    FOPIA result

    99.9999% of the folks who are stuck in name check will have no records when queried by FOIPA. It is just a piece of information to use to get your NC cleared. FOIPA just queries a single database it seems. Ncheck process does a lot more but does not know what. It's bad luck if we are...

    Job offer and EAD

    Even then, my guess is they just want to make sure that all your immigration papers from past and for future are intact and correct and be prepared to provide any immigration help in future. I knew someone who even though had an EAD (though never started working on it) took all those papers...

    Job offer and EAD

    Looking at the initial question I figured out the company is either MS or intel, looking your new job title I knew it was MS. Anyways no need to worry. Even though you have EAD, it is better to do a H1 transfer, once you are on EAD and something happens, you cannot even go back to H1. You...

    Movement To Cure Retrogression

    Definitely they will not remove Visa Number limits on India (China and Phillipines). I am from Inida/EB3. We have limits becuase we are from countries where high immigration is from. US immigration is all about level playing field and diversity. Feasible points would be 1) Use unsued VISA...

    Anyone with DWI without name check???

    Yes MAx2K1 framed the question right. Definitely you will have a interview. If your name combinations result in a Hit, it would be delayed until it is resolved manually. Not sure if DWI record will result in a hit or considered a hit. Everyone goes through name check, if there is no hit, it...
