No. Once it has expired, it has expired. The DOL implemented the 180 day rule in July 2007, and since then, all cases have been subjected to it. I have not heard of any exceptions to this rule.
Hello,
I am from India. My employer had applied for PERM EB2 labor while my old EB3 labor was still pending. My EB3 labor, with priority date of MAR 2005, was approved before July fiasco and I was able to apply for 485/EAD/AP/etc.
Last August (2007), my PERM labor was approved too; I had the chance to file a new I140 and request interfiling with my existing 485 application. But my lawyer suggested me not file a new I140 and we let the approved EB2 labor expire.
Now, I am having second thoughts, as I did then. Is there any way I can use the old expired labor (> 180 days after approval). I know I cannot use it directly to file I140, but are there any ancillary benefits of having an approved, albeit expired labor? I am thinking of either checking with my employer if they can file a new EB2 PERM labor if I qualify, or switching my jobs.
Thanks.

If you are on speaking terms, and she is in USA, then consider extending an olive branch to her. You can always extend the olive branch after you get a receipt notice for your I485.
I think that she can file as a dependant separately, using your receipt notice, so you don't have to decide before filing. It would be unusual, but I think possible. That approach may have several advantages.

Hi
I completed my 6th year H1B in April 2010 and am currently on a 7th year extension based on a pending PERM application with my current employer.
I am currently considering taking an offer from a new employer who is willing to process my H1b transfer and my question is:
1) Is it possible to transfer a 7th year extension to a new employer given that PERM will still be pending?
2) If yes, will I need to give them any evidence regarding the pending PERM as I don't have any document on it except the receipt number from DOL.
3) My current H1b expiration date is in April 2011. If the new employer files for an H1b transfer in July 2010, will I get the same H1b expiration date or a new one (i.e. July 2011)?
This is important in my case because my wife who is currently a LPR will be eligible to become a US Citizen in June 2011 and I will likely not need to go through the PERM process.
Any advice on the above will help a lot.
Thank you!!!!!

The Office of the Ombudsman is usually best addressed through 'non named' communication. By nature of the profession, Ombudsmen as neutral third parties and hence influence greater effects without direct name association. This is a technicality in the ADR/mediation profession.
For those who'd be more comfortable addressing Mr. , by all means no harm, no foul.
In any case, the Office of the Ombudsman in this can can be a POWERFUL resource because it can enable the Govt and USCIS Officials to take corrective action and place motivation on the Ombudsman instead of themselves. Thats how most bureaucracies work, find the person to pin the tail on and play the game.

Post MBA (since Jun'06), I am working with a new employer. My previous employer (bachelor degree), filed for my labor in Nov'04 and I left this company in Jun'06; howevr employer didn't withdrew my labor application. My labor with previous employer was approved in Feb'07. I have good relation with my previous employer and they are ready to file my I-140; I have few questions regarding this:
Can my previous employer file I-140, even if I am not working with them?
If I-140 is approved, would I able to transfer the PD to my new employer, when he initiates my labor application.
Once I transfer my PD, can my previous employer use this approved LC for other candidate?
Based on my new qualifications (MBA), my job description has changed totally compared to my previous job.
Thanks in advance..

My fiance came to the US from Mexico on a short term Visitors Visa more than 14 years ago and did not return to Mexico when it expired. No extensions were ever applied for. She has been working and paying taxes since shortly after coming to the US. I am a US born citizen, and have an income capable of sponsering her. Her own employment record is quite good as well. I understand that there would likely be an interview process which we should easily pass since we have had a lengthy multi-year relationship.
1) What are the steps for legalizing her status after we are married?
2) Will she be required to stop working while her application is considered?
3) Would she be required to leave the country during processing?
3) What is the average time required to go through the process?
4) What are the restrictions on her traveling outside the US during/after the process of legalizing her status?
I will be seekign an immigration lawyer to nail this down and start the process, but need a framework of the process and considerations, so we can get through this as easily as possible.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Ramesh,
Online case status is often incorrect, incomplete, or out-of-date. I would say it is correct about 70% of the time. That leaves a lot of room for error. Please don't think it will "save you" for being late on an RFE response.
You should not think everything is OK simply because online case status fails to mention the RFE being issued. (By the same token, you should not necessarily panic if online case status never acknowledges receipt of your RFE response, even though you have proof from FedEx that you sent it.)
As Elaine Martin said, the overwhelming odds are that your application will be denied due to the RFE deadline being missed by such a great deal. However, what is there to lose at this point by trying? Try to have the attorney explain as best s/he can the reason for the delay, and hopefully CIS will accept the late response. But be prepared for the likely denial.

does that mean no hope left ? what r the other options ? isn't this whole process is for future employment and if i am licensed now than whats the problem in future employment i don't understand that part "future employment". i am on h1 now and if i will get my residency than i will be working at that position and i am licensed now. then why does the old date matters.
is it true guys ??
Because the LC is for a particular qualiication that needs to have happenned at that time - would it be ok if they calculate a new LC salary by adding the inflation?

Friend,
Just went thorugh this 3 weeks ago. Same case as yours both for me and my wife. Wrong date stamped on my I-94 while returning from India.
Called the local international airport cutoms division and they made me come down to the airport and after showing the correct documentation issued new I-94 cards with correct I94 dates. Try this and you should face no problems i hope.
I'm from Michigan and i went to the Metro airport in detroit.

The job does not need to require Masters degree. Unlike Greencard filing under EB2 vs EB3 it is not any harder to get H1 under Masters quota, all you need is Masters from accredited univ. You need to figure out what the RFE is for.

Arent you allowed to apply for OPT only after you express ur desire to "graduate"?
if that is the case that means you have completed ur studies.
The other option would be enroll for a second MS...and try to go find a job on CPT?
i would not travel out on a OPT...
if you really want to travel...travel when ur F1 is valid.
Hi,
My F1 visa (I got 2 yr student visa for Fall 2007) expires in May 2009. I applied for OPT and starting date is June 1st 2009. Since my F1 visa stamping is expiring, what is my possibility of visiting India after May ’09? Is there any possibility of extending my F1 Visa for another couple of yrs without leaving the country and continue on my OPT? Or any other suggestions? Please help me..

Excellent words Ragz,
However i have found that motivating Desis is like milking a male buffalo (no offence to our fellow desis helping out on Immigration Voice.
There is just too much inertia, plain negativity, fear of being prosecuted etc. Besides WAYYY too many ppl like to sit on the fence and wait it out, see which way things swing and then take action at the last minute.
Also this might be a good time to mention community support. The Illegals, to the best of my knowledge get a good amt of community support. To the extent that even amnesty bills are introduced. Try getting the Local Indian communities to help. Most will give u long talks and suggestions, but Few will open their wallets.

Philip Wolgin lists on Huffington Post his ideas for smaller items Congress could consider since CIR is effectively dead. Some are obvious, but others less so. They are 1. DREAM Act 2. AgJobs 3. Make the EB-1 category more reasonable. 4. Create a more reasonable bar on those accused of providing material support to terrorists to cover those essentially involuntarily providing the support. 5. Eliminate the one year bar on asylum claims.

I remember reading if you travel outside the country while your AP is pending, it will be considered abandoned and you may not receive approval or any refund.
Check with your attorney
This is unfortunately a little incorrect advise. H1B is a dual intent visa, which means it can be held TOGETHER with your AOS or 485.
As long as you use your H1B to travel, you are fine.
