    "The new company should first apply H1 for 3 years based your current approved I-140"

    Can someone pl clarify whether a "new company" can get a H1 extension for 3years based on an approved I-140 from "current company" (after 6 years completed on H1).

    It is clear that "current company" can get H1 extension for 3years based on an approved I-140 and a "new company" can transfer it, but is it possible for "new company” to get a 3 year H1 based on approved I-140?

    If yes, does the “new company" have to wait for H1 quota OR it doesn't come under H1 Quota?

    Thanks

    Gurus, help needed urgently - I had mailed my I-765 on Saturday via express delivery to the Texas Service Center as I live in NJ. The address I sent it to was
    USCIS
    Texas Service Center
    P.O Box 851041
    Mesquite, TX 75185-1041

    I checked my USPS tracking status, and it says the following

    We attempted to deliver your item at 10:33 AM on June 23, 2008 in MESQUITE, TX 75185 and a notice was left. A second delivery attempt will be made. If unsuccessful, we will hold it for five business days and then it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

    Has this happened with anyone else? I cross checked the address and its correct. So what should be done in this case?

    Saloni->
    The above mentioned address is correct for USPS deliveries. Getting confirmation from P O BOX is a problem anyway.

    If for any reason you get the parcel back, I would advise you to Fedex it

    USCIS (non USPS Carrier)
    Texas Service Center
    4141 North St. Augustine Road
    Dallas, TX 75227

    I live in GA and I will be using FedEx.

    H4 people used to use TaxID instead of SSN in their tax returns (joint filing for ex.). What do they use when they get SSN after EAD ? Do they use SSN or just the Tax ID. Is there any requirement that they inform IRS that they got SSN and start using it instead ?

    If you read the letter that came with ITIn it says that when you obtain SSN then send a copy of SSN and ITIn to IRS informing them of the change.

    Till last year changing to SSN required paper filing of taxes, but now has made a provision in e-filing to accomodate the change, but I would personally give plenty of room (time wise) to avoid any bugs that might be there in the system.

    a. If I move now, can I take my 3 yr extension filed by company A with me or


    I think you can get the extension with new company too. While applying for the transfer request extension upto Feb 2010. You might have to provide the I140 approval again to prove that you are eligible for 3-year extension.


    b. should I join company B in September 2007( when I complete 6 yrs) during the 3 yr H1B extension period ?
    I think you can join the company immediately. To be in safe side you can apply for transfer in premium.

    As you might be aware there is no such thing as H1B transfer - every h1b application is a new one for that company and you as beneficeiry. So when applying for H1B with new company - you have to provide evidence that you are eligible for the H1B. The evidence is to show you are already on H1B (so that you are not subject to annual cap); and that you have enough time on H1B if you already completed 6 years then evidence to prove that you are eligible for further extension of h1b. So in short yes you can get 3 years with new employer. (NOTE: I am not lawyer this is my understanding based on various sources; I am also considering moving after my i140 is approved).

    WOW! that would be great. All you have to do is fill out the application at http://s7.invisionfree.com/TGG_Team_Forum/ and you can go to http://s7.invisionfree.com/TGG_Team_Forum/ to register. Also if you don't check your email often, you should. Most communication is based on email and if you don't reply after some time your gone. (it's happened before!)

    Hi,
    My I 485 was filed on 07/12/2007 in EB2. My priority date in Feb26 2007.
    I am working on EAD now, which is valid through 07/06/2012.
    I have got a job offer from one of the top fortune 500 company recently. They are offering the job with a role of "Lead Technical Architect".

    Following are the details from my labor:

    Job Title: Programmer/ Analyst/Systems, Software/Engineer/Developer, or Related to IT
    Reponsibility:
    develop, create and modify general computer application software. Analysis user needs and design, develop software solutions. Design, develop, analyse and implement software and end user product. Coordinate various account projects with IT consultants; nurture close relationship with the major account customers by providing quality technical support and apply principles of computer science, engineering and mathematical analysis.

    From the generic nature of the role resonsibility, I feel that the "Lead technical Architect" role will not be a misfit with the requirement of "Similar resposibility".

    Can you kindly let me know if you see any violation of the EAD porting requirement in terms of similar responsibilities?

    Thanks in advance.

    My checks cashed on 10/2, I was able to get the receipt numbers from back of the check. Lawyer/myself did not receive any physical notice. I opened a SR last week and waiting.... :(

    wandmaker,
    Please share if you have any progress on your SR or receiving the receipts. I am trying to call USCIS to check the status on the SR, but could not reach them. Now they have a dummy menu system, which keeps on looping when you select the option for receipts not received.

    Thanks.

    Hello Folks,


    I also read, if there was a pending EAD renewal, your case might get looked at and instead of renewing your EAD, USCIS will rather give you GC - provided PD is current and there are no other issues.



    The USCIS systems are not that sophisticated as we think they are.
    For me, I have opened an SR on Aug 4, got CPO on Aug 11, then the SR response came on Aug19 saying that my GC has been approved :)

    ...and wait there's more!
    Aug 13 or so, they approved my pending EAD, this after approving GC on Aug 11. Lets give them a benefit of doubt assuming that their various servers didnt get synced up in those two days.

    Last week of August, they send me information on my AP that was approved earlier and for which i had my attorney send an enquiry (as I didnt receive the AP by then)....

    so basically what this shows is that mostly there exists a high disconnect in their various servers/databases, and most probably their processes are highly manual.

    Gist of this, highly disconnected systems and I dont think SR would lead to anything..


    But, yours looks like a porting case - so possibly they might have the wrong dates - it might help to open an SR or go for infopass...

    Last week, I submitted my documents to my lawyer but until now I haven't received any confirmation from my employer yet if my application has been filed already. We are not allowed to contact our lawyer directly so I'm just relying on my employer about this. I'm quite concerned coz there's no way for me to find out if they have filed it or not.
    Is there a way? Please help me please. Thank you

    485 is your petition and does not have anything confidential about your company, so legally your employer should not cut ur access to lawyer.

    Labor and 140, it is undeerstandable for employer - lawyer protocol, but 485 that must not be the case.

    Contact your lawyer, nothing wrong in asking for reciept notice. But remember, I am a third person and don't know about your employer and lawyer and how they are. So do it at your discretion

    See response below:

    Hello all:

    I have few questions related to my travel plans to India. We will be leaving in January 2009.

    We have our Advance Parole and EAD approved till 2009. I-485 is still pending . EB3 India.
    My H1B visa stamp is not current or up-to-date on my passport. We have booked our flights with North-west airlines and KLM which will depart from Detroit-Amsterdam-Mumbai. I have few questions pertaining to my travel.

    1) Would I still need to get a transit visa for Amsterdam, even though our flight will be halting for few may be 3-4 hours at Amsterdam- Schiphol Airport? If I do have to arrange for Amsterdam transit-visa, then where should I start as far as documentation is concerned.

    - You don't need a transit visa for Schipol.

    2) Besides carrying my Passport, Advance parole copies with me, please advise me if I need to carry any more documentation from my end.

    - You don't need any other document; you can carry the I-485 receipt notice.

    3) Would I need a copy of employment letter for visa purpose, or carrying my recent pay-stubs would be fine?

    - visa forms + appointment letter
    - Original I-797
    - Employment letter
    - Original marksheets/degrees as a basis for your H-1B app
    - copy of your H-1B petition + LCA
    - Pay stubs

    I would appreciate if you could please guide me with the travel related visa -requirements and documentation. Thanks!

    RPH

    Me and my wife used AP at SF airport couple of months ago. The process was very smooth and IOs know exactly what to do with this document. However you will be sent to secondary and you will have to wait there for around 30 minutes (sounds like normal process everywhere else too).

    If you look closely its for the I-484 stage. I have also been told that the first stage has to be apporved. So the first I-140 has to be approved (earlier priority date). The word 'subsequent' is throwing the confusion around.
    I think this is not fair since lot of people have their earlier petition being approved after their second petitions (due to perm and premium I-140).

    example i guess clears the statement.

    What is lobbying and is it legal?
    As per the definition at Wikipedia, Lobbying is the practice of private advocacy with the goal of influencing a governing body by promoting a point of view that is conducive to an individual's or organization's goals. more information can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying

    It is 100% legal and is in fact the preferred way of getting things done by most corporations. Corporations like Microsoft, Dell, Yahoo, Google etc have all used lobbying in the past and in fact I would go as far as saying that every Fortune 1000 firm has used lobbying at one point of time or another. Just search for any company name and the word lobbying on Google and you'll see what we are talking about

    What has lobbying got to do with the Immigration Bill?

    As we know from part III, Senator Specter will be creating a markup of the Senate Immigration Bill. This may/may not contain the provisions that the immigrant community is looking for.

    The differennt bills that are being considered for the markup are McCain Kennedy bill, Cornyn Kyl bill, the Chuck Hagel Bill and a few others

    This document by AILA compares the various versions of the bill in different categories http://www.shusterman.com/pdf/immreform106.pdf. This also considers a markup of Senator Specter which is unofficial at the moment. This means that until it gets officially presented to the Judiciary Committee for review, it could change anytime.

    This markup already seems to contain the provisions we need, what are we still worried about?

    If you have read my post on S.1932, you would know that a bill can be amended at multiple stages.

    1) Senator Specter could change his markup, after all he has not come out with an official version. Do not forget that the link above refers to an unofficial version of the markup. As per unconfirmed reports, the Chairman's markup could be out anytime between now and mid-march and a lot of things could change in the mean time

    2) Assuming that the markup does contain the provisions that we as immigrants are fighting for, any judiciary committee member can propose an amendment to the bill which could result in a an unwanted change. A case in point is the amendment that Senator Diane Feinstein proposed during S.1932 which reduced the increase in H1B visas from 60,000 to 30,000. Imagine if a senator brings in an amendment that strips off all the provisions for legal immigration!

    3) If the bill does not have strong support within the Judiciary committee, it could be voted out and it becomes history

    4) Assuming that the bill passes through the above steps, it is presented to the full Senate for a debate and vote. Here too any member of the senate can propose an amendment to the bill and the house votes on it. A case in point is the Byrd Amendment which was introduced by Senate Byrd from Virginia which sought to drop sections 8001 and 8002 from the S.1932. This was defeated by the a margin of 84-15 but remember that if it had enough support, S.1932 would have ended here

    5) Once the bill passes with the immigration provisions in the Senate, it is presented to a joint conference committee where a few senators and a few congressmen deliberate on which sections to include int he conference bill from among the House bill and the Senate bill. Remember that the house bill has already been passed (HR.4437) and it does not contain any immigration provisions. The House members could again force the senate representatives to drop the immigration provisions. The S.1932 bill's pro-immigration sections got dropped precisely at this juncture

    So as can be seen, there are various stumbling blocks towards achieving a favorable bill.

    The only way we can ensure that the pro-immigrant provisions do not get ignored or sacrificed is by lobbying. By lobbying we can ensure that the right folks at the right places can understand our concern and empathize with us.

    A lobbying firm can ensure that we send a consistent and effective message to the right people. As mentioned earlier, some of the lobbying firms have ex-Congressmen and ex-Senators on their boards. These folks have a great working relationship with the current senators and congressmen. These lobbyists can not only get our issues be heard by the powers, they can possibly influence them by using some political capital

    Why can't we just contact the lawmakers directly and tell them about it? Why spend money for lobbyists?

    We can definitely try doing this ourselves. This is a free country and nothing stops us from doing so. Unfortunately the effectiveness of such a method is questionable.

    During S.1932 proceedings, many members of this forum contacted their local congressmen and senators and asked for appointments. Many also conveyed their views to the staff and many also faxed their views in. Unfortunately the bill passed without the pro-immigration provisions. The message was not conveyed strongly enough and it was conveyed as individuals and not a group.

    It was realized that unless we present our case the way Washington, DC is used to seeing it (by hiring lobbyists), the message will not get through.

    Lobbyists have direct access to the actual congressmen and senators while the most we can hope is getting a key staff member's attention.

    A lobbyist can influence a house member, while we can only hope that the staff members pass our views to the house member.

    We do not know which members are really the ones to target and key decision makers and we might end up concentrating on the wrong house members. A lobbyist can help us identify these key members.

    All in all, a lobbyist can help us use our energy in the right way and not end up wasting it doing frivolous things and ultimately help us achieve our dreams

    And do not forget that some of the anti-immigration groups like numbersusa already have full time lobbyists working for them in DC. If we are to even put up a decent fight against these very dedicated anti-immigrant forces, we need to get help from a professional lobbying firm

    Hi,

    I looking for porting my approved EB3 labor and 140 to EB2. Here are my details:

    My qualification: Diploma in electronics and communication Engg in India
    (3 years diploma after 10th)

    Years of experience: Since 1991 in IT (About 20 YRs)

    Green card process: EB3 Approved labor and 140.

    Situation: When I contacted one of the university in USA they informed me that I can
    do the Masters instead of BS online degree.

    My question1: Will I be eligible to file my EB2 if I do Masters without doing BS?

    My question 2: Is MS from International Technological University (http://www.ITU.EDU) is accepted bu USCIS for Immigration purpose?

    Thanks in advance

    AFAIK, if the MS degree is from an US accredited institution and your new EB-2 job requires a MS degree, then yes, your new employer can start the EB-2 process for you. Once you have a US Masters, it doesn't matter what your earlier educational qualifications are. Key thing here is that your EB-2 job MUST require a Masters degree.
