Gurus:
I am into 8th year of my H1b and getting it approved every year becuase of pending I-140/I-485 application.
Situation1-->I recently I noticed my I-94 number with new I-797 approval notice does not match with the one I had only passport. New I-94# does belong to me in tha past I-797 approvals.
Q1: Is it major problem and do i need to fix it right away or I can wait to apply for extension for next year? My immigration depatment is silent on this , may be because they made a mistake in I-129 petition form.
Situation2: Even my paspport in I-129 has typo...but I have recetnly got new passport from NYC as it was due for renewal.
Question2: Do I need to update USCIS with new passport#, if Yes..how?
Situation3: While submitting I-129 form my immigration dept also did not put in Alien number and I noticed that its not showing up on my I-797 approval notice.
Question: Is it something that also need fix or shall I wait form next year extension. Is it required in H1b notice as I have pending I-140/485.
Any suggestions/advice..please share it if any one had similar experience..
Thanks

My Labor was filed in Aug, 2004 under EB3 (Traditional); pending at Phil BEC. Again filed in Dec, 2005 under EB2 (PERM); I-140 Approved. Can I change my EB3 PD to EB2? If so, please let me know my options. I am in 7th year now. I will talk to my lawyer, without me knowing all the things; this attorney is not ready to talk to me. Thanks for your help.

Thanks all. I called my lawyer, and she mentioned that there have been specific cases of the Neb Service Center rejecting I485 applications for internists while they are doing fellowships. I guess my plan would be to find a 'full time' position working a couple of nights a week in the same city where I am working as a fellow, and use that as proof of ongoing full time internist work.
I am not sure if they need just a letter, or a w2s also. I guess 'full time' is a very arbitrary word, and can be applied to more than 28-32 hrs a week, which is very easily doable.
Full time would be the standard definition of 40 hrs per week. It is clearly defined in the J1 waiver regulations for physicians and will likely be extended to the labor based applications as well since adjudicators are very familiar with the J1 waiver and NIW physician cases. Ultimately you have to decide whether the risk is worth it. W-2s as well as paystubs, as well as employers letters attesting to the scope of, and the full time nature of the work are often requested.

I'm understanding now and thanks but I still didn't understand why a guy from EB3 ROW with PD March 2004 is receiving now I-485 approval (GC) if the last VB shows 01 AUG, 2002?
Thanks.

This is purley an example of Mailroom confusion.
You may be able to resend it clearly explaining the Mail room error.
It is best to avoid this kind of confusion. This Mail room people are not trained well to calculate or think like you and me are thinking.
You might have seen the cashier at walmart. If you buy worth of 20$ and you give 50$. They need calculator to figure it our how much to return.

Folks,
What is the best and most cost effective way to send some money home ?
Till last year I was using the service from icici and was under the belief that the exchange rate was pretty decent. the service I believe was never free as they make up for service fee though the exchange rate.
Today for example when I check on icici it says they will give a rate of 47.63 per $ which I believe means around half a rupee less per $ ?
so for $1000 they are essentially charging Rs 500 (aound $10)
I beleive previously they were giving around 25 paise less per $ and now it looks like it is 50 paise less per dollor ?
Western union charges $15 and also gives a lower exchange rate than icici.
So would that mean ICICI isthe best cost effective one ?
Ideas ?

Unlike H1B, at the time of layoff, if 485 is pending more than 6 months, you are still in legal status, (in h1b case there is no grace period). There is no time limit to find a similar job. You can stay at home for till your 485 approval, with legal status. Having said that, if INS asks for a eveidence of full time-permanat job you should be in a postion to show the job offer. In simple terms, tou should have a vaild job offer at the time of approval of your 485.
If i-485 has been pending for more than 6 months and I suddenly get laid off can i leave the country and come back when it's approved? Or can I leave the country and come back in a few months with or without job offer?

Hello,
I dont see how they can ascertain whether case is complicated without opening it and doing some analysis. It would be only possible if they just hang a case in between after they open it or else one way is by weight (joking).
They might have a weighing scale and lesser weight of the application simpler it is (HAHAHA)
we can only guess
i would assume cases that are not substitute labor, porting priotity date, cross chargeability, clear birth certificates, clear employer verification letter, no namecheck issues, no fingerprinting issues, etc

if H1b withdrawal is mandated then why do most of the employer's do not do it ?
shouldn't it put them in a legal situation ?
here is what I found on one of the murthy's posts
According to Department of Labor (DOL) regulations, an employer must continue to pay the H1B worker until there is a �bona fide� termination of the employment relationship. It is not clear exactly what constitutes a �bona fide termination,� but one viewpoint is that termination occurs on the day the employer notifies the H1B employee that the position has been terminated and all obligations for payment of wages terminate on the date of employment termination. The other viewpoint is that a termination only occurs when the H1B employer notifies the INS of the termination, the H1B petition is cancelled and the employer complies with the return airfare obligation for the employee. Please note that INS does not expressly spell out the options and therefore this is an unclear area of immigration law. As it can take several months for the INS to act on a revocation request, employers generally do not continue to pay wages until INS takes action. The employer usually notifies the employee of the termination date and discontinues any salary or other payments at that time. Thereafter, they notify INS.

Thanks for your replies.
I understand the use of AC21 and I think I am fine as far as GC process goes. My main concern is the continuity of the H1B visa. Since the designation and the location of the employment will change, will there have to be H1B amendment, since the employer is same so there won't be any H1B transfer.
I am eventually going to contact the employer's lawyer, but wanted to do my own research ahead of that. I couldn't get very clear answer from online sources and blogs. Any suggestion here would be very help full. Thanks!
Only yesterday I had a converstion with my compnay lawyer on this topic.
Her view is that I would have to amend the H1 for any location and/or responsibility changes.

Hello Ann,
I very much appreciate and thankful for your last reply. Unfortunately, the prospective employer did not agree to file her COS due to some of their own internal regulations.
Now, the current employer through which my sister came here on B1 wants her here but is not willing to file a B1 Extension. Instead, they want her to travel back to India on the day her I-94 expires, and come back again immediately within a week, so that she can again continue to be here for another 90 days.
I wanted to ask your opinion if you think that'll be a problem at Port of Entry? Ofcourse, my sister is going to carry all her documents and the letter, but I do not know if the Immigration Officer at PoE would create any problems/issue? This company however is a well-known company in the ranks of Google, Microsoft etc. That's the only consolation we have that it might be just okay.
Please advise,
Thanks
P
Hi Prem,
As long as your sister is complying with the terms of her B-1 admission, she is entitled to begin work for the new employer as soon as that employer files an H-1 petition requesting a change of status on her behalf. Pay stubs from her original H employer should not be required. The language quoted below is from a Nov. 2000 USCIS Q&A:
"Q10: Who is eligible to use the H1B "portability" provisions?
A10: The portability provisions allow a nonimmigrant alien previously issued an H-1B visa or otherwise accorded H-1B status to begin working for a new H-1B employer as soon as the new employer files an H-1B petition for the alien. Previously, aliens in this situation had to await INS approval before commencing the new H-1B employment. These provisions apply to H-1B petitions filed "before, on, or after" the date of enactment, so all aliens who meet this definition can begin using the portability provisions.
Q11: Are there any other limitations on the portability provisions?
A11: An alien must have been lawfully admitted into the United States. The new employer must have filed a "non-frivolous" petition while the alien was in a period of stay authorized by the Attorney General. A non-frivolous petition is one that has some basis in law or fact. INS plans to further define this in its implementing regulations. Subsequent to such lawful admission, the alien must not have been employed without authorization."
However, if the request for a change of status is made too soon after her arrival USCIS could find that she committed fraud at entry. For that reason, I strongly advise that nothing be filed (including the LCA)until your sister has been here at least 30 days, and preferably 60 days.
Also, if your sister was out of the US for a year or more, there is a possibility that she might be subject to the H-1 cap.
Hope this information is helpful.
Ann

Once you get the I 485 receipt..you can apply EAD on your own..Why you need to beg for that to the Employer. Let it go. File for your I 485 and get the receipt. That's enough to keep you in status.
Filing AP and EAD are very simple process and you can do it on your own.

Thanks for posting this link - it is very useful.
I had not seen an update from USCIS yet that explained clearly the severity of the backlog. Next time we do an interview/radio show etc., it may be a good idea to point to this press release by the USCIS. We often hear that some congressmen are not convinced that it takes more than 7 years to get a GC. Next time we do a letter campaign or meet with a congressmen, let us print this out and take it with us.
I found this in another website:
