That's been my understanding all along. Applications are approved per the Notice Date, provided the applicant's PD is current. But I know, we've all seen exceptions to that rule. I guess this is more relevant in your case since you're current, but I'm not, so it doesn't really matter too much anyway. I just don't want any RFEs.
I think the program scoops up all the applications on that date and check whether the dates are current, pre adjudicated and available visa numbers. then it may move to the case officer or approval or "automagically" approves the Green card!!!!:D

Finally, received my passport on the 3rd Jan, 08. Good luck everybody.:)
Hi All,
I am on a business trip to Chennai and I was interviewed for my H1-B renewal on Dec 6th 2007, unaware of the PIMS as it was not mentioned anywhere on the website that it will take this long to receive the passport. I was granted my visa within few minutes but till date (Jan 1st, 08) I have not received my passport. Was interviewed at the Chennai consulate. It has been heights of frustration as I had to spend all my Christmas holidays and New years at Chennai with all my fly being in US. I was supposed to return to US on Dec19th had to postpone my tickets to Dec 24th and then to Dec 29th. Now finally I have cancelled my tickets as it was costing me $200 every time I modify my itinerary.The US consulate, Chennai keeps on extending the processing time from 3 to 7 to 10 and it has been 15 working days already now, but still no passport in hand. Last week on Friday (Dec 28th) got an email that it might take additional 7 working days, huh ! Good thing is my company is in Chennai so atleast I can go to work or else it would have been really painful.
Was anybody else interviewed at Chennai during that black week ??? with similar situation ?
Good luck everybody.

This time atleast there will be some democrats to vote for our bill, unless the anti guys find some way of preventing them from participating in it.
--MC
Hello mchundi, Would you like to participate in the joint effort to talk to lawmakers on both sides so that more democrats would vote in favor of the bill.

My lawyer also uses fedex, I dont think fedex delivers on saturday so I guess I am fine , right ? (Unless fedex guy goes out of his way and delivers on saturday to improve his performance!!)
Yes you are fine as long as he does not choose saturday delivery, which is very highly unlikely, and I guess he might be aware that the application should reach only on or after 1st july.

And you did not understand that this is a way for the lawyer to advertise himself.
He may have seen many people worried about this issue on IV and he wrote on his site . Now you are becoming his agent and posting on this site. This is not a news. It is only a comment. It can be true/partially true or partially false.
To me this issue is a non issue for which IV is working and this lawyer is blowing out of proportion. Only handful of people got denials and that too because their Desi employer acted in revenge for them leaving the company.
Revoking 140 does not neccessarily have to come from desi employers. In most cases, the 140s are revoked because the immigration attorneys suggest the employers to do so, so that they need not carry paperwork and also make it easy to respond to rfe for ability to pay.
For Immigration Attorneys, this is bread and butter and they will get into all avenues to do business and make money and keep their business running and booming.

My wife recently started working using EAD. The HR folks there are well aware of EAD as there are people already working there on EAD. They did not have any issues with EAD. The only thing that they were saying from the begining is that they cannot sponser H1B and also the only thing they asked is whether she work authorization in this country. When she submmited the I9 form, the HR person just remained her to send the copy of EAD everytime she renews it

FBI NAME CHECK banners (see below) should be displayed during the september rally to illustrate the painful delay in the NAME CHECK process.
DELAY IN SECURITY CHECK UNDERMINES THE GOAL OF NATION'S SECURITY!!
PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!!!
LONGER THE DELAY GREATER THE RISK!!
Media and Congress WILL PAY to this issue!
As a result the applicants will be denied EAD and H1B extensions, rather than
fixing the lengthy name check issues.

About three years back I was in India working for a major US silicon company. They have a policy that an employee can seek other jobs inside the company after 18 months in the currrent position.
Per this policy some employees from the India division were filling in US positions through L visas which bothered some of the top guys who quickly clamped this down.
They said US positions cannot be filled by Chinese, Indians and Israelies as this would open a floodgate as every employee in these countries will queue up to relocate to the US. Other countries were fine. But the problem was such a restriction is against the standard US policy of "no discrimination b nationality....". So they solved the problem by not writing down this ban. It was orally communicated to hiring managers and when they saw resumes from India employees, they would just delete them.
So everyone knows about this ban, but it is not written down anywhere. On paper, the company continues to be open and does not discriminate hiring based on nationality.

You stand is understandable, but I still will urge you to join me. It is of course not illegal but unfair towards the people already in EB2 line. If there were no limits on visas, it will not have been an issue to begin with. Think about the depth of the issue.
Sunnysurya,
I am not arguing or obstinately stating my view. I am genuinely confused.
I am not sure how it is unfair on EB2. Didn't these folks apply for GC before us legally and stand in line sincerely (no labor subs) AND gather pertinent work exp and education?
I understand you are working on getting the numbers. I would wait to hear from you with those numbers.
It is one thing to feel wronged seeing a few examples of people abusing the porting but quite another to have a lawsuit alleging that this is a widespread activity and it is causing grievous delays for the ones waiting in EB2. I really don't believe it and feel it is insulting to a large majority of highly skilled and hard working immigrants who have/will legally port their EB3 PDs to EB2.
Regards.

I agree I too have never seen H1B only ad's anywhere even body shoppers never post this kind of ad which is blatant discrimination. I guess the best way to say H1B only is to post ultra low wages (something close to state minimum's) that way only H1B show interest. SO the best way to tackle it is by either raising state minimum wages to make it fair playing field for all or auditing present companies to check for misuse of H1B with folks on bench, non pay, false documentation etc.
I am in the US for 7 years now, and frankly, I am yet to see a H1B ONLY job posting...
Hmm... me thinks, I was hibernating in the h1b golden years :(

My Guess is , It is a rumour . since the USCIS suspended the I -140 Premium Service for the month of july . It clearly indicates they are aware/expecting many of the I -485 filings from July 1st and do not want to promise I- 140 decision in 15 days during July .
Yes, I am of the same opinion. USCIS wants to stop the premium processing for I-140 only because it anticipates large volume for I-485. I don't see why it would stop the cash-cow (premium processing) and stop taking I-485s too!!!

Go to USCIS and read the instructions; these 2 are also supposed to be self filed by the immigrant himself. So instructions are clear.
So, ask him why he needs these. Most likely, he will demur and say OK.
They don't know what they are doing, just packing the file for the money sucked ILsDoes anyone know about the W2 form and 1040 tax return forms? I currently only have W2 and 1040 for the year 2006, but my lawyer says I need to submit the past three years. Is there any problem?

Smitha,
First, questions to you: What makes you visit this website silently?
Why do you even bother reading updates about ongoing GC issues?
You very well know that GC comes when the time is ripe, so you should really enjoy your sweet time instead of lurking on these forums.
Response to your meaningless and backward looking post: Iam glad you were not born during our independence days. Otherwise, you would have said the following (rephrased your post):eek:

Just my 2 paise... Don't think UK is like India where you can do something forcefully. Why don't you guys understand the real problem of British.
Do you think that by performing salt satyagraha you can win over britishers and get Independence????
Please try to understand their problem.
Also UK is the great. Why don't you guys just think that UK is your home country where you can emmigrate and brought up. Why you people can't just wait and watch?? If nothing happens to the so called Independence, then why don't you think to pack up and get out of India???????
My sincere request, please don't do strikes, quit India movements, satyagrahas, you might be arrested......you never know what they can do..... Don't you think that, it is better to go to UK rather than being embarrassed here in India???
Isn't it a shame on us to go for Rally to get Independence?????:D
Just think that you will get it when time comes, otherwise quit India.
Please don't take much tension as life is very short. I am assuring you all, nothing will happen with freedom struggle and strikes.Don't irritate UK by doing all this please.
