Folks,
This message is for people who left US before AP was approved.
My wife left for India in Nov'08. Although, we received letter from USCIS that her AP application was approved there was a glitch in their system because we received a RFE after she left. Anyways. We responded to her RFE for photos and we received her approved AP in Dec'08. I left US after I received her AP.
At the POE (Newark, NJ) the IO did ask us questions about my work, her visa status, etc. nothing major. The IO only requested for my passport/AP and for my wife her H4/AP/passport. We were then taken to a separate area and asked to wait. There were two IOs looking at our passport/AP. BTW, we both don't have H1 and H4 visas stamped in our passport. To his satisfaction, he stamped AOS on our I94 cards. The I94 expiration was one year from the date of entry. To my surprise, he gave both AP copies to me. Anyways.
I wanted to share this experience because there are ton of people wondering what to do if they need to travel and they don't have approved AP in hand.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

It is not clear to me why there is inconsistency on whatever they reply for the processing of NSC-->CSC-->NSC cases. Sometime I hear NSC mentions that these transfer cases would be processed based on CSC processing date (which doen't make sense because CSC stopped processing of I-485 caes, so how CSC processing date would move and the transferred case is waiting in NSC not in CSC) and sometime I hear NSC mentions those cases would be processed based on NSC processing date. Which one is actually true ?
I am wondering so far have we seen any approval from NSC for NSC-->CSC-->NSC transferred cases whose processing date RD/ND falls in 2007 (after the 2006 processing date of CSC).

Friends,
Does anyone know if people who've filed for I-485 can claim unemployment insurance?......The client where I was working cancelled my project due to budget cuts :(....I was wondering if I can claim unemployment till I find a new job. Does any one know any non-desi companies hiring in the Michigan, Ohio, Illinois or Midwest in general?.....I am PMI certified Project Manager with J2EE background. Any prompt help would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
I am looking to switch employers. Although the job descriptions are pretty similar ( C coding, design, protocols etc.), my PERM was filed for Computer Software Engineer-Applications whereas the new one falls under Computer Software Engineer, Systems Software. Is this a risk during I-485 adjudication. Also my new salary is 50% higher than my original PERM salary (It has been almost 4 years since my original PERM).
Thanks.
Descriptions look similar but what you need to check is the SOC code are a close match or not. That is important. Regarding the salary difference taking inflation into account and salary hikes ove the 4 ye4ar speriod you should not have any problem. Check this below link for AC21.

I am on H1B visa. Can I trade in Forex using FOREX or any other online broker?
Yes, one can trade on H-1B status, but can not claim trader status for tax filing. For more details on trader status for tax filing, contact your CPA.
Also, I need to trade in it multiple times on a single day. That's the nature of this business if you want to make money.
correction. I would say this -
That's the nature of this business if you want to make or lose money.
Good Luck.

You are not the primary, right? Your job has nothing to do with the GC case. So you can do whatever regarding your job.

LA OPINION (Editorial): The time is now!
|2010-11-16 | La Opini�n
The time is now! - La Opini�n - noticias locales, nacionales e internacionales desde Los �ngeles - impre.com (http://www.impre.com/laopinion/opinion/2010/11/16/the-time-is-now-222571-1.html#commentsBlock)
Democrats return back to a lame-duck Congressional session in which they have a majority in both chambers. This is the moment to make the effort to pass the DREAM Act and open up the path for hundreds of thousands of young people to enter the university or serve in the Armed Forces.
Major legislation on the agenda between now and the end of the year includes making permanent the Bush-era tax cuts, passing the fiscal year 2011 spending bill or at least passing a stopgap measure to continue to fund the government, extending unemployment benefits, and addressing cuts in Medicare payments to doctors.
There are many important issues on the floor and the position that will be taken by the Republicans is still unclear given they will have control of the House of Representatives in two months.
Despite this, we believe the DREAM Act must be added to the mix. In these past two years of Democratic control, the concerted push for comprehensive immigration reform never materialized. At a minimum, during these last weeks of legislative control, they should seek passage of legislation that would allow undocumented high school graduates � who have grown up in the U.S. � to continue their studies or to join the military.
Similar efforts a few months back failed because critics unjustly denounced the bill as an "amnesty," as if these young people were responsible for having been brought to the U.S. by their parents. Other critics charged that the bill would prove to be a magnet for immigrant parents to bring young children here. Such criticism ignores the real reasons for immigration.
This legislative session is filled with dozens of legislators who have either lost their reelection or are planning to retire. They have nothing to lose by doing the right thing and voting for a bill that will help the economy in the short and long term by preparing our country�s future labor force. And, at the same time, they will be strengthening the military.
Political savvy and determination will be needed to pass this legislation. Opportunities exist to attach it to other bills if it appears that it cannot be approved on its own. With so much at stake , the time to act is now!

Thank you uma001 for your response. My H1-B is valid until Nov 2010. As per your advice, I need get things started. Its so frustrating - job, employer, gc, being away from kids.
Since your spouse is working, You can look for consulting position in east coast ,get the project and file for H1 ,file for green card simultaneosuly assuming your 5th year completes by November 2010 (not 6th year, you mentioned H1 valid until November 2010). You still have 6 full months time.

I applaud IV's core member's achievement so far. I have been participating from Sunjoshi's S1932 thread to ISNAmerica.org and finally was happy when I saw IV progressing.As busy professionals what IV's core member's have achieved is commendable.
Looking back @ S1932 and this comprehensive Immigration reform bill. I strongly feel that we should concentrate on backing a bill meant only for legal Immigration. Anti Illegal immigration forces, make no mistake are all anti legal Immigration too. So these folks make lot of noice and have found means like budget reconciliation and amnesty to block our reforms. Majority of Americans and the lawmakers are pro-Legal Immigration (We have seen this when Senator Byrd amendment was voted out when the senate was discussing S1932).It does not mean we should not take any part in Comprehensive Immigration reform or similar bills. In fact we should all still send faxes call lawmakers and be vocal as much as we can but the main
aim has to be a bill dealing with legal Immigration only. One Other point I would like to put forth is we should Initiate a "for Legal Immigration only" bill in the house first so will not be jubilant when it passes in senate and then go in depression when it fails in committee or the house. If Dem's come to power in the house the scenario is going to be very different after the November elections but for now this is all we can do for the few days remaining before the election.

If you have a copy of filled-up I-131, look at question 5 in part 3 in the 2nd page. That will tell you where the AP document will be sent.

Please close this thread also.
That question 5 should not responded if you are applying for AP.

I know that an H1B may be extended beyond the 6 year limit as long as the there has been at least a Labor Cert pending for the past 365 days. So basically, as long as you have a LC pending, the H1B is increased in yearly increments until the GC is approved or denied.
However:
1) Once I-140 is approved, do they automatically extend the H1B (the next time it is due for an extension) by three years?
2) Once you're in that "extension zone" (i.e. past your 6 year limit because of a pending GC application) of your H1B can you still switch jobs? (obviously your new company would have to file a new Labor cert once again for you)?
Thanks.

A penny saved is 'far better than' a penny earned because you don't have to pay taxes for the penny you saved whereas you have to pay taxes for the one you earned!

Will I be automatically resident of state where exactly my university is ? I know it is mandatory to attend classes in person on F1. Can you please advise ? How is residency considered ?
Thank you very much.
Its illegal and you can not attend only online course with F1 visa.
