The lawyer can call or the petitioner can call. They will not speak to you about the petition. Get the lawyer or the petitioner to call.

Just to clarify, I do not work for an attorney's office, I am attorney. I graduated from Rutgers School of Law in 1997.

INCORRECT!!!! If the person does not have a 4 year Bachelor's degree, there is NO AMOUNT of experience that will qualify them for an EB-2. I have seen the denials! If the person is attempting to use a combination of degrees, the outcome is less certain and an approval is possible...

You cannot trust anything CIS says about anything!

It means that the emplyer can file the petition on or after April 1, 2006. USCIS will process the petition on receipt but the authorized start date for employment cannot be before the start of fiscal year 2007 (October 1, 2006). You will somehow need to maintain your status until October 1...

In my experience (I've processed about 3000 H-1Bs), processing times this long are extremely rare. I have seen may 3 cases take this long. Need to call USCIS to see what is up.

Contact Norton Tooby at: Law Offices of Norton Tooby 6333 Telegraph Ave. Ste. 200 Oakland CA 94609 Phone: (510) 601-1300 He is the best there is, bar NONE. He is not cheap, but he is the absolute best. I have 3 of his books on criminal aspects of immigration and there is no better...

An equivalency is useless for these purposes. The person must have earned a bachelor's degree from a US University to qualify for the 20,000 set aside.

Lots of lawyers blew it! Here's why: On August 11. 2005, there was an AILA posting that stated that the H-1B numbers were being used rapidly and probably would not last much longer. The posting provided a link to the USCIS website that stated that as of August 4, 2005, there were...

I've worked for several consulting companies. None of them ever charged any employee anything to file for an H-1B.

Actually, it's libel, slander is spoken.

For what purpose? Immigration? Tax?

I hate to disagree but this is just plain wrong. I have seen H-1Bs approved all the way down to 20 hours a week. All you do is mark "part time" on the petition and list the number of hours. There is no requirement that an H-1 be full time. As to the question, it really is a matter of...

You have breached the terms of your employment agreement. Maybe you were justified in doing so, maybe not, but you are about to get sued. Retain an attorney to deal with this. A misstep by you now could have major consequences if the company brings suit.

An RFE typically gives 12 weeks to respond. Be sure it is not a Notice of Intent to Deny since they only give 30 days to respond.

There are 4 pages that go 4 different places. The pages are not identical (look at the bottom, right below the form and you will see the diffeence). The G-325A used to be on 4 different colored paper but USCIS did away with the different color paper requirement years ago.

The first day that it is possible to file. There is speculation that USCIS may get 20,000 visa petitions in one day. I think it is highly likely that USCIS will issue an RFE for the evaluation if it is not sent with the submission. See www.immihelp.com it provides a half decent list if...

Ready for more arrogance? On Friday, USCIS quietly published a new I-129 form. This form purported to supercede prior forms and prior forms were not to be used. Well, there were a number of questions and attorneys were scrambling to redo forms. Then, today, USCIS announced that the old...

First, CIS misses the statutory deadline for making the additional 20,000 visas available. Then, the day of the deadline (today) they say “We have already processed 20,000 H-1Bs with Masters in FY 2005, so the additional 20,000 are available to everyone. BUT, do not file until further notice...

Yes, I found the dissent in the court case posted on the ILW website most enlightening since it was a nonpartial opinion. It states in relevant part: "The nature of the attorney-client relationship established at their initial meeting is unclear. Jobe's affidavit suggests his understanding...
