I haven't had "any" FP yet, but I have my EAD and my advanced parole for tavel. I also have my H1B current and stamped in my passport.
Last time I got H1B stamped in the embassy, they took my fingerprits, 10 fingers (I also asked if they want the 10 toes :D)
Can that fingerprinting in the embassy be the reason why they haven't sent any notices for my fingerprinting?
Should I be worried?
Can somebody, please, tell me how do you ask for a service request?
Thanks in advance

Did they take the print of your four fingers (excluding the thumb) together? If not, then the fingerprinting you underwent was not the same.

some where i read in the forum if we leave the country without the approval of ap our 485 status will be abonded.
If you leave the country after getting your I-485 receipts then its okay whether you get your Advance Parole papers or not since you are going for H1 stamping and are not going to use AP anyway.
It does not matter. Some people do not even file for AP if they are going to use their H1 visa to re-enter the country.
But remember your I-485 receipt is very important. Always keep it handy ( do not leave without it ):)

Hi,
I'm on L1B and wife on L2B with EAD and currently working. Both are expiring on Dec 30,2010. I got my H1 with COS, which is effective from Oct 01,2010 for 1 year and my wife got H4, effective from same time. My wife's company is filing for H1 for her and has already applied for LCA. After the LCA, they are not sure whether to apply for COS from L2 to H1 before Oct 1st or if they want to wait till Oct 1st and then file for new H1 with COS from H4 to H1. In the second case, she will not be able to work till she gets her H1.
Also if they file for H1 before Oct 1st with L2 to H1 COS, and if she gets RFE, then not sure whether the whole application is invalid as my wife's status would have changed from L2 to H4 during the course.
Please advice my options. Is it OK if her company file for new H1 with COS from L2 to H1 as soon as her LCA get approved with premium processing? Is it going to be a problem if she gets RFE?
Or is it adviseable to continue to be on L1/L2 till she gets H1? If yes, how can I change my status back to L1 before Oct 1st 2010? Can my company do it me? How long the process will take? I also heard that if I go abroad and come back, I will continue to be on L1. In that case should my wife acccompany me? Do I have to go out and re enter before Oct 1st?
If I change my status back to L1, what will happen to my H1? Will it still be valid? If I'm planning to change to a different company, can it be just transferred to that company and I can work there?
Please help.
Thanks

Are you married to a USC? If so, you have nothing to worry about. Do not travel until your GC is approved as AP is not 100% safe for people that overstayed.

On paper, the D2X looks really great and certainly meets my expectations. Only time and testing will tell and I'll wait for the verdict to come in before I buy one. However, I'll be saving my pennies in anticipation that this camera will perform well. Nikon has not released any price information to their dealers but one told me to expect this puppy to be in the $4000 - $5000 price range.
If this is as good as it looks perhaps Nikon users will be in the same boat as Canon users when it comes to finding new and used lenses. Now might be the time to pick up some good "surplus" Nikkor lenses that are all over the place.
I see that the D2X will be using a CMOS sensor instead of a CCD. As a relative neophyte to digital photography I'm curious as to why they did this.
Anyway, these are exciting times and this is exciting news. Hopefully the D2X will be a superb performer and I'll only have to buy the body instead of changing brands and having to buy everything all over again.

Simply going by the voting standpoint, I think between now and 08 elections, politicians will have little incentive do anything about our case (i.e., legal immigration) realistically. I'm not sure whether we represent a % of voter population that's high enough for them to place our case on their priority list. Moreover, giving us GC now will probably benefit them (in terms of votes) at least after 5.5 years once the GC holders are citizens and hence able to vote.
Just my thought for what its worth.

I think it is not the company but the service provider's gateway address. This usually happens in Iselin, Edison - NJ areas where there is a huge concentration of immigrants. USCIS is probably tracking and blocking the IPs.

Please send this to USCIS. Good questions.
I have a generic question which some you might know the answer to:
1) Why TSC is late in issuing receipt compared to NSC?
2) Looks like more applicaiton were filed at NSC than at TSC, Why?
3) Why even then TSC is late in issuing reciept?
4) Which one is faster in approving 485, TSC or NSC?
5) Does any body know how many application each service center recieved during the VB fiasco?

140/485 concurrent applied aug 17, 2007 at NSC. PD May 2007 EB3 India.
I am with same H1b employer though now on EAD...h1 expired as PERM not applied until 6th yr h1b, so had no option.
As most know, NSC concurrent 140's will be taking forever to be processed. I have no hope for approval anytime soon. Actually I am expecting a RFE or NOID (hope not) because my labor cert approval was not submitted with my 140/485 due to timing of PERM approval and July fisasco deadline...i am lucky i still got receipt and EAD/AP.
My question...I'm basically miserable at my job. My employer is idiot who's making life difficult. I want to change jobs. I know it's very risky with 140 not approved.
1) can i invoke ac21 since 140/485 pending over 180 days? And if I can, what happens if employer revokes pending or approved 140?
2) With AC21...occupational outlook code is most important? Job title? or job responsibilities? I am looking to try and change what i'm doing...the job code is the same...the titles are somewhat different...and so are the job responsibilities...however it's same job code.
Please suggest....I don't think I can take any more with my employer.

Even I am very worried about the same as my filling for H1 extn is going to come soon and due to the recent denials, I am very worried. I don't have EAD also with me and my priority date is very late. I heard about 3 cases where H1 extn is denied.
If anyone knows more details about it, please let us know.

SO I have a question. I received my 45 day letter way back in Jan 2006. As of today, no action has been taken on my application. I have recentlly acquired the help of my congressmen to find out what the hold up is. I am waiting since Oct 2001.
I have done a PERM and it has been approved, my I140 has been approved and now waiting for dates to become available. Here is my status as of yet.
I am in my 8th year of h1. I will be applying for extention of my 9th year within a couple of months. I will use my I140 to get 3 years extension. SUppose my old labor is up, can I use my Perm advertisement for that. The job oppourtunity was same for PERM as it is for old labor. Will it be different advertisemtn. Those who have go that labors approved, what kind of advertisement does the DOL requires when its NON RIR. How long does that usually take.
My company might be getting sold in the near future. So there is a possibility that I will loose my job. what are my options then. I only have 5 monts left on my 8th year H1b visa. Suppoe my extension is approved for 3 years base of my I140, before the company is sold. Can I transfer my H1b visa toanother compnay. what if it is in a different state.
Can congressional inquiry help the process speed up a little bit.
Anyone who has gone through this, your response will be appreciated.
Thanks!

;) you bet, here is the first draft.
illegal waiting at the border = 500 points handed in a platter when you cross the border. 100 additional points per day for 6 days after you cross 50 ft beyond the border.
illegal in the country = 500 basic points + 500 bonus points + 100 points on compassionate grounds
legal + skilled = zero, nada, zilch, legal have been awarded 1 point for every month in the country on compassionate grounds
points for GC 600
points for GC via fedex and no paperwork 601 points.
:p I say this in jest but, this is where we are heading :mad:
take your pick... call the senators and tell them of our problems...
