RC0878 said:Hi Gurus,
When i saw that several RIR labor applications around my priority date (Aug'2003) are being cleared and there isn't any news on my Non RIR case, I discussed the matter with my lawyer.
Attorney says, nothing is happening with the non RIR cases at the moment. Attorney is suggesting to convert to RIR based on - Last Friday the USDOL published a notice to convert the conventional cases to RIR by a process that is simpler than PERM conversion.
Any suggestion Gurus????
Anyone else in a similar situation. I just want to make sure, this isn't another game that makes more money for the attorney. Also anyone has any idea on how much would it cost?

GCVARUMA said:eefrog.. One of my friends case was exactly like tot-batot.. Both husband and wife had expired visa on their passports. The husband was in the US and the wife recently went to the US embassy in India to get her passport stamped. They refused to stamp her passport saying that since the husband's visa was not stamped in his passport. What he told me is that somewhere in the list of documents that are required for stamping it states that a copy of the visa stamp of the primary H1 holder should be enclosed. So as my friends visa had expired they refused to give his wife a visa. So the husband had to go to Canada and get his visa stamped on the passport and then send all the documents to his wife in India. This is NOT to alarm anyone of you. This is what he had told me. I would check/re-check with the lawyer and the US embassy to find out all the documents that will be required just to be sure.

I am planning to send my wife and son to India. I am not going .
my visa stamping is expired and my wife is going for visa stamping at chennai embassy.
Her first visa stamping also expired. I am on my 7th year of H1.
Will it cause problem ?
Is there anyone who had gone through similar case ?

msp1976 said:I had similar situation in July
My wife went to the Mumbai consulate and got her stamp H4
I donot have a stamp..
I guess there is no hard and fast logic to this thing...
Depending on the officers's mood...if he/she got laid yeaterday..etc..etc..
Chennai is more restrictive consulate...Mumbai is relatively less problematic..
Islamabad is going to be far more restricitve than Mumbai or Chennai for reasons I donot need to explain.....
wlj_wzz said:Guys, I have a problem with wages and I need your advice. From the screening shot, I found BEC quoted the wrong prevailing wage for my case. I work for an university. However, instead of quoting a higher education wage, they got the industry wage for me. So my pay rate is $2000 more than higher education wage(which should be the one to use), BUT $2000 less than industry wage. I know this error for a while, but didn't worry at all, since its still 95%+ of the prevailing wage. But, from the NOF thread, I read one story that a guy received NOF when his salary is $400 less than prevailing wage. This really scares me. I can see NOf steering my way now. My questions:
1) Anybody got approval while their pay rate is less than prevailing wage, but greater than 95% of prevailing wage?
2) What is the phone number/email attorney or employer can reach PBEC for corrections?
3) Can employer make corrections? My lawyer is as useless as she can be.
Thanks a lot.

GC_from_NJ said:aycy - I think you should write a strong letter to PBEC as to what happened to the certification letter which you never got. Have they sent it and it got misplaced or something else is going on with your case.
What does the online status link say ? Ideally one gets the certification letter within a month..
I wish I knew the answer. What I'm worried about is that they may not deny our cases, but they may delay it for another 2 or 3 months by sending a NOF, asking if the employer agrees to pay 100% in the future. I really hope I'm wrong. Anybody approved with less than 100% salary? Anybody at all?ohio_boy said:I kindda do not understand. They should pay you prevailing wage only after I-485 is approved, aren't they? So it seems the 95% rule is not in effect anymore?
