I am wondering what percentage of applicants receive RFE for employment letter before I485 approval, given that we have already provided one when filed. Is it not relevant to deciding whether or not pro-actively inform USCIS abut job change?

I used POJ method this morning to call (and hopefully) talk to NSC I/O. The lady told me that some action should be taken on my pending EB1B application within the next 6 days. It sounded odd to me so I clarified whether she meant 6 or 60 :) But she confirmed 6 and said that I should hear from...

June Processing Times out - Big jump in EB1 Against all predictions, both I140 and I485 moved FORWARD by several months! Not that it necessarily matters since several older cases in my own knowledge are still pending!

It seems of late NSC has started issuing RFEs for TB skin test despite submitting chest x-ray results. I too had skipped the skin test as many people have reported testing positive due to the vaccination given in India. Now I am wondering if I should get it done and submit the results as...

Friends, I need your help in gathering as much information on successfully changing from university faculty job (ECE) to related industry job. My lawyer has instructed me to consult with her before accepting any job offer. I will appreciate if those of you who have gone through or are going...

Even though there is a separate forum to track I140s I would like to start another one here for several reasons. First of all, that tacker has only a single entry for EB1 OR category. Secondly, Nov-Dec'06 was a peculiar period when NSC was severely lagging in even sending the receipt notices...

I know it has been often asked and replied but usually the response has been limited to 'File where your I-485 is pending'. For me that is NSC, but to which precise address? Accordig to USCIS website, it is "P.O. Box 87131, Lincoln, NE 68501-7131" for I-131 and "P.O. Box 87765, Lincoln, NE...

Apologies for unrelated post. A friend of mine, who graduated with MS in EE last year, is looking for SAS consultant to work with and sponsor H1b visa. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Are we allowed flexibility in H1b start date - later than Oct 1, 2008? My lawyer told me no, but I think she is wrong. Please, any pointers will be appreciated. Also, there were plenty of hints in news articles that H1b cap for 2008 will be raised but does anyone know where to go for reliable...

I and my wife had our biometrics appointment today morning. Since I had come across several contradicting informaton while preparing myself for the appointment, I thought it might be a good idea to present 1st hand report, for others benefits. 1. Be there at least 10-15 minutes before...

My EB-1OR application was mailed to NSC on Nov 23, 06 by overnight delivery and finally the checks were cleared today. When I checked the case status online using the receipt no. on the back of check, it shows: Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER Current Status: Case...

I and my wife are travelling to US virgin islands next week. My EB-1 OR petition was sent to NSC center on Nov 24 but have not received the acknowledgement receipt yet (my lawyer called USCIS and was told its taking them almost 45 days due to large number of applications). I am on H1B and my...

Friends, I have an I-140 approved under EB-2 category and am filing another petition (concurrent I-140 & 485) under EB-1 due to retrogression. I am thinking of including a letter to request linking approved I-140 to use the old priority date for what its worth but my lawyer says there is no...

hi all, based on what i have found out, h1b transfer from exempt to non-exempt employer is subject to annual caps. are there any exceptions to it, e.g. say if h1b was obtained using premium processing, or if it was filed and obtained before the visa cap for that year was reached. Thanks, ip
