Thanks for your response.....
What happens if I-140 gets revoked?
The market situation isnt that great....What if I am unable to get a job prior to I-140 being revoked?
Will my EAD be valid?

Indian students in US cross 100,000 mark- Visa Power-Travel-Services-News By Industry-News-The Economic Times (http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/services/travel/visa-power/Indian-students-in-US-cross-100000-mark/articleshow/5241333.cms)
The number of students from India enrolled in US universities and colleges crossed 100,000 for the first time ever this year even as Most expensive cities for expats
international enrollments in America registered the largest percentage increase since 1980, defying broad economic trends.
As the number of international students at colleges and universities in the US increased by 8% to an all-time high of 671,616 in the 2008/09 academic year, students from India made up 103,260 of the overall number, according to the Open Doors report, which is published annually by the Institute of International Education (IIE) in collaboration with the US government.
The Indian numbers went up 9.2 per cent from 94,563 in 2007/2008 to cross 100,000 for the first time to retain its position as the top place of origin for international students in the United States. China remained in second place, although there was a sharp 21 per cent spike in students from China, going up from 81,127 last academic year to 98,235 this year. South Korea (69,000 to 75,000) remained in third place.
This is the eighth consecutive year that India has remained in the top spot. In course of a preview of the forthcoming visit to Washington of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh next week, Indian officials said on Monday that Indian student inflow contributed nearly $ 3 billion to the US economy last year. Overall, international students contribute $17.8 billion to the US economy, through their expenditures on tuition and living expenses, according to the US Department of Commerce.
Authors of the report said the findings do not reflect the full impact of the past year's economic downturn, since decisions to come to the United States to study were made before the financial effects were fully felt in the sending countries.

I would LOVE to meet the good Senator. However there is this debate that whether we shud wait for the specialists to give us points or make them ourselves.
Let us be clear on what the approach is.
The lobbying firm might help us with a few pointers, but getting an appointment should not be affected by that.

Hello Everyone;
I recently posted a thread on our buying house expereince, while that was chapter in itself, there is another one that has recently opened up. Allow me to elaborate;
When you buy a house ( as most know) lender sets up an arrangment with Title company. You actually pay for the expenses and title company carries out the work. So as part of the paper work, this title company was assigned to put together, they sent me a copy of the whole deal for my records. Now, the person who was handling the package at title company, sent it to the address on my driver license. Happens to be that right next day from the date of closing, I left this place an moved into my house. So when the package arrived via Fedex, their was no-one their to claim, so the Fedex guy left it on the door step. After more than a week, the title company contacted me via phone asking about why I haven't signed up those documents and sent back. Surprised I asked about when they sent and to what place? that's when we discovered that the package was delievered to wrong place. So I asked them to ask Fedex to go fetch the package and send it to my new address. So now Fedex reported, that the package is gone! ... I contacted apartment office and no-one turned in such package. I called back the title company and informed them about all this and complained about loss of personal information. I asked them to pay for identity protection program, which they have refused.
So my question is what legal course do I have to ensure they pay for my ID protection. I am really furstrated with the way these people do work. Instead of accepting negligence they are refuting my greivance. I have never hired a lawyer nor has taken anyone to court, but feel cheated.

sorry about that, i was planning to file in 2007, but didn't complete the process, and forgot to update my profile. it is updated now. thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks. I will try to answer here. The attorneys on forum maybe able to help you further and give a more reliable answer as they know the law.
From what I know NIW means you are asking for a Labor process waiver. Thus you can apply I140 directly without labor certification. However after the PERM process introduction getting Labor certificate is not that time consuming as it was earlier. ( I know these days it has become more time consuming ) Nevertheless you can still save your labor process time by applying for NIW. Note that collecting the proof and preparing the application can also be time consuming. In order to file an NIW petition, the you must be able to demonstrate that you are seeking work in an area of substantial intrinsic merit to the US, that the benefit from your proposed activity will be national in scope, and that such national interest would be adversely affected if a Labor Certification were required for your application.
Note that there is a difference in exceptional ability and extraordinary ability that is a requirement for EB1. Exceptional ability means your degree, skills and achievements are above than what is normally found in your peers. Extraordinary has a far higher standards that you need to meet. You can file as an advanced degree holder but if you are requesting waiver of Labor certification you need to prove the 3 criteria stated above. They can be proved by your various publications, awards, letters from experts, patents etc.

USCIS sends out three copies of the approval notice Form I797 A: Sent to the attorney on record, Form I797 B sent to the Petitioner and Form I797C sent to the beneficiary. Check the lower right hand corner of the notice you received for the form number. The B and C versions are courtesy copies. That is why if you look at the "documents needed" section for stamping of H1B in any of the Consulates or VFS sites they typically mention "original Form I797A"
Hope this helps.
Thks for the Info..I am aware only I-797 has two parts..

The meeting was very well organized. Q&A session with Attorney Prashanti Reddy was very useful. Here are my suggestions:
a) We can have these conferences every two months or whenever core thinks so.
b) I think we should stick to immigration.
c) Earlier 'Invite a friend/Add a member' campaigns were very successful as compared to flyer/poster campaign.
Thanks for coming with your wife - this is the third meet and you both came for all the meets.
Excellent input - we must do more of these. We are expanding now and getting support so I think we are in a position to do more stuff.
Flyers and posters also play a crucial role as a first step to a lot of people.

Hello Guys,
I have E-Filed for EAD renew on jne 27th and have sent all the supporting documents the following day. But on Aug 6th recieved an RFE for the photos I haven't sent along with the documents and asked me submit 2 color passport photos. It was my understading that I don't have to send the photos while E-filing since they will be taken at the bio-metric appt. I am done with my bio-metric appt. Do i need to contact USCIS about this or is there any thing you guys can suggest me.
Regards
Vijay
p.s I have already responded to the RFE with 2 color photos.
Some times we need to think ahead!!. I sent all the stuff (Including the one they asked not to send) and got EAD on time :-)

Dear Friends:
I also have a similar question on traveling abroad for 4 weeks with my 485 pending.
As you all know that when we applied our 485 AOS (EB-based) we had to also submit the copy of our latest 1-94 card (which I did). Now that I am leaving the US, I will be handing over the original 1-94 at the port of exit (a copy of which was submitted with the 485 application). Then when returing, I will be receiving another new 1-94. So my questions:
(a) Will I have to re-send the INS another copy of my new 1-94 when I return to the US (b) also might surrendering the old 1-94 and getting new one confuse my 485 records with the INS (c) Finally, do any of you know of anyone who with 485 pending, a valid H1B visa, and no Advanced Parole has had any problems returning back to the US?
Please advise, and that would be so appreciated. Regards.

When I went on a vacation to India, I had a valid H1B visa stamp that was valid for 30 more days. I also had an approved petition for extension.
I could have gone for stamping, but I chose not to and when I came back I showed them my H1B visa which was valid for 10 more days and also my extension petition. I was sent to Secondary Inspection (you can also be sent here in case you have an AP, nothing to be worried about SI, it very common nowadays). In that, a senior IO looked at both and then stamped my I-94 till the end of the extension petition (Oct 2010).
Though your situation is slightly different - you dont have a valid H1B stamp when you go to India, you can go to consulate and get it stamped with current H1B petition and while coming back you need to show the IO at counter both the VISA and the extension. Better yet, as some-one suggested, present both petitions to embassy in India and see how they handle it.
Have a safe trip..

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.
2) Besides carrying my Passport, Advance parole copies with me, please advise me if I need to carry any more documentation from my end.
3) Would I need a copy of employment letter for visa purpose, or carrying my recent pay-stubs would be fine?
I would appreciate if you could please guide me with the travel related visa -requirements and documentation. Thanks!

Situation: approved I-140 (EB-2), getting close to 5th year of H1B.
questions:
1. if i change employers, can I use my priority date even though my employer has not given me a copy of the filed/approved I-140? If i can, what if the old employer cancels the i-140: can I still use the PD from the approved 140?
2. if i start a new gc process with a new company, what stage of my GC should i be in so that my h1 can be extended beyond the 6th year? should the perm be filed or should the 140 be filed before the beginning of 5th year?
3. once h1 is extended beyond the 6th year for say 3 years, can I transfer my h1 to a new employer?
thanks.
learner
I'm not attorney but I'm suggesting based on my experience .I know answers as Ive gone through this recently...
1. Yes , Your PD for approved 140 is your possession. You can port it in your future 485 process of GC with your future employer even if your old employer revokes it.
2. You can get three year extension to your new H1 transfer with your current approved 140 of old employer.
3. Yes, You can.
Please let me know if you have any concerns.

First of all thanks for your valuable feedback.
FYI: I am a derivative I-485 applicant (my spouce is a primary 485 applicant).
So, Did you mean I can join an employer on EAD and file for green card processing (labor cert, 140, and 485) as a primary applicant with my prospective employer?
Thanks,
You can use the EAD to start working. Then start the GC process. But I dont think you can caputre the 2003 EB3 PD for your EB2. Only your spouse can port the PD if he starts his GC in EB2. I believe you can not port your spouse's PD for your GC. So whats the use of doing this. You will be having EB2 PD sometime in 2010 as it takes 3-6 months time to file the PERM.

If you have your latest H1B approved, old Stamp is still valid. Just inform your attorney and take the papers that your attorney will pass on. Plus your employment letter+recent pay stubs, just the regular stuff.
Good Luck with your mom's health!
God Bless!
I have a valid H-1B valid till 18th feb 2011 for employment with my previous employer. I had changed employment and now have I797C for the new employer valid till Nov 2011. I plan to go to India and be back in 1 week, my employer would issue me a leave approval letter. My present employer is a big hospital-non profit and I am a health professional.
Can some one tell if would need to get a new visa stamped if I come back by 15th January 2011. What documents should I carry. Should I talk to a lawyer before I leave. My mom is stable now but I am afraid If dont go now, I might not be able to gor a long time as I dont want to get re-stamping done.
Please advice

I recently got laid off and the company I was working for stated that it will revoke my H1-B. However, the same company applied for GC 4 years ago and currently the I-485 approval is pending. I did not renew my EAD after it expired last year and just continued on H1-B. I only renewed my wife's EAD which will expire next year. So, can I apply for renewal of EAD now and stay legally in this country while the EAD is being processed.

Dear Viewers
Could anyone please advice me on how to claim the unpaid salary from the previous employers.
I was working for a company based in Michigan run by an Indian. This person did not pay me my last month salary. He does not pick up his phone or respond to my email. I have all the proof that my client has paid him the money for which I worked but he continue to ignore my request. This guy owes me around 5000 dollars.
Any piece of advice would be of great help.
WH-4 form is for complaining to dol
