Hi People,
I have been hearing a few things on the renewal and I cant seem to get a concrete picture here. Would appreciate a look here.
I am applying for an advance parole renewal for my wife, me and her, we did not apply for the GC at the same time, I applied during the hullabaloo July 2007 times under the old fee structure and she was applied later on in the following year 2008 under the new fee structure of $1010 as a derivative under my application. Her I-797 receipt notice indicates that a fee of $1010 was paid out. My I-797 indicates $300 odd as separate fees.
Given the above, is she exempt from paying the $305/$340 for the Advance Parole/EAD. A USCIS agent that I talked to says that anything after July 30th 2007 is exempt but she could well be reading from a piece of paper without actual knowledge of the intricacies. A paralegal at my lawyer's office said that she needs to pay, but somehow I am not convinced.
Would appreciate a little insight here.
Thx,
M

I have reported the promotional post to Steve and I'm sure he'll remove it when he gets a chance.
Thanks Josh. I'd forgotten about this thread. It's about time for spider plants to bloom again. I'll have to find some and see if I can get some better images.

1) I agree with all who are asking you to quit and get your H1-B transfered, but my concern is whether your H1-B is still valid or not as your I-140 has been revoked or is still in consideration.
You can search for a company and file for a transfer and can still stay with this company till you get an answer. You can hold multiple H1-B's at the same time.
2) Time taken for an H1-B approval varies, it all depends on your fate.
I would suggest that you give $1000 and get it premium and you would get an answer in two weeks.
3) Yes you can file Labor and I-140 again with the new employer before 2009 and can take extensions.
These are my suggestions, it would be better that you consult a good lawyer to be contended as the lawyer would be dealing with cases more like these then we.

Hi,
Mine is same case, but with same employer, In my case my attorney used below law.PD is done successfully and got GC . But it took nearly 1 year time. I don't think we need to apply new EB2. But anyways talk to experienced lawyer who has done PD earlier.
According to 8 C.F. R. 204.5(e), When a Beneficiary has multiple approved I-140 petitions,
he is entitled to the earliest priority date....

L1 has been in use for past 12 years...and the L1 holders have been working at client sites.
TCS never does grean cards, WIPRO rarely does, that too in 5th year of H1. InFOSYS rarely does. CTS is the one who does many H1s, L1s and green cards, green cards in EB1.
When consulting companies are misusing H1s, why cant companies like TCS,WIPRO,CTS,HCL misuse L1s...Nobody is honest in US. Nobody is working honestly in US. Less than 1% in US are honest. And those people will be working as developer forever.

G-28 is for attorney representation - if a registered attorney is representing an applicant we give the authoraization so that USCIS deal directly with attorney. I am not sure if there is anything like "G-28 Self". In case where we already filed G-28 and gave authorization to one attorney - changing it to another attorney seems a bit straight forward - send a new G-28 and request to supersede it with earlier one. But just cancelling the earlier one so we represent ourselve seems a bit grey. But its just my understanding if anyone has done self representation and successfull changed G-28 - please let all of us know.
(Note: I am thinking of going with lawyer just for this G-28; my old employer may not revoke approved I140 so I was thinking of not sending AC21 letter; but want to change the lawyer representation so that any communication will get to me; no lawyer is offering just this everyone I talked to are clubbing G-28 with AC21 and charging accordingly)

I received the same email for 131 waiting for the hardcopy.
Hi all,
I just got the below update from the USCIS website regarding my case.
Has anybody received this?.. What is the possible Evidence that they may be looking for?. Who receives such notice (Me or My lawyer)... Normally what response time would be given?... Please advise...
Current Status: We mailed you a notice requesting additional evidence.
we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence and/or information in this case. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the evidence and/or information requested. This case will be held in suspense until we either receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once you submit the information and/or evidence requested, you will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something further from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service.

So fine with me if this has already been discussed, Can we promote this and track it. Would it be too much to add a second thread that talks about contributions to IV when i look at 5 threads at the top of the list that all track LUD's :)
k3gc ... there is nothing wrong with opening this new thread. The idea was discussed last time, but there was no tracking. So its the tracking thingy which is new in your proposal. I personally think that discussing this idea is much better than discussing about lord Ganesha's picture on a beer bottle.

There is some potential good news on the horizon. DHS just published a notice (http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspubli...0000648072c5eb) that they intend to consolidate three of ancient CIS electronic record systems into a new database. Hopefully, this new database will yield the data the Visa Office needs.
Right now, the CIS does not have any comprehensive database that shows how many AOS cases are pending by preference classification, priority date, and country of chargeability. The new database that is supposed to become operational within the next ten days contains information gathered from the many independent CIS databases. Supposedly, this new database will show all of this information.
Once the CIS is able to provide the State Department with this information, the Visa Office will then (for the first time) have accurate information as to the actual demand for immigrant visas. They will then be able to make more accurate adjustments to the cutoff dates in the Visa Bulletin. For some time now, they have been flying blind without accurate information.

I used AP thrice and renewed my H1 twice after entering using AP without any issues.
Thanks
Now I have a question?
My H1 is valid till May 2010 but not stamped. I have AP with me. If I go to India and come back on AP, I will still be on H1 and can even extend beyond 2010. If this is valid, then I think I do not have to get my visa stamped. That will be cool.

Guitarzen - I think its an awesome idea(not the first), but on the right track.
In my experience: A flash UI to allow clients to create mockups IS A WICKED IDEA, We did the same.. created a client interface for planning, laoyut and colour schemes.... similar to what you have done but on a larger scale..
All I can say we failed for a number of reasons,...that clients generally want you to use your experience in communicating their brand to the world ( thats why they pay u). The more clients interfere, the more the channels of communication get closed by their involvement.If however you were to after some research approach the same client and propose a full solution using your knowledge of markets and how to make them money, and build their brand.. u got the signature on the dotted line.
Its no longer a case of a 15 year old in is bedroom pasting images and text on a blank page- as the same care and attention to consumer taste and choice in a new market ( the internet) .
I guess what I am trying to say is: this is more aimed at designers wanting to quickly mock-up layouts for clients. Clients themselves want U as a designer to creatively sell their idea or product. With a little more work on the UI, and focused targeting this could grow into something great for newgbie designers wanting to create simple layout schemes and content placement diagrams?
Athough..... the point of flash surely is to allow creative ideas to flourish outside of the constraints of HTML / block driven content
unfortunately any applcati0on always has its limits creatively (flash included) - but logic built applications always will give a creative team more headaches if it is available to businesmen with what they think is a "creative vision" for their company " oh and can we make it all in cornflower blue?" perhaps it would be better suited to studios wishing to create layouts o nthe fly?
Keep going, its looking great..( am I making sense?....3am - two eyes one skull-hole- bed soon. :ninja: )

Eb3Retro, Did you sign G-28 initially for your (previous employer's) attorney to represent? if so how did you change the representation?
i have not changed attorney so far, just wanted to retain the same guy until i extend my EAD this time, (which is pending and awaiting results anytime soon) , once this is done, i am going to file G28 and self file AP myself. My attorney charges exorbitant fees for doing this, just for the safety sake, just for ead extn i used him...few more days and i will say thanks for all his services..

Well if it is clearly mentioned in the offer letter that Employer will cover the GC cost, then isnt the employer supposed to pay for it irrespective of when the labor was filed. It was filed in 2006.
Btw, i am on AOS if that is what was meant from my legal status..
Thanks for all the responses to my thread so far..
Like I said before, this is a civil issue and a contract claim. This can be handled by means of a lawsuit as a civil proceeding if you wanted to. The likelihood of you winning the claim is very very slim in court based on my knowlegde. If you want a government agency to help you, that is not going to happen as there is no claim of any violation here.

Which service center did you file your I-485 and how come your I-485 was denied by a local USCIS officer? Are you were called for an interview?
Please help! My I-485 was denied by a local USCIS officer because of visa availability. My case is EB2 PERM based and I filed I-485 in July 2007 when the visa number was available.
Apparently USCIS made a mistake if they have any knowledge of the wellknown visa bulletin fiasco of July 2007 (Visa bulletiin No. 107). What should I do to correct this? If I file a motion to reopen (MTR), it will cost me $1500 legal fee+$585 filing fee. Any suggestions are really appreciated.
Here is what it said:" At the time you filed your I-485, the Visa Bulletin of the Department of State provided that the employment based visas were unavailable for persons in your category. Section 245.2 of title 8 of the Code of Regulations (CFR) states, in part:'an immigration visa must be immediately available in order for an alien to properly file an adjustment application under section 245 of the Act," ...
