Congratulations to you both and thanks for sharing.

Reply for Karns - H1B 7th yr ext
Karns,
The foll. is from www.fan-law.com
""As regular readers are aware, the American Competitiveness in the Twenty First Century Act (AC21), in certain circumstances, allows persons in H1B status to obtain extensions of that status beyond the six-year period (usually referred to as "seventh-year extensions"). Sections 106(a) and (b) of AC21 set forth the following two requirements for such extensions: first, a labor certification application must have been filed for the person at least one year prior; and, second, either the I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker) must also have been filed and be pending or approved, or else the I-485 must be pending. In those cases that do not require the filing of a labor certification, like the national interest waiver cases, the I-140 must have been filed a year prior and the I-140 or the I-485 must be pending.""
The important part is the "AND" between the above two conditions.
On first reading this, I was like ..How the hell can one file for I-140 while still waiting for LC approval and here is what I came up with as an example - Someone who has his LC approved might NOT qualify for the 7th yr ext according to the above two conditions:
H1B - 6 yrs expire Dec 2003; applied for LC, say, Feb 2003 and LC approved Oct 2003 and still waiting for 140 approval - in this case, even though his LC has been approved, since it was filed less than a year back at the time of 6yr limit expiry, he CANNOT apply for 7th yr ext.
You SHOULD talk to your lawyer IMMEDIATELY and confirm these rules.

Current RIR Date?
Hey Guys !
I have 2 questions for trackGC and and Jaihind2. First of all congrats on clearing the state level.
1. My application was received by SESA on May 7, 2001 - EB2, RIR. If the 9th and 11th May have been processed how come mine still hasn't? When my lawyer called SESA they said they are doing the first week of May currently. Doesn't make sense to me.
Has anyone else heard anything about the current processing date for RIR apps?
2. Did both your lawyers get notification of the state level approval and forwarding of the application to federal level? My lawyer says SESA does not intimate the lawyer about this. They only come to know when the federal level sends the final approval.
Thanks.

Hi All,
I have been following this forum and have seen the frustations that every one of you are undergoing. I have recently joined a company which has branches in Wisconsin and is very actively filing GC. Irrespective of the consultant's current location, it can be done from Wisconsin. It is current in that state and LC is expected in 2-3 months. If anyone of you are interested, please contact at this email address

Dear Friends,
I applied for Delaware Federal labor in July/lastweek/2002.
It has been approved last week !
It tool almost one year to get my labor work, I did a major mistake when I gave my paper work to American lawyer in FEB 2002 she applied in Regular process (NON-RIR) case most of them got labour in 6 months after they applied in RIR case but for me it took 1 year to get approval.
And I don't want to make a big mistake again, I am ready to take risk and want to apply for consulate process.... Can any one of you expain me how it works and How I should apply for it without delay...
I have to apply for I-140 next week, Do you advice me going through Consulate Process or Regualar process in USA. I am ready to take risk in going to India for Consulate process.
My friends told me that if good to apply I-140 and it seems it takes 3 months to get approval and then go to India and apply for i-485 in the same day in the consulate process. Is this true??
Since we people suffer a lot from this US Immigration. Is always better to take advice from your experiences and that's why I also what to exchange my hard feelings for the last 8 months for this mistake I did with my Attorney !...
Thanks a lot and Good Luck for Every one !

I remember someone's consular processing being rejected because there was a credit card fraud case in his name even though it is resolved. He went to get stamping in India and got stuck there. Another friend is also waiting for a long time (> 1 year) in consular processing, it is definitely not faster...
