hi there
i am not surprised that these idiotic consulting companies do that. what surprises me is that the consulting companies trying to protect themselves. Arent they already doing all kinds of illegal activities fluffling up the resumes, making employees pay for H1, running payroll by taking tax money from the consultant.
given ur background i would be really surprised if your employer has placed you with the appropriate fresher resume. I am sure he has done a lot of stupid things. it is his problem to help you in this situation. arent they taking the bulk of your money when u are working hard for those a****** and f******. so i would suggest you talk to the employer into considering ur situation and if not try to move into an F1 situaiton and complain to Labor department that you have decided to not work on illegal terms and that is why ur employer is causing u trouble and make sure that your employer faces some music.
GOD WHEN DO U PUNISH THESE USELESS CONSULTING COMPANIES. MAKING ME LOSE RESPECT DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

hi,
This is my recent experience. I am a citizen of Poland so I don't need a visa to Bahamas. I left Charleston, SC on 12/27 and came back on H-1B on 1/1/2011. They did not take my I94 when leaving and when I came back there was only one question, "Are you still on H-1B?", I said yes and they let me in without any issues at all.

Congrats buddy!!!:)
Really happy for you. Glad that you are now out of that nightmare.
Copsmart ,
I can't wait to share this my dear IV friends, I got a CRIS notice today Sunday, that "Approval notice sent". To be very honest this is like green card to me, as I can invoke AC21. Also, with God's grace I've couple of offers in the pipeline, only to be delayed due to I-140 status.
On December 12, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.
I really thank each one of you and wish you success in the immigration process.
I will be in the rally at DC in 2009 for sure.
Happy holidays and bright new year!!!

hmm...standard of living much better and contingent upon the new law..hopefully better immigration policies and have friends there who love it! So don't really mind going there :D but looking at your profile, you've spent enough time here to consider a new country, but for others maybe worth an opportunity to look at :D

What difference does it make working on EAD/H1B.
Had you been single then you could have thought of maitining H1b status to bring spouse. In your case , I think if you work on EAD it is easy for your employer as well as for you.
If you return to H1b, you again need to go for Visa stamp.blah blah...if you are on EAD, then you can jsut use AP.
But the choice is always yours...
Yeah, but if something goes wrong with GC application, H1b is better. And EAD renewal is also a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig task.

When I filed my AP on line ( e filing) I got it in 7 days , because my expected travel date was within 15 days of my application.
If your travel date as mentioned is very nearer , then they process fast, whether it is paper application or e filing.
Applied (AP - 131) on Aug 21st - Approved on Sep 25th. Both myself and spouse.
Yet to receive AP in mail. Total processing time - 34 days.

I did not use any lawer I filed myself...Still I have to file G28?
if you filed by your self, then you would get all the RFE, no problem.
Invoking AC21 is your choice. you can either send a letter or not is upto.
Once you get RFE, you should able to send the new offer letter and what ever is requeired by RFE.
You seem to be safe, Good luck in finding a job.

Hi go_guy123,
I agree it is not prudent to stay here while the appeal is pending excpet for the time you need to wrap things up here and maybe find another employer. But everyone has some reasons to be here in US. My reasons are very very strong personal reasons. So I need to find a way to be here but definitely in a way that is legal and legitimate. My son has special needs and he requires the medical and therapy sessions here. Not only that... he has a life here which he can never get in India because of social/cultural implications.
Thanks.
Thats perfectly fine restartinggc,
Is your son born in US, then you can try to contact a lawyer who can file a case of hardship for US citizen. Most of the conventional ways that people in H1B from India
try out are limited.
You will need to explore the non-conventional ways that people from other parts of the
world try.
The chances of CIR or immigration EB reform are low now given that Obama and the democratic party has lost a lot of their political capital on Health bill. The conservative are embolden by their victory in opposing this bill.
Just look at the hostility towards immigrants in US on the whole.

I am not sure what company you work for. But the companies who ONLY work for Government they usually dont hire H1. Considering the fact they hired you I can assume that your company must be contracting with non-Government organisation. I am sure you can convince them to find opportunity for you in non Government contract. For example my company provide service to Department Of Defense. Their policy is one have to be US citizen and only US Citizen. I do not have access to any of their system but thats fine with me as well as my company. My company is processing my GC and GC for many other.
So dont loose hope.

Here is the detail....
Yes, these are two terms for the same thing. The A# is a case number that USCIS assigns to certain people, and then (usually, for exceptions see below) stays with you for the rest of your life, much like a Social Security Number. Most people get their A# when they apply for adjustment of status. It is also assigned if you apply for an employment authorization document (such as an F-1 OPT), a V visa, find yourself in deportation proceedings, and in a number of other situations.
Many USCIS forms ask for the A#. If you do not have one yet, simply write "None".
There actually are four separate types of A#. You can tell them apart by the number of digits and the first digit. The first kind is an eight-digit A#. These are manually assigned at local offices. If you have one of these numbers, simply treated it as if it was "0" plus the number. Nine-digit A#'s that start with the digit 1 are used for employment authorization cards, usually related to students. Nine-digit A#'s that start with the digit 3 are used for fingerprint tracking of V visa applicants. All other nine-digit A#'s (these actually always start with a 0) are permanent A#'s and remain permanently with you for life.
Therefore, the rule is: if you are asked for an A# and have one, always give this A#, regardless of whether it starts with a 0, 1 or 3. If you have both a 0-A# and a 1-A# or a 3-A#, then use the one that starts with a 0.
This does not cover A# that is on our I-94's ?

There are approx 100K applicants waiting for 3k/year visa#(each category). Sure DOL/USCIS can improve the process so it's more predictable.
Problem:
India can't get unused visa# unless ROW are "C". If DOL makes "C" everyone then PD:2006 RD:2006 get the GC first before PD:2001 RD:2007. :)
So many state/govt agencies are involved in process and there is NO coherent process in place(For me LC took 5+ years where my friend got in 2 months). So it's come down to luck which should not be if govt have comprehensive process. :cool:
There are still about 35 people listed with priority dates before May 2001.
Just to extrapolate say 0.0% to 0.5% people register at .
Approximately number of applications could be between 7000 (at 0.5%) and 35000 (at 0.1%)
Without any law changes, chances of getting EB3 priority dates moving for India any time soon are very less.

Where(I mean URL) can we get complete rules/regulations for using I-140 premium processing for Eb2/Eb3?
straight from the USCIS website:
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=bc6755fe4a37a110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD
USCIS is limiting Premium Processing Service for Form I-140 petitions that are filed on behalf of aliens:
* Whose sixth year will end within 60 days;
* Who are only eligible for a further extension of H-1B nonimmigrant status under section 104(c) of the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-first Century Act of 2000 (AC21); and
* Who are ineligible to extend their H-1B status under section 106(a) of AC21.
the second bullet-point there refers to the 3 year extension that you get once I-140 is approved. 3rd one refers to the 1 year extension you get if PD >365 days old. So if your PD is >365 days, you are not eligible for PP of I-140

This is really so confusing. Here's another link from Carl Shusterman. Please look at question 1 and 2:
http://immigration.about.com/library/weekly/aa090903b.htm
In the link, he clearly says that AC21 is possible as long as there is no revocation within the first 6 months of filing for i485.
Is anyone in the same boat as I am? If so, what have you guys done so far?
Thank you.

I just got back from an Infopass appt. The officer said that my 485 has cleared name check. She didn't give any more information regarding my 485. Does anyone have an idea of how long approvals take after name check's cleared? Is this something to get excited about? :). My priority date is Feb 2004 with a notice date of 9th September 2007 at NSC.
I forgot to ask her when my name check was cleared.
GCnew - "I went to for an Infopass appointment yesterday and the IO told me that my name check has cleared and that she will send a note to NSC to expedite processing of my case. She also gave me an SRC no and asked me to call their toll free number if I had any questions"
The officer I spoke to didn't mention this option. Did you have to ask her about it specifically or did she bring this up on her own? What's your notice date? Thanks.
Kunal -- Which option did you finally choose when making the appointment online? If you picked the third option, did they ask you for the service request number?
What reason did you give the IO for infopass when you went there? Thanks.

Hi dan19,
I think if your friend who came back to US on H4 even when her H1 was approved is in trouble.
Her H1 status was activated when her H1 was approved.If she came back on H4 it means that she invalidated the H1 and again activated her H4 status.
Currently if she is working somewhere then my advice to her would be to immdiately stop working as her current status is H4.
