Hi sbmallik ,
Thanks for your reply. what's the continuous employment criteria? Is the reason my attorney enter '5/17' instead of '5/15'?
I have a letter from HR and saying the last day at my previous company was '5/15'. very boring!!!!
I will fell more comfortable if the experience letter mentions the last day as 5/17/2009. Otherwise I will simply mention it as April 2009. This way the continuous employment criteria will be met.

Hello, I have a question I hope someone is able to answer :)
Suppose my priority dates gets current for a certain month and therefore I apply for adjustment of status (I-485) and a EAD card for my wife (I-765). If the next visa bulletin retrogresses my priority date and it is no longer current, does that also freeze the I-765 processing, or would my wife get the EAD even if my priority date is no longer current?
Thanks.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has launched its newly re-designed Web site (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis). Although the Web site update was scheduled to be introduced September 22, 2009, attorney Eugenia Ponce visited the site Monday and has this report:
The updated Web site is organized according to categories.The categories are displayed as Topics, Forms, Resources, Laws, News, and About Us. The topics are categorized as follows: Adoption, Permanent Residence, Humanitarian, Citizenship, Members of the Military and Their Family, Family, Visit the U.S., Working in the U.S, and Genealogy. After clicking on a specific topic, I was provided helpful information and even more additional information was available through the links on the left of the screen.The advantage of categorizing the information by topic is that individuals are now able to familiarize themselves with the process from start to finish. There are other helpful links and tools within each specific topic.
Another key feature to the Web site is that there is a “where to start” link. Before, individuals could navigate throughout the Web site not knowing where to even begin their search on a narrow issue. Now, the “where to start link” will allow individuals to begin their immigration search by narrowing it down to their specific issue. For instance, there is a scroll-down available for individuals under the “where to start” link. It states “I Am,” and one can select from the various choices available and get specific information relating to any issue.
Given the new era with text messaging (even various airline companies provide flight and gate status information through text messaging), USCIS has upgraded its site by adding a link that allows individuals to receive case status updates via text messages. The newly designed site has provided a one-stop resource center for individuals with specific queries and I am excited in navigating throughout their links. Visit the newly re-designed USCIS Web site (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis) and see the improvements for yourself.

:) Only if your GC is based on marriage to a US Citizen. Otherwise all Family Based GC's also need 5 years.
Not only Marriage. Even father, mother close relative has 3 year wait

You should be able to work with any company provided they are ready to give you support when USCIS asks for an RFE about your employment status.
Also you have to make sure that your job fall in the same description that you have filed the 485 for.
Consult other informations/resources also.

Yates memo dated May 12, 2005 - is it still valid and has there been any change to it since its out ?
I want to specifically focus on the following question:
Question 8. Can an alien port to self-employment under INA � 204(j)?
Answer: Yes, as long as the requirements are met. First, the key is whether the employment is in a "same or similar" occupational classification as the job for which the original I-140 petition was filed. Second, it may be appropriate to confirm that the new employer and the job offer are legitimate through an RFE to the adjustment applicant for relevant information about these issues. Third, as with any portability case, USCIS will focus on whether the I-140 petition represented the truly intended employment at the time of the filing of both the I-140 and the I-485. This means that, as of the time of the filing of the I-140 and at the time of filing the I-485 if not filed concurrently, the I-140 petitioner must have had the intent to employ the beneficiary, and the alien must have intended to undertake the employment, upon adjustment. Adjudicators should not presume absence of such intent and may take the I-140 and supporting documents themselves as prima facie evidence of such intent, but in appropriate cases additional evidence or investigation may be appropriate.
Does this still hold good ? And if it does can someone help me understand the criteria mentioned here. Too much of technical jargon

While its true, a cousin of my mine applied when PD was not current and got her EAD while her husbands 485 was pending (still pending)
Now, its a different issue that she/he get RFE whenever they apply for EAD renewal and once had to do a MTR.
I can only guess that if the adjudicator checks the date of application before approving the 485, they might be in trouble!

Well they are always saying they "want to start" discussions things can turn quick if they want to ... But the point is whether we "in" or are we "out" of discussions if we have atleast one point representation in those talks I think there would some help instead of asking all of us to go back and start process again, this is what 2007 CIR did and it would be if we do nothing... For me I have sent emails / calls when HR XYZA legislation of Lofgren was in discussions.. but those are small numbers and I wonder whether IV Core is doing something through their Lobbying channels... Surely its coming if not today during the tenure of President Obama.

L1s don't visit these sites because most them don't apply for green card. L1s are majorly used by big companies like TCS, Infosys, etc. Those big corporates won't apply for GC. Very rarely based on relationship and long service some apply for GC.
I see lots of L1 bashing. In reality L1s are pitier than H1s. L1 cannot transfer their visa and change job as H1s do. They have to wait till H1 quota to open up for changing jobs. They run in a rat race to keep their manager happy to get better rating in their appraisal.
PS: I am on H1 status.
6 to 1...... maybe L1 guys don't visit this forum since they already got thier GCs....:rolleyes:
H1 loosers still hanging here.....

Good day everyone,
I am currently on H1B (company A) and am waiting for my new employer (company B) to do the transfer of my H1B. The stupid thing that I did was I gave my two weeks notice already (I have about 10 more business days left). My questions are:
1. How would the USCIS knows my last day of employment in company A? Do they know this only if employer A terminates my H1B?
2. What if I ask employer A not to terminate my H1B, at least until the actual filing (by company B) occurs?
Please advise, suggest and/or comment.
Thank you in advance,
T

I can not take infopass appointment as I don't have receipt number. Alos, I called up USCIS and they informed me that it is taking longer time for entry and so far they don't see my EAD and AP entries in their system. Although they have received I-485 which was sent along EAD/AP. I just wondering if anyone come across similar sitaution, also does it make sense to file EAD/AP again without any further waiting ?
Once you call USCIS on the 1-800-375-5283, try the following option sequence:
1-2-2-6 (key your 485's receipt number) -1-1 (listen to the case status) -3-4.
The last option (#4) enables you to get to an IO since you "filed a few applications together and think that some of them got seperated or lost".
If you already tried the above and it was not fruitful, please disregard this post.

My date will be current from September 1st. Is it okay to travel to India on a short trip while the date is current? If 485 gets approved while I am india, can I still come back on advance parole?
You are safe. Just make sure that your AP is valid when you re-enter.
If you are approved while out of the country, take a print out of your approval email and show it to the Immigration officer.

[QUOTE=bin2000;764909]Dear all,
My employer filed H1B with extension of stay even though I was not physically present in USA on the day of filing.I was out of USA on June 15th due to personal reasons and they filed H1B on July 10th.
I had requested them not to file extension of stay since I was already out of USA.USCIS approved the petition with extension of stay(I-94 attached).I need to go for visa stamping now .Will this create any issues while stamping?
Hello,
If you are currently abroad, you should not run into any problems as you do not currently have status. You should be able to reenter the U.S. using the I-797 approval notice and your H-1B visa stamp (if still valid). If not, you will require a new visa stamp. Either way, you *should* not run into any problems.
If you are currently in the U.S., please note that the extension technically does not apply - i.e. your expiration date remains what it was previously. If your status has already expired, I would strongly suggest consulting someone more intimately familiar with the specifics of your case. The most likely scenario will involve you immediately departing the U.S. to reenter with the most recent approval notice and thus utilize the additional time requested.

Yes, that's so true. But ensure, the duck is on a leash. otherwise it may never get back and make you wait at the shore forever....( Case in point, hard earned/saved money in stock market and unaffordable home.....waiting for ever for the recovery)
