Both my wife and I also received a RFE on June 29th but don't know the content of the RFE because haven't received the CIS letter yet. I did submit the BC, however, so I hope that the RFE is not for BC. I don't know what else it could be.. I have been scratching my head since I got the email yesterday. Also called CIS but they wouldn't tell me what the RFE is about.

Hello All,

I would really appriciate if you can tell the names of the colleges that you guys are going to ....

Thanks,

Still debating on illegals... havent discussed much abt the legals. So nothing concrete has come out. Our future is still a Question Mark...

Looking at most of the remarks the senators are making, I am expecting this bill to die. Sorry for breaking the bubble, it is just a hunch

What is so surprising about giving up citizenship of a country you don't live in?

Unless you serve in Armed Forces

I know most us are victim of immigration lawyers in this GC mess. They with company's help exploit our situation. You may want to use this website rating those useless lawyers.

Strictly speaking, she cannot use the AP to enter the US unless she had it in her possession when leaving the US.

I agree with you both on the points raised, but what particularly interested me was the stat below and also given that 'the labour market traditionally lags behind any wider economic recovery'.


" However, the number of people still on jobless aid after an initial week of benefits slid by 148,000 to 5.8 million in the week ended October 17. It was the lowest reading since March, hinting at some stability in the job market."

Bottomline is we are not in a L or U pattern( prolonged stagnation). Also given that the last quarter traditionally has a stronger retail growth due to the Holiday season, Whether it is a V or W shaped recovery is what remains to be seen.

that is what the embassy has stamped on my old visa pages when I got a renewal visa stamped.

I had a TB test yesterday. Waiting to go to doctor on Monday to get results. Hope I get negative result :eek:

I think doing a business on H1B is legal , But you are not supposed to work for the company.

What about the Spidy ?

Peter Parker is American, lived in NY with his aunt and uncle. He can still look around for greener pastures. There must be better jobs than being a photographer at Daily Bugle with no promotions and a yelling boss. :)

With the possiblity of the annual spillover coming up soon, wanted a quick poll to see the upcoming PD distribution within the IV community. EB2-India and waiting for adjudication only please (we can start another one for EB3-I & ROW)

Interesting- Never done a FOIA request for just an approval.

I might try filing an I-824 seeking a duplicate approval notice.

I have an appointment for H1B visa stamp @ the toronto consulate next week. This will be my second stamp (first one expired early this year).

I received a phone call from the consulate asking for my H1B receipt/notice dates and receipt number, etc...She told me that there is new rule where USCIS has to verify the I-797 petition even though you carry an original approval notice. With this rule in effect...she told me the passport wait time is miminum of 4 days.

I already booked my tickets 2 weeks ago. I'm confused. Has anyone else received a call or have recently obtain H1B stamp in toronto?

I was hoping to come back in few days and now it's going to cost me $$$$$. I wish NVARS told me this when I signed up for the appointment.

:(:(:(

This is the new rule and went into effect from last week of Nov. It is not only for the Consulate in Toronto but all US Consular posts in Canada atleast.

H1B petition filed for H1B extension in regular processing on Nov 14 2007 in CSC and on 16th USPS has acknowledge that application has been delivered to USCIS and signed by GERORGE. I haven’t received receipt number till today. Is there any delay for receipt notice?

Thanks guys for the response !

I got the LUD on the same date (Soft LUD) but didn't call to check on the status.

mine is at CSC.

Hello Everyone,

Here is my situation:

1) My 6 years H1B with Company-A ends Sept 2011
2) I-140 approved and my priority date is Aug 2006.
3) Company-B(end client) offered a full-time position starting Jan 2010.

What are my options? My questions are:
1) Will I be eligible to extend my H1B with Company-B for another 3 years? Do I need a I-140 with Company-B to extend?
2) Is it possible to use the labor and I-140, that I filed when I was with Company-A, to file for I-485? If I can, can I file the I-485 independent of Company-A? Do I need any kind of approval or paper work from Company-A?
3) When Company-B sponsors my GC is it possible to port the priority date? Do I need to restart the whole GC process again with Company-B?

I am really confused. Please help.

How long is the AP valid? And does the clock start ticking from the date of AP application or from the date of AP approval?

AP valid :1 year from the issuance.
Not sure , we filed on June 1st I will let you know once I get AP.

Though I am still stuck at LC process, I am curious to know if you are required to attach copies of W2 or tax returns with your I485 application? Is there any specific requirement from USICS on this or recent paystubs and letter from employer should be enough?
