Usually attorney and company hold on to the immigration paper work for the employees - be sure to ask attorney for I-94 copy from your paper work for 'first' H1B. If out of luck in both the places, check with university and see if they have a copy or record or your presence in the university...

Your qualification and experience before you joined the company (if it is for a different position exp with in the company may count??) counts but not necessarily what you are currently working on. Also, to qualify for EB2, it is more important that job requirements in Labor/perm filing should...

This is what I see online, but I do not think there is anything special about it, it probably only reflects that data entry is finished in 6/7. Even my I485 had LUD of 6/7 till FP is done. All the LUDs I have so far (since I started tracking) I485: 6/7, 7/5 (FP date), 7/6 AP: 6/7, 7/2, 7/3...

AP approved I-131 Travel Doc/AP approved for both myself and my spouse yesterday. Details in signature.

Why did you labor certification took so long? It is unfortunate to receive certification towards the end of the month not leaving enough time for concurrent filing. At least your I140 should be accepted provide you have included a separate check. You can make it premium when USCIS lifts the...

No. USCIS doesn't have anything to do with passport. However, I guess the passport needs to be valid at the time of applying for 485 (not totally sure). Actually same is the case with my wife as her passport was stuck at embassy (still at embassy).

Yes. Congrats!

Question: What if the I485 application (current as per June bulletin) is received on June 30th i.e., Saturday? would it be accepted or rejected as the package would actually be received on Monday i.e., July 2nd?

Yes, any valid govt issued Photo ID should be fine. Your FP notice would tell you the same. If it helps.. both myself and my wife didn't even carry passports with us when we went for FP last week.

My details in signature... Looks like the receipt notices are getting delayed for applications received towards the end of June. My colleagues application was received (fedex) around june 20th and his checks are not cashed yet. We can track the 'general' progress of the applications, notices...

Lets count how many I485s were filed i.e., received by Service Center in June '07. Since a lot of pending cases were cleared, we can use this new set of cases to predict cut-off date moment (do we really??) in the next fiscal year. Since this thread is not sticky.. it would help if folks post...

They got it from AILA website.

From Immigration-law.com 06/29/2007: EB-Visa Number Retrogression? * There is a rumor going around that the State Department will issue a revised Visa Bulletin for July 2007 next Monday (July 2) or Tuesday (July 3) and that it may show retrogression of some or all EB categories, very likely...
