I strongly discourage the word "Attroney" for everything. Just because of memebers like kriskris these Attroney's are living lavishly. What the heck these Attroneys know that we don't know. Don't we know how to write our names? Don't we know how to fill an application form? Please stop saying "Attroney" for everything. These are not complex things. Please note according to one survey 70% of Americans don't know how to fill Bank application. Attroneys are just making the money out of this situation.
Yes, I agree Attroney's are required for quite complex things..but not for H1 extension, I-485, H1 stamping etc etc. Glad that we could able to eradicate Attroney culture completely for H1B stamping. I eagarly look forward the same situation to applying for H1, I-485 etc in the future ...
Please help above member how to apply H1 extension if you know..Please stop using the sentence "Contact your Attroney".
Hi H1Girl,
Please go back and read my post again. I didn't use the word attorney at all. Please make sure your point is clear before raising a finger on someone. All i am educating him is to file through his employer. In fact i don't personally like attorneys. When i filed my 485 on July 2, i filled the entire application by doing my own research and all my attorney did was signing it. Just to sign it also she said she was busy and she didn't file my EAD/AP.

Are you aware of July 2nd visa bulletin fiasco. It affected atleast 5-7 00 000 foreign workers each getting a loss of 3-4 000 dollars. DOS and USCIS played a bad game.
Can you http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/06/us/06visa.html investigate and give us more details
Thanks

My uncles GC's and Indian passports were stolen a few years back. it took them 6 months to get a new card, you cannot leave the country. Other than that they did not have major issues. File a police report keep copies of the report and all correspondence in safe deposit box. As a precaution put a hold on your credit at the 3 credit agencies.
Hi All,
We are devastated. We got robbed last weekend. We lost everything including our green cards. After 6 years of wait, we got the cards in May. Unfortunately, we did not make any photocopies. We applied for replacement of cards using I-90 forms. Has anyone been in such a situation ?
Please help us with any suggestions.
Thanking you all.

filing ar-11 is mandatory so please do it.........
also if your new job meets all the legal requirements then getting a RFE should not be an issue just a nag........
I my experience RFE is generated in one of the following 2 cases:
1. Filing AC21( I am against filing it as long its not requested by USCIS as its not mandatory and sometimes just triggers unwanted attention to your case......
2. If your 140 is revoked by the previous employer....in this case you can bet that an RFE is going to be generated for sure if not worse like NOID etc...........In this case actually filing AC 21 might be a better option......
Above is just my experience and every case is different....this is not legal advice in any way........
if you want more clarifications feel free to PM me........
but again file your AR-11 RFE or not............its mandatory.......

Here is what I can advise
1) Get all the supporting documentation that you have for both cases. Example tickets/ citations, fine receipts, any other docs related to the case you can find. make sure you make photo copies of all documents
2) Get a court dispositon documents for both cases to prove that the cases are closed and fine was paid
3) Make sure you run all these documents past your immigration attorney to ensure nothing is missing. Also get in touch with your lawyers that handled the DUI & other case to see if they can help you with paperwork
4) If you are not comfortable defending you case you can take an attorney with you. That is entirely optional thing.
5) No one on this forum or immigration officer has any moral right to tell you what you did was good or bad. Its the job of courts and they have already made you pay fine. So as long as you can furnish all relevant papers that these cases are closed you are fine with your immigration process.
Thanks for the comment!
I've done the entire process on my own untill today. I also did not have any lawyers involved in any of the misdemeanors. I do have documentation of all the cases. All cases are closed and I'm just paying the fines and have to put up with the probation. I spoke to a lawyer (first time I met with him) today and he advise me to pay him $600 to accompany me to the interview.
Any take on the lawyer's advice? Or can I take the challenge on my own?

I just wanted to bump this and get people's opinion on what paper work and other things we should be aware of by not changing the employers who sponsered our green card, but have applied for 485, have I-140 approved (180 days passed since I-140 approval and I-485 receipt dates) and received EAD/AP.
I guess lot of people are in this category. So far, the only advise I have seen is: Extend H1 instead of using EAD.
You have understand the pros and cons for H1 vs EAD
H1:
1. Expensive
2. If for some reason there is an RFE or for that matter any thing, you can always fall back on h1 and then fight for your case
3. if employer revokes I 140 in your case (it would not affect) but you know uscsis. so be careful and H1 helps
EAD:
1. Flexibility
2. more options
3. you can be out of status
4. no employer problems
5. if you have gap, when you extend. then you will be out of job
6. you cannot fall back on H1
so you need to decide.
good luck

All State is saying is that they are giving EB2-India a total of 2987 visas. They didn't care about spill over and slow consumption by ROW. They are still acting stupid but this time they are trying to show reasoning for their stupidity. If this report had a consumption of visas till date for FY10 like in a dash board, then they would have seen their own stupidity clearly.

For me, my attorney's filed successor in interest I-140 after I filed I-485 due to merger. I faced no issues with this process and you can request them to file the same at your end. This did not affect my I-485.
Thanks
Do you know if your successor in interest i-140 has been approved

my fiancee has F-1 visa too, but we are getting married next month so excited. should i ask my employer to apply for us the same time?
Yes, if she wants to change from F-1. She might want to stay in F-1 status as long as she can, especially since she can get work authorization.
i don't know how is this work, and how much is the f-1 to h-4 status change costs.
That depends on the lawyer, Filing fees are $300
if i get denied, she will be denied too
Yes
but if she gets denied, will i get denied?
No, not necessarily
in other word, is filing both visa same time affect the chance of getting approved?
I've done thousands of H-1B and H-4 cases filed together. It's very common.
u guys know the odds of getting approved on h1b from non profit organization these days?
If the job meets the H-1B criteria, and you do also, you should be fine.

Hi Gurus please advice,
My 140 was approved in 2007 ,but today i got email from USCIS ,
Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Case Transfered to Another Office for Processing
On May 12, 2009, we transferred this case I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER to our LINCOLN, NE location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow the instructions provided on the notice. We will notify you by mail when a decision is made. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 to update your address. You can use our processing dates to estimate when your case may be processed by following the link below. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case by registering in the link below.
Any idea, what would be the possible reason for this? Please advice.
BTW I recently applied for EAD extension.
I suggest you call the number given. Seems to me there was a mistake.
I remember getting a similar email for H1B some 2-3 years back even though my H1 was approved and I already received the I797. No issues though, they just sent another I797. :)
I guess this can happen if their Database was restored to an older backup. So they had to go thru some of the processing again.

I used AP thrice and renewed my H1 twice after entering using AP without any issues.
Thanks
nlssubbu, its amazing that you still check IV and answer other's questions. I got my first AP and i travelled once and after coming back renewned my H1B and now i am thinking of applying for AP renewal. Can you please tell me if I can travel while the AP renewal application pending? The instructions in I-131 form says, the application will be abondoned if the person leaves the country after filing I-131.

My thoughts:
My RIR labor was filed under EB-3 in Aug 02 tho' I originally gave all the papers in Jan 02 to the attorney and pleaded that my case be filed under EB-2. He refused to do so saying that I did not meet the prevailing wage for EB-3 (I was about 20% below it according to him). I knew my friends who graduated along with me from a local Univ. in '98 had all filed for EB-2 and couldn't have been making a whole lot more $ than I was. Anyways my labor took about 13 months thru Chicago and was approved. Was it a good decision to go with EB-3 instead of EB2 and avoid the risk of labor denial? Maybe/maybe not. I ended up being stuck in 485 processing for 4 years because of this Eb-3 decision. Out of desperation we were about to refile for EB2 Perm labor after going through the ads when things became current for me in May. EB-2 I would have gotten the approval 3 years ago.
You most likely will meet the prevailing wage by the time the G.C comes thru and the GC is after all for a future offer. Is there any way you can refile under Perm labor? I've heard Perm takes 2 months with an efficient lawyer and a supportive employer. Perhaps you can somehow use the same PD and refile under Perm? With AC21 you can change jobs and will surely meet the prevailing wage.
