Hi Guys,
I don't know if this is already posted... Here is my situation...
I had applied for 485 in July with Future Employer in EB3.
After 6 months, I want to port the application to my existing employer. At that time, is it possible to convert the application from EB3 to EB2 using AC21 portability??
Any help is appreciated!!!

I dont think u can convert from EB3 to EB2 and AC21 are two different things.
AC21 is for chnaging employers after filing AOS and is pending for more than 180 days.

Hi All,

My Case:
I am planning to travel to India from 11-March till 27-March and my current petition(VISA) ends on 5-April. My company already filled for the extension process (on 30-Jan).

Three possible scenarios

1. If I get the extension approval before leaving to India, do I have to set up a stamping slot at the US consulate in India or can I just carry the new petition and while entering back in US just show that to the immigration officer.

2. If the approval comes on 26-March, what should I do, can I still travel to US without the new stamping.

3. If I dont get the approval till 27-March, can I travel to US with my old petition without any problem?

Thanks in advance

Hello Gurus,

My 6 years H1B visa term is expiring on Apr 30th 2008. My company filed 3 years of extension on approved I140 basis, which is still pending as of Apr 30th 2008. And my I 94 is dated till Apr 30th 2008.

I filed my I 485 in June 2007 and got EAD and AP

1) What will be my status after Apr 30 2008. Will I still be on H1 status, if not what will be my status.

And what is 'H1 pending for 240 days rule'.

Your answer is very much appriciated.

Until you get any decision on your H1 extension, you are still considered on H1.

If your boyfriend has degree+exp in engg, medicine, nursing, management, etc. he can get H1 from company that plans to hire him. Pl search for jobs on yahoo, dice, etc first. Not many companies would be ready to do H1 in present scenario.
best wishes

Can Carl Shusterman help us get USCIS release the numbers allocated and how they were allocated?

He below argued how USCIS interpreted the law and won

http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/news_press_release,60087.shtml

I received the email notification of the case transfer thru the USCIS email updates for the case. My lawyer also leter confirmed that they have received a communication from USCIS on this.

I am not sure what is the process after fingerprinting. Can someone please clarify?

I believe NameCheck must have been initiated. As far as processing 485 is concerned, does the PD have to be current?

I am trying to figure out what is the tentative schedule for the "magical" GC to appear in my mailbox :) ?

I would appreciate any pointers / links

PD needs to be current for approval. Assuming you are from CHina/India, it could be a long wait dude...

this is an attorney question. also this forum is for employment based green card issues. please check with ur attorney.

Can you please help me figure out how to calculate the eligibility for citizenship. If one married a US citizen. Obtained conditional residency, the temporary green card, then forgot to apply to remove conditions. So re-applied for green card, and was granted. The parties have been married 5 years. Will the initial 2 years spent as a conditional resident count towards the 3 years for the citizenship? Again, I want to stress out that after the initial 2 years in conditional permanent residency, forgot to remove conditions, and a new application for green card was needed. However this time the permanent green card was given. Or will she have to wait another 3 years from now on with the permanent green card until applying for the citizenship?

I appreciate any help.

Yes, you can use it for multiple entries (The I-512L should say "this is valid for multiple entries" or something to that effect). But, please be prepared to answer the questions (if any) on what is the necessity to travel on an AP 3 times within the year. If it is on business, that is perfectly within the stated rule. But, if it is vacation, you may be questioned (that is dependent on the individual officer).

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-131instr.pdf

Please read the above instructions about how it has been mentioned that the AP be used sparingly and not in lieu of a visa.

The date you sign the form.

What date should we write on the form beside signature if we are planing to send the packet by 1st july .

The RFE was for biographic information of the passport (basically a photo identity matching the name). It appears that my lawyer may have missed sending separate copies of it for each application (485/765/131). Anyway I sent color copies of the passport pages as well as driver license. The status for the application changed to "Response to request for evidence received on 10/09/2007 and processing resumed".

As far as your FP notices, I have read that others have been able to get the notices after calling the Service Center customer service. You might want to consider that.

Clues, anyone?

Hi Friends :

I am not sure if I am posting this question in right thread or not.
My attorney (Dumbest creature on this earth) filed my I-485 (AOS) application on 30th June, 07 recd. on 2nd July at 10.45 am. I was under this impression that all 3 stages 485/765/131 were filed along to uscis.. but I was wrong. My attorney only applied for 485 saying that they were very busy and will file for 765 and 131 (EAD and AP) after we get 485 adjudicated.. BS..

Anyways.. My question is.. since 485 was mailed out via attorney's office, can I go ahead and apply for 765 and 131 on my own, bypassing attorney's effort or am I stuck with them to wait for their mood-swings to go ahead and file my papers. The deadline with old fees application is 30th July as per the news bulletin. I dont want to waste time for 485 to get adju. and then file for 765/131.

Please advise me about this situation. Also I don't have any proof of 485 application being submitted. I only have tracking number of Fedex that the application was delivered on 2nd July. GOSHH.. pls. advise me.

Thanks

In general, I see a lot of members quoting stuff that indicates shortage of tech workers and saying we should use them.

While this is true, it is worth understanding/appreciating the fact that most of these articles are aimed towards increasing H1 quota and not necessarily improving EB retrogression.

We should be a little careful which articles we use.



Hi,

The following is an article I read and want to share with fellow GC seekers. This clearly indicates that there is a real big need for Tech workers in US and companies are finding difficult to fill the vacancies.

I hope IV may be able to get in touch with researcher and get more detailed information. This may also help them while meeting House Reps and Congressmen.
