yup your renewed 797 has not been entered in their PIMS database, that is why the delay , you should be all set in 1-2 weeks time.
Please share your experience once you get back your stamped passport.

I think all it is saying is that you need to submit the approved labor certification application with your i-140/485 concurrent application, as far as i can remember my lawyer sent in my approved labor cert appli with my concurrent filing appli.. although please check with ur lawyer...
This is FAQ from USCIS website:
Q1: Will USCIS reject a concurrently filed EB I-140/I-485 case if it is lacking a required Labor Certification?
A1. USCIS will not accept an I-140 based on a required labor certification application if the approved labor certification application is not submitted in connection with the filing. USCIS will not accept a concurrently filed Form I-485 if the required Form I-140 is rejected for lack of an approved labor certification application.
-----------------------------------------------
Anyone knows what that means? I have filed 140/485 concurrently on July 2nd 2007. However, I never received original LC document and my lawyer said it is okay to file 140 without original LC document, USCIS will collect it from DOL. Do you think this will affect me?
Thanks

What's the deal here? I think this info is posted a lot of times. Any reason to post it again? Just trying to find reason.
its good to see data like this after a while...if nothing else...it provides a snapshot of where we are.

When you get the statement from an India bank, ask them to include the USD amount as of that date. That way you have both USD and INR amount in the statement.

Hi YabaYaba,
Thanks for your kind advice. I tried to take Infopass now. Shockingly, no appointment is available for August and September. Is there any way that we can get emergency Infopass at Local office?
Thanks,
Raj

This organization and this forum is running on contributions but why you guys want to use this forum but not interested in contributing, if you need just info there are so many other attorney forums where you can go and get the info. but when you are here in IV, i'll ask to contribute on any thread:D you guys dont even bother to look into action items and contribution thread. so i have to go to each and every thread and request people
So, i once again request you guys to think about contribution and let IV work for us. Thanks.
And please dont tie even this post again asking him to contribute. Contribution is a different issue. Atleast there are some other things that doesn't need financial contribution but organizational contribution.

Hi,
I submitted my 485 in julyEven i applied for my wife too.....we both got EAD, AP...She left to India...we have problems and we may seperate each other...So not sure when we get divorce because of outdated Indian marriage laws...Are there going to be any problems when they are adjudicating my 485 application? Her FP done and she got AP until Sep 2008...Now what will happen if USCIS sends out an FP notice for my wife...She won't be doing finger printing...Is it going effect my GC in anyway?
It will not affect your GC in anyway. They will send RFE for your wife when it comes for adjudication. You can reply thru your lawyer, based on your marital status at that time, the appropriate answer.
AFAIK, if she does not come back before the date mentioned in the AP (sept 2008), she will abandon the GC application unless she has a valid dual intent visa.
Hope things work out between you and your wife.

You cannot be a partner in LLC and work for the same company on H1B.
But my guess is nothing stops you from not be a founding member and work for the same company. Your other two partners can be owners and they will have the right to give you as many shares as they want. This is a guess, so please confirm with a Lawyer. Explore the same option with C Corp/S Corp as well.
Do share with us what you find out. :)
And BTW if you are just three people and making a million you guys are making a killing. What business you guys in?

Without trying to sound too harsh, I think my dog could knock up something more worth going freelance about. :D
No hard feelings. I just really need to get back on my feet, since I am relatively busy I just got my own place, and I really need an idea to set me in motion. I am not a spontaneous artist in any sense at all.

I think they(outsourcing companies) do and that's the abuse part of it.
Sponsoring company should be a non-american company.
What is the difference between L1B and H1B? Why don't companies hire on L1B when H1B's are over? Thanks.

Gurus,
When I filed/sent my Paper based I-131 - Advance Parole (AP) form yesterday I forgot to attach the photographs along with it. I just realised it now.
Now what are the options I have. Will USCIS reject my I-131 - Advance Parole (AP) application packet and send it back or would they ask for RFE(Request for Evidence) of photograph.
Or is it OK to send the photographs and mention the Alien A# .
Has any body been through this situation before. I was planning on using AP for travel to INDIA in the few months now I guess I am in serious mess.
Your help is much appreciated.
If you dont mind, can you share what supporting documents you submitted.
Thanks a lot.

I have H1 extension of 3 yrs after 6 yrs of H1 b'cos of approved I 140. Now when I file 485 and EAD, can I still use the H1 till expiry date if somehow 485 application gets denied before H1 expiry date?
I know if the CIR in it's current form is passed then this question becomes invalid, since I am consulting on H1.
you can maintain dual status .

My PD is July 2004,
RD July 2, 2007 - NSC
ND : Aug 9, 2007
I-140 (EB2) approved in Nov 2006 (Single I140)
NC Cleared Oct 2007
Biometrics Updated by USCIS on Feb 2009
Case Preajudicated on Apr 13 2009 after response to EVL Rfe received by USCIS.
Last slud on Apr 14, 2009.
I opened SR's on 3rd Sept 2009 to check the status of my I-485 and got a disturbing email that I am in EB3 category and visa not available. Opened another SR to clarify this but did not get proper reply. Also they said they cannot correct the EB category.
Went for an infopass today and the IO told that my current EB classification is E37 and my spouse as E39. This means that I am in EB3. (See GC codes - GREEN CARD CATEGORY CODES (http://www..com/usa-discussion-forums/i485-eb/125892951/green-card-category-codes))
Look a like USCIS has put me in incorrect EB classfication. My Attorney said he will write to USCIS but I wanted to know if I can do anything to get this corrected.
I wanted to know if anyone faced similar issue and how to fix this .
Is there a normal/expedited way to contact USCIS-NSC to correct this type of issues?
Because of this mistake I am seriously affected and losing precious time when the dates for EB2 are current.
PLEASE HELP.:confused: :mad:

I had asked this question to the immigration lawyer at IV. She said that if you are working for the same company at their offices aboard & go for Consular Processing ( it is the only option as you can not go 485 route) it should be just fine. However, if the company that you are working for when you are abroad and the company that did your GC are not the same thenit is almost impossible to prove that the job exists when you arrive in USA after CP.

In an amazing turn of the tables, Republicans are growing increasingly concerned that Democrats will attempt to pass immigration reform this year in order foster an internal split on the right. Since Prop 187 was passed in California in 1994, Republicans have often tried to use the immigration issue as a way to energize right wing voters and get them to oppose Democrats who are pro-immigration. Three op-ed pieces discuss that issue just in the last day. Michael Barone of the right wing American Enterprise Institute in the Wall Street Journal, Fox News co-host Morton Kondracke in Congressional Quarterly and...
