You can apply for premium processing by paying 1000$ so that you can get your extension in a weeks time.

@waitingmygc - What you are saying is plain garbage. The OP has all the more reasons to worry if his employer is a consulting company. These firms send their consultants to various client locations, but don't file for LCAs each time.
@OP - It is very strange to see USCIS is going back to see if any LCA violation occurred at this stage of your application. You will need a good attorney on your side. Good luck!
sledge_hammer,
I like people like you for criticizing the post without any reason.
If you could have read the post carefully, it has been mentioned that if anyone has all the proper LCA and his/her employer is consulting company then no need to worry.
I know lot of my friends got GC last year through consulting companies and worked in past where client location different than employer location. Moreover, couple of them got same RFE and they responded it by mentioning client location they worked for their employer (IT consulting company) and keeping all the previous LCA ready in case. I hope it will help those in same situation.

Actually being a Defence employee is a positive. You can show proof of stronger connection to home country because of following.
1) Pension that is available every month for life.
2) Free treatment at Army Hospitals.
3) Subsidised cost at Military Canteen facilities for provisions etc.

This is my first H1-b. My interview was on Jan. 4, 2008 in Toronto and got 221g for administrative review. I faxed my research description the VO requested to US consulate in Toronto on Jan. 7, 2008, got the check finished email today. I keep calling DOS for my status during the waiting time. It may work for my case. It is really a pain time. Good luck to you.
Hi I am stuck in 221(g) since mid-November 2007..over 75 days..can you provide some details about your case?
Mine is H1B 3 extension for 7th year at Mumbai. I am not getting any help in this matter from the authorities that my lawyer has contacted...only the standard response that it they are awaiting a response.
If you like you can send me a private message. Thank you very much in advance for your feedback.

No one cares how you exit. A lesser known fact is that most Mexicans who are here illegally catch a regular commercial flight when they visit their homes in Mexico.
Thanks a lot for your timely reply. I want to know does it matter how we exited US, I mean did anyone see your advance parole while leaving US.

Ravi

Hello you all,
I guess I am the victim of bad attorney - I didn't do enough of my homework. Here my PD Jan 2003 labor just got approved. Fired my labor attorney who I couldn't never get hold of. In the process of preparing I140, my current attorney found the my company has been at loss in the past 3 years so doesn't look good for I-140 approval. His recommendation is to renew H1b then file PERM next year with a different employer. As depressing as it could be - I have to move forward.
I am in Michigan and intended to move to bay area. My job is IT senoir development/IT project management for 8 years. This time I would like to do some homework: before I start to look for a new job in bay area, does anyone know what is the approx. prevailing wage for EB2?
Can someone give me some infomation on this or where I could find it?
Thanks.

Yep..they just noted that I came for the initial appointment and asked to come after my finger heals..i had surgery on the finger and went back after the finger healed
If you dont mind telling me, which ASC you went to ? can you give the city and state? Also when they put a note on the FP notice , do they return the original FP to you or they keep it. The reason I am asking is I am thinking of doing a walk-in at some other ASC in case the original ASC asks to reschedule instead of doing walk-in after healing. So I will need the original FP appointment if I goto some other ASC. My wife has some travel plans in coming 2-3 weeks and want to get this out of the way.

I got RFE stating that Submit the evidence that the alien obtained the required five years progressive experience in the job offered or the related occupation before, evidence of experience must be in the form of letters from current or former employer giving the name, address and title of the employer and a description of the experience of the alien including specific dates of the employement and specific duties.
I am curious to know did any body got such kind of RFE, what should i do the companies which i have worked for they no longer exist, what should i do, i have the experience letters with me but i donot have the job description mentioned on it.
Please advise. what are the chances of approval of my case.
Thanks in advance.
They are asking for a Letter of Experience. Your I-140 job description might be requiring 5 year of experience or you might have filed in EB2 with a Bachelor�s Degree and they might be looking for the 5 year experience letter which is a requirement for EB2 if you have just a Bachelors Degree.
Please Provied more info about you case......

Folks
Is anyone has done adjustment of status from B2 to H1.
My friend is in US with 10 yrs multiple entry visa, and he likes to do adjustment of status. Any advice.
Thanks
This is very risky, if not done correctly.
Assume that you would got the I-797 and started working in the US, subsequently, when you go for H1-b stamping in India, high risk of rejection there. This is because B1/B2 has a non-immigrant intention and changing the status to H1-b within the US sends the wrong signal to the Consular officer during stamping.
Correct thing to do would be go to India after getting I-797, get the H1-b stamped, re-enter US on H1 status. Everything would be alright.

Thank you both for your replies.
I understand that we may not be eligible for an EB1 but would we still be able to apply for an EB2 without leaving the country?

Hi All,
I would greatly appreciate if you can respond to my query. I went for Visa Stamping Interview at New Delhi Consulate on 3rd Dec. I was given a pink slip /administrative processing and told by VO that i will get a response within 3 weeks, but it has been 6 weeks now and my case is still pending. I wanted to know
1. if I can withdraw my H-1B visa stamping and travel back on Advanced Parole ?
2. If I go back using my AP would my H-1B visa be invalid and would I have to use my EAD for working ?
3. My AP right now is back in USA with my wife. Is there any issue if she sends it by courier to me here in India ?
Please let me know at your earliest convenience,
Thanks

All,
I want to make sure we acknowledge every contribution our members make, monetary and in terms of ideas.
As I said in the main thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=9780&postcount=33) it was posts on the forum by virtual55, jkays94 and cpolisetti that set the WaPo ball rolling.
Thank you to them and every member who does his or her part in big and small ways.

Thanks Ruben and others,
Yes the salary requirement is ok since i have greater than 60k anyway, what are other requirements as in our company 50% people are on h1b. Is having 50% as h1b with less than 20 employees is a problem now a days from extension point of view.
Thanks again for your reply.

I'm in my 9th year of H1B which is going to expire in about six months. My employer is suggesting to extend H1B and not use or extend EAD. Based on your experience and knowledge please post your advise. If a post like this already exists, please point me to that. I could not find one easily. Thanks a lot.
Irrespective of whether EAD is used, one should always extend EAD as a backup. ( Especially in this economy)

For my recent H1B extention for 7th year extention, I have come across strange situation.
My old H1B was valid till 5th Feb 2007. Extention was applied in Jan 2007 with approved I-140. Recently I have received approved H1B extention with new I-94, but it states validity is from 22 March 2007 to 5th Feb 2010.
I thought the extention should have been from 6th Feb 2007 to 5th Feb 2010.
what should be infered from above ? Does it mean that I was out of ststus fron 6th Feb 2007 till 21st March 2007.
I would appereciate any input on this.
If this makes me out of status , is there a way to fix this by contacting USCIS again ?
Thanks
Saurav
