Thankyou.
My main worry is that since I dont have a copy of the I-140 approval from old employer, Is there a way the new employer can ask USCIS to look up that case(I have a copy of the receipt)?

Dear Friends
I have a friend who is currently on H1B, currently on vacation in home-country, and stuck in PIMS verification.
1. he has H1B from current employer (valid till 2009) - Employer1.
2. another H1B from previous employer - Employer2. Previous employer ready to hire him again.
3. His spouse filed for his GC and his EAD, AP has already been received. Spouse has approved PERM, pending i140 and pending AOS.
He came on H4, converted to H1B (with Employer2), then switched to Employer1. Then went on vacation, and appeared for H1 re-stamping interview with i797, documents provided by current employer (Employer1).
Now he is stuck in PIMS verification, and the current employer want him to join asap and threatening to terminate her employment.
Assuming that current employer does not revoke H1B, but terminates him, can you help answer following doubts -
[A] validity of such a stamp on passport -
Q1. Will the visa stamp (with current employer) be vaild?
Q2. Previous employer hasn't revoked the H-1B, will that still be usable for jobs, re-entry?
[B] Re-entry
Q3. Inspite of termination, can the stamp and i797 of the current employer valid for re-entry?
Q4. Should he rather use i797 of the previous employer + passport (with stamp of current employer) for re-entry? Previous employer can provide offer letter and job description etc.? Is this route valid and will they allow re-entry on this?
Q5. Though he wants to continue on H-1B, but if his current situation may result in violation of any provisions, should he rather use Advance parole to re-enter?
THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE FOR ALL YOUR RESPONSES!!!!

Hi,
I anticipate an inevitable situation arising out regarding my parents' health, that would require us to move back to India sometime in 2007. My EB2 NIW PD is Dec 2004. Does somebody out there with knowledge about issues and procedures connected with transferring from AOS application to Consular processing in India?
Thanks.

You can change from AOS to Consular Processing. It's the other way around that's not possible. I wish your parents a speed recovery of their health.

I would appreciate any and all advice that anyone can provide:
My green card was sponsored by my husband, who has a GC. I was travelling out of the country on advance parole, when my passport got stolen, and I had to return to my original country to get a new passport issued, this took some months, during which, my advance parole to travel document expired. SO I could not enter the US. Then, a couple of weeks later, my green card approval, I485 was approved and a notice sent to me in the US. This was in June 2006. Since then, I have not received any other letter/notice, or the GC itself, and I am still stuck outside the US, without my husband. My lawyer is not doing naything about it, and I dont know what I can do?? I have tried contacting the 1800 number, and they say they put in service requests for me, but I have still not received any new information from that end as well, and each time, I have to wait 45 days before they can put in a new service request.
Help!!
Please advise, as it has been so long, and I am still stuck outside the US without my husband.
Any and ALL advice is most welcome

Hi all,
I'm wondering if there are any successful cases where CSPA and the Patriot Act were combined to ensure that the child remains under 21? My son's name has been deleted from the derivative beneficiary's list, however, he can remain eligible under this F-4 petition if the Consular calculate his age with Patriot Act 45 days. In that case, he can benefit from CSPA. Our case details as below:
Priority Date: Oct. 16, 1996
Approval Date: Dec. 4, 1996
Days of Petition Pending: 49 days
Child's 21st Birthday: May 31, 2007
Child's age when visa became current: 21 years 62 days
Need your advices. Thanks!
In Adlac 2
It say if both the CSPA and Patriot apply then the better benefit should be accorded to the alien
If patriot act does apply add 45 days onto his birthday, but the visa number did not become concurrent till 62 days past birthday.
How did you get on with the attorney?

You probably still have enough time if you go for PRemium Processing. LCA will take around a week and Premium H1 will take another 2 weeks .

I had expected some kind of outlook from the recent AILA - DoS liaison that happened in San Antonio. Both Matthew Oh and Sheela Murthy did not report any outlook. But here's an outlook from another lawyer
http://www.gtlaw.com/practices/immi.../2006/06/27.htm
Immigration News Flash
June 27, 2006
Further Retrogression for Employment-Based Immigrant Visas Anticipated
At a recent immigration conference in San Antonio, it was reported that the Department of State ("DOS") expects that the EB1 China category will remain current and the EB2 China category to continue advancing. On a less positive note, further delays in the EB1 and EB2 categories for Indian nationals is expected as well as the EB3 category for all nationalities. With the Department of Labor's optimistic projection that the the Backlog Elimination Centers will meet their goal of eliminating its backlog and processing the remaining labor certifications filed pre-PERM implementation by September 2007, the DOS expects severe retrogression in many of the categories, particularly the EB3 categories - across the board. While this report is pure speculation, it does spark concern that applicants will be facing further delays in the permanent residence process. The DOS' Visa Bulletin is released on a monthly basis at http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/b...letin_1770.html. Greenberg Traurig will continue to monitor this issue and provide further updates as soon as they are available.
Looks like it's a long haul for EB3 in general and could be punishing for EB3-IND and EB2-IND.
This is the effect of increasing the H1B quota to 115,000 for 2 years and then to 195000 in 1 year without actually increasing the GC quota.
Good luck to all of us. Those who are in late 2001 and early 2002 EB3-IND filers can hope to get relief in the next year or so but unless some bill passes other EB3-IND filers should possibly work towards Plan B. Also read the report by USCIS ombudsman. It's quite revealing about the working of USCIS. This country might be technologically advanced but it's bureaucracy seems to be much worse than third world countries comparitively.

Thanks beuhler.
Yes, I have been residing in the US for several years now. I was not sure if the consular districts are determined based on the state of current residence or based on the state of my permanent address in India or state that issued my passport. After reading your reply, I looked up what the embassy "loosely" defines consular district as at :
http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/nivconsdist.html
So it does state that US residents can apply for the NIV at any of the four consulates. So does this mean that their emergency appointment requirement of being from the New Delhi consular districts applies only to residents of India and not residents in the US ? This seems subject to interpretation.
In your case, was it an emergency appointment or a regular one ?
Thanks.

Isnt the three year extension valid only if you cannot file your I-485 because of retrogression? Once you file your 485, you get only a year?
1. Labor Pending for > 365 days = 1 year H1 extension
2. 140 Approved AND 485 Filed & Pending AND Priority Dates Current = 1 year H1 extension
3. 140 Approved AND Priority Dates NOT Current = 3 year H1 extension
4. 140 Approved AND 485 Filed & Pending AND Priority Dates NOT Current = 3 year H1 extension
I guess, you will be #4

Hi,
I am wondering if anybody had done this before: I want to work part time (20 hrs/week) for 6 months( and no other job). I am on H1 but I also have EAD. So I am wondering if there are any implications to this such as I need to amend my H1b , because of some obscure law my GC process will be affected. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

The most recent update from the USCIS is showing again a steady approval rate. The jump we saw in October was just due to a more current update of the approval, nit an increase in filing according to the USCIS. If this pace will continue we will see visas all through early 2010, but I may be wrong here...
Ao here is is the update from USCIS: As of November 6, 2009, approximately 54,700 H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) cap-subject petitions had been filed. USCIS has approved sufficient H1-B petitions for aliens with advanced degrees to meet the exemption of 20,000 from the fiscal year 2010 cap. Any H1-B petitions filed on behalf of an alien with an advanced degree will now count toward the general H1-B cap of 65,000. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.

Hello,
My Present H1B stamp is with company A and expires November 20 2007. Now I'm with company B and with this I have my petetion (H1B approval) which expires June 20 2008. Now I'm travelling to India for my marriage and coming back September 8. I'm not getting the new stamp this time. Will I have any problem during the immigration ??
Also with my present papers, my wife would be attending her visa Interview on Sep 4. Will there be any problem for her at the interview ???
Thanks in Advance

I have heard this before on other forums , too.
I believe, the USCIS CSR confused "unrestricted" SSN with a "restricted" SSN. Most people on some kind of work permit (F1,H1B, EAD) have "Eligible to work with DHS authorization" ( or something similar ) imprinted on their Social Security card ( it certainly is in my social ), and I believe people with GC/USC don't have any such thing written on their SSN ( it's purely a guess by me, I'm yet to see a GC/USC holders SS card ;) ) . So, I don't think people on work permit can work just with DL and SS card ( if they could , why would they have not done until now :confused: ? ) .
But, on the other hand, I'd like to know, if people can continue working on the EAD receipt itself ??

Hello everyone,
Please shed some light on this
I am going to a different Application Support Center than the one in my notice.
I am trying to locate the Application Support Center (ASC) close to where I live. Is there any information about the location of all the ASCs through out the country in the USCIS site?
If no how should I find/locate the nearest ASC to where I live?
The address of the ASC in my notice is in a different place. I want to go to the one that is near to where I live.
Thanks in Advance
