my employment is terminated a month ago. I still need to file h1 transfer to the GC sponser. I am single
I am told that H1 can be transferred only with in 10 days-20 days or so. which means that it is already a month. so in case if I dont get the h1 or if I have an issue in the H1 transfer, is that the end of my being H1.
If I were to be on H1 again is it going to come under the cap along with those new H1 filers? I still have one and half years to complete 6 years.
I have a fall back to EAD though based an approved 140 and 180 days past 485.
But how do I get the spouse then???
by relocating back to yr country or by having a long distance marriage or marrying a gc holder or h1 etc .. it is a tough choice for you ..

you might also need a copy of your approved Labour application.
I am not sure if you can get the documents directly from the UCIS becuase the documents belong to your employer and not you.
you can try through Freedom of Information Act(foia.com). but it might take a while to get the documents.
All that is required is only I-140 Approval Notice. Labor Cert is not required.

Personally I do think giving this 55,000 annual quota green cards to employment-based Science & Medicine immigrants is better than giving DV-lottery to other lucky people just win the lottery but without any high educational qualification. Also, since international students have stayed in US for long years and they have documents such as social security no. and driver licenses' to run the comprehensive background check. Therefore, it minimizes a lot of the risk to invite the criminals to immigrate.
However, I am curious whether this bill will be beneficial to all US advanced graduates in Science & Medicine or not. I know some new H-1B workers in those advanced degrees may NOT be the EB-type and they need to wait for certain years and then the employers will sponsor them green cards as the EB-category. And if the employers don't sponsor them green cards due to companies' merging different departments or for other accidental reason, they will lose their green cards.
Also, some advanced graduates in Science & Medicine cannot get the H-1B working visa smoothly due to H-1B quota is full and need to leave US and some of them can't get the
H-1B extension and need to leave US. Or some of them got laid off during their employment period due to merge of 2 companies and if they can't find another employer, they need to leave US too.
Therefore, if they can't get into the EB category, this bill cannot help them out!! Personally I do think if to allow all those advanced graduates in Science & Medicine to enroll online by "first come, first served basis" and once the 55,000 quota is filled, then they need to wait for the next year to immigrate. This will be fair and can retain all those US advanced gradudates in Science & Medicine who are graduated in different years with different luck to get the H-1B working visa.

contributions have to be voluntary.. finger pointing would be of no good & on the contrary will be counter-productive..
I do not this it is a bad idea to post it, it is just that can someonce show me the benefit of showing that , for example, member A contributed $200 and member B $100?
I am open to discusion about it......

Laid off 6weeks back. Attended 4 interviews. Outof luck.
I used to get many calls from desi consultants. But not now. I do not know whether it is because of economy or my EAD status.
Here are my excuses to not to get job.
1.New Father (I was little confused about how every thing goes. Thank god no set backs here)
2.Functions(I was occupied to celebrate his 21st day).
3.Taking care of new born( He needs to be feed once in every two hours. Mother got tired of this.)
4.Holiday season.
5.Economy.
6.I am good at supporting my situation :) .
Hopefully I will land some where by Jan Mid.
Sargon,
you are incorrect ..here and there ..there are people who have been laid off. maybe you are lucky that you are not hearing it or maybe out of the loop.
in the last 2 weeks itself, I have heard layoffs for 15 people ..so it is happening maybe slowly but surely. IT are one of the big cost savers ..most of the time, IT job is first on the block because of instant cost savings ..actually there is a different trend too (too small to notice now) ...highly paid people are being laid off and those who agree for lower salary with similar skills are being hired.

Hey Everyone,
My brother is a US citizen who has filed an I-130 for me and my family in May, 2008. We've traveled to the US on B1/B2 visas in February, 2009. The thing about it is that in the DS-156 form point "36. Has Anyone Ever Filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf?" we've answered "No". I've had no idea at that time that it was referring to the petition for alien relative. Anyways, we've returned back home in time. Also, I've had 3 visas before (2 tourist and 1 student) and never violated any immigration laws.
Then in December, 2009 we've applied for F-1 visa and got denied. This time it was a DS-160 form that we filled out which replaced the old DS-156 form. It didn't have that question about the petition anymore. I think they've decided to exclude it because a lot of people were confused by it. Anyways, the consulate officer didn't like the fact that I haven't transferred my credits from 2 courses of University that I've completed in my home country. Plus my major differed from my previous education course.
So my question is. Is it ok to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? I mean we've been issued B1/B2 visas before. Even though we've answered "No" to that question, they saw that I had a brother in the US who is a US citizen. I'm thinking of transferring my credits and using same major course this time or at least similar. This way in the eyes of the consulate officer it will look as I am going to the US to finish my education. The thing is, I am planning to attend community college first in order to finish general courses and then transfer to the university. My major in my home university was physics and this community college doesn't have it. I may go with "general education" course at the community college and explain to the consulate officer my situation.
Is it even legal to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? I believe so. My another question is. Once I finish education. What's the next step would be? Will it be easy to transfer from F-1 to H1B visa while I-130 is pending? What about my wife and a baby who will be on F-2 status? Please share your thoughts. Thank you!

With dates current (even if they are for a few months), I wand this CIR to just go away. I would rather take my chances with the old process, then face something that is highly likely to be detrimental to us.
Come to think of it...If I (most of us) have our EAD's (spouse can work, job is portable)...would I really mind waiting to get my GC for 5 years...

Need to travel via British airways. H1b visa is expired and need to get UK transit visa.
Any experiences on the quickest way to get this?
thx
Dont buy air tickets that fly thru UK. Be a dignified India and question why they need a transit visa, when you are not going to set even 1 inch outside the airport.

I guess its much better for frauds to have an EAD/AP, then they can easily bypass the checking at consulates.

July 23rd filer. NSC>CSC>NSC. Did not get FP notice and will be travelling to India this friday for 2 months. So called up Customer service and opened SR for both me and wife on December 20. Got appointment for me for Jan. 16th but nothing for my wife in the first week of Jan. Then a week ago got a second set of appointments both for me and wife but now on Jan. 18th.
Anyways, reported to USCIS office in Des Moines today (Jan. 16th) per original letter. Wife accompanied me and I had all the appointment letters with me. Explained to the security guy (a very nice old gentleman) about the situation with upcoming travel, etc. He went and soke with the USCIS manager and she was gracious enough to allow my wife to get her fps done with me. Was out of the place in about an hour. They had a new machine installed and the person from the machine manufacturer was demonstrating how to use to the local staff, so we were all guinea pigs. Scanned four fingers from left hand followed by thumb, then four fingers from right hand followed by thumb, this was followed by each finger individually rolled across the scanner, then took FP of right index finger and asked me to sign (similar to a credit card digital sign box). Took a photo and that was it.
One piece of interest to people who for some reason missed theit appointments and forgot to reschedule. I was informed by the security guy that there is a grace period of 87 business days after your initial appointment date for you to walk-in and get your fps done. However, you need to call the center to find out what day of the week is alloted for walk-ins. (It is Wednesday for Des Moines office).
If you have multiple appointments for different days (like I had), go to the earliest one if possible and get both the notices stamped with the stamp indicating that biometrics were taken on that date.
Cheers!

Hi,
Thanks for your advice. I believe that my employer has no problem to write me a recommendation letter or sign support letter.
Do you believe I have a chance or not ? which one?
Thanks,
John
Your profile does not sound enough for either EB1-OR (aka EB1-B aka EB1-2) or EB2-NIW. As pointed out before, if your employer is unwilling to "sponsor" you (i.e., not willing to sign a support letter), then you can go only with either EB1-EA or EB2-NIW. All other categories, including EB1-OR require sponsorship from the employer. In general, the lowest non-retrogressed preference level is the best bet. If you were born in Egypt, then that is EB2 (standard EB2 sponsored by your employer). For people who were born in India and (mainland) China, it is EB1.

I will next month. Using same/similar job. And also, my lawyer said that we do not need to send AC-21 letter to USCIS, wait for the RFE, if any. So don't worry and enjoy this small freedom.
