What is your LC Priority date? Many of my friends had used LC Sub with PD earlier to Dec 2004 and all their applications were approved in TSC. The yardstick for transfer of LC sub cases from TSC to NSC is mystery and we have to find a way to solve it.

Hi
My H1 is due for extension this year end.
Valid period of H1 remaining is 1 1/2 year since extension
I understand that H1 extension has to go through the rigorous procedure nowadays.
It needs client letter stating that project will last for 1 year.
Getting such letter is not possible.
So having I140 approved makes thing easy for H1 extension? Or same process for h1 extension is followed
Please reply
Thanks
Abbey
Having I-140 approved only makes you eligible for a 3 yr extension, provided you submit all the documents required in normal H1 process. So, you still have to go through the same process.

If you travel abroad when the change is status is pending, the change of status is deemed withdrawn. Pls contact your immigration lawyer, so that he can work with USCIC to get the new I-94 details on the petition.
If the petition was approved before the travel happened, then all that you need to do is to start working and get a visa stamp of H1 when you go out of the country.

I received an RFE for my EAD renewal.
It says "Please submit proof that you have filed an I-485 Application"
I have a copy of my receipt of I-485. Would that be enough to send? Why would they ask for proof of I-485? This is my second EAD renewal.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

The Sojourners are condemning the new law and promising civil disobedience. Here is their leader Reverend Jim Wallace's statement: The law signed today by Arizona Gov. Brewer is a social and racial sin, and should be denounced as such by people of faith and conscience across the nation. It is not just about Arizona, but about all of us, and about what kind of country we want to be. It is not only mean-spirited - it will be ineffective and will only serve to further divide communities in Arizona, making everyone more fearful and less safe. This radical new measure,...

Hello all,
If my GC is approved, is my employer bound by obligation he gave to USCIS when he filed I140 petition?
I mean, in I140 employer explicitly stated my future wage, it is 20% higher then wage I am getting from him while I am on H1B.
Say, my GC is approved and employer refuses to raise my wage to match the amount given in I140. Is there any way to make him stick to this obligation? Like, complaining to DOL, or where else? And if I complain, can it affect validity of my GC?
The problem is after GC I have to stay with this employer for another 6 months to avoid possible complications in future applying for citizenship. If I just quit and take another job - that will make a possible problem in the future; but if he lays me off, then I am fine. But he does not want to lay me off, and does not want to keep his promise. Any ideas?

if you want to get h4 extension , you will have to file I539 not 524.
BTW, your h4 extension will be denied, if you are not extending your H1
Thank you very much for the advise.Is the I524 the only form that I have to fill.Please advise on this......

My lawyer sent my wife EAD renewal papers to VSC.
Our cases at at TSC presently. I asked him to sent it to TSC but he said since the original EAD / AP were approved by VSC the renewal has to also go to VSC.
I am not sure what is going to happen. I have not seen my cheques cashed nor have received the package back?
FedEx trackinh number says it was received at VSC on July 10.
Can anybody shed some light whats going to happen next ?????

I did it in Ottawa. At that time we could get the visa stamped the same day in Ottawa. Now I think we need to wait for one more day (2 days in all). But make sure you read the Consulate website before proceeding. Different consulates have slightly different procedures.
You have to book the dates for the interview online. Once the date is booked, the Consulate will send you a confirmation letter. You can apply for a Canadian Visitor visa showing this letter.
The Consulate has given a list of required documents. Carry all of them. Also try to get all documents listed on the Chennai consulate too (they have listed more documents), that way you are safe.
Since Canada is almost like the United States, you wont feel that you have reached a strange land. You just feel like you are in another US city!
Thanks for that information! How long did it take you to get it stamped? Did you have to book a date with the consulate there? Can you give me a little walk through?
Thanks again

San Diego Restaurant, The French Gourmet Inc., indicted recently for knowingly making false attestations on I-9 Forms, hiring employees unauthorized to work in the U.S., and employing those aliens after learning of their ineligibility to work. U.S. v. The French Gourmet Inc. is the case, and you can read it here:
French gourmet compalint (http://www.slideshare.net/usvisalaw/french-gourmet-compalint)View more documents (http://www.slideshare.net/) from usvisalaw (http://www.slideshare.net/usvisalaw).
In May 2008, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents executed a criminal search warrant at, The French Gourmet, and have taken workers suspected of being illegally in the country into custody. ICE has arrived at worksites with both criminal and civil warrants. It has searched businesses, frozen bank accounts, and arrested not only employees but also employers. This recent indicment sends a clear message to employers.
We keep reminding employers to ensure compliance with the I-9 requirements under IRCA, a company should establish an I-9 policy that includes:
* The proper and timely completion and retention of Form I-9 for all employees hired after November 6, 1986;
* Zero-tolerance for the employment of individuals who do not provide the proper identity and employment eligibility documents for Form I-9;
* A tickler system for I-9s that require reverification;
* I-9 training for all company representatives who are part of the recruitment, orientation, and hiring processes for the company; and
* Regularly scheduled in-house I-9 audits.
Conducting self-audits puts a company in better position if it becomes the subject of an ICE investigation. While employers cannot verify whether documents used for employment authorization are authentic, self-audits establish good-faith compliance.

Computer would not let officer open SR if your application is well within processing time. So I am not sure, how your SR was opened. Wait for your time to come and your GC would be approved.

Because you have already been counted in the H-1 quota for FY 2008, you should be able to file for a change of status to H-1 without again being subject to the quota and should not have to wait.

I was on H-1 and got laid off on July 23. I filed for COS to H4 online on the same day and got the electronic receipt the same day. As I had filed I-539 after work hours, the receipt shows that USCIS received my application on July 26 instead of 23. I got the paper receipt in next 3 days. I hope this will not create any problems as my employer sent notification to USCIS on July 31 and I received my last paystub on July 31 though it was only till July 23. I have been working in US with good status for last 5 years.
Now I have some questions. Any help is greatly appreciated:
1) I recently got two Job offers from different consulting firms. When I told them that my H4 status is still pending, their attorneys told me conflicting things.
- One employer's attorney said that I have to wait till my H4 is approved and only then they could apply for my H1. At this time I have not status and they cannot file my H1.
- The other employer's attorney said that I could apply for H1 while my H4 is still pending by giving pending petition reference in the new H1 application. This will let USCIS adjudicate both the pending status together and there will be no problem for my H1.
Which one of them is correct ? What are the risks involved if I go with the advice of second attorney? Is there a possibility that filing H1 increases the chances the both my H4 and H1 applications are rejected and I could be OOS ?
2) Second question is that the second employer wants me to start immediately after I get H1 receipt. Am I eligible to work on a receipt with my situation or do I need to wait for the complete approval ? What if I get an RFE ? As this is a consulting firm, they have work order from end client for only 3 months and it will be renewed after every 3 months. Will this 3 month work order will create any problems ?
3) What is my current status ? Will the current time while H4 is pending will be counted against H1 or H4 ? As I have only a little over year left in my H1, it is important for me to know how much valid time I have left for H1. This processing time could go in months if I get an RFE.

To my knowledge, the PD field is always blank for EAD reciept notices.
I e-filed EAD renewal. On the I-797 Notice of Action that they mailed me, the "Priority Date" field is blank. The same is true for my last EAD notice of action as well which I did not check last time. Is it normally blank?
Is anybody else in the same boat?

there are 2 scenarions in the situation:
1. if the petition was not selected through the lottery system , you lawyer must have got the entire package back alongwith the application fees. He would have recieved this package in May itself.
2. If the petition was selected through the lottery system, you lawyer must have recieved reciept notice stating that USCIS is processing the H1-B petition. If the petition was filed properly then your lawyer will recieve the approval before October (most of my friends have already recieved their H1-B approval notcies)
If the peition was selected..you can ask your lawyer for the reciept notice number and track the progress of the petition on the USCIS website.
Hope this helps.

hello,
I have an EAD and have an approved labor and I-140 approved for over 180 days with my employer.
I am interested in knowing the clarity on SOC (speciality occupation codes) with AC21.
My current labor when filed has details in my ETA9089 form as -
1. SOC - 151051
2. Job Title - Computer Consultant/Programmer Analyst
3. Skill Level - II
4. Wage offered - $76k
5. Prevailing wage - 60k
I have a new job offer, from another company whose details are -
1. Job Title - Managing Consultant
2. Wage offered - $120k
This job would require me to play a role of Manager/Supervisor, Architect and also code.
Im not sure what SOC code the new company would offer me? From the latest bls.gov SOC guide "Supervisors of workers in Major Groups 13-0000 through 29-0000 usually have work experience and perform activities similar to those of the workers they supervise, and
therefore are classified with the workers they supervise."
So besides similar job duties does it require SOC compatibility for AC21?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you hpandey for the clarification. If I apply H1B extension in premium processing in apr itself, I will know soon if it will go through or not. My plan is to apply H1B transfer immediately to a new employer in case of H1B extension denial from the current employer, as I will still have valid H1B for few more months till Sep 09.
One more doubt I have is whether it will raise a red flag for USCIS, if I apply premium processing in apr 09 for extension from oct 1st 09 or will it be fine. Please let me know.
