Mine is filed on Junly20, still my checks are not cashed yet.

After some analysis on receipt delay's and talking to some other senior members in this group here is my description.

Because of high volume of 485 applications USCIS deceided to hire some consultants.
USCIS gave some instructions to consultants. If 485 applications are 100% correct they are issuing
receipts. Other wise they are sending to 2nd level of verification.

even some of friends got receipts who applied on Auguest 17th.


The problems i seen in my application are

1) My H1 extension got expired before i send to USCIS. I did not enclosed my approval notice (when i post my application i did not received my approvals)
2) On 485 part 2 instead of choosing option 1 my immigration person selected option others and mentioned in that column becasue of I140 receipt number (SRC xxxxxx) i am eligiable for applying 485


i seens some other cases also who's receipt are delayed the did some other mistakes.


Experts please give me suggesstions because of above mentioned things is any problems to get GC or receipt numbers

I thought that you can use AC21 only if you work for employer and I-485 pending more than 180 days and then you leave the employer to work for somebody else.

Is it possible to use prior employer's I-140, Empolyment offer letter - and file I-485 for future employment--- wait 6 months and then use AC21 clause to get greencard - All these while working for company other than original employer who file I-140?

# 8/29/2008 AILA Liaison Seeks Examples of Adjustment Cases Pending Security Checks (. 27 KB) AILA is collecting information in an effort to work with USCIS to identify adjustment of status applications that may be approvable as of October 1, 2008, when new visa numbers become available. The focus of this effort is those adjustment of status cases, which are approvable under the February 4, 2008, security check memo by Michael Aytes. AILA Doc. No. 08082968.

All the best indian..........
Hopefully it will happen that way for you.............

More details are needed to answer this question better.

I think that any time is a good time - it is better to start the process early. If the company is paying for the process - what is the harm. He should go ahead... If he is planning to leave the company and is required to sign some type of agreement to start GC process - then it will be a different story.


One of my good friend asked me this questions yesterday? I did not have an answer for him and wanted to ask if someone could have any suggestions on this.

Thanks you for your time.

His company wants to start his EB2 green card process. He was wondering if this a good time to do this? Is it recommended that he delay this process for 6 months or so? He is currently in his 3rd year of H1B.

Thanks

My 485/EAD applications were mailed on July 5th. and received on July 9th. by F HEINAUER at NSC.
I have not received a single notice and checks were not cashed.
I called customer service today and the they told me to wait 90 days.... :eek:business days!!!

Thank you all for giving me confidence. I have updated my profile. I do not remember dates of some information. I will update them later.

One last question is if worst thing to happen would my adv. parole be useful for reentry?

Looks like - they keep pulling up your information using your A number and for some reason they may be relating to your EB2 i 140 even though you have an EB3 i 140.

We have no clue what happens inside USCIS and how their record retention policy is.

You must do the following

(1) Write to Ombudsman - fill out form 7001 and attach all documents, proofs, and clearly explain the issue and hardships you are facing

(2) Write to both your Senators

(3) Write to your congressman

(4) Write to IV also in detail about your case. Don't have to write any private details.

You guys still dont get it..do you??
Why would they ban non-immigrants from investing when there is ZERO loss for the country?
Its upto each individual to evaluate their priorities and go ahead and move their investments. I have already done it as I am just an alien waiting for permanent residency and I do not want my money stuck in any of the investment vehicles in a foreign land making it difficult for me to take it along with me when the day comes to leave the country.

Well for the why part...Its absurd, I understand. But then why is there country limit? Why is H4 not same as L2? There are absurdities and depends on the perspective you look from.

Why would they ban?? If they have compelling point like "To protect Americans assets against speculation and to preserve capital within the country".

I also see that it is individual's prerogative, however the point here is to show some numbers we (L1, H1, EADs) are responsible for & hopefully, grease the wheels towards smoother status adjustments.

I pledge $100 right now to IV. I will make the payment tonight.


I just made the payment. It is easy folks please contribute....

My i-140 premium processing application was filed on the 22nd of June,2007 as indicated in the information below. The package & check were returned in the first week of July. A letter indicating the reason for remittance and return was that the labor cert. attached was a photocopy and not the original.
Now what does not make sense here is that the original labor was sent along with the original i140 application filed last year(in june 2006).
I called the USCIS info line and the rep. suggested that i could resend it with an explanation.
What concerns me is if i do resend it, would it be considered only after suspension of i140 premium is lifted or would it be considered as a case from last month and processed under premium.


My lawyer told me that 140 PP can't be filed with a copy of LC. They say you can only file regular processing if you don't have the original LC.

She said, it requires some additional processing by USCIS in case of copy of LC that requires more time and therefore they can't process it in 15 days.

what is OCI??

lol. Yeah I know your just kidding about that 3rd grader stuff mr. Iworkedforeidosandnike :P

I will look at the I-485 application on Saturday and will send all my applications to the center listed for EB applications. As of now it is NSC.

calboy78, thanks for your reply. i will go for PIO card and update his information in nearest police station after 180 days.

Hello..

My Visa get expire on Sept 2009. I want to travel india on month (June) and coming back on June. Do i need to stamp my visa for coming back?. Also My visa in the name of company A. and i left the company moved to company B and then Company C. Now my H1 is with company C and its valid till 2011 November. Can i use the same Visa for reentry to US when i am coming back on May/June. Please give your answers ASAP.

Thanks

You can still re-enter on June 2009 using the company A's stamp that expires on September 2009. Please keep the necessary documentation (offer letter, I-129, paystubs etc) for employer B and C ... this may be necessary at the time of re-entry. Otherwise, to keep things straight, go fo visa stamping.

This is my 2 cents, take it or leave it. Please consult the lawyer before taking any decision.

Two H1 are allowed, as long as both are part time and total hours per week is around 40 hours. If you already have a FULL time H1, that is 40 hours, then the Intelligent IO might think that your taking someone else's job.
You can have multiple FULL time H1, but can work for only one employer FULL time.

If you have GC or Citizenship, then the labor laws are different.

If she has valid H4 stamping go to Canada and comeback. She can apply as H4. Even illegals are going to schools without any issues. If you stay legally you have to go through all these issues. Which University is this?

There was also a gap of my H-1 Activation and F-1.



Since the stamping is for your current job, and the I-129 requirement was a Bachelor's only, there should not be any issues.

What was the gap between H-1 activation and F1? If it was only a few months, it could be overlooked.
What were you doing then? Did you have a PT (practical training) atleast?

The above is based on what i think I know. The best person to advice is an immigration lawyer.
