Please find answers to your question here. I forgot the actual pages from USCIS red book but a simple logic states that 485 background screening is atrociously longer than the one done after filing for H1B application. That means they are different (or ought to be).
Am I understanding this right ?
FOR H1/L1 They do a FBI background check
FOR I-485/CP They do a Name Check
Regarding long names, longer the better as told by my lawyer! I think they do a series of checks with: common variants, substring matches, binomial match etc. Hence (assuming you are from India) if you are (for eg.) Randy Kumar or Randy Krishnamurthysarma, you can take a guess which combination would be less common..
This is intended in a not-so-serious sense as I dont have any insight or inside view of FBI functionings...
Please someone clarify, I do have a loooong name just wanted to know what I am getting into here.

Sunil,
I also have 2 A numbers. I believe that is ok as per USCIS FAQ released sometime back. It said they had to release a new A number on i-485 apps coz they wanted process them quickly with too many apps coming at once, they didnt had time to match them.
In your h1b renewal, take an expert attorney's suggestion.

Can the period for which PD was not current be taken into account while counting the wait period?
Theoretically, can one file WOM even when the PD is not current - to resolve the NC issue?

Your Emp A may say anything, but if he revokes your I-140 before you file AC-21, then you will be in trouble. It is always safe to file CA-21
I-140 cannot be revoked now, he is already past 180 days limit

Wait why not the immigration lawyer can advertise here and scare the shit of the people.
Manpreet Bawa can do advertising for "Life Insurance" and Hebbar77 can do for his coaching classes and show the anti immigrant attitude to divert everyone.
Atleast this post is a bit relevant to immigration stuff happening. People should not worry about these if they are doing the right thing and are doing with in the lines.
Yo, Mr/Ms Lawyer - Blog Feeds-Senior member, I understand that you are an immigration attorney and have every right to drum up business.
BUT, please stop sympathising with these "Company A" and "Company B" types "consultants". These are nothing more than vampires who have created a huge mess for genuine EB applicants and are in a large part responsible for the mess that EB I/C finds itself in, today.
Why are these companies so scared if they are following the law?
The reason is because they are fraudsters, and have brought it upon themselves. I hope USCIS finds each and every one of these companies who have flooded the US market with EB-2 and EB-3 applicants, based on FAKE credentials. They need to be found, charged under applicable law, their assests seized and the owners of these companies put in the slammer.
I have worked with contract houses who have long standing reputation in the market and will under no circumstances entertain or employ anybody who expects them to file any kind of visa or immigrant petition, unless their credentials are solid and they can pass an extensive background check.. Those companies have nothing to fear about.
So, cry me a river...go ahead..

Thanks to everyone for taking an active role in the funding drive. It is always a frustrating experience every time we want to raise funds. In our overzealousness sometimes we also hurt the effort by being too harsh on people who are not contributing. We do not wish to encourage any finger pointing. Members start asking all kinds of questions on the forum and kill the initiative thereby hurting the organization and ultimately themselves. At this time we are no longer going to ask for funds on the forum and will continue the IV effort with what we have from the contributions members have made. Members who feel they wish to contribute will contribute if they feel for the cause in their heart. Admins have decided to close all such threads so that we can focus on the other IV work rather than solving disputes between members and making sure no anonymous member is hurting other anonymous member�s feelings.

three words dude:
FIRE YOUR LAWYER:D
seriously,
you can apply for h1-b for 3 years after i-140 gets approved if you are from oversubscribed countries. in the cover letter to USCIS for the h1 extension, ask them to refer to rule #104 (or something) of USCIS which allows you to file the extension after six years.
do a google search on rule 104 or somebody else can help you out with this
Hello,
My apologies upfront if I am posting this in the wrong thread.
I am currently working on an H1B which expires in Jan 08. My question is regarding H1B extension beyond the 6yr limit. Is it possible to get an extension for my H1B (7.5 yrs completed) even after having filed my I-485 (I was able to file 485 in July of this year)?
As per my lawyer, if for some reason, my EAD renewal next year is delayed or the new card not delivered on time, I will not be allowed to work though I will not be illegal. Keeping this in mind, and also after reading numerous posts online, I got my HR to give the nod for the H1 renewal. My lawyer replied today saying that we cannot get an H1 extension as my 485 is filed and 140 cleared.
I was under the impression that I would be allowed to get the H1B renewed for another year. What are the rules / regulations on this. If someone can pls update me.
Thank you.
Apoorv
My GC status is as follows
I-140 - approved
EAD - approved
AP - approved
FP - completed .

Hello Friends,
I applied for my permenant residency on Feb, 2002 under EB3 category. My PD is 02-DD-2002. As of today my LC and I-140 has been certified. I am from India.
Recently i got a new job offer from another company and the new employer is willing to sponsor my green card under PERM - EB2 category. I understand that its very easy to get the LC and I-140 certification within months under PERM premium processing. In this case my new priority date will be the date i apply my new LC.
If i get my PERM LC and I-140 under EB2 category with new employer, at the time of filing I-485 can i use my old priority date (Feb, 02) instead of PERM LC priority date?
My question is
With new PERM LC and I-140, can i apply for I-485 with my old priority date from the first LC? Please kindly provide your suggestion
The current labor belongs you b/c I-140 has been approved. Secure your current approved LC and I-140 documents and then move on to the new employer's pay roll.
All the best ...

https://efiling.uscis.dhs.gov/efile/ allows you to efile your applications. Not all can be efiled, but the EAD and AP can be! For sure.
Max you can do is 180 days in advance. It is unnecessary for the most part. But won't say it is not advised. Only some folks have experienced delays in getting their EADs on time, and such events, its always to be earlier than late in filing.
In terms of processing - and which one is better - i would assume e-file is slightly faster. Only difference is USCIS gets paid a lot faster. One may be required to do FPs in any case. It doesnt matter, if they need new fingerprints, they'll ask for it. After efiling, USCIS may still ask you to send supporting documents to their mailing address, along witha printout of the receipt of efiling. Other benefit of e-filing is, that you get your EAC (Receipt # stating that appln has been filed) right away. That is a huge benefit according to me, than anything else, for efiling. Other one is ofcourse, you dont pay to your lawyer for that processing fees.
Goodluck.

How can a illegal obtain a paycheck without using a stolen SSN, so there is no way CIR can pass in its current state which allows for a guest worker program. This would mean that any illegal who has stolen a SSN would not be eligible for Guest Worker program - which would be over 90% of illegals.
They usually do not receive a paycheck they receive cash instead :D .

Dear All,
I was doing part -time school in a university and before they wanted to admit me,the university procedures included TB test. I showed positive in skin test and negative in X-ray about 4 months ago.
But the school procedures expected me to take TB tablets otherwise they wont let me register for courses. For the last 4 months I am on TB medication, I have it going on until october of this year.
Right now, I am in a dilemma. Since all our PD's our current, we need to get medical examination done. I don't know how my skin test is going to be since I am taking meds.
Should I inform my doctor that I am on medications or should I just hide it?
And should I take a letter from my school health department about how I don't have TB but been given medicines for School purposes? What should I do?
Please advise.

Thank you for your reply!
My H1B is with the same employer for whom I have been authorized to work. I have never changed employers - have been with the same employer since 2002. My current H1B is valid till May 2011.
Well, hopefully my AOS will be approved.
Can you please tell how long should I wait before contacting USCIS (Infopass) with regards to the status of my case? 30 days? 45 days?
In case this get denied - should I refile or appeal? The IO had told me that I can re-file if it gets denied due to abandonment. Will re-filing create any problems?
Again, thanks a lot for taking time and replying to my earlier question!

I'm EB3-ROW and at the last stage of I-485 processing. Just waiting for the bulletin to tell me I'm current. Two weeks ago, I found out my lawyer has been blacklisted. Just like Fragomen. Apparently my lawyer performed "too many miracles."
Now I wish to change lawyers to avoid risk of RFEs, denial, etc. Should I do it? What is involved in the switch of lawyers? Just a simple G28? Any risks involved?
Would appreciate any opinions on this matter. Thank you.
Do you mind sharing the name of your lawyer?

Hi Everyone
I got an RFE for my I140 filed in September 2006. They asked me to show my W2 for 2006 and also show that the employer had the ability to pay the offered wage in case my W2 is less than the offered wage.
My W2 has 8k less than the offered wage. My company has not yet filed 2006 Taxes. Can you tell me whats the best thing to do? My employer has good revenue, but I guess he has been showing a net loss every year.
Please help me out. Tell me if any of you have gone through similar issues.
Thanks!
The fact that the company paid you less than the labor stated does NOT matter. Remember that I140 is for a future employment offer. I140 checks if you have the qualifications for the offered job and if the company can pay you the prevailing wage WHEN you get that job; and when your GC is approved. However, you company must show that at the time of filing it was ABLE to pay you the prevailing wage or more. This is easily done by supporting documents such as taxes and other financial statements.
The company does not need to pay you the prevailing wage when you file I140, but it needs to show that it could pay you such a wage if that was needed.
Any qualified immigration attorney will be easily able to overcome this RFE if the company's financial position was strong at the time you filed for labor.
You can show your W2s even with lower salary. But you must also show that the company had the resources to pay you the prevailing wage at the time labor was filed. Your attorney will write up a nice cover letter when sending out the response to your RFE. Even if the company showed net losses, but has reasonable assets that are more than the missing 8k, it can still be shown the company was able to pay you the wage.

That's true for my case. My labor certification was denied once due to the naive aknowledge of my para-legal attorney. It caused my LC was delay 1 year then I was stuck by Retrogression. Again at filing I-485, if I have not carefully studied the immi laws and reviewed my case, my attorney might mess it up. Many times I found my non-professional, clumsy knowledge on Immi laws is even better than my para-legal attorney
