Hi All, I am on my H1B on the verge of my 5th year's expiration, in 3 weeks. My Labor was applied with Jan 2008 priority date and my Fragomen Attorney mentioned that as long as the labor was applied before the 5th year on H1B, I should be able to get 1 year extensions until my Labor gets approved. The issue is what happens if my Labor application gets screwed for some reason? I wouldn't be able to get extensions on H1B andhave to return home. To alleviate that situation, I was wondering if I could apply for another Labor through a 3rd party company as a future employee and depend on it if anything goes wrong with my Labor which is awaiting approval. I just heard from a consulting company that a clause has been added to the rule which permits companies to apply for Labor for candidates on a future employment basis and this would prevent them from applying for such cases. Is it true? I want to know my options to make necessary preperations in either case. Any insight on this issue would be very much helpful and appreciated.
Thanks,
Shravan

This is from my attorney:
All your previous I-20s if you were student here, including all the notes made on the I-20s for any change (travel, course related paid work experience, OPT etc.);
EAD card copy for OPT if you had any;
All the visa stamps for reentering the States;
All H1b approvals;
I had some I-20s missing but I was able to contact my University International Student office - fortunately that they have everything on file.
"Proof that person is maintaining valid status in USA since last entry in USA" - not last entry but the first entry. All the doucments are to prove your entry is legal and your stay is as legally approved.

This is weird. I thought a lot of people have got EAD but did not get AP. Of course some people have got both. Can anyone shed some light on how they approve AP? In what order? I believe quite some people have travel plan during the coming months.

Has anyone claimed unemployment benefits in EAD in TX state after being laid off? Can you please tell whats the procedure. I do not want to get into the debate of whether UB can be claimed while in AOS state? I just need to know the procedure. Thanks.
If you just need the procedure and no discussion then why not call the unemployment office in your local area and find out yourself.

you can use either H1 or AP to enter US. Buf if you want to bring your wife u should be on H1 so that she can come on H4...beware that when AP is pending do not leave US otherwise it is consider as abondon of your AP...

No insurance here covers pre-existing conditions. sorry... Others can correct me, but only india network plan covers emergency conditions that arise from pre-existing conditions.. at least better than nothing. Hence, plan accordingly. You can still get expensive plans with a better coverage but still they don't cover any pre-existing conditions. Regarding normal situations, one of my friends had good experience with them for one of the claims.. pls note, i have nothing to do with them and not a PR for them.
if you shop more, you should get a comprehensive plan that covers everything but will be interesting to see how affordable it will be..
hope this helps, good luck.

Advocacy Action Item August 2009 - update
The summer August recess is in progress and the lawmakers are still in their constituencies. This is an opportunity for us to meet with them and address our issues and present solutions in preparation for the upcoming CIR. We must push for our agenda to get our provisions in the base bill as CIR is being drafted currently. If we do not get our provisions in the base bill then it is much harder to get them attached to the bill in the form of amendments.
IV therefore requests its members, to continue to call up and start scheduling lawmaker meetings NOW. Please take appointments with your local lawmakers of both houses of Congress. You can find more information about how to reach your lawmaker in this guide http://immigrationvoice.org/media/HowTo_Guide_MeetLawmakers.doc
our members have been taking appointments and so far the feedback has been extremely positive. These meetings have enabled us to enlighten the lawmaker offices and engage in constructive dialog that not only addresses our issues and concerns but also provides solutions to the backlogs.
As communicated earlier, we have created multiple documents and support material that will go into your �Advocacy Packet� for you to carry for these lawmaker meetings. We have also created a Lawmaker Appointment Book
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=80&Itemid=36
where you will post the details of your lawmaker appointment and we will provide you with the advocacy packet. More details of this action item can be found on this thread:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum85-action-items-for-everyone/294611-iv-action-item-advocacy-month-august-2009-a.html
In summary there are two parts to this action item
1) Please continue to take the appointments with your lawmakers. We need to maximize the remaining August recess days to get as many meetings as possible with either the lawmakers or their close aides. Once you take the appointment, update the details in the Lawmaker Appointment Book that is available on http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=80&Itemi d=36 and you will receive the Advocacy Packet that you will need to take to the meetings.
2) Once you have your meetings, please email the details and feedback to info@immigrationvoice.org to help us follow up with their DC office with your feedback. Your detailed feedback will also help other members in their upcoming meetings with their representatives.
We must push ourselves harder and stronger in this month if we have to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Advocacy is an integral, essential and important part of democracy and we must exercise our first amendment right. We not only are highly skilled and are high income individuals that but we are truly the best and the brightest Future Americans that contribute significantly to the progress of America.

IV = I+We : The Importance of Grass-Roots Organization
Immigration Voice is a grassroots organization, which means, every member in the community plays an important role towards resolving our issues and achieving our goals. Our members are highly skilled, well educated and extremely talented who continue to contribute towards the success of the organization. Our membership base is large and growing every day. The best way to organize ourselves so that our efforts can be effective and yield desired results is by joining state chapters and actively participating in grassroots efforts. State chapters play a very important role in shaping the organization. State chapters organize conference calls, meetings, social gatherings, grassroots advocacy, publicity campaigns, and media campaigns, generate awareness and coordinate many other activities. State chapters also train and mentor members and organize meetings with local lawmakers to discuss our issues, which is the most important aspect of grassroots advocacy. When more people meet with local lawmakers of their constituency and apprise them of our issues, the better will be their understanding of our issues and goes a long way towards aiding our ongoing advocacy efforts. Voicing our opinions and concerns in a peaceful manner is the �American way� of doing things and Immigration Voice is the platform for future Americans like us to voice our opinions and concerns.
State chapters organize workshops, participate in community events like fairs and marathons, and help arrange media interviews, organize advocacy events like lawmaker meets and rallies, help in raising funds towards advocacy and running the organization. State Chapter members are always verified by the chapter leaders. Most often, the core team shares updates with chapter leaders who in turn share these updates with the chapter members. Chapter leaders keep the members of their state involved, recruit more members and help organize activities and events. Besides joining and participating in state chapters, we need other active volunteers to join us in different teams which are working in specific area like the media group, the newsletter group, the advocacy group etc. Each of these groups is led by dedicated members who work with members in formulating IV documents and strategies.
We also want to urge our members to generously contribute to our cause. We as a non-profit organization depend on your contributions to work on various media and advocacy activities.

Dear Experts,
Kindly take some time to read and pl. help me providing your expert advice which will make me take a clear decision.
I am working in a Company A currently(not yet resigned). My project got over by last december 31st and on bench with Company A now. They will also not process payroll/paycheck for this month as there is no billing for this month. But so far, i have not yet resigned and they are currently looking for a project for me to place me.
Meanwhile, I got a better placement with Company B and did AC21 with transferring my H1B. H1B visa also got approved with Company B. I started working for them for the last 3 days too.
Since my current company(A) might not like me moving out, I did not let them know until i started in the new company B. Current Company A has not laid me off and asked me to go on loss of pay vacation for this month which i did by sending mail. Now I want to resign after having moved to the company B(4 days overlap)
Questions :
1. Will this create any issue/affect me for being on 2 payroll(overlap) although Company A does not process pay for me this month? I am on I485 after I-140 approved stage.
2. Since I do not have any pay(bench) this month and after all, resigning in the same month, would it put me out of status From Jan1 - Jan 12?
3. I am going to India on vacation with New company Paystubs and I797. Will the US consulate in India look into this 12 days overlap/Gap?. I will have W2 for last year. Paystubs with Company A until Dec 31st and for new company only starting from Jan 12(11 days no pay (Jan 1 - 11) ).
4. Pl. let me know which situation I am in(overlap or Gap)?
Pl. advise me how to approach this situation as you might have commented on these kind of issues many times.
Thanks and Regards,
Raj

Hi Gurus,
I did file I-140 & I-485 in Eb3 category (Labor substitution) through my old company during 2007 July. My desgination was software engineer with Old company. Now my I-140 is already approved(crossed 180 days) and moved to new big company through AC21 portablity mode during 2009 March. Now I am employed with new company in a senior systems engineer position. This is the typical AC21 case like everyone experienced.
Now My new company is ready to file green card
My Questions are ,
1. Can I file the EB2 LC for this new job in the new company(Senior systems engineer)? Does this qualify for the EB2 category? If it requires the company to have proper job description what is the eligible designtation for EB2 category, other than having BS degree with 5+ years progressive experience?
2. While filing EB2 for the same job that moved in to the new company, can I file AC21 for the EB3(applied from my old company) category as i moved to the new company after 180 days of I-140 approval?
3. Applying for AC21 for EB3 and new EB2 PERM together is valid or any risk involved in this typical case?
Kindly answer these questions.
Thanks,
Raj

Thanks, yes our last names were different.
I told the postman.
Its been more than 2 weeks and I didnt get any response from USCIS after updating the address.It still shows initial review.
Does anyone know how long it would take for the USCIS to resend the card?
When i filed for my EAD card, they returned my card and I had to open SR by calling 800 number. I received card after 1 - 2 months time frame. Again with USCIS each case is different so hope you get faster.

Dear All,
I have filed my 485 on my own & reached package on 2nd July.
But I haven't heard anything from USCIS..No recepit, No LUD etc.
Can I know if anyone filed application on own & got receipts?
In case filing own, who gets the 485 receipts? Employer/Filer
Do write guyes?

My labor is also pending with the Dallas BEC. My priority date is Nov 2001, non-RIR. The online system still shows that my case is in process.
Sick and tired of waiting ...
I think poster bestia mentioned yesterday that you can somehow speed up the process if you pay a certain amount for faster processing? That's another thing I want to look into for my friend. May I ask you how you check the status of that online? I think she sent in the original application but she never got anything back so she doesn't have a case number or anything. Thanks!

I believe, you dont have choice but to go with EB3 of the new company. That way, you will still be in US and EB3 (India) is not going to be bad going forward as it crossed major hurdle of April'01. With April 08 bulletin, everyone learned that unused visas flow into different categories. So pretty soon, EB3 ROW will be current and there wouldnt be many people to use all of them. They will flow into EB3 India.
I needed some advice on this situation I've found myself in.
I have a PERM application filed with my current employer (EB2, Oct 2007). Like most EB2 apps, mine is under a business necessity audit and we have filed an audit response for it. My lawyers are pretty sure that we will clear the audit. Guessing from , the response may be 2-3 months away.
Now I have a second offer from another company. Everything about the job and company is better than my current, but the legal team at this second company says that they will only file in EB3 (even though the job requirement says Bachelors + 8 yrs). They say that they have other EB2 audits going on and have made it a policy to only do EB3 going forward.
I'm on the 5th year of my H1 (don't ask, had a PD of 2005, caught up in BEC and got laid off last May) and this probably will be the last chance for me to change jobs before I cool my heels and wait for the repercussions of the July Fiasco to be over with.
I can't decide of weather to keep my existing EB2 job or take the new offer and step down to EB3.
Please help!

Thanks Chandu...
Never knew somebody had compiled such a large list!!!
I think this thread is a great way for people to share their experiences with consulting companies. Nothing like first hand information from people who have lived and learnt. However let's keep it positive. No unnecessary rants, if someone feels their company is bad, then by all means state it, but I hope we do so in a reasonably civil manner so as to keep the moderator's job nice and easy :)

My PD is August 2009 , and i seem to loose patience.....I can imagine how those people who have been in this queue from 4-5 years must be feeling........Lets hope for the best :)
4-5 years is nothing. I have seen people pending 9 Years in EB3 India.
