Hi,
I am one of many people here waiting for the date to be able to apply for I-485 because of visa retrogression. I have 3 more H-1 years so I am considering changing a job in category EB2 so the process can be faster (my PD is Jan 2004 with approved I-140). My question is whether this position below can be considered in EB2 or not. To my knowledge on Eb2, it must be more than 5 years experience with BS or MS. I have a MS, but my work experience in US is total 4 years 4 months (intern 10 months in US during MS + 11 months with OPT after MS + 2yrs6months with H-1B).

This is just a part of the job description:

- BS Degree plus 3-5 Yrs experience or MS Degree plus 2 Yrs experience.

Thanks.

As far as I know, EB2 is advanced degree OR 5+ yrs experience. I have less than 1 yr experience, but my firm is plans on filing my application in EB-2.

I am July 2 filer. My EAD and AP was filed later in August. I got my EAD and AP receipts but I am yet to get I-485 receipt. Has this happened to anybody else? Is it possible to get 485 case number from the EAD or AP case numbers?

Same here, filed for EAD/AP in August and got the receipts from NSC. But no receipts yet for 485 filed on July 11 at NSC. Where did you file your 485 and EAD/AP?

Lets get statistics on numbers on pending I-485 application for EB2-India by year of PD.

My PD is Aug 06 .. post yours :-)

good..poll...I hope every one votes..

{ Gave you a green }

Be doubly sure that this is a standard response for SR or otherwise from USCIS. Customer service says the same. Sometimes infopass too.

Congrats! vempati...

Guys, any update on receipts whose I-140 is approved at NSC and (R.MICKELS, 9:01, July 2nd)... I am still waiting on mine...

is there anyway USCIS would find out that this person changed jobs within 180 days of 485 filing when he or she applies for H1 transfer? and then that could result in 485 denial?

"Document mailed to applicant" can mean anything.For me it was a call for finger printing (second time). Uscis (or IBM) was lazy to create different status messages and that's causing a lot of confusion. Check with your lawyer to see if you recieved any intimation from USCIS recently.

Per RFE for I485 they want the proof of Employment Authorization in US starting 12th April 2004 to present.

I was going thru my all the I-797 approvals for myself and I found that there is a discontinuity in one of the old approval notice.


WAC-01-XXX-XXXXX 07/15/2001 - 04/05/2004
WAC-04- XXX-XXXXX 04/30/2004 - 01/18/2005 (This approval start after 25 days)

But the extension petition was filed prior to expiration of WAC-01-XXX-XXXXX on 17th Dec. 2003. Approval notice has the receive date of 17th Dec 2003.

Could this gap be a issue, That is why they are asking starting 12th April 2004?

Per my Lawyer, no need to worry because the extension petition was filed before the expiration of other.

Please advice.

I had similar issue where H4 had 7 days of gap.. H1 had full continuity... I think it may be an issue if H1 has a gap...

Also, since the H4 in my case was applied & approved before the gap period.. per my lawyer its perfectly okay... This happens mostly as USCIS cannnot issue H4 with different start date from H1 if filed together...

Looks like yous is H1... So, probably you need to provide copy of 2nd H1 which was received/approved by USCIS before gap start date.. So you may be okay.. Or worst case it may be counted towards 180 days of out of status allowed...

But you must check with lawyer...

A # mentioned in the I-140 appoval notice is the one you should use. Sam, don't confuse the folks here by giving mis leading info.

Hi,

Can anyone share experience applied for PIO at CGI Houston ? I am planning to apply for PIO for my son. Can you please suggest what are the documents needed ?

Thanks !

Take duplicate copies of the form. Take your and spouse passports with one copy each. Both you and your spouse needs to sign the form. CGI Houston does not takes the Check so carry the cash.

IV makes a public announcement of its advisory board today. These advisors have been associated with Immigrationvoice for quite some time and we have decided to make the names public after they gave us permission to make their information public. Some more names will be announced in the near future if others associated with IV agree. These are top leaders in administration, industry, research and advocacy. We have been happy and fortunate to have them with Immigration Voice. We thank all IV members for supporting IV due to which we could make IV a nationally respected organization and a voice of legal high-skilled community. Its time for us now to work together and achieve our goals.

If it was received but no checks cashed yet, I would re-file.

I did tell the first CS that it was more than 90 days and to the second I/O ,I mentioned that it was July 2nd.She asked me whether the checks were cashed and I said no. Then she asked for my full name , dob and ssn and gave me the receipts info. I/O was very patient and verified my address to make sure everything was right.
The receipts start with LIN (Nebraska)

If your wife has gotten fp notice, then try to go along with her on the scheduled date and time, they could take yours too, provided you get the notice before the day on which her fp is scheduled.
its so weird, Oh USCIS have mercy on us. go IV

I am another one in the same situation.

So, the bottom portion of you H1 approval notice (I-797) does not have an I-94 ?

If not, then doing it in Canada for the first H1 can be a big gamble.

Your previous thread, you narrate the incident. You are pleaded guilty in the court. But now you are saying the court dismiss because unintentional stealing.
Which is correct ???
You are stealing/swallowing your own words ??? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SEE YOUR PREVIOUS THREAD.

Hi there,
I have been arrested for shoplifting. Finger printed,and produced in court. The case has been dismissed as I did not do it on purpose. I got the document from the court that case is DISMISSED. 1. Is it good to do the "Case Expungement"?
2. Does the port of entry officer sees the arrest even I expunge the case?
3. any other scenarios I might encounter?
Any suggestions are highly appreciated
Thank you

Please let me know.. This is urgent for me right now.
Thank you all.

Hi Arvin_H1,

I have an MS degree in Materials Science & Engg, but work in IT. My 1st H1 transfer was denied, but the 2nd time it was approved with lesser documentation. Although I feel I am qualified in my capacity, of course I am very Thankful & Grateful (for now, I still have a long ways to go :p) Go figure, that is USCIS!! PM me if I can try help you further. Don't worry, there is always hope.

wandmaker is absolutely correct, the I-94 date is critical. PM us for further clarification.
