I applied for my AP on Aug 24th. I haven't seen any update on the case. May I know when you guys applied for it?

Yes. I'm July 2nd Filer at TSC and Still waiting. Any Examples that TSC is processing Apps. from July 3rd ... There might be 1000's still waiting who filed on July 2nd.

I am waiting as well:) EAD abt to expire, not used though.Keeping my fingers crossed, and opened 2nd service request after 45 days of the first SR( did not receive any email for first one) and no response and took infopass appt for 5th august Do not know if NC etc has been cleared or not

i think ur employer/lawyer was retarded to send a check dated 2005..as far as i know.. check have a validity of 90 days..(atleast most of them do)

anyway..tough luck brother !

I got my h1b visa stamping done recently. My labor and I-140 EB2 approved, did not take any labor approval and I-140 papers.

If you are 21, then you have aged out with reference to both your H-4 and I-485 petition. Unless you are protected by the child status protection act, which is unlikely if your parents visa number is not available.

Now the question is, what is you status in the United States, are you on an F-1?. If you are then you could perhaps come back on a fresh I-20 to rejoin your course. However, if you have been out of status for 6 months or more as per IRAIRA you will not be allowed back into the country for 10 years. You have to consider all these factors very carefully before you leave.

snathan,
I-140 related to Company's potential to pay his salary not sachisdis qualifications; if he clear Perm EB2 ride then he is all set. Please clarify your concern…

no...education also checked during I-140. Just google 3 years degree and I-140 issues. Most of the time the PERM is gettting approval and only during the I-140 process people are facing issues.

gc_in_30_yrs, I will file new Labor in PERM with this new job Responsibilites..! :D

I am sure ash0210 will get a job in USCIS to write rules for issuing GCs.
Just kidding. I like your analogy.

what if he is charged with 2 misdemenaors as a YOUTHFUL OFFENDER?
is the law not that these are NOT grounds for deportation proceedings?

So for EB3 india the visa bulletin is stuck at May 2001. I did some research and looked into what happed in 2001 about the dates


The reason is USCIS moved for nearly 2 years forward from JAN 2001 to June 2001. In July 2001 they made every thing current (isn't it kind of odd that in July 2007 they made everything current as well.)http://dosfan.lib.uic.edu/ERC/visa_bulletin/2001-07bulletin.html So I presume hundreds and thousands must have filed for their I 485s at that time. Curiously enough there are no visa bulletins from Aug 2001 to March 2002. But in Apr 2002 everybody is current. Surprisingly it stayed current until January 2005 when the retrogression hit again and they have to go back to Jan 2002.

We are now seeing the effects of all those applications. Does this make any sense. It's some interesting pattern but I am not completely able to analyze the situation. Any inputs??

I have my original I94 from when I entered on F-1. And now I have the I-94 attached to my H-1B. Which one do I hand in?

Both have same I-94 number with different visa class and expiry date. I think you have to hand the one that came with h1b. I think either way it will be in system since both I-94 have same number.

You can stay out side for 3 years in a 5 year period.

Friends,
How long can one stay out of Canada once landed as a permanent resident? Is it 2 years or 3 years???

I did my landing in July 06 and have received canadian PR but then moved back to US since then and have not visited Canada since.

Can somebody please provide some input on this? Friend of mine told me that i have to move before July, 08 in order to maintain canadian PR status. Is it true?

Many thanks for your input on this.

open a infopass, go to a local service center, they will schedule and u get it done, Dont loose this great chance.

I waited, opened SR's with 0 luck. Then i tried above and it worked. Luckily they scheduled same day as inforpass for me.

what options did you choose while selecting infopass appt

-----------------------
the first screen gives 5 options
1. You need Service on a case that has already been filed
2. You are a new Permanent Resident and have not yet received your permanent Resident Card
3. You want to file an application in person
4. You need information or other services
5. You need a form.
---------------------------------
I selected #1 and it give 4 more options but I am not sure which one to select for FP

Order from Immigration Court - If you were directed to us for processing based on an order from the Immigration Judge. You must bring all documents required in the post order instructions given to you by the court.
Case Processing Appointment - If you received a notice to go to your local office for further case processing.
EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.
Case Services follow-up appointment - If it has been over 45 days since you contacted NCSC and have not received a response to your inquiry. You must bring the Service Request ID Number related to your inquiry to the appointment.

can you throw some light. Thanks

<bump>

Guys,

I think they are doing it across in NY.
This is really stupid. Most of the people will not have valid stamping on an expiring passport.

San Francisco was fine. They gave me for 10 years in January.

Don't know what their policy now.




Hi friends,
My brother in NJ got his new passport at NY Indian consulate (since old one was expiring soon). They gave new passport which was valid for only one year - saying that they need valid unexpired visa-stamp to give 10 year validity passport.
They said that they will NOT accept
- valid unexpired EAD
- valid unexpired AP
- valid 485 receipt
- even valid unexpired H1 approval notice (my brother still has H1 in addition to AP)
...Now it is so absurd that, even if my bro went for visa stamping (which he isn't planning), he will not probably be issued 3 yr visa as passport is valid for very short duration. A chicken and egg problem.
In addition why do Indian consulate worry about our visa status for determining passport validity duration ? If they do care then at least they must accept the legal documents (ead/ap/485 receipt/h1 approval notice) to make a decision.

I will appreciate if anyone has a solution to this problem. All answers appreciated.

I am so sad (and mad) that lawmakers of our country are still haunting us while we are away from our country and trying to contribute to its progress.

Do you guys see what happens after January 2nd (or after 6 months of receipt date)....Most of the contractors (who applied their 485 in july) will look for permanent job OR demand more money from their employers...OR more benefits from employer. Employers try to be calm and don't conflict with us. What do u guys think??

Is it going to be tough for desi consultants to earn more money by placing their employees as consultants? Because there are already so many people ready to do permanent job.

Thanks all for your replies.

looks interesting....

Congratulations...

without seeing your son's complete record and carefully researching the NY criminal code, it is impossible to give correct legal advice.

Hello miss neha ,

Based on your post ....somehow I seriously doubt that you even got accepted into a premium university for MBA in the US of A ... are you sure its really premium? ... How the hell did a premium university accept an essay with such dastardly atrocious english???

your question is interesting .... and a premium university MBA person should be able to decipher the basic H1B regulations ....

The short answer ... yes if you already have a H1B visa and started work on it , you will be "cap-exempt" for subsequent "transfers" ...

Regards
Hinglish

Can you phrase a single complete sentence without '.....' ?
Dastardly means cowardly. What does "dastardly atrocious english" mean in the context of Neha's post ?
Sentences start with capital letters, need to have commas, and there should be proper usage of articles. I can point out atrocious mistakes in every sentence of your post.
Apart from your atrocious English, your profile is incorrect, your presumptions/tone is even more atrocious (addressing the poster as 'Miss', using words like 'hell'). Best of luck.
