Have you got any vacation time which has not been used for H1 extension ?gc9906 said:My labor application was closed by PBEC in error. I'm trying to re-open it. It seems it's hard and PEBC is very slow. I just got Canadian Immigration approve notice. My 7th year H1 extension will wxpired in July, 2006. I really don't know how to do right now. Do I need go to Canada and till I get Citizen there or just stay one year and come back with a new 6 year H1-B? If I'm permanent resident in Canada, do I still apply H1-B if I want to work in USA? Any reply will be appreciate!

Forget about eliminating backlog, they can't keep their word for 45day letters. It is almost march, only 3 months is left until june. My PD is Jan'03 I haven't received that stupid letter. So do many people... With this speed it will take at least another 1.5 yrs to send all the 45day letters. Do not forget the fact that many of the applications are from the yrs 04 and 05.tanveer666 said:Folks
So far we have not seen any signs that this whole mess will be over in 18 months
we still are looking for flood of approvals if this 18 months slogan is true

There is no provsion you cannot.4MyWife said:Team:
do you know if an employer was allowed to file multiple labor certifications for different positions for the "same" employer? For example could company ABC file 2 Labor Certifications (one for Oracle DB Admin and another for Java Programmer) for the same employee, assuming he/she has the qualitifications. I am asking about the OLD LC methods not PERM... Thanks.

According to DOL website cases from NY regional office are being processed by Atlanta Processing Center- I was under impression that they are by Philly- that might explain why getting no answer about status from Philly-but do you think Atlanta is any better ??? and is anyone in similar situation?
I considered that option.dhan007 said:Tanveer/Sakina,
Do you have any idea about BEC RIR to PERM conversion. If that is more effect in terms of time, why don't we all follow that path. As news are coming, Immigration Reforms Act and even otherwise too, priority dates may move faster. If someone can put light on pulling the case from BECs and filing it under PERM without losing priority date.

"I am completing it and attending to the one item requested (new back to back forms) and will return it as promptly as possible."
Thx

If yes then use it to extend your H1.
See if that time can be used to get the necessary paperwork done through PBEC to get your case reopened.
mrvgson said:Hi: My case is stuck at PBEC (PD Oct 2001; MD; 45letter replied in July2005). I have lost my patience and have decided to not worry about my GC process, but instead go back to school full time for a MBA in the US or Europe (not keen on doing it part time). If I wait for a GC I am thinking it would be atleast another 2 or more years.
I am thinking of applying for Aug 2007.
Thinking out loud what should be my strategy:
. Work on my applications
. Apply for H1B extension since my 6yrs on H1B ends on Dec 2006. (I have been with the same company since 2000).
. When I get admitted, I can ask my company if they would be willing to continue my GC processing while I go to school. (If they say NO, I am OK with it; GC is no longer a top priority for me)
. If they agree, is there any legal requirements that I should keep in mind: like I should be in the US till I get the GC; etc. (I realize that I will have to work for the company once I get my GC. But do I have to start working as soon as I get my GC? What if I get the GC before I finish up school?)
Anything else that I should think about?
I would like to hear from others who have been through a similar decision process.
Thanks.
StressTestInUSA said:Coming back on a new H1 is not an option I think..!! then your new PD will be somewhere around 2007 end...even after a couple of years your current PD of 2003 looks very important to come out of this shit..
you have to live in Canada for tleast 2.5yrs I guess to apply for citizenship..i.e somewhere around 2008 end u will get Canadian citizenship ..
I read it in the canadaian thread in this forum tht some guys live along the Canadaian border and work in the US and cross borders each day to maintain status on both the sides of the border...check out if that is possible for you..it all depends on your personal factors about marriages..kids..family..if u r single maybe you can take this chance..
A PR from Canada is only good in Canada..we cant work in the US with the Canadian PR..If u r a Canadaian citizen, u need to take a TN Visa at the border for each year to come across here and work...
check in the Canadian thread in this forum..u can get a lot of info about this...infact there were some debates also about pros and cons about this step...
