Assuming his I-140 gets rejected, is it going to impact his current EB3 process ? Remember, he is going to be on board with the new company only after I-140 process. By the way, new Labor will take atleast 5-6 months. Advertising, etc

Hi, guys,
I'm having a little trouble with counting the years of experience for my EB2 petition. My attorney said I can only count the number of years I worked before joining the current sponsoring company!! The situation is, I jointed this company in Jan 2004. But my petition (Labor) appliction only started at the end of 2006. My attorney says that the three years of working experience (04, 05 & 06) can not be counted!
Is he correct on this?
thanks.

Hello
Thank you for your time and I appreciate your effort.
Scenario:
I have two Approved I-140s (both filed by same company).
• Filed I-140 & I-485 concurrently with a PD of Nov 2007 (Original Labor) - I-140 Approved and I-485 Pending
• Filed I-140 with PD March 2005 (Substitution Labor) - I-140 Approved.
Questions:
1. I would greatly appreciate if you can let me know what are my options and any relative information (Letter formats etc.)
2. Can Info-Pass work instead of writing to USCIS?
1) Send letters to the service center explaining your situation and the priority dates + 140 approval LIN#(NSC) or WAC# or whichever approval numbers you have. You need to stress that your dates are current and that your AOS applications have to be approved based on the current 140 (irrespective of which approved 140, the 485 apps were filed).
2) Send faxes same as the letter.
3) Call the NSC/TSC IOs. (If you reach the national customer service center, no luck).
4) Take Infopass.
One of the above options will work.

A lot of people don't submit a formal AC21 letter when they change jobs, but if you want to do so, then it is better that you don't assume that they are going to look at your h1b app and figure you used AC21.... in most cases, uscis doesn't even look at AC21 before sending an RFE or NOID when I140 is revoked. Take what you can out of this...

Hello,
I have a H1B visa stamped on my passport for Company A. This visa is valid till Nov 2008 and will need renewal after that.
I recently changed my company from Company A to Company B. They have filed for my H1B transfer.
Question 1] Will this new H1B for Company B be valid for 3 more years (Till Feb 2011) or will this visa have to be renewed in November 2008 (remember by visa stamp for Company A is valid till Nov 2008)?
Question 2] What if I want to travel to India this October (remember by visa stamp for Company A is valid till Nov 2008)?? Can I still travel on my old visa stamp or will I need to go to embassy again in India for a new stamp
Thanks in Advance for your answers.

In my case i am a consultant, and keep on moving like 8-9 months....... dont have any permanent address.............. i am sure a lot of ppl will be in the same position as i am............. so what are you guys doing for the addresses on the 485/EAD/AP..........
AFAIK, You can file AR 11 online. Once you are done with filing AR11, it will ask you all the applications on file with USCIS. If you give your receipt numbers, it will update the address associated with those applications.
To avoid any confusion as of now, (if your 485 and 693 has different addresses) attach an addendum explaining why you were medical was done in FL, while your permanent address is out of the DC area.
Just my thoughts, talk to your lawyer and see what he will say.

Rahul,
I assume you are planning on working in Canada using visitor visa. This is not legal and if you want to do it anyway, immigration authorities would question your intent of travel every monday to friday, when you have a valid H-1B work permit in USA. I don't think you will get by this.
My cousin had a similar experience he worked in Canada for two months on visitor visa, Immigration authorities were tough on him when he was on his way back to USA, asking him how come he had such a big vacation in a calendar year and also various other tough questions.
My advice is to apply for work permit in Canada through your existing companies branches in Canada and then work in Canada as you have suggested.
Please don't follow my advice blindly, contact your Attorney and look at all the legal ramifications and then decide about your future course of action.

My case was approved by BEC on July 18. My attorney says that my 140 has to be filed by July 31 to be eligible to file under July visa bulletin [by 17th August]
Is his interpretation correct?
I can not do concurrent for a few more days, until my family returns from India.
If I go with 140 now, I am afraid the 140 receipt may not arrive in time for me to file for 485.
e-file your i-140, then you have 7 business days to send in your supporting documents (receipt notice is generated immediately from your printer). I-485 can be filed before August 17

Hi! I'm H1B holder and my company is willing to sponsor the green card. I'm coming from Eastern Europe (Moldova) and in US am working as software developer, I guess it's EB-3, right? I graduated in Romania Bachelor Degree in Mathematics & Computer Science (4 years) and Master Degree in Computer Science & Engineering (2 years). My work experience is more than 7 years. Please advice how to proceed to get this process done properly, legally and fast, reasonably possible and how much time it would probably take. Thanks in advance!
You should try for EB2. Make sure the Labor requirement is filed accordingly. Any way as you are coming under ROW, its not going to make much difference.

My second 140 may be approved by this month end.. Neb-Nov. 08-filing... i am hoping i will be able to port my PD..to 12-05
Now..in case i lose my job... and since i am in my 9th yr-h1..which expires may-2010..
suppose ..i cant find a job ...and if i have to leave US.....(but my employer agrees not to cancel my 140)
a.) what should i do to retain my GC process?
b.) How do i switch to CP processing....
Thanks in advance..
You need to file I 824 form and let USCSIS know that you want to transfer your case to consulate. If you are from Mumbai consulate area then u can do AC I 140. becasue I 824 can take 1-2 years to transfer your details.
While in AC I 140 you just need receipt of I 824 and attorney certified package. More details you can get on internet. If you PD is near to current then u can initiate this process and thus with in 3-4 months if PD become current you can get visa interview. Generally they dont ask for hard ship reason for AC I 140 but in your case you can explain about your wait time and impact on your career etc..
To do AC I 140 or normal CP process u need offer letter from employer.

Hi all,
My insurance company (Progressive) is charging a ridiculously high rate for liability only insurance for my H4 spouse who currently holds a valid permit. They say the rate will go further up when she gets a perm license after passing the road test.
I have heard this issue from other H1Bs who have different insurance carriers than mine.
Have you guys found a cheaper alternative? Insurance agents etc??

My GC was started by a company A with priority date of June 2004 in EB3. 140 was approved and filed 485 in July 2007 when all gates opened. In parallel, a friend of mine started my GC processing under EB2. That has a priority date of March'2005. Current date for EB2 is Feb.2005.
I got an offer from a different company (company B), which I would like to take if I have no issues with GC etc. I am thinking what should be my plan of action. I have the following options:
1. Join company B on contract to hire on EAD that I got from company A as an employee of my friend's company. Apply 485 when EB2 becomes current for March 2005. Hopefully I will get my GC in an year and I join company B.
2. Join company B on EAD (or H1) and ask them to re-start my GC process under EB2. Issue with this is it may take a long time for my GC as PERM is taking longer nowaways.
3. Continue with my present employer and get my GC in 2020!..
Request your advice on the best course of action for me. Appreciate your help.

Our lawyer had posted our application on July 2nd and we had our fingerprinting scheduled for 21st august which was completed.
I checked my status on the USCIS site for the very first time today. And it says. "On July 30, 2007, we received this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case" . Can anyone kindly explain me what this means ( how July 30th and what mail are they talking about ?we never received any! ) ...

We had the same situation with my wife's H1-B. We spoke to the lawyer and he had forwarded us an e-mail reply from USCIS, stating that USCIS had decided to issue the validity of 797 from the date of adjudication or approved date rather than from the previous expired h1B date and this is not happening across all the cases. I also have applied at the same time as my wife's h1 and My h1b dates are matching.
