The AP (which is a travel document) just allows you to enter the country (or like I mentioned before) to apply for permission to enter the US.
The I-94 determines your status and the date on the I-94 (and in the passport) is the date till which you are allowed to be in the US as a parolee. This is usually one year from the date you enter the US as a parolee. The assumption is that you get your GC before that one year is up - and it has worked histrorically - but we now know better, thanks to the July 2007 fiasco.
Think of this analogy - AP is like the H1B visa, based on which you fill out the I-94. The I-94 determines the validity of your status.
At some point you might have to get a new I-94 issued (not sure how; maybe local USCIS office can issue you one) if it happens that you don't travel internationally before that one year is up.
Once you have no valid H1 or L1, you technically are a foreigner without a visa. CBP, by law, can't admit anybody in without a visa, and hence the work-around of AP (which is an authorization to CBP to let you, a foreigner, in, in inspite of you not having a valid visa). One yr stamp by CBP is a workaround for another law for people who are admitted without a visa. Idea behind this is to determine what to do with you (person in the US without a visa) within that one year. AOS/EAD are other workarounds for managing govt inefficiency for those already in the country (but not for entry to the country). Complex maze of work-arounds !!

Lawyer: When we get the receipt notice we will immediately submit the correct marriage certificate, till then be married to other person :)
So I guess from legality point of view its not a major issue. Hopefully none of you guys will have to go through this issue.
Another thing is that receipts for application that reached USCIS on June 28th, are reaching the law office, so hang in there for a week or two for July receipts.

Waiting for 180 days is hard....but its even harder for folks like me, who are waiting for 140 approval..The way things are, looks like it sgonna take much longer than 180 days for 140 approval...Only then I can even think of using AC21....But no complaints...Patience pays...:)
You are not as bad as you think. Read USCIS guidance on the subject. If your I-140 is not approved by 180 days, you can still use AC21. In that case, the adjudicator while looking at your I-485, sees if filed I-140 was approvable. If so, you are good to go, provided you can prove that you have a new same/similar job offer.

It took me 6 days to get my approval and about another week to get the card in the mail. This happened in September of this year and I was registered in the Texas Service Center.
That is assuming that you have gone through your biometrics appointment.
If the Skil bill passes, a lot of people will have their PDs current. At that time, if their 485 processing is complete (according to new guidelines if they show date X/X/XX on the service centers, it means they are done with your processing), I wonder what will happen. When USCIS says, it is done with processing your 485, it may not mean it is done with the name check. So starving dog's name check was also complete by the time they finished processing his/her485.

What is meant by 3 years experience before immigrant petition in SKIL Act.
Now I have more than 5 years of US experience, will I fall into this category when I file I-485.
It means a shit if a bill doesn't pass. As of right now, news reports have started suggesting that there may not be any immigration bill this year, which could imply - no immigration bill until 2009.
Also, could we please STOP looking at how a specific provision would benefit you personally? Let me guess the title of your next post….
“When will I get my green card”
Right?

Something does not sound right here. How can the employer "misplace" the upper portion of the approval notice? In the first place, why did he even separate the upper portion and the lower portion? He is supposed to give you the entire document as a single piece of paper.
Some thing really does not sound right here. By law, he is required to give you the approval notice.
Thanks for the reply. It says on the document itself that the petitioner should keep the upper portion of the notice and give the lower portion to the worker.
Does anyone know the procedure to get the duplicate and how long it takes?

Bolt,
Could you please update this post? Per the post, I got some points:
1. Your H1B extension denied and your I-94 card is expired
2. You filed H1B transfer again using premium processing
3. You got approval
Did you get a new I-94 card since your I-94 is expired?
Do you need to leave the USA for stamp?

Hello GreatGuy
You can be a lil more cordious and polite :rolleyes:
At least if you expect somebody to answer your question.
Hey guys knock it off. Labor substitution is legally allowed
till date. If this guy get a pre approved labor let him accept
it and get ahead. Nobody blocks you to accept pre approved
labor. I'm retrogressed with PD of 2003 on EB3 India. But for
that reason I dont think I'm going to shout at somebody using
a pre approved labor and get ahead of me.
Now to answer you question Mr GREAT.
DOL can replace if its not approved. Mainly they look at the
education and experience.
This situation can be a lil dicey. If I were you I would
get the reference no or something of that labor cert and verify
all the details. Secondly I would do a thorough research on this
employer. It would have been a lil better if its already approved.
On 2002 I got a pre approved labor offer. I got a copy of
the labor from this employer and had it looked by an attorney.
Atty said its a lil risky to accept it. So I did not take it.
Good luck GREAT. I expect you to be a lil more polite on these
forums.

Your employer should contact VSC immediately using the contact channels set up for premium processing cases (I believe they have dedicated email addresses and telephone numbers for premium processing).
Hi Thank you all,
Today (03/15/2010) my employer got Receipt No mail from VSC. It says that VSC Received date is 03/12/2010 and the count of 15 days will start from 03/12/2010.But FedEx Delivery date is 03/04/2010.
Does they process premium processing like this?

We should better target each and every senators/congress in the judicial panel which oversees immigration with a message and a request to look into VB fiasco and recapturing of EB numbers .
May be some of those message through flowers / community services in that particular leader district /meeting them with a group of people

Due to the denial of your H-1B extension, you did not have any underlying non-immigrant status at the time of filing the H-1B transfer. IF your petition gets approved, normally USCIS will only approve it with consular processing. Assuming your H-1B extension was successful, they will approve a transfer.
8 months is a long time for a pending H-1B. You should immediately follow up. Since it is a premium processing, you should be able to send an email to the premium processing division. I would be very worried if the case is taking so long.

Nope. My lawyer did a mistake to correct himself he applied though dates were not current.
What do you think now? any suggestion.
I won't be too worried about that, worst case scenario you might get an RFE.

Hello,
My wife is applying for a good job at the European Union, and I do not see why can't she get accepted. We've been stuck in this mess for a while and I am getting tired of irrespectful treatment when entering the country, even when you are here legally, limited career, etc,etc
We can legally work in Europe, but how is the market in Belgium for an electrical engineer (firmware, hardware, project manager exp)?
Anybody have any experience or know something about it? salaries, cost of live, etc
Regards
