This is like giving them a small window to file within 10 days in the old rate other wise....pay the big chunk.
Good tactics....it will be difficult for the people who do not have any medical appointments and other documents that need to come from other countries !!

Guys!
Is there someone in NY to call on Mrs. Clinton and apprise her of this mess of USCIS.If not directly may be get in touch with powerful indian community leaders who can talk to her about this matter.At least she can write a letter similar to Lofgren...
Keep up the spirits MAN !!
Helping us is not good election strategy. Bringing amendments in favor of family immigration was good lection strategy. Talking against outsourcing is good election strategy.

gcformeornot, I don't see what's incorrect in my post. The point about intra-company transfer was implicit in my post since everyone knows L1 is for such transfers. So that should have been understood without being mentioned. My point was that the denial for extension could have been due to the USCIS looking carefully at the job description again and determining that it wasn't really a specialty occupation. So I was particularly pointing out the 'job description' that goes with an L1 visa. I was also saying the same thing as you i.e. the job should be that of an expert in a particular domain which is not readily available. For example, why would a company transfer a java programmer instead of directly hiring one in the U.S?
It's another thing that TCS, Infosys and the likes of those have abused this visa and destroyed its credibility. That issue needs to be looked at by the lawmakers and it is in genuine employers/employees' interests.

This news might not be directly related to our cause but its very much relevant. Here also, they can come with similar results saying that out of all the IT jobs in US, x % have been gone to immigrants where x > 50. Opponents of our cause may use this gainst us.

Write to the Indian Consulate and check for a solution with them. They will have definitely handled these types of cases before.
Thanks for replying...
I have already renewed my passport in April 2010 and corrected father name ...
I am worried for USCIS old forms before RFE for 485, my father name shows as <lastName> then <FirstName>.

I don't think that is possible......unless you filed it and it got returned...
Situation - During the month of July, I filed my 485 when all categories were current. Got my receipt too. Missed wife's application because her papers were not ready. Now priority dates have retrogressed again.
Saving grace - Our H1/H4 are in order with many long years left on them.
Question - Can I file my wife 485 now as a dependent, even though "my" PD is not current yet. The core point is that, does the concept of PD applies to the dependent 485 applications too?

Does that also apply to a case where the person is employed in another country and getting paid there? What about a case where the H4 holder travels to their home country and works for 3 months at a local company and gets paid for it?
Correct me if I am wrong but I would think the rule only applies if you work and earn money in the US.
You are correct. An H4 cannot work in the US if they are getting paid on US payroll. They can work as long as they do NOT get paid in US. They can telecommute for a company in India for all you want, and get paid in India in Indian currency. The H4 holder will have to file taxes in India though.

Don’t worry… there is an option to contest the decision.. you could use an MTR.. Hope the below info helps
ALL Gurus,
My name is Sai. I am very confused and need your advice on how to handle my current issue with I140 and H1b status.
Issue Details:
1) Applied GC EB2-RIR on JAN 2005
2) Applied for I140 on July 4th 2007 and I485 on August 22nd 2007.
3) Received EAD and AP for both myself and my Wife.
2) Got RFE I-140 on DEC 10th 2007, asking for Company financial documents and my Education details. but my I485 in still pending.
3) Responded to RFE with mentioned documents on Jan 30th 2008
4) Finally I-140 Denied on FEB 29th 2008 and Deniel notice is not yet received. I dont know the reason for deniel yet. whether its an company issue or my education related, I still dont know.
5) I am on H1B since 2001, applied for 8th year extension (regular) on 19th FEB 2008 (10 days before to my I140 deniel), as of now receipt not received. My current H1b expires on 29th March 2008 and my 1-140 denied on 29th of FEB 2008.
6) My wife is on H1b Visa.
Questions based on my Issue:
1) Since my I140 got denied, is there any impact on my 8th year H1b Extension? Am I going to be Out of Status? If so please advice on how to retain my status.
Apply for an MTR as soon as you receive your denial notice. You get abt 30 days to file for an MTR.. and based on the MTR receipt notice you can get your extension
2) What are the options open to me, since my I140 is denied. Which one is better : MTR or APPEAL?
3) Can I apply for a new Labor (PERM)? If YES:
1. Can I apply for new LABOR before APPEAL or should be applied after the APPEAL.
2. Can I apply for LABOR with a new employer or only with Current employer? and what about my 9th year H1b extension if I file the labor with a new employer?
First of all apply for an MTR and based on the reason for denial decide the future course of action (if you the reason for denial is education.. then you might face the same problem with the new employee)
4) If my Deniel is on my education related, then Can my attorney file an MTR and request the USCIS to consider my case as a EB3? if requested what are the chances of USCIS approving my I-140?
Use a good attorney... Using a company might hamper your MTR process as these guys hide a lot of factual information. Yes there is a possibility for requesting to change the category of the case
5) If the USCIS is OK for converting from EB2 to EB3, will the same application's applied ealier for 485/EAD/AP are valid or not?
No idea on this..
I need your suggestion. Please.. advice me on what steps need to be taken to carefully handle I140 deniel and also to maintain my status in USA.
Apply for an MTR and at the same time apply for a new LC because an MTR can take anywhere between 3 – 18 months

My lawyer told me that 140 PP can't be filed with a copy of LC. They say you can only file regular processing if you don't have the original LC.
She said, it requires some additional processing by USCIS in case of copy of LC that requires more time and therefore they can't process it in 15 days.
This is exactly why a successor in interest I-140 cannot be premium processed.
Original poster, as long as you have one I-140 receipted/approved with original LC, you should be able to send that receipt/approval notice copy and ask that they honor your new I-140 with copy of LC

If you withdraw 485 now, you can reapply after getting married, only if your current GC sponering employer willing to give you the job offer (and offer letter) as per the terms and condition of LC and 140 at that time you re apply 485 in future. If you lose the employment relationship with your sponser, you have to start from scratch (LC-140-485), if you find another sponser. Only thing you can retain is PD. All other, you have to start from grounf zero.
You have to make your choice.

You do not need Biometrics uploaded for approval. My case was approved without it however they will only send cards after Biometrics are updated.

Fellows,
I had my PERM labour and I-140 approved with priority date Dec 2005 in EB2 category. I changed my job in April and was hoping to get the priority date transferred to with new labour and I-140 from new employer. I have not started the GC process with new employer and am in good terms with old employer. With the priority dates being current for July (and probably for August too), what are the options I have:
1. Filing new labour and pray to get approved before end of August. Then file for I-140 and I-485 concurrently. Do I stand a chance there, with advertisement publishing and other formalities?
2. Can I file my I-485 with old employer while working with new employer. What are the documents I would need from old employer.
3. If answer to question 2 is 'yes', do I need to go back and work for old employer ever (before or after getting green card)?
Thanks

Dear Immigration voice members,
We have made good progress in our membership base over the past 2 weeks. We are now more than 13,320 strong. Our members are our greatest asset and our grassroots efforts make us unique. It would be in the best interest of this community to use our energies by telling more people about this effort so that more members could join this effort.
During the past 2 weeks we had about 20 media leads due to the efforts of our members and the media drive. This has translated into about 10 media interviews that are mostly on a national scale. There are some more media interviews in the process and we hope to have them published soon. Let us continue this media drive with enthusiasm.
Our webfaxes, phone and email campaign has also been working. The response to it has not been as per our expectations yet. However even with limited participation we did hear comments about our campaign from some Senator offices. Hope more members take part in these campaigns. There have been some technical errors faced by few members this week. We have solved those iissues.We are also now going to pay more for a �Premium� service (3 times we pay now) so that the webfaxes can be sent smoothly without �backlogs� in the system.
Its been more than a week since we started our funding drive for the CIR bill in Senate. We want to go all out with all our might and resources to get our provisions in the new CIR bill. As members have already seen how much this bill hurts our interests and if we do not do something ourselves we do not have much support from outside. The H1B increase provision has much attention, support for various lobbying groups and opposition at the same time from various anti-immigrant organizations. However our provisions and cause require much needed attention and support in order for us to succeed. Our cause is just and few technical changes can very well fix the problems faced by 1.1 million high-skilled applicants waiting for their greencards. For most lawmaker high skilled immigration issues only meant increasing H-1B numbers. Most lawmakers are now aware of employment based green card issues and are aware or organized effort called Immigration Voice. We have been able to convince large technology and healthcare companies/groups to recognize that employment based green card delays is a massive issue. But this is not enough for our provisions to come on the floor and be passed. Tremendous investment in lobbying efforts is required in the current CIR that is a disastrous bill for our community.
There is a possibility that some of our provisions may get included in this CIR. Some of the amendments on Thomas already have some of our provisions along with H1B provisions. However the chance of those amendments passing is not certain.We are working hard to get something done. IV team is committed to explore every possibility and actively working towards that end. But please understand that it is not easy to get something done. There are hurdles we face due to the politics of the situation and intense lobbying of anti-immigrant organizations that are well funded. This is a hard reality. To get something done, it is of utmost importance that more members actively participate in this effort, contribute again and get new members to join and contribute to Immigration Voice. Each member visiting this forum needs to understand that it is your responsibility to actively participate in this effort because this is your effort, because this effort will solve problems that are yours and mine.
Due to the hard work of immigration voice and its members over the past 1.5 year, many lawmakers are now ready to listen and do the needful for us. We are also working with several like minded organizations and groups to help our community. But that is not enough to get our provisions passed with a majority vote. It can be because we have not yet done our part to the extent it is required to collectively petition lawmakers with our grievances. This is one more reason why more active participation and contribution is required.
The point is that Immigration Voice is doing everything that is possible. IV Core team member�s green card application is also pending and like other members, IV core team members are very passionate and motivated about solving the green card problems. We work hard during our regular work hours and on weekends, take vacations to travel on IV work and pay for the trip from our own pockets. We do this because we are also in this greencard mess like everyone else, and we feel responsible and commited to this effort. We all know that it is difficult to change things in Washington, especially when we are a small group. But we have experienced that it is possible that we can get our provisions passed. Immigration Voice needs more resources and this effort needs more active members. To achieve this, we need more resources in terms of contribution from all our members. (Note: Immigration Voice is Tax exempt under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, since Immigration Voice is not an organization as described in section 170(c) of the code, donors may not deduct contributions that have been made) Immigration Voice would appeal all new members to please contribute and of the members who have already contributed in the past to please consider contributing again.
With all our hard work over the past 1.5 year, we are well poised to make a difference and represent the high-skilled immigrant community in DC. Media also calls us for comments on any Immigration related news story. Other organizations and groups contact us for collaboration and to seek help. Many lawmaker offices now know us and our cause. And there is a lot that has happened since we started. Most of these things we are not able to disclose on the open forums. But please understand that we need more funds to continue this effort so that we could all see our provisions into law. Immigration Voice is not about one, five twenty of fifty of us. It is about all of us currently in the queue and those that are about to join the queue. Lobbying is very expensive and if we have hired the top lobbyists there is to help us, there are investments we need to make for it too. Now, if this is any indication of how far we have come, I assure all members that we can do it, together.
In the past 2 weeks we got contributions ranging mostly between $10 - $100 and few $200 from roughly 100 members. I�m sure we all can do much better than that. Such amount can at best support hosting this website, pay for webfaxes and buy few hours of lobbying time from the best lobbyists there is in this country. Lobbying is the most important part of our effort and it can make a difference for our provision. Getting an amendment from a Senator�s office on Thomas is not our aim. We need to work hard to get it on the floor and be voted by a majority. This is a big task and huge lobbying effort is required if we have to go all out to get something done in this CIR bill.
Please be assured that IV core team is doing whatever is possible with the limited resources. And regardless of what happens in the next few months, Immigration voice would urge all members and readers of these forums to please contribute to this effort. Because what IV core team will be able to achieve will ultimately depend on how much trust you put in this effort.
Your IV team

(Note: Immigration Voice is Tax exempt under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, since Immigration Voice is not an organization as described in section 170(c) of the code, donors may not deduct contributions that have been made) Immigration Voice would appeal all new members to please contribute and of the members who have already contributed in the past to please consider contributing again.
With all our hard work over the past 1.5 year, we are well poised to make a difference and represent the high-skilled immigrant community in DC. Media also calls us for comments on any Immigration related news story. Other organizations and groups contact us for collaboration and to seek help. Many lawmaker offices now know us and our cause. And there is a lot that has happened since we started. Most of these things we are not able to disclose on the open forums. But please understand that we need more funds to continue this effort so that we could all see our provisions into law. Immigration Voice is not about one, five twenty of fifty of us. It is about all of us currently in the queue and those that are about to join the queue. Lobbying is very expensive and if we have hired the top lobbyists there is to help us, there are investments we need to make for it too. Now, if this is any indication of how far we have come, I assure all members that we can do it, together.
In the past 2 weeks we got contributions ranging mostly between $10 - $100 and few $200 from roughly 100 members. I�m sure we all can do much better than that. Such amount can at best support hosting this website, pay for webfaxes and buy few hours of lobbying time from the best lobbyists there is in this country. Lobbying is the most important part of our effort and it can make a difference for our provision. Getting an amendment from a Senator�s office on Thomas is not our aim. We need to work hard to get it on the floor and be voted by a majority. This is a big task and huge lobbying effort is required if we have to go all out to get something done in this CIR bill.
Please be assured that IV core team is doing whatever is possible with the limited resources. And regardless of what happens in the next few months, Immigration voice would urge all members and readers of these forums to please contribute to this effort. Because what IV core team will be able to achieve will ultimately depend on how much trust you put in this effort.
Your IV team

After PERM and 140 approval (making sure past approved 140/PD are indicated) - do I need to file a fresh 485?
Thanks for any responses!
