DOS and USCIS are slow. But it would be really helpful if the IV code team can provide some update on our site. I believe over 2.5 hours have passed since the last update regarding some update in 1 hour. I guess we can't do anything if it takes more time but an update always helps! Thank you.
given that u have just joined the group, let me say welcome aboard...
u made a wise decision to join this effort.. however regretfully I beg to defer , for you to be too quick to ask questions or updates and be more patient..
please aks yourself..what did u do for IV....what can u expect...
if u are a very active member and did contribute to IV, please accept my apologies

You have a valid point but in worst case scenario, can i use the EAD and handle the RFE at the time of citizen ship... is the RFE during approval of GC or during citizen ship ?
You won't get an RFE during approval of GC since you are legally here all the time due to AOS but your wife will get it when you file for her GC since she would be out of status all this time.

:D Nice find. Does it really say where he is from or where the wife has to go in case of the husband being laid off in 4 months time? It just says the person was born in India. I really dont want to extend this...please stop responding.
Read line 2 of this thread, OP says he is EB3-India , so why should he not send his wife to India ??

Is the PD for AOS same than Consular Processing??
I'm asking because is supposed that they assign visas per country or not assign but is a limit of maximum 7% (I believe) of the visas per country.
So, if a person in EB3 with PD of July 2005 ROW (Rest of the World) applied for AOS in June 2007 and the USCIS approved the Green Card, why is that?
The PD is not current for EB3 ROW so, why the approved?
Is because the unused visas of the country was not completely used for consular processing and then the USCIS is using those visas for the same country but for AOS?
I don't understand why applications that are not current are getting GC approvals?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am working in US on L1 and my company would start my green card filling in next few months.
I also have valid H1B pettion stamped and can switch to H1B which would mean that I can work freely here at US.
But many of my friends told me that green card processing is faster on L1.
I am not able to make decision whether I should continue working on L1 or change my status to H1 to get better hike and more opportunity.
Pls can anyone tell me which would be wise choice. Is green card processing for L1 visa is faster?
Thanks in advance.

GC in L1 is not faster than H1. Its just that L1-As are typically multinational managers who qualify for EB1, and H1s typically are engineers/worker-bees who qualify for the longer EB2/EB3 Process. So first find out what your category is going to be, EB1 or one of the other two.
If you qualify for EB1, your GC process will be fast (~6 months), if its EB2 or EB3, hunker down for a long (5?10 years?) wait. This is irrespective of whether you are in L1 Or H1.
advantages of H1
- can be extended indefinately past 6 years in 1-3 year increments; once you have a GC going (LC >365 days old or I-140 approved).
- can change employers in the US.
advantages of L1
- if your spouse is on L2, he/she can get an EAD and work.
so main issues with your current status of L1:
- If you have not filed your 485 within your L1 time, you need to change status to something else or return to home country. You cant get the extensions that you can get with H1.
- if you lose your job, if you already had an H1 In the past you can move to that status, otherwise you need to go to home country and then get lucky in next years lottery.
- there are no salary restrictions, so the employer can potentially legally underpay you. With H1 you must atleast be paid the prevailing wage.
So unless you have a spouse that is currently on an L2-EAD, I would think moving to H1 makes more sense. (time in L1 counts agianst your time for H1 and vice-versa)

I am curious to know on what basis was your case approved? maybe it was USCIS mistake? Like I wrote before we sent my case twice with the bright colored paper and to a supervisor and twice they said it had the incorrect fees (originally) and then that there where no numbers available and to wait to PD to be current.
What I heard is that only if THEY make a mistake the 485 gets approved. Also if the check bounces, other than that I have been there and done that and nothing.

Hi,
My wife is on an H4 and we're planning to change her status to F1.
Now my H1, thus her H4 is up for renewal soon (I have another 3 yrs on my H1).
I will very soon be transferring my H1 to a new company.
I am worried about the implications this might have on the H4 to F1 transfer.
1] When my new company transfers the H1, will they also file for renewal? Or will they only transfer and later renew seperately.
2] Assuming that we change the current H4 to F1, then will we have to renew the F1 too when my wife's H4 is transferred (due to my H1 transfer).
3] Is it better to transfer to F1 from the current H4 , or wait for the new H4 for the transfer.
All advice/suggestion would be really appreciated.

Hi Guru's
My I140 filed in EB3 was denied yesterday for not having Mathematics as majors.
RFE was according to ETA 750 client accepts 3 years foreign degree please provide your transcripts to prove you have taken courses in maths, we though this was a simple query.
But I have Maths as major subject in my 3 year degree, we sent Letter signed by Registrar of Osmania University India on Math syllabus for my Degree and educational evaluation saying that Math is equivalent to maths in US Bachelors degree and also the transcripts with math highlighted.
But surprised to see this denial letter.
My attorney is confident that we would win the case if we appeal against the decision
what are my alternatives now and how long is it taking now to process this appeal.

"Since the beginning of this fiscal year (October 2008), USCIS has adjudicated over 75,000 employer petitions, reducing the pending caseload of petitions to under 55,000.USCIS� goal is to have adjudicated all the older employer petitions, and to be processing newer petitions within 4 months, by the end of September 2009"
Good find! I have never seen such a thorough explanation about the EB process backlog/delay from USCIS. Something has definitely changed after our ex governor Janet Napolitano became the DHS secretary.

This is the kind of transparency people are looking for. USCIS does publish statisics too. Hoping that they take all this data & propose legislation and or administrative solutions to address bottleneck issues.

Ok maybe there are another forum but I can find you. My CPAS says we are going to receive the stimulus (it is not a rebate) but the IRS website says that if we are non-resident alen we won't. According with IRS only when you get GC you will be concider resident?????? It is true?????
A: You won�t get a stimulus payment in 2008, if any of the following apply to you:
You don�t file a 2007 tax return.
Your net income tax liability is zero and your qualifying income is less than $3,000. To determine your qualifying income, add together your wages, net self-employment income, nontaxable combat pay, Social Security benefits, certain Railroad Retirement benefits and certain veterans� payments.
You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else�s return. For example, this would include a child or student who can be claimed on a parent�s return.
You do not have a valid Social Security Number.
You are a nonresident alien.
You file Form 1040NR or Form 1040NR-EZ, Form 1040PR or Form 1040SS for 2007.

You dont need to pay the fees, as it is USCIS mistake - Send the new application form with a cover letter, you can send it yourself.
Now my Lawyer is advising me to include the old fees and a new application with a letter stating motion to refile seeking correction. He is insisting on us to send the fees ($350) again. Any suggestions? Can I send it directly to INS?

Welcome to IV, since this is your first post.
1. when is your PD?
If your PD is nov 2008, it would take a long time (many many years) to get your GC.
I am not able to understand anything from your post. If you have a H1b you need to work in US and not in India. You can travel with H1 visa don't need B1 visa. Your W2 has 38K that means its less than the prevailing wage. You have a problem there?
If you are in US, Please be active in this website as well as find your state chapter. You can get helped from your state chapter collegues too. By the way, from where are you residing(which state i mean)?
(your questions does not look normal)

Hi Folks
1 ) I just read that EB2 has retrogressed to 2000.Now IF I ALREADY FOR 140 APPROVED AND IF I GOT EAD ALREADY does that Labor filing priority date apply to GC too ?
2) I got EAD and I am waiting for my GC.My 140 Is also approved .
I filed under EB2 and I got AP and EAD Card Nov 2008. Since then I am getting all paystubs ( from Aug 08) from the sponsoring employer. I left this employer in 2006 and joined him back in Jan 2008.
I believe I applied via NE Processing Center.
How long before I get my GC.
3) From Nov 2006 to Jan 08 working in India and come to US on B1 and returned back to India. Jan 08 continued with same employer.Would this cause problems with my GC.
What about the FBI name check thing - is that going to cause delays
4) BY W2 SALARY IN 2008 IS ONLY SOME 38K AS , I WORKED AUG 08 ONWARDS ONLY. BUT JAN 09 ONWARDS I AM ON PROJECT GETTING FULL SALARY.
CAN U PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS TOO WILL FACTOR MY GC .
MANY MANY MANY THANKS.

This is under ideal conditions. How many 485 has complications and how many are not arranged properly. They have to consider everything. Just to get the papers right for review might take several hours. In between, they may be called for meeting, smoke break, tea break. So give them some slack. Two applications per day is good enough work for an employee considering each app has one or two dependends.
Last but not least, the ex-director or USCIS is an anti-immigrant and was member of an active anti-immigrant group. Now you go and figure how USCIS will work. Even if numbersusa is good enough to take 10% of USCIS into their org, we are screwd and they are doing it already.

What a foresight�
Corporations save more than 10K.. It doesn't work..
Average cost of employment in US for high tech is around 90$ per hour and social security
percentage is 6%, So the max is less than 10K per year or less than 0.5 USD per hour.
These companies actually pay far less than 90$ for offshore resources..
Since it really doesn't work, it has high chances of passage into bill :rolleyes: and president will promptly sign it before this session recesses.. :cool:
It will also be passed in an unanimous consent by both parties..
