“Bang Your Head Against a

USCIS sends out three copies of the approval notice Form I797 A: Sent to the attorney on record, Form I797 B sent to the Petitioner and Form I797C sent to the beneficiary. Check the lower right hand corner of the notice you received for the form number. The B and C versions are courtesy copies. That is why if you look at the "documents needed" section for stamping of H1B in any of the Consulates or VFS sites they typically mention "original Form I797A"

Hope this helps.
Thks for the Info..I am aware only I-797 has two parts..

gimme_GC2006,

I used my AP twice via JFK. Both times sent to secondary. No questions asked, just had to wait an extra 90 minutes due to people in front of me and was given my passport with the I94 back.

so nothing to fear.

ok..cool..thanks !!
Hopefully mine will also be cool. :)

kpchal2,
I think you might be aware that Priority date will be present on I-140 Approval Notice. In case if you donot have access to copies of I-140 approval notices, then you may try the following option, provided you atleast know the receipt numbers of the I-140 applications.

Take infopass appointment, and based on your I-140 receipt number, request the officer to let you know the priority date on I-140.

Thanks

NO. It shouldn't create an issue. The key is to "have the guarantee of a same or similar position available for you on permanent basis" at the time of RFE. How many jobs you changed before that is not of a concern.

But t is very important that you act quickly. When you deal with a big employer, the bureaucratic delays can kill weeks quickly, and you will find getting late for your RFE reply.

Contact the employer with "permanent offer" and let them know of the urgency, get in touch with their lawyer, and get the letter framed ASAP. You dont even have to start working with them before sending the letter.

The other option is to get the "employment verification" from your current consulting employer. The only advantage I see here is "probably" time.

Is it not risky to move when your RFE response is pending? I worked for just 2 employers for 9 yrs between 2000 -- 2009
then since March I have so far been with 2 employers and now 3rd PERM offer.. I am concerned if that can create issues..

I believe there are very few left before April 1st 2004. EB2 I was stuck at April 1st 2004 for a long time and never moved from that date (excluding 2-3 times for a month or two when2006 people got approved). There will be lot of people from first half of 2004.

I got my GC last year auguest but her gc/485 status is stil pending. Is it even possible based on her case was dependent on me? What can I do abt it. Thanks.

Dear Shidsar:
this is more of a question for you: Are you then one of the lucky ones from EB2-I to have got your GC when PD's became current for a brief while last year? Lucky you.

hi All,
I didn't find any topic on this so asking a question in a new thread.

I got my GC last month. My company has some problem and requested to take pay cut (50%) for next 3 months. Will this effect my Green Card. I came to know that I should get the salary mentioned in the file at-least for next 6 month after getting the GC. Is this true?

Please help me, I have to take decision ASAP.

Thank you in advance.

There are several forum threads explaining 6 months being the good-will time an employee should stick with, but if the company sends you out with proper relieving then it is not your fault.

One suggestion would be to ask your mgmt to provide proper reasoning in your relieval so that you can find another job outside and shift.

You have GC so you can do anything :)

Are You Banging Your Head

Please keep this thread handy... For my wife, we went through hell due to super coordination between, immigration & social security office.

http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum6-non-immigrant-visas/22458-h4-to-h1-no-ssn-yet-7-weeks.html

Hi Goel_Ar, thanks for the response. Assuming there is indeed very good co-ordination between USCIS and SSN office, how long does it *normally* take to get the card?

Any ideas, anyone?

Banging Your Head Against A

I'm in the process of convincing my FinAid rep that I am eligible with only EAD/I-485 pending/A# (no I-94 w/parolee stamp). It worked for a secondary verification for my mortgage guaranteed by USDA (Agriculture Dept.). They use the same USCIS SAVE system for verification. The truth is no one knows how to do this. My FinAid rep admitted to never having to do this. What happens when they institute a secondary check thru SAVE is it only says EAD valid, so all it does is verify your status, but does not actually notify the agency that you are eligible for any benefits - it says so in the system rules/regs. But USDA thought that was the green light to approve me for benefits, so now I'm eligible for no down payment/low-interest mortgage. I'm trying to pull the same stunt with college. They said they will consult Dept. of Ed, so that may not work. But you need to sound convincing and not fall for their ignorant BS, until they have it clearly figured out and ask you for an I-94 w/parolee stamp valid for more that a year. Truth is, none of us will ever get a stamp valid for more that a year, since AP is given in 1 year increments. But FinAid reps almost always fall for near-1-year validity of the stamp and cave to your pressure. So keep working at it until you get what you want. That'/s what I intend to do. Once you are approved w/documentation for first year, you never have to go thru the exercise again with that school, since the school ultimately decides whether you are qualified. Good luck, and I'll post my progress.

It's not the "swf" we're concerned with, it's the "fla", and it doesn't just do it with imported Swift3D stuff, but with jpg's and movie's and other imported media.

Try this experiment.

Open a blank Flash project. Save it as an FLA file, and note the file size.
Import a large jpg, then delete it from the stage, and from the library.
Save it again and compare file size again.

I have an approved EB3 140 (PD Aug 2004) and have filed my 485 using it with Employer A.
With Employer B, I have an approved EB2 140, but the priority date is in 2007.
What is the process of porting the EB3 date to the EB2 140 and to change the 485 to the EB2 queue? Do I need to refile the 485 application?

AGAINST A BRICK WALL

Hi bouncer,
I just wrote a tutorial on how to call custom states programmatically or via code here: http://www.kirupa.com/blend_silverlight/custom_vsm_pg1.htm (the last two pages will be most helpful for you).

Are you unsure how to call the states, or are you unsure how to detect the direction of mouse movement?

Thanks,
Kirupa

I know how to call the states but not sure about the detection of mouse. I want to call each states on each direction.

hi prince,
regarding ur post, there is a correction.

holding an Approval notice alone is NOT a valid reason to bypass the transit visa in germany.

holding a valid visa or Adv parole is good . but not just an appr notice.


thanks

Hi,
I have been in this too long and want to decide if it makes any sense fighting anymore and anticipating the cards. Any advice is greatly appreciated

I contacted the Senators office and the rep there made a query to USICS> this is the response she got.

�This case is currently in an extended security review area."

She then tried to contact this area and the Officer advised that it cannot be released at this time. The Service is aware that there is a visa available, however, since it is still being reviewed for security issues it cannot be released at this time

Any Advise?

-Thanks

My Employer is paying for my Family GC Expenses (Myself, Wife, and Daughter). I have been working for him for the last 3 years. At the time of Filing my Labor, I have signed a letter (Just a letter on Company Letter Head) and faxed him the copy and the Original is with me. The letter says I have to pay back all the expenses for my GC if I leave the Employer before my GC approval time + 6 months.

My priority date is July 2006 in EB3 and 485 was filed on July 3rd. Based on the current trend it might take another 4 to 5 years to get my GC. My employer pays me very less and is not willing to give any hike in near future.

After 180 days (AC21), I want to change my employer. In the above scenario, can my present Employer sue me if I leave him? Please suggest�

Thanks in advance,
Ashok...

I came back to US on Mar 30 2008 using advance parole. The officer wrote on I-94 , paroled until Mar 29, 2008 (I am assuming its an oversight).

I didnt detect the oversight till yesterday. What my current status and what actions should I take to rectify the error.

I am still working for my employer that sponsored the H1B which is valid till Feb 2009, although the stamp on the passport was valid only till Feb 2008

Thanks
