Hi,
This is my first post here. I was looking for "Experience Letter Format" that Is needed for filing I-140. I have not started my GC yet but was looking for all the documents required. It seems to be a nice idea to get all the experience letters from the previous employers before starting labor process.
If some one has the format currently required by USCIS, please post it.
Thanks

Hi guys,
Some of may think "Wait for the actual letter to come" but I feel too nervous and just want to share my thoughts. I applied for EB5 and my I526 was approved. Then I applied adjustment of status and got an I485 RFE. Have not got the letter yet but got the email that my case is on hold right now. Can you tell me about the RFE? Is that common? Is that the first step of denial? I'm so nervous right now. I will write what they are asking when I got the letter which I'm expecting on Tuesday or Wednesday. Thank you very much.

I don't think there are any adverse effects of updating them with correct address, I applied for 485 in July moved end of august and updated my address with them, All my Receipts and EAD and biometric were returned to them and they resent them to new address with a thank yo note for updating address.

I can not take infopass appointment as I don't have receipt number. Alos, I called up USCIS and they informed me that it is taking longer time for entry and so far they don't see my EAD and AP entries in their system. Although they have received I-485 which was sent along EAD/AP. I just wondering if anyone come across similar sitaution, also does it make sense to file EAD/AP again without any further waiting ?
Once you call USCIS on the 1-800-375-5283, try the following option sequence:
1-2-2-6 (key your 485's receipt number) -1-1 (listen to the case status) -3-4.
The last option (#4) enables you to get to an IO since you "filed a few applications together and think that some of them got seperated or lost".
If you already tried the above and it was not fruitful, please disregard this post.

Do you need a valid H-1B status if your H-1B stamp has expired. I don't have any H-1B stamp on my passport and my H-1B status (I-797) will expire on February 14th, 2008. I will then switch to EAD. I am traveling on Feb 23rds, 2008 (Chicago->JFK->Dubai-Pakistan).
So, do i still need a valid H-1B status even though, i will be traveling back on AP?
No you don't need. Whatever Rtarar said - thats what you need

no. Comp A cannot apply for H1 extension as the PERM labor is not held by them. What you can do is get an EAD and continue to work for Company A, but then Company A will have to take over the process using AC21

I think you cant work internationally and invoke AC21. It doesnt make any sense. However, you can work internationally without invoking AC21 and still keep the GC process alive, because GC is for a future position.

Hi can someone advise me what is the best way and steps (forms and other supporting documents) to extend the stay for my mother in law beyond the 6 months as given on her entry under 10 year visitor visa for few more months (3-4 months) please. We have a religious ceremony so that she can stay beyond the 6 months and attend. One of the lawyers told me that beyond 6 month as given during her entry is not possible which I doubt it. Pl advise/share your experiences from those of you have gone through this process recently.

Reliable information from my friend's lawyer says that the cap for this year is NOT reached in the 1st one week. I think this means all applications filed in first week will be processed.
Congratulations to all those who applied and hope their cases get approved
There was really no way it would have gone into a lottery this year, infact the interesting thing is for how long the filing will last this year.

/12/2007: USCIS Reportedly Returning Visa Numbers to DOS
AILA has reported that when Rep. Lofgren issued a letter to Secretary Chertoff, she also disclosed that "It has also come to my attention that USCIS began returning visa numbers to the State Depaartment as early as Thrusday, July 5, 2007." It could be the answer to our question why they are holding July filing cases and why they stopped adjudicating 485 cases for which they pull out the numbers before July 2, 2007. What a mess
can any1 interpret wat this means
thanks

Below is a decsription of this amendment from AILA document which lists all the amendments that were discussed yesterday
http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22584
It confirms that the amendment #1231 applies to Y visa only. On the Senate discussion thread yesterday when this amedment was being discussed some body mentioned something along the lines that that Sen. Kennedy said he supported employer recruitment for all jobs and that really scared me ... I think Sen. Kennedy might have been referring to jobs that require the Y visa
This amendment does not mention anything on H1Bs. There was a lot of discussion on this point yesterday. I think we can breathe a litlle easy now.
The CIR does have other restrictions on H1B like $5000 more fees, restrictions for consulting companies & non-disaplacement clause but I don't think any GC type LABOR CERTIFICATION is required.
From the aila doc:
Durbin Amendment (#1231) to Remove DOL-Determined Labor Shortages as an Exception to Y Visa Recruitment Requirements
Senator Durbin (D-IL) introduced an amendment that eliminates DOL-determined labor shortages as an exception to employer recruitment requirements for Y visas. Senator Durbin argued that the amendment is an attempt to require that jobs be offered to Americans before they are offered to Y visa holders in the new worker program. Removing the provision in the underlying bill allowing the Secretary of Labor to declare labor shortages, he said, would achieve this, since all employers who use the Y visa program would always be required to offer jobs to Americans first. Senator Durbin cited the AFL-CIO as a strong supporter of his measure. Senator Grassley (R-IA), a co-sponsor of the amendment, also expressed his support for the amendment.
Senator Specter argued in response that this amendment is simply unnecessary, since American workers and their wages are already protected under the law. Senator Kennedy, however, expressed support for the amendment. He agreed with the general principle that a measure protecting American workers is good for the country. Ensuring that new Y visa workers don’t encroach upon American jobs or affect American wages, he said, is a step in that direction.
The amendment was agreed to by a vote of 71-22.

Can i travel back to USA via London/UK without a valid US visa but with a valid AP?
London is kind of picky to make sure we have a valid US visa when traveling via their country and have to change planes.
My friend was coming back to USA via Emirates (Dubai/London/USA) and he was prevented to board the Dubai to London segment because he did not have a valid USA visa and they were not considering the AP documents.

I think if there is no time limit ( currently 6 years) on h1 visa and there are 3 yr extensions, it will make all of our lives so much easier.
There will be no hurry to apply for GCs and those who really want to stay in US forever will apply, thus reducing all this backlogs too.
Any thoughts.

Those people who are all stuck in Labor certification.
1. What are the options going forward if our labors are not certified?.
2. What are the chances that BEC people are not able to meet their deadline (sep 30) in clearing LC?
3. Is there a justice and truth in life? Or everything depends only on time and luck?.
4. What if some of us get laid off.........our path ends?.
5. Is there something GOOD waiting for all of us?.
Waiting .......waiting...........waiting................wa iting sucks!.

Here's to wondering if the 14n isn't moving.. I've personally seen just a couple actually in the field, not a favorite of news photogs and I'm not sure what market is picking them up.
It's tough to compete with all of the emerging DSLR's and that's obviously good for us consumers.
