Just Wallpaper Inside

Agree with you Infinite_Patience_GC.......for desis I would not recommend doing a full time MBA unless you get into top 10. Foreign students are having a hard time finding a job even at top 10 schools these days.

Although one good thing about part time is that it is less risky and usually lot of big companies help in reimbursing some of the tuition.

To the brave and fighting. People lets give them a hand of applause.

but unless someone personally recommends it is difficult to know which ones are good. even large well-known firms have made many errors, even after charging high fees

You are 100% right. Choosing an attorney is always kind of a gamble.
That shouldn't be but it is the reality. From my own experience, an attorney is as good as the job he does for you.
You can find an attorney who has worked wonders for many people and...
he screws up your application (that happened to me :mad: :eek: ).

Here you go!

I have Sept 2004 date , I can not vote in both Polls

Hey,

My I-140 was filed in June 2006. It was based on the LC Substitution from the same company..but filed with the copy of the LC. It has been still pending for more than a year with TSC. Last inquired with USCIS in Jan 07, USCIS came back to us and said it requires an additional review. But the LUD remain the same as June 2006.

My lawyer said she will another inquiry with USCIS in August 2007 as 6 months waiting period will be over from last inquiry....

In my case, I never received the original PERM LC. Perhaps it got lost in the mail or they forgot totally about the issue that's why he had to file with a copy.

Hi,

I received an RFE on my H1-B application this year with the following questions. My H1-B sponsorer is currently discussing with the attorneys to better handle this situation. I would appreciate if someone can respond me how to handle this scenario properly.

Following are the context from the RFE document.
---------------------------------------------------------

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is in receipt of your Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker (Form I-129). Additional evidence is required in order to process your application:

Y ur company provides IT Consulting services. The record does not establish where, when, or for whom the beneficiary will work. USCIS regulations at 8 CFR part 214.2(h)(2)(i)(B) provide that an H petition which requires services to be performed in more than one location must include an itinerary with the dates and locations of the services to be provided.

Submit an itinerary of the work sites the beneficiary is assigned to, to include specific dates, locations, and the name of each work site where the beneficiary�s services will be delivered.

Submit a letter from each work site that identifies the name of the project and beneficiary is assigned to, the name of the vendor through whom the beneficiary�s services are provided, and whether the work site has the ability to assign the beneficiary to a different employer. Each letter must provide the address and telephone number where a contact can be reached.

For each of the beneficiary�s work assignments, identify the succession of consulting or staffing businesses involved in the assignment of the beneficiary to each ultimate work location. Include the related succession of contracts and work orders. The contracts and work orders must provide the address and telephone number where a contact can be reached. All contracts must be signed.

For each of the beneficiary�s work assignments, submit a letter from the business with ultimate control and authority over the beneficiary�s work. The letter must address the title and duties of the beneficiary�s position, the minimum education requirement for the contracted position, and the name and title of the person who primarily supervises or will supervise the beneficiary at the work site. This information is necessary to determine whether the actual duties to be performed under contract for an end client are duties associated with the specialty occupation sought.

If the beneficiary will work on an in-house project, submit evidence describing the in-house project, the length of time the beneficiary is expected to work on the project, team members assigned to the project, their titles and duties, and invoices showing the sale of the product to your customers. Explain the qualification necessary for the project and how the beneficiary is qualified for the project. Provide copies of client contracts with details that specify the in-house project name, location, definite starting and ending dates. All contracts should be current and include signatures and contact information from representatives of both companies.

This kind of H1 RFE is common this year. Employer needs to send the end-client letter for RFE.

Do we need to go back and renew again after obtaining the new EAD ?

Yep - got mine 2 months back. Docs to carry

- Original social security card.
- Original EAD card
- The first lady asked me to bring the employment letter. I did not have it with me, I went home to get it and got in another line, that dude did not even look at it.
- Passport and I-94 (They did not check this) I took it just in case
- Cash - 25$

You will get a 5 year license, but it will say that you are a temp visitor till your EAD expires. You will have to take your EAD in when the new EAD comes in.

Let me know if you need further details.

i dont see a poll :) Are you expecting every one to post on this thread ?

Gurus, help needed urgently - I had mailed my I-765 on Saturday via express delivery to the Texas Service Center as I live in NJ. The address I sent it to was
USCIS
Texas Service Center
P.O Box 851041
Mesquite, TX 75185-1041

I checked my USPS tracking status, and it says the following

We attempted to deliver your item at 10:33 AM on June 23, 2008 in MESQUITE, TX 75185 and a notice was left. A second delivery attempt will be made. If unsuccessful, we will hold it for five business days and then it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

Has this happened with anyone else? I cross checked the address and its correct. So what should be done in this case?

Saloni->
The above mentioned address is correct for USPS deliveries. Getting confirmation from P O BOX is a problem anyway.

If for any reason you get the parcel back, I would advise you to Fedex it

USCIS (non USPS Carrier)
Texas Service Center
4141 North St. Augustine Road
Dallas, TX 75227

I live in GA and I will be using FedEx.

The link on USCIS page sends only the user id thru email. It does not send password.

Once you get your userid. Click on the forgot password link again and enter both your userid and email address, it will send you a link to reset your password.

If you just enter the email address, it will only send the userid.

Try this. I helped one of my friend yesterday to get his password reset.

just got my Labor approved a couple week ago and now i want to file I-140 premium processing. But my lawyer's not allow me to do that coz once my I-140 approve i can't file my 8 th year extension. My 7th years H1B will expire on Aug 30, 2007.

I'm very confused now, on my understanding once i get my I-140 approve, i'm eligible to get my H1B 3 years extension.

FYI: i chose CP opotion, is that make me not eligible to get my H1B extension once my I-140 approve?

Please help and Big thanks

I have applied (e-filed) in Mid June--> got receipts in 3 days--> biometrics notice in 1 week after filing--> Finished Biometrics on 3rd July--> Received the cards today.

Thanks kanshul for ur reply. What is your suggestion for me.
Should I stick onto my current employer.
Do you have any clue when will be the date current for me.Any chance in this year?
My clients have made my life hell forcing me to join in the company as permanent.

Can we please close this thread? There are already several going


No thread for approval cases. Most of the discussion was on receipt thread. So it is better to serve this purpose.

5. My wife has an H1 also, so as she used her EAD(which came as my dependent) not with the company which hold's her H1, in this case what would be the status of her H1, can she quit her present job and do another job using her H1, is that H1 still valid.

I think she is ok to switch to H1 but you all need to go out of US & Enter with that H1B Visa for switching plus she has to work with H1B sponcer employer.

Any way share us output after consulting good attorney.

Hi,

My educational background is Bachelor of Engginerring in Computer science.

I came to United states in December 2006. when i came i was having six years of experience.

My employer applied for my Labor in 2nd week of August 2008. After 2 weeks my attorney asked for a self affidavit having details about my work experience from 2001 till 2006 and also he gave me a format.

I prepared one affidavit for one employer ( totaly five affidavit for five employers between 2001 to 2006 ). I was team member in First and second Employer, i was a Team Lead in third employer, I was a Project Leader in Fourth and Fifth employer.

When i prepared the self affidavit i made a mistake, I gave the correct dates, correct designation ( Which is in my offer and reliving letter ) but i kept same responsiblities for all employers.

I didnot get any issues in my Labor. My Labor got approved in March 2009. Now my employer filed I - 140 in the end of september. Two days back he said that there is a RFE regarding my I - 140 case. THe RFE contains the Below Details.


"SINCE THE EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT THE BENEFICIARY DOES NOT HOLD AN ADVANCED DEGREE, IT MUST ESTABLISH THAT HIS POST-BACCALAUREATE EXPERIENCE WAS PROGRESSIVE. HOWEVER, HIS SWORN AFFIDAVITS INDICATES THAT WHILE HIS JOB TITLES CHANGED, HIS DUTIES IN 2006 WERE STILL THE SAME AS THEY WERE IN 2001 FOR EMPLOYER 2. PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW HIS EXPERIENCE WAS PROGRESSIVE"

I explained the suitation to my employer but he is saying there is only 50:50 chance for I-140 to get approved.

What will happen now ?

What type of document i should provide to USCIS for this query?

Will my I - 140 get approved ?

Thanks & Regards,
Raj..

This is the first case I am seeing like this. USCIS decided to scrutinize to maximum extent so that not many H1 guys get green cards
