Hello Folks,

We have an excellent opportunity to set-up an IV booth. Details are posted on So Cal yahoo group with the link in my signature.

Venue: Diwali Mela, San Diego.
Date: Saturday, November 10th.
Target: A whopping 5000 visitors for recruitment and educational purposes.

I am looking for at least 4 So Cal volunteers/shift to take responsibility for 2 hour shifts at the booth. If San Diego/Orange County/LA members take turns in the booth shifts that day, this goal is achievable!

PLEASE SIGN-UP on the yahoo groups spreadsheet.

Thank you in advance! :)

H1b extensions can be done based on approved Labor alone. You need i140 only if you need 3 year extensions.

You mentioned the extension filed is based on approved labor. You I140 status does not matter for 1 year renewals. This is my own experience.

Best of luck on your 140




Cheeers !


Varumo_varatho,

Your 140 is filed based on your labor and it is denied now. How will USCIS allow you to extend your H1B with a denied I-140? Technically once you filed I-140 then the labor has no value and you have to take action based on I-140. The rule is you can extend your H1B based on your pending labor or pending I-140 or approved I-140. That means once you file I-140 then do not hold your breath to file an H1B extension based on your labor.

Can you tell us your personal experience that how you got your H1B extended with your I-140 denial?

If you don�t know anything please do not give your 2 cents here. Nobody asked your wrong opinion and no one is longing for you to post some false information here.

I would suggest you to change your screen name to Thriyumo_Thriyatho

same rules apply to medical center. If you donot have MMR how can they give one shot and then give the medical report when another dose is pending next month.

Does that mean those who get MMR shot at medical center have one more pending ...but got their report in advance????

They can give a report saying that second one is scheudled on a particualr date. that's what they do for people taking MMR from them. They don't give 2 MMR shots at one time.

Hi there read ur post so u got an interview even when ur priority date is no where current . M i understanding u rite.

Somebody told me that I can get a letter from Indian consulate certifying by Date of Birth using my passport and I can use that in place of the Birth certificate for 485 ?? IS this true, if yes, will this be accepted by USCIS ??

In the first case if I proceed as of now and when I get an RFE, what should I do ???


Thanks

interesting to note the arrests did not matter.

I have 6 IV T- Shirts and I am wearing them already.

When ever I go to distribute the flyers I wear them, it will make others look at you.

Folks Don't wait till last minute, buy them now

it is highly unfortunate......if you dont mind, what is the new procedure, can we know? which stage u r in now? where u have to start it?

good luck.....

I'm sorry but I have no idea what the new procedure is. The attorney just informed me that there is a new procedure and he emailed them all the info. So I assume that the new procedure is an email based system .

This is an RIR filed in Oct'02 in PBEC

inline...
My employer refuses to give my copy of approve LC.

-- thats not a good sign.. he does not seem to be co-operative...

I had MS + 1.5 yrs of exp.

So not sure if they had exp in the job description as I dont see any job that requires MS + 1 yr of exp.

I am willing to take the risk.

Its upto you. If you feel you'll get through without an RFE, you will be all set, if you feel there is a chance of an RFE, this will be a big mistake. Try to stay on H1-B instead of EAD if you do take a chance... In general people would advice against it, job offers keep coming and going. A chance to file I-485, especially if you are from India might be rare thing.

My lawyer asked me to write my A# from my OPT card that I used in 1999-2000. According to him A# is assigend once for an individual and if you were assigned before you can continue to use that in future. Though I never used that in the past 7-8 years.

My wife got an OPT card last month and we used A# from that card for her dependent I-485 application

sky..definetly wait..they are going to introduce i140 premium processing for eb3 next month, and for eb2 maybe a month later. then for 1000 bucks you can have your i140 cleared ..(there is a good possibility it will clear by itself before that)

Dear gc-rip,

1. As I mentioned, my AP is applied and expected to be renewed till Aug 2011. If I leave my current employer, according to the company policy the underlying I-140 will be withdrawn by the current employer. Would that invalidate my AP already approved, or would it be unaffected and I can safely travel back to USA till Aug 2011?
If I travel after a long delay of 8 months would can cause any issue on AP based entry?

Assuming your I-485 has been pending for more than 180 days and your I-140 has been approved, the employer's request to withdraw the I-140 would not invalidate your A/P. As long as you can show that full time permanent US employment in a "same or similar occupation" will be available to you once your PD is current, you are entitled to enter the US using your AP at any time prior to its expiration.

2. To renew my AP beyond Aug 2011, can I just travel for a short time to USA in April 2011, and file the renewal? And later by Aug 2011 return back to USA and collect the new renewal?

According to minutes of a 2004 USCIS liaison meeting:

USCIS: (a) If a foreign national (i) already possesses a valid, unexpired advance parole, (ii) applies for a new advance parole while he/she is present in the U.S., and (iii) then departs the U.S., the foreign national must return to the U.S. during the validity period of the current advance parole already in his or her possession. If the foreign national returns timely, abandonment of the pending advance parole application would not occur. However, the foreign national may not remain abroad after the initial advance parole expires and then seek to re-enter at a later time using the subsequent advance parole that was pending adjudication at the time the person departed the U.S.

Unfortunately, informal statements such as this are not legally binding and easily subject to change.

When discussing premium processing, capitalism etc categories, we should not forget that USCIS is a monopolist. There is no alternative, hense all screw ups, "premiums" etc. Capitalism has nothing to do with USCIS. This organization is a typical crippled socialistic child.

you asked if you were missing something... i said yes you are. u asked for an explanation..so be it..and i put in a disclaimer...that what you were missing was anybody's guess

As for as my knowlege pending I140s wont be effected. Senior members can currect me if i am wrong.

Thx.

How one can help him, what should we do?

NURSE, H-1B FEES TORPEDOED FROM BUDGET BILL
I have learned that the immigration provisions that would have created 61,000 additional green cards for nurses as well as added a $3500 fee to H-1B visas have not survived the conference committee and will not be a part of the bill sent to the President (which he is set to veto). There is much speculation as to why this happened. Many people were deeply troubled by the H-1B and its impact on non-profit and smaller employers. In order to allow Senator Grassley to save face, the push was made to strip all immigration provisions out, even though the H-1B fee opponents likely supported the nurses. We also understand the California Nurses Association, the most vocal anti-immigration nursing group in the country, worked behind the scenes to try and kill the nursing provision. Nice that they care so much about their patients and would rather push death rates up rather than immediately dealing with the nursing crisis.

Bottomline is that the whole process translates to Luck.

Surely is. That's why if you search on this forum there are so many theories and postulates put forward that tries to second guess or figure out what their algorithm/methodology is. The last person who could guess the PD movement algorithm was VDLRao, but he is MIA nowadays.

Anyways if anyone who has their PDs current on this forum and believes that they are feeling lucky tommorrow or anytime in the next month, I would suggest NOT to wait for GC news. When you're feeling lucky go to Vegas, maybe a multimillion $ jackpot that you always dreamt about is around the corner:D.

what happens if the passport gets stamped and got a new I94 in the vancouver airport and no inspection after coming back to US.
what should we enter as last entry into us


Then put the Vancouver visit as the last entry.

DOL (Department of Labor) will give ur company a tracking/receipt number. ask ur company to check the status of the case using that number from DOL website.

hope that helps

I did it on May 1st and did it again on May 20th.

For any agenda to be pushed forward funds are needed.

Even just to run a portal like this to give us an opportunity to discuss our issues at a single source also costs.
