Welcome Ron Hira.
I know, you are strict opponent of Employment base immigration. I know, your basic concern for the abuse of H1B system by some people but don't you think huge backlog for Employment based green card is a genuine problem to address separately. Why are you covering H1B abuse issue with Employment based green card? A person born in Indian get more than 10 years to get GC and same caliber person born few miles away in Pakistan or Bangladesh get GC in 1 year!!! Both person have same look, same culture, speak same language. Is it cultural diversity??
Lets have some negotiation fix genuine loophole in H1B system to prevent abuse and address genuine problem of Employment based GC backlog. If we keep fighting, neither one is going to be fix. Please have your thought.
This not the real Ron-the-Loser, it's Ron-the-impersonator. But you do have a good point.

Hello IVans,
Does anyone feel the same? any thoughts?
But only because they know everybody will be frustrated with the wait & opt for PP - Another clever manipulation IMHO.

The government published pay that an LCA is evaluated against is usually lesser than the actual pay for that type of job in a region.
If your LCA was filed with a salary that is right on the number, you would be in trouble.
If there is wiggle room, you ought to be OK as long as the new salary is still more than the published LCA.
We are all used to getting raises and bonuses at the end of the year.
But these are very bad times; some cuts at this time are a harsh reality for businesses. But I think it is better for everyone in the company to take a small $ pay cut if it saves others within the company their job.
If your employer is only cutting your salary, that is a bad situation to be in. You should try and get out of there ASAP.
But if it is across the board, more than likely they will restore as soon as things get better.

Remember not all job classification qualify for EB2, especially software related, check O*Net and then in this economy employer need to test the market and prove that he couldn't find a qualified american worker! Unless it's specialized skill i don't think it's easy!
If Priority date is usable even though I-140 revoked by the employer......this looks fantastic option to join new job where we can get Eb2 process.

Whether the IO at Port of Entry asked anything about your H1B Visa Stamp?
My H1B visa stamping application finally got approved after 2 months at the Mumbai consulate. But I travelled back on the AP a month back as my employer started getting impatient.
I have received an email from them asking to submit the passport for stamping as the administrative processing on the application is completed.
I am planning to write back to them that I no longer need a visa stamp for travel as I travelled back on the AP. Would this be a bad idea ?
Has anyone withdrawn their H1B visa stamping application before ?
Appreciate any information on this.

but in this case the H1b stamp on my passport is still valid and not expired.
i am entering on nov 11th. stamp expires on december 1. why i am worried is just because the stamp is still of old employer whereas 797 is of new employer.
port of entry may ask me why didnt i get the stamp again when it is just expiring after 20 days ?? U know....

It happened for my son's application. I did not even have a copy of the check at that time. I resent it with a new check (after retrogression set in) saying that it was their mistake. They sent it back along with the new check again saying no visa is available on the date of submission. Then I read some where in immigration-law website you need to mark it to certain officer (I do not remember exact wordings - check immigration-law archives around sep 2005). I re-sent it to that officer explaining everything again and it was accepted. My son's receipt date Sep 30 but the notice date was somewhere in Nov. due to all these correspondence.

Make sure that everyone in the family who has a pendng 485 has the travel document (AP); otherwise 485 will be considered abandoned.
If you are traveling by road and the trip is < 30 days, just use Automatic visa revalidation and do not surrender I 94 and come back on the old I 94.
If you are travelling by air or if trip is > 30 days, surrender I 94 and you can enter any way (on H1/H4 or AP does not matter as long as everyone HAS an AP).
Good Luck with your trip.

IV core members have been in media MANY times.
Aman Kapoor(Fox News, Washington Post), Shilpa Ghodgaonkar(Washington Post, South Asia Insider), Siva Singaram(NBC), Pratik Dakwala (FOX 2-Bay area) are just to quote a few.
None of these guys have been deported, fired, stoned or died. They are alive, well, working and proud to have been there to show up when needed.
We are legal immigrants. Even if you are illegal, you shouldnt be afraid to speak up. If legal hi-skills educated immigrants shy away from exercising constitutional rights of speaking up, then what can we say?
I would be happy to speak up but just an FYI, we donot have any constitutional rights. We are second class citizens at the best, and slaves in a different form at worst.And that is not ranting of someone who has been in line for half a decade. Here's the proof.
I love skeet shooting but the law prevents me (or anyone who is on a "nonimmigrant" visa) from buying a gun. Thats second amendment rights that were awarded to everyone living in the USA.

If you look at the forms page on the USCIS website, it says previous editions of the I-485 form accepted.

My app was received by NSC on 24th July and looks like NSC is processing August apps. Even, if my app got transferred to TSC, it should have been processed by now according to USCIS report on RN processing. I am not sure, what to do ?
Filed on Jul 24th at Nebraska ,No receipts yet, chq given by company so no info on chq being cashed.

My advice place the new approval as a bookmark on the current visa page when presenting the passport at the counter. This almost forces them to consider the new approval, also provide a copy of your I-797. Check the date before leaving the counter and politely ask for it to be corrected if wrong.

We will be sending out an email to all of you very soon. Hopefully we can have a conference call maybe this weekend to go over what we are trying to achieve with the help of volunteers
Any update for this weekend?

I do not have the approval notice used to obtain a visa to enter the country for the very first time in 2001.
All attempts to obtain a copy of the I-797 from company/attorney have failed and so I have filed a I-824 for a duplicate. That will take a few months.
I am wondering what will happen if USCIS issues a RFE on my I-485 asking for evidence of lawful presence all these years.
I don't have all the I-94s either. I do have the visa stamp on my passport.

I know we missed the Dec 31st goal, but sounds like we brought in new members at a faster pace than in the past.
Hopefully all these new memebers will be active participants and donors.
Thanks for your quote, just the same thought on my mind.

So just to have the last word you somehow went in deleted all the following posts after your post? Good going!
Some people are really highly sprung and get mad very quickly!
If you had expressed yourself better (from your first post, I believed you wanted to file by yourself), I wouldn't have bothered with my response.
Saying that, you are right: attorneys do screw up. It happened to me...
But practically speaking, considering how complex a file can be, good luck to you on checking an attorney's job.

Did you see Oct 9th as LUD on your case? We are trying to figure out if LUD is giving any indication towards when USCIS issues the approval.
NO LUD AS YET
STILL SAYS 8/31/2007 AS LAST UPDATE
