Urgent. H1 129 petition reopned and being reviewed.

[gceeker05]

My priority date is Oct 2002 and I got my labor approved in Jan 2005. I could file my I485 in June 07.(EB3 retrogressed) My 140 was applied and approved in 2005.

in 2006 my H1 was extended for 3 years valid till oct, 2009.

I got a mail from USCIS regarding this H1 that was approved in 2006 with following message.

We reopened this I129 petition for a Nonimmigrant worker and are now revviewing our earlier decision. ....
Our review should be completed in 30 days. We will notify you by mail when we make decision or if we need something from you.

My attorney has not received any mail from USCIS. They will call USCIS in a day or two for details.

I have left this sponsoring employer in Jan 2009 using EAD and working fulltime for a fortune 100 employer. AC21 not yet filed.

Please let me know if anybody has any clue/suggestions etc.

I am getting little nervous about this one.

Thanks

-------------I dont know why you got this email. H1 petition is filed by US employer not not by you.

----------------------Your attorney has not filed that petition and I dont know if he will get any update.

----------------why not to file AC21? if the USCIS send RFE then at this time they are asking lot of documents and if USCIS send NOID then more money to lawyer for replying.
Please let me know if anybody has any clue/suggestions etc.

Thanks for your reply.

Do you think that my previous employer may have revoked the H1? I am more than inclined to think it may be the case.

also do think that if previously approved H1 in due course, gets rejected and that makes my stay from 2006 to the time till I filed my 485 (i.e june 07) becomes illegal stay.. ? Please dont think I am overreacting.. I just have kind of got worries....

-------------------------only employer or USCIS knows about this.

I am more than inclined to think it may be the case.

-----------------------------you need to talk to your lawyer. if you had valid status when you filed I-485 then I dont see problems.
