My Experience Don\'t worry, you\'re not out of status, neither legally or practically. Fortunately for you, the receipt date is the same as your I-94\'s expiration date. Let\'s not confuse one thing though... What you will get is not an H1B visa. You will get H1B STATUS. In order to get the...

I did it I did the exact thing you are describing. I was afraid to death, because we all know INS and as stupid as it may sound, law-abiding foreign citizens (I hate the term alien) are usually more stressed than the illegals, due to the broad discretionary powers INS has. When I left the US...

Better yet Hi KRSN, I agree with the points of view you expressed in your message, and I would take it one step further... If any kind of lobbying should be done, it should be to completely overhaul the Labor Certification process. It just doesn\'t seem logical to me that an employer should...

Right on!! Hey Ray, you hit the nail right on the head!! If you\'ve been here legitimately, keeping your job, paying your taxes and so on, and if your employment hasn\'t adversely affected american workers (which will be pretty much obvious after you\'ve been working for 2 years without massive...

Hi Ray Hi buddy, I sympathize with you, I, too, know what it is to be frustrated because of this H1B status. I want to have it changed ASAP, but things go so slowly that it drives me crazy. Hang in there, sooner or later we all will have the stupid paperwork taken care of. The important...

Hi Titi Hi Titi, Yes, indeed, I have never been out of status and my employment is legal, but my boss fears that, due to the slowing economy and recent layoffs, if we advertise my job then somebody (or several people) will apply for it and that would somehow jeopardize my chances of getting...

Any news Hi guys, Any news from SESA or DOL? How are things going?

Any updates? Hi guya, Are there any updates, comments, inside info, etc. on the Labor certification in WA?? Any thoughts? How is the process going for all of you? I talked to my boss today and he said he doesn\'t want to do anything that would jeopardize my H1B status, and not grant a...

It should be your filing date Hi titi, If you filed your petition, your priority date is the date on which you filed it. Of course, we all like to see it written on paper! :-) But for your own reference, you should know that for all purposes, the PD is the date on which you filed your...

Little help Hey buddy, I don\'t have lots of information on the way they do things in WA but I am interested in finding out myself, as I will be applying here too. To tell from what I know of the process, if it is a RIR application, the SESA should not be reviewing it, just checking it for...

who knows? Hi Ray, Who knows why people aren\'t replying. I guess there are few people who apply for labor certification in WA, which I guess is good for us. The priority date, by law, is the date on which you filed your application. You keep it all throughout the process. The case number, I...

Electrical Engineer Hi Ray, I\'m an Electrical Engineer. Mine hasn\'t been filed yet, but we are about to start the process soon. I want to go for RIR, but the attorney will have the final word. I only have a B.S. so I wonder if RIR is the best route to take, or if the certification is at all...

It would be really helpful if there was a forum to post tips or any other kind of orientation on how to go through the labor certification, i.e. effective contents for ads, typical accepted grounds for rejection of applicants, etc. It would be very valuable if people posted details on their own...
