The only other thing I think should be stressed is that we are already H1-b holders, already applied for green cards, so not taking any more jobs away from USCs. All we are asking for is expedited processing of our already filed applications.
Then Numbersusa or other anti-immigration groups have no points to raise against us
NYCgal369,
An H1-B never takes a job away from a US citizen...I know you know this, and meant it, but please amend your post, so that our friends on the other side don't start using our words disingenuously against us. As for the point that you brought up, I drove home that point repeatedly at an event in Washington, DC last Friday: we have already applied for our green cards.
Best,
RR.

We filed our 485 on July 2nd 2007 at Nebraska office � EB3 � July 7, 2001
- The case was shifted to Texas and we received notices from Texas office with receipt date of August 27.
- Our date is now current however processing at Texas is still stuck at June 27, 2007.
- Does this mean our RD is now 08/27/07 even though it was recd. at Nebraska on 07/02/07??
Unfortunately yes - RD Aug 27, you can confirm this by looking at your receipt notice that you got from your attorney.

hi all,
I wrote a thread earlier saying I want to withdraw application for my H-1B stamping since it is stuck in admin processing and I will now travel using my AP. I called up the embassy asking them about the procedure and they told me to email at nivnd@state.gov and requesting withdrawing the case. Do I need to explain to them that I want to travel back and I will do it on AP . Also do I need to tell things like I am needed urgently back to join my work.
Please let me know,
Thanks,
Ravi

i dont get all this negativity. like sure you may think it's crap but wouldn't it be a happier world if we said what we liked about stuff - not what we hate. (ie find something you really like (like windows or linux if you're so against mac) and put that on a stamp).
spread the love people. :afro: :love:
as design wise goes kirupa is right when he says the text suffers. it's really rough and big. i reckon make it small and in a corner somewhere.

Hi,
My EB2 labor PD 12/2002 is in Philadelphai backlog center. With the online backlog case status now available, I wanted to find out about my case.
However, lawyer is not giving my case number. Is there any way to find out. Gurus please help with suggestions.
Thanks
Talking to your employer is better than asking attorney.Sometimes Attorny dont respond to the candidate.

I havn't gotten mine yet. Filed on Sept 11th at VSC. Check seems to have cleared though -according to the Attorney. However I guess the delay in my case is the exception rather than the rule.
Funny thing is that we got the approval notice today! No receipt notice though.

Hi Gurus,
I have filled 485 on July 2nd. I have received receipts on Aug22 but my son 485 got rejected due to checks are not signed(my lawyer forgot to sign). CIS told me they sent back the 485 packet to my lawyer, but my lawyer is saying he did not received. On line status/ CIS officer told me to re-submit the file.
I am trying to re-file. Is any body faced this type of problem? Did USCIS accepted the file? Whom should i send this file or is there specific person like "Supervisor" or "Manager"
My lawyer is not supporting, he is giving hard time.
I am waiting for your valuable response.
Thanks

Hi All,
I work for a big software company and they have recently changed their name "XXXXUSA Inc" to "XXXX America Inc". It is just a company name change and everything else is the same. But, we got an email from our Lawyers yesterday that "Your I-485 application remains valid under AC21 portability provisions despite the change in your employment. In order to continue with your existing permanent residence application under the AC21 portability provisions, we will prepare and file a letter to notify the USCIS of the change in your employment from XXX USA, Inc. to XXX America, Inc."
My I140 is approved with XXXX USA Inc and AOS is filed based on that. My concern is that I am travelling to India on AP and come back in Mid May. I have the following questions:
I asked if I can delay this filing until I come back..my lawyers said "While there is no hard USCIS deadline for this particular filing, this project is a high priority for us and our instructions are to complete this project for all employees ASAP. The AC21 filing will not affect your pending I-485 or your entry into the U.S. in any way"
1. Is it true as my lawyers say that there is no deadline to file AC21? My confusion is should i do this or delay until i come back?
2. If they file this letter would there be any impact to the pending I485 and hence my re-entry to US using AP? Because I read so many threads regarding wrong denial of I485 because of AC21? In my case, it is the same company, no chance of I-140 withdrwawl etc...
3. Assuming if I delay the filing, when you enter on AP, i heard they are asking are you still working for the same petitioner? If I some how had to tell them my company name has changed, then would there be any problems because of not filing this?
My POE is SFO.
Please share your opinion guys..thanks for your help.

I recently received an inquiry at my San Francisco immigration law office from an "employer" who recently discovered that a person whom he had hired as an independent contractor was in the United States illegally. The employer had not originally known that the "employee" was illegal because independent contractors are exempt from the requirements of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (*IRCA*) (https://www.oig.lsc.gov/legis/irca86.htm) that require an employer to verify that an an employee is authorized to work in the United States. The "employer" wanted to explore the options of legalizing the contractor. While thinking about the options, I became interested in how the law defines an independent contractor.
According to 8 Code of Federal Regulations Section 274a.1(j) (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/8cfr274a.1.pdf) an independent contractor is an individual or entity who carries on an independent business, contracts to do a piece of work according to their own means and methods, and are subject to control only as to results.
The decision of whether or not someone is an independent contractor is determined on a case-by-case basis. Factors to be considered include whether the individual or entity:
supplies the tools or materials;
makes services available to the general public;
works for a number of clients at the same time;
has an opportunity for profit or loss as a result of labor or services provided;
invests in the facilities for work;
directs the order or sequence in which the work is to be done and determines the hours during which the work is to be done.
I began to wonder if people used independent contractors to get around the IRCA requirements. Apparently Congress thought about that as there is a regulation which states that an "employer" may not avoid the requirements of IRCA by hiring an independent contractor if a person or entity knowingly uses a contract or subcontract to obtain labor or services of an unauthorized alien. 8 C.F.R. �274a.5 (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/8cfr274a.5.pdf).

Hi-
I am applying for my EAD/AP renewal. The received date on my I-485 notice is Aug 2007. According to USCIS, if you filed after July 30 2007, you are not required to include a Fee.
I am looking at my receipt notices and I feel like I payed under the old fee structure and should include the fee. Here are the amounts
I-485 : $395.00
I-765 : $180.00
I-131: $170.00
Can someone please advice if I need to include the fee for AP and EAD renewal.
Thanks

I am hoping someone can shed some light on this situation:
I filed 140 and 485 concurrently (July, 2007). Today I received an email update saying that a RFE has been sent about my 485 petition. There's a LUD update for my 485 but my 140 seems untouched. What kind of issues with the case would prompt an RFE for the 485 before the 140 is processed? Is this for a second set of fingerprints or could this be something more serious? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Most companies that hire H1b workers or sponsor F1/OPT status workers for first-time H1 either have a law-firm deal all their immigration cases or an outside lawyer. Some of the big companies have a full-time in-house counsel.
Some employers who rarely hire professionals in need of H1b may not be aware of process and may ask you to look for lawyer to do it for them. The H1B petition is filed by employer. However, employee can certainly help with it. Legally, the employer cannot charge the employee for USCIS fees or lawyer's fees. However, you can hire your own lawyer to help you with your questions and answers(if you hire your own lawyer, you can be comfortable with all advise he gives you, since he would have your best interest in mind as you would be the client). However, to file a petition of H1, your employer should be paying the lawyer(either your lawyer or their lawyer).
Filing for H1B petition requires a fixed set of documents and its simple to do if you have time to do a little research. Many employees help their employers and together, they do it themselves without the help of lawyer, therby saving money. An average lawyer would charge 1000 dollars in fees for filing the petition. For USCIS fees, please look up their website.
There are H1 specific forums on www.immigrationportal.com which would have more details.
Thanks.
