Open an MTR ASAP. It sometimes takes lot of time(may be one year) for final decision.

As your H1B is valid for another one year, just to have a support talk with your attorney about filing a PERM labor ASAP.

Taking the emotional quotient and any other 'angles' out of the issue. Fragomen is correct and so is your manager.

If it comes to that, it's not worth the risk for you, your manager and your company to do anything other than what's suggested by your attorney.(Fragomen)

Normally my wife is the one who is used to post or follow up on the latest here.

This came up a week ago. I have been working from home in a different state and we do not have any company office near my home. Nearest office location is about 3 hours. I had to move this far away due to personal reasons.

Now after working from home for 3 years (extending EAD, H1Bs etc) Fragomen (most of you know who they are) says I cannot do work from home anymore due to this conflict with uscis. it seems USCIS doesnt recognize your home as a Govt recognized work location. Hence I cannot work from home.

Now my manager wants me to only work from the office since folks reporting to me are also in that state. Now he is using Fragomen and HR emails as a reason for me to move back.

Anythoughts ? I am sure you all will agree that is the law. but why all this now ? even after working for 12 years.

One other point the fragomen lawyer said is - this is going to be the case for all thier clients.

First, you should not offer money for such a letter. Secondly, you can ask a colleague to write one for you. When you send a letter from a colleague, explain that the company had refused to write a letter for you. Include the phone number and the address of the company.
In general, a colleague letter is enough as long as the USCIS can verify the author of the letter.

where ever u r getting ur info from shree19772000 ...I soooooooooooooooo hope it is true !!! :D

See the title of his post: PREDICTION....

I think it is a mistake to assume that EB2 category can be determined by wage levels
Mine is Wage level -II but I have a masters from the US. It all depends on the job requirement.
Also, I know a person who is wage level-III but is EB3.

Further explanation can be found at http://www.flcdatacenter.com/skill.aspx

Is it 6 months for both, EAD and AP or just EAD? If it's just EAD, then how soon can I renew my AP?

AVS channel has an indian program every saturday starting 10am -12.00pm

I am sure many indians watch this.There is also 'free' immigration advise by some lawyers at the end of the program.


If some one has contacts at AVS may be IV could get more coverage.

Thinking out loud..

Is there any quota on filing the I 140s? My friend requested his employer for upgrading his 140 and he says that the attorney mentioned that the quota for I 140 is already full. I don't think it is right. Any inromation please.

There is no quota for I 140, the employer is just trying to save money.

Talk to your Local "state" Congressman(woman)/Senator.

I will certainly do that..

RV..

New job must match the LC...that's the trick. If it doesn't, it will get rejected and potentially, GC denied.

Career progression from Junior Programmer to Senior Programmer is possible. But to manager with less technical stuff and more management stuff, then it might get rejected because of huge difference from LC.

Always remember, get a job that is according to your LC because that is the one certified.

It is risky.

Called Sen Coryn's office. Kicked out of voice mail to immigration counsel. However, did leave the message with the staff. He was professional and nice. HE even thanked for calling.

I think if iam not wrong its not based of the priority date or anything else. Its just random

Thanks Immigration Voice Team for all ur hardwork and dedication. You guys rock, man. Appreciate QGA for working with us and hope they keep up the same spirit till this bill passes into law ;)



Thanks to IV core members, QGA, senators and their staff.
Kudos to Immigration Voice!

I had an infopass appointment at San Francisco today to inquire about my name check. I am a July 2007 485 filer. PD March 2006, I140 - May 2006, 485 RD- July 27, 2007 and ND- Aug 27, 2007.

The agent said that they dont hold cases for name check any more since April 2008 and cannot tell what is the status of the name check. I also inquired about my 485 case and she said pointing to the Notice Date of my 485 not the Receipt DATE, that currently Nebraska is processing Aug 10th cases.

I wanted to know from you whether there is any other way to get the info about name check and whether the processing is based on Reciept date or notice date?

Any idea?

cheers

Hi,

I am little scared, I have taken an Infopass appointment for this friday at my local office, as my PD is current for EB2 - May, and still didn't get any status update or GCs.

Is it risky or inviting a risk by taking infopass apt. ?

Do you think I should have waited ?

please reply if anyone have any idea.

Thank you,

I don't think infopass does any harm to you. it may give more info ahead of time. I had infopass on may 12 as one of my friends with later PD got the approval email. the IO told me the case is approved and approvals are mailed already. got the GC next day :) This is my experience. I don't know if anyone had a bad experience at infopass or something that caused additional problem for their case. I think your's is a genuine case as your PD is current and it's almost month end and many with PD after you are already approved.

Legal immigration problem cannot be solved by these channels. FOX channel is extreme right when it comes to the matter and interests of one of the party Republican party and they are biased for Tea scum bag party. But when it comes to other countries right issue they become middle men and the saviours of democracy. Please see below how they address India's own Nationalist and valid issues.

Tensions Rise Between Hindu Radicals, Urbanites in Mumbai - FoxNews.com (http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/10/26/tension-rises-hindu-radicals-urbanites-mumbai/)
any media in any country for that matter is biased, and mostly controlled by ruling party and their business interest. Never ever believe their analysis and take decisions.

shiv sena is an extreme outfit and their actions should be condemned, its not a right or left issue,

Nice.

Do you guys think this 2008 election will have any impact on the immigration process?

hye I dunno what all of your opinions are, but I think that pixel stretching and similar effects that are so popular now - can more easily take away from a picture then add to it.... just MHO - seems like people use it 'cuz it is "in"

Peace

When do you get FP notices?
