Useful info from Murthy.com
If anyone faces similar situation they should try to withdraw to avoid 5 year ban
The Murthy Law Firm has received several reports and learned of instances in which H1B employees were sent back home to India after the Christmas / New Year holiday from various airports, particularly Newark, NJ, and JFK in New York, NY. We at the Murthy Law Firm will be contacting both AILA national and the CBP office in Newark and New York. Our effort is to gain clarification and determine the basis for sending H1B employees back to India (or other home countries), and, if this is due to an error of judgment or law, we will seek a reversal of this recent, alarming trend. In addition, a related January 8, 2010 memorandum from the USCIS analyzes the definition of "employer" and "employee" particularly for H1B employees working at third-party client sites. While these two actions may not be related, both demonstrate the current level of government scrutiny of the H1B program. Hence, each employer and employee should operate by strictly following the H1B program requirements.
�MurthyDotCom
We will need to review the events and the USCIS's evolving definitions of relevant laws to determine short, intermediate, as well as long-term lawful solutions to deal with this issue. If an H1B employee accepts expedited removal / deportation (with the government paying the cost of the airline ticket) from the CBP officer, removal may result in a minimum 5-year bar on reentering the United States. If an H1B employee indicates to the CBP officer at the airport that s/he is requesting a withdrawal to enter the United States (and return home on the next flight at one's own expense), s/he is able to apply for a new H1B visa stamp either with the same or a new H1B employer and reenter the U.S. within a few days / weeks.
�MurthyDotCom
We at the Murthy Law Firm will continue to share useful information that we believe will help you to plan your travel or when you change H1B employers.
Things are getting worse in 2010... I hoped it would get better...

Got a BIG RFE for 7th yr extension from CSC PP.
I have applied for 485 (I140 approved), and have EAD/AP from same employer last yr.
I got this RFE and employer may not have/provide all the documents,
My question is can we withdraw H1 and then work on EAD?
Will that adversely affect my case for AOS?
Main list of items required from me,
Last 3 yrs W2, last 3 yr taxes, all i-94 etc. -- No biggie since I have always been working for big company for past 10 yrs. till In switched to this smaller firm last yr.
Main list of docs required from company
1. Offer letter to me.
2. Client letters
3. Last 3 yrs quarterly wage reports with ALL employees SSNs, pays etc.!
4. Last 3 yrs Tax returns
5. Last 3 yrs W2s and W3s for ALL employees
How in the world is one supposed to provide all those ??!! I spoke to the employer, he's very busy (not desi but still a small firm with 1-2 million turnover and maybe 4-500,000 income..)
I can even change employer if needed, but I need to know if it's okay to cancel or withdraw this application of H1B and if that will cause USCIS to reopen my approved I140 or issue RFE for same list of docs at the time I file AC21.
What should I do if employer doesn't comply and just strings me along?
My H1B ends in April first week and Wife's H4 is long expired, We were planning only to keep my h1b as safty..

Nobody is policing here. This is to inspire some of those 8,394 "mature adults" who made no contribution yet love to surf this site. We are all starting to think that core group is wasting its time if only 212 members out of 8,606 (only 2.4 %) want to support this organization.
To start off with inspiring 'others', maybe you should note in your signature IF you have made a recurring donation, as a lot of other members have done.
I am sure that should work with people who can get 'inspired'. I dont think we need to worry about the others, since they will not contribute anyways.
I dont think we can achieve much by pointing fingers at people.

is that this bill will easily pass also the House. The problem is that the Speaker and the house leader has some agreement that the only bill that goes to the floor must have the majority of the republicans votes. That is the reality. I am positive that if nothing happen this year, it will happen next year if the house will go under the Dems.
The reality is that a little group of republicans (not even conservator, Mc Cain and Flakle are conservator and you see their opinion) are agianst any type of immigration.
on 630 KHOW (Capliss & Silverman).
Congressman Udall spoke at length how the conference committee is formed, how it operates and how decisions are reached.
One thing he said is particularly noteworthy. He said, he reads his fellow congressmen and the mood of the House, and at this moment there are 300 congressmen (out of a total of 525) willing to vote in favor of the senate version of the comprehensive immigration bill as it is.
As I said in my posts elsewhere in IV, let's keep our eyes and ears open for the opnions of representatives and follow up on that.

If you know about the Pilot Plus Program which is in effect in TSC I believe, you'll know what I mean. It just states that USCIS will process concurrently filed cases together to minimize time to process and achieve efficiency (non-concurrent filings not affected). Hence, only those 485s that fall in the current category get their 140 and 485s processed. Now that EB3 is U - there's no way they'll touch those concurrent cases.
In addition, I've also heard people talk about Ohata Memo - which says the same thing as Pilot Plus Program.
My point is not TSC or NSC - my point is we all sufferers should now unite and create pressure. I cant do alone , you cant do alone.
How do you want to contact AILA - why they should suddenly listen to a bunch of 10 stray immigrants like you , me ??
One thing i dont follow in your post how EB3 becoming U affect Processing times of I-140 ? I-140 doesn't depend on "Country of Origin" or "Retrogression".
Let me know !

but they choose to goto India mainly becuase of uncertain GC process
I myself have a good offer from my company which I am pondering on, I am stuck here for a while to finish my masters
if I go back to India, it could be that I might taking many more jobs, as I need to train and build a team in India and replace my team here
oh well, I am sure there are stories similar to this we got to find it, we need to show losing one skilled labor could also mean losing many more

When I check onlin Status of my AP, I see it says "The document has been mailed on Sep 10th". In reality, I got the AP in mail on Sep 19th. The envelope was postmarked on Sep 17th.
My understanding is that the approved documents go to the mail room. It may wait in the mailroom till someone puts it in an envelope and add postage on it. I guess they are mailing thousands of envelopes everyday, so it may take some time at the mailing room.

I agree. Aware members need to inform ignorant members obsessed with notices on other threads and stop those therads NOW. We have tolerated such threads enough. I am not joking, you will see from today new threads of EAD and AP trackers for the next 6 months. So let us all nip this in the bud in the interest of this organization. What do you think?
JanakP,
It's not a tracker and I'm not tracking or looking for my receipt notices to come from USCIS or my checks to be cashed or anything like that.
My notices have already arrived and my lawyer and employer are refusing to give them to me. I have foreign travel planned in October and I might be looking to change employer soon. My question was whether I can invoke AC21 without having the physical receipt notices.
Would be helpful if someone knows for sure.
Again, please go back and see this is not a tracker thread.
thanks for your valuable input.

My 485 was apporved in July 2010 and have not recieved the card yet. I have contacted with couple of Service Request for non-delivery of permanent cards. First reply from USCIS was that my case was waiting for finger printing information from my local USICS was backlogged for appointments. So, I have told to wait for 60 days for either FP notice or physical green card. After 60 days, I have called them and another service request was created and the reply was completely irrelavant as they says my address was updated for my query about non-delivery of GC.
Is there any other escalation request that I can made for deliveriy the GC or the FP notice? whenever I called the USICS are creating the SR and have to wait for answers like above.
I have recieved the 485 approval notices (for both of us) on July itself but waiting for cards now. Are anyone with the same boat ? Or Is the unusual case?
Thanks
Rama
Plz update your profile like what is ur PD etc and which service center is this?

Hello,
So yesterday (Saturday) was another surprize, a pleasant one again! I got a call from the same IO who told me that he got all the documents that I had sent and has cleared my case for approval, but now my fingerprints have expired.
He asked if I could come right away to his office and he could give me an instant fingerprinting appointment in the nearby INS office. When I told him that I'm currently out of country on business trip and won't be back in US till April, he said he will send me an appointment near April 15th.
I thanked him for his follow-up and he said he was just doing his job. I know this might be an exception than a rule, but just wanted to acknowledge this particular IO and hope there are more like him.

Few years ago, USCIS did approved EB2 with 3 year degrees.
But now they are very strict. They are refering into EDGE (Electronic Database for Global Education) database, created by American Association of Collegiate Registars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) which didn't equate 3 year Indian degree with US equivalent bachelors.
Check thier website www.aacrao.org
There might be very few cases 3 years degree approved in EB2 category. Try in EB3.
If you don't care about money try one application in EB3 then try to port it to EB2.

It's hard to believe that US economy will go down if they make some tough rules around H1 B visas or worse cancel H1 B program. I means, we can argue that it might create shortage for skilled works but if US really need some skilled workers, they can get it any time ( Like straight green cards for nurses etc). it�s few trillion dollars economy which won�t go down just because of H1-B visas holders.
It is not that hard to imagine at all.
500K h1b holders having $60K jobs (on average) means $30 billion to the US economy. That is only .002% of US GDP but that is still a *lot* of money.
Remember the Swift meat packing plant raids. They cost Swift $45-50M they claim. That is greater than the wages of the workers rounded up. Probably around double. If IBM started feeling that hurt, they'd be summoning their representatives to their offices.
