SREE_485
08-13 04:31 PM
My employer asked me to send my 485 application directly to NSC instead of attorney Since there was a wide spread rumor last month( june ) end that USCIS going to accept the applications that are going reach them only on July 2nd and I did exactly the same thing. NSC received my application by July 2 at 7:30am.
I properly signed my set of applications (485,765,131,134,325a,g28) and my wife did the same with her set.
I didn't give attorney info on any of the applications except on G-28 FORM.
BUT there is no attorney signature on G-28 FORM since I filed on my own and Is going to create any problem, I mean is there any possibility that USCIS GOING to reject My application? Your help greatly appreciated.

I got RFE stating that Submit the evidence that the alien obtained the required five years progressive experience in the job offered or the related occupation before, evidence of experience must be in the form of letters from current or former employer giving the name, address and title of the employer and a description of the experience of the alien including specific dates of the employement and specific duties.
I am curious to know did any body got such kind of RFE, what should i do the companies which i have worked for they no longer exist, what should i do, i have the experience letters with me but i donot have the job description mentioned on it.
Please advise. what are the chances of approval of my case.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dhundhun,
I too have the same issue of not getting any RN nor the checks are cashed. Its been a month now. Today I called USCIS and they told me to wait for another month since no one has touched the application yet.
Thanks for this input. I'd call them around 10th of this month.

Situation: approved I-140 (EB-2), getting close to 5th year of H1B.
questions:
1. if i change employers, can I use my priority date even though my employer has not given me a copy of the filed/approved I-140? If i can, what if the old employer cancels the i-140: can I still use the PD from the approved 140?
2. if i start a new gc process with a new company, what stage of my GC should i be in so that my h1 can be extended beyond the 6th year? should the perm be filed or should the 140 be filed before the beginning of 5th year?
3. once h1 is extended beyond the 6th year for say 3 years, can I transfer my h1 to a new employer?
thanks.

I agree with you.
We are apply independently since both of us are in H1B status
I presume that this marriage in foreign country may not be valid because the marriage was neither registered in India nor done according to Foreign Marriage Act, 1969, since both of us are citizen of India at this present time.
However; we are working out with our parents to get married and register in India, but unsure when this will happen.
You�re Thoughts please?
I have no knowledge on this subject so I can't help you out here. As Ramba also said, seek legal help. Also, if getting married is important to you, your partner, and you are sure about your relationship, and if you guys are getting it done in India anyways, why not get a court marriage here ASAP before filing for your I-485.
From a GC perspective, it "might" be better to have one I-485 application with spouse as the beneficiary rather than pursuing two I-485s independently.
Good luck.
Thanks,
Jayant

It's not the "swf" we're concerned with, it's the "fla", and it doesn't just do it with imported Swift3D stuff, but with jpg's and movie's and other imported media.
Try this experiment.
Open a blank Flash project. Save it as an FLA file, and note the file size.
Import a large jpg, then delete it from the stage, and from the library.
Save it again and compare file size again.

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

I have finished my 6 years quota of H1B and right now I am on TN visa (I am Canadian). Since I started the green card process a little late, I still need more time to finish the green card process. So, my question is, is there any way I can go back to H1B visa again once my TN visa expires. I can not renew my TN because I have applied already for I-140 and that shows my intent to immigrate to US.
Thanks
Theo
..but do you want to. Have you not filed your I 485 yet? If you have filed I-485 and it has been pending for 180 days or more, get an EAD (I-765). If your priority date is not current and you have not filed your I-485, you can get a new H1B. With an approved I-140, the 6 year limit does not hold. You can keep on getting H1B renewals, in 3 year extensions, 'til such a time as you can get an EAD or your I-485 is approved. So, yes, its doable, but I would strongly recommned going to EAD, if you can.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, try and renew your TN. It has been wrongly pointed out by one member that I-140 is "not immigrant intent". Well, that is plain "WRONG". It is the I-140 that is the "Immigrant Petition". I-485 is just an application to "adjust your status".

Hi everyone, If you have a H1B visa in your passport valid until Sep. 30 of 2009, but had quit from your old job in Nov. 2008 and are currently out of USA. Is it still possible to transfer your H1B to another employer and return back to USA on the old visa?

Keep both applications going. Yes you would need a physical copy of labor to file the second one. You can later withdraw the first one when your second I-140 with a better priority date is approved. You can also interfile the I485 when your second I-140 is approved (based on your own labor). The only caveat is your priority date must be current when you interfile. Check Pearson Memo on Interfiling.
Do the following:
If you receive physical copy before AUG 17:
1. File I-140/I-485 with your OWN labor before AUG-17.
2. Do not apply for EAD and AP on the second one.
3. Withdraw the first I-485 application when your I-140 on the second one is approved. (This will give you better priority date and no hassle of two applications)
4. You can continue using EAD/AP filed with the first applications.
If you don't receive the physical copy before AUG-17
1. File I-140 whenever you receive the physical copy.
2. In the mean while your current I-140/I485 application based on substituted
labor will be processed as usual.
3. You can receive EAD/AP (Try not to use it though !!)
4. Whenever your second I-140 is approved and your priority date is current interfile the I-485 based on substituted labor with your approved I-140 with better PD.
Good Luck.
My company ( biggie US firm) filed 140 and 485 on a substituted LC on July 2.
Now my own LC which was pending in BEC (and which has better PD) is approved. Can I file 140 on this? Since substitution is risky, I want to use this 140 for my 485 (over the substituted one) ? How do I do that?
Do I need physical copy of my approved LC to file 140?
Replies will be greatly appreciated

Hi all,
This forum is full of smart people. So I want to throw my situation out there to get some advice from all of you. I am into 7th year of my H1 with by labor with PD of Sep 2002. At the rate things are moving, I am running out of patience here.
Things took an interesting turn last week, when a mid sized Software co. is willing to outsource me some of their work. Given the size of the opportunity, I will need to go to India to setup a team of 5 to 6 ppl. The co. is pretty eager and willing to offer some of the finanical guarantees I have asked for.
So my question is, should I take this opportunity and say good bye to GC? Or I should be patient as there may be a need to be in US to grow my outsourcing biz, in case it jump starts well. What would you do if you were presented this opportunity and you had the enterpreurial spirits to pull it off.
I would be eager to see what people say here.

Hi Mandy, and welcome to Dphoto.
The choice of DSLR's is not an easy one.
By all accounts, the Digital Rebel/300D is an excellent camera.
So is the Olympus, as far as I know.
The Canon will give you a greater selection of lenses.
There's also another great choice in the Nikon D70.
Why would one be better than the other? Depends on what you want, really. All of them take good photos.
Canon probably have THE best selection of lenses, all the way from cheap-n-cheerful to expen$ive professional level where a single lens will break your budget several times over. There's also a good selection of other accessories, such as a number of flash-guns, and other bits and pieces.
At $779.95 (after rebate) from B&H Photo (this is not an endorsement), it leaves you with a small lump of money to extend the kit, or spare cash for your trip.
The big advantage on the Nikon D70 compared to Canon would be it's ability to take more fast shots in a row. That would be useful if you're after snapping sports/action shots, but if you just want to take a few shots of beutiful land/streetscapes, your friends/family and the odd young one having a go at baseball, it's not really an advantage as such. There may be some other features that I don't know about, but I would think those differences are minor. On the other hand, it's a little bit out of your budget.
The big advantage on Olympus side is the smaller form-factor for the lenses. I'm pretty sure that Olympus would want it to stay, and it's very unlikely to disappear in the next few years. If anything, it's most likely a forward path, but who knows... I'm pretty sure both Canon and Nikon are watching carefully.
I own the EOS 10D, because I wanted the sports ability, which is slightly better on the 10D compared to the Digital Rebel. But I was locked into Canon from owning a fair amount of lenses that would cost MUCH more than the cost of the camera body to replace. I've been "collecting" those lenses for some time. And to sell used lenses to buy similar ones from another brand gets pretty expensive, so once you've selected a brand, you need a much bigger advantage from another brand to switch.
That doesn't apply when the photographer gets paid for the pictures taken, especially since the equipment in this case often gets quite a bit of (accidental) abuse, and needs replacing with much shorter intervals than the amateurs would anyway. This is why Canon pretty much won overnight on the transition to Autofocus. Canon had a better solution than Nikon, but they also "forced" a change of lenses. The professionals jumped on the Canon system because it gave them a small advantage of getting a better shot, even if they used to have a Nikon before they changed over].
Anyway, I'm not sure this is much help, but perhaps gives you a few pointers in the right direction.
Also, I would advice that you get the camera at least a few weeks before you go on vacation, so that you can get used to the camera.

I was told if you have valid stamping you do not need get new stamping even if you changed the employer. All you need is to give the new approval notice at the POE.
am I missing somthing here.
That is true, and I know a lot of people who did that including my wife in 2006.

I just came back this afternoon (1:30 PM EST) via Dubai...Atlanta..from Chennai.. Just showed AP document and passport.. no questions asked...
Airline just verified AP at Chennai and Dubai to ensure I travel with valid documentation to USA.
sanjay02: Dependents may need to produce Primary Applicant's 485 receipt just incase they ask.. Not sure if it really matters as there is no primary or dependent on AP document mentioned.
Hope this helps!
I just wanted to confirm that it is ok to travel on AP via Dubai from Emirates without H1B stamp. Has anyone done this recently and can you share your experience? Thanks.
