Fed Ex is Good, never had any trouble with them

I understand that the surrounding politico-activities are important, it was just the title of the thread "LIAR...." which drew my attention as if it was something related to IV/immigraition reforms of utmost concern. After reading the content it was not anywheres close to it.

However I appreciate the information posted.

Anybody knows how USCIS will process un signed I-140 Petition? I filed for Labor substituion and I-140. I forgot to sign the I-140 petition.

May I know the implications of this? What all are the possibilities ? Will they reject the application?

If I remember correctly, I signed only one form for 140 and that was G-28, I believe. I did not sign actual 140 form...for sure. My 140 petition was accepted on July 10 and received 797 receipt on July 16. BTW, mine was not Labor substitution.

I have tried this and I got my application returned. I know one more person in this forum has tried and was not successful.
I think that EB3 has to be approved(not just applied) before EB2 approval

Yes EB3 140 has to be approved and file Eb2 140 by attaching EB3 approval notice. I did it in same way and got EB2 140 approved with Eb3 PD on it.

OK why dont we have that link that shows about bills anymore?? I mean on the home page...was that intentionally removed?

We removed the link and the thread. Announcing the bills in advance did not have its desired effect and motivation in members to help themselves by supporting it.

We saw members discussing the issue to its death and shooting themselves in the foot by criticizing it rather than trying to work together to get more support for it.

IV has successfully done lobby day this week. Many members from Trstate and Texas were in DC and lobbied for admin fixes as well. Some state chapter members even contributed to pay for the expenses of members that traveled to DC.

Our Lobbyists are also working on pushing the bills forward. We are privy to the details on all bills and will announce on the forum at a later date. It is time for members to help themselves by supporting the initiatives by IV and strengthen the organization.

For Wife
Filed 485 on March 10, Finger printing May 6th, GC Approved May 9th, GC received May 13th

My Wife was on EAD/OPT based on her student visa (and not on H4)

Was it current for you on March 1st

I have been working for a University for the last 3 yrs(2005-2008). The H1 they have is quota exempted and is non transferable. In 2006 a consultant A offered me a job and filed for H1b in the quota it has got approved.But due to certain reasons i have not joined them and still continued it the university job. In 2008 i got an another job oppurtunity with an another consultant B. They filed a H1 transfer from company A to Company B ,showing my university h1 that i am still in status.This H1 application by company B got denied and i have left the university job. Can i join the company A because they have an H1 approved in my name in oct 2006. I contacted consultant A and they still have not cancelled the H1 they have in my name.

the reason for denial was regarding the Company B , they were saying that Company B doesnt qualify as a employer or agent so cannot employ me

Thank you for the help

Hi,

I have a serious problem and I am not sure what would be the solution. My wife came on H4 in 2001 and we applied for H1B and we got an approval which was valid until Oct 2006. But, in Mar 2006, due to some personal reasons we applied for COS from H1B to H4 and we got H4 approval which was valid until Aug 27, 2006. Before the expiry of H4 status in August 2006, we decided to apply for H1B and since her H1B was valid until Oct 2006, our attorney applied for H1B under I-539 and they didn't apply for H4 extension simultaneously. Meanwhile, while the H1B was in process, we applied for premium processing later which added few problems. We got an RFE on this case and our attorney answered it by sending appropriate docs but again we got a second RFE which is not answered yet.

Right now she is out of status and also, what will happen if her H1 is rejected and is it possible to apply for H4 right now, since it was expired in Aug 2006. If her H1 is rejected, can we apply for H4 even though her H4 was expired few months back or she has leave the country. Please help us out.

Thanks & Regards,

IMHO The problem will arise with USCIS only if the employer does not pay AT ALL ... delayed/irregular payments (as long as they meet the proffered wage on the LCA) should be fine. Not paying at all will be a serious breach of contract and the employers will be in serious trouble for doing that ....



What I meant to say is, I did not get paid in 2007 for the work I performed in 2007. But I got paid last month for the pay periods (up to 12/15/07). So that amount will reflect in this year's W2 and not last year's.

Like you had rightly said in your last para, I am concerned if USCIS would have a problem about the fact that I did not gt paid and receive a W2 even though I worked on H1-B in 2007. When they process my I-485, I am afraid this might come up as a query.

I am going to talk to the lawyers about this. I would like to know how this situation can be addressed today as the damage has already been done.

Hi,

Recently, I applied for H1 extension (change of employer) at Mumbai COnsulate. The Visa officer said all my documents are good but still issued me a yellow form that says that administrative process is required for my case. She gave me back my passport and the yellow form. The application is pending.

I have a valid EAD and AP. Is it possible for me to abandon the H1 process and enter US on EAD and AP.

I am looking for legal expertise here.

Thanks.


Well, yes you can certainly abandon H-1 process & come back on EAD/AP. However, I would try some other consulate first like Hyderabad or Delhi. I believe since you have gone for H-1 extension, you can go to pretty much any consulate in India.

My friend was issued a yellow form 221g or something @ Toronto Consulate. He went to Delhi & got his visa stamped. No questions asked.

But you should wait to check if its PIMS delay. PIMS delays are generally resolved in 2 -3weeks.

Are you saying we can submit past works?

It depends. What is the reason for the denial? Usually notice of denial says whether you can appeal or not.

...but could be due to unavailability of visa numbers for EB2-I in September. So even though the ported PD of Nov 2004 is current in September, the October visa bulletin has clarified that the EB2-I numbers were actually unavailable in September. See below:

E. EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY

Item E of the May 2008 Visa Bulletin (number 118, volume VIII) indicated that many Employment cut-off dates had been advancing very rapidly, based on indications that the Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) would need to review a significantly larger pool of applicants than there were numbers available in order to maximize number use under the FY-2008 annual limits. That item also indicated that if the CIS projections proved to be incorrect, it would be necessary to adjust the cut-off dates during the final quarter of FY-2008. The CIS estimates have proven to be very high resulting in: 1) the “unavailability” of all Employment Third preference categories beginning in July, 2) the “unavailability” of numbers for China and India Employment Second preference adjustment of status cases during September, and 3) the establishment of many October Employment cut-off dates which are earlier than those which applied during FY-2008.

Little if any forward movement of the cut-off dates in most Employment categories is likely until the extent of the CIS backlog of old priority dates can be determined. It is estimated that the FY-2009 Employment-based annual limit will be very close to the 140,000 minimum.

Hi Friends,

Here is a Story:
1) My First H1 and (My wife H4) the I94's Expired on 30-Sep-08
2) Same Employer Applied for H1 Extension on Notice Date: June 17th 2008
3) RFE received on 10/05 with Employer and My Information (List of all the H1's with Receipts Numbers and W2's, Key Persons in Company, SubContract Or Project Information, Client Letter and My Recent Paystubs and My W2's and My Bank Statements)
4) Lawyer rpelied the RFE and Received by USCIS on Nov18th 2008
5) After 60 Days, Opened an SR with USCIS on 01/23/09
6) Received an Email of Denial Notice on 01/29/09
7) Reason for Denial is not Known

FYI:
1) Filed I-140 EB3 India on May 7th 2007 and RFE on Master Completion Date and Responded to RFE with New Credential Evaluation. FINALLY APPROVED I-140 on Jan 12th 2009. I didn't filed 485/EAD/AP.

Questions:
1) If I open MTR, are we (Me and My Wife) in Status?

2) How much time normally takes to accept MTR

3) How long we (Me and My Wife) can stay in USA?

4) Can I make a transfer and do a premium processing with More than 2 Companies After or Before MTR Opens?

5) Can I continue the current project After I apply MTR?

6) Can I start working with Company B While H1 Transfer is pending?

7) Do I have to wait until its Transfer gets approved Or MTR Approved?

8) What are the chances of approvals in Premium processing in Current Market

9) Can company B apply for H4 Extension Along with H1 Transfer?

I appreciate if you can let us know about other possibilities now.

Please respond at the earliest

Thanks

AILA is collecting information in an effort to work with USCIS to identify adjustment of status applications that may be approvable as of October 1, 2008, when new visa numbers become available. The focus of this effort is those adjustment of status cases, which are approvable under the February 4, 2008, security check memo by Michael Aytes. (See http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=24522)

This information is being gathered for liaison purposes only in an attempt to identify and improve processing of cases covered by the February Aytes memo, and though the information will be provided to the USCIS for analysis, neither the AILA-USCIS Liaison Committee nor the USCIS will be contacting the attorney of record or the parties in direct response to information provided.

If your client has an adjustment of status pending over one year and is currently subject to a backlog but was current under the June 2008 Visa Bulletin, we would like to hear from you. Please fill out the following survey.

My papers reached my lawyer only on 3rd. So, she didnt file at that time. Yesterday, she asked me if we can apply to become a part of lawsuit. I said OK. My file was sent to uscis yesterday by fedex. Since, I have spent 1000$ already on medical and other stuffs, just thought, why not give it a shot.

I would ask you guys to consider filing especially if your PD is in 2005 or later.

Dark Child has no votes, someones gotta vote for him, hes got a really good layout.
yeah i thought it was gonna be between him, paddy, and me

Ganguteli,
I am sorry to say this, why do you always try to create controversy. If you don't want to answer you should have kept quiet. No hard feelings my friend. I know that there is not a definite answer for my question, but I have posted here just to take expertise from our friends from their previous experiences. Lets say if you are going for a visa, don't you do your homework instead of leaving everything to the mercy of the officer?
If you look at my personal perspective, I am trying to be careful during these hard times.

No hard feelings. Take it in lighter vein. The question caught my attention.
