If I have an approved labor and switch attorneys, is it mandatory for current attorney to hand over the approved labor and all relevant documents to the new attorney or can he choose NOT to give it ?
Just wanted to run it by you guys and seek your views on it. I do know that the LC is employer's property .
Thanks.
You need your employer's approval, without them you cannot change the attorney. If employer's says yes, then you can switch attorney.

It is not clear to me why there is inconsistency on whatever they reply for the processing of NSC-->CSC-->NSC cases. Sometime I hear NSC mentions that these transfer cases would be processed based on CSC processing date (which doen't make sense because CSC stopped processing of I-485 caes, so how CSC processing date would move and the transferred case is waiting in NSC not in CSC) and sometime I hear NSC mentions those cases would be processed based on NSC processing date. Which one is actually true ?
I am wondering so far have we seen any approval from NSC for NSC-->CSC-->NSC transferred cases whose processing date RD/ND falls in 2007 (after the 2006 processing date of CSC).

I'm also seriously planning to file on my own. Well, there is no law that stops us, but certainly needs some tips from experienced people.
Infact as per the checklist, i have all the documents except a letter from employer. That i can get anytime. my big question is are there any other documents that need to be put together (which are not in checklist)
Any help seniors????
It is absolutely feasible to do this on your own. After all you are well educated by definition of your H1B visa. The only thing you need from your employer is the letter of employment and you will need a public notary to notarize the affidavit of support.
The rest you can put together yourself. Just filed for my husband and myself at the beginning of May, fingerprints done on June 4th. Going well so far.

Hi,
Looking at your current thread and all other previous threads related to the same topic, it seems clear that you have to start calling the concerned department as to why you have not yet received your applicant's green card. Looks like it is being processed as we speak based on the "Note from VB" you have posted. It's still better to call and find out. I am not sure who and what number to call for FB visa enquiries - but the data you give appears that your application is "ripe" for the plucking. There are lots of thread here suggesting how to get an info pass to talk to an Immigration Officer face to face. Search for the threads.
When you pose a question, can i suggest -
1. Give all the information that the readers needs to answer. For ex: we don't know which country the applicant is chargeable to.
2. And give all information in one thread. Make up your mind what your concern is and post the question(s) in one thread. Try not to put some question out there and hope it sticks.
Good luck.

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?

Hello everyone,
Please shed some light on this
I am going to a different Application Support Center than the one in my notice.
I am trying to locate the Application Support Center (ASC) close to where I live. Is there any information about the location of all the ASCs through out the country in the USCIS site?
If no how should I find/locate the nearest ASC to where I live?
The address of the ASC in my notice is in a different place. I want to go to the one that is near to where I live.
Thanks in Advance

My PD is Nov 24th 2005. EB2- India. Filed @NSC
Dates are current for my priority date. Havent heard anything USCIS on the primary or derivative case.
I opened a SR on 08/6th because the case should have been picked up based on their processing times. Haven't yet received any response on this.
I want to schedule an infopass appointment however looks like we need to wait for 30 days from the date of opening an SR, before scheduling this appointment.
Has anyone got slapped on the hand for not following this?
I have also sought help from my senator, however no useful information has come out of it.
Are their any other options available?
If you select the option "you need information" on a case, then you don't have to wait for 30 days. But no one can assure if the infopass will be helpful (irrespective of, wait or not wait for 30 days).
Try asking specific questions (when you call or go in person) like, is my name check cleared? background check cleared? pre-adjudicated? assigned to a io? etc. You might have to try more than once depending on the rep you talk to (talk to level 2 officers when you call). Good luck!!!

:confused: But the dates having moved beyond the April 2000 deadline ( may be temporarily), why should they not move fast when the VB was current for a long time and there should not be many cases after April 2000 those were not adjudicated. So I feel if the dates don't retrogress then they should move forward faster.

Hello all,
I need a clarification about the I-94 thing.
As I have mentioned previously, my husband got a 3 year extension on his H-1 ( I 140 approval ) till 08/2009 and he went to canada for stamping since we are planning to leave for India. He drove to canada and the officers at the border while entering into canada did not take his old I 94( expired 08/2006) which was on his older passport ( expired 04/2006). While on his way back to US, they stapled the lower part of his I-797 dated till 08/2009 to his new passport (current one) and stamped on the passport. But they did not put any date on the stamp where it shows'dated till'.
We are leaving for India tomorrow and have a couple of questions in this regard:
1. Is it okay to have two I 94's in the two different passpots? Has it happened to anyone who drove to canada that their older I 94 has not been taken?
2. While departing to India, which I-94 will be taken? the expired one on the older passport or the new one in the new passport. If the new one has to be taken, as it is a part of the original I-797 form, should it be surrendered to them?
We really appreciate your answers. Since we are travelling tomorrow, we are really concerned about this issue.
Thank you very much in advance.

Tourist visa is for tourism purpose only. You want advice to misuse the visa ?. 10 year multiple entry visa can be used number of times. But she stays more (like 6 month max) for each visit, after 2 such visit, within a small gap say 2-6 months, there is a chancce to blacklist her and may be allow for 1-2 months I-94, or deny her entry. They are smart to see the intension of people. They look for the pattern of visit.

My wife got EAD card while she was on H-4 (I am on h-1). She used it for few months. She got RFE for 485 for visascreen (for nurses). It looks like she will not be able to produce the visascreen certificate within the RFE date and after grace period (33 days after denial notice of RFE).
Now when she gets the denial notice for I-485, subsequently, the EAD status becomes invalid. in this case, what will be the staus?
H-4 or no staus?
Upon the denial, do i need to reapply for H-4 status or she gets the h-4 status automatically since she has H-4 and EAD evan though she used EAD in the past.
Currently on passport, the H-4 status expires on Feb 08.

Hi,
My wife is on H4 and her H1B petetion is filed in May(alongwith Change of Status) and is still in process. She travelled out of USA last month on emergency purposes and returned back recently.
If H1B approval comes, does she need to go to Canada/Mexico for getting visa stamping(i.e. what are chances of denial of Change of Status)?
Thnx.

Just want to share the info that i got from my immigration firm news letter
Under Section 265 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), all non-U.S. citizens who change their residential address are required to notify the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) within 10 days of the change. This applies to all adults and children (of any age) who are non-U.S. citizens, including U.S. green card holders.
A person who fails to notify the USCIS of a change of address within 10 days of the change is guilty of a misdemeanor under Section 266 of the INA. The penalty for failing to notify the government of the new address within 10 days is a fine of up to $200.00 or possible imprisonment for a period not to exceed 30 days, or both. However, the government has not enforced this section of the law that rigorously to date, and many notify the USCIS of their change of address well after the 10 day reporting period without an issue, but this could change. Since we have seen an increase in USCIS enforcement activities with respect to H-1B employers and H-1B workers, and since many H-1B employers place H-1B employees at client locations around the country for short-term assignments, it is very important that H-1B employees notify the USCIS each time they move within the 10 day reporting period.
In order to report a change of address to the USCIS you may download, complete, and mail a Form AR-11 or Form AR-11SR (Special Registrants Only) to the USCIS, or you may report your change of address, electronically, by visiting the USCIS web site (www.uscis.gov), and following the procedures provided by the USCIS

Hi there,
I am working for a small Indian consulting company with 60-70 employes. My H1b expires on Sep 30 2009 and initial extension for next 3 years was filed on a regular processing on May 13th and moved to premium processing on Jul 27th. I was working with an insurance client at the time it was filed and expedited thru premium processing. I also mentioned the client name and address at the time of filing extn.
Now I got below RFE asking for a supervisor name from the client (they also mentioned client's name in RFE)
1)The project name the beneficiary is assigned to
2)Whether there is a vendor through whom the beneficiary's services are provided;
3)The name of the vendor appilicable;
4)Whether the end client or the vendor supervises the beneficiary;
5)The name, title, contact information of the person who primarily supervises or will supervise the beneficiary at the worksite;
6)Whether the worksite has the ability to assign the beneficiary to a different employer.
The day I received RFE the contract between my company and end client came to surprise end(FATE!!).
Here are my Questions:
1) One of the major Indian software company is ready to give me offer and take me as their employee in US. Can I withdraw my petition thru my employer and ask Indian company to apply for a transfer before Sep 30th?
2) what will be the success rate of transfer after withdrawal? and consequences in my future GC processing ?
3) What if my employer withdraws petition and files new petition mentioning that I am working on in-house project. We have some work at in house too.
4) My employer also looking for other clients and hopefully I will get one soon. a) In this case Can I withdraw the petition and apply a new one with a new client information? b) or Respond the current RFE with new client details and explnation. (I heard that USCIS don't entertain this.)
5) what is the better option to get the extension approved out of above all? New suggestions also welcome
Thanks in advance.

Wait there is one more thing he needs to check if it single entry or multiple entry.
Entries: S (Single) or M (Multiple)
Since its a 10 Yr Visa it would be a M entry but no harm in double checking it right.

Not too shabby for your first attempts. You do need to use a smaller aperture, though. For example, on your shots of the mixing boards, guitar and railing (the one with all the circles), if you had used f/16 or f/22 instead of say f/5.6 you would have gotten a lot more "depth", ie: more stuff in focus, to the shots. This isn't to say that you always want everything in focus but sometimes you do.
Don't forget that the trick to using smaller apertures for maximum depth of field is to focus on the object (or point of an object) that is closest to the camera....everything else behind it will be in focus (even though it won't look that way when taking the shot.

Hi,
My H1 transfer got denied. My company said they are unlikely to file an MTR. I have a valid EAD and old company H1 (based on 140 approval) valid till Jan 2010.
Can i find other company and file a different H1 transfer based on my old company valid H1?
Please Advice.
Hi Vikram -
Since your H-1B transfer petition is denied, you are not in H1 status anymore. However, I would suggest consider applying for 3 year H1 based on approved I-140 (and PD is not current). It does not matter who applied for that I-140.
There is a chance that USCIS may approve this H1 without I-94. In that case, you need to get new visa stamp and reenter into US to get back into H-1B status.
Good Luck.
