    Hi All,

    My Current Situation: I-140 approved on Jan 22, 2009 with company B, 7th year of my H1 ending July 2009, Current company B applied H1 extension, But H1 extension (No RFE just straight denied) - Denied based on "Old Company A"s I-485 - which was denied in June 26th 2008. Iam still in project and no issue of paystubs and all.

    Looks like USCIS didn�t considered my current company�s approved 1-140.

    Right now, Employer applied MTR (appeal) provided all documents.. like approved I-140 copy, LC copy and previous H1 copies.. etc.

    I don't have EAD.

    Please some one share their experience and suggestions:

    *Usually how much time they will take to respond this kind of Appeals (MTR).
    And also for safe side -- can I file another H1 in premum processing while this MTR is in pending.
    *If my MTR appeal decision getting delay... can I work for my employer even after July 13th until I get decision on my H1 Extension. Do I eligible for that or I need to go back India.

    Iam really worried, I got 2 younger kids.

    I request, Kindly give me your valuable advice.

    Thank You All,
    Wish Good

    I had a quick question to add to this....

    If one is on F1 and his/her spouse (who is on H1B and has filed for a Green Card) ends up with a current priority date, can the person on F1 file for the Green Card along with the spouse? Or does one have to be on H4 to ride along with the H1's COS?

    Appreciate your response.

    My lawyer had applied on August 25th for the LCA. We got to know on September 3rd that there was an issue with the FEIN. We emailed the required documents to DOL on September 4th.
    My H1 expires on September 30th and consequently my I94 on October 10th, so i'm a bit concerened.
    I will post an update when I hear something from DOL.

    Just want to confirm that I have till October 10th to get my petition to USCIS. Anyone?
    Also, do i have to leave the country by October 10th if I can't get the LCA issue fixed/ petition mailed?

    Congratulations moclutch! Sure sounds like one heck of a journey. And like you said, misery does love company - or at least eases a bit.

    Congrats again - time to celebrate! :) And good luck moving forward...

    I received my card production ordered email today. All thanks God for making all this possible. I came to the US in Jan 1995 on F1 to begin my undergrad, switched to H1 in 1998, had a GC PD of 2002, and now 14 years and a countless visa's later, I was greened today.

    I would not have made it through this journey without the expert advice on this forum to all the questions I asked - and just seeing everyone's contributions whether +ve or -ve to remind me that I am not in this thing alone.

    For those that are still on the journey - just hang in there and your time surely will come!

    I have received my GC on January 28th. My company filled the following with USCIS:

    I140 was filled on Nov. 21 2007 and Approved on Jan 24th 2008
    I485 was filled on Nov. 21 2007 and Approved on Jan 20th 2008

    Now... some people say to me to wait 180 days to quit my current job (which is paying me half of what I should be earning as a GC holder), some people say it is okay to leave at anytime....

    So, I don't know what to do, I pretend to become a citzen in 5 years also, and not sure if this will count bad towards that.

    I have some reasons to leave: sallary is low (they will not negociate more), wife is pregnant and I am getting a mortgage.

    Please advice.

    This is very risky, if not done correctly.

    Assume that you would got the I-797 and started working in the US, subsequently, when you go for H1-b stamping in India, high risk of rejection there. This is because B1/B2 has a non-immigrant intention and changing the status to H1-b within the US sends the wrong signal to the Consular officer during stamping.

    Correct thing to do would be go to India after getting I-797, get the H1-b stamped, re-enter US on H1 status. Everything would be alright.

    I agree with what Boreal said. Also, you cannot get a H1 B stamping in Canada or MExico, if you change from B1/B2 to H1. You have to go back to ur country of origin to get it stamped.

    The Other Immigrants (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703683804574533612324601766.html)
    Low quotas, long lines hurt U.S. competition for human capital.
    WSJ Editorial, Nov 18 2009

    The immigration debate has long been preoccupied with illegal aliens. But what about foreign-born professionals seeking green cards who stand in line and play by the rules? A new report by Stuart Anderson of the National Foundation for American Policy says the U.S. is mishandling this important human resource.

    A former official at the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Mr. Anderson focuses on foreign nationals from India, who fill nearly half of the annual quota for H1-B temporary work visas. Indian professionals who want to become permanent U.S. residents face a wait time of at least 12 years and as long as 20. "To put this in perspective," says the report, "children today in kindergarten may graduate from college by the time Indians who file new applications for an employment-based immigrant visa would receive a green card."

    One of Mr. Anderson's findings is that the multiyear waits aren't due to bureaucratic delays so much as to the impractical low annual limits on who can come. Under current law, no more than 140,000 employment-based green cards are issued each year. And since the spouses and children of these workers also count against the cap, the actual quota is much lower.

    Congress hasn't raised the annual cap since 1990. Over the past two decades U.S. GDP has risen by 64%, and the demand for skilled workers, notably in technical fields populated by foreign-born professionals, has risen dramatically. Yet our immigration policies pretend nothing has changed.

    "The problem facing skilled foreign nationals, employers and the U.S. economy is current law does not match the aspirations of these individuals or allow the country to harness their abilities," writes Mr. Anderson. "One result is many outstanding foreign nationals see potentially brighter futures in their home countries, leaving the America vulnerable to losing a pool of talent that has helped spur jobs, growth and innovation inside the United States."

    The costs of losing this human capital are high. Between 1990 and 2007, an astounding 25% of publicly traded companies in the U.S. that were started with venture capital had an immigrant founder. Many foreigners come initially to study or do research at our superior colleges and universities. But the barriers to remaining are forcing them out. A survey of 1,200 international students taken in March shows we can no longer take for granted that skilled immigrants will want to stay and work in America. Some 55% of Chinese, 53% of Europeans and 38% of Indian students worried about being able to obtain permanent residence in the U.S.

    Canada, Australia, the European Union and others have streamlined processes for hiring foreign workers to lure skilled immigrants away from the U.S. Unless Congress addresses these long wait times and low quotas, more immigrants will take the skills they acquire in U.S. universities and use them to help other nations prosper.

    Hi, we applied to transfer my wife's out of state driving license to CT state but the application was denied.
    The reasoning was that DMV's immigration check came back stating that her status is H4 but the documents we are carrying are EAD, I 485 receipt etc. She is using her EAD so we didn't renew her H4 along with my H1B.

    At infopass we were told there is not much USCIS can do since we are still waiting for adjustment (I 485 pending) to Permanent residence status. DMV doesn't buy this argument as they insist her status should be 'pending application' .
    We (immigrant community) will probably face more and more of these issues as long as we have retrogression.

    Any one faced similar situation.? I have contacted Senators office regarding this bureaucracy and still waiting for response.

    radhay..i guess it differs from state to state. i was in a similar situation..h4 before and now working on EAD. i got my dirving license renewed in CA without any problem..just showed them my EAD card.

    Every lawyer is a businessman. And every businessman has a success story to tell to advertise himself. And you are unknowingly doing viral marketing. Look up on Google what viral marketing it. Has any of these lawyers done viral marketing of IV or greencard backlog action items on their forums and newsletters? So why are you advertising them? You go around town asking lawyers if they did any case successfully Showing a Valid Employer-Employee Relationship. And you will mostly get Yes answer so that they get more business. So why promoting only one lawyer.

    Not sure why some folks make a big deal about some lawyer getting some advertisement. I don't work or favor any specific lawyer. I am posting some information that could be helpful to the community. If you read through that posting, you will see some smart wordings that could shut out USCIS memo.

    Consider it for its content rather than who is writing it. For me IV is the primary forum. All other websites just supplement the information. We should welcome information wherever it comes from if we can benefit from it.

    Thanks to everyone who replied.

    I have got sufficient replies so it looks like it is OK to do both H1 Stamping and landing together.

    Do you have any suggestions for the canadian places. I heard Vancouver is popular.
    Is one place better than another one..

    Any info will be really helpful

    No, I don't have any agreement with my employer. The only noncompete is between my employer and the vendor. The client is happy to work through different vendor.

    Keep both applications going. Yes you would need a physical copy of labor to file the second one. You can later withdraw the first one when your second I-140 with a better priority date is approved. You can also interfile the I485 when your second I-140 is approved (based on your own labor). The only caveat is your priority date must be current when you interfile. Check Pearson Memo on Interfiling.

    Do the following:

    If you receive physical copy before AUG 17:
    1. File I-140/I-485 with your OWN labor before AUG-17.
    2. Do not apply for EAD and AP on the second one.
    3. Withdraw the first I-485 application when your I-140 on the second one is approved. (This will give you better priority date and no hassle of two applications)
    4. You can continue using EAD/AP filed with the first applications.


    If you don't receive the physical copy before AUG-17

    1. File I-140 whenever you receive the physical copy.
    2. In the mean while your current I-140/I485 application based on substituted
    labor will be processed as usual.
    3. You can receive EAD/AP (Try not to use it though !!)
    4. Whenever your second I-140 is approved and your priority date is current interfile the I-485 based on substituted labor with your approved I-140 with better PD.

    Good Luck.


    My company ( biggie US firm) filed 140 and 485 on a substituted LC on July 2.

    Now my own LC which was pending in BEC (and which has better PD) is approved. Can I file 140 on this? Since substitution is risky, I want to use this 140 for my 485 (over the substituted one) ? How do I do that?

    Do I need physical copy of my approved LC to file 140?

    Replies will be greatly appreciated
