I have a dumb question, do they finger print you( similar to non-immigrant category) when you enter using AP?

You've got to hand it to these attorneys. They have a way of writing a lot without saying anything.
Sheela Murthy excels in this art. In this situation, should we still file for 485 or not? She will write a whole page on this and finally say you have to make that decision yourself.
Thank you, but I already know that one!
She must be scrambling for those meaningless "legally correct" words to fill the page now.. not a word from her yet.. except that we already got to know from WSJ report this morning.

Completely valid question ivgclive. Yes it has been more than 3 years that I had EAD. Only fear that I have right now is for EAD you need to have a job at all times in case I get an RFE or any kind of notice to prove that I am working on similar job. In this economy you never know what is going to happen. You have a job now and you may not have it later. That is what concerns me a lot coz I have a family here and bought a house and other responsibilities. So I was hoping porting to EB2 was not that long process from Labor, I140 then I485. and that is why I needed to know if I need H1 to apply for Labor on EB2.
BTW is there a chance USCIS can reject my application in case I don't have my job? If they cannot reject my application then I am fine with just EAD until i get my GC.
Thanks.

You guys are great. Guys like you are making this world better place to live. I wish you both good luck.
I decided to apply I485 as future employment. My attorney charged complete GC fees when I got I140 approval. So now I have to pay only application fees but not any attorney charges. Do you guys know info about following?
I485 applicatio fee:
I-131 applicatio fee:
I765 applicatio fee:
Once again thanks for your advice.

My friend while leaving US he did not surrender the I-94 card. Actually he forgot it at home and the airlines allowed him to board plane without surrendering I-94. What should he do now? Guru's does any one have any experience with such situation? Please help

in EB3, EB2 and EB1
--
140K visas in total,.8 and there is a 7% country ceiling (7 or 10% I am not sure), so apporx 9.8K visas per year max for a country.
And divide those numbers equally in Eb1, 2 and 3, and this includes spouse and children.
So, approx 4K primiary applicants (assuming that there are 1.5 dependents per primary applicant).
If the number of visas remain available (let's say Eb1 was not used up it tricles down to Eb2 then to Eb3) or rest of the world visas remain avialalble they can be given to retrogressed countries.
Also, previous year's unused visas were captured and used in 2005, that's why the actual number of visas given to Indians can vary every year.
But if all the coutries are retrogressed as now, then Indians would not gain any extra visas, restricting to 14K annual limit.
Please correct me if I am mistaken.

dgb.

The health benefit is actually indicated in my employment contract as part of my employment package. However, they later informed me that the health benefit is already part of my salary.
I actually signed a non-compete contract with my current employer(which means I cannot work for my current client if I switch employer). Now, I'm planning to move to a different employer, but I would be assigned to the same client. Can I argue that since they did not give me the health benefit that they promised me, then it should be okay if I violate the non-compete contract? Do you guys think I have a point of defense?
Thanks!

Dont we need to wear saris and dhotis , we are followers of Gandhian principles ?
We may follow the principles, but we are not all Indian. There will be a significant non Indian presence at the rally.
Please guys, I love your enthusiasm, but lets not confuse the people attending the rally :) You've now made me think for about 30mins about what I should wear tomorrow!
Official dress code, and presentation will be posted in the main thread shortly.
Trust me, we plan to make this one VERY different than illegal rallies.

They do the same n FL and whats worse....they only issue temporary license that expires every year.
Contact your federal/state congress man/senator and protest about this. The cranky wheel gets the oil.

Thank you for all the responses.
One question remains though that what does it mean when the I-94 says paroled till 3rd March 2009?
How does one prove the legal status in the country?

I read somewhere that CBP officers are instructed to make a photocopy themselves if 2 originals are not given.
The photocopying is best left to them as the one you make has potential of having been tampered.
TSC is giving out 2 original copies. I think it would be better to leave atleast one original to CBP officer at POE. Better record keeping on their end is good for future travel. There are designated counters with parole stamp so it is almost gaurenteed that you will be sent to a different counter from visitors line.

Hi - How to complain to USCIS about a fradulant company, What would be the affect of the complain on the employee ? Please advise and provide with any information. I know abot a cheater who exploites innocent students, are there any threads or blogs where there is informtion about fradulant companies, I guess there should be thread about such kind of companes and people running them, so that people do not get into their trap..
Thanks.
Here's the form to complain H1 violations to DOL.
http://www.dol.gov/esa/forms/whd/WH-4.pdf
If you are on H1, better to get it transferred to another employer before complaining, so that your old employer doesn't retaliate by withdrawing your H1.
Thanks.

Hi,
My current EAD will expire in September 2008. It is applied through Company A. I want to change my employer in July to Company B. But I would think during
that time frame I would have already applied for my EAD renewal.
Can I transfer to Company B during this renewal process?
Thanks

Usually I get my Visa stamped in Chennai. I have enough info to survive in Chennai.
This time it is not going to help much as I am going to Mumbai. It is a pain from the first step. I finally got the appointment for 10th Dec. I have to have some body hand deliver documents there in India..Oh well..
I have the appointment at 9:30 AM and was planning to fly out of Mumbai Airport same day at 1:30 PM. Now it looks very ambitious! What do you think? :confused:
I have no idea about lodging near consulate. I tried my luck near the airport many times. It wasn't pretty.
Any recommendation on Hotels and area near consulate ? I am not going near Five star / Rs 10,000 per day.
I am looking at ~ Rs 2,000 for 7 hours..
Any help is appreciated..:)
Waiting Game,
I don't know about Mumbai but, as you know in Chennai, they don't give back the passport until the next day atleast. I got mine 2 days later at Chennai last month, that too by going personally to the VFS office to pick it up. So, you may want to give yourself at least a day for your flight back.
Good luck with your stamping.

Hi kak1978,
what's the process for getting the "Account verification letter for Immigration purposes" from BOA?
Thanks!
I had a account in Bank of America, and they sent me a letter when i asked them to send a "Account verification letter for Immigration purposes" They charged me $10 for that and took around a week. See if you can open a account at a local bank and try transfering the money to that account, Before you decide on opening a account , confirm if they issue such a letter.

Hi ,
I have a problem with my employer. He never paid me ontime and he didn't paid me since April,2010. So i have applied for H1 trasfer as i am having problems with this Employer. My H1 got approved and now my old employer sent me a notice saying i am in breach of agreement and i should not work for the same client and he will sue me for 50,000 dollars .
Then i replied him saying since he is not paying me from past 4 months his agreement got voided as he is in Material Breach of Agreement.
He is still giving me hard time. Can any one please give some suggestions like if i also proceed legally will it be helpful to me .
Thanks,
Srikanth

Hi camberiu,
my PD is November 2001 and we are hoping that next bulletin will get us there. Keeping our fingers crossed. I am from Europe and my husband from Brazil (on H4 and probably the only unemployed software engineer!!!!!) We cannot wait to file and get his EAD! Good luck!
