only word for this is RIDICULOUS.....
USCIS is really playing basket ball with my case. I am desperately to know why ? (NSC->TSC->CSC->TSC)
History of events
July 21, 2007: Filed I485 with NSC
Sometime between July , 2007 and Aug , 2007: Case Transferred to TSC
July 21 2008: Case Transferred to CSC : Reason given "To speed up processing"
Aug 14, 2008 : Case Transfered to TSC : No reason given.
Anybody in same boat ?

time to sart a campaign.....hey I am legal, I applied for GC in 2001 and govt will give it to me after it has given to all 245i, and everyone and that happens to be in 2012, so how abt guys in 2002,2003,2004?
When it was time to give GC govt wasted all our numbers now they dont want to give us.
BTW is there really a law that disallows using unused visa number for a given fiscal year oafter the end of that fiscal year? If so where is it and how does it read like?

I think it's not wise to leave. I tried googling for h-1b transfer & leaving the country but didn't get much info. I think if a transfer is pending with USCIS then you shouldn't leave the country as it may be considered as abandonment of the application.
i would advice to get it done under premium processing. i am not sure when the i-94 records are updated but if USCIS sees that you left India while the transfer is pending, they might issue you I-797 but with instructions to get it stamped at a consulate in India.
just my thoughts..better try googling or ask some lawyer.

What GLUS said is right but the problem is that it was lost 15 years back . There might not be computerized records from that time or if by luck there are they must be archived that there would be no way to retreive them.
Try harder to get any kind of records that you or your lawyer or anyone else in your family might have as additional proof.
And file for the documents as mentioned above . God knows you might get lucky !

May I make a sincere suggestion. Please, go back to school, take a course in English grammar, writing mechanisms and reading comprehension. People can better respond to you, when they understand whatever is it you are asking. You may also be able to file as a qualified EB2 applicant. No pun intended.
Thank you for your advise and hostility. I understand your frustration.
I was in hurry when I was posting it. How ever I have deleted it and I will follow what you said.
My sincere advise to you is better you learn how to answer to a question and
focus on things along with correcting others.
It would have been nice if you post some useful reply which would help some one.

i think there is a provision that if you are traveling for work every few months then you just need to provide your 'permanent' address not the 'temporary' address.

I am filing for my EAD renewal and had a quick question...I have an EAD card from when I was in college and did my OPT. The problem though is that I do not have some of the details that they ask for while filing EAD renewal, such as what Center was it processed at & what was the application date.
I have already called USCIS & they cant pull up what center my EAD was filed at or the date it was filed. Can anyone suggest what I should do in this situation? What do I put in the form? Does anyone have similar experiences?

I see people not supporting the CIR which was suppose to be a pro Immigration bill, no matter which part of the society it was supporting. My question is Are you guys out here a Pro or an anti immigration forum?
Or are you guys out here are to fulfill their selfish dreams, stand on others to reach the top.
Can anyone answer me? I really doubt the people out here.
Did you ask your parents whether you were born logal??
Some of have that doubt. Can you clarify please?

Thanks a lot for response guys...
Looks like i forgot to mention few of my own contraints...
I do not want to use EAD as i am single and don't want to jeoperdise my spouse visa by loosing my H1b status. So only option for me now is H1b.
My only concern is what if i lose some pay checks and jeoperdise my immigration history. 90% of my frinds who work with consultant are out of job/looking job..etc. All these makes bit pessimistic....!!!!

hello,
MY Opinion!!
since u have used substitute labor, id guess that the Priority date of labor is pretty old (hopeing 2000-2002 range).
if ur PD is old, then rushing for 485 doesnt make sense. Rushing now is for those whose PD is 2005/2006, its their only chance before dates retrogress again. if u have OLD PD, then pretty soon, ur date will become current again, and when ur 140 comes thro u switch job & can apply for 485.
1. Anyway, resigning ur existing job and applying 485 with new company is not much beneficial. u cant use AC21 untill ur i140 is approved, anyway u have to stick at one place till ur eligible for AC21. if i were u , given a choice, id stay with a known demon (rather than unknown angel)
2. if ur substitute's labors 140 gets cleared..then switch to new company...apply 485 and in 180 days , ull be eligible for AC21, if relationship with new employer gets sour use AC21 and move on.
3. u still have 2.5 yrs on H1..this is a +ve point on ur side to take RISK of switching employer now. Id do this only if the PAY in new empoyer is so much high than existing, so that its WORTH taking the risk.
since its substitute labor, ur 140 cant be premium processes. as per previous experiences , if ur nebraska, 140 mite take 9-12 months , texas its little faster. so even after 1 yr,,if ur substitution Failed, u still have 1.5 yrs on H1, enuf time to switch H-1 job, get/apply for perm and get 6+ yrs extension.
Your lucky that new employer applied for 140 without expecting u to get on the payroll. if i were you, id thank God for that, and wait till 140 gets cleared before joining new job.
:-)

You can own the company while being on H1b, You will need to partner with a CPA and get immigration attorney involved.

I was hired for a position that required Masters and I fortunately was in EB2, but a colleague of mine, who is doing the similar work, was put in EB3 because his manager created the position with a requirement of Bachelors. He had a Master's degree. Here employee suffered because of his manager's ignorance
Wouldn't say it is ignorance on the part of the manager. Ignorance is easily abated by the employee talking to the manager. Plus any good lawyer will ask the manager if a master's degree is required for the job before proceeding with recruitment.
More often there are other reasons such as ego issues ("I don't have a college degree so why does my report need a master's degree") or practical difficulties (necessity to raise the wage offered) that can cause an otherwise qualified person to be classified as EB3.

Most of people file taxes jointly and so I am wondering if it becomes an issue for spouse on H4 about false info on income.
If your wife is on H4 she has no income hence she qualifies for free medicaid insurance. provided you fill out the forms the right way.
And there is a seperate Health insurance sponsored by government for kids below 18 years. based on your wife's Medicaid, your child can qualify for that insurance in your state.
You might need to buy insurance for you.
