Hi,
My NIW/I-140 application has been pending for a year. During this time, I have more qualifications added to my resume. Is there a mechanism to send my updated resume or should I just let it be?
Thanks.

GC is for future employment. So if your current employer have no problems you can just transfer your H1B to your client and start working for the client. Later when your PD is current you can add your wife.

HI Folks
The reason for this post is as usual- too much confusion and no clear answers. i read on oh law firm that if you are not in a non-immigrant status i.e are working on EAD, there should be no gap in your EAD while you are working. Meanin you should stop working if your current EAD expires and your new EAD is pending- otherwise its a violation of law and provisions of 245 do not protect you because technically you are NOT a non-immigrant.
Is that true?????
Now, i recently had to go to India for an emergency, and had to come back on AP- did not have time to get my H1b visa stamped. I asked at the immigration counter if my H1b is invalidated and he told me it is. I spoke to my lawyer and she told me if you resume your H1b employment with the same employer- you are back in status- i kinda did not buy that though.
Can someone please shed light. My concern is that my EAD is expired- new one is pinding. Although i was on h1b when i left for India, but came back using AP. Am i breaking a law by working??
thanks

I would refer you to the Sept. Attorney call transcript under the Members only section. I believe this question or something similar was answered there by Sonal Verma. In a nutshell, if the job requires higher qualifications that satisfy EB2 requirements only then can the petition be filed under EB2. That being said, the education equivalency may make your case a bit difficult because as per the transcript, the USCIS of late has been taking a stance that a combination of degrees will not be considered as equivalent to a US Bachelors or Masters.
Please refer to the transcript and if you are not satisfied, please submit your question for the next attorney conference call.

"The mission of Immigration Voice is to organize grassroots efforts and resources to solve several problems in the employment based green card process including (a) delays due to Retrogression (visa number unavailability for certain employment-based categories) (b) delays due to USCIS processing backlogs and (c) delays due to Labor Certification backlogs. We will work to remove these and other flaws by supporting changes to immigration law for high-skilled legal employment-based immigrants. High-skilled legal immigrants strengthen the United States' economy and help maintain American technological superiority"

I just got off the phone with a second level rep at USCIS and am getting really confused with their mixed messaged. before i push any panic buttons can some one please let me know if they had any conversations with the idiotic bunch at uscis and share your conversations with regards to the visa availability for next month. this idiot states that vsc just oversubscribed and that it could be that there wont be any movement on the cases. all this over enthusiasm for nothing - that would really infuriate me. there is a limit to the fuss they can cause and play with emotions.
Did he say vsc(vermont service center) ?
is vsc still processing 485 cases?

Sorry, if this question is asked before. I could not find the answer even after a thorough search.
My EB3 � India, I-485 application is pending and I am planning to explore options of porting to EB2.
I am currently working with another employer (B) different from the GC sponsoring company (A) using AC-21 rule.
My current employer (B) is planning to apply for labor in EB2 category.
The job requirements satisfy EB2 eligibility and I have the skills/qualifications for the EB2 category before I joined the current employer (B) (in fact even before joining the employer A).
Two questions:
1). Do you see any problem with the above scenario?
2). If you are not a lawyer, can you please suggest a good immigration lawyer that is very good at dealing with porting.
Thanks in advance.

For those worried about not being able to live in the UK, I say "Don't worry, you are not missing a great deal".
I have lived & worked in UK for a couple of years many years back. Like most of my acquaintances at that time I didn't (want to) live there long. Most of my friends left for US, I returned to India. And then to US.
Life is US has its problems, the immigration backlog is one of them. But it is really a walk in the park compared to that in Britain. UK is one of the most racist society I have ever seen. There is racism in all countries (even in India, we call it Casteism) but no where as overt as in UK. In UK, the work culture isn't all that great, life is boring and the weather sucks. No wonder a recent investigation by BBC reported that 7 out of 10 Britons now prefer to live outside UK mainly because it's high cost of living, lack of livable space and for little more sunshine. And that number is growing every year. In % terms, that's the highest number and in absolute terms it is the 3rd highest expat population of any country, only India & China ranks higher. Britons now prefer the sunny & more livable places such as Spain (culture), Australia (language) and Florida (proximity).
When I left UK, it was with relief. Now when I visit UK on work or enroute to other countries, I feel sorry for the folks back there. I would any day prefer living in India - if not in US - than living in UK.

Article by Frank Aquila of Bloomberg BusinessWeek who underscores several reasons why lifting the cap on H-1B petitions is essential for US Tech growth including the fact that "The U.S. Labor Dept. estimates that by 2014, 2 million high-tech jobs will go unfilled simply because the cap on H-1B visas has not been raised."

Hi,
I am a US citizen and my mom has been coming to the US once every 3-4 years for the last 15 years on a visitor visa (around 5-6 times). Each time, we had no issue in extending her stay, but her extension got denied yesterday. While I could have applied for her GC, she really did not prefer to apply for a GC since she wanted to spend more time in India than here.
My questions are as follows:
1. I have not got the official letter yet (had email notification), but is there really anything we can do to appeal her extension denial. I think I pretty much sent everything I could possibly can - letter with reasons similar to earlier extensions, return ticket itinerary, affidavit of support, bank statements etc. Another reason we gave is that she cannot travel alone - and my brother is leaving to India in 2 months and she wants to go back with him. I dont know what else we can say to extend her stay.
2. My mom is around 75 years old, and we really don't want to explore the option of leaving within 10 days (she never visited my brother in the last 5 years and she is with him now for only the last 2 weeks after a cross-country flight and recuperating). What I would like to know is - how soon can she safely leave. I think my mom is pretty much done with the US - and doesnt care if she gets a 3 year ban. But - I would like to know if there is any issue if she leaves in 2-3 months (i.e. overstay by 2 months considering the date she got her denial). Will they know at the US airport where she leaves, that she overstayed and (possibly) detain her for questioning. I know there are some airports that require you to document that you left by using a thumb-print.
3. 6 months+ overstay = 3 year ban. < 6 months overstay = ? (is this at the discretion of the POE officer? Can he deny entry - which would be kind of the worst possible future situation, but would like to know so that we can take as much of an informed decision as possible.
4. Can I apply for her GC now to keep her stay legal? Again, even if I apply - she is GOING back to India in 2 months and I will likely need to withdraw her application later.
Any advice on her options is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna
