Can that flyer / poster be made available to other here?

I was thinkining of posting it in indian stores etc...

alright fresh from this incident. my mother had 10 yr tourist visa expiring in 3 months after her travel date. in the old days it was recommended that you have at least 6 month visa validity when entering US for immigration purposes. Following that guideline she applied for a new tourist visa of course referring the current one on passport. While during her interview they didn't ask her any questions and told her that its a go. Her application got stuck in security verification which triggered due to the fact that she already had a valid visa. Upon researching further I found out you are safe to travel even a day before your visa is expiring because once you enter the country your stay is based on I-94 validity and not your visa. Hope this helps.

:D Congrats dude!

Sathya sai baba ???? You haven't known about his deeds, if you can find it read about great magician PC Sircar meeting him about 15 years ago. This is what PC said about him.
"he's no godman, he's just a magician, not even a good magician, he should practice more".

One of my ex-colleagues got his GC approved out of turn last year itself. He was EB3 - PD November 2005. They approved it for him, his wife and his two kids! He is a big devotee of Sathya Sai Baba and I think he certainly got his blessings on this one..!

EVL = Employment Verification Letter

Usually the employer provides a letter on their letter head that the person is currently employed with them as XYZ. I usually get one before traveling outside US so that I can show it to IO in case they ask for it as proof of continued employment.

I dont think you can extend ur H1b once it has expired.

So just stay on your EAD.

I do remember that i had to re-file the I-9 tax form with my employer once i moved to the EAD. So do the same with your HR.

sorry mine has not cleared I wrongly clicked. Please discard that vote. I apologize for this.

You can have 2 different applications for PERM from different prospective employers. It is just like filing for 2 different H1-B visas.

I believe, typically you apply for I-485 with one employer. So until then having multiple PERM or I-140 should be OK.

I do not have any personal experience with multiple filing.

The name of the lawyer we have talked to before is Joe Hohenstein.

It is a bit early. No checks will be cleared except the legal fee checks. :)

It's not going anywhere. And I don't think it will go anywhere. They have never mentioned it being discussed or voted.


Does anyone know what is going on with Sen Cantwell's amendment (1249) that was favorable to high skilled immigration?

D. JULY EMPLOYMENT-BASED VISA AVAILABILITY

After consulting with Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Visa Office advises readers that Visa Bulletin #107 (dated June 12) should be relied upon as the current July Visa Bulletin for purposes of determining Employment visa number availability, and that Visa Bulletin #108 (dated July 2) is hereby withdrawn.

Thanks sbmallik

If I was already on H1B right now, I know I would be able to extend my H1B visa until I get my green card. But, right now, I am on TN visa. And also I have finished the 6 years quota on H1B. So, I was just wondering if I can apply again for H1B. I have been on TN visa for about a year and half. I was just wondering, the fact that I haven't been on H1B visa for more than a year, would qualify me again to apply for H1B.

Thanks again!!

My new EB2 140 is approved with new date, so I sent following email to EBupdate.tsc@dhs.gov on 05/18 and my case is approved on 05/25. You don't have to wait until new I-140 is ported with old 140 date, the following email worked for me.

In the subject line, put : I-485 Multiple I-140s

Body of the email :

W... For regular applications, they don't even have a column asking for any valid reason.

Right. The Initial Evidence section of the I-131 form. Under section I part C 1 b. on page 4 (page 4 in PDF, page 3 printed on that doc) does mention this:

An explanation or other evidence showing the circumstances that warrant issuance of an advance parole document; or

but the very next line is that the alternative to this is a copy of the USCIS receipt of your 485. So just USCIS receipt (or even receipt number) should be good enough for us (or if you filed all three together, dont even need that).

Anyway to OP: ask your lawyer to apply, you should not face any problems getting it.

Hello Atul

I agree only crying baby gets milk.
But only lucky applicants get green card :). Its not based on eligibility alone.
Now about protests and demonstrations. I dont think it will work in the US for a myriad of reasons.

I think every year about 30K or more people are coming from India
on H1B. I think half of them apply for GC. At least 200K Indian nationals
alone waiting in the line for GC. Why IV has only 5k? We should have atlease 50K members.

A working plan would be get atleast 100K people to our organization and have everybody contribute $100. That would give us $10Million. We can hire top people and companies to get it done. And donate big funds to these politician.

What I told is just a dream. Most of us here are free riders. In my company there are 5 people who are affected. I'm the only who checks regulary this site. I have to tell them again and again and again to send a fax or donate.
So what to do?

thanks
babu


Why only 5k and why only less contribute ? This time there is a membership drive, all need sincerely try increase membership of the forum.

Raj,

SR can be opened by company HR or lawyer if the service center processing time exceeds your receipt date by more than 30 days.

As sunny said, when NSC moves their processing time to more than 21st Jan 2007 ( I assume ur RD is 21st DEC and EB3)...your lawyer can call the normal 1800...number and raise a SR.

it's a simple process and lawyer should be knowing how to handle this.

I see people getting decisions within 30-45 days after SR.

Mine came in about 27 days.

let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

"class of admission" -when you enter USA last time what class POE officer admitted you. This can be different from your "current status-H1B". Therefore you should write F1.

There is no fee difference for single entry & multiple entry.

Pending AOS or 485 is a type of legal status. It also allows you to apply for additional work and travel privileges as long as the underlying 485 remains pending. If you choose not to avail yourself of those benefits that that is up to you. You would end up in trouble only if you violate that by then working or travelling (absent the USCIS permission through EAD or AP). As long as you just sit there and especially if you are a derivative beneficiary, there is no problem.
That said, many people choose to get EAD/AP in hand in case an employment opportunity or an emergency need for travel comes up. Remember an EAD/AP application may take up to 3mths to get approved.

I got mine using EAD last year at Baytown, TX - I would say, it is one of the coolest DPS in Houston. All they need is your EAD and old license.

The license would state that you are a temporary visitor and your status expires the day your EAD expires. Around the EAd expiry time, you get a notice that your drivers license will be invalid if you do not update the DPS with your new status information.

I got greened in September, but still using the same old license as it is valid till September 2011.

Should the passport be valid for more than 6 months for applying I 485.

If somebody can answer that would begreat



I called my attorney this morning he confirmed passport need not be valid for more than 6 months.he mentioned that I can apply for passport renewal at a later date
