Not anymore...
EB2 India followed by EB3 India. If we take this "sampling" of information with a mild grain of salt, then it still does tally up with the distribution of the retrogressed dates. EB2 IN is U, EB3 IN is mid April. EB3 RoW is further along down the line.. not many illegals coming under RoW.
Manny, in your next poll you might want to atleast get the 2002 & before, 2003, 2004 2005, 2006+ PD distribution of EB2 India and 01Apr2001-30Apr2001, rest of EB3 India. I think once those 245(i) illegal buttplugs are out of the way, EB3 IN should move at a good pace. But that may not happen until 2012-2014.

Hello Guys,
I have E-Filed for EAD renew on jne 27th and have sent all the supporting documents the following day. But on Aug 6th recieved an RFE for the photos I haven't sent along with the documents and asked me submit 2 color passport photos. It was my understading that I don't have to send the photos while E-filing since they will be taken at the bio-metric appt. I am done with my bio-metric appt. Do i need to contact USCIS about this or is there any thing you guys can suggest me.
Regards
Vijay
p.s I have already responded to the RFE with 2 color photos.

you should use another attorney. How can you go to your employer's attonery(even though he represents you) and ask about taking another job?. Its same as asking your employer.:eek:
Thanks for your response. I actually work for a community mental health agency that does not have an attorney. The attorney I am working with is someone I found on my own with no ties to my company until I asked that she represent me in my green card process.

Yes, most of the states are going to implement it. It is allready existing in P.A. and I know atleast 2 people who's friends picks/drops them to work. It's a shame, living in this country for 6 years and suddenly your DL is snatched away. Getting 3 years H1B extensions in all circumstances is on of our main agenda at iv.org please see our brochure in resources section. This will solve atleast some part of the problem.

I had written senator Feinstein about retrogression sometime last year. A response came 2 weeks later:
"As of today federal healthcare is available to undocumented immigrants only in cases of emergencies. Undocumented immigranst are a drain on federal resources. Blah blah blah........." Bull ****
True Feinstein seems to be least sensitive to immigrant woes. Her husband is a rich investment banker so I guess she is more business friendly rather than grassroots friendly.
Senator Boxer had replied
" I believe every citizen should have a say in the country. I value your opinion and can assure you that it will be taken into consideration during my work in the senate on this topic"
Much more polished. However it seems these are stereotype responses and I think senators do not read these emails. This is a sophisticated way of saying "Dont lecture me.... Mind your own business" This is how in America...
That's certainly a lot better than the "spam" i got from Senator Feinstein.
I just got some *#&$ about thanking me for supporting her blue card and AgJOBS initiatives, with not a mention on tackling retrogression issues.
Hardly a huge surprise, but I'm writing back

yes, u need to inform them of every small move u make, all ur life. this holds true even after ur us citizenship is approved.
Friends, I would like to know if I change job after I-140 & I-485 approval, do I still need to notify USCIS about AC-21. Also, will it require my new employer to provide a letter of job duties to confirm that the new job is either same or similar to the old one.
Thanks

My spouse's employer will apply for her H1B shortly (she is on F1 right now). Her passport expires in March 2007 but the Indian consulate does not allow you for a renewal earlier than 6 months of the expiration date.
Does USCIS have any requirements for validity dates for passport when application for H1B is sent?
I think USCIS will allow you to file for her H-1. BTW the H-1 quota is over for FY2007 - http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1039
However if your wife has a Masters degree from the US she might still be able to apply.

Correct me if I am wrong.
They started premium processing for I140 so that they could stop parallel filing of 140 and 485.
Just wondering if anybody ever complains of I140 being slow? :p

I don't know why they keep whining about bringing more H1s when they cannot provide for the ones already here? Even a layman would agree that more H1s without corresponding legislations to fix broken GC system would add fuel to the fire.
Or is it what someone in this forum suggested - they want to bring cheaper younger people to replace the old ones after 6 years?

I came back to US on Mar 30 2008 using advance parole. The officer wrote on I-94 , paroled until Mar 29, 2008 (I am assuming its an oversight).
I didnt detect the oversight till yesterday. What my current status and what actions should I take to rectify the error.
I am still working for my employer that sponsored the H1B which is valid till Feb 2009, although the stamp on the passport was valid only till Feb 2008
Thanks

USCIS refuses to give this data to anybody. They are not willing to give any break up.
The sky will fall down if they do that

Can this thread be made sticky please OR moved to the top of the main page so that over time we can get some estimate of correct numbers?
Thanks in advance,

You need an I-140 approval notice. If not, type in the receipt no on USCIS website and obtain the status update which will state that the petition is approved, and see if they accept it. I can't guarantee that that they will accept it., but I have used it in the past in another scenario (MTR) and they have accepted it.

Hi Nair/Perm,
I am not a returning US resident.
One of the companies sponsored my H1B and I am trying to get the visa stamped in India.
I got the wage report from the company but not the "Unemployment" wage report, so I am confused.
Any help about the document would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot for all your help.
Have a nice time!
Thanks & Regards,
Chak
i know you are not in US.You cannot get the unemployment report yourself directly.You ask the company who sponsored the visa.They will get thru the attorney.
check this : http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/article.asp?ARTICLEID=572&PAGEID=67&SUBID=113

Do you have any source on this....I also had to amend my H1B last month. Its done without any issues..
My lawyer informed this. They instructed me not to travel while extension is pending. In case you have to travel, they suggest to do the extension after return back. I don't have any source for this information.
But it makes sense isn't it. Your extension is the extension of your last I94, however if you travelled after application, your extension have different i94 number and your recent i94 has different number. Just my opinion.

Ask them what the exact restriction is. It could be something as simple as needing a copy of your driver's license.
This is probably somebody at the plan administrator who doesn't have the foggiest idea about US immigration law.

Just wanted to share our 7th year H-1B extension stamping in Chennai on July 15th. Since my I-140 was approved, the I-797 petition was approved for 3 years. My family (wife and daughter) attended the interview along with me. The procedure for H-1B extension/renewal is much easier in Chennai compared to first time stampers. There is a separate counter for renewals and the interview procedure is quite simple. After the initial screening of documents, we went to a separate renewal counter which did not have any queue.
The VO just asked some questions about my nature of the job and how long I have been with my company. FYI, my company is a major reputed IT Foreign MNC. My family was not asked any questions. We did not have any PIMS delays and I got the passport couriered the very next day itself. The petition was approved a month before the stamping. Overall it is a much streamlined process for H-1B visa extensions/renewals.
Thanks MP70

Hi there,
I need your advise - have an issue with travel back to the US.
My wife is in India, her AP is expired and she needs to travel back to the US. I am working on an EAD, changed employers and could not transfer my old H-1 (H1 was valid until 06/09 - she has a H4 stamp in her passport valid until the same time). Given there is no H1/H4 or AP available to her now, how can one go about getting either AP reinstated (I know it says one cannot apply for AP when out of the country) or some other status for being able to travel back. We do have a child (US citizen) also in India with her.
I am trying to get advise from an immigration attorney as well but would like to hear from folks here if they have had to deal with this issue and if so what is the best way to deal with it.
Before someone shoots me for asking this question let me make it clear that I have been aware that she should have come back before her AP expired and one cannot renew AP while out of the country and this puts her GC application at risk (abandonement) - there were some factors involved here that were not in my control and therefore we have landed up in this messy situation.
I would really appreaciate any advise you can provide to my query. Thanks!
Sorry to know about your situation....
Since you are not on h1b , she is not on h4, so question of coming back on h4 with AP is not there.
This is very tricky, there is only one solution.
You can apply for AP from outside USA only if on emergency humanitarian situations. Look at Form I-131, there is an option to apply from outside USA.
Look at part one of the I-131 document and talk to your attorney if you can show such a need for an emergency humaitarian situation.
If you had already known about this, why did you make the mistake of sending her abroad....
