Hi All
I did paper based filing through lawyer on may 5 with check $340 has been encashed and I waited now 2 weeks but still there is no receipt notice in mail.
SO i called my bank and ask them whether there any receipt number on the back of check but agent told me that there are no 13 digit number just bank stamp and there is only one 9 digit number that he has given me but on the case status thats a invalid number
Please help as I am worried that if evry thing is fine or should I e-file as well as my licence is also expiring next month now how should get a reciept number
Thanks in Advance...
if you efile ..you will end up paying $340 again. when is yr EAD expiring and why did you wait so long ?? if you think the lawyer filled everything correctly then I would say wait for a week (consult yr lawyer too) !!

I have received FP notices both for my wife and myself for both 485 & 765. Code 3 ,2 . The question is :I dont know how FP process works. My wife has very smooth and sweaty hands. When i applied for Canadian immigration during FBI FP process even after n no. of attempts we couldnt get good prints on FP Sheet using INK. Ofcourse through speaking with Canadian Consulate they gave her an exemption over this. Now many of my friends have informed me that FP process is Electronic is this true?
I think she has no problem with electronic FP as US consulate could take her FP's when initially she went for H4 in i ndia. please comment.

h1bjava, why are you so much worried about denial. why are you thinking so -ve to start with.
I am not sure whether its true/law/rule, but my employer's general counsel informed me that i can do it 3 months ahead of the expiration.
To answer your red flag, i don't know. You must talk to your employer/lawyer about the possible "6month ahead plan" of applying the h1b ext.

I am definitely NOT counting on it..Its been while since I though about my long- lost application.
Just thought I would post a question in the hope that someone would say the PD would advance to 2007..Just to keep me going:)

I do not know about I485...
but it is not hard to get copies of W2. IRS has a service that will give you copies of your fed tax papers including W2s in 60 days. You can also ask you employer, they ususlay keep a copy.

Hi,
My Priority date is May 02 2007.
I file 485 and 140 in August.
My Grandfather is a US citizen. He filed immigration petition for my Dad in 1996 and I was part of it. Before priority date become current I was age out.
Can I port my Earlier(Family Base) PD to new application(Employment Base) ?
Thank you,
Rashesh

So guys just off the phone with a very decent IO at NSC . talked to her 30 mins, yes you are right 30 mins..which is unheard off..
the questions that I asked were very simple
Q1. Hello Maam, i would like to know the status of my I485
A1. This is not the place to ask for status
Q2: But, Maam, I wanted to know where my case stands as people with PDs and RDs later than mine (mine is March 2006 and July 26 2007) are being adjudicated
A2: Well, we cannot disclose anybody else's case, but each case is different, so we dont know
Q3: Okay, but can u tell me if my namecheck has been cleared (although i checked a week back and another IO told me it was cleared)
A3: No, for privacy purposes we cannot disclose this info
Q4: Okay then can you tell me why there was a LUD on my approved I40 on 7/13. (guess there were lots of us who had this)
A4: Yes, I can tell you that, what is your Receipt number
Q5. Here is my recpt number
A5: Okay it looks like your I140 was filed at Texas and they sent the file over to us. we consolidated that with your I485
Q6: Does that mean that my case is being worked upon
A6: No it does not mean that. This step is one of many many steps that are required for 485 processing. so this will not tell you anything
Q7: Is my case assigned to a IO
A7: No we cannot give this info, and even if you have this info, it is useless info as the center is going towards Backlog.
Q8: Then what is the meaning of processing dates as issued by USCIS
A8: They dont mean much,. they are just a gestimation of where things stand, and as off now the centers are facing backlog. there is lot of restructuring going on within the centers. The place to check is on the website., any change will be reflected there and it is upto date.
This was the gist of my call with the IO today.. w
What is the bottom line?
Sit tight and things will move only when USCIS wants.. nothing will happen otherwise..
so guys good luck to all of us.....
cheers

Hi everyone,
I really need somebody's advice on what to do next. Here is some info:
Im holding F-1 Visa, currently on OPT status until 08/2011. Filed I-140 in August 2010 as EB1 extraordinary ability - athletics.
My achievements in athletics:
1. Been in sport for 10 years.
2. Member of the National team 2003-2006.
3. Member of the University team 2006-2010.
4. Many times National Champion and prize winner of my own country.
5. Participant of World Cups and hold medals of European Championships.
6. Published in local, regional and some National newspapers at home and some local newspapers here in States.
Many others to go, but those are the major ones.
Did premium processing, got Intend to Deny. Submitted more paperwork, got denial in November 2010.
All this time had a lawyer, paid a lot of money, but as you can see, it didnt quite work out. He claimed to be a professional in this field. Never got denials before.
USCIS critique:
1. Membership in the national team is not sustained from 2006, therefore it doesnt count.. (But, I was here in states all those years, couldnt travel because was in school, plus I have a letter from a President of Athletic Federation for my sport, saying that according to my results that I showed while here in States, I would be the member easily all these years). Overall, USCIS didnt find membership in the National team to be extraordinary..
2. Some national publications are too short, there has to be a huge article about me. In regional newspapers I have huge articles, but newspapers are considered not major (however, they are professional)
Out of all criteria, they only approved one - national award. Membership and publications are not meeting the criteria. I had about 250 pages of supporting documentation.
I am very upset and dont know what to do. I am afraid to hire the lawyer, because all of them say that my case is pretty good, but we already lost a lot of money for nothing. I do not want to repeat the same mistake. My Lawyer suggested appealing the decision, but it would cost me about 15,000 more and about several years o processing. I just do not have such money and time.
I have decided to reapply and need some advice on how to go about it. I will be a self petitioner, luckily there is no employer offer needed. I may hire some lawyer, but if it is not too expensive - I need the one that knows what he is doing.
I would greatly appreciate any information. Thanks.

perhaps we should have "Addictive! Beware" warnings in the home page :D

My wife is so jealous that if she sees IV site on my PC she asks me to change goo(shit in English) filled dipers of our baby...:eek:

Employer can revoke 140 but as 180 days have passed you will have to demonstrate to USCIS that your 140 would have been approved with the new company if it was filed. That is somewhat not very straightforward so my suggestion is that you should take your employer in confidence so that 140 is not revoked......
AC21 - Job title can be different but job duties have to be similar. Similar duties are a MUST to avoid any issues with AOS.......also you dont have to inform USCIS that you changed your employer........there are pros and cons of it but what I have seen is that most people do not infrom USCIS......when USCIS comes to a point that they will adjust your status they might check with you if you are working with same employer and issue a RFE which you can respond to easily with the help of an attorney (just hv to make sure that job duties are similar and the new employer will issue you a letter which will prove it)
Make sure that you talk to HR and your manager if you take up a new job to acertain that job duties match, run both job descriptions by your attorney......better to take precaution than to be sorry.

If you are a IV member living in NY and want to be actively engaged in the NY chapter activities, please send a PM to bottlemani. If all those in NY get together, it will be easier to plan joint visits to congress people: house members and senators. Even if you don't have a car, we will be able to coordinate better if we know you are willing to spare some time.
I am sure there are many members in NY. It is a big state with several businesses.
Please do remember: we have to do something more actively in order to get out of this mess. The more we procrastinate, the worse it will get. If you have suggestions, regardless of whether you live in NY, please do post them here.
As a first step, please put your name on the NY chapter.

Hi,
My H1 B is valid until 2010 (mar). But considering my entry/exit (I94) dates - I will be completing my 5 years in next 2 months.
My query:
1. Do I have time until 2009 (mar) for filing the Labor?
2. Can I file GC in the 6th year of H1 B, if yes what are the consequences?
Thanks in advance

VISA things are getting ridicules
My wife's passport was received from Delhi Consulate after about 21 business days.
My wife attended the H4 interview on Jan-11 and the VO asked 3 basic question of what does your husband do, what do you do and why are you going. No pink or green or any slip was given and nor my wife was told that her visa hasa been approved. All she was told was that they have to do some background processing after which they will send the passport back.
So what was supposed to be 2-3 days of work stretched for ever, off course flights had to be cancelled and wife had to drop the semester and my daughter had to miss the school as well. My wife's AP was approved after she had left for India,so couldn't even use that.
I know there is nothing an applicant can do or not do, but it just bothers me how much anguish this causes to not just the applicant but all of the immediate family and there is nothing that can be done.
I wish good luck to all who are stuck and hopefully in future this process might be more streamlined and have faster turnaround.
