Are you 100% sure that it's the stamped visa date which will be given on the arrival and not the extension date ?? I was under the impression other way round ?

Hi all,
Here is my story. In December 2004 i went to India and i came back on the same month. At the PortOfEntry(POE), the Officer given I-94 based on the my the Visa of my previous company which is valid upto Jan 1, 2006.
But i had already have approved H1B which is valid upto Jan 21, 2007. At that time, i didn't know it is a problem based on LastActionRule. When the time to file for my H1B extension(basically 7th Year) in the month of November 2006, my attorney find that i am technically out of status because of my I-94 is overriden by PortOfEntry eventhough i had H1B Approval with I-94. My Attorney explained about mistake by POE to USCIS when we filed my H1B extension and the USCIS approved my extension for 1 year from Jan22, 2007 to Mar30, 2008 because my Labor is pending. Recently this march my H1B extended to 3 more years based on I-140 approval.
My question is if i will to India for vacation this November is there any problem in the port of entry. I haven't travelled since Dec,2004. I am going to use AdvanceParole(AP) on this vacation. Eventhough my attorney says there is no problem to go to India because we got two H1B approvals after the I-94 problem, but i am not 100% confident because at the POE they may create a problem. Can anybody please tell if u had same or similar problem and successfully travelled in and out of USA.
Are you using EAD to work or still using H1? If you are using H1 and it is valid the IO at POE will admit you in the non-immigrant status not as a Parolee. This is based on experience and a question I asked the IO when I tried to enter the US using AP even though I had valid H1 stamp in my passport and a valid 797. He mentioned that as a rule they will admit the candidate in non-immigrant status if the candidate is actually working on a non-immigrant visa. If you were are using your EAD and show documentation then they will admit you using AP.
-good luck

Hi All,
I received an RFE on my pending 485 application:
Here is my case:
I am a derivative applicant working on my own H1
Here is the content of the RFE:
1. Please submit a properly completed form G325A. Submit all the documentary evidence to support your employment history listed in form G325A.
2. Clear copies of form W2 wage and Tax statements
3. Complete copies of properly filed Tax returns (IRS Form 1040)
4. Any additional document which confirms your employment history.
5. You must submit a currently dated letter from your intended permanent employer, describing your present job duties and position in the organization, your pre-offered position (if different from your current one) , the date you began employment and the offered salary or wage. Form letters are not acceptable. This letter should be in original and signed by an executive or officer of the organization who is authorized to make or confirm an offer of permanent employment. The letter must also indicate whether the terms and conditions of your employment based visa petition (or labor certification) continue to exist.
I can easily provide all the docs above (from number 1 to 4) but I am surprised why I am asked to provide a letter from my intended permanent employer since I am derivative applicant.
Anyone else in the same boat? please share your experience/ suggestion.
Thanks!

Not illegal if you are also present in the recording.
- son of a lawyer... not a lawyer myself.
hopefulgc is right.....laws vary by each state, but basic rule comes down to atleast one party on both ends consenting for recording. In this case, you have consented yourself for recording & recorded it. Also only if want to make it public this rule applies, If you are recording for your own reference it doesn't apply (disclaimer: consult a professional lawyer...)
Even I faced a similar situation with my manager (of course a desi). He would promise some things (like promotions) & the end of the year he would completely deny any promising like that. So I used my cellphone (most of the cellphones come with a voice recorder feature these days). Whenever he would take me for one-to-one review meetings, i would simply activate the voice record shortcut & keep my cellphone in my upper left pocket; later I when I played I laugh out loud for hours & hours for all the smooth bullshit he talks. Of course I never went public with them, kind of keeping them as secret weapon.

Seems to me you joined IV for then a year now..
Can I ask you simple question.
What is your contribution towards IV.
Contribution could be in any form-- fund/invite friends/send email to reporters/ and so on..
Please answer here to we all will know.
Mr. Sanju,
We are all aware of what going on at the Senate floor and also about the ammendments that put forth on the floor. So my question is clear anc simple what ammendment is supported by CORE IV and what are we looking for.
Because the passing of the current version of the bill will effect all the old cases which many people are in and I wont allow that to happen. I will try my best to avoid this situation to happen. Even though i have a MAster in engineering I will not support SKIL progran that will void the previously pending cases. Good try core IV yto make member to work towards the betterment of few people You know what such people are called" SELFFISH". Guys beware on whaT ACTIONS YOU ARE DOING SO THAT YOU WONT REPENT.

I don't think you are correct. Portability applies after 6 months of I140 approval. But you can not use AC21 for job profile / labor zone change. So, I don't recommend you changing job title.
You are wrong! Portability applies after 485 has been pending for more than 180 days.

Hi Everyone,
I am relatively new to this forum and for the first time, I attended the conf last night and happy to see many people coming forward and discussing the immigration issues. I learned a lot about what IV is trying to do and would like to help IV any possible way by spreading the word.
As discussed last night, I will print out of the flyers and put them inlocal grocery stores and temples.
Best of luck to everyone.

Before you get carried away please note that even in the Specter Bill people filing for status under Title VI have to
(a) Wait for the PDs that are pending when the Act passes to become current.
(b) If the current PDs do not become current in 6 years -- their applications will be "held in abeyance" till the PDs PDs that are pending when the Act passes to become current.
I take the "held in abeyance" to mean that they might get I-485 filing privileges at that point but those applications will not be adjudicated.
So you will not really get your green card after 6 years -- you'll be pending till all current PDs become current. Given that family PDs are still back in 1983 per the April 2006 bulletin, they won't be getting their green cards any time soon.
The parity issue is really that Title VI recognizes that
(1) worldwide and per-country quotas make no sense -- and yet, the immigrants who go through the arduous labor cert process that protects the American worker are subject to per-country quotas.
(2) Workers should be mobile and be able to self-petition -- yet skilled workers going through the labor cert process are tied to employer AND job description for years.

I'm with you, why is everyone so afraid?
God knows there would be enough people for a class action lawsuit against DOL.
My congressman called DOL and they said my case had been withdrawn: but it had been withdrawn b/c of THEIR errors, TWICE!
Both times it was reinstated and proved to be their error, and they are still using it as an excuse for not processing it yet.
And I thought "developed" countries worked differently than "developing" countries.
If IV has enough people interested I would certainly be interested to participate in a CA suit against DOL. I am losing hope that diplomacy will bring any results for us to be helpful.
USCIS only works faster when there have been mandamus suits filed against them, unfortunately no one seems to have done anything with DOL. Maybe it's time
For the lawsuit.
This isnt the first time people have thought that lawsuit against DOL is a good idea.
That is not true. Nothing will be gained from the lawsuit. There have been lawsuits against DOL before for exactly the ineffciency and slowness. Those lawsuits have failed. They will fail again. Being inefficient is not against the law. See the IV document on DOL- backlogs here :
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=67&Itemid=50
Also, read about the lawsuit Liberty Fund v. Chao and judge's opinion on that lawsuit.
And BTW, earlier this year, there were few people on immigration portal collecting money for lawsuit against DOL. I dont know how far it went.

THere are restrictions on applying H1B via multiple employers. THe candidate will be rejected outright. Read the recent guidance on the USCIS website. So hopefully we will not see multiple applications for the same person this year.

Dear Friends
One of the USCIS IO at NSC told me today that processing date of August 10 2007 for I-485 is nothing but a guess work. She said, in reality the processing date is far behind that. When I said I may have better luck predicting Power Ball numbers, she said that could be very much true than predicting what USCIS does.
Remember, in 2004 then USCIS director along with Bush unveiled a grandose plan in which they said by 2006, they will reduce I-140 petition processing times (for that matter any petition processing time) to 180 days. Four years later, things have became worse. Did anyone take responsibility? No. They give excuses.
For example, for my I-140 under EB2-NIW, NSC processing date shows February 27, 2007; and I filed in April 2007. But, I got approved. (no complaints). Technically, they shouldn't have picked up mine.
My friend applied in June 2007 and his I-140 got approved in December 2007 when their online processing date shows November 2006. So, they processed a petition that was filed 11 months ahead of their processing time. Great....
My colleague who shares office with me applied in October 2006 and still waiting to hear until today. Service requests did not do any good to him. Infopass is a pass. They all said he need to have patience... (lots of it).
Many many instances like this. Online processing dates or what the customer service tells you doesn't mean a shit.
The only thing that is good about online posting of processing dates is, we can file a service request which in many cases, after secondary request, tend to accelerate your case. You still need luck.
How many of you hear "your case is with in normal processing time"... I have been waiting for 18 months for my I-140... what the hell in the world normal about it? Only USCIS seem to understand it.
In the nutshell, its a funny and most idiotic agency and you cannot predict what it does. Do the same treatment to US Citizens, USCIS will be dragged into courts and torn apart in talk shows. Since we are non-citizens who are suffering, no body cares.
See, quasi-citizens i.e., people applying for Naturalization have better luck because their local congressman will be making calls and putting fire under USCIS ass because these are potential voters in November. So, they have some leverage. But people who are waiting for green card are no good now... wait for 5 years after you get it, you may have luck in getting their attention.
If you apply for 485, you get finger prints done. After a month, if you apply for EAD, you go again. What? Are your finger prints going to change every one month? What a waste of resources and time? USCIS do these kinds boneheaded things all the time.
Only thing that will get you green card faster is "Luck".
Good luck to all of us.
I fully understand your frustration and I am equally frustrated with them as you are. Sometimes I feel angry, sometimes frustrated and many a times I have the feeling of helplessness. I am not powerful enough to curse them. What an unfair organization ?

The FBI name check is a bottleneck agreed. BUTTT It has NOTHING to do with the recent VB fiasco!
Some people were approved by the USCIS even WITHOUT the name checks. This is entirely a US Dept of State vs USCIS mess.
