Advance parol was not taken and can we still use parole as a status.

Unknown is good but I was wondering if it would raise any red flags

This website is for immigration issues only. Please dont hate me now.


I Agree. Guys not to be mean or anything but let us please restrict ourselves to IMMIGRATION related matters ONLY.

Also whoever started the thread pls start the thread in the miscallaneous section and NOT under IV Agenda and Legislative Updates

please close this thread.

AGI = American Greencard for Indians

I got it correct yesterday .
Thanks for the advice.


For the sake of others who may search this forum in future, could you tell how you got it corrected? Thanks!

Yes I did.
Did you take original 485 receipt with you?

As per today I have an H1b visa, I have my I140 approved, and my 6th year ends on April 25, 2008. My actual employer have give a contract that says that upon I become a permanent resident i will have to work for him for 5 years, then if I quit after the 5th year or before I will not able to work on the same industry on all the united states, also mention what my salary would be but there is no mention of increase.

I do not know what to do , his is almost illegal (I think !), do I have time to change employer and do again my visa, and I140, so I will be on status ??
Such type of contract is not legally enforceable....So you have to take your own decision....

your employer while applying the h1b , they did not applied for change of status to h1b. they just applied for h1b only. so you did not got the i-94.
so until you out of the country and get it stamped h1b and re-enter you h1b will not be activated.

since you have your f1 valid until december...you can go for stamping before that date or you can also amend h1b for change of status thru your employer also.

hope this helps

I am curious. What is WOM?
To my knowledge there is no way to expedite the AOS process.

Gurus?

Thanks Ramba, Thats greatly appreciated.

In b/w as anyone heard of USCICS picking up 485 from later date and processing it or am i trying to be too pessimistic...???

Just want to make sure I analyze all pros/cons before making a decision.

Thanks ...

Thanks for the information Roseball and CGS. That really helps.

I take it that it is possible to get 3 years extension without renewing my passport.

One more question- Will the Indian emabassy return my old passport when i renew it? If so, which passport would have my visa stamped if I travel to India and go for visa stamping.

My employer had mentioned a salary of 87,000$ in my labor.

Other folks have given the answers to your question. Just to summarize, as long as your current salary is >= H1B LCA you are fine and GC LCA rate applies only after you get GC. Till then chill out and BTW - Lighter note, If you are moving to similar or same job with another employer and invoking AC21, make sure you are getting paid greater than or equal to 87K/Year. Thats my two cents.

HAHA, yeah, because they don't see your previous versions (unless you save your previous versions and keep them as examples)

How one can help him, what should we do?

I called my lawyer yesterday and he told me that he did not get a single case send back.

He filed 300 applications.

AR11 is legal requirement. And that is the first step.

But apparently USCIS system doesnt update your address on pending applications, with a seach by Name. So in the second step, you need to provide the application receipt numbers and update your address on them.

Ok, so basically I need to call customer service and have them update address for all pending cases?

Guys, i don't know how USCIS works, i don't care at this point in time. Just wanted to share with this group, that i did not get a 2nd FP notice. My FP was done on 9/28/07. And as Fromnaija said earlier in this thread, a 2nd FP may not be required if FPs were stored in Biometric Storage System - well, i got my "card production ordered" e-mail today. Hope to have the green card in hand by the end of the month. So again, not having a 2nd FP notice may not be an issue.

Best of luck to all,
Nola

Hopefully it works....haha :)

we can have an org slogan below the logo that says

"High-skills employees for legal immigration".

OR

"Legal High-skills employees for immigration reform".

something like that. All orgs have slogan. Compete America(www.competeamerica.org) has a slogan "American employers for legal immigration".

Can pls add poll to this by month. We atleast know 3 cases..

i voted as sep 2007 from one lawyer posted that news.
