"naudurivsm Isn't the employer filing for second or subsequent request for extension, exempt from additional $1500 or $700? So I think it will just be the base filing fee of $190.00 (without a lawyer) for the employee" No, I Do not think so, The fee structure is as follows $1500 +...

" You can file for both the PR, but you can NOT have both the PR. The moment you receive and accept the GC of second country, the first GC will automatically be canceled. (you are suppose to inform authorities about that. Failure to do so is a crime)." THIS IS NOT TRUE, the only...

Here are the answers to your questions; 1. 1yr 7 months since I filed after 9/11 - otherwise I would have got it in 6 months Current time line if you apply from Within USA - 18-24 months max. from outside USA (say India) it is at least 48 months. 2, YES, No changeg in laws on...

You are free to file for residency in any number of countries and nothing wrong in it. I am a Canadian Permanenet Resident myself, still on H1(7th year extn filed) Good luck, if you want to do it, move fast, or else that situation might turn worse with the GC situation here , already...

The Biggest Headache i think is for guys on; 1. H1 nearing sixth year or may be already over , 2. LC pending with PDs almost in Jan 2004 onwards. These will have to face a lot of probs, since every year they have to extend the H1 paying at least $2300.00 (without Lawyer) and plus...

Hi joeF, Thanks for the suggestion. Does that get any better if he'she becomes employee of the same comany by applyinig for H1 and getting it? Since once he becomes employee he can work in that as well and get paid etc. What are other pros and cons of this situation? Thanks...

Hi, I have he follwoing questions; An H1-B can open a Company but Can not work paid or unpaid for the same company. I understood. 1. Can his/ her name be on any of the documents of the comapny? like one of the directors etc. ? As while forming company you have to give the owner's...

Yes it is true, H1 extensions can be obtained from Approved LC regardless of dates or days of approval. The "365 days" clause is only comes into picture when the labor is pending approval.

Good question !! The H1 extensions based on either a pending or approved LC are given only in 1 year increments. So.... In the scenario you are suggesting, it is possible as long as it is NOT reoked by the original LC finling employer. All depends on your relations with that...

Theoritically NO, and consulates in India ( particulary Chennai), can't say, otherwise you should be ok, keep all relevant documentation and Income tax records , letters from current employers etc. and I see no problems. That is what my lawyer says; One thing we have to ensure in previous...

I agree on this, I have applied for 7th year extension through New Employer (c) based on old pending LC of my previous employer (A), Please note that I was working for employer B before applying /joining C and my lawyer says it is valid and we will get extension. I had provided the proof...

I think you should be ok in 5-6 months from now. wait and watch, nothing to get tense.

You were planning to move to India anyways, so use that as the reason and write to them requesting withdrawl. sorry to sugggest that, did not mean or want you to get out of the Country.

Is this becase of the lots of Hue and cry over the Illegal immigration from Mexico and the current administration is keen on making them somehow legal in the country(despite opposition from many inside the administration) and hence they are seeking to increase the quota in "other workers"...

Hi Infostarved, Exactly, that is what guess is, if these are the TOTAL pending LCs at BEC's, then the picture looks good. At the same time these number appear to be in synch with your earlier math of 73k cases only I-485 pending till date. What I mean is 89K LCs + 73K I-485 caes +...

Hmm..., So Can I assume these are only cases of pending LCs itself and not 140s /485s? Also, it seems no one exactly knows or can predict as to how many cases are pending at the BECs and SWA's ( keep in mind their Data entry is not over yet). So the numbers game is still in-conclusive...

Hi akela, Could you please let me know, if the numbers above you gave are upto Date ? or if not when were they last updated of? Thanks Venkat

Hi Akela, Again my question is are these of INDIANS only or total ? Thanks Venkat

Hi, Thanks for the quick response. I did go through that thread and am still on it. Why I created this new thread is; To know exactly the Situation with INDIAN cases keeping in view the available numbers each year ( abt 10000) for all EB categories. However the Visa numbers have...

Hi, Does any one have the actual number of cases pending at the BECs and SWA's ( Year Wise ) and in the following categories LC's pending approval I-140 cases pending approval I-485 cases pending approval ------------- Also the number of cases yet to be entered in their system...
