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?

Hi Nikith,
I guess we get FP for 485. Not for EAD or even AP.
You will get second (or even third or fourth...) Finger print notice(s)
until you get GC every 15 or 18 months.
They need to renew their FP database.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Hi Gurus
Do we get FP again for second EAD :confused:

Thank you very much, baba84!
Here are description of "a" and "b" or "h". in I485 Part2.
We are supposed to mark one reason for an adjustment to permanent resident.
Part 2 says
I am applying for an adjustment to permanent resident status because:
"a": an immigrant petition giving me an immediately available immigrant visa number has been approved. (Atttach a copy of the approval notice-- or a relative, special immigrant juvenile or special immigrant military visa petition filed with this application that will give you an immediately available visa number, if approved.)
"b": my spouse or parent applied for adjustment of status or was granted lawful permanent residence in an immigrant visa category that allows derivative status for spouses and children.
"h": Other basis of eligibility. Explain (for example, I was admitted as a refugee, my status has not been terminated, and I have been physically present in the U.S. for one year after admission). If additional space is needed, use a separate piece of paper.
Thanks!!!

Hi,
I got a RFE on my 485 to submit all the W-2 and 1040. I do not have one of my W-2 form which my previous employer never provided me.
I want to write a covering letter regarding non availability of that W2. I have email proofs of my requests to the employer regarding the W2. I also want to attach a copy of the letter which IRS has sent me regarding the complaint I have filed regarding the same.
Could any of you guys help me with a format of the letter and also what all I need to include in that letter. I also need to know to whom should this letter be addressed.
Thanks for any help.

I received my daughter's and my I-797A approval notice. All information on the attached I-94s are correct, but we have same I-94# which is my daughter's old I-94#. I called USCIS 800 number. The lady who answered the phone told me that it's normal becauce my daughter is my dependent. I also went to local USCIS office. Basically they don't kown why it happened and how it happened. They say that I should send the I-797As back to the office where the approval notices are issued to see if it's an error.
Any one has this experience? Is there any problem that I use this I-94 number to file I-485 for my daughter and me which USCIS 800 says "no problem."?
Thank you for your comments.

My current status is H1B with I-140 approved. I am planning for a fulltime MBA for which I have to transfer my visa to student visa. I heard from some sources that I cannot transfer to student visa when my 140 is approved. Does anyone here knows how far this is true?

Hi,
I will be done with my second master's this July 29. I have two months grace period to leave the country as I already used my OPT after my first master's. I have a job offer and they are willing to do my H1B which starts from October 2011. But my two months grace period will end this september 29. If my H1B is filed in September under Premium processing, will I be in status or out of status for those two days. Did any one face similar problem before. If so, can you please give me the solution?
Thanks,
KEDoubt
You can extend your F1 status under "cap-gap" relief
USCIS - Extension of Post-Completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) and F-1 Status for Eligible Students under the H-1B Cap-Gap Regulations</br> Questions and Answers (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=1d175ffaae4b7210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=6abe6d26d17df110VgnVCM1000004718190a RCRD)
Here is an extract but please read the entire document carefully from the above link
Q4. How does a student covered under the cap-gap extension obtain proof of continuing status?
A4. The student should go to their Designated School Official (DSO) with evidence of a timely filed H-1B petition (indicating a request for change of status rather than for consular processing), such as a copy of the petition and a FedEx, UPS, or USPS Express/certified mail receipt. The student�s DSO will issue a preliminary cap-gap I-20 showing an extension until June 1.
If the H-1B petition is selected for adjudication, the student should return to his or her DSO with a copy of the petitioning employer�s Form I-797, Notice of Action, with a valid receipt number, indicating that the petition was filed and accepted. The student�s DSO will issue a new cap-gap I-20 indicating the continued extension of F-1 status.

I am on H1b and working for a desi consulting company. My visa expired on Oct 30, 2010. My company applied for extension based upon my I 140 approved for 2years. I have valid EAD card. My wife is on H4, she doesn't have EAD.
Another company is offering me job and ready to transfer my H1b.
My Question:-
1) Can the new company can file my H1b Extension based upon my previous company I 140 and receipt notice (Because due to delays my H1b is not approved for previous employer)?
2) What if, The new company don't file AC 21?
3) What if the previous employer cancel my I 140.
Let me know what other problem can I face if I transfer my H1b to new employer.:confused:

1. Yes it is true that nurses and physical therapists dont need to undergo any labour certification process. They can file the I140 directly. The only thing that they need to do before filing an I140 is that the hospital in which they are working will have to post an internal ad for 10 days. The ad will display the nurse wage and other details. Once you are done with displaying it for 10 days they can file the I140 directly.
2. Nurse dont fall under H1B category. There is a specail category called T1 visa under which they fall. Since nurse degree is not at par with other graduation degrees like physical therapists they will not fall under H1. Irrespective of that, if the GC is filed for a nurse it will automatically go under the EB3 category.
PTs and nurses had a special provision in 2005 and 2006 where they were getting green card on arrival. It is called a Schedule A category which gave 50k visas to these medical professionals few years back. At that time the requirement for nurse and PT was quite high and that's what caused the Bush administration to introduce those 50k visas. These visa exhausted soon and since Oct 2006 this category is also retrogressed.
We dont know when the nurses and PTs will see the relief again; till then they continue to fall under the long EB3 queue.
Hope that helps

You need to consider all possiblities
1) Best case scenario: Your H1 gets approved before Oct in that case no need to do anything
2) H1 does not get approved by Oct 31 & No h4 applied then I am not sure if you are in status or not
3) If you apply for H4 and then you have H1 approval and subsequently H4 approval. In that case least you are in status but you will have to go out of country and get H1 stamped to remain on H1 status.
I would recommend option 3 as that is safest option though it involves money and stamping hassale it is worth it.

Hi,
My case is a bit complicated. So, your advice will be of great help.
Shortly after arriving to the country, without knowing much about immigration laws, my company applied for an EB3 PERM labor certification, although I hold a Master's degree! But, my company lawyers lack any experience! Anyway, the LC was approved in October. However, as you have guessed, retrogression was there, and I've started the waiting phase.
After reading more about rules and law, I've decided to ask the lawyers to file using EB2. One month later, they've filed another LC in EB2. Naturally, this one was rejected because DOL doesn't allow multiple filing for the same position! Once more, my lawyers proved their inefficiency, and said, it's a mistake and filed for an appeal. Until this day, the appeal is in limbo, because the guys at DOL don't even want to look at at. All our requests for info went unanswered!
Anyway, now the visa bulletin for June shows that my EB3 date has become really close, it's June 2005 for my case (EB3 World), while my PD is July 2005! I thought, finally it's time to go on with I-140. Asking my lawyers, they've adviced that I should withdraw my EB3 and the stalled EB2 and file another EB2!!! Of course I wondered as you did, "why didn't they say so earlier", but their answer was that the law and company rules just changed!
Well, instead of risking both EB3 and EB2, I've asked to withdraw the non moving EB2 only, and see what happens in July visa bulletin, which I believe would move at least by a month. I'm still waiting for my EB2 withdrawal decision too.
So, my question to the experts on this forum, what should I do next? Let's say my EB3 PD becomes current, should I just file for my green card, and hope it doesn't retrogresses while my application is being processed?
Or should, I withdraw my EB3 too and start the whole process in EB2. I'm very worried an EB2 LC request would gets complicated this time too! At the same time, I'm worried the EB3 category gets retrogressed while my I-485 is being processed and I would have to wait even longer. What do you think?
Well, that was long. So, thanks for reading and waiting to hear your recommendations and experiences.
take care,
mik
