Please do not go for stamping if it can be avoided, as embassies are very frequently giving form 221(g) for additional administrative processing which may take few weeks to several months.

Dear Friends,
My PD (EB3)is Dec-02. I have gone for Finger Printing twice now.
I see lot of reference to '45 Day letter' in the forum . I have no recollection of receiving the '45 Day ' letter so far.
Am I missing something here?
Can any one of you please explain what this letter is about?
Thanks,
Sreekanth
If you have done your FP twice.. you need to have fun, relax and forget about 45 day letter.. you passed that stage long time back.. this is basically for people who have labor certification pending with BEC.. just in case you don't know what BEC is.. its the Back Log Elimination Center set up to clear labor applications filled under the old system�.. and in case you don't know what the old system is ...........ok� its $5 for every further clarification..

An expert advice on this would be highly appreciated. Many thanks for your consideration.
- My H1 (I-94) is expiring on 1st week of Jun-2011.
- I am also actively looking to change my employer.
In this case, I am not able to decide on the following,
1. Can I go ahead and file H1 extension with my current employer 'A'?
2. If I happen to get another employer 'B' for H1 transfer, what are the implications if 'A' had already initiated the extension process?
I am very confused on whether to go ahead with my H1 extension. Any quick answer would be highly appreciated, as I am taking my decision (on applying for extension) based on this.
Thanks,
srikanth.

I guess it must be Nebraska, as my 131 was approved by TSC about a month ago and the status is still case pending...
Is it at Texas or Nebraska?

U.S. Department of Labor has implemented a new integrated online system � known as the iCert Portal � through which employers can submit applications for permanent labor certification, labor condition applications (LCAs) and other applications for immigration-related DOL programs. In addition, the agency will introduce new editions of Form ETA-9089, the PERM labor certification application, and have already introduced Form ETA-9035, the labor condition application. iCert has already replaced the method of LCA filing for H-1B. The new iCert system begins to accept LCAs as of July 1, 2009. Employer and attorneys as the case may be, can still use the old LCA account but cannot submit new LCA. New LCA has to be filed from iCert.
Following are the new changes which has taken place:
- The new LCA requires writing the SOC (ONET/OES) code and the occupation title for the job.
- The new LCA has a section for basis for the visa classification supported by the application. There are the following categories:
a. New employment;
b. Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer;
c. Change in previously approved employment;
d. New concurrent employment;
e. Change of employer;
f. Amended petition.
- One has to indicate the total number of H-1B/H-1B1 (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) non-immigrant workers.
- The new LCA also requires, in the employer information section, to indicate the Trade name/doing business as (DBA), if applicable, the old LCA does not have this requirement.
- In the new LCA, one is required to write NAICS code.
- There is a new section in the new LCA - Employer point of contact information, which requires to indicate the following: full contact�s name; contact�s job; contact�s address; contact�s telephone number; contact�s e-mail address.

My Father is applying for Citizenship in Nov 10. If he becomes Citizen then can I file I485 under F3(married sons and daughters of citizen parents). Category and port priority date of May 03 from my employment base I-485 to I-485 under F3?
hi there,
Unfortunately INA (immigration and naturalization act) does not allow to transfer Employment Based priority dates to Family Based immigration. So no, you can not do it.

Most companies that hire H1b workers or sponsor F1/OPT status workers for first-time H1 either have a law-firm deal all their immigration cases or an outside lawyer. Some of the big companies have a full-time in-house counsel.
Some employers who rarely hire professionals in need of H1b may not be aware of process and may ask you to look for lawyer to do it for them. The H1B petition is filed by employer. However, employee can certainly help with it. Legally, the employer cannot charge the employee for USCIS fees or lawyer's fees. However, you can hire your own lawyer to help you with your questions and answers(if you hire your own lawyer, you can be comfortable with all advise he gives you, since he would have your best interest in mind as you would be the client). However, to file a petition of H1, your employer should be paying the lawyer(either your lawyer or their lawyer).
Filing for H1B petition requires a fixed set of documents and its simple to do if you have time to do a little research. Many employees help their employers and together, they do it themselves without the help of lawyer, therby saving money. An average lawyer would charge 1000 dollars in fees for filing the petition. For USCIS fees, please look up their website.
There are H1 specific forums on www.immigrationportal.com which would have more details.
Thanks.

Murali,
Your India visit should not affect your gc. I know of several people who have gone out of the country after filing 485 (even without getting receipt). In one scenario, someone's application reached on 2nd and left the country on 3rd (with lawyer's approval). Ideally, you should wait for EAD/AP but according to my lawyer, it is ok to go out as long as you have a valid H1 stamp which allows you to reenter.
The only thing I can think of that can be impacted is your fingerprinting. If you get a notice while you are gone and don't return before the due date, your case will be considered abandoned (it is noted on the fingerprint receipt). To avoid this, inform your lawyer when you leave. They too get a copy of fingerprinting notice and can get it postponed for you if you are out of the country. Also make sure your mail is picked up regularly just in case USCIS tries to mail you some letter/EAD.
As always, check with your lawyer to get final opinion as your case is best known to him/her only.
My 2 cents, hope it helps.

Did you move to a different place or changed within the city where you currently live? I was reading an article yesterday and it said, if we move outside the area where we are currently located, it could trigger an RFE. I dont know how far its true.
Thanks!!

Thought folks might find the following interesting.
I recently returned from a visit to Canada where I stayed with my brother-in-law, who owns a small but very successful web development shop. He told me that due to the booming Canadian economy, he can no longer find experienced programmers at reasonable bill rates. So he's been doing some outsourcing to get cheap foreign labor ... hiring American programmers !
Where was that? Vancouver? Toronto?
Was it Java or LAMP or .NET stuff?

Any comments?
actually if you track the threads on immigrationportal.com, a ton of old-timers have gotten their GCs. A large number of these were EB3-India [2001-2004], so that 18k number does not look odd to me.
Does it look odd to you? Why?

No you don't have to wait for your 3 year extension to return to US. Your lawyers and company are basically trying to get your three year extension so that you can get a 3 year visa stamped in your passport. But there's nothing stopping you from returning to US at any time on your current H1b.
For your second question - no you don't have to be present in the US to file for the extension .

Hello,
My 140 is approved. My H1b is already extended for 3 years.
1) Can my spouses H1b get 7th year extension based on this?
I actually did get a H-1B extension once based on the fact that the spouse (also H-1B) had an approved I-140 priority date that was backlogged. It was an unusual approval, and surprised the other attorneys (including partners) where I was working. It's not guaranteed, but worth a try if there is no other option to work.

Given the situation for 485 denial. AFAIK, You have an option of filing for H1B (not counted against quota) based on your B's labor approval and pending 140. Once you use the EAD, technically you don't have the H1B status to transfer or extend. Hence, it will require you to go to consulate (b/c approval will come without I94) to stamp, and start working for Company B after you return.

Given that you filed in Dec 2002, it is very possible that your labor petition has already been certified or at least adjudicated.
You need to talk to your company/HR and get this resolved. Impress on them the importance of knowing the status of your petition.

Many times you get 10 year visa that does not mean they can stay for 10 years. You never get to stay more than 6 months and under exceptional circumstances that is increased to a year.
First of all, does US consulate give visa valid for 2 months? I know some countries do, especially if you are applying through SOTC like travel agents.
Ok.. to answer your question: Your parents _must_ start within 2 months from the time 2-month Visa issued. In other words, your parents must travel before the expiry of Visa in the passport.
Once they come here, how long can they stay _legally_ in USA depends on I-94 card. Typically I-94 card will be given with an expiry date, which I belive will not be _beyond_ expiry date of the Visa in the passport.
Hope this helps!!
