Why do people do this every month DOL, USCIS, president and no one can predict this, so what is the point?

Hi all,
I do have a worry about I140 processing and I hope somebody can help me.
I finally got my LC approved and now in the concurrent I140 and I485 filling process.
However, I noticed that there is a minor mistake in filling on my ETA9089.
My OPT expired on August 14th, 2006 and my H1-B was approved Dec 12th2006. However in the job experience part, there is a booboo. Instead of putting the start date as January 15th, 2007 (which was the date I started working in the company), they put August 14th, 2006. So from USCIS standing point of view, it could mean that I work during the gap between my OPT and H1-B! :(
Now I am worried sick that they will deny my I-140.
Any inputs anybody?

Hi,
I had applied for my H1 extension in June 2008 and waited for some time and then upgraded it to premium processing in July. I did not get any result on my H1 extension but in the meantime my GC was approved in August. My question is will i be able to get my H1 processing fee back, at least the premium processing fee. I heard if your H1 processing doesn't get any result in certain time you will be entitled to get your money back.
Thanks in advance
I highy doubt it that you will get any fees back from USCIS. If you ask about the status of your H1 they will just get back to you saying that your H1 application was rejected since the applicant is n longer in Non Immigrant status as your status chnaged to Immigrant as soon as your Green Card was approved. You can try but very few people have actually recieved fees back from USCIS. Good luck

The upside-down "V" shaped branches in the upper left corner are distracting, but could probably be cloned out with a bit of work in PS. The bright leaves in the upper right corner are also distracting, but a bit of burning in could probably make them stand out less. The water is blown out down at the bottom, but that's easy to excuse if you're using a P&S where you don't have much control over the exposure - or even a way to reliably gauge it until the image is on your computer monitor. Overall, the image has potential, and it shouldn't be too hard to fix most of the little issues I see with a bit of time in Photoshop. :)

Hi All,
My passport expires in 2 months time. I checked Indian Consulate in Chicago website for passport renewal (Passport and Consular Services (http://chicago.indianconsulate.com/Passpins.html#A). _New_Passport
). It instructs you to fill out an online application at https://passport.gov.in/nri/OnlineRegistration.jsp
What I am confused is in the second field "Service Desired", what do I fill? I do not know which of these two options I should fill (a) Passport for children upto 15 years (b) Fresh Passport (c) Re-issue of passport (d) New passport in lieu of damaged or lost passport. Options (a) and (d) do not apply to me. Should I fill (b) or (c)?
These options are a bit confusing and I could not locate any instructions for this web form. The consulate phone number just keeps on playing a 5 minute generic recording.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I understand that a H1B visa is the expense to the employer and is not a taxable benefit to the employee. If a company wishes to pay for the green card for the employee, granting them permanent residence in the U.S., is this a taxable benefit to the employee? Should it be added to their W-2? If yes, where is the IRS documentation on this? I can?t find it. Thanks.
If the company pays for GC expenses directly, then it is an expense to the company, and it will not be reported on W2 as it is not a taxable benefit. However, if you are being reimbursed for GC expenses, *some* companies report this in paycheck as non-taxable income, again you will not be paying taxes to IRS on this. It is just a record keeping.

Any views would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

We have seen many recent cases where the employer revokes I-140 and that causes inadvertent issues with a pending AOS application.
With the economy worsening, several companies are going to be forced to lay off employees, many in an amicable way. Also many small companies do not know the legalities and just revoke I-140 to be on the safe side.
I have heard over an over again that companies are not required to revoke I-140, but is there some official documentation that says so? If we have that handy, then in case of a layoff we could point them to the documentation and request them to NOT revoke the I-140 petition.
I tried to look around, but couldn't find any. Does anyone else know?

Gurus,
I saw three LUDs on 485 applications after FP. Last as latest as August 23rd. No recent LUD on EAD or AP yet.
What should I expect?
Patience my dear friend. I haven't seen any second LUD on I-485 since FP date.

Send RFE reply with USCIS approved doctor's letter to explain the details. Only medical expert can comment about the vaccine. No one can impose vaccine if it is not appropriate with the age.
I am posting this on behalf of a friend. They (husband/wife) got their green card approval last week, however they got 2 RFEs for their 2 kids. The RFE is about a vaccine called PNEUMOCOCCAL (PCV/PPV) that's not been administered for the kids. The RFE mentions the requirement for this vaccine but the doctor deemed it as NOT-AGE-APPROPRIATE in their filed medical forms.
Our guess is that when they actually administered the vaccine about a year or so ago, it was deemed "Not age appropriate" but now upon approval, the USCIS deems it necessary. I'd appreciate it if anybody with similar experience can post as to how they handled the situation or any insights into who to talk to is also much appreciated. The family is currently not in the country and therefore their options are limited in terms of talking to or meeting someone face to face. Also they need to respond to the RFE by June 24.
Thanks.

I was in united states for 5 years and 2 months on H1-B visa. I did not apply for green card during my stay and had to return to India in Aug'2008 due to personal reasons. I want to find out if I am eligible for applyng H1 in this year's quota through same employer with whom I had earlier H1.
Here is my situation -
1. My H1-B petition is valid till 12th July 2009. My passport is not stamped to reflect this date.
2. I came back to India for good on 31st August 2008.
3. If I go back to US before 12th July, I will only get extension for remaining 10 months (as I was in us for 5 years and 2 months). But I want to go for couple of years, so have to go on new visa after completion of 1 year in India.
So I want to check if I am eligible for filing H1-B in this year's quota through same employer ?
If you physically live outside US for 365 days or more, then your H1B visa time will reset, however, your new application will be subject to cap; i.e., if your application is not picked up in the lottery, you will not be able to work. Note that if you apply for new H1B, it will start from Oct 1, 2009. The employer -- a new one or the old one -- is immaterial in this calculation.

Gap in employment and porting priority date:
What if there is a gap of employment between leaving the previous employer who made the initial green card application under EB3 and joining the new employer who is willing to make a new application under EB2.
I-140 is approved, I-485 was pending for more than six months when the employee left the first company and has had a gap in employment for a few months. The employee has joined the new company using EAD. I-140 has not been revoked.
Would applying for the green card under EB-2 and trying to port the EB-3 priority date cause any complications given the gap in employment. The new job satisfies the same or similar job requirement with a 50% bump in salary and meets the EB-2 requirements. Would really appreciate your insight on the risks to be aware of if any due to the gap in employment. Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding filling the emp history on G325, I did part time jobs in my university(in the allowed 20 hours) do i need to mention this as well or its just the professional emp part ? The problem is i used to work on and off in my pt jobs which comes out with a lot of periods with breaks in between.

Hi,
I am on Adv-Parole (with EAD) and planning to visit India in July 2010.
I know that UK and France require transit visa, but I was wondering whether I can fly via KLM (Amsterdam) OR Lufthansa (Frankfurt) without any transit visa ?
Will appreciate the response.
Thanks,
Venu.
if you don't plan on staying over in Frankfurt from personal experience no you do not need a transit visa.

Why would one get a LUD on an OLD h1 with no LUD on anything else?
Just got CRIS email/LUD (no status change) on an old h1b that had no status change since Oct 2004. No LUD on the I140/485 or anything else. Only thing that makes sense to me is that my H1b is about to expire on dec 10 so maybe it has to do with that?
Anyone else have a similar experience. it's a little nerve wrecking.

Thanks frostrated. When I said CPT I actually meant STEM Extension (17 month). Anyways, if I don't find employment before my OPT expires, can I go to back to school without an issue? I think I should be okay but I just wanted to make sure. I would appreciate it if I got any input on this matter. I need to double check myself to make sure I'm on a legal status
Yes, you can go back to school. But you also need to find out if you were in violation of your status. On OPT, you cannot stay without working for more than a set period of days.
Though that is rarely enforced, it is good to keep in mind.
You can get an OPT only once per degree level. So, if you got your OPT for a master's level program, you cannot get another OPT for a master's level degree. You can get one for the Phd though. So keep that in mind when you go back to school.

Hello,
I am stuck in India (along with my husband who) after leaving USA where I am living for over 5 years. I just came for 2 wks here in India to get stamping done at the Chennai Consulate. They kept my passport and said they will give visa, in next 3-4wks..Its past a month and 3 wks.. I am force to live with relatives. I can't even go to my home country without my passport. Everything I own is back in USA. How do I get back to it? I am on H4 and my husband is H1B. I am holding another country's nationality. I can't even visit my home country without my passport. Why did the Consulate kept the passports for this long? :confused:Why are we being treated this way?? Why didn't they do a security check where I was living for over 5 years? I am so frustrated being stuck and worry about my home left unattended back in the US.
:mad:
Any advise? Can I contact someone to help expedite this process?
