you could have applied for h1 extension with the old employer and got 3 years extension...
since you changed your job..and you have less than 1 year of time left for yoru 6 years of h1 to expire..i am sorry mate ..looks like you cannot get h1 extension..(as ur new labor PD) shoudl be atleast 1 year old...get my drift..
> you shoudl have got ur h1 extended and changed your job
> or u shoudl have started ur GC process atleast 1 year before the 6 year expires..
gurus..shed some light!

Also, there is no way that they can reduce the backlog if they end up waiting for the PDs to be current.
I think you missed the point: if no PD is current, then there are no backlogs.
If a case cannot be approved because it exceeds the regulatory requirements, it wont count as a backlogged case. It will sit there, gathering dust, but wont be counted in any of these stats...

Can IV core put some light on -
Is there quarterly Visa spillover or its only at the end of every USCIS year (July-sept) ?
If NO, any way to add that in?
Thank!
Is there any plan by IV for quarterly spillover. We could do it collectively like send letters to senators or Ombudsman?

*** USCIS interprets AC21 �104(c) as only applicable when an alien, who is the beneficiary of an approved I-140 petition, is eligible to be granted lawful permanent resident status but for application of the per country limitations. Any petitioner seeking an H-1B extension on behalf of a beneficiary pursuant to AC21 �104(c) must thus establish that at the time of filing for such extension, the alien is not eligible to be granted lawful permanent resident status on account of the per country immigrant visa limitations. ***

The threads are displayed on the web page in the descending order of the last update time. People just write SOMETHING in a thread to keep it on the top of the page and prevent it from going on to the 2nd page.
Most people use 'Bump" to bump the thread up :), but it can be anything

Ron predicts that democrats will hold the fort after this election and that a CIR bill would pass as early as next year.
http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?p=24000&posted=1#post24000
I doubt this.
Also, looks like USCIS is upgrading their database in an effort to centralize all information that are currently scattered all over. This, they believe, would help them to predict number of cases, category wise, and hence predict VISA cut off dates precisely.
If this happens, I believe, the spurt of approvals that we were seeing during the last quarter of the FY, for the last 2 years, will not happen anymore.
This is good and bad. Good as applicants with older PD with get their GC. Bad, as applicants with recent PD will wait forever to file their 485.
We are in for a very long wait. And this is amidst growing economic crisis, 485 denials based on AC21 etc.
Good luck everyone!

Gurus,
When I filed/sent my Paper based I-131 - Advance Parole (AP) form yesterday I forgot to attach the photographs along with it. I just realised it now.
Now what are the options I have. Will USCIS reject my I-131 - Advance Parole (AP) application packet and send it back or would they ask for RFE(Request for Evidence) of photograph.
Or is it OK to send the photographs and mention the Alien A# .
Has any body been through this situation before. I was planning on using AP for travel to INDIA in the few months now I guess I am in serious mess.
Your help is much appreciated.
Actually, I posted a similar question on another thread. Can you give me an update on what you did about the photos?

Thank you all for your valuable input. I have a follow up question :
Will I be breaking any laws if I just do voluntary marketing and promotional work for my company in India.
Here is the situation :
My clients will be in USA and they will be paying my company in India. I will be on the board of the company , and will be doing voluntary marketing and promotional work for the company while residing in USA.
Thank you for your time.
Your H-1b must be sponsored by a US company. H-1b terms require you to gainfully work only for that employer. As long as your US tax returns do not show any other source of income and show you have been working fulltime for your sponsoring employer, you should be fine.
They do not bother with foreign wages or what you do with your free time ( as long as it inot a second job).

That is the problem. There is no such thing in the flcdatacenter, but in onet online, there is a
15-1099.11 - Information Technology Project Managers. This is not present in flcdatacenter.
Here is the problem. So by this token, does it mean that IT Project managers either need to be classified as CIS managers or not get classified at all? This is absurd.
The attorney is not giving out any suggestions on what to do as they already filed, got a high PW and appealed which got denied.
The attorney is suggesting to refile, something I don't think is going to change the outcome.
Any suggestions?

Hi Friends.
I got the pink slip 3 weeks back with one month severance. So my target was to secure the job in one month to avoid loss of pay. Finally secured the job with 3 offers from 3 top companies.
Some tips if it may be helpful to others , that I recently expereinced
1. Read your resume thoroughly and see if there are anything that you can improve and make the resume with the core skills, do not make the resume of mix of different profiles, like dba, architect, project manager, make them all seperate.
2. Try to make the submission to the direct employer or recruiter on top of the chain. You can do that finding contacts on linked in.
3. Do not compromise a lot, this makes these recruiters to think that you are vulnerable for any exploitation, (happened with me, I kicked there butt after getting selected and telling them on why did I do that)
All the best to everyone.
Congrats.
Did you have to take a pay cut or did you get a hike? How are salaries for new employees in this market? You can PM me if you dont want to answer on this forum. Just curious...

This is correct. I went to USPS a couple days ago. If I fill out the inquiry form and send it in to USPS headquater, they will track it. If it is cashed, they'll let me know who cashed it. If it is not cashed 60 days from when you first bought the money order, USPS will refund the money to me.
The problem for us is: given the chaos and delay in the immigration process, we cannot be sure the USCIS cashes the check within 60 days of receiving it. If we file inquiry for the Money Order with USPS, we risk canceling the MO before USCIS can cash it. Then our case is screwed...
I hate USPS... They should have offered the option to seperat simple inquiry and request of refund... I cannot believe this sh&*&*!:mad:
Good luck to us anyway. Next time, use your personal check or MO from your bank...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> USPS Issued MO's <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The way you track money orders is , after 30 days from the date u gave them out , pull out the Money Order Sequence "Number" at the bottom of the top slip that you have. Give that in along with $5 to your local post office. they would track it for you and give a report.
CAREFUL though. USPS , when it goes to track the MO, if it has not been cashed, they will give back the value on that MO (say the face value of the MO is $500 , if un-cashed , they give u $500 ). So, the person intended to cash it cannot.
If cashed they give you the person's ID who cashed it.
So, wait for a while before you invoke the process.

Dear All..need expert guidance on my situation.
1) Company A. Approved I-140 and LC for more than 6 months in 2006
2) Took a Job with Company B. Concurrent filling of New I-140 , 485, EAD, AP (In July 2007), EAD and AP approved > 180 days. But still waiting for I-140..looks like it going to take some time.
3) Want to change to company �C�in similar area. Can I use AC21? Given that I have approved I-140 from company A, 485 from company B and want to move to company C ?
I assume answer is No but thought I will get some expert guidance.
Thanks for your help
I think the answer is Yes.
You may be able to do this by replacing the underlying 140 of your 485 application with the older one. It should be possible. Talk to a lawyer.
