Johnny, you must have a passport. I also suggest that you carry a notarized letter signed by both of your parents that you have their permission to make this journey.

My H1-B is expiring in December 2007. I have approved I-140 now and am hoping to get 3 year H1-B extension based on my approved I-140. Do you think I can get 3 year extension even if the visa numbers for filing AOS is current? Does AC21 apply to this case? Please suggest.
well if it is current you wont get it for 3 years, however I know AOS is unavailable, you if you apply before OCT you should be fine. once visa bulletin for OCT come out if you become current then if you file for 3 year, you will only get for 1 year

I have my labor cleared and 140 applied in 2007. Later in 2007 I had filed for 485 based on the pending 140 application and received EAD as well. But the 140 was denied later due to ineligibility to file on EB2 and a new one I140 was applied in EB2 refering the pending 485 application and the same old labor. This I140 has been pending since last few years and my attorney only received a letter stating it is under review, when a SR was raised. Meanwhile I have received EAD and AP extensions properly based on the pending 485.
I would like to apply 140 again from a different company using the old labor and refering the pending 485 application sine i am currently on EAD using the pending 485 application.
Questions
1. Can i do that?
2. If so, what documents would i need from my company to process this.
1. What is the point in applying EB2 again for the same labor when you are not eligible. It will be denied sooner or later. Either you should have applied in EB3 I-140 or should have started a new labor process. You just wasted your time.
2. No you can not apply for new I-140 with new employer when the labor belongs to different employer

You will not have problem because of H 1 B withdrawal. For that matter, even if they revoke I-140 you will not have any problem.
But if your case is getting processed, it is possible that you get a REF asking you to provide the employment verification letter. If you can provide a valid employment verification letter at that time then you should be fine. But if you receive an interview notice instead of REF then you should also have the recent pay checks, is very important.
In any case the only issue is if USCIS finds that you are out of Job for a longer period of time then you might run into issues. So, try to get the Job as soon as possible.

Alright all,
Celebrating the good news here.
Question: Did anybody receive confirmation about their AOS applications being returned after filling in early July (Say on the 2nd or 3rd)? I know there have been rumors about a few returned applications but I haven't actually found anyone in such situation + my attorneys confirmed today that USCIS specifically instructed not to return/reject them.
An answer will magically appear after you have contributed to the IV cause.

Just want to share the info that i got from my immigration firm news letter
Under Section 265 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), all non-U.S. citizens who change their residential address are required to notify the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) within 10 days of the change. This applies to all adults and children (of any age) who are non-U.S. citizens, including U.S. green card holders.
A person who fails to notify the USCIS of a change of address within 10 days of the change is guilty of a misdemeanor under Section 266 of the INA. The penalty for failing to notify the government of the new address within 10 days is a fine of up to $200.00 or possible imprisonment for a period not to exceed 30 days, or both. However, the government has not enforced this section of the law that rigorously to date, and many notify the USCIS of their change of address well after the 10 day reporting period without an issue, but this could change. Since we have seen an increase in USCIS enforcement activities with respect to H-1B employers and H-1B workers, and since many H-1B employers place H-1B employees at client locations around the country for short-term assignments, it is very important that H-1B employees notify the USCIS each time they move within the 10 day reporting period.
In order to report a change of address to the USCIS you may download, complete, and mail a Form AR-11 or Form AR-11SR (Special Registrants Only) to the USCIS, or you may report your change of address, electronically, by visiting the USCIS web site (www.uscis.gov), and following the procedures provided by the USCIS

My Green Card is stuck at EB2 Stage but all this time I forgot that I have potential for a British Citizenship based on my birth place and Father being a Britisher.
Now can I reapply as a Brit - all over again hoping to get past the long queue. I am not interested in gaming - dont get me wrong - I had been in UK for some 5-6years working and am easily eligible for to get UK Citizenship that I did not explore. Now can I change the situation ?
Hope you are posting your question for US immigration. (This site discusses US immigration)
As far as I know the country of chargeability is your or your spouse's birth country(Choice during I485 application) not based on citizenship. HTH

Here is my interpertation,
"Cancelled without Prejuidice" means that they have cancelled the visa as it is no longer needed as they have approved you for your Permanent Residence. It also means that if you do not keep your Permanent Residence (you mentioned conditional in your note - so I'm presuming marriage based GC?) then you will have no difficulties in ever getting another visa should you ever need one.
if a visa is cancelled WITH prejudice - then you would have had great difficulty in ever getting another US Visa.
hope that helps.

my company lawyer did not ask for any tax returns or w2 forms .. Should they be submitted as part of "initial evidence"
Tax returns are not part of "initial evidence". You have to provide them if asked by the USCIS.
BTW, the IRS will mail you tax transcripts for free if you call them. You will get them within a few days.

Does that not indicate a problem that needs to be fixed instead of ignored as you have done Philip Wolgin?
Good job Philip Wolgin, completely ignored the Employment based category haven't you?
Lets just build the future of the country with school kids, uncles, aunties, refugees and farmers.
Who needs Intelligent and skilled workers anyway that can speak out against such stupidity.

Hi,
I submitted my 485/765/131 application in May this year and my 485 is pending. I received my EAD but I got an email from CRIS saying that there is an RFE on my AP. The RFE email was on July 13th but my lawyer still hasn't received the RFE. How long does it typically take to receive the RFE?
Thanks.
Takes some time for RFE to come to the lawyer around 2 weeks or so.RFE might be on photographs or colour visa copy so chill.

My online 485 status shows "card/document production" for a long time now and I did not get the card yet. I had contacted USCIS several times thru lawyer and never got any reply. My lawyer said that could have been a mistake.
I finally called hte USCIS directly and got the reply from the Phone rep that my 485 is approved and will open a ticket to find out why my card has not arrived. After a week or so I got a letter from USCIS quoting my earlier call and said my PD is Jan'04 and currently the availablity is only for Apr '02 and I have to wait till the PD is current for case.
There was never an explanation about why my online status shows the card/document in production.
In this case, what are my options ? Please help.
Can't explain the kind of emotional and psychological trauma we go thru ever since we saw online status and subsequent messages from USCIS.

Hello Friends
I am observing the alerts and discussions here and also the current political activities.Such a pity that we dont mean anything compared to those who broke the law to enter here.
Anyways we are part of this system and have to keep fighting till we go down.
I have a suggestion: Can we make a online petition focussing clearly on just eb provisions in the bill coming to the floor . We can make immigration voice as the sender and send to only senate judiciary committee members .
We should also let them know that our community is closely following senate proceddings and actvities and would request to know their stand on our plight. I dont think those guys know we exist for one or second we r watching them close.Why would they talk of us if they dont know we r watching..
we should ask them for answer:do u want us to leave now as its not possible for a eb3 indian to stay on in one job for years waiting for gc. or do u really want tohelp us out.
i think a single petiition with thousands of signs would be better right now as time is limited. any thoughts..if u guys approve we have to work real fast on it.

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) is seeking public comment on a proposed federal rule (http://www.federalregister.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2010-13991_PI.pdf) that would adjust most fees by 10% for immigration benefit applications and petitions.
USCIS is a fee-based organization with about 90% of its budget coming from fees paid by applicants and petitioners to obtain immigration benefits. The law requires USCIS to conduct fee reviews every two years to determine whether its costs to administer the nation�s immigration laws, process application, and provide the infrastructure needed to support those activities. A fee adjustment, as detailed in the proposed rule, is necessary to ensure that the USCIS recovers the cost of their operations while also meeting the application processing goals identified in the 2007 fee rule.
Members of the public are encouraged to submit comments and/or suggestions to USCIS.
Comments may be submitted through regulations.gov (http://www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/home.html#home). The comment period runs for 45 days, beginning June 11, 2010 and ending July 26, 2010.
