Dont Advertise on the board and we are not doing call center jobs here to learn american accent.
by saying this, you are belittling the people who do call center jobs in india.
speaking without a thick indian accent can be great for your career..because, while communication skills may not be important to be a programmer, it does get important when you are speaking in a meeting, or giving a presentation .
having said that, i would ask the admins to delete this thread. This is just advertising. Im sure all of us can google ways to improve our communication skills/improve english/speak in american accent or whatever it is we want to do.

Do you know which attorneys sent this E-mail? Can you please post those E-mails after removing personal details?
"===============================================
It is advised to all the employees not to travel out of the country for visa stamping nor vacations, if it can be avoided. Right now, there are reports of many visa denials at the consulates abroad and even the US Port of Entry. Unless it is absolutely inevitable, travel should not be undertaken.
If travel is a must, it is advised to the employees to carry the following supporting documents:
1. Employer provided copies of recruitment activity stating that they attempted to hire US citizens but failed - THIS WILL BE HARD TO ESTABLISH
2. The usual check list for H stamping and employment verification at the US port of entry
The general advise is even for AP holders (Advance Parole) to refrain from traveling outside the US, if you can.

Usually when a lawyer gets blacklisted, there's lots of chaos. The lawyer's new reputation spreads like wildfire and there's a lot of staff changed. A lot of clients fall out.
In my case, I kept good relationships with other clients of my lawyer. I also became good friends with my lawyer's secretary due to being a customer for over 5 years. Yes, that's unfortunately how long I've waited.
All of them told me the same story. Too many miracles, case got investigated, blacklisted.
Ontopic: any other opinions please? A simple what is involved in the process would be greatly appreciated.

I am not part of the founder org. but I am just shocked at the venom you show in all your messages.
Your goals so far has been
1. Complain and rant about things.
2. Discourage people for participating in IV.
3. Trying to do a "divide-and-conquer" within IV.
IV is for all legal EB based immigration - it is very clear in the mission statement what is its goal.
Also, even if IV was as myopic as you claim, future generations of EB immigrants wll benefit simply by virtue of the fact that people currently in line will not fight with them for GC.
I have been an IV member for a long time, from the days when IV was 50 people org. One of the goals of IV has been to avoid personally maligning people, so I will refrain from that, but if you want to take up this matter, send me a PM with your email address. My email address is mrajatish AT yahoo.com.

Hi you might also need the copy of the labor? or atleast the number for that one?
Nope, not needed. You only need a copy of your approved I-140.

I donate blood with the American Red Cross once every 2 months.
The limit that you cannot donate if you visit India is 1 year, per them due to India being infested by (clearing my throat) 'MALARIA'.
You are Ok if you just visitied the Himalayas and got back, though. The virus or whatever that causes it cannot live on high altitudes.
this is a very good idea..but theres only one problem..we had gone to a blood donation drive to give blood..but were not allowed to because they do not take blood from people who have visited third world countries like India in the past 3 yrs.
so we can organise a campaign like this..but blood can be donated only by people who havent visited any third world countires in the past 3 yrs.

Yes, my school did query with USCIS and got the confirmation that I am at AOS stage. I got AP valied for one year, but I did talk to the school stating that since I am within USA I will not get I-94 as I-94 is given to people who are entering from outside. As my new AP is issued by USCIS it is a valied document.
My FAO communicated with their International Students office who handles immigration issues to confirm this and I got my Loan approved.
Good Luck
Hi desimass77. How do you convince the school that you are qualified?
My wife has a similar situation. We tried to convince school that we are qualified under "parolee" category. However, my wife's I-94 expires (she entered US using AP last June). Her school uses this reason to reject again. Now, we decide to re-enter US again to get a fresh I-94.
Her school officials say that they are going to query USCIS database once my wife gets a new I94 stamp. It is something called G-845 form.
Just curious, did you school query USCIS database on your case? Or your school just think yo are qualified?
I think the "parolee" category is really ambiguous, since it requires student to enter US with parole for at least one year. On the other hand, it wants I-94 unexpired. AP can hardly fit into this category, as if we entered US, the valid length is usually less than 1 year, unless we re-enter US on the exact same date when the AP was issued.
Please, if anybody successfully convinced school on FAFSA, please share your experience here!

Hello,
An approved H1-B petition is an approval for you to undertake employment within US, while a H1-B stamp is to allow you to knock on the US door (PoE) where an IO will decide whether to let you in or not.
There is no requirement that states that legally you must be working continuously within US if you are on H1-B (if anyone knows otherwise, he/she should post the appropriate link).
In short, you should not have any issue at all. The IO will ask why you were out of US and you can tell him/her that you were out 'cause you were consulting from India and not working in US for the past year. You should keep the new offer letter with you to prove to the IO that you have a new job within US now and that's why you want to enter the country.
Do consult a lawyer, but IMHO, you should be fine as a fiddle! :)

How do we know if our case is pre-adjudicated or nor, is it only a guess based on PD, that a case may pre-adjudicated.
Today, I called uscis, and asked if my case is pre-adjudicated or not. I was told that the rep does not have access to my personal info.
PD - July 2004-EB2
I 485 RD - Aug 17, 2007 and ND - Oct 16, 2007

fatjoe,
There was an article that came out and here is the link to it: TSC-NSC update (http://imminfo.com/News/2009-AILA/TSC-NSC_update.html)
As the way I understood it, even your PD is not current, they are starting to pre-adjudicate some cases so that the Visa Center would know more or less how many visas are needed and how big the backlog is. This effort tries to eliminate unused visas and utilize most of it. So the way I see it is, USCIS pre-adjudicates cases, then those who are "pre-approve" will be sorted on a different place maybe database which will be submitted to the Visa Center. Now, once your PD comes (Visa Center is the one responsible for monthly Visa Bulletin), Visa Center will tell USCIS that this case is ok, USCIS then sends you your GC.
I was going through this forum and I have read some instances where the officer on the phone will or will not tell you if your case is pre-approve. So what they do is call back again and hoping that officer will divulge such information to you.

Here's my story, I'll try to make it short. Aug. '04 LC applicant. Filed for I-140 & I-485 (conc.) in Feb. '07. FP done in April. Received an e-mail from USCIS on 8.17.07 stating that an RFE letter has been issued for me on 8.16.07. Last friday (8.24.07) called my attorney, she said they haven't received it. She said they (their law firm) have changed their office location and informed USCIS in general, but not for each specific application they have filed, so it might take 3 weeks before we receive the FRE letter and usually there's a 30 day deadline for applicant to respond. Well, I got scared a little. I called USCIS customer service. The operator said she doesn't have access to specifics of case, e.g. nature of RFE letter, timeline for response (30, 42, 84 days) & etc. She also said there's zero chance for an extension to be granted to the applicant, if he can't provide the requested document within the timeline allowed by USCIS.
I called my attorney again. She said she had mailed all documents along with the application, except for previous work experience (which will be from my home country since I've worked for only 1 employer since I came to the U.S. in 2004)
Now my question is:
1- What if I don't receive the RFE letter in time?
2- Any loops to gain an extension if I can't make it before 30 days?
3- Any ways to find out about the nature of FRE letter?
4- Does this mean that I'll easily lose everything including 4 years of waiting if I just don't receive the RFE letter in time and can't provide them with what they're asking for? (Someone please answer NO to this question! :( )
5- Any advices, suggestions, similar experiences, ideas or solutions?
I appreciate any kind of feedback on this, since I'm almost shaking in here!

Hey guys,
See guys, My original LC was approved with PD of 2003 from this same company but I-140 was denied due to A2p and now is in appeal. This lc sub is from other worker with lower salary and he left the company 3 yrs ago and I am still working here. It's not like a desi consultancy where they sell approved labor, hold your h1 so you can't transfer your h1, get pay cut and put innocent people's status in jeopardy and create problem for everyone else who want to do LC sub in a honest way. It's a genuine LC substitution and I want to do it as long as the law allow me to do that.
I am also fraustrated with USCIS messed up policy of doing whatever they want and hopefully something will work out for all of us in good way!
thanks

Thanks for the reply! That was very helpful .
Do I still have to be employed by my original sponsor when i get the appt after 6 months?
If I return to the US in a few months do I still have to option of filing 485 even though I've already applied for CP in India?
Yes. If you are CP, you must intend to work for your sponsoring employer. That does not mean you need to work for that employer in India, but when you receive your GC, you have to work for the sponsor.
You can file an I-485 later if you wish, even if you are in the CP queue...if you enter the US in a way that permits AoS...that is, I don't think you can enter on a B1 tourist visa, then file AoS, but if you can get an H1b, you will be fine to file I-485.
