I quote you again. Milk is already spilled on the floor. You can't take it back. There is no racist card game around here. You already exposed yourself. It is now a FACT that YOU ARE A RACIST! And I would look at your technical answers with caution because usually people like you have a...

Wow! That is a very racist statement! It didn't take much to expose your true self. Sir, YOU ARE A RACIST! I knew it from your sarcastic and rude remarks especially to new members of this forum. And BTW, I never applied for 485 and I am still in my first 3 years of H1-B. See, all your...

Thanks for the advice but believe me Nelsona there is nothing humiliating about getting a TN. You are a white anglo (as you have mentioned it before) so it is way beyond your comprehension to even slightly understand what a real humiliation is. Don't take it personally coz this is an established...

Thanks Nelsona. The employer got me a LC last year. However, for several reasons, I have decided not to proceed with GC application. Long story short: I have no long-term plans to live and retire in the US. Plus, ever since the last time we discussed the name/background check, I have run into...

I read somewhere that after using up the 6 years of H-1B, one can change status only to E1/E2!! I was under the impression that I could go back to TN for the same employer or for another employer as long as I can satisfy the border officer that I still have strong ties to Canada.

Wow! The timeline for getting a passport that you mentioned is for the Canadian Consulate in the US? Which one? BTW, don't we need to have a passport that is valid for more than one year when we file an I-129 (TN or H1)?

Is the name check process different in CP? If so, could it be faster? I posted this question in CP forum and nobody ever replied.

That is a personal choice. Sacrificing your job for the fear of retrogression issues! Your case is getting more and more complicated. I am not sure if you can go on H4 after filing 485. Somebody with knowledge about post-485 please comment on this. Doesn't your husband have an immigration...

That is a personal choice. Losing your job for the fear of retrogression issues! Your case is getting more and more complicated. I am not sure if you can go on H4 after filing 485. Somebody with knowledge about post-485 please comment on this. Doesn't your husband have an immigration lawyer...

This site is getting slower and slower everyday. They need a new server! Anyway, you got the point: the key thing is have an EAD card before Jan 08. Also, you cannot travel once you file for 485/EAD/AP until you get AP, no matter when you apply. About staying indefinitely in the US as...

What you all are forgetting is: What if she does not get her EAD card by Jan 08? She won't be able to work! deland70: your case is different from hers as you already mentioned. Your TN expires Aug 08. You have a very high chance of getting your EAD card by then. yanpz's TN expires Jan 08. A...

bigboy00 please be careful with your advice. Her TN expires in Jan 08 and once they apply for 485, she will also have a hard time crossing the border on a TN. Not to mention renewing it! IMHO, they should wait for 140 to be approved and then she should try to renew her TN so she can work...

If the summons was served to you and you do not show up, the plaintiff by default wins and gets a judgement against you. Theoritically, any judgement in a US court can be converted to a judgement in a Canadian court. But this costs dollars and usually the plaintiff gives up chasing you in...

As far as I know, benching on H-1B is illegal. You cannot make the employee sit on a bench without a pay until there is a job for her. For sure, your wife's employer can get in trouble. I am not sure about your wife though. You'd better talk to an imigration lawyer. This could've been avoided...

Sending FP to your former country(ies)! Hmmm! This is probably why people from or born in countries like Iran get stuck because there is no relationship between US and Iran. These cases are probably deadlocks. However, I still strongly believe there are extra background checks done at the...

I agree with you to a great extent that majority of stuck name check cases are due to common names. However, there is a component in the name check process that you have not been exposed to: security check. After 9/11, the security check for GC and US citizenship applicants has increased...

I have heard of cases of Canadians who were born in a middle-eastern country or who had a muslim name and their name check got stuck. Does anyone have any info to share in this regard? If so, how long did the name check take? Thanks, Kam

Basically I am at the crossroads. My employer is laying off people, therefore, they can no longer apply for PERM. My PERM is from last year right before downsizing. I myself survived 2 rounds of layoffs. 1. If I apply for I140 & I485 and get laid off in the middle of the process, I'll be...

Guys, This is what the company's lawyer says about expiration of PERM: The 180 days does not start July 16, but rather the application of the 180 day rule starts July 16. On July 16, your labor certification will have been approved over 180 days prior and therefore the last possible day for...

Nelsona, what quotas are you referring to? Also, with EAD card, can I work on contract jobs? What if USCIS RFEs for the existence of a sponsor even beyond 180 days into 485? Most consulting firms in my field do not want to deal with any sponsorship except for TN.
