Looks like there is a huge backlog of perm applications. I am not sure if they will look at your application anytime soon. If your application is pending more than a year at least you could apply for extension of H1.

It will be delusional on our part to think that perm applications will have an easy approvals.

Stuggling to get a PERM approval since JUN 07. For a moment if i just forget about this PERM, What are the chances that my H1b Extension will be approved without any problem? My situation is I have completed 5 years and 4 months on H1b. My visa expires Mar 2010 and my 6 yrs term expires in NOV 2010, out of USA stay of only one month. I switched only one employer after coming to US. With the new employer since Mar 07. Will there be any problem with H1b Extension till OCT 2010

Thanks,
R.

Hi ,
Does it impact I140 processing if i am outside US and worked with same employer in India ?
I have left for india assignment after concurrent filing (I 485 + I 140)
for 4 weeks and joined back in US for different assignment last year after July filings.
But i have maintained my old residence status and applied for change of address when i came on different assignment and loaction in US.

Has any one experienced similar situation ?
Does on US payroll becoming inactive for some duration ( in my case 4 weeks) make the I40 processing questionable ?
Can anyone advise ?

Thanks in advance,

Vin69

You have to go through the same process as a New H1B and it stamped in INDIA again and also get in touch with your new employer he should be able to give you the info you need. Their is no new form to be filled in.

Greetings everyone.
I ran into these forums few days ago and realized what I have been missing for the past few years :-). Anyway, my GC priority date is Nov 2005 under EB2 (India). I am very GC-illiterate in the sense that after actively tracking and monitoring it for a year or so after filing for labor, I kind of gave up on the fact that I was going to get GC anytime soon and moved on. Except for replying to lawyer's emails whenever I get them, I didn't really monitor anything else. Anyway, here is some additional information -
1) I applied along with everyone else in July 2007 for I-485 and got my EAD.
2) I went for VISA stamping in Hyderabad in Nov 2009 and got 221(g) (I had all the documents but you know how 221(g)s were given out at Hyd like M&Ms at that time) and upon lawyer's recommendation entered the country through AP.
3) A part of my company was recently acquired by a different very large MNC and I chose to remain in the other half which wasn't acquired and we chose to do business as (DBA) as a different company. Lawyer said she took care of it on the GC app - I am guessing she filed for AC-21.
4) I currently applied for a EAD (current one expires in couple of months) and AP.

Long story short, my app status currently shows, "post-decision activity" -->Does it mean they already took the decision? Is there a chance something could go wrong in the next few weeks? I called the lawyer's office yesterday and they said I should hear from them in the first week of August and if the app status doesn't change, they will open a SR on my behalf around Aug 10th...

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!

option 3 as far as I know. You only renew the 6 year term if you are out of the US more than a year. And once you switch to a different visa category, your previous one does not matter for the cap. Its only if you are transferring from an existing H1B or renewing an existing H1B that the cap doesn't come into the picture.

Is it true that H4 spouse, who do not have SSN are not eligible for tax rebate if while filing a joint tax return for 2007 ITIN is used for spouse.

It seems ITIN is given to illegal aliens too and hence it is not possible for IRS to determine which ITIN holders are legal and which are illegal. Thus they are not going to give tax rebates to ITIN holders.

My wife is on H4 and has a EAD/AP. Should I apply for SSN to receive the tax rebates? But since the tax rebates are based on 2007 tax return I will have to file the tax return using her SSN to get the rebates.

Also will SSN affect her H4 status if EAD is not used?

What do you guys think?

We recently filed I485 for my K1 wife and got a RFE explaining that the I693 she handed over at the port of entry never made it to CIS. I presume it was lost at some point.

Because we already had the I693 on file due to her entry, we only filed I693A with our I485. However they never got the I693, so the RFE requests a new one from an approved Civil Surgeon.

However.. my wife is lucky enough to have another sealed envelope from her overseas examination with (we believe) her I693 + Xray in it.

Does anyone think I should chance sending this to USCIS ? Or would it be best to just pay for another examination and get a new I693?

One thing that makes me question the wisdom of sending in the overseas package is that the envelope is huge - bigger than 11"x17" at least - so I'm not sure how well it would survive mailing and/or be accepted.

Yep. Fill flash would have helped . It would have brought more color in the beak and taken care of the shadowey front as well as bringing out more of the texture.

Hello,
I am trying to figure out if it is possible to sponsor (legal sponsorship support letter) my cousin back in India who is trying for higher studies in Canada (the letter to be shown to the Canada consulate). I am an Indian on H1B in US with Perm just filed.

I heard that being a resident alien myself (as opposed to permanent resident) I cannot sponsor him? Is that true?

If I can in fact sponsor him -- will that have any affect/complication whatsoever on my (i) Perm (ii) Tax application etc etc?

He is an 18 yr old Indian.

Thanks a lot for any advice!

When I went to my county health dept to get vaccination shots (for medical exam), they asked me to see the civil surgeon first, "else you will pay lot more for shots that you do not need". I gave them the standard list (MMR, Polio, DTaP, Influenza type B, Hepatitis B), and there are a few more in (page 3 of) I-693 form (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-693.pdf). Someone on this thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5553) (second-last post) says you may need a shorter list based on your age group. Did anyone recently take these shots, and can she/he give the correct list here?
Thanks.

Hi,

My Company recently started Perm process and posted ads in newspaper and jobsites. We have recieved couple of resumes. One of the resume meets almost all requirements, but doesn't have enough experiance in one skill set and also doesn't have required Bachelors Degree in MIS or Computer Science or EEE.

Can we reject the candidate saying, doesn't have required bachelors Degree in above mentioned 3 fields, and not having enough experiance in one of the specified skill set?

And also do we need to do interview candidates before rejecting?

Thanks..

Are you VP or HR person or interviewer? Why do you care about these things?
If you are not employer, your company will take care of these things.Did they ask you to help them in this regard??

My company applied for my L1B petition in 2007 which was approved and I got an L1 visa in Mar 2007 which was valid until Aug 2009. However I traveled to the U.S only in December 2008. Since my L1 visa was expiring by Aug I applied for a L1 extension in May 2009. This was rejected in August due to some confusion with the I-94. So I had to travel back to India in Aug 2009.

I then applied for a fresh L1 visa based on my company's L1 Blanket petition. I got this new L1 visa in Sep 2009 and returned back to the U.S. This new visa is valid until Sep 2011.

My question is can I apply for another L1 extension?

Will my visa duration or stay duration be considered when applying for another extension?
I have stayed in the U.S on L1 status only from Dec 2008 - Am I not allowed 5 years?

Also I am not sure whether I have exhausted my quota of extensions. Will my case be considered as 2.5 years the first time and 2 years extension the second time?
Or will the Blanket visa be considered a fresh start allowing me another extension?

Also what will happen if I transfer to H1 at this point of time ... will my L1 stay duration or my L1 visa duration be considered when deciding the H1 visa validity?

Please help with some answers...

Media Drive - not even 9000 diggs from US!!??

There's a thread on media coverage which also states that we can get a lot of coverage amongst people via Digg.com.

What is digg and how it works- (wikipedia)
Readers can view all of the stories that have been submitted by fellow users in the "digg/News/Upcoming" section of the site. Once a story has received enough "diggs", it appears on Digg's front page. Should the story not receive enough diggs, or if enough users report a problem with the submission, the story will remain in the "digg all" area, where it may eventually be removed.


The highest rated digg in last 7 days (with 8632 hits / diggs) is that of a iphone. Our issue could not even beat the new iphone release. Immigrationvoice has about 14893 members, 7939 active members. If each member does a digg for himself and other one for spouse, we should have atleast 14000 digg to keep our write ups LIVE, in the minds of all the people visiting this page.
