I filed my 485 application at TSC at the beginning of August, still did not get any receipt number, neither are the checks cashed.
Any idea how long USCIS/TSC is taking these days to issue a receipt or cash the checks?
Thanks,
Finally got the receipts on 3rd Sep..so in about 24 days!!

I am july 2nd filer , received by R.Williams at NSC and still dont have EAD so I took infopass appointment as my case status still shows pending. I did fingerprints about 2.5 months back. I was told in the infopass that my case is still pending so if i do another set of fingerprints, my case would come up to grab attention of the staff at NSC. So, they did fingerprinting again and lo, i saw 2 luds on the 765 yesterday and today , am I really going to get EAD soon or did the infopass uscis guys just fool me and take the fp just to pretend they did something on my case, anybody else faced this, pls respond.

Dear IV Friends,
Please help us with your suggestions/ideas. My Wife's 485 application is pending along with her EAD and AP. She applied on Aug-1st and received the receipt notice on Aug-12th for her AP and EAD. My G.C. got approved and I received the card in the mail. (Earlier I was on H-1 and she was on H-4).
My wife got a job offer and the company will wait until she gets her card to formally get her on board.
Now she wants to visit India before she can join the job. Is there any way she can go to India and come back?
Thanks in advance!

If new position is similar in responsibilities, then no effect. but if the responsibilities are changing, I would recommend talking to your immigration lawyer about it
My LC and I-140 was approved with my ex-employer in CA.Now I have a oppurtunity to join my ex-employer in the east coast. Will I be able to file AOS if I join in a similar role and when my PD becomes current ? The immigration lawyer of my ex-employer told me that I have to join in the same location as my LC was approved to take advantage of AOS as it is location specific. Is it true?
Thanks

Take Infopass,call CIS weekly,talk to any senator about your case and be on it..for justice..
Your 485 receipt date is May 2004?? Did you stuck in namecheck?? If so they might be working on clearing those NC victims soon..
BTW,Are you with same GC sponsored employer till date??

You are so fortunate. My priority date is May 2006, but my I-140 was only approved & received by NVC last January. We have similar question. I hope the statement from the FAQ of NVC (check http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1309.html) will help us.
---------------------------
Why don't you have my case at NVC yet?
When you complete a petition (I-130, I-140, etc.) for an immigrant visa you send it to Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security for approval. If the [B]CIS approves the petition they will send you a Notice of Approval (I-797) and then they will send the petition to NVC. There is a delay between when you get the Notice of Receipt and the Notice of Approval from CIS and also between when you get the Notice of Approval and when NVC receives the petition. After NVC receives the petition, we will create a case record and assign a case number. We recommend that you wait at least three weeks after you get your Notice of Approval before calling NVC if you have not heard from the Center by that time.
----------------------------
Am I then safe to assume that the first approved petition to reach the NVC will be processed first? So between us, you go first!

One lost his job and opted for subsidized COBRA. After one month he got job from small company. New employer does not pay for health insurance and insurance premium is more than subsidized COBRA premium.
In this case, Is it ok to continue using subsidized COBRA even after getting new job?
Thanks,

when situation is urgent - JUST GO !!!! - remember life is short and there is life beyond US too ..also --consult a lawyer ..don't rely on free advice ..most likely you should be o.k. but many out here are on EAD's and H1 rules keep changing.
my feeling is if you still have valid job (even though you had some unpaid) ..you should be o.k. . but lately there have been horror stories of harrasment ...so in the end prepare for worst and hope for best

Found this interesting information on the shusterman.com.
"The next day, Representative Tom Lantos (D-CA) introduced the "Health Improvement and Professionals Act of 2005" (H.R. 139). The bill proposes to "recapture" over 130,000 immigrant visas lost due to bureaucratic inertia during 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004."

The U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Office of Foreign Labor Certification, issued a Frequently Asked Questions on Permanent Labor Certifications, titled Round 12.
In that update they answer the employer point of contact questions that is often asked by employers. The answer is that the employer must designate as its point of contact an employee of the employer who is authorized to act on its behalf in labor certification matters pertaining to the specific job opportunity for which certification is sought.
The designated employee may not be the sponsored foreign worker. The employer point of contact will be contacted by the National Processing Center to verify whether the employer is authorizing the filing of the application and sponsoring the foreign worker named therein.
Therefore, an authorized employee�s name and contact information must be listed in Section D of the employer�s submitted ETA Form 9089. It is not acceptable, for example, to reenter the employer�s name listed in Section C of the ETA Form 9089 or provide a generic title such as �HR Manager.�
Moreover, as indicated on the ETA Form 9089 and accompanying instructions, such a person�s name and/or contact information, e.g., the phone number and email address, must be different from the attorney or agent name and/or contact information listed in Section E of the ETA Form 9089, unless the attorney or agent is an employee of the employer. This has been a subject of a few audits in recent years.

You will be able to return to same employer if you get employed again with your old employer.
Alternatively, you can file new H1 with a new employer. YOu dont need to go visa stamping, but your son need to go in either case.
Make sure you either have a project with client letter or your employer has position to employ you on genuine internal project that can be documented well. Its not question of past pay stubs for you. Its about having valid and verifiable employment now.

Just to be contrarian, I think the recent H1-B and L-1 fee increase is an opportunity. Instead of playing a victim of legislative abuse, we should come out batting with an offense. We should get businesses to lobby for us. We should get congress people educated about the unfairness. We should not say the fee is wrong, because these are after all elected officials and they will not jeopardize their election prospects by going against this measure. So we should say ok take this fee but then provide us with administrative fixes that we want.

Hi ,
I am in strange situation. I am in 7th year of H1B and I have applied for H1B extension which was expiring on April 4th through my company on Feb 14th through normal processing. I have the LIN number from receipt notice. I was never able to check the status online as the LIN number was not found and when attorney called USCIS regarding this on March 23rd, We were told that the information will be updated to see the status online. Our attorney did not follow up with USCIS since then. Our attorney followed up again just today and found that an RFE was sent on March 25th which was never received by attorney. Currently we do not know what exactly is requested in the RFE or dead line for the response. RFE was requested again today from USCIS and was told that will be received in around 30 days. Do you think new dead line will be given for the RFE as the initial deadline might have passed for the initial RFE. I am not sure what to do at this point if I am in status or not. Please provide your advise as to what I should be doing? Appreciate your advises.
Thanks for your help.

Man,
I am in a similar situation where Company B just filed for my extension based on approved I-140 from Company A. I have a 3 year extension thru Company A based on an approved I-140 petition from them. I hope my employer will not withdraw my I-140. FYI, I have not filed my I-485.
Now, what is the way out of your situation here? Can someone reply?

I don't understand this, we are talking about these backlogs, which are effecting about 300K - 500K skilled immigrants, and we only have about 4000 members yet. We should take this as challenge and go on to drive to speak to people like us to increase the members strength, so we will have significant backing and Senate / House / President will pay attention to what we request.
Just a thought,
Please make sure you pass on information about IV to everyone you know. We can atleast grow 4 to 5 times if not more.

Guys:
Is there anyway to get H1-B extension done fast ?
Using Premium Processing or anything like that..??
Please share your thoughts.
Yes there is. I paid for mine and got approval in 10 days. I did that because I did not want to wait.
