my employment is terminated a month ago. I still need to file h1 transfer to the GC sponser. I am single
I am told that H1 can be transferred only with in 10 days-20 days or so. which means that it is already a month. so in case if I dont get the h1 or if I have an issue in the H1 transfer, is that the end of my being H1.
If I were to be on H1 again is it going to come under the cap along with those new H1 filers? I still have one and half years to complete 6 years.
I have a fall back to EAD though based an approved 140 and 180 days past 485.
But how do I get the spouse then???
Do H1 transfer (Premium processing) ASAP with AC21(similar job) and you should be in a good shape..

Looks like you got angry.Everybody knows H1 requirements as much as you do.Do you think are the only one who is smart in this world.I don't think so.
Thanks for sharing your "2 cents" opinion. I understand this is coming from a person who used the term slave for his H-1 job condition.
You haven't answer me the question"What if your H1 is denied once you started working with out its approval" which I replied in your first post.
If H-1B is denied, then you are out of luck. For that reason, I have mentioned that file H-1B premium, and join the new job after H-1B approval and you will have "peace of mind" in that case.
Also you have replied me that H1B is not for speculative job.If it is true then what is the need of H1 Change of employer.Can you inform USCIS to remove this option.
Read for yourself and get en-lighted.

[From the pdf link]
...to ensure that alien beneficiaries accorded H status have an actual job offer and are not coming to the United States for speculative employment.
When your H1 got approved first time the same USCIS verified your Educational certificates.Why they want to do the same verification again and again?
It is more than just educational qualification. The job has to be specialty occupation and employer has to define job duties in detail. Each H-1B petition is treated independently.
I advice you to read [dot com] articles which sometimes point out that USCIS document were not clear
Lawyers are entitled to opinion as well, just like anybody else. After all they are running business. FYI, I am not on visa anymore.

If you enter on AP, but have a valid H1 extension approval to xx date, and the xx date approaches and you are working for only the original H-1 employer maintaining ALL the conditions of H-1, you can request an extension of H1 status and if all is ok and it will be granted and you will get back on H1B non-immigrant status. But until such time, one is not considered in H1 non-immigrant status but "adjustee of status," which is NOT any non-immigrant status.

Great topic. wating one more year would mean 12 more months of rent. so even if the house depreciates it would break even considering the lost rent. This is just my opinion assuming that the depreciation would be less than 5-10% till next summer. Experts please list out the hidden costs involved in mortgage for new home buyers to be careful about.

Hi,
I'm sorry if this question sounds trivial, what is LUD? My FP was done on Sep 19 and I checked the uscis website today using my i-485 receipt #. I don't see any update. Please let me know.
You have to create an online account to get updates on you application. You will see LUD and there is the date everybody is looking for. You can also receive email if take the option.
You will not see LUD if you just put in your recipt number to check status of the case.

I think the new name check change, will help the system work FIFO.
This is what the system is intended to do.
Also, as time goes by, this will make the PD more transparent, so instead of having dreams and making wild guesses, there can be somewhat logical guessing.
I know it is not possible as it is USCIS and anything can be true.
But i am really happy for people with older PD's who have been struck with FBI Name checks.
Please help IV with the letter campaign and also lets get together and try to make the system more transparent and open.
GO IV GO. TOGTHER WE CAN.

You guys all are excellent. I never thought that this thread would grow as much as it did.
To Admin: Please start seperate thread for each consulate, where people can share their experiences and ask specific questions.
Now coming back to my question. My labor is approved and I-140 is pending.
I have declared that my employer is applying for my GC.
Should i carry documents proving that my I-140 is pending and that labor is approved?
My 6th year H1-B will be expiring in Aug 31 2007 and i have valid I-797 approved upto that date. I know i can get 3 years extension anytime with approved I-140 or atleast 1 year H1-B extension.
Will that be a problem at all? I am asking this because, the numbe rof months for which stamping will be valid will be just few months.
Thanks again for wonderful answers.
--sri
I got my visa stamped in june 2006 and expiry was august 2007. Usually your employer will never give you any Lc or I140 approval docs. Good luck trying to get those :). They dont ask for any docs related to permanent residency as long as you have a valid 1797A.

[QUOTE=austingc;1967464][[I]QUOTE=sammas;1967354]Probably the RFE might be related to photos not being sent. A friend of mine received a RFE for not sending the photos eventhough they are not required to be sent but he did not get any Biometrics notice.
Austingc,
What do you mean by lost in the email? What are you referring to here? I am sorry, I did not get what you are trying to mention here.
The RFE was to send the photographs. Online status also was changed to Request For Evidence and then once the photos were sent the status was changed back to resumed processing and after that the status was changed to Approved. Hope it is clear now.
Didn't you mention your friend did not receive biometrics notice? What I meant was he might not have received the biometrics notice to appear for finger print and photos. Thatswhy I said may be lost in the mail, since he did not appear for biometrics, USCIS issued an RFE to send photographs. Are you clear now?

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Is LLC corp employer eligible to do H-1 transfer? I have an American citizen friend who has a LLC corp and work as an independent contractor. Can he file for my H-1 transfer and can I work for him?
His annual income is about 150 to 200K. I think he takes about 100K as salary and rest as company profit.
I have my 140 approved and 485 pending (>180 days).
Any potential risks with this approach?
Thanks in advance!
If he's the only employee, CIS might scrutinize the application for Ability 2 Pay issue. I know friends who've gotten a successful H1 approval from companies with only 4 employees. However, CIS looks into the case in depth if a company is very small.

Ganguteli,
If you can help our friend who is stressed, thats great. If you cant, this is no time for "you should have come to us earlier" moment. Ridiculing a guy who has just come to this forum is not going to help you get over your GC frustration.
***
Dont stress out buddy. You might have to make tough decisions..like move back to India, Canada...UK immigrants are going through a tough time...... You still have 9 months to either get your employer to apply Labor or find another job that does.......If you cant..its not the end of the world....Enjoy your time here...start applying in India..... For any other questions do come back to this forum again.....Almost everyone is very helpful, non-judgemental & friendly.
You are undergoing what a lot of H1Bs go through.
They do not care about greencard on H1B thinking that it will come whenver the company applies until it is too late. They enjoy the first 3 years of H1B enjoying America and dollars and do not bother about IV or advocacy or contributing money to IV. I have seen such people even telling others it is a waste of time and making fun of IV. After 3 years they renew H1B thinking that they still have 3 more years. But once 6 years are about to expire they worry that they will have to leave US of A and the land of opportunities. It is at that time they try to start greencard process and check out IV. These same people then start contributing to IV and take this effort seriously.
You still have time of 1 year and 9 months and that is good enough to get your labor through. Good luck and hope you find help from people here.

I agree with Bob here, as I've shot with both Nikon D1's and F5's from back in the day, to the latest stuff. I've done the same with Canon through the 90's and the current crop.
I feel like Canon has the upper hand on Nikon currently in both bodies and lenses.
Bob did label his opinion, most likely without thinking about it -- with the IMHO, to avoid attacks as such. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and none of us can 100% say that Canon lenses are better than Nikons.. No one here does bench tests, price comparisions, etc.. It's just field use and preference that determines this.
Back into your corner's fighters! Let's argue about sports or hot women before we waste our time on the merits of macro lenses!
Back to the topic at hand.. I think the Nikon is probably her best bet because of the build quality and apparently the kit lens is pretty damn good. You can pick up the D70 w/o the kit lens for $999 MSRP, which is only $100 over MSRP the 300D. So maybe the first question is, decide if either kit lens is fine for you. Then determine the build quality, and lastly determine which lens system you might want to grow into.
I don't think you can make a bad decision either brand you go with. We can all be happy with that. Competition is good.
-- Matt
Thank you Matt. Must have been a misinterpretation of what I said or how I said it. I also said to Janey that the D70 would be a great choice.
and my opinions, for sure, are only humble and only biased to my own degree of using both mfrg's equipment.
If I wanted such references that were bestowed upon me, I could have easily stayed at "that other site" where one can always pick up an insult or two in a matter of minutes. "Dejavou' ...all over again." (sp?)

Optimystic -- is your PD current?
yes
IF you have a current PD RIGHT NOW...AND submitted your I-485 on or before June-July 2007... AND have an approved I-140
I-485 submitted in last week of July 07. I 140 filed in premium processing and approved in Jan 07.
(i) they are sweeping through all the files to find such files because if you filed your application in June-July 2007, 180 days have likely passed since your name check was submitted to the FBI. Name check request are made within weeks of generating a receipt for you.
(ii) they plan to complete this sweep by March 10; UNLESS visas run out, they plan to process such cases in approx 60 days (hah! like I believe them).
(iii) within the set of applications with current PDs, they apparently process in order of RD. Not sure if this is within the EB preference and current PD or across all EB preferences.
If what you say holds true then thats good news for me personally! But I would be curious on the process used by USCIS to dig out all applications that have current PD in march, and then sort them based on application receipt date and process all these within 60 days. I am hoping (or rather praying !) that the fact that they have entered our data into computers allows them to apply some simple sorting logic to CORRECTLY arrive at a subset of qualified cases to be opened up come 1st of March. Now the geographical distribution of cases across service centers, the huge mess during the July fiasco, and cases of people still waiting for their FP appts even now, doesn't give you too much confidence in their systems and processes. But, hey, guess I might be getting too pessimistic here and going against the spirit of own handle name :). Waited for 7 years. Whats couple more months or even a bit longer for that matter !
(iv) Some cases are approved without any changes in LUD i.e. that amazing email arrives before without any prior LUD changes.
IF you don't have a current PD, I have nothing to say except best of luck to all of us...the situation is pretty grim. The movement of EB-3 ROW will mop up most of the green cards left this year.
Thanks much for your insights.

for_gc,
once bill becomes law, USCIS will have to implement it immediately, else they will be breaking the law. there probably is a way for them to go to court and ask for more time by citing administrative delays.
