    It's been 9 weeks since my interview and I've called each week for the last 4 weeks with no update. I am told it has not cleared the name check as yet. When I called today, the intermediary officer (who goes and asks the interviewing officer each time for an update) came back saying the...

    July Bulletin is OUT, I don't believe it

    This has nothing to do with PERM. Based on which category your Labor Certification has been filed under (EB2 or EB3), once your LC clears, you can file for the 2nd and 3rd stages (I-140 and I-485) if your priority date is current. Example: Your priority date is 11/2005, i.e. you filed your...

    TR to RIR conversion tracker

    Still waiting, things seem to have slowed down a bit over the past few days. When my attorney inquired last, she was told my case had been assigned to an Analyst in the RIR unit since June 01. I wonder why the slowdown :confused:?

    It can't be a coincidence that all three above certifications had their status' changed to 'RIR in Process' on May 21. All others with the same date should be close also.

    Priority dates became current for a lot of folks with the June visa bulletin. Some folks are speculating these dates might retrogress back again in July which is why he's probably wanting to apply before then.

    Congratulations to both you and cmishra above you. Looking at your signatures, seems like status changed to 'RIR in Process' on 5/21/07 for the both of you. They might be processing applications from around that time frame. Mine changed on 5/22, so my application might be close in the queue :D...

    Canada H1B Visa stamping Question

    You are allowed to renew your visa within 3 months of your current visa's expiration. There has been a discussion on this recently, search the forum or look up my messages for more details. I would suggest that you send an email to the consulate you plan on visiting and confirm with them. Jawad

    Same here, my conversion request was sent on March 08, it's been over 2.5 months now. The only consolation is when my status changed to 'RIR in process' last week, but looking at your signature, that doesn't seem like much of of a consolation. A few weeks back almost anyone whose status...

    Status Update: I called the consulate yesterday, exactly 2 weeks after my interview. The operator put me through to some gentleman who wrote down my first, last names and my nationality. He came back in a few minutes saying there had not been any development. I asked when and if there was a...

    H1 stamping and DS-156 Q.36 has anyone Ever Filed

    Once you get your green card, it doesn't matter who you work for. For now, since company A has filed for your I-140, just go ahead and say Yes in your application. If you are ever questioned on it during an interview, say that yes company A has sponsored my green card petition.

A H visa is a dual intent visa and your immigrant petition should have no bearing on your H1 visa application. I have been...

    Got my passport back today; One quick Question

    Yes, within the US you should be fine until the date given on the I-797. However if there is still a way for you to contact the consulate, I would recommend that you either call them or send them an email to follow up on this. It is still not too late and they might correct this error and issue...

    Got my passport back today; One quick Question

    I would have thought your visa should have been for 3 years also. It usually goes by the date on the I-797. Did you not check and ask them this when collecting your passport? It's just a big hassle having to going for visa stamping again next year. Maybe someone else can reply with similair...
