I quote:

Any idea what they are talking about in terms of backlog reduction?
Possibly FB's <<vomit>>?

I called after about 3 weeks just to check status.
My PD is April-2002 and I really need to go back home in December but I don't want to use AP for that, so I am hoping I will hear something by the end of this year.

Hi,
I know your time is very precious and not to waste.
My issue is - I came to US as a programmar/analyst in Aug' 2005 with my B.Commerce (3years) and Master of Computer Applications (completed my 3years masters by 2003) in India. My H1 company in March'2008 applied for PERM/I 140 through EB3 (as a professional) recently they came back to me that my I140 got denied because of educational evaluation comparison difference and need to reapply again through a new lawyer as EB3 - unskilled - system support engineer.
Is this really require to go through the new lawyer to restart the GC process? - and this costs me to lose my priority date - almost 2 years
If yes, how are the chances to get the perm/I140 if I reapply through the same H1 company ?
remember that I have to go for H1 extension by Aug'10 ( as I complete 5 years on my H1).
Kindly suggest.

PD isn't current, but just check i-485 online status, showing "Document production or Oath Ceremony" (i.e., the last cycle).
There was indeed a soft LUD in June this year. After that nothing much else. Is there sth good coming along my way?
Appreciate if anyone here can share his/her thoughts/comments.

hello all,
Has anyone in Charlotte, NC got a extension on the Driver's license on the basis on the H1-B renewal application receipt.
My spouse's driver's license expires this month end. I have applied for h1-b/h4 renewal, yet to receive the application receipt.But wanted to know if anyone here in Charlotte,NC got a extension/grace (30days or 90days) on the basis of the receipt.
thanks.
I have a similar situation. My NC license is expiring and I am not sure if i will get the H1 renewal in time. Were you able to get it extened with the application receipt?
Thanks for your help.

If they'd only "fix" the Social Security Card to be more secure, I'm sure you'd reduce much of the illegal employment. the way the SS card is designed right now, anyone could print out as many of these on his home printer.

my lawyers have indicated that i would need a 551 stamp in the passport if the card doesn't arrive on time, using AP etc is not an option.
anyone been through this situation and has more details?
thanks
Oh ok,i think if you are outside US when your GC approved then AP is the only option..May be getting 551 stamp on PP is the option in this case..

Dear Friends,
My PD (EB3)is Dec-02. I have gone for Finger Printing twice now.
I see lot of reference to '45 Day letter' in the forum . I have no recollection of receiving the '45 Day ' letter so far.
Am I missing something here?
Can any one of you please explain what this letter is about?
Thanks,
Sreekanth
If you have done your FP twice.. you need to have fun, relax and forget about 45 day letter.. you passed that stage long time back.. this is basically for people who have labor certification pending with BEC.. just in case you don't know what BEC is.. its the Back Log Elimination Center set up to clear labor applications filled under the old system�.. and in case you don't know what the old system is ...........ok� its $5 for every further clarification..

Hi
I completed my 6th year H1B in April 2010 and am currently on a 7th year extension based on a pending PERM application with my current employer.
I am currently considering taking an offer from a new employer who is willing to process my H1b transfer and my question is:
1) Is it possible to transfer a 7th year extension to a new employer given that PERM will still be pending?
2) If yes, will I need to give them any evidence regarding the pending PERM as I don't have any document on it except the receipt number from DOL.
3) My current H1b expiration date is in April 2011. If the new employer files for an H1b transfer in July 2010, will I get the same H1b expiration date or a new one (i.e. July 2011)?
This is important in my case because my wife who is currently a LPR will be eligible to become a US Citizen in June 2011 and I will likely not need to go through the PERM process.
Any advice on the above will help a lot.
Thank you!!!!!
Well you can join the new employer and they can apply for H1B Transfer. After April 2011 you can get extension or even F1 visa is useful for 1 year. After 1 year u can again come back to H1B status.

Hello all,
I am an Indian national currently in the AOS-pending state. My wife & I are looking to adopt a child either from India/US or a different country. From what I have found out, this seems to be a herculean task. Is this even possible? Has anyone successfully completed this process, or know of the details/steps involved. Any information is appreciated.
Thanks

Company A is going through lay offs and wont be able to apply for my GC. My 6 yr limit on H1B from Company A will expire next year.
Can i apply for H1B extension through Company A based on my I-140 from Company B.

Hi,
One of my friends is saying Job experience with the same company would not count towards? So this means will i have to change jobs and hope that my I-140 for the current employer is not withdrawn. Pl. advise.
Thanks,
The job experience from the same company can only be counted if the employer can prove the new job is atleast 50 % different from the current job. Please consult a lawyer before making the decision. The difference should be in job duties and not simply a move between two projects.

My Indian passport is going to expire very soon and my visa has also expired.
I have applied for extension for 3 years.
Will I face any problems in getting new passport from Indian Embassy?
Has anybody done that before?
I am sorry if this is not right place to write about it...
thanks
you can get your passport renewed by sending it to the Indian Embassy in the US immediately. I don't know about your visa. Talk to your lawyer. But why did you let your visa expire? That I am sure you know IS ILLEGAL.

hello,
Processing Type: Regular Processing
Receipt Number: WAC081-465-XXXX
Received Date: APR,24 2008
Notice Number: N/A
RFE Date:
RFE Responded Date: sep 16 2008
Status: RFE responded and case resumed
iam going to wait since one year.but still its going to be delay.my employer didn't say anything. I was getting frustrated everytime I looked at it, same statment: "Case resumed"
what will i do?can i raise the service request?can i directly call to the uscis?
please suggest me...
AFAIK, If your H1 petition is an extension with the same employer and its 240 days past your I-94 expiry date, you should consider stop working. If your petition is H1 transfer, you can continue to work until the decision. As OP suggested, do the premium and get it over with. IMO, it is worth putting that 1k rather than living in anticipation. Good luck.
