Hi, One of my friends' have received the I485 approval recently. They have recently moved and thinking of going for stamping in their current location. Would this create any sort of issues or delays (file transfer etc) since their current location technically belongs to a...

... This gives us a good perspective. Thanks. Looks like 245(i) is probably not as bad as it seems for the people close to getting out of LC stage, though it will probably continue to plague people in the LC stage. Hope DOL will comeup with a better solution so that those incomplete, invalid...

Is this good news for genuine applicants...? But the problem may not alleviate unless congress moves now to create a seperate path for 245(i) applicants...which is long due any way?

... TheRealCanadian, Is something like this you are looking for? http://www.aila.org/contentViewer.aspx?bc=9,3232,3124,6306 Below is directly from the link/doc above And, let us not try to look at this as an issue only for people from those x, y and z...

Before congress can be encouraged/lobbied to increase the quota... We should probably do some thing to make sure that... 1. Every year's quota is completely used by USCIS. We know that it is not in the case of EB visas like many other categories like GC Lottery or Ayslum seekers...

On the contrary it seems to indicate the PERM is coming into play... with proposed fee for LCs as well along with probably rigid controls.

Hi Guys, Couple of years back, I left a Co, joined a new Co (accepted offer) and left for India. The new Co., applied H1 in premium processing right before I left and based on the approval, I got new visa and returned after about 45 days. During this period technically I was not working...

Another q. Jharkhandi, Thanks for the quick answer. I have a followup question, in this instance would it matter if the pending 485 was was originally filed as a dependent (based on spouse's EB3 I140) and then the dependent gets his own LC approved and ready to file I140...

Hi Guys, If/when PD retrogress, say I have a I485 pending from one application filed before retrogression, and is not adjudicated yet, can I file a new EB3 I140 and have it linked to the existing 485? Any thoughts? Thanks,

I am also interested in answer to this q. I think we need to get appropriate regulations and read between lines....what makes me believe that we should be able to use remaining time is.... 1. If one holds a H1 for a year and then goes out of the country and then comes back, the H1 clock...

Thanks, I agree with you. But the issue is my LC wouldn't be pending 365 days by the time my 6 years expire. This is means I should first apply for recapture (30 days vacation + 40 days between Cos. both out of the country). The difference is also about 40 days for my 6th year completion and...

sakabih2003... There is no simple answer to this for 1. Complexity of the nature of mergers and acquisitions and 2. History of very rigid conditions by DOL & USCIS. While DOL and USCIS seem to have softened their stand (probably because even Congress passed laws for H1B to this...

Hi friends, I have about 4 months remaining on 6 Years to H1. I received AP and EAD recently as a derivative applicant. 1. Can I start using EAD immediately, either by filing new I9 or going out of coutry (may be Canada) and re-entering on AP to stop the clock on H1? 2. If the clock...

RajaYogi, unitednations and all... Thanks for the information and sorry for delay, its been a crazy at work. Based on the information that the above links provide and few others from googling, it seems to me that over the time DOL and USCIS/INS have softened their definition of when can we...
