Do they have a signature authorization from you? If not , they can not send a G-28 that is not signed by YOU !
Cool...I didnt give any sign. autho..I just sent docs yesterday...
so keeping my fingers crossed until they file (without asking me to sign G-28 in between) :D

I asked my lawyer same question... and she said you can port from EB3 to EB2 using same labor but employer has to withdraw approved I-140 first and this is really dicey.
Best option is to file new PERM + new I-140 and then port the PD
I am going to file a new PERM and new I-140. Assuming the time taken to get new PERM approved is 1 year or 1.5years and than to file new I-140 and to get I-140 approval is going to take a long long time. So my question was after getting the new perm approval can we file new I-140 along with the copy of old approved I-140 from another company or I have to wait to get my new I-140 approved inorder to port priority date. My older I-140 also belongs to EB2 category and new PERM application will also be in EB2.
Thanks.

Hi Cobra,
I would say...do not lose heart. I hope your case gets resolved soon. My friends who have gone for stamping lately have faced such problems. Almost all of them....one in Delhi consulate, another in Kolkata and another in chennai. they got 221g and had to over stay their vacation. But eventually all three of them could make it at the end. As long as you are able to provide all the docs they ask for, you should be good.
Regards,
vj

Congrats for the painless Visa stamping.
If you are on EAD before leaving US, you better to continue the same status. Their might be a situation for USCIS considering giving up your AOS, if you enter US on H1b while you were on EAD before leaving US.
Are you saying that
I should use my AP to enter the USA and not the H1?
And then ofcourse I will have to continue using EAD.
OR are you saying?
I should enter on H1, but use EAD ?
Wont that invalidate my H1 stamp for any future use?
Secondly, Arent the h1 and l1 visa holders allowed to have dual intent?
Why would they reject my 485, just because I used an H1 to re-enter?
I have seen posts on this site where people have entered back on H1 despite 485 pending.
Can someone clarify and help on my situation ?

Do you have a better way of increasing contribution?
Anyways anyone can check people's contribution by looking through all the posts made by a user by clicking on "find all posts by user". It is possible but requires little bit of digging.
It does not do any good. In my opinion.

No, you will still have to complete the requirement or else your 485 will be denied. There is no escape from waiver. :eek:
Always remember that a J1 visa is a non-immigrant visa and H1B(waiver) is dual intent. If your spouse applies for your GC(i.e. files your 485) before you have not completed your waiver requirements there are 2 things that can happen:
1. Either you will get your 485 rejected,
or
2. Your J1 visa will be denied. Always remember residency visas(J1 or H1) are given on a yearly basis and yours will get denied the next year even if you get it for the 1st year.
Infact my wife started her residency on J1 visa and my 140 was approved. She will be starting her waiver next year. I have a PD of feb 2007. I will be filing her 485 as accompnying spouse(you can use your PD even if you have received your GC:conformed this with my attorney) once her waiver is approved and if my PD becomes current. However she will still not get her final green card until she has completed her waiver requirements.
We had decided not to let USCIS define our carreer objectives and going with the flow. Looking from the likes of it she will be done with her waiver in another 3 years and still the PD won't be current.
Now look at the bright side of J1 visa:
1. Once her waiver is approved I file for her 485(she gets her EAD) using my original PD(no need to get into family based immigrtation hassles)
2. Since we have not exhaused our H1B( she gets 6 years of the same)
3. Her 1st H1B is quota exempt.
4.You save tonns of money since J1 are exempt from social security and medicare taxes etc. :)
You will eventually have to make your own judement call depending on your family circumstances.......so far as I mentioned we just decided to go with the flow and things seem to have worked out for us well. She got the recidency in the same place as my job was and then I got laid off 3 months back and now she got her new job in the same place where my new job is.........
Again you will have to decide how you will want to proceed per your circumstances. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

I have two passports one with H4 Visa stamped and another Surname changed. While entering US, I have used my name as in the Visa (new surname) in the I-94 card.
I have applied for H1B with new surname in this May and change of Status with that I-94.
During H1 processing, I have travelled out of US and while entering back I have used old surname( as sometime back DMV ppl told that the name on I-94 should match with H4 Visa)
Now I got H1 approval and COS approval with my middle name taken as first name and new surname.
1) First thing is, the I-94 on COS approval and I-94, currently present in my Passport does not match.
2) First name and middle name are interchanged in the passport and H1 approval.
Is this going to create any problem while applying SSN? What are the possible consequences..
Also, any similar scenarios, plz respond..

He will be out of status. Your 3 year extension beyond the allowed 6 years is based on that LC/I-140 from which your I-485 was filed. If the I-485 is rejected you have no right to stay beyond 6 years.
It is best to not use more than 3 years of H-1 if you have a pending I-485. That way you have 3 more years of H-1 in case you get rejected. The pending I-485 gives you unlimited time in the form of EAD/AP. Dont waste your H-1 time.
It only makes sense to keep H-1 while you have AOS if your country of chargeability is ROW, which is usually current. If your country is backlogged, it will most likely extend your H-1 over six years. Please consult a proper immigration attorney before you do anything.
That's not true, as per my attorney. When you are on the 7th yr of your H1 the only reason for the you get the 3 year extention on the H1 based on your approved I140 after filing your 485, is so that you won't be out of status even if your 485 gets rejected. You can still stay is status in US and appeal your 485.

10-19 01:35 PM
According to what I have read - porting of PD can be done at 2 stages
1. At the time the second I-140 is applied or,
2. When one applies for the I-485.
So you should be fine going by #2. Not an attorney, just like you all - a GC aspirant commenting on his research.
My question is the same that you raised earlier - the Memo states that the PD has to be current when interfiling. But in the case of pd_recapturing, his PD is May 04 which is not current - EB2 for India is Apr 04 (my assumption being that pd_recapturing is from India.)
My case is exactly as pd_recapturing, waiting for the approval of my second I-140 to see if the date got ported or not (we had requested during filing of second I-140). After the approval, I was thinking of waiting for my PD to be current before filing.
pd_recapturing - we'll be following your lead to see how your case turns out.
Thanks.

According to my lawyer, mine is a simple case of updating I-485 file with a different I-140 so there is no need to wait PD to be current. And also it makes sense to me as I am not applying a new I-485 to wait for PD to be current. They will anyway touch my AOS when PD will be current. Right now, they will have to update my I-140 with the existing I-485. And moreover, my case is not a PD change, instead, its a EB category change. What do you guys think ?

You get the FP notices, attorney gets a copy.
Best way to find out (if you missed it) is to call USCIS Customer Service number on your I-485 notice.
Don't think it's delivered personally - it may not get delivered if you filed a change of address with the post office, but it should be in your mail if you haven't moved/no address change, imo.
jazz
Who gets FP notice? is it attorney or us?
We also filed on July 2nd at NSC.. got EAD and AP. buit no sign of FP yet. we were also out of country for last 3- 4 weeks. Is there chance we could have missed it?

. After 180 days you may leave, but you will have to find a new employer who is willing to hire you on permanent basis upon getting you GC for same/similar job as in the LC. What you do until your GC is approved (contract job with this employer or something else) is a different matter. Those employments can be on EAD, H1, temp/permanent, etc.
What if the job i'm moving to after 180 days is hiring me permanently now itself? Do they still have to specify (in EVL for AC21) that they will hire me perm only upon getting GC?

I was wondering if your H1 visa was not approved how did you come back on H-4 visa. Didn't your H4 status get invalid when your H1 got approved.
The approval of your H1 would have invalidated your H-4 visa :confused:

Excellent sanju...CNN is FOX News in a closet. There is no independent media left anymore.
Larry King pushed Michael Moore schedule to cover Paris Hilton interview. That shows their committment to quality news.
I will do the same.
A few days I called Comcast to disconnect CNN and CNN headlines from my cable. The Comcast representative was surprised as to why I want to cut CNN. She transferred me to her supervisor. The supervisor noted down my complaint and said that he will get back to me in 3 business days. Next day I got a call from Comcast that they will block CNN entirely from my cable. I thanked them as I will not have bigotry coming into my house anymore.
