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 Of these, 36,687 have been certified, 1,950 have been withdrawn, and 23,205 have been denied.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.

In response to the major delays with Labor Condition Applications (LCA's), the USCIS announced a temporary policy and procedural change regarding H1B petition filings. Effective November 5, 2009, H1B cases can be filed prior to the certification of the required Labor Condition Application (LCA). This change was necessitated by delays in LCA processing through the Department of Labor (DOL).
Here is how the new process will work. USCIS will begin to accept H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) petitions filed with uncertified LCAs for a 120-day period, commencing November 5, 2009 and through March 4, 2010. However, USCIS will only accept such H-1B petitions if they are filed at least 7 calendar days after the LCAs were filed with DOL and include evidence of these filings. The only acceptable evidence of filing is a copy of DOL�s email giving notice of receipt of the LCA.
Petitioners who seek to take advantage of this temporary flexibility in the normal filing procedures for H-1B petitions must wait until they receive a request for evidence (RFE) before they submit the DOL-certified LCA to USCIS in support of the H-1B petition. USCIS will give petitioners a period of 30 calendar days within which they must send in a DOL certified LCA in response to the RFE. We welcome this new procedure and hope that it will expedite current H1B processing.
Read the USCIS memo here (http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/New%20Structure/Press%20Releases/2009%20Press%20Releases/Nov%202009/Attachment%20to%20Temporary%20Acceptance%20of%20H-1B%20Petitions.pdf)

Possibly, USCIS will ask for your updated employment contract and job description. RFE is usually sent to your lawyer.
I don't know why they split your wife's application. Did you marry after you applied for GC?

I am planning to use AC21 to change employers. I signed G28 to allow the attorney for my current employer to represent me before USCIS. Since I signed G28, is it possible for my current employer to withdraw my I-485 application?
Please advise on this...
If I am not mistaken your 485 cannot be withdrawn by your employer after 180 days but they can withdraw your 140 which should not matter after 180 days. I am sure the pro's here will be able to confirm this.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply!
So the letter is just an employment continuation or verification letter and has nothing that states the spousal details or spouse's intention to accompany the H1 holder. I hope I got that right.
Thanks again!

Yes. I did contacted both Kerry and Brown's office last month (July end) for my EAD renewal application.
Both office staff were very receptive. Brown office has more than one person working on immigration matter....and I believe they were first to act on my case. I got EAD approval 4 days later.

Hi all,
I recently appeared for L1A visa (blanket petition) at Delhi Consulate. I already have travelled to the US on B1 Visa and currently hold a valid B1 Visa. I was asked the following questions:
Q1: What do you at 'xxx' (my company's name)?
Q2: What is your designation?
Q3: How long have you been with 'xxx' (my company's name)?
Q4: How long have you working in managerial role?
Q5: How many people report into you?
Q6: Will you be performing same duties in the US?
Q7: Will you have people reporting into you?
Q8: but you will be hiring or firing individuals? you will not be measuring individual's performances?
I have been working with my org. for over 7 years and have travelled in various countries in the past. This was my frist L1 Visa application. My designation is of a manager and I work with over 50+ clients for my domain. My role in the US was to manage a function in our company.
From what I understood of my conversation with the consul - since I do not and will not have people reporting into me or have direct monitoring of individual performances, I do not fit in the "manager" category for the L1A Petition
Towards the end of the interview consul said that your company should apply your visa in different category. I couldnt ask the consul which category specifically.
My company is now evaluating the option of re-applying the Visa through Blanket L1 B for me.
Can anyone guide me the possible interpretation of "another category" ?
Secondly, we have time constraints for the project for which I was travelling. Hence, Individual Petition will take a great deal of time. If my Visa is applied under L1B category what are chances of it getting rejected? considering the fact that my company feels that L1A is the right category for my Visa application. :confused:

Media Drive - not even 9000 diggs from US!!??
There's a thread on media coverage which also states that we can get a lot of coverage amongst people via Digg.com.
What is digg and how it works- (wikipedia)
Readers can view all of the stories that have been submitted by fellow users in the "digg/News/Upcoming" section of the site. Once a story has received enough "diggs", it appears on Digg's front page. Should the story not receive enough diggs, or if enough users report a problem with the submission, the story will remain in the "digg all" area, where it may eventually be removed.
The highest rated digg in last 7 days (with 8632 hits / diggs) is that of a iphone. Our issue could not even beat the new iphone release. Immigrationvoice has about 14893 members, 7939 active members. If each member does a digg for himself and other one for spouse, we should have atleast 14000 digg to keep our write ups LIVE, in the minds of all the people visiting this page.

Hi all,
What docs are required for re-entry of spouse on H4 visa. The primary applicant on H1 is not travelling.
1. Copy of I-797 of H1 visa holder.
2. Passport copy of H1 visa holder.
3. Recent pay stubs of H1 visa holder.
3. Marriage Certificate.
Am I missing something.
gchopes
Not sure you need any of 2, 3 or 4. However, it is very helpful to have a letter from the H1 employer saying that you are still employed by your company or whatever you work for and your spouse is currently on an H4 dependents visa.
My husband has found this has been adequate on many occasions.

Hi,
My wife's 485 is rejected with the following reason "The application/petition was filed on the outdated version of this form". The rejection notice has a receive date of July 1st 2010 and a LIN number. Now the problem-
My 485 was approved on July 8th, 2010 and I received a "Welcome to USA" notice on July 12th. My H1 has expired on July 14th, 2010 along with wife's H4 and our I-94's. We applied for both the H extensions in may. Now if we resubmit the 485 with the new application will the USCIS honor the July 1st receive date?
My main concern is on her status, any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
I assume you are concerned about your wife's status so you are specifically asking if USCIS would consider July 1st RD. Now if you file again they will not consider the July 1st RD. They will stamp the actual date that they receive. Don't worry about that. Your wife is covered by the H1/H4 extension filing, have you received the receipts for the H extension filings? I assume you would have, it is almost 2 months now. Don't worry your wife's status is all valid.
Stay cool and apply for I-485 for your wife ASAP.
Good luck

Apologies if I should have looked this up somewhere within IV .
Guess it is a simple question.
What does a soft LUD mean ? I have often read that term on the forum.
I at times see that something was updated on my case..."last updated date" but then there is no status update.....for example this happened on my I131 application on Feb 4, 2009
On the I485 I think it is just that they transferred it from one office to another as the status says.
