My PD is current. Still I am not discontinuing my 50.00 per month contribution that I have been doing since january.

Great Thank YOU, Guys like you have no match!!! :)

See, rev you like my idea :P

Bow to the untrained designer :P =)

There is hope....

Was this your case? Did you get approved in two months? Whats your PD?

That is very nice, but as mdipi said, that center text is way out of place.

It is just.... there.... the font, size and everything just doesn't fit.

If you make that text grungier and change the font it should look better.

Hi Guys:

Had some questions with regards to my actual 485 form.

situation:

2000-2003 -F1 (never out of status/ visa stamped in 2000 in bombay)

2003-2004 - OPT

2004-2007 - 1st H1 (never got it stamped)

2007-2010 - 2nd H1 (stamped last month in canada)




PART 3

Place of Last Entry Into the United States (City/State)

What should i put over here? I did not get an arrival stamp when i came back from canada last month after stamping. all the immigration officer did was tear the bottom portion of the h1b approval and staple it to the passport. he said that was my I-94

http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/ReceiptingTimes080307.pdf

Per this press note, Nebraska has issued receipts for I-485 upto July 11 and Texas 26th June....

maybe they meant 07/1/2007

i filed for me and my wife through the lawyer on july 6th at NSC. I did not and havent received a receipt; however, 2 days ago we both received the EAD card (no AP yet) through the mail. I THEN went and checked the status online, and there it said cards had been ordered for processing.

Also, it turns out my lawyer had received the receipt notice on Sept. 18th, but i didnt.

Hope you get yours soon.

Even if you transferred you can still work for old company and keep on working there without joining new company.

That's what i believe. Please consult attorney for confirmation

guys have a question for u..
i'm invoking Ac21 and joining new employer.. but new employer is telling me that they dont want me to take any steps untill the H1 transfer is approved and in hand, and I have to give 2 weeks notice to my current employer after the approval..
now the question is that, after the approval will I be eligible to work for my older company for those 2 weeks since the H1 is already approved/transfered to the new employer?? has anyone faced such situation??...

there are about 40%..... so lots of them....

Are there anybody who saw LUD before they got the CPO mail? I saw many posts here where they mentioned that they never saw any status change/Soft LUD, prior to their CPO mail.

Same here. We submitted 485 on Jul2 without our medicals and some other major documents like birth certificates etc. Have had not issues till now. Got our receipt notices for 485, AP & EAD. Also got our EADs pretty quickly.

Wondering whether one can mail in the missing docs (including medical) with the 485 receipt instead of waiting for the RFE. Any ideas?
Hi stu*
Did you get an answer whether we can send the medical papers to USCIS now with I-485 receipts?
Would it work?
Anyone??

Siva, this is not new. I had such a request back in 2004. I was transferring my visa at the time. My attorney had a university professor state exactly the same thing in a letter. The letter took care of the problem.

I have a Master's program in US and had 3 years previous work ex. Filed my H1B transfer on Sep, which was recently converted to premium processing. Got the RFE as listed below:


If it is your contention that the beneficialry is qualified to perform services in the specialty occupation yu have described through a combination of education, specialised training and/or work experience in areas related to the specialty . you must submit an evaluation from an official who has the authority to grant college-level credit for training and/or experience in the speciality at an accredited college or univeristy, which has a program for granting such credit based on an individual's training and/or work experience.

With the evaluation, the official must include a letter from the dean or provost of the official's affiliated education instutions, stating that the evaluating offical has the authoriity to grant college-level credit for training and/or experience.

if any one has similar problem please share

Thanks

My friend's PERM got approved in 5 days in Dec '09. His I-140 got approved in 3 weeks in March '10. This could be an exceptional case as I have not seen any other such approvals..

If he is ROW EB2 he will get his greencard soon. I485 processing times are reduced to 4 months average per USCIS Director.

I am suppose to fill in the whole layer.. hwhere is the marquee area for the whole layer?

Donot forget to send the webfax :)

thanks

2750 web faxes have been sent! we are trying to get to 3,000.:)

I see what you are saying now, you were paid retroactively this year for work done last year. Since that pay will be reflected in this year's W2, you should be fine with the IRS. I am not sure how this will square up with the USCIS though. Talking to a good immigration attorney is a good idea.

Thanks Brent!
I'll experiment a bit the next time, it's just practice runs so far so I can afford some misses.

we have to make USCIS more transparent and effective...

Does anyone knows if Person eligible for AC21 porting is eligible for unemployment benefit?

Refer to this post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=234403&postcount=24) for a good answer.

An H1/ H4 was in their list. But my Wife used her EAD and is no mor eon H4. They advised her to apply for F-1, which I dont think is an option (the F-1 application will be rejected anyways, because of the already demonstrated immigration intent).
Did you ask them what are those acceptable documents?
