Clearly, legal, skilled immigrants from countires like India, China, Mexico and Phillipines are already facing 5-7 years backlogs and this bill, by reducing quotes from 140K to only 90K, is going to make this problem worse!!! To relieve this problem, they should've expanded quotas (atlteast temporarily), made soft countrycaps, and exempted dependents, but they are going in the totally opposite direction.
I read the bill posted for IV, and on page 259 it says for first 5 years after enactment, level of EB immigrants will be at 2005 levels (which was 246K)
90K will for for pending EB applicants, while ATLEAST 10K will for exceptional aliens in nonimmigrant status under section 101(a)(15)(Y). This means that these "exceptional aliens" will have a new quota of 246K-90K= 156K a year, while the qouta for existing EB immigrants will be reduced by 50K, thereby accentuating the horrific backlog that already
exists...
Question is, who are these "exceptional aliens" under section 101(a)(15)(Y)??

Usually, USCIS comes close to a grinding halt during the holiday season. People who see some progress in their applications during this period should consider themselves lucky. I would say people shouldn't bother too much until beginning of next year and should enjoy the holidays without any undue stress or tension.

and since you applications are not being filed with I-485 you will have to pay the new fee.
I dont think that is the case please refer to question 37 in FAQ 3.

Hi Perm,
When I requested the company they sent me the "Wage report" form.
I am trying to understand if this is really the "unemployment wage report"?, Is there a specific form number that I need look for and request the company to send me the specific form. It would be helpful if there is specific information related to this form.
Thanks a lot for all your help and valuable information.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks & Regards,
Chak
The Consulate only asks wage report for your company.It will not ask for entire state of California.The Wage Report you company send is enough but one more time just cross check with your company attorney before sending them to consulate.

United States Code
TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > � 1154. Procedure for granting immigrant status
...
(j) Job flexibility for long delayed applicants for adjustment of status to permanent residence
A petition under subsection (a)(1)(D) of this section for an individual whose application for adjustment of status pursuant to section 1255 of this title has been filed and remained unadjudicated for 180 days or more shall remain valid with respect to a new job if the individual changes jobs or employers if the new job is in the same or a similar occupational classification as the job for which the petition was filed.
So the 180 days count starts from the I-485 RD. Not even notice date.

Hi all,
This year I got my H1B approved with start date Oct 1st 2007 through a consultancy. I had also applied for GC in July (as derivative) and got my EAD October last week.
The consultancy hasn't placed me on project so far (it's been more than a month) , and I am concerned , if this period of "no pay" will affect my GC process in anyway.:(
The consultancy wants me to get an SSN now, because a couple of their clients want to know the SSN number before considering for projects.
Would getting an ssn number based on the H1B effect me in anyway later on.....in case it takes longer for the consultancy to assign me a project?:confused:
In the mean time I have been looking for jobs in my area , and if I find one before the consultancy assigns a project, I have decided to go ahead and use my EAD card.. and get SSN based on EAD.
Could someone please please let me know if there is any effect on GC if I get an SSN on H1B...or if I use EAD to get an SSN would it invalidate my H1B?:confused:
I would much rather be safe than sorry.
Thank you all for ur replies...
you can use your EAD to obtain SSN. using EAD for SSN purpose will not invalidate your H1-B status.

HI,
My company filed my Perm on Jun 4th 08 but it is not yet approved. My H1B is in its 6th year and will end in July 09. I was wondering if I would get an extension , even if my Perm gets denied for some reason.
I just want to prepare for the worst case. Can any one please help with some information.
What are my options to get a H1B extension.
Thank you,
If your PERM is pending when the time comes for H1 extension, you can apply for a 1 year 7th year H1 extension, based of pending Labor and waiting more then 365 days.
If you PERM is denied. And you have neared the time of expiry of current H1, then its not possible to apply for H1 7th year extension. Because there is no grounds for extension.
Options:
1)Change the status from H1 to F1 or B1, until the time your PERM is approved, then come back to H1.
2) Go to your home country and return after 365, but you would be subjected to quota.

H4 people used to use TaxID instead of SSN in their tax returns (joint filing for ex.). What do they use when they get SSN after EAD ? Do they use SSN or just the Tax ID. Is there any requirement that they inform IRS that they got SSN and start using it instead ?

USCIS might be processing the applications in the order of recipt date
(need not adjudicate the application which is based on priority date)
So, i think USCIS can process applications without priority date being current.

Ok, this is a tough'ie.
You might be ok, but let me explain. There 2 rules that play-in in this scenario. One is " last action ", the other is " effectve date of your new I-797 ". If the start/effective date of your new I-797 is later than your last action i.e your entry in the USA, then technically your new I-94 which you got from your new I-797 will kick-in from its effective date making your stay in USA legal till its end. Now, if the start/effective date of your new I-797 started before you entered USA using your OLD I-797 (concequently got short I-94 validity) that will control your legal stay period ( as per last action rule ).
That being said, this is very tricky situation, though arguably valid as per different memo's of USCIS. So it is in your best interest, either to go with this interpretation and do nothing if the first case that i explained above is true or play safe and go out of country and enter back US using your new I-797.
Consult a lawyer before you take any step.
Thanks.

Whatever response you got from the AILa may be true. If the first employee got GC through that LC (by AC21), you cannot get second one and even you can not port the PD. In nutshell, one LC cannot produce two 140 or 2 GC. You may be lucky, instead of denying your 485, the uscis perhaps replaced underlying first I-140 (LC sub) by your second approved (original) I-140 with PD 2006. Dont rely on web case status check.
Hi ,
thanks for your quick response...I understand that one LC cannot produce 2 GC..when you say uscis perhaps replaced underlying first I-140 (LC sub) by your second approved (original) I-140 with PD 2006, is it possible? I am really worried about my AOS...how can I verify that my I-485 is replaced with my original I-140? would infopass apponitment help?
Because, since the decision has not yet come on my pending LC Sub I-140, am worried in future, it might be rejected and hence the I-485 as well be rejected....

BharatPremi,
No offense, but why have you opened 2 threads with very similar information and questions?.
Both threads can not be said "Similar". First one is related with Soft LUD and this one relates to strange 485 approval. So I do not know how did you derive similarity between them. Now general perception is that "SOFT LUD" means nothing. Mostly that perception seems to be correct but it is not always so. In my case, somebody at USCIS reentered the address and hence I got the soft LUD. When I called to USCIS I found about that and USCIS lady herself insisted then to verify my present address "because somebody made an entry today and that without change of address request". Another example I can give you is around 2 years back, I do not remember exact time period but general observation was after 10 days of having soft LUD on 485, people (Ofcourse some cases but considerable number so on many threads people discussed that at length...)used to see "Current" for visa bulletins and get card production ordered emails...

Courtesy notice will clearly say it is a courtesy notice. If you are sure it is H1b approval, then you have to leave the country and get it stamped before your current I94 expires.
You cannot wait to get it stamped until you travel outside. Someone said so earlier, so I want to clarify that it is not correct.
What you received by mail is a courtesy notification that your case is approved, with the space for I-94 is blank. The original H1 Approval notice with I-94 will be sent to the lawyer. You may wait for a week or two.
