Actually i went ahead and contacted an attorney for L1A extension under premium processing, so that should be done soon.
That would take care of DLs as well, as i would get the extension decision by the expiration of DL(s).
Attorney advised to wait for EAD extension for my wife till L1/L2 gets done, as EAD is still valid for some time. And in my case its not being used so i am fine.

lets fight to recapture Visa numbers from the previous years.. As this article rightly points us, the road ahead:
Not the End of the Road
Still unresolved is the issue of green cards that have gone unused in the past decade or more. USCIS estimates that 10,000 green cards of the 140,000 allotted for employment-based applicants were not issued last year. Immigration Voice estimates that 200,000 in total have gone unused in the last decade. Immigrant advocates have been urging the federal government to offer make these green-card slots available to help relieve the backlog of those waiting for green cards, an estimated 500,000.
Using green cards from previous years would require legislation from Congress. Lofgren says there have been "some discussions going on informally" about whether such a move is possible. But it's no sure thing. It would be difficult to pass such legislation in a Congress that is leery of any immigration issue after a comprehensive reform effort with the support of President George W. Bush and bipartisan leaders in the Senate got shot down earlier this summer.
Meanwhile, immigrant advocates say they will continue to press to speed the process of turning workers with visas into permanent residents. "This [decision] helps us move from a more painful limbo to a less painful limbo, but it's limbo nonetheless," says Immigration Voice's Pradhan. "Adjustment of status is not our final destination; green-card status is."

Could anyone tell me when the PD is exactly ported.
1. I filed my labor thorugh location A for a company. Then the company moved me to location B within the same state.
2. My company attorney asked me to refile the labor sicne the location is changed. I did and get it approved.
3. In the mean time, I got my location A labor cleared. So to port the PD, i asked the company to file 140 for location A. They did and it get approved.
4. Now I filed the 140 for location B.
I did not see at any place in the second 140 mentioning about my previous PD . How and when exactly the PD is considered ported?
Thanks

Because of the shortage of talent companies are moving their operations abroad. Wells Fargo just announced they're opening a technical center in India. No wonder the H1B and EB visa reform is long overdue...

I suggest we compile such stories on this thread...
Wells Fargo to open tech center in India
Bank says the opening is not a cost-cutting move, but a result of a shortage of qualified technical talent in the U.S.
By Reuters
Published: August 1, 2006, 10:46 AM PDT
U.S. bank Wells Fargo on Tuesday said it plans in the fourth quarter to open a technology facility in Hyderabad, India, citing a shortage of qualified technical talent in the United States.
The San Francisco-based company said the opening is not a cost-cutting move, and will not result in the loss of U.S. jobs. It also said it will not employ customer service personnel or manage customer data at the facility.
U.S. commercial banks with large India operations include Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase.
Wells Fargo said the facility will provide technology resources, including software development. It plans at first to hire 30 to 50 people for the facility, and might employ as many as 300 next year.
"This is simply about supply and demand," Victor Nichols, Wells Fargo's head of technology information, said in a statement. "Like most major U.S. companies, we're facing a shortage of qualified technical talent, and we're not able to continue to meet this growing demand for such talent here in the United States alone."
Nichols said U.S. computer science graduates have fallen by about one-third in the last four years, while more technology and operations specialists are coming from India.
Wells Fargo said it employs more than 153,000 people in North America. It expects to hire more U.S.-based technology specialists as talent becomes available.
"The comparatively small amount of work we're planning to do in India--the same as work done for us today by outside contractors, some in India--is not motivated by cost savings and thus will have no effect on our U.S.-based employment," Nichols said.

I currently work in a big IT consulting firm (company A) thru H1. My uncle owns a very small (less than 100 ppl) consulting shop (company B). I want to join his company, but i dont want to transfer my h1 since B is small and there is lot more job stability in company A. So B is willing to sponsor future employment GC for me.
I will be joining company B in the same job desc as im working in company A. As it looks right now, I might have to take a small cut in salary to join company B, however im sure that salary difference will be a lot more once it gets to the 485 stages.
What do you think are the risks as compared to having a GC sponsored through a company where u already hold a H1? I understand that my intention to join might become an issue because of the salary issue, but wouldn't that be the case even if i filed for Company A, since company A would file a LC based on current wage and by the time of 485, I will be making a lot more.

A friend's H1B transfer from company A to company B was denied. Since his H1B with company A is still valid and is going to expire in 3 months, he can still go back to work for company A. However, if he chooses not to work for company A and tries to find a third employer to do another transfer, is he considered out of status for these three months?
yes.
yes.

In case of death: None, unless enough points are there and a child less than 16 years or non working spouse over 60 years.
I was trying to intrepret social security benefits at www.ssa.gov.
It reminded me, what my wife's doctor told us 3-4 years ago (my wife is with the same doctor for the last 6-7 years) � some people in US want to have a child born, when they are getting old � it took me 3-4 years to understand.
Here is story - My wife take X class of medicines due to diabetes (I think this means medicines can adversly harm growth of a child during pregnency). So doctor was trying to explain, whenever we want to have child what precaution we have to take and how they help in this type of situations. We asked doctor- how could we think of having another baby, when our kids are grown up, one finished MS, the other one is doing BS. Doctor�s reply was that some people in US want to have a child born, when they are getting old � there are reasons.
After interpreting SSA pages, I think, now I understand economic part of having child in old ages. If Mr A has accumulated enough social security points, Mr. A�s wife is not working, she is of 44 years and she becomes mother, this child is like insurance. If case of death of Mr. A, wife of Mr. A and Child of Mr. A will keep on getting social security benefits (this is up to 16 years). At the age of 60 (minimum age, when one can get Social Security benefits), Mr A�s wife can start getting her own Social Security benefits.
Getting term (life) insurance is not possible without GC. Three agents tried to help me at different times, they did not succeed � perhaps US lawas are like that. Thinking negatively getting GC may be long wait 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, even 30 years.
Just wondering, is it a common practice to have a child born in old ages as an insurance? Whether H1B people and people at GC path are aware of it?
For me this interpration is a learning and wanted to share it.

No issues on both fronts as long as you have adhered to the terms and conditions while obtaining the Canadian Visa. I had similar circumstances in the recent past.
A factor to consider is the unpredictable time spent at the secondary inspection when returning. I am not sure how that will work when you drive across the border.

It all depends when someone applies for the labor, if you had BS+ 5 yrs exp and then did MS +4 yrs if you apply your labor now you can claim MS+9 again the experience at the current employer is not counted.....
Thanks!
But I am with my current employer for the past 5 yrs (In India & US together)!!!
Is that exp not counted at all?:confused:
My GC is for future employment with another employer though...

Hi to all,
I met with a potential client who is an illegal immigrant living in the US. She has a child who is a US citizen. The father was voluntarily deported and the mother gave him permission to take the child back to their home country to visit the grandparents. The father was supposed to make sure the child returned to the US within 3 months. It has been 6 months. If my client files an application under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, will the US Government begin deportation proceedings?

Hi,
My employer had given me an approved labour and filed for my I140 in May for which I have received the receipt notice. I subscribed myself for email alerts in USCIS website with my I140 receipt notice number. Few days before I received an email from USCIS that a request for withdrawal of my I140 was accepted and I will have to file a new application if I want to apply again. I questioned my employer regarding the same but they said they didnt withdraw my I140 application and that it must be a screw up from USCIS side.
Question 1: Is it possible that it can be a mistake from USCIS side?
I have been approached by a different employer who is ready to file my GC.
Question 2: If my existing employer has really not withdrawn my I140 application, can there be problems for me if I change my employer and my new employer files my GC..(since there can be two I140s from two different employers) ?
Thanks in advance..

A lot of people have filed on July 2 and still haven't received their FP notice while my husband and I filed July 6 and we're scheduled for FP tomorrow. My brother who filed on July 26 also received his FP notice last Friday. USCIS is really unpredictable nowadays so who knows how long it takes to generate FP notices. Hopefully you'll get yours soon too. :o
How much time does it take on an average to generate a FP notice from the receipt notice date and when does the actual FP take place?

Hello
I went through the same and it was fairly easy and not stressing.. you have to have copies of your passport ( the persons applying for extension and copies of the return tickets of the flights back home, you need a form : I-539 and fill it up, print it and send it with all the documentation they require, it would be advisable to have a sponsor or a person who certifies that will be financially in care of her expenses. ( forgot the form number but i think is I-139 ..please check ) and once you got all those requirements send them with 300 $ that costs the application process and in less then 4 weeks you will get a letter with either the aproval or the denial of the stay. If your I-94 expires while you wait for the form do not worry cause you are not going into illegal state while the USICIS is processing your application. GOOD LUCK !! and enjoy your ceremony !!

I am in a very Bad situation it seems, please help.
I am working in US on L1B visa and Wife on L2. then Wife got a Job and her employer filled her 485.
In the mean time I applied for H1 (through a consultant, to get out of the L1B company). Looks like the H1 Got Approved. Now, I think the problem is, If I switch to H1, then she will loose her job and our chance of Getting EAD will go.
I do NOT want to go for H1, but EAD Is important to me. Is there a Way I can keep my L1? (so that my wife can keep her job)
Please help
Check your H-1b approval notice. If it is a visa to be issue abroad petition,then you have nothing to worry about.
if it is a change of status approval with an I-94, then you need to get out of the US on or before the day the change of status becomes effective and then return back to the US on or after the day the change becomes effective with your current L visa.

I guess, this may not be an as important an issue as "getting the GC"..:p
But some people may care more about it than others...especially who have a long list of family members to be brought in :)

I have received the following 485 Rfe for my spouse and myself, I am posting the whole
text from RFE letter. Also USCIS has sent me a copy of the current I-693 Form which
was sent with our application as a sealed copy.
The reason I think for the RFE is because the civil surgeon I had used was in the list
of USCIS civil surgeons in 2007 but now he is no more in the list, hence as they touched my application now, the form need to be signed by a designed civil surgeon on the current uscis list. Has any one received an rfe like or similar to this.
Please suggest the best possible to resolve this one.

I was talking to an attorney over the phone today and she said that PERM can be filed followed by 140 even if I am outside the country (working for an overseas department of the company) and I can come back on L1 / H1B, because GC is for future employment.
We were discuussing this because I was concerned that I may not be able to file H1 extension if the PERM is not filed 365 days before H1 extension.
This would be totally awesome coz I would love to work in some other country for a while.
Is this really true? (seems too good to be considering that everything else seems stacked up against us). Oh, if it matters to the discussion: I'm in EB2/India/retrogressed ad infinitum.

Dont you need the FP notice to even enter that building, the guard or the cop standing will not even let you in, if you dont have the FP call for notice.
I never heard of walk-ins :)
gcdreamer is right, you need FP notice. But if your question is if you miss your appointment date and then whether you can walk in another day, then answer is yes. I went to FP 2 weeks ago. A lady next to me, had FP notice dated 3 weeks earlier.The office let her get FP done.I personally did not do this.
