SO I have a question. I received my 45 day letter way back in Jan 2006. As of today, no action has been taken on my application. I have recentlly acquired the help of my congressmen to find out what the hold up is. I am waiting since Oct 2001.
I have done a PERM and it has been approved, my I140 has been approved and now waiting for dates to become available. Here is my status as of yet.
I am in my 8th year of h1. I will be applying for extention of my 9th year within a couple of months. I will use my I140 to get 3 years extension. SUppose my old labor is up, can I use my Perm advertisement for that. The job oppourtunity was same for PERM as it is for old labor. Will it be different advertisemtn. Those who have go that labors approved, what kind of advertisement does the DOL requires when its NON RIR. How long does that usually take.
My company might be getting sold in the near future. So there is a possibility that I will loose my job. what are my options then. I only have 5 monts left on my 8th year H1b visa. Suppoe my extension is approved for 3 years base of my I140, before the company is sold. Can I transfer my H1b visa toanother compnay. what if it is in a different state.
Can congressional inquiry help the process speed up a little bit.
Anyone who has gone through this, your response will be appreciated.
Thanks!

According to this Aug 1st will be current for receipt notices ?
I am not sure if it includes all 485's filed on July 2 to July 20 ?
Yep that is correct - for June filers

We recently assisted a client from Johannesburg, South Africa, regarding an H-1B specialty occupation visa. He was approved for an H-1B visa, but in order for our client to enter the United States, he must obtain an H-1B visa in his passport. Because the chances of visa issuance vary greatly depending on documentation and individual circumstances, we suggested that he go to the interview at the U.S. consulate very well prepared. We told him to take a certified copy of his entire H-1B package that was filed with the Immigration Service, along with his Form I-797 Approval Notice. We also suggested that he take original birth certificates, marriage certificate, and proof of financial support. He attended the interview this morning and his experience at the U.S. consulate in Johannesburg, South Africa was documented as follows.
“My wife, myself and our son had our interview at the U.S. Consulate here in Johannesburg this morning, at 9:00am. We duly arrived at 8:30am, had our relevant DS documents checked at the door, took a number, and waited for the “call.” At promptly 9:00am we were called to a booth, where our fingerprints were taken, the DS forms checked with the original I-797 form, and then told to go and sit down again. 10 minutes later, we went back to the booth, had our fingerprints taken again, and that was it. All visas approved, and to pay DHL the delivery costs. No questions asked, no documents asked for, no requirement of proof of copies of documents, nothing. All in all a painless and easy task.”

Can anyone be kind enough to tell me how to talk to a real person at the Vermont Service center? It has been over a month since my employer received the receipt number from USCIS, but the case cannot be found online. I tried calling the number below, but the robot that talks says the same detais that I can find online.
"Your case can not be found at this time in Case Status Online. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283."

U.S. companies are also clamoring for more H1B visas to allow foreign software engineers and other skilled workers into the country.
The 65,000 visas allotted for 2007 were taken by the end of May last year, months before the end of the fiscal year in September, said Jack Krumholtz, the head of Microsoft Corp.'s government affairs office. It is also difficult to get permanent U.S. residency for foreign workers who would like to stay, he said.
"This is becoming for high-tech companies a huge retention issue," Krumholtz said. "We will start to see highly valued tech employees emigrate back to their home countries."

Hello.
I filed I-485 on October 1st. Alone with I-485 I filed Form G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance. Instructions for G-1145 says that I will be notified within 24 hours of documents accepting but I didn't get any notification yet. Is this something I should worry about? Documents been sent by Express mail and delivered to Chicago lockbox on October 1st.

if u file for 140, chances are that it will get approved before may 2007 is high. If u have an approved 140, you can get 3 year extension. If you seek extension based on labor, you will get 1 year extension. I recommend u to apply for 140 (if possible premium) ASAP. Even otherwise,you are fine to get an year of extension.

For precaution only.
Do you actually need Paychecks and Employment Letter when travelling with AP ? Or are you just taking them as a precaution?

I have probably a strange case .In 2007 when all the dates were current my employer filed I-140 & I485 at the same time in EB2 . I have received AP and EAD both according to standard procedure.I have maintained my H1B status. Then after a month or so I have received I-140 rejection due to different job requirement and I am overqualified for the job so my attorney interfiled new I-140 under EB3 without worrying about I 485 thinking since I 140 is denied it should nullify I485 under EB2 . In the mean time USCIS sent me a new I-485 receipt # . I got my I 140 approved in another six months under EB3 and now I have two I 485 receipt numbers as well as two A numbers. Both of the receipts when I checked the status show that it is under initial review. Shall I call USCIS and get rid of the initial I485 which is under EBII . Anyone had this kind of experience??

Did you apply for an H4 along with H1? You should ask this question to one of the attorneys, this is pretty complicated.

Hi all,
I am currently working on an L1 visa. Have been in the US for 1.5 years.
A few weeks ago I wanted to change my job. Now I have an offer and the new employer is trying to sort out the visa.
Unfortunately, the H1B visas are gone for this year, and the employer can't wait until October to get me working in their team, so waiting for the new H1 visas is not an option.
After checking with their immigration attorneys, they now say the only option I have is to request an 'O' visa (they will support me).
'O' visas are available for top sportsmen, actors or scientists. The attorneys say I have a good-enough resume to apply for one (masters degree, published some articles and experience in top companies) but I still think the opportunities are not many, since I think my resume is really good but not outstanding enough for this type of visa.
My question is, how careful do I have to be when letting the company attorney to apply for a 'O' on my behalf? And specially, if the visa is denied is that going to impact my current L1 visa? I don't wanna end up with no visa at all! And also, is that going to be a 'bad record' next time I apply for a visa (probably H1)?
What about the positive case? Can I have the 'O' visa during the 2 weeks I will still work in my current company under an L1 (I have to give my company 2 weeks notice before leaving) before moving jobs?
I can't stop thinking the attorneys want the best for the company, that doesn't mean they want the best for me, so I am worried about the possibility they are applying for the visa on my behalf but not minding possible bad consequences for me if the visa is refused.
Thanks so much for your help.

Hi company A applied for my H1 in april 1st week.
they have got 2 rfe so far and now i am not interested in working with them(they also dont seem interested in replying to the 2nd rfe)
Another company is interested in filing my h1b.
what is the safest way to go about doing this.
should i let company B know that i filed with company A before.
Also will there be any problem in getting H1b approved because of my earlier filing
Thanks
Anand
