I have a B.E in Electronics (4 years) and an PGDM in IT (2 years) from India but my I140 is denied on the basis that my PGDM School in India would accept 3 years undergrad and thus the education is not equivalent to M.S in US. I did send the educational evaluation along with I140 but the decision was made on the descretion on CIS.
Please advice if I should refile with education evaluation from anothe agency.
Its all depends on what you have in the PERM requirement. It shouldn’t be an issue when you have an B.E - 4 years. But the USCIS says the PGDM accepts 3 years bachelor also and I am not sure how that’s matter for your individual case. Talk to a competent attorney.
They are not disputing your B.E but your PGDM...

Hi Gurus,
I am in company A on H1B and doing H1B transfer to Company B.
Company B is saying that I can join the same day on which the H1B transfer packet is received by USCIS.
if the docs are delivered on SEP 01 2009 can I join on the same day, or I should join from SEP 02 2009
With the current trend and chances of improper filing, I would not recommend you to join based on delivery receipt. Instead, you can join after you receive the receipt notice or approval. If I were you, I would choose the latter.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said that on September 15, 2009, the worst recession since the 1930s is probably over, although he cautioned that pain - especially for the nearly 15 million unemployed Americans - will persist. Bernanke said the economy likely is growing now, but he warned that won't be sufficient to prevent the unemployment rate, now at a 26-year high of 9.7 percent, from rising. The recession, which started in December 2007, has claimed a net total of 6.9 million jobs.
With expectations for a lethargic recovery, the Fed predicts that unemployment will top 10 percent this year. The post-World War II high was 10.8 percent at the end of 1982. Some economists say it will take at least four years for the jobless rate to drop down to a more normal range of 5 percent.
Analysts predict the U.S. economy is growing in the current quarter, which ends Sept. 30, at an annual rate of 3 to 4 percent. It shrank at a 1 percent pace in the second quarter, much slower than in previous quarters. While many on Wall Street have been encouraged by early signs of stabilization in U.S. home prices and hope the housing market may have hit bottom, others aren't so sure.
Still, Bernanke's declaration that the recession likely ended marked his most optimistic assessment yet of the economy. And his remarks came on the same day that the government report that retail sales jumped 2.7 percent in August, the most in more than three years. All this helped to lift stocks on Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial averaged gained nearly 57 points to 9,683.41, its highest finish since Oct. 6. He said that the economy is coping with "ongoing headwinds," including hard-to-get-credit for consumers and businesses, and households saving more, spending less and trimming their debt. Those forces can weigh down the recovery, he said.

I and my wife are on EAD here and my wife had to go to India urgently on an Advance Parole that was expired last month. Can I apply for the AP renewal for her while she is in India, so that she can come back without any problems? Please let me know what options do I have. I am hoping that she would not be out of status or staying illegally here. Any answers would be very much appreciated. Thanks all.
Please tell me what options I have with me now.

Hi,
I have my Employment based 485 Pending since Aug'2007 (EB-2, priority June'2006, India) and I am currently using EAD for my employment. I am married to a US citizen and have 130 approved on Dec'2008. I want to know what would be my next step.
Can I interfile the pending 485 with the approved 130? or Do I need to file a new 485 and withdraw the pending employment based 485 once I got the new EAD. or Do I need to go for counselor processing?
Please share your experience on this. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I have received an RFE on my I-485 application to provide a copy of birth certificate. However, I have submitted the birth certificate and affidavits from my parents when I filed for I-485.
I am from India. Since the name is put after few months of birth, my name is not present in the birth certificate. I am not sure if the RFE is due to this. But all the (or most) people from India would be in the same zone, right (not having name in birth certificate) ?
Is anyone in the same situation as me ? What kind of documents have you submitted for the birth certificate requirement ?
Here is my RFE
==========
The documentation submitted is not sufficient to warrant favorable consideration of your petetion/application.
....
Submit a copy of your birth certificate showing your parentage, which has been registered with the proper civil authorities of the country of your birth.
You said, you have a birth certificate without name. I guess, you can apply to local birth certificate issuing agency and get a new one with name. If the birth is registered properly (in your case, it is as you have the certificate), it seems possible.

From immigration-law website.
The State Department has released the update. The sudden backlog reduction efforts by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices during the past month have resulted in the use of almost 60,000 Employment numbers. As a result of this unexpected action it has been necessary to make immediate adjustments to several previously announced cut-off dates. All Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices have been notified of the following: Effective Monday July 2, 2007 there will be no further authorizations inresponse to requests for Employment-based preference cases. All numbers available to these categories under the FY-2007 annual numerical limitation have been made available. Employment preference numbers will once again be available to these chargeability areas beginning October 1, 2007, under the FY-2008 annual numerical limitation.
If visa number is unavailable in the Visa Bulletin, it appears that the USCIS is unable to accept the 485 applications under the USCIS regulation. It is thus likely that all the applications which they received or will receive today may be rejected and returned. The current situation is different from the other worker cases rejection in June in that in that case, the State Department did not officially revised the Visa Bulletin. However, we will have to wait and see the anticipated announcement from the USCIS.
This Visa Bulletin revision also implies that there will be no EB-485 approvals during July, August, and September 2007!!!!! Accordingly all the recent approvals practically ended as of July 1, 2007 and there will be no adjudication of any employment-based I-485 applications. For the reasons, those EB-485 waiters who fail to receive the approval notices within this week will have to endure further hardships and emotional trauma. Now, people understand what Washington did to them. Had they passed the SKIL bill, all of these problems would have disappeared. We still wonder who invented the point system that helped to induce the business community to oppose the CIR and partially killed the bill. History will tell.

Hi guys, I have a unique situation, thanks to july visa bulletin. I have a EB3 labor and I 140 approved with the PD as May 2004. Recently I applied EB2 PERM in order to port the PD from EB3 to EB2. My EB2 perm is approved now. Now, I am in dilemma to choose between EB2 and EB3. I can apply EB2 I 140 and I 485 concurrently (by assuming that they will port the PD) or I can apply I485 (for previously approved EB3). Please suggest as to what route I should take.

Hi,
I have been filed in EB2 with a priority date of Feb 26 2007.
What you guys think about the possibility of my PD getting current this year?
I know that it needs a crystal ball to predict such horrendun things like PD movement, but I am just trying to get a poll on the general feeling about the spillover this year.
Thanks in advance.
An IV member VBKRIS did accurate prediction. Its in donor forum though.

Go to your nearest USCIS office with a copy of your application and a letter proving your emergency (if not in english, have a law office translate it). they should be able to produce an AP at the spot. My in laws just got their AP last week.

Here in my city (Piracicaba - S�o Paulo/Brazil) there is a river (Piracicaba�s River) that crosses the center of the city.
I was driving near when i saw something not commom, a man fishing and giving the fishes to this "gar�as" (i don�t know the name of this bird in english). There was more or less 8 to 10 gar�as waiting the fish.
I took some photo and i post here to divide with you my friends.

Hello,
My H1B was approved 3 weeks back i.e on July 1st and also received approval notice from USCIS on July 5th in USPS mail

Application Type: I129 , PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER
Current Status: DOCUMENT OTHER THAN CARD OR TRAVEL DOCUMENT MAILED TO APPLICANT
On July 21, 2009, your document I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER was processed and mailed to the address on record. If you have not received it within 30 days of July 21, 2009, contact our customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

Thanks in Advance
The USCIS system if often messed up, as long as you have received your approval you are good to work on H-1. In rare cases they may decide to send an notice to revoke after they approve the case since they have overlooked something. I would not worry until i actually get such a notice, also you can have your employer call national customer service to make sure everything is okay with your approval.
