Update: Received EAD and notice for biometrics. No word on 140.

Ha, Ha.... answering my own question.... found this.... Chat User : Does approval of an EAD mean that the chances of I-140 approval are high? Attorney Mxxxxy : There is almost no connection with the EAD being approved and the I-140 approval. The two are not connected at all other than possibly...

Hello All, I applied in EB1-EA category (concurrent 140 and 485) with premium processing 3-weeks ago. I received EAD card in mail today. The SRC receipt number when entered on uscis.gov says I-765 approved. Does this mean my greencard application has been approved? or I'm just getting unduly...

I'm planning to go to Mexico for first H1B stamping. I was on F1, OPT and then academic H1. No gaps in any status. Haven't left USA since OPT started a year ago. Now my F1 visa and OPT has expired. If US consulate in Mexico with-hold my application for TAL, 221g, whatever, Can I re-enter USA...

Folks, can someone fill-in on the latest USCIS update. There's is little info on AILA's recent postings page. Any additional info will be greatly appreciated. Hopefully there's some good news !!! USCIS Update dated 4/13/2007 reports on the running of the random selection process, a change in...

My guess is you can apply along with transcripts and letter from your department and registrar clearly stating that you have completed all the requirements for MS and the degree certificate will be awarded to you on xx/xx/2007. You might want to post your query on other forums or ask senior...

It's not clear yet that for the cap cases the final number that will be entered in the system will be 119,193. The first sentence from today's press release clearly states that the counting of H-1B petitions received on April 2 and 3 continues. Granted the number won't jump significantly, but...

does this mean that now there would be no lottery for exempt quota and valid petitions approved on first-come-first basis?

http://aila.com/content/default.aspx?docid=22063 As of April 9, USCIS has determined that approximately 119,193 of the H-1B petitions received on April 2 and 3 are subject to the FY 2008 congressionally mandated cap. USCIS received on April 2 and 3 a total of approximately 12,989 cases...

No updates on that number yet. However, if USCIS receives > 20,000 exempt cases on April 2 and April 3, USCIS will first conduct a lottery to select 20,000 applications. Remaining applications not selected will be a part of the bigger 65k lottery. Thus people with US MS/Phd would have 2...

Thanks for the valuable info!!! So I guess next step should be getting an H1 status irrespective of position.

Thanks for the guidance!!! I really appreciate all the help. Following are key highlights from by bio. PhD from US, post-doc fellow from past 6-mos. in neurosciences 10-papers, 1-review article, 1-book chapter so far Dept might create a "permenant" position for me, not 100% sure right now

Thanks!!! Right now I'm on an OPT. My univ. is going to file for my H1 this month. Once I get H1 status, can I immediately apply for greencard in EB-1/2 category or do I have to go back to home country and get H1 stamped in passport before I can apply for greencard. I hope you get my question.

Hello Folks: I was wondering if someone could apply for EB-1/2 with H1 status but not H1 stamped in passport. Thanks
