I strongly suggest that you do not go for visa stamping (unless there is a family emergency) if you get the new H1B approved. I went for the visa renewal and after nearly 7 months I am still waiting. I am not from any restricted country or have any thing problematic in my name (if you know what I mean). Since these investigations are confidential, I may never know the reason for my situation. From the various forums on this subject, i have gathered that, once you get flagged, you are condemned for life or until you get citizenship. Even if you have done nothing wrong...they like to test your patience again and unfortunately the pleasure is all theirs.
If you have to get stamped, get it from a neutral country such as Canada. A company that can allow you to work from overseas while you are waiting for the visa will help a lot. Also ask your friends to help you with your apartment and other belongings if it takes too long to get the visa. If you do get the visa quickly then just thank your lucky stars for they were more powerful than the VO on that day and time.

My case is a bit different.
I have a 485 filed by a company for future employment.
Right now my Priority date became current for my current employer and that labor and I140 are approved.
So can we file multiple 485's with USCIS or do we need to cancel the other 485 to file new 485 with my current employer.

Hi, I just joined the group. Is there anything scheduled so far?
I also have an immigration question.
My employer filed the PERM with EB-2 in September 2007. It was audited in November. Still waiting. I have the fear I could get laid off. If this will happen before the Labor Department approval, and before the 1-year renezaw of my H1-B (exp. Sept.08), what will happen? Do I loose everything?
Thanks for your support.

Recently, one of my co-worker who was on L1A, requested an extension of his Visa. His employer filed for an L1B instead and did not inform him until after filing it. Now USCIS has sent an RFE. Does anyone know if this can be grounds for rejection of his Visa? Is the employer legally correct in filing a changed Visa category at will without informing the holder? His wife is unable to obtain a driver's license since the Visa approval is pending. Does anyone know if this can be addressed? If so, how?

I am an undergrad student at purdue. I went to a community college for a year and transferred back to purdue. I did not fill in any paper work or anything and I was put out of status as per my international advisor. I handed them a all the documents that were needed for reinstatement. they told me it take 3-4 months for reinstatement and i should stay the US in the meantime.
Now being said that I filled it on 10/9/11 and i am gonna be dropped from purdue on 10/17/11. I am planning on attending a community college for the coming semester and they will not accept me with a terminated record.
So my questions are -
1) Will immigration department check back with uni if i am still enrolled (note: i got paper signed from my advisor with my graduation dates on it)
2) Should i leave US and apply for a new visa and a new i 20 with that community college?
If yes, then what are my chances of getting a visa?
3) What are my options??
Please advice. I am at crucial crossroads of my life.
thanks!!!!

Hello
I am on H1 and 3 months back i came to US.After one month i applied for SSN,but still didnt get that.
when i went to SS office for enquiry 1 week back, they told me that my immigration verification was not done yet. so i had to wait.
can anyone help me with this.
how many days will it took to complete the process??
is there any other way around........
please answer me ASAP.
It usually takes 8 weeks tops to complete (after all dig deeeeeeeep checks). Does your first & last name match on passport, 797 and I-94? - this is one of reasons for delay in issuing a SSN. My 2C

I know that PERM labor gets expired if one does not file I-140 within 180 days of labor's approval date.
I am wondering if DOL has any procedure to revive expired approved/unused PERM by filing some sort of request/appeal or by paying some sort of fees etc. or if not ,then one files a new PERM by referring the old unused approved labor for the same job and same person then DOL can give an expedited approval.

All,
I saw the following data released on Murthy bulletin today about PERM and BPC cases. I thought I will share it with you all.
PERM:
The DOL states that 80,272 PERM cases were filed during the above timeframe. Of these, 36,687 have been certified, 1,950 have been withdrawn, and 23,205 have been denied. The denials have been for a variety of reasons, including small errors made on the forms. Thus, many of these cases were refiled and may have been approved, ultimately. The remaining cases are pending.
There have been 24,960 audits. A breakdown of the number of cases approved and denied after an audit was not provided.
BPC:
The backlog processing centers (BPCs) began with just over 363,000 labor certifications in the backlog. The DOL reports that 108,000 of these cases have been completed. There are at least 255,000 cases that have not been completed. Of those cases completed, approximately 50,000 have been certified. This does not mean that there have been high rates of BPC denials. We believe it reflects the fact that a case is deemed "complete" if the employer chooses not to go forward at the 45-day letter stage.
DOL believes that all special-handling cases have been identified and contacted. Full data entry for all cases still appears to be slated for a June 30, 2006 completion.
This data may help us in doing some more calculations for regrogression date movements.

VFS site mentions that whole of Andhra falls under HYD jurisdiction. Probably it means that applicant if he/she going for visa first time, may not take appointment at other consulates.
Also, SF Indian consulate clearly mentions that they do not provide any services to short term visitors that includes visitors....

Thank you frostrated and madmonkey for your responses. We had taken infopass and were able to speak to immigration officer too. That is where we were told there is nothing like linking or interfiling. I read the pearson memo multiple times but it says both dates must be current. EB2 is not current and hence do not know the validity of the claim. I will try infopass again and see before filing MTR.

Illegals are another story, and now we need to focus on the legals, as all efforts trying to bind legal and illegal together turned out to be failure completely.
While we can keep an eye on these articles - these are coming up to counter our efforts.
Lets keep the focus on.
I would only say - IV is for legal immigrants, for those who have maintained legal status and have played by the rules.

Hi,
I got married in 2008, but my wife came with me to the US in Dec 2009. I got married while my I485 was pending due to priority date backlog. I understand that I can add her to my I485 application when my priority dates are current (Jan 17 06). My questions are:
1. How many days do I have to file after my priority dates are current (in case I do get my green card in the interim)?
2. She being a non-Australian born Australian citizen can legally work in this country on a special E3 visa. But I am not sure whether she can be added on my green card application while working on the E3 visa? If thats not possible, the only 2 ways she can work and be added o GC is to apply for H1b (probably not available till October '10) or wait till my priority date is current, file for I485 and EAD and wait for that?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help regarding this.

BusinessWeek featured an excellent story about O1 visas, often known as the Genius visas. While the spotlight is now on H1B visas or the debate on Immigration Reform, it is important to cover this important and often overlooked visa.
O1 visas are awarded to immigrants with extraordinary abilities in the arts, sciences, education, business, or athletics. The program, for what are officially called O-1 visas (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137182.html), began in 1990 as lawmakers sought to separate these applicants from the pool of those seeking H-1B visas, the visa program for skilled immigrants used by many technology companies. While H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) applicants must hold at least a bachelor's degree and possess some specialized skill, O-1 visas (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137182.html)are allotted to a more elite crowd: those who can prove to U.S. immigration officials that they are the very top in their fields.
According to the U.S. State Dept.�which makes the grants to successful applicants�9,014 O-1s were awarded in 2008, up 40% from 2004. Among current O-1 visa holders are Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, Canadian author Jennifer Gould Keil, Israeli concert pianist Inon Barnatan, and members of the New York dance companies Merce Cunningham and Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane.

I have a PD of April 2008 in the EB2-I category, but am exploring the option of switching to EB1 if possible. I am a clinical psychologist, working in a not-for-profit agency. What are my chances? Does it depend more on the case itself or a really good lawyer who can present your case in the best way it can be presented? This is a really stressful situation because my husband's H1-B runs out next summer and we cannot live here on just my income. Any feedback?
I believe the case itself is the major factor. The credentials/publications/patents + solid letters of recomendations etc is the major factor. The attorney can advice you on the types of letters or proofs that are required to substantiate your case but not more. And ofcourse once you have decided that you could potential go for the EB1, I would certainly ask others for attorneys who have had more success in EB1 cases. The "good" attorney will evaluate your total package and asks you for more documents if it is not good enough. Others will take your money and all material you send and just send it over to the CIS.

Please start a webfax campaign in support of the Amendment S.1249, being co-sponsored by senators Maria Cantwell (D-Wash), John Cornyn (R-Tex.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Orrin Hatch (R-Pa.), and Robert Bennett (R-Utah).
There is no use just opposing the existing bill without proposing what we want actually.
