Help I have question for all experts here... I am planning to apply h1b at Calcutta, I fall under chennai. I was denied student visa in 98. Am I eligible to apply for H1 at calcutta? I am not geting any appointment in chennai and I have to go to US asap.

May be they are processing your file..have patience. I am sure you will hear the good news soon.

Yes..you should go to CP forum...I know Chennai accepts because I checked with them for my case few months back. Unfortunately my I 140 is struck because of Ohata ..let me know if you find out otherwise about chennai consulate.

congrats...but its really strange that your case is not approved as per Ohata memo...I am geting more and more confused about that memo

congrats...now you can either go for Attroney certified consular processing (faster route to get GC) or wait for another 1 or 2 years for I 485 to get approved. Good luck

:) congrats... So Ohoto memo is doesn't effect people who filed concurrently before april 30..looks like :rolleyes:

Naanshi...I know you are very helpful on this forum. But can I request you not to state that AC21 kicks in even if I 140 is not approved. Its kind of misleading and it might ruin someone's life. I know you believe AC21 is valid even if I 140 is not approved, but I have not seen any legal backing...

Re: List of issues You don't get students loans till AOS. Either you should have co signatory or you are not elegible for studnet loan in many university. For students with GC, loan are given without co signatory.

from what I have seen from my friends I 140 approvals is that INS is processing I 140 CP or just I 140 filed cases. But not processing concurrently filed I 140. I don't have proof to back this but thats the case with few friends who filed I 140 same time. Lot of FP notice is going out for...

This is what I found, which make sense to me. Chat User : Can I use AC21 when my I-140 is pending and receipt date has passed 180 days? Attorney Murthy : Can use, but the risk of obtaining an I-140 denial or having the sponsoring employer revoke or cancel the pending I-140 could...

as they are accruing time toward the 180 days while the I-140 is pending, as long as it is finally approved." That means if employer withdraw the application (i 140) after 180 days, AC 21 can't be used. One more disadvantage of this present memo is attroney certified CP is not possible...

Nanshi..with due respect you are wrong. "If the I-140 is not approved, then AC21 is held not to apply under current interpretations of the interplay between AC21 law and concurrent filing. If processing is not completed in a reasonable time, and AC21 portability cannot be used, this may mean...

:mad: :mad: :mad: Looks like concurrent fillers are screwed by INS this time. I 140 will not be processed till I 485 is ready to be process, that means AC21 is thrown out of question. Also attroney certified route is also out. Seems to me it is one more way INS trying to delay whole GC process...

RD: 12/14/2003 ND: 12/19/2003 EAD approved: 02/05/2004 AP approved: 02/05/2004 I-140 & I-485 Pending.

I hope Naashi is right :D and my I 140 and I 485 is approved same time. EB3 filled at NSC own labor simultaneous filling Nd: 12/24/03 received FP notice friday for May 15th. I 140 still not approved.
