I did a concurrent submission of I140 and I485 on July 2nd. As and when the 140 PP comes back, can I get PP done even though I have already sent my application?

Yes. You can change your application from regular to PPS at any time provided USCIS is accepting PPS for that category ( such as for I-140).

Dear Saralayar,

See 37.21 of part 2.

Some states stood up for us, but DHS just don't understand.

I posted it there as well

I have similar question about EB2 and experience with current employer

I came from China, so EB3 are really bad comparing with EB2

As I know I could not use experience at my current employer (Company A) to fill EB2, can I find a consulting company (Company B) who willing to sponsor my EB2, while still work for Company A (through Company B)?

Will that be some problem, or is it legal?

See my comments below.Answers are something I have used in my In Laws application.

While filling the application online for parents visa interview what would be a better answer for the following questions:

Who Will Pay For Your Trip?
Children(in US)

What would be a better answer?
Self.
OR
Children(in U.S)
Does it even matter?

Are Any of The Following Persons in The U.S., or Do They Have U.S. Legal Permanent Residence or U.S. Citizenship? *
Mark YES or NO and indicate that person's status in the U.S. (i.e., U.S. legal permanent resident, U.S. citizen, visiting, studying, working, etc.).
Bother/Sister etc.
Mention about the people(siblings of parents) that are here
Would it be better to say ?

No
OR
Mention about the people(siblings of parents) that are here


Was this Application Prepared by Another Person on Your Behalf? *
(If answer is YES, then have that person complete item 40.)
This question is about who completed the DS-156, if parents are educated just put 'NO'.That means they completed the DS-156 themself.Otherwise you can write whoever completed the DS-156
Should we say

Yes
OR
No (When actually Children are filling the application.)

Please Advice
Thank you.

Why is it still unaccessible? Are you guys experiencing the same?

Does anyone really care?

In my experience, it is not required if your are still within the expiry date on the previous stamping and the previous stamping was for a H1-B. You just need to show the latest 797 ( h1-b approval) . I have used this feature many times, and have even changed two employers in between. Never had a problem, except once while coming back from Canada. The immigration officer was new and hence went and asked her superior who said it is no problem. I was let thru with not problems after that. I never had a problem in SFO, thru which i travel frequently.

I think i saw a FAQ for this on murthy.com . check that site as well.

In the end, I am not an attorney, so dont legally hold me to my response. consult your attorney.

I spoke with a 2nd level officer and came to know that my case is preadjudicated..but still not assigned to an officer and obviously the visa number has not been assigned. Is there anything I could do to make my case assigned to an IO in order to get the visa number and ofcourse the CPO?? Anyone experienced this??

I got 2 red dots for this .....Crazy people

Happy?

How do I see or get LUD for I140 ? Mine was approved in DEC, 2006. Applied 485 in August 2nd week. Will I also get LUD?

My I-94 is expiring in a month. I have used Advance parole to enter US after a vacation about a year back. How do I renew my I-94 card? Does anybody know...

Even though you entered using AP, you might be able to extend your nonimmigrant status. As the prior answer says, this is not necessary but many employees like to have it in case the AOS is denied for any reason.

It is also useful because if your EAD expires and you have not received a new one, you cannot work even if a new application is pending. On the other hand, if your H-1B (for example) has expired but the company timely filed an extension, you can keep working while the extension is pending.

I cannot believe the numbersUSA people. How cruel.

If you can you should move up to EB2.

Even if it is file your spouse's I-485, what moving up means is you both can be free out of this mess.

There is no guarantee with PD dates for EB3-India moving to Dec 2001. It has not touched that date ever since retrogression was introduced. Go figure. BTW, USCIS still thinks there are thousands and thousands of apps filed before Dec 2001.

Best of luck.

The PD for my GC application is Dec 10, 2001. I filed under EB3 category and my chargeability is India. Going by the backlog that we are currently experiencing for EB3, is it worth filing for an upgrade of the GC application from EB3 to EB2 based purely on timelines for both EB3 and EB2?

Hi,

I looking for porting my approved EB3 labor and 140 to EB2. Here are my details:

My qualification: Diploma in electronics and communication Engg in India
(3 years diploma after 10th)

Years of experience: Since 1991 in IT (About 20 YRs)

Green card process: EB3 Approved labor and 140.

Situation: When I contacted one of the university in USA they informed me that I can
do the Masters instead of BS online degree.

My question1: Will I be eligible to file my EB2 if I do Masters without doing BS?

My question 2: Is MS from International Technological University (http://www.ITU.EDU) is accepted bu USCIS for Immigration purpose?

Thanks in advance

3-yr diploma is considered equivalent to US High-school diploma( 12th grade) and how can one get MS without bachelor's degree? and remember in most cased USCIS require you to show 4-year US equivalent bachelor degree even for EB3

Thanks GC_ON_DEMAND for the quick update.

Hello,

One of the clients is not considering EAD as a valid document to enter their facilities. Funny thing is their security team are ok if you have valid visa and I94 but not EAD.
I think this is more of ignorance about EAD.

Can some provide doucumentation which says discrimination of EAD is violation of Law? or some thing that says EAD is a valid document to work adn stay in the country.

I 9 form does have i 766 as valid entry.

We have travelled in mid May '09 from via Frankfurt on AP and we did not have any problems.

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

What has the Name Check initiation got to do with the submission of finger prints...Nothing.

I bet your notice date is about 2 weeks before your Name Check initiation (Sept 18, 2007).

Would believe the dates the IIO gave you.

Any comment?

Specter has new immigration package
By Elana Schor
July 27, 2007
The Senate Judiciary Committee�s senior Republican said on Thursday that he is on the verge of offering a new immigration reform package, making significant changes that could win over recalcitrant members from both parties.

Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.), who accompanied President Bush Thursday on his visit to Pennsylvania, said he has spoken to Bush and the two Cabinet members who have led immigration talks about his new bill. Specter also told reporters that he has spoken to most senators involved in this spring�s failed �grand bargain,� outlining his plan and appealing for a restart to the arduous immigration debate.

�I�m ready to unveil it now,� Specter said. �I�ve got letters to the 100 senators on my desk.�

Specter explained the new measure would omit the controversial �Z visa� program, which would have given the nation�s 12 million illegal immigrants a path to citizenship. Removing the Z visa would offer conservatives less opening to tag the bill as �amnesty.� But he would leave intact the family reunification standard that this spring�s defunct immigration bill partially replaced with a skills-based system.

The lone change in the status of the 12 million, Specter said, would be removing their status as fugitives from justice, an attempt to diminish their incentive to remain outside the system and in fear of deportation.

Specter added that he already has met with �stakeholders� from outside groups involved in the complex immigration debate, and he plans to hold more sit-downs next week. Offering green cards to immigrants seeking employment in the high-tech industry is under consideration, he said.
