Thanks for sharing the info.
Was it first h1 renewal (meaning 3rd year) or second h1 renewal (meaning 7th year).
Did you do anything extra to avoid PIMS delay (like when you renewed your h1) did your employer keep another copy with a notice saying send to Kentucky CC
How long was the gap between h1 renewal received and you going for stamping?
It was first H1b ext. Company did not send second copy to Kentucky CC . On roadside window where VFS does preliminary check , vfs person put PIMS forbid in DS 156. Dont know what does it mean. also h1b renewal was in nov 2008 and I went for .stamping in feb 2009.
One more thing VFS mumbai told me that they will not allow even US born child ( even new born ) if they are not applicant. Only applicant child ( those who are for h4 ) allowed inside. at delhi situation was totally different.

Generally an I-485 applicant can stay abroad till the Advanced Parole remains valid. In your case the best bet is to change the pending I-485 case to consular processing.

Labor/I-140/485/EB3 approved with PD of 2003. THe approved Labor had criteria that meets EB2 so trying to apply new I-140 in EB2 with the same labor. All is well except, lawyer concerned about the degree mentioned in labor is "computer science or equivalent" and I have "electronics engineering". One education evaluator said my degree is equivalent to electrical engineering which I disagree. I believe it is equivalent to Computer science. So two questions:
1. In the worst case of denial of new I-140 AND revoking of an approved I-140 and denial of I-485 due to degree issue, can I
continue to stay and work in US for the next 3 years of an approved H1B extension.
If you get the extension before the I-140 denial, you can continue. Otherwise no
2. WHat are the chances of EB2 approval and conversion based on the slight difference in the degree above? How do I improve, if chances of success are bleak
50:50. There is nothing you can do as USCIS increased the scrutiny for EB2. There is a chance that you are inviting the devil.
Appreciate advice.

That is not entirely true. Websites like Indymedia are NOT the same as the Fox News Network. This organization is the new equivalent of MoveOn.org.
When I have taken the effort to tell people the real issues at hand with the legal immigration reform needed, they DO CARE.
Indymedia is effectively a news blog run by an organization with liberal, activiist sensibilities.
We must remain open minded and creative when thinking of other avenues to spread the word. A very quick look at the site and they show TREMENDOUS support for immigration rights.

My spouse and I are currently on H1-B and we applied for EAD and I-485 with my spouse as the primary applicant through his company.
Do I have to wait for 180 days before I change employers and start using the EAD (since I am the secondary applicant)? Or can I use my EAD as soon as I get it?
Thank you!

This means if you filed 485 on July 2nd you should get a reject letter in the next 25 days unless they retrogress on this as well.
Where did you get "25" days from? Also, wouldn't it depend whether you sent it to NSC or TSC?
Thanks,
Jayant

Hi all,
I graduated this June and started working in a company on my OPT status (valid July 2009 to July 2010) since July until now. In October, my company filed H-1B petition, and on Nov 24, we got approval notice I-797B (without I-94) instead of I-797A, as well as a DENIAL of concurrent change of status.
Shortly after we filed the petition, I took a short trip to my home country and then come back(with OPT status) on Nov 1.
In the notice, it states "...the beneficiary departed the US on Oct. 15 2009, thereby abandoning the requested change of status. As such, the beneficiary has failed to maintain his F-1 status. Accordingly, the concurrent request for change of nonimmigrant status is denied."
I am really confused here because I re-entered the US with my F-1 OPT status on Nov. 1 without any issue.
What should I do now in order to get my H-1B visa? Am I still maintaining F-1 status (legally staying in the US) even if it stated that I have failed to??
Great Thanks in advance!!

Please help.
I entered US on H1B status. After entering on H1b, I switched job using EAD.
I am e-filing I-765 form and am stuck at the Current Immi status question.
Manner of Last Entry into the U.S.: H1B
What will be my CURRENT IMMIGRATION STATUS: ? :confused:
1.
Should I select PAR:PAROLEE or H1B: as some of the older post suggest here?
THank you for your help!

Some had mentioned in immigration forums that you might be grilled with questions during naturalization process if you had changed employer as soon as you got your GC.If you are not planning for naturalization I assume you are fine.
A 6 month stay with current employer after GC is advised for a smooth naturalization process in future.But this is dark area as there are no posts from GC turned citizens about their experiences.
Thats not exactly true in the context of this thread. You have to work for your GC sponsorer for some period of time before changing employer. Pooch was mentioning his/her GC sponsorer is future employer. So after the GC is approved, he/she has to work for that GC sponsorer not the current employer.

H1B Immigrants are fighting with each other on websites and here antis are discussing this
First of all, is your profile legitimate? It shows your PD as Dec'07 / EB3/India and you are in 485 processing??????
anyway, as long as some fools doesn't admit the facts and realize the changing world, all those forums / blogs / hatred etc; will be just a waste of their time. ofcourse they have been wasting watching stupid games in TVs / Stadiums instead could use 'that' time to gain some new skills / learn new technologies that are required to survive in the job market.

I opened a SR on July 24 2008. My priority date was going to be current starting Aug 2008, but still representative was kind enough to open SR for me . Guess at that time they were not getting bombarded by volume of calls.
It is almost 20 days and I have not received any response. CSR say it takes upto 45 days to respond.
- Did any body get a response back on their SR
- How much time it took to get response
- What format response is - Email / Letter / Call (are there any LUD's also)
- What is the content / detail level of response [Considering most of us are opening SR for case status and pending NC]
Thanks in advance
[ I am reposting this thread because in previous one I made mistake in subject, and didn't know how to edit it]
they have 60 days for sr..that is what the rep told me

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced that it has posted a revised Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Form I-485. In addition to a revised form, there are new filing locations. The changes are part of an overall effort to transition the intake of USCIS benefit forms from Service Centers to Lockbox facilities. Centralizing form and fee intake allows USCIS to provide the public more efficient and effective initial processing of applications and fees.
Beginning February 25, 2010, most applicants must submit Form I-485 to a USCIS Lockbox facility, depending on the eligibility category under which they are filing, as provided in the form instructions. USCIS Service Centers will forward all Form I-485 applications to the appropriate Lockbox facility until March 29, 2010. USCIS will accept previous versions of Form I-485 until March 29, 2010. After March 29, 2010, USCIS will only accept the Form I-485 dated �12/03/09.�Any previous versions of the the form that are submitted will be rejected. After the transitional period, the Service Centers will return any incorrectly filed Form I-485 with instructions to send the application to the correct location.
At this time, applicants should not concurrently file Form I-485 with an Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (Form I-140) at a USCIS Lockbox facility. Refer to the Form I-140 filing Instructions for information on how to file forms concurrently.
When filing Form I-485 at a Lockbox facility, you may elect to receive an email and/or text message notifying you that USCIS has accepted your application. To receive notification, you must complete an E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance (Form G-1145), and attach it to the first page of your application.
For more information on USCIS programs, visit (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis) or call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

1) I got my EAD 3 months back. Also received my AP in Oct. Typically how long is the journey from EAD to actual GC?
There is no correlation between the two. GC is based on your priority date and nationality
2) When does the 180 day period for AC21 begin? The day I sent my 140/485 packet or the receipt date (behind the cashed check) of my 140/485 application?
The sending date has no significance. It should be the receipt date (sometimes notice date is 'better')
3) Now that I have my EAD, do I need to do anything at this point? I already have a SSN. Does the SSN change after getting EAD? Do I need to apply for I-9 or something?
If you are working on H1, nothing
4) Have people been successful with AC21? What if I want to move on to another role (different in responsibilities from my current role)? Can I still use AC21?

It looks to me like they made a mistake on the valid dates for the new EAD. That happened to me last year, I received my new EAD card and it was only good for 1.5 months.
I had to mail them the card and after a couple of calls and some headaches they sent me a new EAD card, this time valid for 2 years.
Good luck!
