Graduated from college last year, finally found a job that I really like. Currently on OPT. Just curious to know how long will it take for employer to apply for labor and I-140.
I know most of you are thinking - "are you mad, esp with current gc situation? " the thing is I like it here. My relatives and friends are here. I am hoping that with so many people stuck in the gc process, somebody has to fix it soon - and I (& other newcomers) will benefit from better immigration policy.
can any one let me know how long the initial stages take currently?
the answer lies in your id. :D

I think it would be better idea to call them and find out their hours of operation. The address is usually given on the FP notice letter.
All the best!
I think: We donot have a choice. We have to show up on the day and time given on FP notice. If we can't- we have to request uscis for re-scheduling.

I just got my labor approved for Masters degree and 3 years exp.
I have 3 years B.Sc degree and 3 years MCA degree from India and my education eval. shows it as equivalent to MS in computer Science.
In form ETA 750, under section 14, I have following data
College degree required:
Master of Science
Major field of study
Comp Sci/Engg,Info Sys Engg
Experience
3 years
Other fields under section 14 and 15 are blank.
RIR Advertisement has mentioned following
" Must have MS in Computer Science or Engineering, Information Systems Engineering or foreign degree equivalent with 3 years of relevant work experience."
I am little confused about "College degree required:" field. It only says "Master of Science". Should it be "Master of Science Or foreign equivalent"?

Hi sbmallik ,
Thanks for your reply. what's the continuous employment criteria? Is the reason my attorney enter '5/17' instead of '5/15'?
I have a letter from HR and saying the last day at my previous company was '5/15'. very boring!!!!
I will fell more comfortable if the experience letter mentions the last day as 5/17/2009. Otherwise I will simply mention it as April 2009. This way the continuous employment criteria will be met.

a) Can I move to a different company now? Since my H1 extension is based on I-140 approval, I am not sure if this can be used to transfer to new company.
Yes, you can find another employer willing to hire you and sponsor your H1. Since you have an approved I-140, your new employer can use a copy of your I-140 approval notice and get a fresh 3 yr H1 extension
b) When I do a H1 transfer now, Will I get my H1 date till Apr 2012 as per my current H1 approval notice or just for the few more months I had on my original H1B?
You will get a 3 yr H1 extension
c) What will happen to my labor and I-140 after my H1 transfer? My labor was originally applied in EB3 category. Can I file a new one in EB2 category after transferring to the new company?
You cannot directly file your I-485 when your PD is current if you change employers. Your new employer has to start the process all over again from scratch (in any category depending on your job requirement). New employer will have to file PERM/I-140 but can use your old EB-3 PD from the I-140 approval to file I-485.

Unless the first company cancels their H1B
they don't need to cancel the H1.As he might have been already working for company B.company A might have stopped running payrol for him..so he is already out of status.

I don't intend to get a second H-1.. The second job that I want to do is just 3-5hrs a week and dont want any sponsorship for it.
Even if you work 1 hour a week, you need an H1 to be able to put on payroll at the other company. Otherwise, it constitutes illegal employment.

Not sure about specific places, but in general problems are when you are coming back to US.
If you have stamped and valid h1b for returning back to US, you should be fine.
I have not had any issue or heard of any issues while visiting mexico, hawaii or alaska
HTH
Hawaii and Alaska are states that are part of US and you are free to travel anywhere in the 50 states of US without the need to show Visa or travel Document. However its not the same with Mexico. Its a different country.

I have a approved I-140. Applied for 3 year H1 extension in Oct 2006. 3 year H1 extension approved on 5th Feb 2007. Received H4 dependents extensions. Did not receive my I-797. Requested my consulting company to check why I did not receive my I-797 with I-94. They lied to me that they called USCIS and I/they/lawyer will get copy in 30/45 days. My MN drivers license got canceled/suspended on 04/24/2007 because I did not submit approved I-797/I-94. Company lawyer informed my company that they applied under premium processing for duplicate copy on 04/16/2007. I called USCIS and they told me this is bullshit. There is no premium processing for duplicate document. Lawyer does not want to reveal which form he filed for duplicate document. I also applied this week using form I-824 for duplicate copy of approved H1 extension. Called USCIS, and they said I will get a receipt number in 15 days and copy in 2-3 months. This copy will not include I-94, so it is useless. What options do I have. My lawyer is an American and he thinks it is below his dignity to answer my calls.
What options do I now have? Any options will be appreciated.
I think you can file Form 120 for a duplicate I 94 in case it is lost/mutilated etc. please check USCIS website. hope this helps

Please help me taking decision whether to take chance (& visit India) or not. will appreciate any advises especially from ppl with such recent experience. Thanks.
Will you be affected by the employer-employee memo? It is based on this memo that many of the problems are arising. Talk to your lawyer too about it.

Can someone please explain what is Form G-639 for . I googled on G-639 but it seems my case fits more on cases when this shouldn't be used. Please please someone please try to understand. All I have is my SSN and all I know is my I-140 is being filed and approved. I don't have the SRC number.

First complete your profile so person who is viewing your case understands you better.
You have enough time. Find new job and then new employer can process your Eb2 GC. I-140 can be done in 15 days with premium processing.

Thanks all for attending the meetup. It is very important to keep the chapter active.
Minutes of the Meeting:
nixtor updated the chapter on:
(1) State Department's Forecast on the Visa Bulletin for the remainder of the year
(2) Immigration legislation progress on the hill & WH so far
(3) Miken Institute Global conference on Housing and Immigration.
The DC/MD/VA chapter decided to meet every month and one of the agenda is to have more members participate voluntarily and contribute which is very vital for our efforts.
Thanks,
Rayoflight

Dear Vatsa,
I'll tell you what it takes.
It takes strength, both in membership and money. And the former helps bring the latter.
Please help introduce a member to IV by Jan 15th. Help create our own voice (to break the annoying silence that you talk about).
Encourage others to participate in the Add ONE Member campaign started by IV.
Thank you.
Absolutely right. Join the Add a member campaign. We already achieved a minor goal of becoming 8000 strong way before the goal-date of Jan15th. But we really need to be 10,000+ strong.

Hello,
My Present H1B stamp is with company A and expires November 20 2007. Now I'm with company B and with this I have my petetion (H1B approval) which expires June 20 2008. Now I'm travelling to India for my marriage and coming back September 8. I'm not getting the new stamp this time. Will I have any problem during the immigration ??
Also with my present papers, my wife would be attending her visa Interview on Sep 4. Will there be any problem for her at the interview ???
Thanks in Advance
