I think we physically need to go to the adjudication center...wait at the gate do a bhuk hartaal or the sort to get our cases cleared.
I am pretty positive that SR/Infopass/Congressman/Senator are coincidences....it should not work all the time otherwise you and I would have been approved too...
I am told different things everytime I call them .....
It is hopeless since I am sure the October bulletin will put the EB-2I for November to U or early 2000s as there are hardly any visa numbers per the country cap quota...and then you need to wait till Sept 2010 for any luck.....

There is a little chance if you had 3+2 years degree and the labor was looking for Bachelor’s and would accept equalent foreign degree as evaluated by reputed firm. I believe your diploma was the hurdle.
It was PGDST from NCST, Mumbai and will all due respect to other institutes, this is one of the toughest, intense and testing PG courses in Software in Mumbai.

Not an amended H1. It is an H1B extension for 3 years after I140.
The question is if you have this approval in your hand (whose start date is after your current visa validity) and you return to the country within your visa validity, will the official have I-94 valid till the end of the new approval or till the date your current visa is valid?
According to "Last Action" Rule of USCIS, there is a possibility that your H1B extention approval becomes invalid because the POE gave validity till your visa end.
Seems all so screwed up. But red-tape rules are never white and black.
http://www.murthy.com/news/UDnjsem.html
There is mention of Last Action Rule.
There are 2 approaches for this .
1. If you have a valid Visa(plan to get Valid Visa) for U.S . you can go abroad and then come back with I-94. -- This is Risky since it Border Patrol
which comes into picture and may or may not be positive.
2. You can file for amended H1.(It is still called amended H1. Amendment is to the I-94 dates). This is processed by INS . You still need to keep your fingers crossed but INS has been postive in almost all cases.

frankly this is a drop in the ocean.
we all know that the process is broken. we all know that we face long years of waiting because of retrogression. ask BEC filers how bad things can become suddenly. ask people whose name checks have not cleared in 3 years.
we have our choices. we can wring our hands about who gets receipt notices first and whose ead comes faster. or we can try to be the grassroots organization that immigration voice really is (rather than exclusively an info forum for tracking dates) and stand up to petition for reform
these are just today's irritants. with 1 million applications at various places in the line, there will be many more tomorrow.
please choose wisely.

Gurus,
Here is my situation:
I-140 approved - PD: May '06
I-485 filed - July 30 '07 (India)
EAD cards - Received
APs - Received
Due to a slowdown in their business, my employer is laying me off in Dec '07. I'm still short of 1 month to complete my 180 days of I-485 filling. However, they said they will not withdraw my I-140 and, to help me, will in fact keep me on their payroll until Jan '08, with my Jan '08 salary as my severance and my official status as on "paid leave". So far, so good.
I also have a job offer, and my new employer wants me to join them in Dec '07, on EAD. My question is: Can I be on officially on the payroll of two companies simultaneously on H-1B and/or EAD? If yes, do I need to inform the USCIS of my status (new employer; AC21)? My other option is to say No to the new (attractive) job offer (or to try to convince them to wait until Feb '08, which they'll likely not agree to), and and take up another job in Feb '08, on EAD / H-1B transfer, using AC21. Please advise whether I'm fine with using the first option!!
you can be on the payroll of 2 companies on H1 if the H1 petition says that its for concurrent employment. On EAD no such issues, you simply sign new I-9 forms with both employers.
If you are moving to EAD, you can start with second employer right now. If you are going to stick to H1 for some reason, then delay joining the new one by just a few weeks. By the time they file the H1 transfer and the approval comes through, your 180 days will be done or nearly done and you are all set. Its nice that your current employer is helping you out through the 180 days.

We applied for H1B transfer on Jan/02/09 (California Service Center - Premimum) and attached pay stub and employement offer letter. First time we did not attach any contract details.
We got an RFE on Jan/09/09, Basically they wanted to know whether i am working on project currently. They are asking to submit contract agreements, client details (client letter - not sure it is must or not).
There are 2 layers between client and my employer and could not get client letter. However, I can provide the following docs,
1. Contract Agreement Between Employer and First Layer
2. Contract Agreement Between First and Primary Vendor
3. Letter from Primary Vendor (stating that i am working their client project).
4. Primary Vendor Invoices to Client
5. Time Sheet (Client approval)
6. Access Card
7. Work site Photo
8. Copy of Client WO (end date is 11/21/2008) - client with PO amount and end date is doest not matter... (i am not sure how is uscis will take it).
I could not able to client letter due to their policy. What do you guys think on this case approval. Any reply is highly appriciated..
thanks

The following has been extracted from H1-B is still valid with AP entry US? - Yahoo! Answers (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071214234832AA7fOR3)
Normally, an alien who has filed for Adjustment of Status in the US must apply for Advanced Parole and use the Advanced Parole to come back to the US in order to keep his / her Adjustment of Status application pending.
H-1 and L-1 holders are the only exceptions to this rule.
Aliens in H-1B status who have a pending Adjustment of Status application do not need to apply for Advance Parole to go abroad if they fulfill certain conditions. As long as the H-1 B visa holder maintains his/her H-1 B status before leaving the U.S., he/she may apply for an H-1B visa to re-enter the U.S. to work for his / her H-1B sponsoring employer after his/her travel abroad.
When he/she comes back with a valid H-1B visa to continue to work for his/her H-1B sponsoring employer, he/she does not need to be paroled. Rather he/she can be admitted under H 1B status as long as they're still employed by the H-1B petitioner.
If they choose to be paroled, then they are not H-1B anymore, and if they had dependents, those dependents cannot be H-4's anymore. It's your choice. Use the valid visa if you're still with the petitioner or use the parole. If you are paroled into the U.S., you will need an EAD to work.

Looks like it is the photos. I got the RFE after opening a Service Request and they have asked for photos. Morons. They could have made it clear in the instructions to send photos.
It doesn't happen to everyone. A couple of my friends got the ead without sending the photos. It all depends on who processes your application. If he is an ass, you are in trouble.
So, better send the pictures if you are planning to e-file.
I have sent the photos and now have to wait for another 45 days. Hopefully a smart guy who knows what he is doing will process it this time.
GCplease,
Have you received your EAD? if so how many days it took after responding to RFE?
Thanks

Hello :
My EAD is valid till August 10, 2010. This is my second EAD. 1st filed with I-485 in 2007 and second renewed in 2008.
First Renewal Attempt :
I therefore sent my papers to my employer in early April 2010 (120 days in advance). My employer to 10 days to file with USCIS (Snail Mail - Phoenix Lockbox). Then USCIS took another 30 days to look at my papers. They rejected it. Reason :
The check amount is incorrect, or has not been provided. Please review the Form Instructions for fee information. Please resubmit the application/petition package with the appropriate fees to the USCIS address listed on the bottom of this notice.
The eligibility code you provide on your I-765 requires proof that an I-485 has been submitted. Please resubmit your Form I-765 with a copy of your Form I-485 receipt notice (I-797).
Turns out my employer did provide checks were provided in the correct amount but the name on the check was incorrect "USCIS Vermont Office"...Go figure.
Further, I had never received my I-485 receipt notice in mail (filed when the flood gates opened in July/August 2007). I had however received my ASC FP notice and had used it in my previous EAD renewal in 2008. I had sent in a copy of this with my paperwork. That did not seem to have worked. So I called USCIS NSC and they informed me that I need to attach a cover letter with my application explaining that I did not receive the I-797 for the I-485.
Second Renewal Attempt :
So this time, I filed my application to the Phoenix Lockbox myself via snail mail (never efiled so thought why take a chance). I sent my own checks payable to "US Department Of Homeland Security" as mentioned in the I-765 instructions. I also included a cover letter about my missing I-485 receipt notice and sent in the I-485 ASC FP notice copy along with a printout of the pending I-485 from USCIS website.
This new app reached USCIS on June 1, 2010.
It got rejected again and reached me yesterday on June 19, 2010. Reasons...Exactly the same as before.
Needless to say, I was confused, frustrated, angry, sad...and everything in between.
Starting Third Attempt :
Given that only 50 days are left for my current EAD to expire. I e-Filed again yesterday (June 20 2010) hoping that by doing so, I will bypass the Phoenix Lockbox and will avoid the reason for rejection regarding the check.
I will be mailing my supporting documents tomorrow. They will reach USCIS on June 22 2010. The only thing/s addtional that I am sending in now are...
a) The top tear-off from the original EAD mailer (had forgotten to send it in last two times as I thought it was not necessary)
b) A request for correction on the eFiled EAD as I mentioned "Country Of Citizenship" as "USA" instead of "India" (Thanks to my frustrated mood and the poor usability of the I-765 online form).
Request advice...
I know that I will have to stop working on August 11 2010 and I can't earn for as long as I don't have a valid EAD in my hand. I also know that it does not affect my Green Card I-485 app as long as I don't work without and EAD.
So what should I do from here on? Should I wait...I still have 50 days to hope to get my renewed EAD in. Should I call USCIS and request expedited processing of my case...but I haven't even received my receipt notices yet. Should I book and INFOPASS appt...but INFOPASS appointments for I-765 are only issued if it has been more than 90 days since the application was filed?
I will really appreciate any comments/suggestion regarding my case.

Mani, the advise given to you is to be on the safe side. Do not risk your GC process for just a few weeks of inconvenience.
Anyone EB AOS applicant can look for a job/take job BEFORE 180 days however you run a risk of your I-140 being revoked by the previous employer and USCIS will automatically deny your petition. If you are sure that the current employer will not revoke the I-140 petition, then you can do it before 180 days.
However, make sure that you inform USCIS that you're invoking AC21 and changing employer. You need to do that AFTER 180 days.
