Hi,
I posted the same information on FREE answers to questions from an Immigration Lawyer.
Here is my issue regarding the PD.
My Employer applied for labor through RIR under EB2 March6th 2004 which was then transffered to Philadelphia Backlog Center. Our Attorney suggested that we Apply through PERM process and Retain PD from the old case. Converted to PERM and applied on 09/26/2006 which was approved on 12/29/2006 but the letter said that they are not retaining PD from the old application as address is changed. Our employer moved 1 street accross in between these to application in Feb 2006. only street address changed everything including phone number remained same. My attorney said that he talked to the labor department in Chicago telling them that phone number didn't change. They said they will consider it and asked him to send a letter. It has been over 15 months he send the first letter. He said last month he also received a call from chicago office saying that they will take a look at the files.
In the meantime applied for I-140 and I-485 concurrently in July/Aug 2007. I-140 got approved on 05/28/2008 and got RFE for I-485 on 06/13/2008. responded to RFE and now case process resumed.
At this point I am trying to see if anyone have this kinda of issue and got resolved or there is away to get this resolved.
thank you

If u transfer within 30 days of getting ur new H1, u probably don't need paystubs. You can initiate the trasfer (premium) and wait for the approval and then quit from the current company. That way u'll be safe.

Since there are lot of ppl here who have had EAD/AP for years ...
Do you know if USCIS lets you petition for renewal of EAD/AP only 4 months before expiry? Our legal assistant says that they can not apply for renewal until its 4 months to expiry. I was under the impression that we could apply six months in advance. Can someone post a USCIS link that provides a definitive answer?
Thanks

If you have a receipt as proof that an extension application was filed on your behalf before expiration of your H1 then you have 240 days starting from the day your visa expires before you should get an extension. You will be out of status if your case is not resolved in the 240 days deadline. I cannot comment on the implications of missing out on a deadline for responding to the RFE.

We did it twice and never was asked for w2. Just recent pay stubs will do. Just have all of them - if asked.
My wife came here on h4 then got her h1, got it stamped. worked for two years. Went back to h4 for couple of years when we had our baby. Got h1 and stamped again. All we submitted were just the required (listed documents in the site).
Hope this helps.

that is available to applicants in research (such as doctoral students).
Murthy.com has information here:
MurthyDotCom : Employment-Based Immigration (http://murthy.com/eb1opr.html)
Additionally, you can always apply in EB1 Extraordinary Ability if you have outstanding qualifications (almost matching that of a Nobel Prize Winner or you are the top of your industry).
EB1-EA tips (http://bit.ly/dophyK) (<= Look here for tips)
Just a mere Doctoral degree does not get you qualified for EB1. You need the publications as well as recommendation letters from industry experts. :)

Hello all,
Is there any california chapter esp in Nor Cal.
We have to unite EB3 Guys and strike hard!!!
I have heard that next bulletin might bring breaking news for EB3I community but still we cannot keep relying on VBs.
It is like going to Jyotish for knowing future.
EB2 Guys, you should also help us even though if you are getting GCs faster...
Please provide me information on California chapter. I have just joined IV.
I believe it is high time to fight back.
(btw if anybody wants to have vonage $24.99, please let me know. I can refer you)

They expire after a certain amount of time. Just go take them as they want you to. You don't want anything to get delayed in the future just because you don't want to be bothered with them today.

Are people getting soft lud on 485 recently?.
The reason why i am asking this is my 485 did not have any LUD for past 1 year and i got one today for all my 485(mine,dependents). 140 did not have any LUD only 485s. No AP,EAD renewals..
I know from previous threads it means nothing. Just wanted to check. Was trying to not post about this but at last i posted.
My wife got RFE after this LUD, Mine and my kid's no change. Waiting for RFE details. I think since the processing time for Texas is Aug 2007 they are pre adjusting the apps, i guess.

Mr Sauer:
Thank you so much for your response. Need a litle clarification on I-824. Can I file I-824 before my I-485 gets approved? If so, how can i request alternate chargeability to my spouse's country with out her I-485?
If not what is the best way to claim alterate chargeability to my Spouse country of birth. Gues I have to bring bring my family on H4 and submit I-485 in US or switch to consular processsing. Is there any other possible way other than these 2 procedures?
Regards

I am not sure about the answer. It depends on how close you are to finding the new position. Once you find a new position, speak with attorney for new company. In worst case can always do H1 extension in premium. If I were you, I would just have a hard dead line of say April end. If I dont find a new job by then, would just file for extension in premium.

This clearly shows - that this article has been at the behest of /or lobbied by the business community and industry leaders.
Because all they want is more H1-B workers. If we put in the same effort to talk about EB - and greencards and educate reporters, we would have articles written that would highlight our concerns.

It looks like it has been transferred to NSC. Probably because your AOS is filed there, but more likely because you're from a region administered by NSC. Could you please confirm if that's the case. 450+ days is just ridiculous, but hope this change is one in the right direction.
Hi Guys,
I filed my EB3 I-140 to TSC in June 2006 and it is still pending (yes..really more than 450 days and counting...) Then in July 2007, I filed my AOS with NSC. Today, I got an email from CRIS stating that
Application Type: I140 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: This case has been sent to another office for processing.
On September 4, 2007, we transferred this I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER to our LINCOLN, NE location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.
It is transferred to NSC because my AOS is filed with NSC? Have any one had this status change in the past? After this, how long did it tak to get your I-140 approved?
I am just curious because can I feel happy that atleast some progress? As you know, I am waiting for my I-140 for more than a year...

See it does not matter who files, out of state or local. Main thing is if an RFE comes, will your company be willing to give him all details.............. you have to understand, with new attorney it is just you who is filing at the moment, so for just one case will the company give all his financial details (if asked for).

Attorney Eugenia Ponce recently wrote a blog post here (http://www.immigration-law-answers-blog.com/2009/07/immigration-law/immigration-rights/lawful-permanent-residents-keep-trips-abroad-relatively-short/) cautioning Lawful Permanent Residents to keep their trips abroad relatively short. Here is the text of that post:
Lawful permanent residents (LPR) of the United States (green card holders) need to keep their trips abroad to a relatively short period of time. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) could determine that an LPR has abandoned their residence if the LPR’s intent was not to return to the U.S. within a relatively short period of time.
Factors DHS could consider in evaluating the LPR’s intent include:
Whether the trip abroad is lengthy or for a short period of time;
LPR’s family ties in the U.S.;
property holding in the U.S.;
business affiliations within the U.S.;
LPR’s family, property, and business ties in the foreign country.
After that was posted, we were asked what exactly we meant by the term "relatively short." Of course the answer, as always, depends on several factors. But here is a further explanation from Ms. Ponce:
What a "relatively short period of time" is can't be defined in terms of elapsed time alone. Generally, lawful permanent residents (LPR) can use their green cards to return to the United States after a temporary absence not exceeding one year. The most important factor in concluding whether an LPR abandoned his or her U.S. residence is to look at the LPR's actual intent to return to the United States after a short trip, along with the other factors such as property, business, and family ties inside the U.S. and in the foreign country. An LPR returning to the U.S. once a year for a few days doesn't "automatically revalidate" a green card in a situation in which the lawful permanent resident has actually been residing abroad.
