Hi IV Attorneys,

My wife's I-797A got lost in transit mail. I was wondering is there a way to order a replacement I-797A and how long would it take to get one. I need to take it to the SSN office as they require original documents to issue a SSN card. Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks.

haha, esh is the new forum man-whore!

My situation is tricky here. I would really appreciate any inputs.

My six years validity for H-1 B will be complete in Mid Dec 2007. I filed my Labor on March 5th in Atlanta. As you know the ATLANTA center is really really slow and I am still waiting on my Labor approval decision. I thought of applying 140 through Premium Processing. Now USCIS suspended premium processing for 140s. My question is:

Whay will be my situation if my Labor gets approved and 140 is pending as of dec 2007 as the LC is filed with less than 365 days remaining on H1 validity? Will I be out of status or can I apply for 7th year extension.


Please guide me through the process and any scenarios. Thank you in advance.

It was intially hard to predict when USCIS would resume PP for I-140. But now that they have stopped taking in 485 applications, they should be in a position to estimate their work load and provide guidance soon.

Thanks,
Jayant

Yes, the new quota starts on Monday. However, you still need a current priority date and all security clearnances before you are eligible for approval. (At least that's how it will work for the most part).

Who knows if they used all the 2007 numbers up. I suspect they will be very close to having done that given the number of applications they had.

Out of the entire year quota, they can allocate only 1/4 th of it in the first quater. This is why it is impossible for USCIS to allocate the yearly quota in one day. [Whether they have such a efficient system to do so is a different debate].

I wonder why they don't have such a distribution for H1B allotment though :D

Thanks

I like how it is really 2, quite different from the rest

A 7th year extension is still possible, but the extension petition must be filed within 180 days of the LC approval. ( per current DOlL regulations, the LC expires after 180 days). My advice would be to have company B file to amend it's petition, requesting a validity date of 12/12.

Why do you want Attorney in CA.

Any attorney in any state can take any case in any state

:( Might be out by Friday for sure:rolleyes:

NumbersUSA and ALIPAC are turning out to be reference sources on Immigration on IV. A lot of us seem to believe in the adage - Keep your friends close, but the enemies closer :D

Hi,

Recently I have received following mail from USCIS that my case is transferred to NBC. How it's going to effect my case process? What could be possible reason that it transferred to National Benefit Center? IS NBC faster or slow?

Here is email :

Thanks for help,

R We

thx for the update.

can u plz let me know which visa would be applicable to this category if not J-1?

Hmm...so the Name Check hell is back.


Good news for EB2 I/C and all EB3 old filers ! These will save huge number of visas for them. Not many People who have filed in July 07 Visa bulletin fiasco would have FBI name check pending.

Its anybodys guess....but u r one lucky guy to get ur receipt within 10 days...

Wow!

Not really. If you see the late June submitters thread, many of us who applied in the June 20th timeframe have got their receipts. It took us 5 weeks to get the receipts from the date of filing.

PD is 12/04 (EB3).

I received a LUD on 9/21/07. I am not sure if this was because my case was transferred from NSC->CSC->NSC. What's the LUD on yours?

Can someone explain how the lawyer files I-485(Does she e-file? or mail it to USCIS?) and how we know about it? How long does it take to know you have filed it? and how do we know about it?

Thanks guys!

Most of the time I don't really like photos that are processed with canned Photoshop effects, they are either too obvoiusly based on a photo or not "handmade" enough. I think by chance (I tried one efter the other just for fun and to see what they did) I stumbled on an effect ("Diffuse Glow" distortion effect in CS) that surprisingly gave this sort of painting or water color look. I tried it on some other photos and it just made a total mess of them. It just somehow worked for this specific picture.
