I am also in same situation where my salary is much less than what is mentioned in LC. I am not sure if its going to affect my 485 application. I have got my 140 approved though. I have asked this question to attorneys and forums and everybody has the same opinion that GC is for future job so it should not matter if one's wages are not matching with LC.

As MerciesOfInjustices said - thanks to the core team ! you guys are the best, I wish participants in future will refrain from using cell phones, if possible. Looks like it causes lot of static - either way the mute and un-mute option should resolve this.

Can a felony conviction by a sponsor affect the person being sponsored? If they get deported will it result in any punitive action against the person being sponsored? Is there a time limit where a sponsor can't affect the person being sponsored by committing a crime?

are you getting paid more or lesser than in LC?
are you getting paid as per your H1 labor?
are you working in the same position as your LC is for?

I have heard this from a couple of my friends who used AP recently to enter the US. The Immigration officer at the POE told them that their AP is now valid from the date it was first stamped. IOW he now has a full additional year to use the AP for travel.
However, I cannot find this documented anywhere on the USCIS site. My AP was issued in Sept 2008 and is valid till Sept 2009 and I used it to return back from India in Dec 2008. However, I plan to renew my AP 120 days before its original expiry date UNLESS a clear rule gets published clearly mentioning that it is valid for a whole extra year following the first use of the AP document.

Hi,
I have my Employment based 485 Pending since Aug'2007 (EB-2, priority June'2006, India) and I am currently using EAD for my employment. I am married to a US citizen and have 130 approved on Dec'2008. I want to know what would be my next step.
Can I interfile the pending 485 with the approved 130? or Do I need to file a new 485 and withdraw the pending employment based 485 once I got the new EAD. or Do I need to go for counselor processing?
Please share your experience on this. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Vijaysammeta,
I am using the regular link that is on the website. The below is the link.
The DS-160 is located at http://ceac.state.gov/genniv/
can anyone please confirm that we can fill the DS160 without the photograph? The application allowed me to fill in the app without photograph. Moreover I have booked an appointment for my wife's visa stamping.
Thanks

It is their error and mistake. There is no time to correct. So, officer should understand.
becuase, his / her previous approval notices / I-94 copy on approval notice - the lower left part and I-94 the lower right part should have correct start and end dates. he can carry them.
In my son's I-94, the one previous to the lat/latest one, his country of citizenship was notes as Oman (and not India). During the last renwal, it was corrected to India. My attorney placed a note.
I went to Vancouver, BC in March 07 and got H1s stamped.
Any other experiences. Please, take a moment and share.
Hi all,
This is for my friend who got his 3 year H1- B extension recently.
He planned to visit India for stamping and already booked the air ticket + consulate appointment.
But the Visa validity start date in his I-797A is incorrect. He joined this company only in 2006 but the start date shown in I-797A is sometime in 2001.
Though the END date is correct, Is it going to cause any problem in his Visa stamping?
He got only 2 weeks to fly and skeptical about the turnaround timeframe to file for correction.
His lawyer says it is a very minor problem and will not affect the visa stamping.
Please share any similar experiences / ideas.
Thanks a lot

HI,
My aunt petioned for my mom (and thus her kids) years ago, My aunt's a Us citizen, and after many years the process has started its final run. For the last two years i was an F1 student in a college in the usa and recently ive come back home; while i was there i married randomly anyway, nothing happened it wasnt a real marriage, and im getting it annuled.
So now im back home and since this process (my aunts petition) has started , im 21 but im covered aswell since the child status protection act covers me. Now, the requirements for the children (derivative beneficiaries) of the aplicant/beneficiary (my mom) to be included are to be under.. 21 (im ok in this part because of CSPA) and UNMARRIED. My question is,,, am i still gonna be included if i show my annulment certificate? as i see it the annulment itself shows that an american court declared that marriage to be voidable and not real so it should make me unmarried.right? would it also be unmarried for immigration purposes if it was divorce instead of annulment? i'd appreciate any feedback, thank you.

A former member of the Bosnian Serb Army has left the U.S. to return to Serbia after a federal judge ordered his denaturalization based on concealment during his application for U.S. citizenship that he served in the military during the Bosnian war.
What is Denaturalization ? Denaturalization is the reverse of naturalization, when a state deprives one of its citizens of his or her citizenship. From the point of view of the individual, denaturalization means "revocation" or "loss" of citizenship. Denaturalization can be based on various legal justifications. The most severe form is the "stripping of citizenship" when denaturalization takes place as a penalty for actions considered criminal by the state, often only indirectly related to nationality, for instance for having served in a foreign military. In countries that enforce single citizenship, voluntary naturalization in another country will lead to an automatic loss of the original citizenship; the language of the law often refers to such cases as "giving up one's citizenship" or (implicit) renunciation of citizenship.
In this case Jadranko Gostic, 47, a former resident of St. Petersburg, Fla., departed the United States on June 1, 2010. U.S. District Court Judge James Moody in Tampa, Fla., ordered his denaturalization on May 26, 2010.
Gostic was indicted in December 2006 on one count of unlawful procurement of citizenship and one count of making false statements. In January 2010, a civil complaint was filed against Gostic alleging illegal procurement of U.S. citizenship and requesting his denaturalization. Court documents allege that Gostic served in the Zvornik Infantry Brigade of the Bosnian Serb Army from April 1992 until December 1995. According to court documents, international tribunals have found that some units of the Zvornik Brigade engaged in war crimes and crimes against humanity, and that they participated in the July 1995 action against the Srebrenica enclave during which some 8,000 Muslim men and boys were executed.

Guru's pl help..
One of friends 485(primary) was pending and his wife's 485(derivative) also pending.
Both of them are on H1(different employers) and they both lay-off around the same time about 4 months ago. My friends employer has been running paychecks for him but his wife's employer canceled her H1.
Is she now on "AOS" status or out-of-status?
Is she has to file H4 as my friend's dependent?
Thanks in advance..

Interesting comment on one of old BusinessWeek articles.It strongly highlights power an employer holds over H1-B employee.
http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/blog/bangaloretigers/archives/2006/11/us_software_tal.html
"'m not at all surprised that the first few comments on this post have been very skeptical of the skills shortage.
No matter how you feel about the alleged shortage, you have to acknowledge that the H1B gives the employer a remarkable amount of power over the employee's life. The employer bestows the right to live in the United States upon the employee, and often sponsers the employee's application for a green card. Changing employers is not impossible, but it is tricky and perilous.
As an American, I can quit my job and become a contractor. An H1B can't. If my girlfriend decides to move across the country for a new job, I can quit my old job and go with her. An H1B can't. If I decide I'm tired of programming, I can quit and apply to law school. An H1B can't. And, most importantly, if I think I'm talented and should earn well above market rate, I can go into my boss's office and negotiate with the knowledge that I'm free to find a better deal elsewhere. An H1B can't - unless, of course, he's willing to give up on his wait for a green card and return to his country of origin and start all over again.
While I'm not a protectionist in any way, I view the indenturedness of the H1B visa as an affront to everything America claims it believes about human and economic freedoms. No employer should ever have this kind of power over an employee.
Congress is perfectly capably of creating an employment category for foreign nationals that preserves freedom for the engineer who comes to America. They still haven't. Why? Well, the most likely explanation is that the corporations who lobby for this visa *enjoy* this power over engineers. And this, in turn, leads to work conditions that drive America's best and brightest away, into careers in law, medicine, finance, and so forth, exacerbating the very shortage that the visa was designed to address.
Unlike some of the posters here, I'm ok with the existence of skilled worker visas. But any increase should be off the table until basic human and economic freedoms are preserved for the worker. In America, you have the right to quit your job. Period. "

1. Will your company keep your 140 alive? Meaning, will they withdraw it - I know a lot has been said about 140 PD being yours once approved and blah blah, but no one seems to report that they have successfully ported their 140 date to a new 140 application. This is strange but true. So I will make it doubly sure with my company.
2. Uscis might ask why your company is sponsoring two 140s for the same individual - your company should be prepared to answer that. This is exactly why my company refuses to reapply for the GC process for the same individual (it really raises a question of intent). Again, can be done, but needs full support from company
Rest should be ok.

Hi,
I entered us on J-1 visa, then changed my status here to F-1. I went to school only for one semester, then I had to take off because of pregnancy, and later taking care of newborn twins. So, I had been out of school for 3 semesters. But my international student advisor told me I could still come back now without having to apply for reinstatement.
I don't know how he did it, but he said he had given me some extensions.
Anyway, i would like to travel home (Europe) after next semester. I know I willl have to apply for student visa over there to ba able to come back.
But might there be a problem either with obtaining that visa or here at the airport because I had been out of school for so long and have already kids who are american citizens. Their father is US citizen too, but we can not get married right now, as he is still not divorced.
Thank You
