newyorker123,
this I 140 is applied by old employer but did not share the receipt# and no 485 was applied that time. I want to port the PD from that I140 to the current I140/I485. For that purpose, I need the copy of old I140.
ssingh92,
I just applied the FOIA and just crossed my fingers. Lets see how it goes...
Thanks for all your radvise and support!

What is your PD & EB Category please?
How is that relevant? The guy said the date is not current.
I'm guessing the email he got was a standard form email created before July fiasco when having an open 485 application pretty much meant your date was current. Now this is no longer relevant. They won't make a decision until the PD becomes current, and even then they may follow up with RFE about whether he still holds the same position, etc. So pretty much he shouldn't expect to hear anything from them in 60 days regardless of what he email says.

Here is my suggestion:
Apply for H-4 as this should be straight-forward and fly your wife the US in March. Prepare H-1 papers and get it ready to reach USCIS on April 1st.
If H-1 is acceped in lottery(assuming there is going to be one), then H-1 status starts from October 1st. For travel purpose your wife will have to get H-1 stamping (which can happen only after October 1st).
Hope this helps.
If am in your situation, i will go with the above approach...

From this link it's sure Obama is going to get CIR taken care of.All those undocumented workers ,who he is so sweetly saying should get into the the end of the line after paying fine ,now will they effect our long queues in anyway?(like the amnesty people did to EB3 in 2000)
He is not talking about GC's ,though he did skirt around H1B. I'm not able to figure out if this article holds any good new for us .
Would be nice to read others opinions on this.
Thank you.

I have an idea. We can make following proposal to lawmakers....
In next 2 years they can sunset EB3 catagory. In exchange for that they will give visa numbers enough for everyone whose EB3 485 is pending or in pipeline(labor, 140)
What you guys think of this idea?
Anyways there are lot of people who just want to keep EB1 and EB2 catagories. We may get support from them with this proposal......

I think these days especially (Nebraska service center) is looking for every possible to give RFE. RFE Looks like not complicated but you need to explain in detail every item.
Hope some senior members or attorney will help you.

I tried it. They might wont ask new approval notice. You should show that and get the expiry date in I-94 as same as your latest I-797 Approval notice.
You don't need to stamp visa as its not expired.....

Dear XXXXX:
Thank you for contacting me in support of recapturing unused
employment-based immigrant visas and imposing fees for
immigration services for intracompany transferees. I apologize for
the delay in my reply, but I appreciate hearing from you and I
welcome the opportunity to respond.
I agree that the U.S. government should recapture unused
employment-based immigrant visas and impose immigration service
fees for those visas. As you may know, the United States Senate
version of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, S. 1932, included a
provision that would recapture up to 30,000 H-1B visas that had not
been issued in prior years. Also, S. 1932 would impose an additional
$500 fee to obtain these recaptured visas. These provisions were not
included in the House-passed version of the Deficit Reduction Act of
2005, H.R. 4241. Unfortunately, the Conference Committee, which
was responsible for resolving the differences between the House and
Senate versions of the bill, did not include this provision in the
final
version of S. 1932. The final version of S. 1932 passed in the House
by a vote of 216-214 on February 1, 2006. President Bush signed this
bill into law on February 8, 2006.
Please be assured that I will keep our shared support for
recapturing unused employment-based visas and imposing fees for
immigration services for these visas very much in mind as Congress
considers immigration issues.
Thank you again for contacting me. As your Representative in
the United States Congress, it is a privilege and an honor to serve you
and to act as your voice in Washington. Please feel free to contact me
again with any other issue or matter that concerns you. You may also
want to visit my website at www.house.gov/rothman where you can
sign up for my e-newsletter and keep current with my latest
Congressional activities and policy statements.

For most Lawyers handing H1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html)cases, the problem with the Labor Condition Application (LCA) system has become a nightmare. Some cases take almost 14 days to be resolved and the FEIN denials are completely unreasonable.
Finally, the USCIS Ombudsman release a set of recommendations to handle the recent problems.
In August and September 2009, the Ombudsman received complaints concerning H-1B cases with incorrectly denied Labor Condition Applications (LCA/ETA-9035) filed with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). LCA processing delays and errors at DOL, when coupled with USCIS� current H-1B petition initial filing requirements, are prejudicing employers and individuals who are unable to timely file original or extension H-1B visa petitions. Untimely H-1B petition filings lead to
problems, including: (1) the potential loss of employees� legal status; (2) business operation disruptions due to the loss of continuity in the employment of key employees; and (3) economic loss to employees in the form of lost wages and costs of travel overseas due to loss of status. USCIS has the authority to mitigate the impact upon these customers.
To mitigate the impact of LCA processing difficulties, the Ombudsman recommends that USCIS:
(1) Reinstate USCIS� previous practice of temporarily accepting an H-1B petition (Form I- 129) supported by proof of timely filing of an LCA application with DOL, and issue a
Request for Evidence (RFE) whereby the H-1B petitioner later provides the certified
LCA; and
(2) Establish a temporary policy under which USCIS would excuse late H-1B filings where the petitioner has documented an LCA submission to DOL that was improperly
rejected.
Given that Form I-129 instructions say a petitioner must provide evidence that an LCA has been filed with DOL, and that USCIS has previously accommodated petitioners in nearly the same circumstances, implementing these recommendations as a temporary solution is warranted. We welcome the above referenced guidance, and hope this will assist many H1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) filers that are in need of faster processing.

Hello i am running in to issues of how to get address changed. To give you guys previews. We were residing in Chicago till July ending. In August we moved to CT as my wife got a new job there. But since my work location is in IL , I requested my employer whether its possible to work remotely and its ok by law. He said u can change ur residential address and there is no need to amend LCa/H1b as there is no change in work location in my case. Fine for now.
I recently visited CT DMV and requested for CT state license. They denied to me saying that i need a CT employer letter or My employer should issue letter to DMV stating my work location changed. Neither of these are going to happen. For now i have my license and Plate from IL itself. I can still continue to maintain but renewing Plates and Pollution test are pain being in CT any ideas please ?

Here's a sticky question - and appreciate "expert" advise on the matter:
My situation:
1. I currently work on a H1B for Company A
2. My future greencard has been filed by Company B - recd. EAD, applied 485
My question:
1. Can I work on my EAD either for company A or any other company?
Yes, you can work for any company, but with similar job description mentioned in your LC
2. What happens if I dont join Company B ever?
well this is a broad subject, I'll try to put it this way.
when you applied for AOS which I suppose is employment based, your intent is to work with the sponsoring employer on a "permanent position" (at least 6 months after the GC approval) and your sponsoring employers intent is to employee you on permanent position (again atleast 6 months after GC approval), so by never joining your sponsoring employer you are violating/contradicting the primary intent of Employment based AOS application which can lead to revoking of your GC in future or it might cause problems during your naturalization

Category: EB2
Priority Date: Aug 2007
485/EAD: cannot file due to retrogression
I have a permanent employment offer from the employer where I am contracting, right now for the same job. Following are the questions I have:
1. Can I change my employer?
2. Can I retain my Priority date?
3. If the new employer files for transfer of H1, what does it mean to my extension beyond 7th year?
Please help.
Thank you.

My spouse was on H4 then got a job and changed to H1. Subsequently spouse lost her job and is now back on H4. I have been on H1 throughout and my six years of H1B visa expire in 2010. MY spouse I and want to get our H1 and H4 visa stamped in Mumbai consulate.
Does any one think that the changeover from H4 to H1 and then again to H4 could be a reason to be concerned about for getting the visa stamped at the consulate?
Appreciate your valauable advice.
When you wife lost her job, I assume you filed a Change of Status from H1 to H4 for her. Her status does not convert back to H4 unless you file a COS. As long as you show proof of legal stay in whatever status you were in US, and you have all supporting documents to submit during the visa interview, I dont see any issues for getting your visa. Its good to take all paystubs that your wife got while she was working on H1. I know of one case, where the visa officer asked for wife's paystubs during her H1 status though she was attending a H4 visa interview. She did not have them with her but the officer still granted her the H4 visa. But I guess she got lucky that time and its good to carry them.

Hi please can anyone kindly help? My husband would like to transfer to another company, but his current company is paying him lower than the prevailing wage. They said that the base salary plus overtime were meeting the prevailing wage requirement, but according to DOL regulations, the prevailing wage shouldn't include overtime pay. If the H-1B transfer petition is filed by the new company and we submit the current pay stubs which show a lower pay, will that be a problem? What are the possible solutions without making the current company pay more to make up the #s (they are not willing to do so)? Just don't want to get into trouble and get investigation involved.
We're so worried. Thank you so much in advance! Any suggestions/information would be helpful!
I don't think the beneficiary will be punished for employer not being able to pay the prevailing wage. Your H1 COE should go through fine even though current pay stubs show lower salary. Key for getting COE approved is to be employed and maintain legal status. Ex-employer could face some issues in future with H1 extensions/new applications.

It depends on the I-140 you requested USCIS to consider while you aplied for I-485. There is some process called interifling, where you can later request USCIS to use the I-140 with better priority date against the I-485 so you can avoid multiple I-485.
hello Jai_Immigration,
I am in a similar situation and was wondering if you have any idea...I had applied for my 485 using an approved I140. Last year I had another I140 applied (since the first 140 application was about to get denied) and this application is still pending at USCIS. USCIS has sent an RFE on this second application last week (which my lawyer hasn't received yet).
Do you think this second I140 application will cause any effect on my 485 application? I had used my first 140 which was approved for my 485 application.
Thanks.
