Libra,
Pestering ad nauseum to contribute and participate will only make things look trite. I think you should give it a rest. We are doing what we can to further hte goals of IV... but don't try to tell us when to breathe.

Folks i got a LUD on my AP 7 days back and again LUD 5 days back. But the status didn't change nor i get any letter of so far.
Does this means i'm on my way to a RFE :) If they send RFE does that gets reflected on the Online Status ??
Thanks much!
I had the exact same RFE. I'm on H1 since 1998, and you can imagine how many times I have left and entered USA. I have about 8 H1B extensions. Here's what I sent...
1). Cover Letter stating list of document to show evidence of law ful status in US.
2). I-94 card issued by CBP at the last port of entry.
3). ALL the H1B extension notices issued by USCIS. Its important that there are no gaps in dates on the extension/change of status notices.
4). passport copy containing all US visas and entry and exit stamps.
5). A document explaining the entry and exit dates matching the stamps in the passport.
6). Few pay stubs from the current H1B/green card employer that you are currently working.
7). Few W-2s for last few years.
Usually the I-94 that is on the extension of stay issued by USCIS is the same number thats issued by CBP at the Port of Entry. So, USCIS should be able to match the entry and exit information and extension of stay notices
I'm sure they know that one surrenders the white I-94 card when they leave US.

When I applied last year I got it for 9 months and for 1 yr when I applied in 2009, eventhough my priority date is not current. I called them on 90th day after my application was filed and that has triggered something and I got my EAD in a week. I assume they have plenty of work load and in order to clear EAD applications they are just approving with out any emphasis on priority dates and with whatever duration they like.
This erratic EAD approval process causes financial loss to all EAD applicants effected.

If Applicants receive a 221(g) notice with a questionnaire asking about job experience/edcuation backgrond, that is usually "additional administrative processing" associated with TAL (Technology alert check). thsi takes around 30-45 days in most cases. Other 221(g) reasons could be just for employer/document verification (which is what it seems in your case).
Timelines are varied but in most cases peopel get approval in a month or so. But the wait is nerve-wracking. Just stay positive and be aware that these checks are happening frequently nowadays.
Once you get your visa and travel back, please join in IV's push to get I485 (3rd stage of green card) filing without current PD. spread the message among your friends/colleagues.
these kind of issues while visa stamping and also while h1b extensions are the main reason why our situation is so fragile when on H1B. all the more reason to get any admin fixes that will help people stuck without being able to file I485.

Thanks for contacting IV with your SOS.
An IV core member is going to be helping you to fix this with USCIS. Let us know if you need help. He already tried contacting you yesterday.
As IV grows maybe this is a help IV can extend to all its donor members and help them if they get in such extreme distress situations. This is one of the ideas we are thinking for our members in the donor group.
Very good work by IV. I commend this effort in helping the people who are in such situations and hopefully this will lead to more people joining and willing to donate for the issues that affect us as a community
- cheers

Thanks for advice. Yes my last M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the USA.
Could you please clarify what "find out NIW holders in your / related engg field"? How can I find out?
Do you believe EB2-NIW is easier than EB1-OR?
Thank you,
John
Your situation is slightly different than many I have come across. If your qualifications, research work, project etc have unique qualities, then you may still have a fighting chance. But you may have to do a lot of homework: find out NIW holders in your / related engg field, ask a few lawyers: do not believe right away if somebody promises they could, try to enroll in as many professional associations as possible, enlarge your skill portfolio etc.
BTW, is any degree of you from US?

See, what I am getting at here is.......
MOST employers dont give a rats tail about how you talk so as long as you can dish out good design and do it FAST!
You most likely wont be speaking to clients, thats what Project managers and salesman are for.
how old do you have to be to work for someone? i mean like.. say ur 14.. and ur better than someone thats older than you and u do a really good job?
can u still go for a job and get paid?
- Matt :mu:
Did he ask about a specific job?
No. There you go assuming he meant in a web company. You also assume that MOST jobs have salesmen and project managers. Not facts. Actually errors.
Probably not a good idea to assume. Although you probably already knew that.

How many single folks are here in forum and contributing $100 per month. I dont think the ratio of members registered to members contributing make any sense at any time to do any lobbying for specific group. IV should have one goal and stick to it. I appreciate those singles who contribute and work as a team with IV. No offense. But with 20,000 registered users, there are only less than 500 recurring contributors. Some are not even registerting.
What happened/happens to the PBEC / DBEC backlogged people? They are in the worst situation than these single fellows.

You yourself willingly knowingly signed G28 form and gave all the power to your attorney. USCIS is not suppose to be sending you anything. And IV has nothing to do with it.
You have to realize, that your attorney/employer have to be willing to support your GC honestly, since you might need them in case of RFEs, etc. If they are playing games, then invoke AC21 and leave them.
You can sign G28 with another attorney, and your new attorney will request your case from your previous attorney. Your previous attorney will have to be REQUIRED to send ALL your papers (including that RN).
You can apply for EAD with just having receipt number, you can find out it by just calling USCIS. So I don't see any reason to freak out.
I still want to!

Guys, Sen. Reid has the power and will to make this one goes through.
I was told that Sen. Pelosi did not directly endorse the bill, but she is fine with amnesty bills. I think we may finally see something cooking. If we don't, then chances are we need to wait till 2009 !!
gsc u r a lil confused
speaker pelosi is the head of the house of representatives (Lok Sabha) with Steny Hoyer serving as majority leader in the House and Senator Reid is the majority leader of the Senate (Rajya Sabha). The president of the senate is the VP
Both have floor schedules and have issues that need to be debated on. the bill has to pass in both houses..either with the exact same wording or alternate text that will be reconciled in conference committee

We should put our previous agenda of recapturing of unsed visas, increasing visa numbers for EB, excluding family members from being counted in the quota and lifting per country limits in the back burner.
At the moment we should demand that USCIS release the real data of pending I485 application for FB and EB categories instead of the lame DOS visa bulletin they release every month. This data should include the number of application received every month for each of the category for the last 10 years because we have people from 1998 still waiting for their GC. I repeat "WE HAVE TO DEMAND". Once we get USCIS to disclose this information we can make our own personal plans.
Without the correct data we are just shooting in the dark. The basis of our ageda itself is not on solid foundation without proper data.
DEMAND FROM USCIS FOR THE PENDING I485 application stats and we will find an answer to all out problems

You guys all are excellent. I never thought that this thread would grow as much as it did.
To Admin: Please start seperate thread for each consulate, where people can share their experiences and ask specific questions.
Now coming back to my question. My labor is approved and I-140 is pending.
I have declared that my employer is applying for my GC.
Should i carry documents proving that my I-140 is pending and that labor is approved?
My 6th year H1-B will be expiring in Aug 31 2007 and i have valid I-797 approved upto that date. I know i can get 3 years extension anytime with approved I-140 or atleast 1 year H1-B extension.
Will that be a problem at all? I am asking this because, the numbe rof months for which stamping will be valid will be just few months.
Thanks again for wonderful answers.
