Lying on the table.... End of discussion.

Before this discussion thread grows bigger and hopes get inflated, I thought I should quote logiclife's post on "Order to Lie on the Table", that was discussed sometime ago for a different amendment. Enjoy the logic and humor.

Thanks to all for their prompt reply on my situation. I am in NJ/NY area. And considering short term course during the period of Jun 2008 to October 2008. Which is almost 3 months. Any one have any idea if any kaplan center or community college provide courses or I20 in summer session?

Getting job in university and some non profit organization is another good option. If we consider that, we can apply for H1 anytime? Please advise some more in this option.

Yes marriage is another option, but only 50% is in my hand for this option.

Please please guys, get me some way out of this situation.

Oh, since my H1 has been denied, can I file for 'Motion to ReOpen'? How long USCIS take to decide on MTR and what are my chances there.

The best option for you is go back to a community college to bridge the gap. Motion to reopen will take a long time.

Logiclife i have sent you a PM if you want to discuss this offline let me know.

Thanks for the clarification though. Does Vbulletin have 2 seperate tables one for threads and one for messages. That is the structure that another forums software that we used had. If you have a messages and threads table seperately then maybe you can sort it simply by messageID (the primary key in the messages table). Since that column is a PK, it is already indexed and hence automatically faster

Friends

Please update how long it takes for PBEC approval notice to come in mail.My online status still shows in process

1. You can ask them for H1 transfer and AC21 portability of your existing EB3 GC Process.
2. You can also ask them for doing EB2 processing, some employers have policy that they will do it after 6-12 months but you should do it before joining so that they can analyze if position suits EB2 needs.

And both of the above should be done before joining a new employer because before joining you are in better bargaining position provided you rocked the interviews.


Thank you my_gc_wait.

Regarding response #1 and your comment about AC21 portability, there isn't anything the employer has to do, correct? I believe, if the new job requirements is same or similar, there should be no problem with AC21.

Also, what can I request from the employer other than the job advertisement itself as evidence to make sure the position suits EB2 requirements.

Regarding first point,
I would also submit marriage ceremony pictures (if you have them) along with marriage certificate (notarize the photocopy), assuming it is in English, else get it translated with affidavit and again notarize the copy. Sending Birth certificate copy along with above might be a + .

I will not recommend Marriage Pics. I would say supplimental documentation like Joint Income Tax return, Lease Papers for Apartment, Insurance papers will be better than marriage picture. But then there is no harm in sending them as well. Perhaps can provide some entertainment to IO who might be bored looking at documents all the time.

Here is the link with the clarification released on Jun 6th By Michael Aytes, Astt Director of USCIS regarding Non Cap h1B's



http://149.101.23.2/graphics/lawsregs/handbook/AC21C060606.pdf

These roles qualify for non cap H1B's



* Renewals of existing H1b's

* If are working for a not for profit institution

* If you are working for a institute of higher education ( as defined by the US education act of 1964, institutes like 2 yr and 4 year colleges and some high schools which have teacher education programs with schools of education in these colleges) or a government research institution or a company associated with the above institutions where the primary objective of the company is to supplement the mission of the institutions, example would be a company providing research assistants to a reseach medical hospital. In this case the company is not cap exempt but the job involves the institution that is cap exempt.



What kind of institution will your wife be a financial analyst in?


I am not an attorney, pls consult an attorney regarding your specific case. Hope this information helps.

My friend tried to get his brother. his brother is working in some IT company in india. The visa officer asked only one question

Visa officer: Whats your Age?
my friends brother: 26
Visa officer: sorry , visa cant be issued.. rejected.

No more questions and no more answers

Go to maxico but getting visa of Mexico from US is difficult on B1/B2. Canadian visa for her on B1/B2 visa is impossible. Check and call other near by countries visa consulate as well as US consular visa officer for the availibility of dates of H4 visa interview.
Hope you will find the solution.

why will it retrogate again? we will see forward movement. be +ve and optimistic.:)

Agreed! Let's think positive that it will move forward.

I always thought that i would never have this problem, i spent time worry about PD being current, medicals, certificates and the rest, i have a normal name/country etc, no history, no parking tickets etc. Most of the people are just like me, they never think they will face this issue, and end up getting stuck. As the report mentions there is a lack of funding and resources.

BTW mallu, if they are watching you, just go and talk to them...tell them to clear your file, it will save them some time and ease our pain too :D



no the point is, CHECKING itself is taking 2-3 years. Why would they start keeping a watch on someone if he/she is not a suspect? There are literally millions of pending applications, they cant keep a watch on everyone.
The reason for slow name checks was discussed earlier somewhere (Ombudsmans report?): lack of resources and interest on the FBI side of things.

I really wish , i could file my 485 in 2 years, If not i am moving to UK.
Another question , being a junior i have, How does IV use our donations to compel USCIS/DOS to do things in favour of LEGAL IMMIGRANTS?

Concurrent H-1Bs are always non-cap.:)

Hand in all I-94 that are in your possession since last entry in to US.

You checked it.... now I am just spamming :P

SPAM

::::runs away:::

I believe u can apply ur own H4. because u have the H1 approval from ur spouse. just download form from uscis website. there is complete instruction over there.

Thx

Thanks! But if I apply for my own H4, I would require my copy of I797 and the I94 attached to that. My employer doesnt provide me with the copy of those. Would the documents from my husband good enough to apply in US?

How come a bill which talks about " ....authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2008 for military activities of the Department of Defense......" can link an amendment which talks about different thing i.e. "..Recapture of Unused Employment-Based Immigrant Visas..."



Hey Guys/ Gals

Senator CORNYN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 1585, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2008 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense activiites of the Department of Energy, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table

Highlights:
a) Recapture of Unused Employment-Based Immigrant Visas

b)Worldwide Level of Employment-Based Immigrants.--The worldwide level of employment-based immigrants under this subsection for a fiscal year is equal to the sum of--

``(1) 290,000; and

c) Retaining Immigrants Who Have Been Educated in the United States

This is my first time $200 contribution for this great organization. Keep up the good work guys!!

I am pretty sure these are people have come here to disrupt the forum or else who does not know about Sheila Murthy. It is just my observation that earlier all the questions were related to genuine issues and were answered as best as members knew. Recently a lot of people have joined in who have brought in negative energy, are abusive, are doubting IV, trying to create doubts in others minds, come to have fun or joke around, trying to prove that IV is a free for all forum and they can say what they want to say. All this was never there earlier. I think administrators should look into the same. IV is there to answer immigration problems and issues. People blame lawyers for not updating their websites or not informing clients unless an official news has come out but when IV came out with announcements before the news is official - all the new comers have done is mud slinging IV.

Be thankful there is a IV.

When do you think a person with PD of Nov 2007 ,EB3 from India, would be able to file for 485??

If each and every registered member supports IV with money, time or both then you will be able to file in 3/4 years otherwise 2025. Contributing money is most important task to start with

Paper filed to TSC and my 485 is pending at NSC
PD: EB3 Dec 2002

EAD sent to TSC on July 10th
RD: Jul 11th
ND: Jul13th

EAD expiring on Oct 3rd.So my countdown started.

This is scary man...
