No I am not.

No news yet! This is very frustrating!

Hi,

Thanks for the response. So, technically, there is a window between when I transfer to Company-B and Company-B files my PERM, in which Company-A can withdraw/cancel my I-140. So, what happens to the status in that case? Will the Company-B H1(transferred) still be valid?

Thanks.

I'll take it all, where do I pick it up from? ;)

Dear All,
I got a labor substitution and filed for my I-140 and I-485 concurrently. Today was the last day to send the documents and some paperwork was missing for my wife! I missed sending the package!

Now how should i proceed?? My wife is on H1-B currently. Any ideas??

My priority date is 25 jan 05 - eb2.

Thanks,
KK.

I was thinking of local office visits only. If you are from MD, then we can go together to visit the Senators in Baltimore or Hagerstown.

I am from the 6th district and my representative is Roscoe G. Bartlett. He has an office in Frederick and I will try to meet him there.

I have not decided when to visit. May be in a couple of weeks.

I'd be interested, are you planning to do local or DC offices?

I have met with staffers from offices of both MD senators a few times (in their DC offices) and I have been to the DC office of my local Congress woman.

Let me know when you are planning to go.

IN THE CURRENT SITUATION/TREND,

- USCIS throwing RFEs on H1 transfers
- Beware of 140 revocation by your employer though it is not valid. But will put you in mental stress
- Make sure your new position duties and its description and slaray are similar.

Nothing positive? Check this out:

There were those who got their I-140 cleared under EB2 and were practically jumping with joy at the door closing behind them. Some were even taking credit for the move :)

Generally it doesnot help to stop line behind you. But here in USCIS world that may help as people from 2006 got GC before people from 2004-5 . If no people from 2006 were there may be 2004- 05 people may have got their card.

but if new administration makes USCIS to more productive ,closing door behind any one will not help.

thank you so much for the reassurance, have been getting mixed reports of immigration officers denying re-entry, so am a little perturbed :) dont want to be stuck in a situation where i cannot re-enter :)

Illegal immigrants rallying today. Hopefully this will be a positive push for CIR (as opposed to the perceived negative it was last year).

Thanks for your comments.

I am from ROW and PD is 04/2002 which is current right now. Did the PP for I-140 and all medicals are done.

I am kind of scared of Name Check process. Lets see what happens.

Congradulations again to all those IV memeber who are getting Green card approvals and goodluck to all those members who are able to file their I485 and get EAD, just to be out of H1B /H4 clutches and one more step closer to green card

As current drastic visa movment proved the fact that for IV members main issue is not current law but itz implimentation. a change in law will certainly help, but thatz not our big problem

I would like to discuss your IV future agend with current situation, Please post your opinion how you think IV should procede based on current situations.

I belive IV should now concentrate more on making sure current law is implimented in a more effeciant way, make sure USCIS does not waste any visa numbers, we need to push for speeding citizenship processes and makeup for loss time during retrogression

IV should stop chasing CIR which has nothing for us and itz very controversial

IV is for legals and we should concentrate only on whatz good for us

I really appreciate core members opinion

by the way I got my approval for my I485

Sweet !!! Congratulations on getting ur 485 approved.
eb3india becomes GCIndia :)

My spouse was on H4 then got a job and changed to H1. Subsequently spouse lost her job and is now back on H4. I have been on H1 throughout and my six years of H1B visa expire in 2010. MY spouse I and want to get our H1 and H4 visa stamped in Mumbai consulate.

Does any one think that the changeover from H4 to H1 and then again to H4 could be a reason to be concerned about for getting the visa stamped at the consulate?

Appreciate your valauable advice.

When you wife lost her job, I assume you filed a Change of Status from H1 to H4 for her. Her status does not convert back to H4 unless you file a COS. As long as you show proof of legal stay in whatever status you were in US, and you have all supporting documents to submit during the visa interview, I dont see any issues for getting your visa. Its good to take all paystubs that your wife got while she was working on H1. I know of one case, where the visa officer asked for wife's paystubs during her H1 status though she was attending a H4 visa interview. She did not have them with her but the officer still granted her the H4 visa. But I guess she got lucky that time and its good to carry them.

I believe that it's the date of last physical entry into the U.S.
I'm in a similar situation and my lawyer filled that.

Dear fellow IV members,

I was just referring to my first application for EAD filed by my lawyer (july filer)

For Q#12 - Date of last entry into the US - my lawyer had entered (05/10/2007) - the H1-B approval date in date of last entry in to US - is this because of the new I-94 attached to H1-B approval notice?

But the I-94 in the passport shows my actual physical entry into US after my last visit outside the country - 08/10/2006.

I have not traveled outside the country after renewing my H1-B.

Which date did you guys put - the actual date of physical entry or the I-94 start date after renewal of H1-B?

Thank you!!!

depends on your PD?

no you don't have to worry. however when you travel and come back in, it is needed. i believe it might be needed when you try to apply for a visa(extension/change of status etc) in US.

If you are on H1 then the ticket should be provided for by your employer - that is my understanding of the law.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced a final rule that adopts, without change, an interim rule to improve the integrity of the Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9) process. USCIS received approximately 75 public comments in response to the interim rule, which has been in effect since April 3, 2009.

The main changes made by the interim rule and adopted by the final rule include: prohibiting employers from accepting expired documents; revising the list of acceptable documents by removing outdated documents and making technical amendments; and adding documentation applicable to certain citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

Employers must complete Form I-9 for all newly hired employees to verify their identity and authorization to work in the United States. The list of acceptable documents that employees may present to verify their identity and employment authorization is divided into three sections: List A documents, which show identity and employment authorization; List B documents, which show identity only; and List C documents, which show employment authorization only.

The final rule will be published in the Federal Register tomorrow and will be available at www.uscis.gov (http://www.uscis.gov). The final rule is effective on May 16, 2011. Employers may continue to use the current version of the Form I-9 (Rev. 08/07/2009) or the previous version (Rev. 02/02/2009). The Handbook for Employers, Instructions for Completing the Form I-9 (M-274) was updated on Jan. 5, 2011, and is available for review at www.uscis.gov/files/form/m-274.pdf (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/m-274.pdf).

Let us know if we can help in your I-9, E-verify or Public Access Files compliance.
