I have filed my i-485 application with Vermont Service Center sometimes in 2003 or 2004 (do not remember, was a long time ago). The case was transferred to Texas Service Center in March 2007.
I just spoke to the USCIS customer service, and they told me that once case is transferred, the "receipt" date changes to the transfer date. So, due to the "improved service within the TX center" (as USCIS claims), all people who were waiting for adjustment of status and were transferred to the TX are screwed again. On the other hand, people who filed with the TX service center in 2006 retain their original "receipt" date.
:mad:
P.S. my priority date was current for the past 2 months, however there is still no GC in sight.

If a person travels on AP, he will get a new PAROLE I-94 which shows expiry date of 1 year from the day he entered on AP. Can the person stay in US AFTER that expiry date and continue working using a valid I-797?

Hey folks who signed up for advocacy days: I am so proud of you! You signed up for the good of all of us. I heard some of you are not confirming your participation. This cannot be an option at this point!
After all the effort IV has put in in securing the appointments, I, V, We all are counting on you. You had the best intentions when you signed up and we appreciate that, now we need you to finish grad school without being a drop out.
Many hundreds of hours have gone into organizing this event and not having folks at a meeting that has been confirmed is bad PR for IV and disappointing, sad and frustrating for the people who have been working tirelessly. Can't have it, can't tolerate it. You guys must follow through on your commitment!!!!
PM me if you have some pressing issue and maybe we can muster up some help to pull you through..

Dear lawyer,
my I-485 is pending; PD is oct 05.
my Labor Cert shows that we use job description of programmer/analyst. ETA Case shows title as "Software Engineer"
I have a job offer in Information Technology, will there be any problems if I use AC21 with the new company?
I have not yet accepted the offer.
Thanks for your advice.

This is what, I saw on Ron's forum. We would need to continue what IV has been suggesting since long .....
Can USCIS be sued for picking files in random ( the only time they budge is when a federal judge put an order ).
Ron Gotcher: Anyone can be sued for anything. In the absence of a large, well funded group of plaintiffs, however, I don't see this kind of suit going anywhere. For now, the remedy is Congress. Organize a group to initiate a letter writing campaign to Congress. Write to your own Congressman, your two Senators, and the chairs of the Senate (Kennedy) and House (Loftgren) immigration sub-committees. Get the facts straight and offer as much emprical evidence as possible. If Congress were to receive 100,000 such letters, they would definitely do something about this problem.

Hi everyone:
Can someone suggest if I'm in a hot water over this issue. My company applied for the labor certification back in Dec. 2002. In the Labor Certification form they quoted 40 for the "Total hours per week". The LC was approved back in July of 2007. Later in Sept. of 2007 we filed I-140 and I-485 concurrently.
In April of this year my company received an RFE for the I-140, where USCIS requested some additional translations and my W-2 forms for all the years of my employment. We've responded to it.
So here's my question. Since 2002 my working schedule changed and now I work 32 hours per week, that is different than 40, which was included in the LC. It doesn't say anywhere in my W-2's, but one can easily see that I'm being paid less by doing some simple math.
Do you think this would pose a problem and if so, what shall I do at this point?
Thank you in advance!

As many of our clients have experienced first-hand, unannounced H-1B site visits are well under way through USCIS' Office of Fraud Detection and National Security ("FDNS"). Such site visits may occur at the H-1B employer's principal place of business and/or at the H-1B nonimmigrant's work location, as indicated on the filed Form I-129 petition (regardless of whether the work location is controlled by the H-1B employer). While one may question the legitimacy of such an intrusion on the workplace without warning, FDNS has indicated that it does not require a subpoena to conduct such an unannounced site visit. This assertion...

once 140 is approved, one can port the PD. Doesn't matter whether it was LC SUB or not. My personal understanding, check with a lawyer.
However this practice is long gone (discontinued since second quarter of 2007) and no more LC SUB is allowed.
I am wondering, I assume that you must have done this prior to second quarter of 2007, then you may have also filed 485 based on this 140.
Not a legal advice, contact a good immigration attorney.

Folks,
I was on L1B and H1B for about 2.5 years around 2000-2003. I am now on TN for past 3-4 years and my current employer is going to chagne it to H1B.
The company HR and I are under the impression that this would require a new H1B application (by April 2nd to qualify for the upcoming year 2008 H1B quota). However, the company attorney told us that since I was on H1B in the past, so we don't need to file for a new H1B petition against the 2008 quota...rather we can activate my old H1-B at any time and use the remaining time from the 6 year period.
Does anyone know if there is any such provision to activate the old visa. I am under the impression that as I changed to TN status and no longer hold H1B, so it would require a new petition.
Your opinion would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello All,
I need ur advice.
My H1 expires this sept 19th 2010. I don't have the present H1 stamped.
Also, I have the new extended H1 which is valid from Sept 19th 2010.
Now, I'm planning to travel to India and go for stamping.
1. If I go for stamping before sept19th, on which H1 will i get the visa stamped,present H1 or the new extended H1?
2. Is it safe to go before sept19th or after sept 19th? I prefer the stamping on H1 extension.
I'm flexible with my travel.
I'm waiting to book my appointement based on the advice given.
Appreciate ur inputs!!

Hi,
My parents are currently in the U.S. on their visitor Visa (B2) which has 10 yr validity running till 2014. Their visa was originally sponsored by my sister and brother in law. Now we would like to extend my parents current stay beyond the six months I94 and we want to file for an extension. However, the financial position of my sister has changed as she is out of a job now. Is it possible that we can show me (son) as a sponsor, showing my financial statements/pay stubs as proof of financial support? This might mean I am taking over sponsorship now though their 10 year visa was sponsored by my sister. Would this be a problem leading to rejection of extension, or worse, affecting the validity 10 year visa itself?
Please let me know. Appreciate your time. Thank you.
