confused

hI GUYS,

I am thinking of moving to IOWA.
I have filed RIR 10/02 in AZ and CA DOT received 8/03.
I paid tons of money for it and had many problems with my company HR etc.

I am keeping thinking of changing my current job(structural engineer w/ PE) to Geotechnical engineer. I am sure I can't be successful in the structural field with foreign background especially in private company. Therefore, I am now considering of government job (Geotechnical engineer) in IOWA to get the greencard early and I think Geotechnical field is much better for my future. (I can¡¯t explain why but I feel it.)
Government will pay less than what I am paid but no discrimination, I think.
I am not sure if I should wait until I get the green card in the current job that I do not really like, or move to the field I like and lose money and the time I spent to my current RIR.
(This is my opinion but I think I am a slaver under the RIR/Greencard.)

I am not sure I can transfer my current H1B to any new work place or not.
I am not sure this is a good idea or not.
I am not sure I can get the greencard earlier there or not.
Everything is not sure¡¦¡¦.. (I do not even know why I am in the USA. It just happened.)

Please share your thought with me. I do not really know what to do and it is killing me.
:confused:
 
yjung,

I am not sure many in this thread will be able to acutally understand what you have written in your post, but I am sure that everybody here will be able to relate to the frustration that you are going through. We feel that our lives are on hold and that we cannot take decisions that any free/normal man would w.r.t. our careers and hence feel that we are slaves.

You have been patient all these years and are now able to see light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there for a few more months and see how things go. With the rate of DOL approvals these days, your application might also get approved very soon !

The mind is a terrible thing, it can make heaven out of hell and hell out of heaven. Try to see the brighter side of things and take one day at a time. I do not want to sound like a preacher but I guess it is the best that we all can do at this point of time.

Best of luck
 
sfo dol phone number

Inconsitency

Dont know what DOL is doing?. The order in which they process cases are weird. Mine was remanded on July 14; Rd Oct 2 but AVM still says Remand, but cases cases after this date are getting approved randomly.

I understood ntac's approval pattern but not apms. It looks like apms lawyer did some thing or apms just got lucky. Either ways congrats u guys.

Hi Raj,

All I can say is be patient and hopeful. DOL seems to be processing September 2002 cases. Hopefully yours too would be received by DOL sometime soon and then certified.

Re: H1b filing

Your company lawyers should be able to handle all of it, the most they may ask you to provide is an updated resume.

Re: Inconsitency

Hi Titan01, Raj!23,
Here is why I think my case was certified even when it was received Oct 02.

The auto remand started in June. On July 16 AILA had meeting with DOL and convinced DOL to stop Auto remand until new guidelines are given.
My case was auto remanded just after that (July 18) .
My guess is all cases marked remanded on or after July 18th were not actually sent back to SESA.
Those cases were held at DOL just marked as "remanded".
Therefore AVM said "remanded" but my lawyer did not get any letter of that effect.

Now after new guidelines for RIR , when SESA started sending the cases back to DOL,
DOL also started look at cases pending at DOL itself with "remand" state. I think thats how my case got certified.
I am sure my lawyers did nothing.
My case and dates are very similar to one more case recently certified look at j1m's postings.(page 59, 60 of this forum)


I know 2 of my friends who have cases of late Sept. but still AVM shows it "remanded".
My guess is it will take a while for DOL to add those cases back to their system after SESA returns them.

But even if it takes time, as long as long your case satisfy the BS+3 / MS +6m criteria,
the chances of having case certified are very high.
So do not loose hope, something will work out soon.
I am also monitoring my friend's sept cases, if I hear anything I will post.

Regards,
apms

help with labour cert!

Hello ,

My lawyer took back my labour application from the SF DOL before it was auto-remanded or rejected.

Now they applied my labour in non-RIR . With the new guidelines will the DOL ever reconsider my old application?

Has anyone been in this stage and got approved or DOL reconsidered their case?

Please let me know

TIA
