I filed my 485 application at TSC at the beginning of August, still did not get any receipt number, neither are the checks cashed.
Any idea how long USCIS/TSC is taking these days to issue a receipt or cash the checks?
Thanks

I am currently working for big consulting firm, they hold my H1 and 485 is pending for more than 6 months. i have valid EAD from pending 485.
I am getting full time opportunity, my new employer is ready to transfer H1 as well as they are willing to accept me using EAD. so its entirely my preference.
can you please tell me adv/dis adv of using H1 over EAD or vice versa. (my 6 yrs of H1 will finish in another 6-7 months)
Thanks
If they are willing to process H1B, go w/ H1B. You will get 3 year extension since 140 is approved. Also, at the same time file for AC21. You are all set.

After many, many years of wait ( to be exact totally 8 ) I was about to pack my belongings and move on with my life but in other place.
For certain reasons, which I will not discuss there I could not return to my home country.
Looking back and analyzing decisions made by the HR and the lawyers that the company hired to handle my case I feel something very uncomfortable. My advice to those who are at the very beginning of the immigration path is "Never under any circumstances trust the immigration lawyer that was hired or recommended by your employer. Remember your employer's interests are exactly opposite to yours."
Anyway yesterday I got that coveted �We sent you an approval notice..." e-mail.
Am I excited? Not very. Certainly I would have been if this happened many years ago.
Another advice that I want to give is do not take this green card business to close to your heart. There are much more important things in this life.
Good luck to you all.

I live and work in the state which is under jurisdiction of TSC. I got my PERM approval from Atlanta National Processing Center. But for some weird reason, my attorney has mailed my I-140 & I-485 documents to NSC and it reached there today(07/27/07). My understanding is that my applications should have been sent to TSC directly. I am kind of worried now as my application has reached the wrong service center. Has anyone encountered a similar situation? Is there anything I could do now to address this issue? Even if NSC internally transfers the documents to TSC, will my receipt date be considered as the date they received at NSC? Is there any directive or memo from USCIS regarding this issue? Please advise.

If PERM is pending for over a year, then the new employer can apply for H1 extension for 1 year. This whole PERM process will have to re-started with the new employer.
Since this is a unique case, you should check with an attorney.

Hello All,
I am currently in H1-B. My GC (EB2) is in progress sponsored by my company.
The I-40 is approved but me and my wife�s I-485 is still pending.
We both got our EADs, but we have never-ever used it. We just applied for it and kept the card.
My wife was also on H1-B through her own employment. She got laid off so she is losing her H1-B. Now I want to apply for her H4 as my dependant. Since she already has an EAD, will applying for H4 nullify the EAD? As I said earlier that she has never used her EAD however she plans to use it when she gets a new job.
Anybody in similar situation? Any remarks or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello folks
My fiances parents are applying for a B1/B2 Tourist visa on the basis of her 2 graduation ceremonies. We will get married in a court before her parents apply for a visa but the marriage ceremony will be between 2 graduations in US. If we also show that her parents are attending daughters wedding ceremony in US will the likelihood of them getting a visa increase? We can send a copy of marriage certificate before parents visa interview.
Thanks

Can anyone tell me after my 6th year of H1 i have a 3 year extension of h1 visa, can i go to india and come back on that visa or do i need to have AP. I got my 140 approved and i got my 485 receipt notices.
As long as you have a valid H/L visa stamped on your passport , you dont need an AP to re-enter. Refer to lot of forums at IV. you will get info about AP/EAD usage and linking with H1

Convert to H4 if spouse is on H1B. Chances of getting F2 approval are also high if spouse is on F1 and has not applied for I-140 (even if F2 is approved you should not go out of the country for stamping as the embassy will not issue visa due to intent to immigrate). Greencard processing can continue in the meantime as it is process for future job offering.

Thanks rockstart for your prompt reply. I will follow the process.
Use the AR 11 online process to change address do it seperately for yourself and your wife. When you have finished submitting new address the system will prompt you asking if you have any pending applications with USCIS. At that time enter the receipt numbers of all pending applications. This will do the needful. You can track the success by checking the case status in few days you can see a soft LUD on your pending applications. Also in few weeks you will receive a letter from USCIS at your new address that tells that they have updated the address. Some folks even call USCIS and verify the address change.

Slightly sooner than expected but the H1B cap was reached today. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to reach the statutory cap for fiscal year (FY) 2011. USCIS is notifying the public that yesterday, Jan. 26, 2011, is the final receipt date for new H-1B specialty occupation petitions requesting an employment start date in FY2011.
The final receipt date is the date on which USCIS determines that it has received enough cap- subject petitions to reach the limit of 65,000. Properly filed cases will be considered received on the date that USCIS physically receives the petition; not the date that the petition was postmarked. USCIS will reject cap-subject petitions for new H-1B specialty occupation workers seeking an employment start date in FY2011 that arrive after Jan. 26, 2011.
USCIS will apply a computer-generated random selection process to all petitions that are subject to the cap and were received on Jan. 26, 2011. USCIS will use this process to select petitions needed to meet the cap. USCIS will reject all remaining cap-subject petitions not randomly selected and will return the accompanying fee.
On Dec. 22, 2010, USCIS had also received more than 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of persons exempt from the cap under the �advanced degree� exemption. USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions that are otherwise exempt from the cap.
Those who missed the filing this week, should get ready to file on April 1, 2011 for the FY 2012 term, we feel that visas will run out fast this coming April.

If she is out of the USA, what you could do is file a 'follow to join' petition with the US consulate in your country when your PD is current. You could file this if the marriage occurs before your GC is approved.

Hi,
I have a 4.5 years BSEE degree with the following remarks in chronological order:
- Graduated in 1996 after 4.5 years at a non-US University
- 1996, worked 2 years in company A as an embedded software designer
- 1998, worked 6 years in a fortune 500 company as an embedded software engineer.
defended my thesis and got my BSEE diploma/certificate (a.k.a Titulo or Title in english)!!!!.
- 2005 - present, working with my current US employer under H1B.
Despite the fact that I worked as an engineer since 1996 with just the course completion certificate (in my country that�s the only document you need to start working as an Electrical Engineer but not so for other engineering or professional disciplines) the issue is that I defended my thesis in 2005 so I could obtain the official diploma which was a requirement for my H1 visa.
My current employer is planning on opening a new job position that would require a MS degree or BS+5 years progressive experience, in other words the so called EB2 job requirements. Do I qualify for that EB2 position?, Would the experience I have since 1996 count as progressive experience?, should I wait for an EB3 position instead?
Thanks
