a) Can he hold on to his EB3 priority date..though the new petition would be filed under EB-2 ?
Yes, I know a lot of ppl have asked this question in the wake of the retrogession that we are all sufferning through ?
Yes, you can hold on to the priority date if you have copy of approved I-140 and you old company doesn't revoke the I-140.
b) If this Company B were to file for H1-B , as I understand it would count towards the 2007-2008 quota which opens on April 1st '07...does this scenario also force you to not start working till Oct'07 (which is when ppl who file in the 2007-08 quota are supposed to start working).
If you are already on a H1 and are only doing a H1B transfer, it will not not count towards quota (unless your current H1B is for non-profit org and new H1B is for a for-profit org). You can start working as soon as you get the receipt. But, if you are applying for a fresh H1B, it will count towards quota and you will have to wait till Oct 07 before starting to work.

I gave FP 2 weeks ahead of the scheduled date. They only checked whether I have a FP notice.
I got a biometrics notice which is 22 days from today. Is there a way to prephone the appointment or I can just go as you guys did

Like many others we have been waiting for our AOS application to be approved for over 2 years. But the strange thing is, I did get an EAD approved but they never called me in for fingerprinting and Biometrics. I know I had to do the non-immigration "registration" that was initiated a few years ago and they had taken my fingerprints and biometrics, is that why they didn't call me in again? since they already have it?
I had to get the fingerprints and retinal scan the last time I went out of the country and had to get the visa stamping done. But I don't think it was termed as non-immigrant "registration".
Are you stuck in FBI name check? You can call CIS and check the status.

thanks, tabeltpc.
I think even the local govenment is under the H1b quota. Therefore, I had to apply for the H1B in the next year.
The DOL online prevailing wage only shows that the salary for that position is for the county. The offer of the town govenment is $5000 lower than the prevailing wage of the county. And they can not increase the salary because the town is not near the rich area in the county. They told me the salary they offer is the highest for this position.
Thanks
Get the DOL report before u take up the job. DOL will give the estimation for salary....!!!Use it and ask u r company attorney to file for the H1b now its self mentioning the start date as future date (when u r opt expires). Since u work for local government ...governments jobs don't come under H1b quota...so u can apply NOW.
if the DOL report comes out favorable...start the job and can look out for a better opportunity. Trust me u will find one when u have a back up job.
Good luck

USCIS has recently published a new fact sheet of common questions and answers for members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Immigration%20Information%20for%20Members%20of%20t he%20U.S.%20Armed%20Forces%20and%20their%20Familie s.pdf) The fact sheet contains the most frequently asked questions that USCIS receives.
The fact sheet is worth reading if you are in the Armed Forces because the answers to some of the questions are different (and usually more advantageous) to members and/or dependents of those in the Armed Forces. For instance, if you are a civilian, obtained your green card through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen and you have been married for less than two years, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f858d59cb7a5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) to remove the conditional residence and obtain your permanent green card. You must file this form even if you intend on applying for citizenship a year later. (Persons who are married to U.S. citizens may apply for citizenship in three years.)
Members of the armed forces do not have to file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence to remove conditional residence obtained through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen, if the foreign born spouse was inducted or enlisted in the military and is applying for naturalization based on qualifying military service. Thus, military personnel are permitted to "skip a step" and do not need to file form I-751.
Additional questions and answers and helpful email addresses to USCIS liaisons are included on the fact sheet.

My PERM application had job location as " employers office and various client's site throughout US". The PERM was approved in EB2 without audit.
My company is in a different state. I am consulting and hence working in a different state. Do we specify the job location in PERM application ? If yes, does it matter that I am working at a different location ? I am working on applying PERM in EB-2. Thanks.

My husband has a unique experience with his I 485.My husband's employer filed I 131 ,I 485 for my husband and I 131,I 485 and I 765 for me on august 16.I recieved my receipts on october 16 and got my EAD approved on November 16. My husband didn't receive even receipt notices.
When he called UCSIS and checked on his status with level 2 officer, they told that they did not have any info on I485 but voided his I 131 application. He is planning on reapplying for I485.
Is there any downside of reapplying it as our priority date is september 2003(EB2).

You can start LLC or 'C' corp on EAD. No consequences. You cannot start 'S' corp on EAD. See this:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum72-ac21-portability-after-180-days-of-485-filing/13349-ead-can-you-register-a-llc-inc.html
1.) Yes, but you cannot work for it without filing H1 if you are on H1 status. You can even become a partner on EAD.
2.) Yes
3.) Depends on your state of registration. Contact Department of State in your state of residence. In Texas you have to pay $750/yr even if you are not doing any business in LLC.
I agree with greyhair.Though you can start LLC, you should still be able to pay taxes as for S corp. Contact you accountant.He will explain to you better.Good luck.

My emp. filed H1 ext in Jan 2011 and got RFE.
My (existing) H1 extension is expiring on 25th March... which is just less than a week away.
and my employer may submit RFE documents in First week of May...
What would be my legal status during this period?
My H1 extension was filed with regular processing, Is it advice able to upgrade it to premium while or before submitting the RFE docs?
Please advice.
Thx....
You are perfectly OK.
Until USCIS takes a "decision" which is "approved / denied", you keep the legal status.
Premium? If $1300 is not a matter for you yes.
RFE response & Premimum are two different channels now in your case, they will be updated separately.
Remember the Premium process begins the moment USCIS enters data into the system. Not the day your check is received. But it is worth. You will get a decision (with RFE response on its way) within a month.

I am on my 2nd phase of H1B visa which is valid until 2012.
I want to quit my job and go back to my home country.
How long after I quit my job do I get to stay here to wrap up and ship my stuff??
Does that jeopardize my status? I plan to be here for about 30 days after quitting my job. WOuld that be ok? or is it overstaying?
If I ever need to apply for a tourist visa in future will this jeopardize my chances of getting a visa then?
Thank you!

Yes, my paper receipt shows June 29th as date of receipt. But the online status shows a later date which I believe is the date it was transfered from NSC to TSC. So I guess it is normal.
Folks,
The online status shows a different date than the receipt date my lawyer is telling me. I am july filer......the lawyer telling me july date and online shows sept date.......
Is this normal?
Thank You

Where did you get "25" days from? Also, wouldn't it depend whether you sent it to NSC or TSC?
Thanks,

Compliance is only for people who have filed on or before june 29th...So each of the service centres will complete receipting all I-485 filed on or before june 29th by the date mentioned in the compliance document....Then probably after that they will start rejecting I485 at their own pace..

Nice article.. I wish they read it and change their opinion.The problem with these guys is that they just dont understand a legitimate difference between various shades of immigrants in this country..
