This is from USCIS point of view. So they include all categories of I485 -- most will probably be family based. The I140 is exclusive to EB class. Of course USCIS does not publish stats that we would find really useful, even their process dates are works of fiction (or at least not totally accurate).

This looks like the hallmark of a gang initiation ritual. The teens were probably asked to carry out an act of this nature before the gang would consider them to be tough enough. So they drive around, pick a random person, and beat him up, and the hapless victim ends up dead. Sad and bizarre.

How about working on an EAD in a part-time job while working full-time on your h1 sponsored job? I assume the h1 will not become invalid in this case because EAD is being used for the part time job.
Once you use your EAD , it mean you are forefitting your H1 , H1 is a status , u cant be in 2 status at the same time. Once the part time employer uses your EAD card to give you a job basically he has to submit that info to the INS and that will automatically invalidate your H1 status. This EAD which u received is for allowing you to work which the change of status from H1 to green card is taking place.

I am planning to come back to US in December last week. Also I have to take appointment in India for my H1 stamping and H4 for my wife.
The application status says, they would respond in 60 days(?????) , for a premium processing ? Can you please advice, what I can do?

Hi guys,
Does anyone know, When to apply for FOIA for I-140 ? After or Before Approval of I-140. Coz I don't know whether my I-140 is approved or not yet.
Or should we wait until the processing dates cross our reciept dates ?
Anyone who did this successfully, pls enlighten the members.

Not sure if this is the section to post this.
I am listing a few things that rake up my mind whenever I think of my prolonged (for me its prolonged though) stay in US. Dragging my feet over decisions to go back or not.
My posting is entirely my view. I would not be willing to trample on other's feelings. Just sharing a few things.
Cons
------
1) Leave everything behind as such in our native place and start everything afresh here. Looks cool for a start. But end up in a remote place with few people and no friends. Life starts to suck when you move on for some months in the remote place. Some like it most don't.
2) Trying to look back on what we missed being with family and friends, those good old days. Sitting on a wall/bench and chatting about daily happenings/cricket etc
3) Going back after some time to be bewildered on what happened to those buildings that were there. Before you digest all those, your vacation is gone. Poof
4) Most Importanty, live with fear on what will happen to those near and dear who have been wishing us good luck and health. Just imagining that fact that when you visit back next time, they might not be there, gives me sleepless nights. This is true even when you are back in your native place but at least you have a solace in seeing them whenever you require and help them in their times of need physically. Nothing is like what you do rather than telling others to do.
5) Missing all those religious events, happenings, special occasions.
Pros
-----
1) Live own life without any bindings (we can give umpteen excuses on how we are forced to live but its still our life)
2) Money factor
3) Move away from petty politics
4) Your own car.
5) Wifeys like it here as it moves them from home politics and they drive the home here.
These are my thoughts. Just sharing with a few who might care.

Hi All,
I have filed an extension for my parents B2 Visa. I have got extension approval but only got I-94 for father and did not find I-94 for mother. I did attach Supplement-I with my mother's details.
I just happen to look at my application, I-539. I found that I checked the following:
Members of my family are filing this application with me.
The total number of people (including me) in the application is: 1
Is it customary that I only receive I-94 for the principal applicant (in my case) and don't have to worry about?
If not, please share your thoughts. Do I need to file seperate application for my mother at this point?
Thank you all,
Sri

Hi Folks,
I recently got my h1b extension approved. and on the approval notice i read the following lines of text,
"The petitioner may also file Form I-824, Application for action on an approved petition with this office, to request that we notify a consulate, port of entry or pre-flight inspection office of this approval"
Has anyone tried doing this I-824 to notify the consulate where we planned to do H1b extension stamping. Will this work to avoid PIMS delay?
And has anyone recently done h1b extesnion stamping in chennai consulate?
I am in deliberate need of doing this because i may lose my project if i get stuck for a long time in consulate abroad, at the same time i feel safe with a stamping and hence want to go for stamping.
Please share your comments.

I got soft LUD on my and my wife 485 on 02/10/2009
I called USCIS they said , it is an batch update - no information they can provide. I am not sure what it means.
Does any one else got soft LUD around this date ?
We got it on the same exact date. No RFE, just soft LUD. I was hoping they probably processing our cases. But if its just a BATCH update, its a bummer.
However, I am surprised you called the USCIS and they entertained your call. They must be in good mood that time.

Job visas only for highly skilled, salaried foreigners: govt (http://in.news.yahoo.com/20/20101020/1416/tnl-job-visas-only-for-highly-skilled-sa.html)
Wed, Oct 20 03:12 PM
New Delhi, Oct 20 (PTI) In an attempt to prevent foreigners from getting non-technical jobs, the government has made it clear that citizens of other countries will be taken only for highly-skilled assignments in India and should draw an annual salary of over USD 25,000. In an order, the Home Ministry nullified a Labour Ministry circular which allows one per cent foreigners among the total work force in any project with a minimum of five and maximum of 20 people. "An employment visa is granted to a foreigner if the applicant is a highly skilled and/or qualified professional, who is being engaged or appointed by a company/organisation/ industry/undertaking in India on contract or employment basis," according to the Home Ministry guidelines. Besides, the ministry made it clear that employment visa shall not be granted for jobs for which qualified Indian are available and also for routine, ordinary or secretarial/ clerical jobs. "The foreign national being sponsored for an employment visa in any sector should draw a salary in excess of USD 25,000 per annum," it says. However, this condition of annual floor limit on income will not apply to ethnic cooks, language teachers (other than English), staff working for the Embassy/High Commission concerned in India. The Labour Ministry had ordered that visa applications could be cleared by the Indian missions abroad at their level if the foreign national is skilled and qualified professional, technical experts, senior executives or in managerial positions and those kinds of skills which are not available in India.

Hi,
I have been filed in EB2 with a priority date of Feb 26 2007.
What you guys think about the possibility of my PD getting current this year?
I know that it needs a crystal ball to predict such horrendun things like PD movement, but I am just trying to get a poll on the general feeling about the spillover this year.
Thanks in advance.
You can check out the EB3-EB2 calculations thread. You have a decent chance of getting your GC by September 2011 based on the predictions there.

Can somebody please throw some light on this issue.
I have an approved H1extn till 2013 but I had moved to the new location and new project since then but I don't have a new LCA. And now when I'm planing to go to india and appear for visa stamping I don't have the new LCA for my current location.
When I asked my lawyer, she said that I need to apply for fresh H1 extn. This doesn't make sense to me, Can I only get new LCA for my new project location ?
Do I need to get my H1B amended with this change ?
Please help me on this ...
Waiting to hear back ASAP.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I did not sign in the 325 form...where it says that sign here
"if your native alphabet is other than Roman letters, write your name in native alphabet below".
Would this be a concern?
Thanks
Your question is not clear.
did you forget to sign the G-325A form where it says "Sign here"
OR
did you forget to write your name in native alphabet?
In first case, it will be considered improperly filed and chances are it will be rejected.
In second case, even if your native language is other than English, the person who does initial review will not know that and it will be accepted and processed.
I hope it is the second case .

Now. Don't try to scream.
This is just unofficial and don't ask my sources.
All i know is that as of yesterday there were only 18000 applications for Masters quota.
Why did not they get filled as fast as the Regular quota?
This is the reasoning my lawyer gave....
"Most of the applicants for Master's quota were in confusion after April 3 after reading several bulletins about 200,000 or so H1-B applications. And some people didn't even apply thinking that the USCIS may have received more than enough master's quota applications even though the bulletin said that they were accepting more applications for Master's quota."
I know of people who have submitted fresh H1-B applications under master's quota as late as April 7th.
So guys, wait for the official numbers. Don't believe me. But do compare when the official news is released.
I am surprised by the slow pace of Master's applications.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. That cleared a lot of confusion. If I apply lets say, 3 weeks before the expiration of her I-94, does she have to leave as soon as her current I-94 expires of can she wait for the decision? I she can wait what status will she be in once her current I-94 expires and the extension is still pending?
