Hi
My PD is Dec 2004 EB2 for a future jon offer. I won't be able to start the job until July 2008 as I am still completing my fellowship. I have read somewhere in the past that I can file I485 for this future job as the dates have now become current. Can anyone confirm this and any idea what is the general recommendation for the duration that I have to stay with this employer once I start the job.
Minimum 6 month is considered a safe period.

1.Did anybody have recently got H1B stamping done in Hyderabad consultate.
Yes, I got it done in October.
2. Any issues with getting appointment dates.
No. The only issue I had was that they don't let you book well in advance, which makes it difficult to plan travel. Also, I did not realize until the last minute that you need to submit your documents 4 days in advance before the interview. Luckily one of my friends told me about it and I was able to request my dad to submit the documents in time. Not sure what would have happened if I did not submit the documents upfront...may be, they might have still allowed me in.
3. I have all the documentation in place including pay stubs in the last 8 years.
Good. I have been working for 8 years as well and took the paystubs for just this year(2010) and tax returns for past 3 years. But, they did not ask anything as I was renewing for the same company for the same job. They just asked what I do for the company.
4. Is it preferable to get stamping done in Canada than in Hyderabad,
I prefer Hyd as that is where my parents live and I don't have to waste travel fares, visa fees (for canada visa), hotel, vacation etc by going to canada. I just got it done when visiting my parents. If you live close to Canada or have special travel needs, then may be Canada should be considered.
5. How many days does it take to get the passport back.
7 days total I think, including weekend.

thats very sad and bad on part of the HR. should always use fedEX, UPS for tracking such imp docs. anyways you can use Form I-824 Application for Duplicate Approval Notice.
google it and it should take around 3-5 months. friend of mine lost it at the photocopier and had to take this route.
good luck.

they are issuing EADs for children....it will help you get SSN for them
Hello,
I filed 485 in July 2007 and got the 485 receipt nos for myself and wife and my daughter. Both my wife and myself got EADs too. Though i applied EAD for my daughter [who is under 4 years at the time of application], i neither received EAD reciept nor the application back. I saw in some other threads that kids under 10years are not getting EADs. Is it true?
I know some may ask why we need EADs for kids? My daughter 's I-94 is expired on Oct 10th 2007 and i applied EAD for her in july just in case though she cant work.
Any ideas?

You can take FP test at any location in United States. Just make sure that you go to the nearest location at the time mentioned in the notice. I had an appointment at the Oakland office but I went to the San Jose office and they let me do the FP test there. I had gone to them the previous day to confirm whether I can take FP test at their office and that's when they told me that I can go to any office in US.

Hello,
I have been approved for a new H1 visa for 2 years - Consulate Case. My previous visa extension was denied & so applied for a new one with a different company in a different state. I m trying to book an appointment online for the interview in which I have to fill up DS 156 form. There is one question # 24, where it is asking me write the address where I will stay. At present, I have not decided on address as I don't know stamping would be approved or not. So what do I need to write there. I presently stay in a different stay where I own a house.
Lawyers & experienced people pls. help out as soon as possible... I am running out of time...
Thanx In advance
The address should be the one which you are currently staying (on file with USCIS when you filed for GC or notified using AR-11).

In CIR 2007 (S.1348) Title V, subtitle B is skill act of 2007 SEC.524 says about people with masters and higher degrees will not be counted against the numerical caps. This says it is amending Section 201(b)(1) (8 U.S.C. 1151(b)(1)) which is about the numerical caps. As this is in the section of backlog reduction does this mean that those who already are in the process and is backlogged will be given green cards out the numerical cap?

If you are a French citizen, then yes, you can get a new H1-B visa stamp at the US Embassy in Paris. But if you are a citizen of another country, then no, you cannot get a US H1-B visa in Paris. You have the option of getting an appointment and going to a US Embassy/Consulate in Canada, Mexico, or your country of citizenship.
Whether the French will give you a French visa is another question, but regardless, you will have to have a new US H1-B visa to get back into the country.

Hi,
My 485 status on USCIS site is showing Document production or Oath Ceremony. The status changed on 7/8/2010. What does this status mean. Does this mean approval? How long does it take to recieve the actual card once the case enters to this state.
Thanks in advance.
Sudipta
This means your GC has been approved. You'll receive welcome letter and card(s) shortly.
Congratulations!!

Hi,
Got a 1-797 Notice of Action today in Mail for my pending I-485 and the Notice Type: WELCOME NOTICE: SECTION: Adjustment as direct beneficiary of immigrant petition.
In the details section it says" Welcome to United States"...your application for permanent residence has been approved...we will soon mail you a new Permananet Resident Card....
HOWEVER, the online status still shows "Case pending" and NO LUD update.
1. Any reason to get concerned as the online case status still show it as Pending altough I see approval in Mail Notice?
2. Should i call customer service?
3. How long typically the card in mail takes?
Congratulations!!!
Online updateds are done in batch jobs in the night.
So i guess you should see change in online status tomorrow if not call customer service.

why dont you call the head branch in USA, and ask them if you can use this degree for immigration.
Cause I have my MS from NEWPORT and when I asked them if I can ues it for my GC then they told me that it cannot be used for immigration.
hope this will help you.

In the past week or so we have been receiving many requests for evidence on all H1b cases filed on April 1, 2009. The RFEs received by us and practitioners across the country so far appear to only request that the single page of the I-129 Data Collection sheet be sent with the TARP question answered.
Due to the passage of EAWA, USCIS is required to collect TARP (and Section 13 funding) information on each H-1B petitioner. However, by the time the new form became available, we had already completed our packages for the H-1B cap filing period for April 1, 2009. Therefore, USCIS confirmed that the new I-129 form was not mandatory and that only the one page (of the I-129 Data collection sheet requesting the TARP information) was urged to be included.
At the AILA Spring Conference in Washington, D.C., Barbara Velarde, Chief, USCIS Service Center Operations, mentioned that if the TARP information was not included in the filing, the petitions would not be rejected. However, USCIS would need to send an RFE for the TARP information. Unfortunately, this was not clearly explained in the USCIS fact sheet on TARP issued on March 20, 2009. Nevertheless, USCIS is required under the EAWA statute to obtain this information and the easiest way for USCIS to comply is to send an RFE. This is a very annoying and time consuming process for all us dealing with H1B filings, and even more confusing for the clients. We hope that USCIS explain better such crucial changes in future matters.
