Take an infopass appoinment and find out whose mistake was it.
How do u know if the employer is lying? ( chances more if its a desi)
or if its a mistake from USCIS

Please..request that only those with personal experience with this respond. I have to decide in the next hour or so and have lawyer opinions already.
Has anyone gone through this?
My H1 is pending 221g admin process (Pink. possibly because I have a Phd in biology) I can't wait much longer as I may risk losing my job. Can I travel on my valid AP? I am not concerned about keeping my H1 status etc. My only concern is at port of entry. Lawyers have told me it is ok, but I would like to hear from people who have done this themselves.

Looking at the responses from admins and core group on the Frist Bill threads it appears that the strategy for IV is to
(i) Send mass faxes to senators to establish IV as a significant org
(ii) Use the above leverage and QGA contacts to try and include additional favourable clauses in the bill while still supporting the bill as is.
The 2 main broad clauses that everyone seems to have consensus on is
(A) Re-instatement of AC-21 (paragraph 5) in full so that oversubscribed countries are eligible to use left-over visas from the rest of the world.
(B) Ability to file I-485 while the visa number is retrogressed.
This thread is to discuss alternatives for these 2 main clauses so that various options can be discussed with Senators if they are not willing to put these clauses as is:
For example:
(A) AC-21 clause alternatives
1. Put in the clause for a limited time period like 5 years, this will relieve the curretn backlog as well as make sure that the immigration per country numbers are not skewed for ever.
2. Increase the per-country limits to 25% so it may be skewed but not that much
3. Increase the per-country to 25% for a limited period of time ( 5 years)
4. Have per country limit 10% on current year only. But for recapture from previous years do not impose per country limit.
(B) Filing I-485 when priority dates not curretn
1. allow for filing if I-140 approved and priority dates stilll not curretn
2. allow for filing of 6 months has passed since I-140 approved and priority dates curretn
3. USCIS favourite :-) allow filing if 45 days has passed since I-140 has been filed and priority dates not curretn.
Pleas pitch in with alternative ideas on these 2 main clauses.

Hi
I planning to use AC 21 from Next week, I plan to call my parents in July 2008, What should I mention as my Immigration Status in Invitation letter.
As I will not be on H1B and neither I have Green Card ?
I talked to lot of people about using AC21, nobody is clear.
Since you confirmly mentioned that you'll invoke AC21 next week, could you inform us as you proceed further in this process. Please remember you are helping the whole community.
PS: Sorry I could not answer your question.

Hi Friends,
I am visiting to India on vacation and need to go for H1B renewal. My natvie place is in Andhra Pradesh, near to Chennai. So, i am comming from USA to Chennai, and wants to go to Chennai Consulate for stamping.
In vfs site the moment i select AP, it showing only Hyderabad appointment dates. how to choose and schedule appointment in Chennai consulate?
Can any of you suggest, how to proceed? is there any issues of going to Chennai rather Hyderabad?

3) I was going to apply for AP for my wife? Will I loose my H-1 if I apply AP for myself too
I truely appreciate your response on this matter

I had contacted all the senators and house reps in New Mexico via their website and heard back from Senator Jeff Bingaman.
Please see his reply:
Thank you for your letter regarding relief measures to raise the quota of employment-based legal immigration visas. I appreciate your taking the time to write. I understand the important contributions made by high-skilled immigrant workers in our economy, and I will certainly keep your concerns in mind as we debate immigration reform in the 110 th Congress.
Again, thank you for writing. Please continue to keep me informed regarding this or any other issue of importance to you.
Sincerely,
JEFF BINGAMAN

After 4.5 years, you can file for Naturalization. You may want to keep a tab on which companies you worked for, period, pay etc starting from the day you entered in USA, keep copies of all previous W2 in safe place. Also, prepare a spreadsheet of when you were out of the country starting from the day you entered here. All the above will be required while filling up forms for naturalization.
Visit other forums/threads to see what is required and prepare for it. you have long time to go though.
Good luck.

Hi All,
My passport expires in 2 months time. I checked Indian Consulate in Chicago website for passport renewal (Passport and Consular Services (http://chicago.indianconsulate.com/Passpins.html#A). _New_Passport
). It instructs you to fill out an online application at https://passport.gov.in/nri/OnlineRegistration.jsp
What I am confused is in the second field "Service Desired", what do I fill? I do not know which of these two options I should fill (a) Passport for children upto 15 years (b) Fresh Passport (c) Re-issue of passport (d) New passport in lieu of damaged or lost passport. Options (a) and (d) do not apply to me. Should I fill (b) or (c)?
These options are a bit confusing and I could not locate any instructions for this web form. The consulate phone number just keeps on playing a 5 minute generic recording.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

My LC (non-RIR) is stuck in BPC since Feb'05 which is also my PD. After lot of convincing up to my VP level they finally at least agreed to have a healthy discussion with lawyer to see the pros and cons of converting the application to PERM while retaining PD.
My understanding is, there is no conversion. The old application from BPC has to be with drawn and re-filed under PERM. I meet other requirements to keep the PD like same job title etc..
Question is, H1 expires in Feb'07 and will apply for extension in Aug'06. Should I wait till Aug to have H1 extended using premium processing and then convert to PERM. Is there a risk of re-filing under PERM prior to H1 extension. PERM takes few months for the company to prepare, can they kick start the process now without withdrawing the LC?
thank you.

First of all please forgive me for creating a new thread. I am just trying to see whether any one in the same boat and what it could be.
I just found soft luds on my previous H1B which was approbed in 2006 Feb and I-140 which was approved in Dec - 2006 (I-140 lud was after one week of H1B Luf change). I wonder what it could be? I know there is no logic and it is hard to predict what it might be. May be some standard updates as some one suggested. But these two did not change in years.
Any way, any one in the same boat?
thanks

Hi All,
Here is my situation, would appreciate any advice or pls ping me if you are in the same boat.
I have approved an I140 from previous employer (A), (PD Mar 06) thinking that retrogression is a given for a long time I took up a full time job with employer(B), where I was consulting. My Labor and I140 has not yet been started with Emp B.
As E2, Eb3 ... is current upto Aug 17, I'm trying to file I145 based on Emp A. They are willing to file but putting a steep price (trying to take adv of the situation)
Questions
a. I know one can Self file I485, can I include my old employer job offer letter assuming that it would take > 180 days for USCIS to process the application in the mean time negotiage a deal with Emp A.
b. Self file I485, without Emp A offer letter, wait for RFE and in the mean time negotiate the deal with Emp A.
Any advice will be appreciated, please.

Hello i am running in to issues of how to get address changed. To give you guys previews. We were residing in Chicago till July ending. In August we moved to CT as my wife got a new job there. But since my work location is in IL , I requested my employer whether its possible to work remotely and its ok by law. He said u can change ur residential address and there is no need to amend LCa/H1b as there is no change in work location in my case. Fine for now.
I recently visited CT DMV and requested for CT state license. They denied to me saying that i need a CT employer letter or My employer should issue letter to DMV stating my work location changed. Neither of these are going to happen. For now i have my license and Plate from IL itself. I can still continue to maintain but renewing Plates and Pollution test are pain being in CT any ideas please ?

There is no time limit of out of status.
Once you are out of a company you are out of status.
So make sure Company B at least files your case before 15th.
