Hi,
I filed my 485 on July 5, 2007 at NSC and got my receipt number yesterday. I sent my wifes 485/765/131 on July 24, 2007 to NSC. She is on H4 currently. TOday i got my wifes receipt numbers for all 3. But to my surprise the receipt numbers were given by TSC instead of NSC.
FYI my 140 is pending with NSC.
I am just wondering if this will be a problem? Any one had been through similar situation?
Thanks in Advance!!
You should be happy for this as I am still waiting for my wife's EAD from NSC

harry the reason u may not be getting much of a response to your thread might be because the AC21 portability issues have been discussed in detail several hundred times on this forum.
Just look for the AC21 Portability forums/threads and read thru them and it'll help your understanding.

Gurus,
I am considering switching my employer.
Currently I have I-140 and labor for GC approved in 2006.
Filed I-485 in July 2007.
My current H-1B expires on December 2009. (9 years on H-1B.... ya that long)
Based on my AC-21 portability after 180 days of I-140 approval, if I move to a new employer and file H-1B transfer, will I get default approval of only upto December 2009, or can I get 3-year extension based on my I-140 approval?
Appreciate your answers in advance.
Thanks,
Optimizer

tom friedman doesn't know about the details of this issue..... for him immigration means more h1b visa..... he doesn't have a clue @ gc mess...... there r others who have done research on this subject.... but those studies did not get as much attention.... maybe others need to come up with a shape... lets pick one.... lets say "earth is rhombus".... and then publish these reports... that might help catch some attention....

"THE CHILDREN OF H-1B VISA HOLDERS
At the 2004 Intel Science Talent Search, the nation’s premiere science competition for top high school students, the National Foundation for American Policy conducted interviews to determine the immigration background of the 40 finalists. The results: two-thirds of the Intel Science Talent Search finalists were the children of immigrants. And even though new H-1B visa holders each year represent only 0.03 percent of the U.S. population, it turns out more of the children had parents who entered the country on H-1B visas than had parents born in the United States. In other words, if critics had their way, many of the coming generation’s top scientists and engineers would not be here in the United States today – because we never would have allowed in their parents."

I live in NJ and my application was recieved on July 2nd. would that be Nebraska or Texas SC?
NJ comes under TSC but direct filing took effect only from July 30th. Till then the 485 was supposed to be sent to the center where 140 is filed or to NSC ( if no 140 filed). Even if it was sent to the wrong center USCIS will not reject the application in this timeframe. It will be internally transferred to the the correct service center.

Hi,
I need to renew my passport at the Indian Consulate in NY. I
have a couple of quick questions. It would be great if someone could
answer them for me.
(1) Do I need to leave my I-94 card in when I give them my
old passport? Is it OK if I remove it? Do they make a big deal of this?
A. It is OK to remove the i-94
(2) In the online form, what do I choose for the "Service Desired" field?
"Re-issue of passport"?
A. Yes, if you are sending the application within one year of your old passports expiry.
Best Regards,
Euclid

Visa Bulletin For June 2011 (http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5452.html)
Hi all
My I-485 is pending(EB-3,India)since 2007. I changed employer & successfully ported PD on new I-140 approval in EB-2 category. My PD is in Oct 2006 & I expect that to become current in the coming few months.
Now, I need to do Interfiling to link my pending I-485 to my new I-140.
(1) What all documents/wordings are required for interfiling? Can someone pls provide a checklist?
(2) Who should do Interfiling- Myself or "Attorney of File" on my original I-485 or my current attorney (who did my new I-140)?
(3) Can I send my Interfiling request to USCIS even before my PD becomes current?
Thanks
Sameer

H1 extension can be applied upto 6 months before the expiry of current H1.
If you haven't completed 6 years on H1, you can always extend it as usual.
If you have completed 6 years on H1B, you have to have one of the following to extend your H1B.
1. Labor/Perm was applied at least 1 year back
In this case, your H1 will be extended another year
2. I-140 is approved.
In this case, your H1B will be extended 3 years.
More than likely your I-140 will be approved before November 2009 if it is a reasonably clean case. ( USCIS I-140 processing time has come down drastically)
BTW you don't get an H1 automatically on your 140 approval, your company has to apply for it.
Hope this helps.

First time I applied Labor Certification (LC) in 2004(pending, not approved or denied) and second time I applied on PERM without porting the first Labor application date with same company, same catagory(EB3) and same job description which approved with PD Feb 2006. I applied 485 on july last year when all PD were current.
Question: Can I port my PD from the first Labor application date now.

No transit visa needed if you are using AP.
If you are using H1B and you dont have a valid stamp on your passport, then you need to verify.

I am having an option of joining a new employer with whom to file LC. Company is not very big 50 employees and started in 2002.
I am very worried about the stability of the company. This kind of companies are normal or I am just unneccessarily imagining and worrying ???
How to check the stability of a company before you start filing anything ???
Anybody knows about this ??
absolutely no idea based on the info you have provided, but you need to consider a lot of things here.
1. If its a startup building the same product 5 years later, and does not seem to be expanding/growing, its probably not going to be around much longer. If its a consulting/contracting firm that works with bigger fish, it will probably be around in the future.
2. You need to also analyze your appetite or risk. If you are on 5th or 6th year of H1, then it could be risky. If its year 1/2/3/4 and you like everything else about this company, go ahead. Worst case they close in one year, you will have LC+I140 approved and can move to another company, restart GC, and recapture this old priority date.

Good evening,
I am currently in the United States and in the process of changing my Q1 into a F1 visa.
My contract with the Q1 visa unexpedently ended in June 2009 and the visa was expiring on the 17th of september 2009.
I sent the file with all the papers to the USCIS before the end of the expiration date and is still in process at this time.
I heard that i can not exceed the period of 180 days after my last day of work with my Q1 Visa.. Is this true ?
I was thinking by the time i filed everything before the end of my Q1 visa, i could stay in the United States until the approval or denial of my F1 visa...
if this is true :
1. Do I have to wait in France for the answer of the USCIS, or my case will be cancelled and I have to start all oveer again in France ?
2. If I do not stay more than 180 days, going back to France and coming back for exemple 1 week after to the US with a tourist visa, am I able to change my status to F-1 ?
3. If i receive an approval answer from USCIS after a few days that I've been back in France, will it be valid ? Can it be sent to me ?
4. Do I have to get a new I-20 from the university if I am starting the process in France, or the one that I have is still valid ?
Could you help me please, beause i am confused...:confused:
Thanking you by advance for your answer

Hello,
You can be a passive partner (investor) in any startup (even without any visa). To be an active partner, you need to be a permanent resident or citizen in US. Here is a link for the details... Forming a Partnership: And Making It ... - Google Books (http://books.google.com/books?id=XjDVw9NAmBYC&pg=PA142&lpg=PA142&dq=active+business+partner+vs+passive+business+par tner&source=bl&ots=-xFm-W-HUu&sig=f9EqzXSaZfiZN9Zm3tYJrmE8lTY&hl=en&ei=Hb2XSsvDEtSDlgeytd2IBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4#v=onepage&q=active%20business%20partner%20vs%20passive%20bus iness%20partner&f=false)
If you want to be an active partner, you may want to conisder registering the company outside US, like UK or Bahamas (or even India, if you have PAN card).

I was just wondering if they stall the 485 processing once they issue an RFE on EAD. Would they hold the case in abeyance or are these two mutually exclusive.
Btw, am not sure of the reason for RFE yet.
Has anyone had their 485 approved with an RFE pending on EAD or AP?
