Hello everyone and thank you IV for all your great work. Much appreciated.
I have a (hopefully ) simple question:
I am EB2 (had been current the whole time) and I am just now ready to file my I-140 and I-485.
That said and considering the now new window to file (till 8/17), should I premium process the I-140? Does it even matter? Am I going to basically throw away $1000?
I had ready that they would not even touch the I-485 till the I-140 was approved but that sounds like a contradiction to concurrent filing, right?
Any info, tips would be greatly appreciated.
My attorney is ready to file but I want to make sure I ask the right questions/get the right info from them before they do so.
Thank you all once again!
That's right, premium processing has been suspended. Yes it is true i-485 is not touched until i-140 is approved, but they will process EAD and AP. They just cannot decide the i-485 BCOS it is based on an immigrant petition. IF the immigrant petition has not been decided, they cannot do anything about the i-485. Hope this helps

My company had promised that they would start my GC processing once I complete a year which was in March 2009. Since then they have been going back and forth with the lawyers writing the job description to post the job ad.
The lawyer tells us that the department of labour has tightened up the process and so the job description needs to be very generic with minimum number of years of experience(2 for a sr. software engineer) and this has caused a lot of controversy that this will cause an audit and so on and forth.
I am sure there are many other people out there who are applying even now. I do not know if its the lawyer or the company that is causing an issue here.
My only option would be to search for another job who will do my GC. But i dont have so much time left for all that.
What can i do?

I need to clarify if you are working for employer A for say BS+7 yrs and want to apply GC through Employer A then the 7 yrs exp is not counted against experience ( very rare cases it can be considered if the new position is completely different)
IF you are processing your GC for future employment with say Employer B then the 7 yrs is counted.
Did that clarify your doubt
Thanks for the clarification.

It happened to us. We applied in Oct'06. Received the H4 approval notice in Jan'07. Only then I started tracking H1. My attorney called USCIS in Feb, they told him, we approved H1 (H4 will not be approved until H1 is..), but forgot to mail H1 approval. They never updated their system to reflect it. They also told him that they sent my approval notice to central storage facility, and have to order it to come back, only then it can be sent. Just 2 days back I got my approval confirmation email. Still waiting for the paper. Good luck with your case.

The other day, three guys, a Pakistani, an Indian, and a Czech, and one Serb girl (originally from the beautiful city of Belgrade) met the staff of their American lawmakers, to tell them about the problems faced by the EB-immigrant community due to backlogs and insanely low visa numbers for EB-greencards.
You can't get more American than this.
My experience with the meetings with the lawmakers' staff has been very positive. I approached it with nervousness; however, the staff has ALWAYS been extremely polite, sincere and encouraging. They listen to us, and engage in meaningful discussions and question answer sessions with us. Quite often, we are told that this was the first time that our point of view was being told to them. We ask them what advice they have for us. And they all ALWAYS tell us to (a) talk to other lawmakers and (b) call them frequently, as they provide daily totals and tallys on pro-vs-anti calls on different issues to their bosses.
So folks. We still have time. We have a few weeks. Please (a) join together and form state chapters, (b) educate yourself, (c) call the lawmakers offices (d) meet the lawmakers and (e) do all this within the next few days.
Too often we take a fatalistic approach towards issues. Other times, nervousness and fear renders us incapacitated. Be proud of the fact that we are a diverse group of high-skilled immigrants. We are educated professionals. We are doctors, engineers, scientists, and other professionals.
It is our duty, as intelligent and educated professionals, to tell the lawmakers that we are facing problems, and to request them to fix those problems, since they have the power to do so.

Hi,
I f there is one word difference between first name in marriage certificate and birth certificate will that be basis for rejection of application or will it just be RFE?
First name on the birth certificate and passport is the same but instaed of "ta"there is "tha" in marriage certificate .Due holiday ,it is just impoossible to get affidavit by tonight.
Please I sincerely appreciate your opinion what should be done in such case?
Wait till 16th evening ,hoping to get affidavit which may or maynot be possible or just go ahead and submit application now?
Thank you so much.
I don't think you will even get an RFE, let alone rejection. File now and don't wait for 16th evening. It has to reach there on th 17th. Once you file you can prepare an affidavit and keep in hand in case you get an RFE.

I'm curious if anyone has got multiple RFEs on their I-485 application. I had an EVL RFE last year and wonder about the chances they'll give that (or any other) RFEs again in future.
Any personal experiences?
By multiple RFE I don't mean many questions in 1 RFE letter. I mean USCIS sends you 1 RFE, receives reply and resumes the case and then at a later point in time sends another RFE on the same application.
No personal experience but based on recent visa bulletin and slow movement prediction going forward I would not be surprised if they send another EVL RFE, especially if your PD is more recent. This is because if and when your PD is approaching to be current, that could take 2, 3 4 or even 5 years. They may ask for EVL again to verify you still have a job offer after 5 years.

Hello Gurus,
I transferred my H1 in June and later in September, I converted to premium and got a query. My employer sent all documents to them, I have to go to India on 24th Nov for my marriage, The H1 from my previous employer is valid until Dec 2008. I am planning to come back to US in December last week. Also I have to take appointment in India for my H1 stamping and H4 for my wife.
The application status says, they would respond in 60 days(?????) , for a premium processing ? Can you please advice, what I can do?

Hi folks, i am in urgent situation and need your advice.
My 6-year H1B expires by end of April 2011 and I am quitting my job by the end of March and changing my status to H4. My I-140 has been approved, I-485 not submitted. Now I only have 1 month left in the 6-year H1B period and am in H4 after March, can I find a new employer to apply for H1B for me, using the 1 month? If yes, can the new employer apply for a 3-year H1B visa?
any comments/advices would be appreciated.

You can continue working in any position as long as you are with the same company. As long as your position and salary is not reduced, no one cares.
I went from programmer to VP of Tech and nothing happened.
I am on h1-b visa and I have got an opportunity to have promotion in my current company. This new position is in the same department with the same company and needs almost same type of computer skill but with higher position title, more responsibility, and higher pay.
Question:
Do i need to file for new h1-b or transfer?

Spoken to my attorney and she says its no problem getting back into the US with a AP.
I use AP last year with no issues while going back to Msia for a visit. I guess i am paranoid about dealing with US immigration.
