I received my FP notice. My Lawyer also received my FP notice which he mailed it to me. Now I have two copies. Which copy should I carry for my FP appointment? Does it matter?
TIA
Doesnt matter which copy you bring. Attend the FP that is important. They will stamp your notice and sign it. Keep that copy for your records

I understand that the chance is slim.... almost microscopic :rolleyes: But I need to prepare for the worst case (or is it the best...?? :confused:) hence the question.
Any idea about how long consular processing takes and does it depend on priority dates (in the case of a further retrogression)?
Thanks for the input, will keep a close watch on the visa bulletin and keep my wife's return trip options open.
Thanks again.

Does this mean I can port the PD even if I moving from a technical position to a managerial position in a different company. of course I know one has to file a new perm and I140 with the new company.
I think you can - however, please get some legal consultation for that from a good lawyer.

Friends .. Please reply/suggest as its very urgent to take decision. Thanks!!
Hi,
I applied I-140 using substituted labor(13th July 2007, receipt no yet to come) on future employment basis ..
Since, USCIS has allowed filing for I-485, I wanted to file my I485, with my future employer but he is not ready to file I485 until I come to his payroll.
I need your valuable suggestions to make my decision, my questions are:
1. If I want to join on his payroll, I have to leave my existing company/Client, so that I485 can be filed ... Should I agree for this? what's your opinion???
2.How safe do you think, idea of leaving my current established long term client and finding new client through him , for filing i485 purpose ?
3. Also, I am not sure about how/when my labor substitution will be approved? And in worst case, if it gets rejected, where I am going to be( I completed 3.5 years on my H1 visa which means I have 2.5 years remaining in my 6 year)???
5.What are the benefits (and in what timeframe) I can expect if I decide to file I485 now ?
Many Thanks in Advance!!

In my humble opinion, I think we all should write more to the main stream media about our stories targeting such as New York Times, public opinion column.
They may ignore us, but they will begin to be interested as volume increases. I haven't done it myself but I will try.
Those out there with a good English writing skills, please write more to main stream media.
I think a little story in the newspaper with a big readership may influence and change the way people think little by little.

Probably he is talking about the conditional green card one gets after marrying a US citizen
In this case, I guess there is only two options. Either wait patiently or lose the GC. Even after getting the GC there is certain time period. If the person file for divorce, it will trigger investigation and there is a chance to revoke the GC.
If she desparately wants GC the only way is to work out with her husband.
anyway check with the lawer.

How does this effect anyone applying for DL..
http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20081800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/08-140.htm
Are we going to get temporary DLs from now on?
Can someone confirm? I know IV is following up with MI state Attorney Generals office, but from reading the ruling the validity of the license is not clear.
Here is a response to a comments by DHS..Looks like for most of us whose i94 will be expired but have filed an application like 485 whic is pending..hence the lawful end date of stay is indeterminate - the license will be 1 year only...bummer
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comment: Numerous States expressed concern that the current
processing time involved in USCIS review of applications for various
immigration statuses impacted by REAL ID will result in a large number
of applicants who wish to renew their licenses but their applications
to extend their status has not been acted on by USCIS within the year.
Two States suggested that States issue interim documents that would be
valid for very short periods until an applicant receives his or her
permanent document demonstrating lawful status. Another commenter
suggested that such an interim card be based on the applicant's visa
until authorization is received and verified through SAVE, which should
be programmed to contact the querying State when there is an updated
applicant status. One commenter recommended that the rule allow States
to use a license expiration date 90 days beyond the expiration date of
the immigration document to allow for USCIS processing of applications
to extend lawful status. Commenters said that individuals in certain
statuses will not be able to comply with the requirement to present
documentation showing extended lawful status upon renewal because in
most cases, their statuses will not have been extended but merely
continued.
Response: Again, State DMVs will use the SAVE system, and not
particular documentation, to determine that the license applicant is in
lawful status. An application that is properly filed with USCIS
entitles the person to remain in lawful status beyond the period listed
on the person's Form I-94 or other immigration document, that
information is reflected in the SAVE system. Thus, aliens in these
situations would be able to obtain REAL ID-compliant licenses and
States would not have to add any additional processes with USCIS.

Yr employer is correct. You can't apply for SSN before OCT 1st as yr H1 starts from OCT 1st. When you go to SSN office, they look at yr current i-94 to find out yr current immigrant status (H1/H4/L1,etc) and if you current i-94 is for H4 then they won't allow you to apply for SSN. I had same exp for my wife. We applied on 2nd Oct in VA.
Hope this helps.
I checked with my employer, they mentioned that I cannot apply for SSN before Oct 1 and would only be eligible post Oct 1. Any ideas !

I'm puzzled that there has been a slow reaction to the Bernie Sander's killer amendment that was disguised as a scholarship fund which has always been there and has benefited many Americans and the National Science Foundation. None of the faxes have been amended neither have the emails, we're asking for good things which are only likely to benefit a few but leave many others in peril. We need to find a way to cushion the effect of this amendment and at the same time highlight that the H1 program is not what it has been vilified to be.
Point is, if IV attains its goals on EB visas, there will still be many members affected by Bernie Sander's amendment. Of what use will visa number availability be to someone whose non H1-B dependent employer makes an economic decision to lay them off as they can longer afford to spend $250,000 a year + attorney fees renewing 50 H1-B's ? Given that this person would instantly be out of status (and find it difficult to find an employer rushing to spend $5k right away), the individual would have no recourse also given that they would not be eligible for a Z visa. Can someone help me understand why sticking to an old though good strategy and message without slightly adapting it to the current reality holds good promise for those in limbo by paying no attention to the effects of the Sander's amendment (pending at BEC, beyond 6th year renewal, I-140 not filed as of May 21st 2007 etc)
1. Any H1B issues affect employers more than the employees, so employers will make an issue out of any onerous requirement.
2. Any H1B fee is to be paid by the employer and is viewed as a tax and cost of doing business by the employer. Like any tax, it will mean cutbacks in other areas possibly existing charitable contributions to education or some such non essential cost.
I would expect Compete America and employers to speak up if they feel they would be affected by any H1B taxes.

I personally think, contacting lawyer for tracking number is not breach of contract.
Try your HR first, give some time. Then sseend a decent reminder - tell them how important it is say ur wife has to travel etc...
Then send some pleasant emails to lawyer office, call them. Copy your HR also.

Quetions to Gurus. I did read in so many forums since long time but did not get a clear understanding around salary.
1) What is the meaning of "There should not be very huge variance in income levels."
Does it mean while moving from one job to another (1 time)?
2) What if the GC is filed 8 years ago and the person is still waiting but got an average of
10% hike every year. Is that a problem?
Generally speaking: There is NOTHING in the INA nor AC-21 that prohibits one from getting salary increases. As long as you do at your work what is consistent with the approved form I-140, you salary can go up, and in normal circumstances, should go up periodically. I think what the previous member mentioned was that if, for instance, your wage specified on labor and I-140 was going to be 50k/year, u changed employers and is 150k/year, that can raise a question whether or not u do the same thing as u did before, and if your job duties still match with your approved form I-140. Having said that, regular salary changes are not a problem as long as you earn more than the prevailing wage determination. I hope this answers your both questions.

Guys,
Don�t spread false information if you don�t know.
Possibility -- Yes
Reusing the priority date for EB2 -- you may need to file one more I -140 for EB2 and then once approved with earlier priority date then you can proceed with 485 if current.
Some people are filing I-485 if any of their PD is current and trying to convince the service center. Check in immigrationportal.com you will find more information.
