Looks like some got email whose PD is after Feb 2008. Good for people like me.

I tried that info from but that info is not complete. I know there are more people on IV site than any where else so thought of doing this poll.

Thanks
I meant IV tracker, I hope everyone here is aware of it and entered their details. This will help a lot with analysis. I encourage everyone to check IV tracker in addition to participating in this poll.

Comp A sponsored you in good faith that you will join them after getting the GC. So, you will need to be willing to join CompA now. But if CompA is not able to hire you, you need to get documentary evidence that Comp A is unable to hire you at the moment due to the circumstances which need to be specified in the letter. And then, you can go about your employment with Comp C.

Double posting bump this thing.

I just noticed we don't have a <3 hmm (to keep it traditional or actually a severed heart is the question).

in early April..... before FP....

I really hope you get the GC, but I doubt it, just like others here.

LUD in April does not mean anything as tons of people got LUD in April.
Good luck though.

Did anyone ask about EB3-India backlog?


There is nothing to ask about EB3-India. It is retrogressed. There are no visas numbers available. Unless some new legislation is passed, Ombudsman or USCIS or anybody can do nothing about it. You have to wait for next year quota :=)

My OPT EAD A# and I-140 A# are different.

When filling the forms, use the A# number from your I-140, if available. If not, fill with "None". Do not leave it blank. When my attorney filed my I-140 papers, they filled "None" for A#. Later after I-140 approval when they filed for my H1B renewal, they used the A#.

From what I know, in case you don't have an approved I-140 and hence an A#, you will be assigned one with the I-485 receipt. Therefore, in my opinion, you should NOT use your OPT EAD A# for the I-485 and related forms.

PD: Feb 2006, EB2, India
I-140 AD: June 2006
Filing I-485, I-765, etc: July 2007

Mexican President Felipe Calderon will meet President Obama and address a joint session of Congress this week. And immigration is expected to be front and center during his meetings.

You can get a 3 yr extension. However, if you happen to go for stamping, I would advise to get it done in your new PP, if possible. Depending on which Indian Embassy's jurisdiction you fall under, you can apply for PP renewal within 1 year to 6 months of your PP expiry. Note that the renewal process might take anywhere between 4 - 8 weeks.

Hi,

This is the 6th year of my H1B visa going on and my max out calender date is in June-2011 (including the days spent outside USA). My Green Card application was supposed to file last year but because of economy and job market situation, my Employer did not apply at that time. Now my Employer is going to start GC processing in July/August-2010. But as per the DOL rules, my GC must have been applied before 365 days of max out calender date, to qualify for H1Bb Visa extension beyond 6 years. I have the questions below in this regard:

1. What happens if Labor is pending (not approved) on 6 years completion? My Employer says, in this scenario I have to depart USA for one year till the PERM is pending. What does it mean? Could you please give some more details about this scenario.

no, you can get an H1 extension as soon as the labor is 365 days old. No need to spend one year outside unless you want to reset your clock. SO get them to file this asap (lets say they file in August), if your labor approval does not come on time, in June you would have to leave the US for 2 months at which point they can again extend your H1 from August.

2. Would I get qualified for H1B Visa extension if Labor is approved before 6 years completion (i.e by June-2011)?

If you can get your I-140 approvla also by then. Just labor approval is not enough (unless it is 365 days old which it wont be in your case)

Kindly consider my situation and answer to my questions. Thank you in advance. I am very much worried and unable to concentrate at work because of the situation.

Regards,
swashbuckler

Thank you so much for your details answers. Thank you!!!!!!!

I will be filing with the company lawyers. I guess the company is wiling to hold me only to the minimum requirement of 90 days after becoming full time, before filing for GC because I've been working for them since last year. My company liaison between the employees and the company lawyers is the one who told me to just buzz him when I am ready after the 90 days full time and he will give the lawyers the green light to go ahead with GC.

Checked DOL website yesterday (4/30) and today (5/01) to see what the front page would say. Sure enough - the image changed from "18 Months Remaining" yesterday to "17 Months Remaining" today!

Web gurus, can you guys make sense of the following lines? I grabbed them from the DOL's website source. Can you tell if this being manually changed or some script is doing it automatically:

<h3 style="color: #990000">Foreign Labor Certification</h3>

<!-- script will be here? -->
<p style="font-weight: bold">Backlog will be eliminated 9/30/2007<br />

<!-- start script -->
<img src="images/17MonthsRemaining.jpg" width="270" height="46" alt="17 Months Remaining" border="0" /></p>

<!-- img src="images/19MonthsRemaining.jpg" width="270" height="46" alt="19 Months Remaining" border="0" /></p -->

USA Today is posting messages that are valid. I posted my story and it has been posted.

If you are reading this thread, please post your story at:
http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2006/10/immigration_is_.html

Just imagine what a story in USA Today will do to our cause. It is a national news paper.

Look at what an American Professor has to say:

=====================================
There is a cry going around the country regarding the lack of American students opting to enroll for advanced degrees in the field of math and science.

At first I was cynical about this news and was quick to dismiss it as elitist and corporate propoganda directed purely to hire international workers at lower wages. But to my disappointment the facts are staring me right in the face in this regard.

I am currently employed as a professor in the electrical engineering dept. of a accredited university and I am sad to see American students no longer aspiring to get advanced degrees in science and math oriented fields.They enter the workforce after getting a BS and after working only for a couple of years change their career track either to sales/management/marketing.

This has resulted in a huge vacumn in the research programs of most universities which is being filled by international students. Most of these international students complete their advanced degree with the help of scholarships and financial aid offered by the university.

This aid is available for American students on a priority basis in most institutions around the country but there are simply not enough American students up for it. Also due to visa restrictions these very students are not able to get jobs in the US quickly and as a result leave our system with precious knowledge to create wealth some place else in the world.

I understand that we are losing jobs due to outsourcing and offshoring, but that can't be avoided in a globalized economy. On the other hand there are enough jobs being created for advanced degree holders in science and math oriented fields like engineering and human sciences in the US economy.

The most disturbing aspect in this discussion is the scientific accompalishments by America put forward by many people as examples to show that the American educational sysems is hale and hearty. Many people are still harping on the man on the moon issue even after 30 plus years. They should realized that this is a thing of the past and we cannot rest on our laurels.

Legal high skilled immigration should be encouraged as it is by other nations like Canada and UK. We should not lose this fight for global talent or else we will not be able to recover from this loss for a long time.

In the similar boat.. I received sms/email on 13th that 485 has been approved but have not received any welcome/approval letter till date. I am on H1b. It has expired and I don't have Advance Parole also. I need to travel urgently in first week of June 2011. I was thinking of getting my H1b stamped during the trip, but since that's not possible what are my options???
I called my lawyers office but really didn't get any sound reply... seems like that lost interest once I told them I am not filing EAD/AP and GC is approved

Why don't you take an Info-Pass and check with an immigration officer? In case of GC approved but yet to be received at your end, there is a possibility that they can stamp your passport with temporary GC (I-551 i think) for urgent travel.

Try your luck!

Regards

I don't know, you tell me!
Does 25-30 lacs sound like a good deal to you ?

Are you considering actually stopping people from creating something in AS1? As you probably know anyway, AS2 is compiled to AS1 anyway, so a decision to limit entrants to only AS2 and AS3 would be totally arbitrary. :P

Besides, most people who claim to be using AS2 just use AS1 with type annotations…

Anyway, thanks for clarifying the background options. :)

No worries...i am in same situation...did my FP early this yr. EAD renewal card says "No FP available".

Sorry - did not check this thread till today

My RD was July 11 for both of us - got Ead for me Aug 2 with 2 yr validity

hers is still pending

Mine shows no FP on file even though I did FP in Oct 07 ( less than 1 yr) That kinda worries me

Anyways PD is May 04 EB3 - so long way to go - and besides caring at this point when I see PD of 2006 getting GC

The Family GC option is only available to unmarried children. Now I do not know how this applies to your mother, but even if she can change her status to something else, it may impact your status assuming you are in the US now.

Anyway, it appears we have hardly any details of your case. Best to consult an attorney.
