Hi,
I and my wife got AP's issued on Feb 4th 2008 with Validity till Feb 03 2008. We went to India and I returned on March 23rd and my Wife on April 20th, so at the port of entry we entered thru AP. On I-94 and AP officer stamped "Paroled till March 22 2009" for me and "Paroled till April 19th 2009" to my wife.
Now my question is: my wife wants to visit India soon in Feb 1st week and return before April 1st week, does she need to apply for a new AP or can she use the existing AP at the POE? Would there be any issues? Please suggest.
Also, In case if she stays for long, can I apply for a new AP for her when she is in India?
Thanks in Advance.

Great news!
But to answer the question posed - how do we get more of the affected retrogressed people involved. I suspect it will take "casting a wider net" and getting people from different countries.

W"oaaa thats a col idea man -- the UI is a bit hard to use - especially for clients with no design app experience-- maybe u need to lead people thru the coices-- eg first choose a page layout, pick one of these.. now ...... something like that ..
but wow nice little app, a lot of work I am sure, Looking forward to seeing the finished product. ( its very processor hungry? - hard to use sometimes because of this)
- keep trying - Kudos to u man
Thanks for the review. I did create a small flash movie to use as instructions on how to use it. I would have added it to my upload but it ended up to large to do so. The processor problem is easily over come by taking out the color component and just do a 10 color selector but it will limit the selectivity of it all.
If you want the instructional video email me and I'll send it to ya. guitarzen@aol.com

The U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin for January 2008 contains more bad news for Indian nationals in the EB2 category. The cutoff date for EB2, India, retrogressed by two additional years, to January 1, 2000. Moreover, the prediction contained in the Visa Bulletin for EB2, India, is that the annual limit could be reached within the next few months. If this occurs, the category will become "unavailable" for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The explanation for this is simply that demand for visa numbers by the USCIS for EB2, India, adjustment-of-status cases far exceeds supply
EB3 cutoff dates either remained unchanged or moved slightly forward, depending upon country of chargeability. The January Visa Bulletin cutoff dates become effective on January 1, 2008. Until that time, the December 2007 Visa Bulletin cutoff dates remain valid.

This tax issue does not seem like part of "All other Green Card Issues" under which it is started.

My guess is EB2 will return to current and EB3 will be retrogressed anything from 2002 to 2005. I doubt it will be any more current than that.
It's impossible to know. It depends how many applications were ready for approval by the time October hits.

How one can distinguish if I am paid via H1 or EAD ? both are linked to Same SSN and IRS go by SSN.
Am i missing something?
Update : Or do i need to fillin a new I9 form http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf
You don't. Your employer files an I9, and there they mention your status. This is why they need to update using an I9 every time you get a H1 extension.

Hello ,
Im currently living in USA , came by tourist visa for 6 months , tomorrow was my experitation date , but my father company in south america filled a petition for me under the L1-B here in the united states. We create a new company here to be the subsidiary and the idea is to get the visa so I can stay here and do the work for the the company.
My question is , what posibilities are the USCIS can approve or deny my petition?
Here is the info about the parent company with the us branch :
Automotive sales , service of authorized delaer of Jeep Chrysler and Doge .
My job was manage the import area for auto parts being purchased in usa to be imported to the parent company.
I do not carry profesional degrees however i was in the payroll of the company since 1998.
I grew up in the company during the yearsd and scale in different titles till get the Import general manager title.
My job here basically will be perfom the auto parts inspection , purchased from provides in the usa , pay providers and take care of the business financial accounts.
Is this sufficient to get an approval? or it can be rejected?
We got asked a lot of documents and payrolls from parent company and so , but Im no sure if this petition is consisent to be approved since i do not have the profesional degree and I dont really see this work can be done for someone american here.
Then there is another issue realated with me , My petiton was submitted days ago and It suppoused i got an extension while the USCIS review my petition , however , 2 days ago my husband intent to come over the usa to visit me and his child and he had problems in inmigration at port of entry he was locked in a room for several hours and finally he got rejected , he could communicate with me over the phone to le me know what was going on , and he told me inmigration already knew I was here and the y saw my extension but they said they will come to check on me since my status was close to expire , so the said they know everything about my entry cuz they checked on the data base and so , now i want to know , this situation can be an issue to got a L1-B denial? I mean coudl the officers from the CBP write a note about me , since they got all my info , address and so?
Im really confused , I dont know is i will get an extension removal or what and If i willg et or not an L1-B visa , but since my husband have been banned to come to usa for several years I dont really see the point to get the visa , but some payments have been made by my parent company in south america , so I dont really know what to do , without knowing what status would i get since now.
How many time does the USCIS take to approve or deny a visa? my petition was submitted on friday.... my expiration date is tomorrow 29 may 2010 ... do i have to leave the country then? the attorney in charge said i was covered but after this problem with my husband im not so sure I really need another opinion .. thank you!
L1 Visa is for intra-company transfer of an employee based outside the US to a location within US.
To do so:
- A company must have a legitimate foreign business presence and should be able to prove its existence and legitimate business operations
- The person being transferred should have been a genuine employee of the foreign location of the company for at least 1 year within the immediate three years of the Visa petition
- The company must have a legitimate business operation already in existence in the US - the location to which the foreign employee is proposed to be transferred
- The company should be able to show the need for the specific expertise that the proposed individual brings to the position in the US, which cannot be obtained otherwise from the US labor market at the prevailing wage rate for the position
- The company should be in a sound financial position, to be able to afford and pay the salaries proposed for the individual
All the above conditions are scrutinized very carefully and evidence sought to substantiate them in case of any doubt by USCIS. They usually also evaluate if the US operations have been established primarily to be used as an immigration vehicle
So, if your application is very clear cut on all of these points, then at least you might have some chance.
There could be other criteria that USCIS looks for, which I am not aware of (since I am not a lawyer or have any direct experience of L1 filing).

What is your PD?
Good luck
Employer need to demonstrate 'Ability to Pay' from PD till I-140 is approved. Since you've used Nov 2004 labor, I assume that your PD is 'Nov 2004'. In this case your employer has to demonstrate ability to pay for year 2005 (even if you were not employed that time). If they have shown loss in 2005 tax return, chances are that your petition will be declined and only option is MTR and/or AAO.
Here is some good info... http://www.ilw.com/articles/2005,0118-guevara.shtm
You need a real good lawyer.

We have a company lawyer. Only thing I have is 485 receipts, FP notice, EAD and AP.
Nothing has been shared with us till I-140 approval.
Upon my demands, all I got is my I-140 application number. My HR dept has a strict position that I-140 & LC are employer documents and it will NOT BE Shared with employees.
I still doubt that USCIS will expect me to have these documents.
Any ideas How can I know job description? Can I call USCIS? dont' think they will entertain?
I am about to file for H1B extension. Is there anything here that can give me some idea about job description? I guess H1B and LCA job description should be same. isn't it???
One way to find out is, when you filled in your labor application (before PERM). Your attorney, just before filing for labor should have send you some papers to sign and fax it or mail it through post.
There either you or your attorney shold have filled in job descriptions and job details (this should be the latest experience you had before filing the labor).
One more way to find out, while filling in your I 140 petition if your attorney has send you documents to verify. Then you would find Job title specified in there.
After you filed for labor and and if you have specified your address in labor, then a copy of certified labor goes to that address ( I have received one, it said a copy of the certified labor has been CC'd to Employer and attorney)
To my knowledge that would be your best bet to find out job description and job title with out having labor cert in hand as I 140 approval does not say any thing.
Good luck.

The problem is 12 years experience might not make you eligible for EB2. But The job requirement should fulfil EB2 requirement.

Dear All
I will be thankful to you if i can get the responses from some folks who have gone through the situation like mine.
Here is the summary of my case -
1) Came to US in 2004 on F1 visa.
2) Got the job in 2006. Company A applied for H1B in 2007. Got H1B visa stamped on passport valid from September 2007 to September 2010.
3) Was laid off on 16th Novmeber 2007.
4) Company B applied for H1B petition on 21st December 2007 using regular processing. No pay check from company B.
5) Company C applied for H1B petition in March 2008 using premium processing. Comapny C applied based on A and not based on B.
6) Company C's petition got approved but with I 797 B. No I - 94 attached. Attorney asked me to leave the country and come back with a new I 94 as i have an almost brand new visa. I did so. And started working with Company C. Meanwhile, company B's petition was approved in May 2008 without Adjustment of Status (means no I 94 attached only I 797 B)
7) Worked with company C from April 2008 to September 2008. Although, no pay check from 16th November 2007 to 1 April 2008 because company B did not provide any.
8) Got the job with company D. Company D applied for H1B petition and it was approved with I 94 attached ( means I 797A).
Now 2010 is coming and my visa will expire in September 2010.
I want to go to India to get the H1B stamp on my passport with the current employer's I 797 (which is employer D).
I do not have any documentation from Company B except receipt number for H1B petition. I do not have any pay check from company B.
I have paycheck from 1st April 2008 to 31 September 2008 from Company C and 1st October 2008 to till date from Company D.
Will i face problem during visa interview?
I am thankful to your comments and suggestions.

Hello,
Here is my situation.
- I'm under EB2 - RoW category. My I-140 just got approved and I was preparing to file for my I-485 (current)
- I went to the Bahamas last week to get my 3 year H1B renewal stamping but it was denied due to employer issues and I was forced to go back to India.
- Now I cant go back to US to file my 485. My company is still offering to help me on my GC.
I'm still reeling from the shock of my H1B denial. What are my options now?
Is Consular processing the way to go? Will loosing my H1B status have any effect on CP?
Should I start CP immediately or can I wait a few months to try to get back to the US on a new H1B?
Can anyone point me to some online materials detailing CP.
Thanks in advance.
Why don't you try to apply for the H1B visa again in India?

When you are applying for the PERM, who decides the requirements? Your employer who sponsors you, or the job itself?
Be wise. When we talk about whether we use MS+2 or BS+5, it doesn't mean we tailor the requirements. It's the issue of which is more important, the academic studies or the working experience.
You are right. The issue is which is more important, the academic studies or the working experience.
And, that is decided by the job that needs to be done, NOT by the employer who sponsors you.
If you were an employer sponsoring someone's Greencard, you would first write down the job decription and then decide if it falls under EB2 or EB3, not the other way around.
