interpretations of the present laws? This can be done with something as simple as a memo sent by USCIS director. What can we ask for-
1) Portability for all cases where I - 140 is approved for 180 days, and the co. is unable to file for 485 because of retrogression.
2) ability to maintain priority dates incase labor is filed for more than 365 days and the employee is forced to change jobs - even though the i 140 is not approved because of delays at the BPCs
3) I guess asking for an EAD incase I-140 is approved for 180 days will be too much?

looks like she found out that the higher fees were only going to be used to hike the salary of executives at USCIS and not for increasing their efficiency....

Hi,

I think you should be fine. Like everyone tells...in such case an attorney is the best person to contact. Take a second opinion also. If you need something before that to calm you down...here is what I think. You are only counted towards the cap once in 6 years. So you can get another h-1 with a new company based on this approval and you are not subject to cap this time. You need to be employed once your h-1 starts. So you have time till then.

and your question is?

how can she get a Green Card..

Anyone?

Hi,
I have been in this too long and want to decide if it makes any sense fighting anymore and anticipating the cards. Any advice is greatly appreciated

I contacted the Senators office and the rep there made a query to USICS> this is the response she got.

�This case is currently in an extended security review area."

She then tried to contact this area and the Officer advised that it cannot be released at this time. The Service is aware that there is a visa available, however, since it is still being reviewed for security issues it cannot be released at this time

Any Advise?

-Thanks

I updated my profile with the information I know.

Latest article says Protests pay off.

Way to go IV!!!!

My Roommate had attended the HYD consulate on Dec 1st and he took tons of documents with him

At the interview the officer asked to show

Last 1 year paystubs
Asked if he works for a client and had any middle vendor
Client letter
Vendor letter
Agreements between vendor and employer (Asked if he had but did not ask to show)
Asked if the employer started GC processing (He is in 7th year of H1)

He got the stamp successfully.

I am also from MN. Living in Minnetonka. Willing to know anyone going for Rally.

many are going! we are planning a bus....

please join the chapter- click on the link below and provide all the info requested- we will be delighted to include you in our plans!

Dean- i need contact info for you as well- please.

Does it mean that the full case will be covered in 15 days or till the query is send if any... Hope i am being clear..
What my concern is after the query is send and replied, still the 15 day limit stays or it loses that and goes back to the normal processing.

Thankyou

Hi,

I mom is from Nepal and Dad from India. Marriages between India and nepal is very common in my place, as we are border state. even my brother is married to nepali citizen and we have all my maternal family in Nepal.

I was born in Nepal, but my parents never thought that getting nepali passport would matter, as we were in India. On passport and other documents my I put India as my birth place and no one ever asked for proof of birth place in India back then.
Now for GC, i would need proof of birth( which i have, but from nepal) and that doesnt match my passport.

Would it be advisable to correct my place of birth in Indian passport and all the records now? Can I have "nepal" as my place of birth in indian passport? Will be be still considered Indian citizen?

How does all this affect my GC process? Any unseen dangers/after affects/side effects. please give your suggestions.

You can have place of birth as Nepal and you would come under Nepal for GC Chargeability. So you dont have to wait the long Indian line.
