Can anyone please recommend a lawyer in Delhi for filling and helping in the I-824 or councillor processing for my Wife.
I am looking for a lawyer , who has office in both Delhi and in USA , so they can take care of the complete process.
I.e filing I-824 in USA and helping in india to prepare for the interview
If not in delhi , then please recommend any where in India :)
Also any idea , how much would it cost.
Thanks in advance
It is Consular Processing
Is it EB based?
Sheela Murthy has office in Chennai. But if you ask me you do not need attorney.
Otherwise you can get an attorney here. Most of the paper work is done here. All you need to do is to take packet for the interview.

Keep on calling SSN office and ask the status. After 1month ask them to expedite the request. It may take morethan 6months also as the systems are not in sync and ssn has to get confirmation from uscis.

I suggest we start with a parallel campaign to increase the number of IV members . Each IV member to bring in atleast one new member .
Steps to take:
Explanation : Explain, Teach /Preach or do whatever it takes to tell people about IV and what its mission is. Many people think IV is just a propaganda. SHOW them what IV has done. Tell them about the Rally Tell them about the FLower campaign . Make then visit the site
Reasoning : Make them understand that the EAD or the Labor that they are sitting on was not gotten thru some magic wand. It was thru efforts . Efforts of us IVians.
If we are able to get one person each to enroll. I am sure atleast 20 % of the new enrollees will start to understand IV and maybe contribute to it as well
This is something that can be done sitting where u r without any special effort. Let go IVians . This is one of the easiest things to do
CORE team please help and support.

gckidhamal,
RFE is very clear, basically they are asking the documents, which has Picture ID, where your name was mentioned as Pravin, PRaveenkumar and Pravinkumar.
I dont think u will be able to produce the picture Id for the birth certificate, but for the passport or any other state issued ID, you might be able to have some kind of picture Id dcument which bears your photo.
Please consult a good attorney who can deal with this situation, this is very unusual circumstances where you appeared to have 3 different names in 3 different doucments and the USCIS IO is confused on how to deal with this situation and requesting the evidence just to make sure that he is issuing GC to appropriate person.
I know in india it is possible to have these kind of mistakes, but unfortunately USCIS doesnt understand it. you have to have to good attorney to respond this RFE.

thx for ur inputs newbie2020. yes, i know that it is a conditional GC to start with.
my concern was - as far as i know, i cannot work actively for my own business on H-1B. hence i wanted to know if i could continue working on H-1B, apply for GC under EB-5 and then start the business after getting it.
attorneys, do u hv anything to add to what newbie2020 has said?

Dont waste your time for FOIA. You will never got it. I have personally applied for FOIA one and half year back and yet to see any response. I really doubt I will ever get a copy of I-140.
In fact I have not seen or heard of anyone getting I-140 copy based on FOIA. Everyone just said they applied or should get the copy someday; that's it. May be you should just go ahead and apply anyway. It has to negative effect but do not plan anything based on it. For example, you will change job after you get the copy or something like that than you will be waiting forever.
Hi guys,
Does anyone know, When to apply for FOIA for I-140 ? After or Before Approval of I-140. Coz I don't know whether my I-140 is approved or not yet.
Or should we wait until the processing dates cross our reciept dates ?
Anyone who did this successfully, pls enlighten the members.

I got my I-140 (EB3) approved with the priority date of November-2004.
I applied another Labor (EB2) in Feb 2007. When applygin for I-140 for this labor, my lawyer forgot to use the approved I-140 for getting the old priority date (Nov 2004 priority). So, I got the I-140 approval for EB2 case with Feb 2007 Priority date.
Now, can the lawyer change the priority date on the I-140 (EB2) to Nov 2004 using the previous I-140.

Your new company must sponsor your H1 before the old company send the request to cancel your H1.
Once revoked, you have probably couple of weeks to pack up. So, its best you get started on the new H1 before the old H1 is revoked.

Any comments?
actually if you track the threads on immigrationportal.com, a ton of old-timers have gotten their GCs. A large number of these were EB3-India [2001-2004], so that 18k number does not look odd to me.
Does it look odd to you? Why?

Hello
I am working in the US on H1-B visa, and would like to start a company which would develop iphone applications which would have accompanying websites where people would register and pay a monthly service fee.
I have read the various forums and it appears that I can be a passive investor in the company and not assume any role or work for the company even in a volunteer fashion.
I would like to however fulfill my entrepreneurial dream and would like to take on the role on the CEO of the company. So, can I start the company in India (my country of birth) e take on the role of the CEO and then start a company over here as a passive investor and then do the leg work for expanding the business in US.
Please advise.

I am now "current" with Nebraska and the latest Visa Bulletin. I have completed all other hurdles (including finger printing) how long should I expect now to wait now for my green card to be adjudicated ?
Also, I have no idea about the FBI name check.. How do you even know if your file is being held up because of an FBI name check ?
My status
The March 2008 Visa Bulletin indicates they are proceessing up to priority date of 01 Jan 2005 (my PD date is Jan 2004)
And
Nebraska Service Center Processing Dates -posted Feb 15 2008- indicates a I-485 EB �processing time frame� of July 30th 2007 (my receipt date is June 12 07/Notice date July 10 2007.
Perhaps some of you had a similar experience and can kindly share how long you waited in the final step for the GC once you were "current".
thank you !

It is not illegal. Some companies apply for extensions a bit late and in the mean time, the VISA expires. It is OK. At the most he/she will not be able to drive as the drivers license is linked to the VISA expiry.
Fine then of course.

Dear IV Members,
For those of us who have followed the immigration debate for last couple of years, we know that Stuart Anderson is one of the few sane voices when it comes to high skilled immigration.
Stuart has recently published a complete book on Immigration and how it applies to business and economics. The book also covers important background and relevant history of the Immigration bills, key players and how the events around us affect us all. Here is the link to the recently published must read book by Stuart -

Silicon Valley Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
A quick review of the list of largest H-1B (http://www.geelaw.com/lawyer-attorney-1054805.html)users for FY 2009 shows high tech and Silicon Valley topping the list. The top users of the H-1B program for 2009 included multi-national technology companies headquartered, and with branch offices in Silicon Valley. Wipro tops the list with 1,964 new H-1B visas. Microsoft is second with 1318, but then Intel Corp has a big drop off at 723 H-1B's The list of Silicon Valley companies continues, including Infosys Technologies (440), Qualcomm (320), Cisco (308), Oracle (272), Google (211), Yahoo (183), Apple (168), Nvidia (130), and Hewlett Packard (115). While there is no way to know whether these companies sponsored employees located in Silicon Valley, as opposed to another office location, it is clear that high-tech and Silicon Valley are standouts on the list of H-1B employers.
Those who assume the H-1B is a tool used primarily by IT companies may be surprised to see the number of prestigious universities and medical facilities also nearing the top of the list. H-1B visas are work visas for professional workers who typically require at least a Bachelor's degree for entry into their profession. This includes teachers, professors, doctors, and scientists in addition to engineers.
The first two pages of the list are below:

I was in a similar situation back in 2000. The difference (in my case) was I entered 2 weeks later than the date mentioned on my I-20.
I took the chance and applied for re-instatement - at that time, I think it cost me $175.
I got my application approved in 28 days...!
Good Luck 'n don't be skeptical. Just apply to be re-instated and you will be fine!!!
