My company ( biggie US firm) filed 140 and 485 on a substituted LC on July 2.
Now my own LC which was pending in BEC (and which has better PD) is approved. Can I file 140 on this? Since substitution is risky, I want to use this 140 for my 485 (over the substituted one) ? How do I do that?
Do I need physical copy of my approved LC to file 140?
Replies will be greatly appreciated

Need advise - bumping this up...
Many of you must have filed for their AP - can you please share with me what is the best and the safest way to get my application to USCIS?
I was looking for some tracking to know the app got delivered and do it overnight so it gets there in a day.
Wasn't sure if UPS/fed-ex delivers to PO box addresses or should I just stick to USPS?
Also, whether some kind of delivery tracking can be done on PO box addresses?
Please advise folks... Thanks in advance for your help!
I filed my AP online and mailed documents via USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation. No issues of any kind. AP was approved in approx. 45 days, I believe.

I am willing to take the lead and the initiative for sending faxes to congressman for the CIR.
I am going to take an off tomorrow for this and dedicate my whole time for this.
I need some volunteers who can help me in putting up the letter together for this and other activities.
There are different action items required to do this
1. Draft the letter which communicates in a clear and precise way our agenda.
2. Get as many number of immigrants to send the fax.
3. Step by Step guide or a page on website where an end user can enter the information and send the fax.
No Donation or travel is required for the rally, just a few minutes of your 24 hours is required to do this.
Only who want to volunteer for any of the 3 action items please reply to this and no one else.. this is my humble request... I am a very focussed guy and do not want any distraction in this activity. As part of the 3rd action item another thread will be posted with the instructions on how to do that in the quickest and the best way.
I am putting up a poll and at the end of the day I'll send the conf call number as well for the volunteers.
And thanks in advance to all the volunteers. and also if you don't volunteer doesn't make you any less than a volunteer, if you support and help building this community stronger and much closely knitted.

Bush and the others were sure to have a bill by the end of the year 2006, did you see any bill (beside the Bill wall) ?
No, so don`t worry...nothing will happen.
well they tried it did'nt happen because of Republican controled house, we now have Democratic controled house who favor more towards CIR, I think Bush working with Republican senators to get approval for his bill
atleast this is the only issue where president and democrats come close to agreeing on,
Question, does Democrats puts politics ahead by not giving credit to Bush for resolving immigration is the real issue
I do see more chances this year ofcourse this will be do or die situation for many immigration hopefuls

Hi All
I am very confused with the entire Green Card process. Any help will be much appreciated. I will give a background.
I have an experience of almost 6 years and work in an reputed Indian IT firm on H1B for a US bank. I am working in US on H1B for past 4 years. My wife is doing an MBA from a reputed US university on H4 visa.
What Employment Based Green Card category am I eligible for? How long does it take to get EAD approval from the beginning of the process? Can my wife work only after the EAD is approved?
Regards

I was told if you have valid stamping you do not need get new stamping even if you changed the employer. All you need is to give the new approval notice at the POE.

That is true, and I know a lot of people who did that including my wife in 2006.

Folks, please help:
I had submitted both parents' affidavit along with my 485. Now i got RFE with only 3 weeks to reply. My name and DOB is diff in my BC so it's of no use and they won't issue NABC. I recvd BC from consulate and i am going to submit it along with a copy of my 10th grade leaving cert.
My questions are:
1. Can USCIS deny 485 solely due to lack of BC/NABC ? if yes then What are the chances of denial ?
2. If the officer does not think that consulate BC is enough, will they deny 485 or issue another RFE?
3. Do you know anyone whose 485 was denied simply for no BC/NABC reason?
4. My 485 was (wrongfully) denied few months ago when my ex revoked the approved I-140, could this affect the future processing of the case -vely (i hope not) ?
Thanks in advance.
I can not say on on Q1 or Q3 but for Q2, I am told by attorney USCIS does not entertain BC from consulate or BC issued by school board.

I see no reason why you cant move to permanent offer.
Is it not risky to move when your RFE response is pending? I worked for just 2 employers for 9 yrs between 2000 -- 2009
then since March I have so far been with 2 employers and now 3rd PERM offer.. I am concerned if that can create issues..

Hi,
If you are entering Unites States now on H1B then, you should get 3 Years, I think as per law you do not have to extend your visa after 2.5 months. Please discuss this with your company Attorney (Lawyer) regarding this. because if one takes vacation days on H1B that is not counted on 3 years of H1B so I think you can demand 3 years in stead of extending. because of the administrative mess USCIS does why one suffer?
All the very best to you.
Welcome to the USA
may GOD Bless

I have a question regarding where to file my EAD renewal application. I am a July filer NJ resident and my I-485/EAD/AP were sent to Nebraska and got the AP/EAD approved through Nebraska going by my LIN no. As per the (C)(9) rules it says NJ residents should file to Texas service center and somewhere else I read that my EAD renewal application should be sent to the location where my I-485 is getting processed.
Please share your experiences.
Thanks
You will need to send your application to TEXAS because you live in NJ. It does not matter 1. where you sent it last year 2. what service center approved it last year 3. if your EAD card # starts with LIN/EAC/WAC.
Please do not get confused, stick to what the latest instruction document says:

UK and other countries in Europe must be smoking pot to think that they tap into the pool of skilled migrant workers returning from US. These people are returning back to their home countries primarily due to the recent advancements in their own countries, and to some extent due to the GC & visa mess in US.
The working (& living) condition in Europe is not as good as it is in US, and the scope for personal advancement is not as good as it is in India, China, Brazil, and many other countries. Why would anyone do a stop over in between? And that too in UK - the country with the most racism than any other European country, may be with the exception of Germany. Just look at how it reversed its GC policy (a scheme called by some other BS name).
Believe me - I'm speaking from more than 8 years of living and extensive travel in that region. You don't want to do that.
Not only India, also Britain and many more want to benefit from the high-skilled workers that the U.S. is already kicking out so they can let in more illegal Salvadoran maids:

Hi KaylaMarie,
Any non-profit institution which engages in research/ collaboration with an university is H1b-cap exempt. Also H1B cap-exemption is possible if you work at a non-profit/ university, but not paid by it (e.g. paid by some other company).
My wife came from India 2 months ago. She has a degree in biostatistics and is in a similar situation. If you would like to get in touch, let us know.

Got this from the Chennai US consulate website.
I apologise if this info is old - i had never heard of the US consulate issueing "B1 in lieu of H1" visa.
B-1 in Lieu of H
Any person holding a B1 or B1/B2 visa may be eligible to perform H-1B work in the United States as long as they fulfill the following criteria:
Hold the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor�s degree
Plan to perform H-1B-caliber work or training
Will be paid only by their foreign employer, except reimbursement of incidental travel costs such as housing and per diem. The employee must not receive any salary from a U.S. source.
The task can be accomplished in a short period of time.
These travelers would be admitted as B1 visitors, and may only stay in the U.S. for the time allotted by the Department of Homeland Security upon entry.
Like any other B1/B2 applicant, travelers must still show strong professional, familial and financial or other ties, which indicate a strong inducement to return to the country of origin or another country other than the United States.
Consulate General Chennai is prepared to issue B1/B2 visas to qualified applicants for this purpose. These visas may also be used for tourism. Current holders of B1/B2 visas may already use this provision without seeking another visa.
When seeking a visa for this purpose, please clearly explain this in the applicant�s BEP cover letter.
If the applicant and employer so chooses, they may also apply for a more limited B1 visa with the annotation �B-1 in lieu of H.� These visas may not be used for pleasure travel.
The Customs and Border Patrol agents at Ports of Entry are aware of this provision. If asked at the border, applicants are advised to explain completely their purpose of travel and that they will not be paid from sources based in the United States. Travelers are encouraged to carry a letter from their host company and Indian employer listing the traveler�s duties, length of stay and remuneration plans.

Dear Viewers
Could anyone please advice me on how to claim the unpaid salary from the previous employers.
I was working for a company based in Michigan run by an Indian. This person did not pay me my last month salary. He does not pick up his phone or respond to my email. I have all the proof that my client has paid him the money for which I worked but he continue to ignore my request. This guy owes me around 5000 dollars.
Any piece of advice would be of great help.
WH-4 form is for complaining to dol

This proves that the faxes sent via the webfax features are actually reaching the senators. I received a reply from Senator Specter's office too.
As far as the content of the replies goes, this proves again that to a lot of lawmakers, immigration = ILLEGAL immigration. It is upto us to educate them of our plight too.
Wam4Wam, can you call up your senator's office and speak to the immigration liaision? Explain to him that when you sent the fax to them, you had asked for considering pro immigrant legislation for legal immigrants.
You can ask the liaision for a meeting too. We have all the necessary resources you need for such a meeting on our resources website. The CA team has been successfully using these resources. And please update this thread too so that others may learn from you
Sometimes the senators, reps, have a prewritten document that they send out to anyone asking them about immigration reforms, that addresses the immigration issues. Notice how the reply faxes do not specifically address the issues we have raised, this is why.
But replies from some senators and reps are genuine and they do talk about the issues we raise.
