Congrates.. I know you are happy and why not..
Guys,
I just wanted to share some good news. I had two approved LCs. One with PD EB3 ROW March 05 and the other with ROW EB3 March 06. I had already filed the I-140 for the March 06 but not for the March 05 one. That was because of the way the job requirement was worded in that LC. The attorney was not sure if it would be approved. Anyway since the earlier PD became current in June I decided to take a chance and file I-140 for that earlier PD LC with PP. And what do you know, it got approved today and that allowes me to file for AOS this month. It was a bit of a gamble with money but it worked!!! :cool:

Lawyers can usually justfy some minor spelling mistakes and answer to RFE. Usually USCIS accepts BC name.
Based on inputs from my lawyer, there is some delay if such descrepency is there - he said that he can reply to such RFE and apart from delay there is no other issue.
Thank you. That is good to hear.

Let me start my saying that H-1B status and H-1B visa are, somewhat related, but two different things.
If you are currently in the US on H-1B status, and your H-1B status is about to expire, then your employer needs to file a I-129 petition for extension, with a new LCA, to the USCIS. You can do premium processing, and have the response from the USCIS in 15 calender days.
Once you have the approval notice of your extension, you can go to your home country, or Canada or Mexico, and apply for a new H-1B visa.
Though it is your employer's application, you are legally allowed to pay the $1000 for premium processing.
Some posts suggest that it is entirely your employer's headache, but to be honest, it really doesn't work that way, especially if you work for a small company that is not very well versed with the process.
If this post helps you, I would appreciate if you could give us a hand in our ongoing efforts (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16506)!
Good morning all of you:
If you had the experience of renewing your H1B visa could you please advise how is the process?
Thank you for any feedback .

I actually did get a H-1B extension once based on the fact that the spouse (also H-1B) had an approved I-140 priority date that was backlogged. It was an unusual approval, and surprised the other attorneys (including partners) where I was working. It's not guaranteed, but worth a try if there is no other option to work.
wow! thank you - this is really helpful.
My spouse is still on h1b and we will definitely try for this. Do you think the extension would be affected by the priority date (higher chances of approval if severely retrogressed) - or if theres something like a memo/ruling/logic for the approval, or is it just random chance?
Also in case the motion is declined, does it lead to a future (negative) impact on either a fresh h1b filing, or green card application or such?
Thank you!

My company filed an I-140 in December 2009. The petition (an EB2) was APPROVED in May 2010. A month or so later, I was laid off but BEFORE the I-485 was ever filed. As far as I know, the I-140 has not been revoked. What are my potential options here? Can I find a new employer to file a 485 provided the new job is similar to the I-140 petition or do they have to start the whole process again?
No...need to start the GC from scratch. You can not use your I140 as you no longer employed by the GC sponsor and can not use AC21 as I-485 was not filed.

Hi,
I have a question an experts:
Shustermann says that today ist the last day that all the employment- based-preference categories are current (exception unskilled workers). Ok, now he sasy : We recommand that Employers and their attorneys e-filing their I-140 today.
Please explain me if thats so important to file today the I-140 becouse just today the priority date are current.
I dont understand whats has the filing form I-140 to do with the priority Dates. Priority date is the PERM date??
A little correction to andy's answer above.
yes, the I-140 is also for NIW cases, but remember that your priority date is not "fixed" unless you have an approved I-140 backing up that petition.
What Shusterman is saying is that file the I-140 today and get receipt notice (number) and then based on the priority dates being current only till today you will be able to file the I-485 before Aug 17th.
Does this help clear your doubts! Do I qualify as the "expert" that you are looking for? :D Send me a pM if you have questions.

Here are the details:
Working with an employer since 2001, EB 3 PD Dec 2003, EAD in 2007, Still on H1b until Nov 10. Though had two masters i had filed under EB 3 (no one to balim it was just me...Small Company, not so called HR department and hired not so high profile/deligent lawyer (later found out that he was busy moving from west to east coast)
With the same employer, i have rec'd EB 2 approval, want to file I 140 and port EB 3 PD.
Need help/input with folloiwng from the gurus:
1) in EB 3 application the title is "Construction Engineer" with 4 lines of scope of work clarification with bachelors degree in civil engg. and no experience requirement. In EB 2 application, we have used same title "Construction Engineer" with 4 lines of scope of work, we had left 2 lines common (as earlier in EB3 application) and 2 new lines (related to environmental engg. since i have two env. engg. masters with BE in civil engg.)......this ad asked for MS in env. engg. or similar degree with no experience requirement.
Question: EB 2 Labor is approved, i am not sure what they check with i 140 application but does above sound reasonable (not that anything can be changed...but asking for an opinion here).
2) With premium processing, how long it takes to get I140 approved?
3) Do we just file for I 140 for EB 2 first, get it approved and then file letter/application ( i don't know the procedure/protocol) asking to port PD OR do we need file some sort of paper work with I140 to port PD.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

IV members should take the moral high ground refrain from making frivolous calls to USCIS, so that genuine issues get addressed quickly by USCIS.
You don't want to be holding up the lines over a LUD when someone is waiting for a USCIS customer rep over a denied I-485.

Hello all,
I am currently on H1B visa working for an IT company. I have got an admit for this Fall to do my MS and I was planning to study using my EAD. Now there seems to be some risk in using my EAD and so I want to apply for F1. I have applied for I-485 (Adjustment of status) along with my husband's green card application.
My question is:
1: Is it a problem to apply for F1 if my I-485 is pending approval ? The reason I ask is, F1 is a Non Immigrant visa and I-485 is for a green card (which is Immigrant visa).
2: Would my F1 application cause my 485 to be denied or vice versa ?
Thanks in advance

IVians,
Wondering if anyone on this forum at had applied for unemployment benefits in the state PA. My wife who has a dependent AOS pending wnats to file the claim and see if it gets approved.
on PA state Govt. website, it is asking for the Alien registration number(A#?) if the person is not a US citizen.Is it o.k to provide the A# ?? Also, since my spouse worked on 1099-Misc for a while,we don't think they are going to accept our Applictaion to provide unemployment benefits. But we just gonna try and see...
Please advise?
Have you done any homework before asking these questions? Have you called the unemployment office to inquire about her eligibility?
To answer your question,
Yes, it is OK to provide A#. Without the A# they will not be able to check on her immigration status.
You would qualify for Unemployment in PA as long as there is a pending green card application.
Offcourse the applicant should have earned income in the previous year to qualify.
I would highly advise you to contact the unemployement office in your local city and explain your situation and get their advise.

Guys I am posting this under General Information knowing that this is definitely not an immigration related question. So, please control your urge for giving negative reps. I have booked a wheelchair for my mom who cannot walk properly in Frankfurt airport during her transit of flights. Do they generally take them till the next flight gate? Also, there is only one hour time gap between these 2 flights? Will this be sufficient for them to take her to the next flight gate. Has anyone used this service for your parents and what are their experiences?
Thanks in advance.
btw, the airlines that she is travelling is lufthansa.
Go ahead - there is no problem at all. My parents traveled to Detroit from Bangalore via Frankfurt by Lufth. The had a nice experience - they were taken from one gate to the next by one of those battery operated carts. Everything went smoothly and they did not have to wait much at all (other than the wait during the layover time). Even at Detroit the service was really good - although the guy who got my parents to the exit asked me for tips (which I had ready - but was surprised that he asked for tips - this was the first time someone asked me for tips directly in the US).

Agree with Jonty on checking at http://infopass.uscis.gov...
I needed to confirm my address change.. called uscis and I was told they can't see any personal info... basically read me my status on website and a long boring standard message.. saying you are within the normal processing dates and blah blah... Bottom line I was suggested to take infopass.. so I took.. Its my first infopass appt ever and it was very easy... shown me 2 dates avaialable for Aug (nothing in July).. So I pick one and then was asked to pick a time...
I selected as a follow up on pending case...
Hopefully they'll process my AOS before that :-)
EB2-I June 2004... PD current, RD current per both NSC/TSC...
Case filed at NSC and transferred to TSC (July 23, 2008)
Keeping my fingers crossed per 50-50 probability theory :-)

Agreed, but look at last week's two leading finalist shots. Basically a couple of good family snapshots: the kid getting wet and a guy with a hose. Confuses me as to what's considered good "competition" photography.
