I Am Sure This Has Been Answered Many Times, But I Have Not Been Able To Find Any Information About This.
As A Consultant, One Has To Travel To Different Places For Different Projects.
So What Happens To His/her Gc Process.
What I Have Been Reading Here Is That The Place U Get Your Labor/i140 Cleared And If U Move U Have To Get It Again.
I Am Novice In This Area And I Hope I Am Asking The Right Question.
I Will Really Appreciate If Someone Could Shed Some Light On This Issue.

Well - thanks for your mind reading services! However, I am not sure that is what I implied.
From 2004 I did not report the fraud since I did not know about it. Right now - I wont report it since I dont want to create disruption in this environment - disruption that can come back to bite me. A year down the line - when the environment and the economy is a little better - you bet I will report it now that I know about it.
Read between the lines and you have just confirmed my translation.
PS: I am still waiting for the reply for this post.

Very good. Please post this message to the front page of IV.
USCIS has decided that the flowers sent by skilled, legal immigrants to director Dr. Emilio Gonzalez will be forwarded to injured service members recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and at Bethesda Naval Hospital.
We welcome the fact that Dr. Gonzalez acknowledged the symbolic gesture of our protest. We are even more happy that these flowers will brighten the day of our injured service brethren. It is their contribution to the American freedom that has made this country such a desirable destination for highly skilled professionals from all over the world.
We also want to convey to the service personnel receiving those flowers that our message accompanying those flowers is, "Thank You and God Bless You".

That is good news.
Thanks for all your efforts..SunJoshi.
Guys,
I got a letter from Cong Tom Price (Rep- GA) saying that the immigration clauses in the Budget Reconciliation Bill did not make it. But he will try to push for those clauses in the immigration bills in 2006.
I got the same message from his DC staff, when I called to follow-up.

I am ready for anything GC, conditional GC or Citizenship which ever comes first. If it is required funding we can start a new funding drive. But we need to start actively. Still I beleive that we should ask for conditional GC first because USCIS itself can make a rule to give a conditional GC for people who are waiting for GC more than 5 years and staying legally in this country last 10 years.
We need to collect friends who are in same situation.
We should take advise from attorney if they can give some kind of help.

it looks like many folks got their approval one day after filing an SR - coincidence or a trigger? Is filing the SR somehow triggering the IOs to look at your file ?
However, many people who filed SR on the first working day of the month 08/02 were not approved the next day. Also, the many others who bombarded the USCIS with multiple requests/queries had to wait much longer or are still waiting.
It is almost like the IOs didn't like to be bothered on the first working day of this month (when the begin working on a fresh set of files) and also didn't like to be pushed too much.
Or is this all just a super coincidence for hundreds of people?

I am not sure if I am correct, but I have heard it is totally up to you what form to use when re-entering the U.S. If one posseses a valid H1 and AP, it is up to him what to use. Many people choose to use H1 to enter to safeguard status while I485 is pending. I may be wrong; but I could swear I read about this some time ago.....
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Finally, received my passport on the 3rd Jan, 08. Good luck everybody.:)
Hi All,
I am on a business trip to Chennai and I was interviewed for my H1-B renewal on Dec 6th 2007, unaware of the PIMS as it was not mentioned anywhere on the website that it will take this long to receive the passport. I was granted my visa within few minutes but till date (Jan 1st, 08) I have not received my passport. Was interviewed at the Chennai consulate. It has been heights of frustration as I had to spend all my Christmas holidays and New years at Chennai with all my fly being in US. I was supposed to return to US on Dec19th had to postpone my tickets to Dec 24th and then to Dec 29th. Now finally I have cancelled my tickets as it was costing me $200 every time I modify my itinerary.The US consulate, Chennai keeps on extending the processing time from 3 to 7 to 10 and it has been 15 working days already now, but still no passport in hand. Last week on Friday (Dec 28th) got an email that it might take additional 7 working days, huh ! Good thing is my company is in Chennai so atleast I can go to work or else it would have been really painful.
Was anybody else interviewed at Chennai during that black week ??? with similar situation ?
Good luck everybody.

Guys this is a revision to the July Visa Bulletin. Meaning, even if the revision happens on July 29th to the July Visa Bulletin, it holds good for entire july.
This is not August bulletin.
Looks like people have misconception, that if their file goes to USCIS on July 2nd and visa bulletin is revised on July 3rd or later date, then they are safe. It is not so.
If at all if there is a change to the August bulletin it holds good for August and not to July bulletin.
Pls let me know if my understanding is wrong
You are right but only if DOS revises the bulletin. The more likely scenario is that DOS will send a notification to the USCIS that all visa numbers have been exhausted and then it will be upto USCIS to decide what to do. I that case USCIS will most likely accept all applications received up to that point- Same thing happened last month for EB-3 Other workers!

Does the letter need to have the same information as the LC. I can get a non I-485 related employment verification letter but here is the catch. The employer is dilly dallying on filing for I-485. The employer can give a letter with my job title which is "XYZ Developer" include salary, length of employment etc. But the "Final Determination" copy that I have says occupation: Computer Software Engineers, 15-1031. Does the letter have to state "Computer Software Engineer" or can it state "XYZ Developer" ? If it has to be the former that will only alert them that I am bypassing their stonewalling and the employer is only likely to refuse to include that as the job title. So which is which ? The job specific title ie "XYZ Developer" or the DOL title per the "Final Determination"

Sorry to hear this, but what is the violation you are referring to. I thot, L1s can be employed in the US on client projects by consulting companies, big or small. Sorry if i dont understand the visa rules here
Hi Guys,
I am pretty new to the forum (as a member), I have been browsing the same for quite some time and found it a good source of information regarding immigration related activities. Right now I am getting removed from my project as one of the top 3 Indian outsourcing firm is dumping their L1 resources at my client site and replacing all the citizens, GCs, EADs, H1 etc. These resources are used in projects managed and controlled by my client (most of them are consulting assignments) and these resources are used on java/.net/oracle projects, these two are violations of L1 visa restrictions set by USCIS, I want to know how and where to complain against this violation and we have all evidence to prove the same (project documents, time sheets, work assignments etc). Please let me know exactly and to which agencies we should complain.
Thanks in Advance,
Srini

I just told the nurse who was taking down my vaccination info that I had Chicken Pox in my childhood. That was enough to preclude the varicella shot. She didn't ask for a titre to confirm it.
My immigration doctor told me that if i had chickenpox in childhood i do not need the varicella vaccine? Which i did at age 5. Please, let me know if anyone else was told the same , i will be going back to him on Wednesday for the physical exam. I don't want to get a RFE on that.

Thanks ..So do you have any idea about how long USCIS takes in this situation to complete the name change?
It's tough to tell. According to processing times on usics.gov, I-90 takes 3.5 months in Nebraska service center. But the form is supposed to be mailed to Phoenix and I could not find any times for the Phoenix office. Since it's a simple correction, I'm hoping a 2-3 week turnaround time but be prepared for a 3+ month wait. If you need to travel, it's better to get an I-551 stamp in your passport so you can travel regardless.

Hi,
My wife filed for greencard in Oct 2006 under the Schedule A category where she filed for 140 and 485 concurrently.
We got our EADs in November 2006. Later my company started my GC process(priority date is Nov 2006). I talked to my attorney about my 485 filing and she says that I should go ahead and file my application but only Adjustment of Status and not AP and EAD along with it. I should however give the reference of my earlier reciept numbers while filing my 485. My questions are:
1. What happens if my wife's I-485 gets denied? How will this affect my I485 process and our EADs?
2. We have not applied for AP and also didn't get our medical examination done when filing my wife's 485 application. Can I do these now when filing my 485?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Oh's website is like a thanks giving store sale. Stores advertise super duper low prices for stuff and when you get there, they will just say that the item is sold out. They only keep handful in the inventory so the first few who camped out overnight will get it and rest will get frustration. The main idea is to bring people in the store so that they will buy other stuff while they are there.
Oh also uses the same tactic. He just announces sensational news all the time so people keep visiting his web site and more often than not, he'll just go back and retract the statement. The idea is not to share the news but to keep the traffic coming on his website for spicy breaking news and some might end up becoming his client.
I say the trick works. Even though I know that not everything he says can be trusted, I still visit his website to see if he has any new rumor. Go figure.

I received this email today.
Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production
485 Journey:
1) Filed 485 in July'07.
2) Changed job in September '08 and also filed AC21 in December 2008
3) My PD got current this month.
4) Infopass on September 1st,2010. IO said, my case is sitting at NSC and also pending FBI background check. So I lowered my hopes to get my approval anytime soon, because of all pre-adjudicated cases.
5) Got CPO email this morning (September 15th,2010)
Thanks for IV contributions to immigration related issues. I am going to contribute more soon.
