I do not exactly know where my 140 was filed, but I got my approval from TSC (Texas).. i.e., thats what it says on approval notice. There is some problem using combination degrees and there are several threads in this forum esp in NSC-140 that can guide you through how to get around them. I am...

The one with I-94 attached is for you and the copy is typically sent to employer. They are essentially same and it should be sufficient if you carry the original i.e., one with I-94. Do not forget to take current employment letter (confirmation), pay stubs for last 3 months. Also, if you can...

LUD - Last Update Date. If the case (129, 140, 485 etc) is registered online at USCIS website, it can be tracked online. Any time the application gets looked into, the 'Last Updated' date displayed online will change.

It is typically advisable to keep copies your approval notices that have I-94 attached. Most often, lawyer and employer should have copies of them in their file. I recently asked my lawyer to send me a copy of my 9 year old student work permit. Check with lawyer if you can submit any other...

It took more than two months for my wife to get her SSN and he recruiter didn't want to start marketing till she got her SSN. Have said, I also know of cases where employee starts working for company before getting SSN (some times even pending H1B approval), but the paperwork/payroll processing...

I agree labor subs are screwing everything. Some one with few grand and contacts can get ahead of people like us waiting for years. It is not only messing up EB3, but also EB2 with EB3 to EB2 conversions. This together with Labor sub is causing a havoc. I also see lot of approvals of very...

It is not uncommon to ask for legal status. My friend was asked to provide legal status / I94's for his last 9 years of stay including his student I20 and all H1B approval notices and copies passport(s). I have also heard a case where even tax returns were asked for all years of work/stay in...

I suppose so. I have seen few folks mentioned change of status online after RFE is issued and also a response is recieved for an RFE. LUD will probably gets changed when ever the application gets looked into for processing and status changes (or email gets sent) when ever some action is taken on...

ETA 750 should have specified the degree, feild of study (major), work experience and training required. You need to get your degree evaluated to the equivalent of what is required in ETA 750 with field of study. There are one or two threads in this forum, which can guide you on how and where...

Memo on EB-2 Equivalency NS Memo on EB-2 Equivalency March 27, 2000 The Immigration and Naturalization Service has issued a Memorandum on what constitutes an advanced degree or its equivalent to qualify for EB-2 classification. U.S. Department of Justice Immigration and...

The fact that there is only simple math and only about 100 (with family factor) immigrant visas would be issued to over subscribed countries in each category certainly doesn't make things look appealing..:-). But there is no point arguing or fighting. In general we tend to have a narrow focus...

One of my friends submitted an experience letter from his former collegue as a print out of his email (since he was out of country) and he got the approval (there was no RFE in his case). Apparently his lawyer told him that it would be preferable if the experience letter is submitted with an...

If you do not understand, don't bother. Helping can be done at several levels and the simplest is if some has a problem or question and you know the answer or a way out just post it. Most folks during their 'long' GC process, might have aquired considerable knowledge that can prove to useful to...

Theoritically, after I140 aproval, the PD belongs to you unless the employer revokes it with in 6 months afater approval. Even if you start your GC processing fresh again, you would still be able to use the old PD irresptive of the category i.e., old EB3 PD could be used for new EB2 perm while...

You will specify the filing category (EB2 or EB3) in I140 application. Depending on the category, the USCIS will check i) if the orginal labor (also called job offer) will qualify for that category ii) you have all required qualifications that are mentioned in the labor. If these two conditions...

It is quite understandable if some one uses old PD from their own labor certification to take advantage of Perm to convert to EB2, but it doesn't feel right to use PD from pre-approved labor (most likely 'bought' for a very good price from some company who keeps pre-approved labors for the same...

The one point that mr.puerthoughts mentioned that I always keep thinking is why people are so self-centered. He might be very true about most people do not care about this forum or others once their GC gets approved. Of course there are folks like 'unitednations' (in I140 forums) and gp111 who...

Thanks for your quick response! I heard from some one that 140 can be transfered and wanted to find out if it is true. Well, it is a little complicated. He was initially working for Company A (currently in business) where he filed labor. Then he changed to Company B where he filed fresh...
