Hi,
I had applied for my H1 extension in June 2008 and waited for some time and then upgraded it to premium processing in July. I did not get any result on my H1 extension but in the meantime my GC was approved in August. My question is will i be able to get my H1 processing fee back, at least the premium processing fee. I heard if your H1 processing doesn't get any result in certain time you will be entitled to get your money back.
Thanks in advance
I highy doubt it that you will get any fees back from USCIS. If you ask about the status of your H1 they will just get back to you saying that your H1 application was rejected since the applicant is n longer in Non Immigrant status as your status chnaged to Immigrant as soon as your Green Card was approved. You can try but very few people have actually recieved fees back from USCIS. Good luck

This clearly shows - that this article has been at the behest of /or lobbied by the business community and industry leaders.
Because all they want is more H1-B workers. If we put in the same effort to talk about EB - and greencards and educate reporters, we would have articles written that would highlight our concerns.

Hi Folks,
It is crunch time! Since PD are current, many folks have only until June 30th to extend H1 visa for 3 yr. extension. So only 15 days left!
How much time has it taken for members to get 140 approved though PP? I value your feedback, or pls. point me to a poll/data elsewhere. Please also state when was the timeframe you applied/for it approved (day/month/year)
Thanks & Regards!

thx for ur inputs newbie2020. yes, i know that it is a conditional GC to start with.
my concern was - as far as i know, i cannot work actively for my own business on H-1B. hence i wanted to know if i could continue working on H-1B, apply for GC under EB-5 and then start the business after getting it.
attorneys, do u hv anything to add to what newbie2020 has said?

I think you should be honest and mention the details correctly.
Your company needs to file the immigration petition. So mention your company's name.
Good Luck

Guys,
I just wanted to share some good news. I had two approved LCs. One with PD EB3 ROW March 05 and the other with ROW EB3 March 06. I had already filed the I-140 for the March 06 but not for the March 05 one. That was because of the way the job requirement was worded in that LC. The attorney was not sure if it would be approved. Anyway since the earlier PD became current in June I decided to take a chance and file I-140 for that earlier PD LC with PP. And what do you know, it got approved today and that allowes me to file for AOS this month. It was a bit of a gamble with money but it worked!!! :cool:

That's expected. The CIR contains highly controversial language there dealing with illegal aliens, which is clearly opposed by the majority of Americans. We are in the middle of it. That is it. It is silly expect otherwise. If you follow the results of last elections, you will see that there is a tendency that supporters of illegal alien legalization are losing. More and more we associate our provisions with CIR, less chances for us to see a bill passing.

Hi
I have a friend that has a BS in Computer Engineering, and a MS in Electrical Engineering.
Can you guys give me sample job description that will qualify for EB2. He has 3 years of experience but that was acquired before obtaining the degrees.
Company is really flexible with job description.
Thanks in advance.
Are you the mouth piece for your friend...?

In general, macro lenses around 100mm are good for most kinds of macro photography. They have too much working distance for use on a copy stand, and not quite enough for skittish and/or dangerous insects or small animals. For general purpose stuff, the angle of view is such that you get enough background isolation to be worthwhile (you can rotate around your subject just a bit to get a highlight out of the background, while a 50mm macro takes in more background and makes this difficult).
I got a used Tamron 90mm, and let's just say that the build quality does not inspire confidence - however, the image quality is excellent. From what little I've seen of the Sigma 105mm macro (and from the many images that the members here have posted), it appears to have a bit better build quality and fine image quality as well. The Nikon macro is not going to be much better, if at all, in image quality than these, and you will pay dearly for the brand name. The one macro lens to avoid, however, is a "Phoenix" macro that only goes to 1:2 (that means that you can't get enough magnification for most small insects and flowers to fill the frame) and is most likely more cheaply built than my Tamron. Almost every other macro lens goes to 1:1 these days, and you can get the nicer ones used from KEH for not much more, so there's no reason to buy not-so-ideal lenses that you'll outgrow in no time anyway.
