FIFO - FirstInFirstOut & LIFO - LastInFirstOut

Folks at USCIS follow a random method ie AIAO - AnytimeInAnytimeOut.

Enjoy the wait!

CP Filed at Mumbai Embassy - India
PD: Oct 2003


I would suggest to start a separate thread to know who are CP filers in the forum and then we can have a conf with IV to discuss what needs to be done. We can also send the private message to each to share our contact info.

They would have been happy with their half loaf.

Apology accepted and now i ask you to contribute for DC rally.....will you do that?

Even am not a pro, i joined IV just couple of months back, but i never opened a thread for simple questions. I am not bashing you here....i am trying to educate you on this.....when we have something to ask we should look for appropriate thread and then post it there.

I got my checks cashed on aug 1st, but i didn't opened a thread to tell everyone that, but i have seen people whoever got receipt they opened a new thread.

Libra-

I apologize for upsetting you- I am not a pro at this just joined yesterday- can you give me a break? Next time I will send you a note to see where you think I should post....

Last time CIR had sweet deal for Illegals ..
Pay $100 and get Z visa ( Work Permit ) .. --> GC --> Citizenship ---> Vote for ?? ..

For Legals ...go back and restart in new queue .. We dont want to skilled people be free of our companies. We expect you to be enslaved ..We are leader of Free world.

How can a New queue or a point system can be affecting us (EB) ? If it is like other contries where they have the point system for immigration, a job in hand/education/number of years lived in the country/ etc etc, everything should be in favour of the EB's, right? Also, if you know definetly when you will get a GC, rather than indefinite wait will help so many people in making the decision. I think here, the most frustrating thing is not knowing when you will get it, rather than waiting years and years..

Could you update your profile?

Pa** may be denigratory in England, but to me, its like saying "desi". Is "desi" denigratory too? I was just guiding our friend to forums that might be able to help him better. Im sorry if any offence was taken.
Kind regards

I would suggest councillor processing they're higher in the order than the counselor. But Do not try the consular processing because it's too hard to google it

I got the 140 denial notice.
The USCIS did not mentioned any reason like my valid labour is expired.Not sure is the denial is because of 180 day rule or not.

Here is the reason...

The petitioner did not submit an individual labour certification for the beneficiary or evidence of schedule A designation.As such, the beneficiary is ineligible for classification as a member of the preofessions holding an advanced degree or an alien of exceptional ability.

I think the first line "The petitioner did not submit an individual labour certification for the beneficiary..." is relevant to your suspicion of an expired labor. It effectively says that there are no valid labor certification against your I140 application, which means that the Labor certification you filed your I140 against, is not valid anymore.

Please restart your Labor again, ASAP.

speaking of SKIL Act, I dont know why I feel pretty optimistic that it might get passed during the lame duck session of Congress. Since December last year (Budget Reconciliation) we have seen House and Senate not agreeing on provisions favorable to us. This time both the chambers have identical bills favoring us. Let's keep our fingures crossed...

Thank you for this information. Never realized that this should be done.

Isn't it done before LC filing?

We need to start recruitment process. For this it requires job advertisements for 5 weeks in a row, complete the recruitment process.

Did you already applied for H1 extention and got RFE or you are just assuming you might get RFE. I recently applied extention for another 3 years and got it successfully. Our AOS is also pending. So dont worry. Anyway it is you choice to use EAD and extend every year.

Thanks for the reply Mchundi, however, if i CHANGE the job does the rule for a 3 year H1B STILL apply? I mean how does the 3 year thing apply to me? I only have a little over 1 year on this current H1 (out of SIX years).

h1b-tristate,
All this was discussed a few times in this thread and other threads as well.

But the way its worded now, it means no benefit for people who have no master's or Ph.D from US accredited university.

And you have to have 3 year experience to top it. From the wording, it means probably before you filed you I-140, you need to have 3 years of experience in relevant field.
So, there is no hope to people who are waiting for H1 visas to start working before Oct,2006 ? ( too much time ..!)

Guys and Gals,
I heard this from immigrant coworkers in my company (Consulting company with 1000+ consultants in USA, 15000+ all over the world), I�m hearing that employees are forced to us EAD instead of renewing H1B visa. Funny part here is, they did not pay for filing I485, all expenses including medical were paid by the employee.

Now they say that they will reimburse EAD filing expense and trying to force employees to use EAD once H1B expires.

Questions:

Is this legal?
Is it a common practice?

Assuming it�s legal and employees have no other choice other than using EAD, I�ve couple more questions.

If for some reason, I485 is denied and you challenge the decision using MTR, will you still be legal status if the MTR process takes several months?

Is there a limit on how many times you can challenge USCIS decision? If they reject your application 10 times and you know the reason they rejected each time is incorrect, do you get to challenge them if you have enough evidence that your application was rejected incorrectly?

Thanks for your time.

If you are past 180 days after filing 485 and 140 approved, nothing stops you from looking for employment elsewhere.
It all depends on your comfort levels - if you want to stick with this employer - you may - does not matter if it is h1b or EAD. If you want to move, you can.

a 140 revoke triggers a 485 denial - some officers do not go through the AC21 process and immediately issue a denial notice.

The law states that you have the right to file for MTR if you think there are facts ignored by the officer.

It all depends on the timing of denial. If during the denial you are out of country - there is no way to do MTR so it depends on luck too.

Working after an erroneous denial is an ambiguous call. The law allows you to file for an MTR, so why not just keep working?

Usually upto 180 days of stay without status is covered by 245K, but as of this date, there has not been any RFEs for status because one filed MTR and waited.

Please talk to an experienced immigration Attorney and they can explain all this stuff.

Can someone give answer to my question??? Please..................
