FBI or CIA fingerprint checks on the assumption that the results are negative if
there has been no response within 40 days;3

This is getting ridiculous...losing my patience
I think a controlled slow movement is good at the beginning of the year. Last year they had made, for example, EB2 India as April 2004 but they had to make it U after 1st quarter.
So, a controlled slow movement will leave to more un-used numbers in the 3rd quarter when they will then be forced to make big jumps in dates to use up annual visa numbers

No transit visa needed if you are using AP.
If you are using H1B and you dont have a valid stamp on your passport, then you need to verify.

And its official now.. USCIS have consolidated on one more conniving trend to continue to keep us in the dark :mad:
The dates are claimed to be "as of " Aug 31st.
When they did this in the last update and said the dates were "as of " July 31 2008, I thought it was going to be a one time thing and in the next update they will give us up to the date info. But hell NO!!
If they only disclose info as of some date in the past, how the hell are we supposed to know whether our case is currently "beyond" normal processing times !!! And how the heck can we file a service request !
They just want us off their back altogether and go at their own pace.
With this staggered (Processing dates and PD) approach, they can manipulate one thing or the other (Spike the PD and retrogress the Proc Date OR vice Versa) and forever juggle and skirt around accountability altogether and don't have to answer or take any status queries at all ! Why don't they use the same intelligence to try to improve their processes and improve their productivity !

You message is not clear. Are you saying he cannot work without getting a new H1. If he needs to get a new H1, then he needs to go out of the country for more than a year and come back later with a new H1.
I beleive, he can do H1 transfer. By the way, the new company should also start your labor and I140. Still you can port your PD if you have already 140 approved.
There is nothing tricky, it is plain and simple: you want to switch jobs?
You have to apply for a new H1. You absolutely cannot use your current H1 to work any other job.

Hi there,
This is exactly what my company's attorney had told me. If the new location is within commuting distance/same metropilitan area there is no need for a LCA amendment .
If anybody thinks otherwise please feel free to correct me.

As I understand the process, if your date is current, the USCIS will accept your application - meaning they ARE processing applications with a priority date matching or exceeding yours.
During the July 2007 fiasco, the cut-off dates were current, allowing everyone to apply. If we submitted our application and the date is current at the time, why do we have to wait until our date becomes current again? Shouldn't they process the application within 6 months or less?
You application will continue to be processed when it is within the processing time - visa allocation happens only when your PD is current, which apparently is not. Moreover - Visa Bulletin is just a Forecast based on current demand so, actuals can vary at any time. There is so much to read about this in many forums including this, so you may want do more research before asking - I have a reason to tell you this because your poor soul will soon be hounded by GURUS for not researching enough :-) Hope you understand!

There was a report on Mathew Oh's site that
some people travelled in 2008 got a messed up I-94
forms( printing bug). So whoever travelled in 2008
may want to have a very good look at their I-94 and
correct it if needed.

Heard that too!!
http://www.immigration-law.com/
AILA has reported that sometime early 2008, U.S. Customs and Border Protection received approximately one million I-94 Arrival-Departure cards that were misprinted. Correct and valid I-94 should have 11 digits of I-94 numbers. If your I-94 shows only 9 didits or 10 digits or less than 11 digits, your I-94 card is one of these million's defective cards. The agency is recalling such defective I-94 cards for replacement I-94. Reportedly these defective I-94 cards were issued at the Calgary Airport in Canada and potentially other airports as well. Those who have such defective I-94 should contact Deferred Inspection posts or any Port of Entry for issuance of replacement I-94. Defective I-94 can create a number of problems down the road unless they obtain replacement I-94.

Can't avoid anything that future hold for you.
1. It would be good if the employer does not let USCIS know about your layoff.
2. don't apply for unemployment benifits even if you are given one (at least for 180 days from I-140 approval).
3. Hoping your employer does not revoke your I-140
4. Take a 3 months unpaid vacation at the same job and/or offer help by working from home. Accept a lower salary for 180 days.

Yes, it can be done. Basically, you have to show that the work experience is at least the equivalent of a College degree. There are people, called "evaluators" (or something like that) that analyse all the credentials and work experiences to determine that equivalence. Immigration attorneys know how to use those "evaluators" whose "evaluations" are usually accepted by USCIS.

Well, that is certainly frustrating! Your best option would be to get in touch with the designated Application Support Center to see if they can either notify the USCIS Service center of the error or have your daughter come in right away for fingerprinting. ASC phone numbers are generally not made public, but in many locations, ASC staff has provided local immigration attorneys with a phone number to use for urgent or unusual situations such as yours.
If you don't have an attorney who can call the ASC for you, you might consider just going to the ASC in person with your daughter to explain the situation and ask for their assistance.
Hope this helps.

On June 1, 2009, new document requirements go into effect at land and sea ports for entry into the United States. Pursuant to the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative ("WHTI") an individual may show one of the following documents in order to be admitted into the United States:
U.S. or Canadian passport;
Trusted Traveler Card (Nexus, Sentri, or Fast/Express);
U.S. passport card;
State or province issued enhanced driver's license.
California does not issue "enhanced driver's licenses." (Enhanced driver's licenses contain multiple levels of security features.) It is no longer possible after June 1, to travel to Canada and expect to return with just a California driver's license. You must therefore have proof of citizenship as indicated above or proof of lawful permanent residence (i.e., "green card"), or proof of some other kind of non-immigrant status in order to be able to return to the United States.
For more information about the document requirements, please see my previous post on "Free travel widget helps plan trips abroad and return to the United States (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/2008/10/free_travel_widget_helps_plan_1.html)." You may also go the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (http://www.getyouhome.gov/html/eng_map.html) website on WHTI to obtain further information.

Hi,
I am a july 21 filer and received I-485 notices on Sept 26. I am required to join my job on Oct 8 and i want to use the EAD for that.
My question is, if i see the status as "card ordered" before Oct 8, then can i call USCIS to get the EAD number before joining the job. OR does the employer need to be shown the EAD card before joining.
It looks like it is taking 1 week from notice date to see the status change to "Card Ordered" and another 7-10 days or more to get the card.
thanks,
DONT EVEN TRY. wait for the EAD and in the mean time let your future employer know.They will not mind waiting for a week or so.

This is allowed since the laws are not very specific yet on 2 concurrent applications even though they recently brought out a rule on multiple filings by one employer and multiple perms for diff. positions for one employer. However you need to puruse it at your own risk. lawyers are happy and might even encourage you since they will get double the fees. In the I140 stage there is a column where you have to say if you have any other immigration application that is pending or has ever been denied. also I have heard that USCIS has been scrutinizing more carefully multiple applications especially after the bi specialization of the centers. Basically you don’t want to give an impression that you are doing fraud, because green card is only for a future employment for one employer. People have been doing this multiple application and labor substitutions in the past and authorities have been coming up ways and means to stop this or pass it through careful scrutiny.
