i thought same as u in that apprval has to be by 31 july, however my lawyer says i can file if approved 1 to 16 aug. confusing as heck
It's debatable...the announcement from USCIS says anyone whose priority date is current as of July 2007...One way of interpreting is anyone who filed as of July 31, your priority date is current as of July 2007. But in order to file concurrent 140 and 485, you have to have your labor approved. This is why people who are stuck at BEC's cannot file since they don't have their approval yet even though they filed long back. This is just my 2 cents. You can find lawyers who agree on this and disagree, it's one of the gray areas....I'm in the same situation, waiting for my PERM from Atlanta..filed in Feb. If I get my approval before Aug 17th, I plan to file.

Tell me them that even though you are not from the same constituent, the Congressmen will be voting on these bills once tabled in the Congress and you are requesting to support the bill
Thanks for your reply. I called all the other offices but glad to say did not encounter that again. One rep. did ask me where I was from and said that Congressmen will only reply if you are from his constituency but will certainly pass on my message.
Left a message for Congressmen Henry Cuellar, as the immigration staffer was not on his desk.

My passport is going to expire on 13th Sept, 2011. Any idea if I can renew my passport now, or do I have to wait till september,2010?
Thanks in advance.
Better to renew right away. You can renew up to 6 months before expire date.

I got 3-year H-1B extension till 09/2010 based on approved I-140 from current employer. Similarly, my wife's H4 status is approved till 09/2010. My wife filed for a new H-1B and her change of status from H-4 to H-1B is still pending (she has a receipt number and got selected in the lottery). Assuming her H-1B approval comes through, the start date will be from 10/01/2007. So far good.
Now, I found a new job and the employer is willing to do the H-1B transfer. My wife's H4 needs extension too. What will happen if her H4 extension comes till 09/2010 with a pending H-1B? What will happen if her H-1B comes before H4 extn?
Is it possible to extend her H4 only till 09/30/2007?
Please help, I need to inform my new employer by noon tomorrow whether I accept the job or not. My PD is June 6, 2003 in EB3 category. I missed out by 5 days. The bulletin confused me further whether to move or stay put in my current job hoping my PD will become current in the next bulletin.

My wife is presently volunteering for a non profit.
Does the H1b for non profit have the same requirements as in 4 year degree? Or three year degree with a work experience? What if the job does not require advanced degree?

Definitely agree with herd mentality and haste, but can't blame them also. What if the dates go back again next month. So its a catch-22.
good luck to everyone.
What i am trying to say here is firstly reaching congressman should not be on the first day itself which some of the folks are doing, atleast wait for a a couple of weeks. and then regarding opening SR i would say atleast wait for around a week or 10 days at the minimum if you are scared of dates moving back. And yes i am not pointing fingers at any individual so don't take it personally "gc_on_demand"

Not to sound too needy (reminds me of a saying back in my home country "ungli diya to hath pakadke kandhe pe chad gaya")
I know I know nothing cant beat the "KLPD" remark someone made few posts back
It seems there were 4 COSPONSORS for this amendment.
Sen Snowe, Olympia J. [ME] - 1/24/2007
Sen Sununu, John E. [NH] - 1/24/2007
Sen Landrieu, Mary L. [LA] - 1/24/2007
Sen Lieberman, Joseph I. [CT] - 1/24/2007
Most likely they have no clue to what�s going on, or they are genuinely interested in helping us. I'm going to email them and ask if they know about this amendment. And if they reply positively maybe ask them would they do this again sometime soon :) maybe with some tweaks and changes.

Thank you Chanduv23 for your participation in the advocacy efforts. It is heartening to see that members who have received green cards take the active role of advocating for changes that their fellow immigrant friends are not yet out of.
We have shantanup, vin13, and chanduv23 - all received GCs last year - all three have participated in the advocacy efforts in the past - and here they are again! Thank you.
This should inspire members who are still waiting to get their GCs to be in DC.

My wife got her approval documents yesterday. Effective H1 date on I-94 starts from Oct 2007. Anyone knows how soon can she file for SSN or does she have to wait till Oct 1st.
She obviously cannot wait till Oct 1st or she won't get paid for the first week (at least). Contact the SSN office to find out how soon you have to file. In my opinion, you are eligible to get an SSN the moment you receive work authorization (even if its for a future date).

Please correct us if you feel it is wrong to send the letter typed below:
All we are writing is:

Dear Senator
I am a highly-skilled professional who entered this country legally. I’ve been waiting for my US permanent resident visa -also known as "Green Card" for the past several years along with 500,000 other educated, highly skilled employment based (EB) immigrants. Many of us have been waiting for our turn to get Green Cards for 5-10 years while consistently abiding by all the laws of this country. Such long delays are due to tortuous and confusing paper work, backlogs due to various quotas and processing delays at US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), other allied state and federal agencies.
Several categories of EB immigrant visa (Green Card) numbers were unavailable (“retrogressed”) since the fall of 2005. Because our immigrant petitions are tied to the sponsoring employer.
For the past several decades, the US Department of State (DOS) has been publishing advisories known as visa bulletins once a month to announce the availability of immigrant visa numbers. On June 13, 2007, after a gap of nearly two years, DOS announced that all EB visa numbers would be “current” for the month of July. This meant, irrespective of our “priority date” (date assigned to us for our turn in the line for Green Cards), all of us were made eligible to apply for some interim immigration benefits. This “priority date” refers to the date when our labor certification (documentation verifying no US citizen worker was available for a given job) had been filed.
Please note that 6/13 DOS announcement would not have led to immediate green card for most of us; but at least it would have ensured us interim benefits such as the right to travel and right to work for any employer- this was still a welcome change. Especially, for dependent spouses who are otherwise unable to work, this would have translated into right to travel and work without restriction and thus channel their energies positively. Several dependent spouses are also highly-skilled.
Tens of thousands of applicants spent thousands of dollars in legal fees, immigration medical exams & vaccinations & getting various supporting documents ready to file our immigrant petitions to USCIS, at times inconveniencing our old parents in our home countries as well. It has been an agonizing two weeks for us. Some of us to had to fly in our spouses from our home countries or have had to cut short business trips. Hundreds of millions of dollars were spent by thousands of immigrants in preparation of their application. To our shock and dismay, on the morning of July 2nd 2007, USCIS announced that EB visa numbers were not available and all petitions filed in July would be rejected.
For the legal skilled immigrants this has been a rather traumatizing and disheartening experience. These are people that are in the country legally, paid taxes and followed all the rules.
We sincerely seek immediate congressional/ legislative remedial measures which would
(1)Reduce the enormous backlogs of green card petitions of legal skilled immigrants
(2)Ensure and request USCIS not to reject our immigrant visa petitions filed in July and provide us interim benefits of a pending immigrant visa petition. We make this sincere request with the hope that people who played by the rules will be rewarded.

Unfortunately your friend is correct - the alternate I can think is withdraw your present application and file I-140 and I-485 simultaneously now - other please tell whether this will be a good approach for their benefit. Can EB3 file concurrently I 140 and I 485.
On my wife's labor certificate, it is said her position requires a minimum of master degree. But the alternate is bachelor degree plus 2 years' experience. The lawyer has filed I-140 under EB2.
We are worried that this position does not qualify EB2 because we read on the internet that EB2 requires master degree or bachelor plus at least 5 years' progressive experience. We called the lawyer and said we heard from a friend such a case had been denied. She was very busy and just said there was no problem to apply for Eb2, and if we doubt it, we can hire our friend as a lawyer. We are so pissed off.
Can someone help me clarify if this position is qualified for EB2? do we need to change it to Eb3?
Thanks.
