No reason to deny your 7th year H1 extension based on the fact that it is for a different role. It DOESNT have to be "same or similar" for this case.
But the "same or similar" comes into picture for your 485 approval. Well........ at that time ... if the original LC position is still available for you permanently, no issues.
Hi Guys,
Here is my situation:
- Labor & I 140 cleared: PD Jan 07 EB2
- Currently working on 6th year H1B, lawyer is asking me to extend the H1B visa for another 3 years since the I-140 has cleared.
- Changed my job title from a project engineer to a lead engineer 180 days after filing I485 ( with lawyer consent).
- Now offered a manager role with in the same organization hence accepted the offer without notifying the lawyer.
- Lawyer will ask me to file for a H1b extension in July/Aug time frame do you believe this might create a huge issue due to change in the role from an engineer to a manager (still within the engineering organization though)?
Would really appreciate your inputs and comments to this, is there anything on the USICS website that clarifies this.
Thanks
Amit

3. Can my wife enter on H4 and then we add her name to 485 when she is in US?
If you have a valid H1 Visa, your wife can enter on H4. Regarding adding your wife's name to your 485 case, I am not sure, but I believe you have to wait until your PD becomes current....
IK
You don't add your wife's name to your I-485. She sends her own I-485. Of course, she can only send it in a month when your PD is Current. She should enter in the US on H4, for which you will need to keep your H1 valid at least until the time of her entry.

I was worried about the Immigration status with the FHA loan processing. Glad it's not an issue.
Still debating whether to refinance via FHA or wait for a few months till the house prices are better and do a conventional loan. The FHA MIs are quite steep in my case ($20K upfront + $350 per month)

Interesting link, thanks for posting :) , if this is true , how come IO's come up with blank when asked if the namecheck has been cleared or not ? This might actually be good news , according to the memo, they are going to clear out 98% of the namecheck cases pending more than 30 days, that's pretty amazing ( as they declare too at the end of the memo :D)
It could be because there are no lnger any cases left with namechecks pending more than 180 days. See link http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/Namecheck_4Mar09.pdf

I am trying to fill the canadian visa application and would like to know what should I check on Question #8
a) citizen( obviously not)
b) Permanent residet
c) Temporary resident
d)Worker
e) Student(obviously not)
It also asks valid until date(What should I put).I am no longer working on H1B as I am using EAD
Need to travel to canada on Friday(08/13/2010)
Any help is appreciated.
Check Temporary Resident
Provide Date of I-94 validity as valid until date
You can attach a cover letter and mention that you have an application for permanent residency pending (provide copies of I-485 filing receipts, also copies of AP for proof that you can return back to the US)

2. Employment Letter (for GC job)
3. Proof that person is maintaining valid status in USA since last entry in USA
Not a legal advice

I was wondering the same thing. On other hand, I don't remember exactly where, read that as USCIS has updated their software, hence, FP's will not be required again. I may be wrong here, I myself, am interested to know if I need to follow up with USCIS after my jul-07 filing.

What is raised SR means?
Mine also filed in DEC'2006; but no news yet.
Thanks
RT
Lawyer received the I140 approval email filed on DEC 2006 yesterday. he has raised SR last month.
But I havent received any mail from CRIS and the USCIS website doesnt show the approval as well till now.
Has someone experienced like this before - lawyer getting it first and the uscis webisite took a long time to update if it did at all.
Any comments pls?

Hello OP,
Fly to Tulsa. There is tonnes of BUS service from Tulsa to Nogales(AZ). It is damn cheap..I think $10.00
D
Did you mean Tuscon? Tulsa is in OK and $10 will get you to middle of nowhere, not Nogales.

If the attorney submitted G-28 for that particular petition (which got the RFE), then only the attorney gets the RFE. But I believe any one can respond to the RFE (yourself or another attorney) along with a new G-28 to change the representation.
DISCLAIMER: I am not an Attorney and this is not a legal advice.
Just want to double confirm, are you sure that if G-28 is filed along with I-485, ONLY lawer receives RFE letter. Can you please point to any official link?
I left my old job where I filed G-28 with I-485. At my new job, HR in immigration department are telling me that there is no need to file G-28 since RFE is received by the applicant. Nor they recommend filing AC21. So no G-28 no AC21
Please guide.

AFAIK I do not think you cannot work once your EAD expires. You have to resign and start once your new EAD is issued. Ideally you need to apply for your EAD 120 days prior and CIS takes approximately around 90 days to send the renewal card.

Hi all,
Need your help and experience in this!
I received an RFE for my EAD and AP a few days ago. This has to do with me not registering myself during the NSEERS Special Registration. They want to know why i did not register for the NSEERS.
I visited an attorney around March 2003 regarding the Special Registration and was adviced that I dont have to register because my last entry to the U.S. was in January 2003. That was when return for school after going back home for my Christmas holiday. I have been an F-1 student since September 1998.
Reading the NSEERS requirement (http://www.ice.gov/doclib/pi/specialregistration/Call_In_Group4.pdf), my interpretation is that i should be exempted since my last entry to the U.S. is AFTER September 30, 2002. Is my interpretation right or wrong?
Please advice.
Thanks!
I also got a RFE based on NSEER registration. When I came into the US I was registered at JFK airport in NY sometime in 2002. When I went for special registration I was told that I was already registered and told to go back home. The RFE is asking me for photocopies of I-94 form, FIN number, arrival and departure stamps and passport size pictures. I was just going to send them this information but maybe I should run this by my lawyer. Please let me know if you have any additional information.
Thanks!

Give atleast 1-2 months for booking the appointment. It was a harrowing experience getting an appointment to the point where my fingers were aching. Also add in time for the Canada visa. We went to Canada consulate in DC for the Visa.

this spring�s defunct immigration bill partially replaced with a skills-based system.
This statement is confusing between SKILL BILL and Point based system bill.
I cannot make which one he has in mind for us, can you guys comment.
