Hi,
I got my I-140 approved last week at Texas Service Center and the status was Approval notice sent. Today, I got an email from CRIS mentioning this case has been transferred to Nebraska Service Center for processing where my I-485 is pending.
Can anybody throw some light on this?
Thanks,

Hi
I have been listening to the Senate proceedings for last few days & I'm very unhappy to say that so far there has been no mention of legal immigrants.None of our issues have been discussed or debated.I was thinking after doing so much of hard work ( especially by the VI team ) & all the contributions,lobbying, we would get some changes done but looks like ..
I'm not being negative here, but its just a thought.

Hi,
My wife is going to apply for both H4 and H1 visa. Since marriage is in March end, she will come to US on H4 visa. Her H1 visa will be applied as if she were in India. Now her I94 will say H4. Once she gets her H1B, she will have to go out of country to get new I94.
We can go to Mexico to get it stamped and hence get new I94. If for some reason, H1B is rejected, can she still enter the US on H4 visa?
Thanx,
My advice - Bring her in using H4 visa stamped on her passport based on your H1B. The H1, even if she gets (in the 2009 quota which needs to be applied on April 1st 2008) cannot be used before Oct 2008 as all new H1s can be used only from the month of Oct. That H1B approval will come with its I-94 attached. Once October arrives, she can start working on her H1B. She does not need to go anywhere to get it stamped.
When you go out of USA on vacation the next time, she can have her H1B visa stamped on her passport.

It is better and more meaningful to do yearly predictions rather than monthly predictions. This way, we will waste less time and atleast see the dates moving by a few days.

Based on these reasons:
1. EB legals doesn't really count when it comes to the consideration. For one, the numbers that are suffering are too small; for two, what you go through is nothing in the eye of Kennedy's --- you have a job, you have enough food, you are not dying in the desert....you are having a pretty decent life, except that you wanted more;
2. Senators like Sessions can still argue that "so many legal people are waiting in the line", because you are indeed still waiting even though you can now file 485. So allow you to file doesn't really change their argument;
3. What makes you think that if you shut up they are going to have a easy day? It's not like that you have any teeth to bite any way.
So the PD moves forward is definitely a good thing regardless how CIR plays out.
Mark my words.... President Bush will single handedly make sure to pass the bill as it is.....
No one can stop it.
Do you all think it is just a co incidense that all the dates became current just when this bill (which was supposed to be in grave :rolleyes: ) is revived by those who extremely opposed it?
Do you know how many people will stop giving a damn, because they just filed their 485 s?
People like me who are result of bad practice employers are still here, and lucky ones will depart.....
We have been dealt a crucial blow here.

Thanks much for your reply, BumbleBee.
There will be a great chance that my parent company will close down my current company after I'm transferred to them. I don't think my current employee will withdraw my I-140 case in the future. Hopefully that I-140 will go thru so I can use its PD for my future PERM/I-140 application.

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Senator Sessions cannot leave his hands off of E-Verify. Now in "stealth" mode, Senator Sessions has slyly introduced an E-Verify amendment (SB 1371) during today's full Senate vote on the DHS appropriations bill.
The Sessions amendment calls for a permanent reauthorization of the Basic Pilot/E-Verify program, and mandates its use for all federal contractors and subcontractors - including the verification of all existing employees. This amounts to a massive expansion of a program that is still not ready for prime-time.
We must call our Senators and tell them to oppose this sneak attack by Senator Sessions for the following reasons:
It would impose exorbitant costs on businesses at a time when our economy is most vulnerable:
An economic analysis commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
concluded that the net societal costs of the program would be $10 billion a year
� a cost that would be felt disproportionately by small businesses. It would make Basic Pilot/E-Verify permanent without addressing its well documented database inaccuracies:
A 2007 independent evaluation of the program commissioned by DHS found that
the Basic Pilot/E-Verify database �is still not sufficiently up to date� to meet
the requirements for �accurate verification.�
SSA has estimated that if Basic Pilot/E-Verify were to become mandatory and
the databases were not improved, SSA database errors alone could result in 3.6
million workers a year being misidentified as not authorized for employment.
This would result in 6 out of every 100 workers having to visit an SSA office to
correct their records or lose their job.
It would force workers and businesses to pay a high price for Basic Pilot/E-Verify's inaccuracies:
Queries submitted to Basic Pilot/E-Verify by Intel Corporation in 2008 resulted
in nearly 13 percent of all workers being initially flagged as unauthorized for
employment. All of these workers were cleared by Basic Pilot/E-Verify as
work-authorized, but only after �significant investment of time and money�
and �lost productivity.�We urge all AILA members to call their Congressman today and oppose the Sessions amendment (SB 1371). Don't let Senator Session's stealth tactics create a nationwide crisis for employers!

I was in united states for 5 years and 2 months on H1-B visa. I did not apply for green card during my stay and had to return to India in Aug'2008 due to personal reasons. I want to find out if I am eligible for applyng H1 in this year's quota through same employer with whom I had earlier H1.
Here is my situation -
1. My H1-B petition is valid till 12th July 2009. My passport is not stamped to reflect this date.
2. I came back to India for good on 31st August 2008.
3. If I go back to US before 12th July, I will only get extension for remaining 10 months (as I was in us for 5 years and 2 months). But I want to go for couple of years, so have to go on new visa after completion of 1 year in India.
So I want to check if I am eligible for filing H1-B in this year's quota through same employer ?

Hi,
I am in a fixed situation and in big dilemma.
My H1 is expiring in 2007 June first week.
My current employer's (A) attorney is useless and I had to struggle for a year to get my labor filed.
Labor got approved recently and still struggling to file my I-140 in premium.
Meanwhile, I got an offer for permanent employment in a good organization (B).
I would like take that offer but issues that are bothering me are:
1. If I wait and finish my I-140 with current company (A), do I have to get 3 years H1 extension with Company (A) before transferring to company (B)?
2. Do company (B) have rights to extend my H1 visa for 3 years with I-140 approval from current company (A)?
3. Is it safe to switch companies immediately after I-140 approval? I thought 180 days time is preferred but I don�t have the luxury of waiting for 180 days.
Please help me with these questions.
Thanks!!!

Here is my situation.....
My EB3 140 approved with priority date 01June2002 --> Company A
My EB2 140 pending with priority date 10May2006 -->Company A (different title...future position)
Can i port my EB3 priority date (June 2002) to EB2 application & apply I-485?.If i do, will my EB3 140 gets invalid?.I will need to file 3 year H1B extn(in Oct) based on my approved EB3 application & don't want to loose my approved 140.
Thanks in advance for your help.
The portability of I-140 priority date should be done at the time the I-140 is filed. So when your EB-2 I-140 was filed, you should have requested it at that time. There is a column on the Form I-140 which asks if an I-140 was ever approved on behalf of the beneficiary.
Why don't your file your H-1B extension now using Premium Processing? It will be approved for 3 years in 10-15 days then then you can think about porting your EB-2 priority date to EB-3.

For me EB3 PD date doesn't mean anything because EB2 PD is current. I believed you may retain your PD if you got your I-140 approved.

Hi, I have a few questions about H-1B and switching to B1/2 status. I was recently laid off, and have an effective termination date of Apr 27. My firm also told me that they typically notify USCIS of this on May 15th. I am currently looking for a new job, but want to also plan in case I don't find one. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read these questions and help me out with them.
1. If I find a new job before May (or May 15th), can I start working the moment the new employer files a petition? Do we have to wait for any notification from USCIS (like a receipt) first? If not, can I work the same date as the postmark date of the filing?
2. In the above case, does my employer still have to file an LCA with DoL? If so, how long does this process take? I guess what I'm trying to wonder is, if I accept an offer and they begin paperwork on Day 1, what day can I actually work?
3. If I do not find a job, when should I file an I-539 to change status to B1/2 (does it matter if B1 or B2?)? I guess what "postmark" date should I do this by? Apr 27? May 15th?
4. After I mail in the change of status, but haven't actually changed yet (I hear this can take 2 months?), and I get a job offer, when can I start working? Do I lose my "instant-work" ability, and have to wait for the H1-B petition to clear? Is this when I want to use Premium Processing and hopefully be ready in 2 weeks? What happens to my pending B1/2 application?
5. If I already received my B1/2 change of status, and now find a job, when can I work? Is this the same as Question 4?
6. I understand that I am no longer subject to the cap, so my employer simply has to file a LCA and a petition for H1-B, in general?
7. In the I-539 form, it asks to mail in my I-94 card (original). Until I get a new one, what status am I in? If I end up leaving the country then, what card do I surrender? It feels weird to not have a I-94 on my passport...
8. The I-539 form seems simple enough to fill out. Any thoughts on whether I need a lawyer for this?
9. Did I forget anything? :confused:
Thanks so much again. I look forward to your helpful replies.
