I am also Canadian, with H-1B awaiting AP. Same as you, exactly. I will obtain my H-1B extension any day. My understanding is that you do not need to have your passport stamped - all you need is a new I-94 card, which you can obtain at the border on your way back in. I asked my...

I have been waiting since (even before) filing for LC in May of 2001. And I probably have 2 more years to wait. I really want the GC and look forward to it every day. I wish I had the freedom it provides. But I still do not understand the sense of desperation I see here in posts like this...

Gcrk, If the child is born in the U.S., then the child will be a U.S. citizen. Case closed. Good luck with all!

Thanks lz25888, I am going to send that link to my attorney and ask him if it's ok to travel. Kash777, I applied for I-140, I-485, EAD and AP all at the same time, in September. I am still waiting for AP (and will likely not get it unil January).

I have a pending AOS and am waiting for AP. I have a valid H-1B and asked my immigration attorney about holiday travel prior to obtaining AP. He strongly advised against it (though he basically said pracically speaking it would likely work out OK especially considering it would be by car to...

Certified Alfter a lengthy wait, my case has been certified. It is a relief since I am in the IT field, however being NON-RIR I was pretty hopeful. massDBA - PDate 5/29/01 - EB3 - NON-RIR - Case 01332### - DOL RD 5/7/03 - DOL CD: Certified on 6/26/03. DOL took only 7 weeks, after I sat...

LP, We received about 6 or 7 resumes total. From those 2 or 3 came from state job bank and rest from the ad. Company has to be diligent about calling, following up with applicants. Must call them even if the resume sucks. I think they did 2 or 3 telephone interviews before determining the...

zbcx123, I'm no expert but if you're going from RIR to NON-RIR I can't imagine you will be done in just a few months. You have to recuit - that takes a month once it has begun, then you resubmit to SESA who forwards to DOL. You better hope SESA allows you to recuit now instead of waiting...

dol zbcx123, Yes, the main reason is due to a major backlog in NON-RIR labor certs due to an amnesty granted to a large group of illegal aliens. I believe it is called the LIFE amnesty. These people were given a deadline of April 30, 2001 to apply for their labor certs, and a lot did...

dol SaiBobby, The lawyer wrapped up recuitment on January 16th. He got receipt from DOL saying they received it April 1st. However when I called DOL and got my DOL case ID they said that they received it on May 7th. So I am not sure which one it is. Maybe it took a month to enter it into...

Reply to ST ST, When SESA (a.k.a. DET) finally got to my case (after a long while) they informed the employeer to recruit. The employer advertises for the position, interviews candidates, documents the recruitment phase then sends it all back to SESA. The recruitment phase took a bit less...

off to Boston DOL Hi guys... I finally got received at Boston DOL. Here's my info: massDBA - SESA # 200113### - PDate 5/29/01 - EB3 - NON-RIR - Case 01332### - DOL RD 5/7/03 Good luck everyone!

Joining the club... Hi guys, I finally got to DOL... I wanted to add my information to the list. massDBA - PDate 5/29/01 - EB3 - NON-RIR - Case 01332### - DOL RD 5/7/03 - DOL CD: Pending. The NON-RIRs like me are behind the LIFE amnesty bunch so it's taken a while to get here and will...

msdms, My company ran a one day ad in Computerworld. And the job was posted in the "State Job Bank" whatever that is (I think that happens automatically by SESA but I am not sure). All the resumes are not in yet from Computerworld, but there appear to be under a dozen resumes. So I think...

My info Non-RIR EB3 (IT job) PD 5/29/01 SESA 200113### Received go ahead to recruit approx 12/01/02. Recruitment in progress, and will be wrapped up by the end of January, then it's off to Boston DOL. -massDBA

dodowolf, I am guessing, but I think most of the people here filed their labor certs when the economy was much better. The lawyers went the easier route with RIR not anticipating the layoffs. Now, I understand that a high percerntage of RIRs are denied so this wasn't a great strategy, in...
