I was just quoting that there may be legitimate reasons but this is not a good reason...
Fully aware this is not the right time to correct eachother, but their is something in me that forces me to dis-approve your comment on " ... legitimate cause for sucide". I hope you will take it in friendly spirit.
We all are fighting our battles on all levels in all the different ways ...be it financial, social, family or professional. And in some of these we will win and inothers we shall lose, if not have. And it might be that mental illness drove this young man into such desperate direction, but little did he realize the consequences of his near-sightedness. No matter how depressing and gloomy it may appear, we should not forget that tommorow can be better. Life is a cherished previliage given to us and we should put to it's best intended use as per God's will.
So let's be brave and encourage eachother so that no-one else show up on news in manner the departed souls. My deep sympathys to those affected by this tradegy and apologizes for any un-wonted offence.

All I did was call the Customs and Border Patrol office, explained my situation, and they transferred me to the appropriate officer who handled such issues. They just seemed to know what needed to be done.
Don't know if this helps but - I did mention clearly when explaining the situation that "a mistake was made by the CPB officer on the I-94" during my last entry.
I am not a lawyer, so I will not comment on the status question.
Good luck.

I am in the same situation right now, called both SFO and SJC airports and they seem to indicate they do not know anything about it. DVB how did you handle it ? Also, will it affect my status being on expired I-94 ?

Basically to retain the PD you should have the copy of the I-140 approved and you could retain the PD. Having said that, different lawyers have different interpretations when you switch jobs and retain the PD. Basicallly some lawyers say you could retain the PD even if your old employer uses it for another person after revoking yours, while others say you can't retain PD if your old employer revokes your I-140. However if your old employer willn't revoke your I-140 then you could definetely port your PD with your new employer. If you employer is hesitant to give, you could try asking him other ways if possible for H1B stamping etc.

Please, anyone??
As long as she is in status, she can apply for a visa change. What is her status on the day she files for H1 ? If it is legal (H4 has not expired et al) , things should be fine.

My 6th year H1B is expiring on April 28, 2008. I applied labor through PERM on October 2, 2007. I got the audit letter on December 3, 07. This audit letter does not state anything about the issue of the audit letter. However, the sentence �The job duties and/ or requirements are beyond those defined for the job by SOC/ O*Net code an Occupation Title provided by the State Workforce Agency� is highlighted in this letter. The letter also request for Business Necessity Letter and Recruitment Report. My case is the EB2 case for a Project Manager position with a minimum of 2 years working experience. A couple of programs and knowledge in the field are also required for this position. At the recruitment times, there are no applicants applied to this position. The company has approximately 16 employees including me.
I�m very confused and not sure what to do because my lawyer refused to answer any question. In my case that the Labor Certification is still pending (under audit) and my H1B is expiring in April, I wonder if I should start taking vacation now or go to work in another country for approximately 6-7 months and come back later to use the rest of my H1B until October 2, 08 to meet 365 days period? After October 2, 08, I can then start filing the H1B Extension for 1 year. Or should I wait until my I-140 approved and come back around October 2, 08 and do the H1B Extension for another 3 years? Or should I stay in US until April, 08 and take vacation until October, 08 and then comeback around October, 08 to file H1B extension? Also, do I still have to be employ full time with my current employer during this whole period? Can the job only be part time? Also, do I have to get pay the whole time from my current US employer during this whole period? Thank you very much for your help.
Most of the EB2 in my company in last few month are under audit at present. What is going on?

Sub: Legal Immigration and CIR
Body:
I am here to talk about LEGAL immigration. In all the noise about illegal immigration and their path to legalization a very important subject is lost and that is LEGAL immigration, and delays and problems they are facing.
I came to US in 2000 with a perfect business plan and dream to start a company and spread prosperity, but the path I had to take was H1B visa. After coming here my last 9 years have been spent on getting Green Card ( I have recently filed for my 10th year H1B Extension), and my GC application with a priority date of 2003 March is still waiting in Backlog.
While there is some opposition for illegal immigration more than 90% of people I meet support the improvement in process for LEGAL immigrants. I hope in this CIR while looking at illegal immigration you pay special attention to LEGAL immigration.
Together we can build a happy and prosperous America for future generations.
Sincerely

Thank u so much for the info you've collected. In my case, PP expiry is sometime in August. So no issues with that. And I assume the I-94 date issue is applicable only if I used the AP instead of AVR while coming back.
And yes, as per Murthy's site, I'd be carrying the telegram with me to show the IO if needed. And yes...you are right. Its only good NOT to lie to the IO at the POE and promptly tell him that I had been to Canada for landing purpose. But the negative side to this would be a possible RFE on the pending 485 as per this link: http://murthyforum.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1024039761&f=3274000912&m=8451014631&showpollresults=Y
After analysing the situation on that link, I think its wise NOT to LAND in Canada for a PR status while 485 is pending although some people can get lucky if the IO doesn't notice. Some IOs (who are good :)) might even not make an entry on your record even after knowing that you are back from Canada after accepting PR which is another luck scenario. But in the worst case scenario, an RFE on 485 is definitely not a good sign even if there could be ways to get thru it by replying back with reason etc...Bottom line, the 485 adjudication can take a while and might even get rejected with this RFE what with all the stringent laws and scrutinization.
Thoughts appreciated...
If you go through the thread for I-485 RFE on Canadian PR it mentions that
“Service records shows that you filed canadian P.R after you submitted your application for P.R in US.”
As long as you have applied for Canadian PR before filing for US GC there shouldn’t be any problems. My best guess for the source of this RFE is the FBI finger printing submitted towards Canadian PR and not the IO at the POE.

USCIS is already aware of this. They have been notified through AILA and our letters are also working. IV has also been pushing for more broader AC21 regulations for a few months now.
Our request from IV is to keep sending the letters. Please send letters in thousands - not like 50 to 60 letters.
Everyone must take initiative and push other members. It is a very importasnt campaign.
It is very much possible that a lot of you may be a victim of AC21 denials. It is your call.
Please take responsibility and everyone must come forward and bring others also into this campaign.
This is encouraging. chandu, I read somewhere (mostly on murhty) that CIS will be publishing new AC21 soon and it is expected to be more stricter. Is this just the speculation or any other indications are received?? any idea? I am afraid that what will happen to people who already have used AC21 by following what currently exists???????

Thanks JSB, I will try getting Infopass although I have tried it earlier but to no use. They do not give any info excepting "wait for your priority date to become current"
bsbawa10. Hope your case gets attention. You have been around for a long time with Apr04 PD.
You might want to review section pertaining to determination of processing center in the I-485 Operating Procedures. There is a detailed protocol to determine this, and if they find it to be at wrong center, they transfer it to what they believe it should have been. There may be some ambiguous areas due to changes in jurisdictions by USCIS after your I-140 approval, modified process, or your moving from one state to another. In any case take an Infopass, and ask if you can provide additional information related with your case shuffling between centers. As you know, first hurdle to cross is to see that a center has accepted your case for processing. Best...

Hello.
I have the same problem.
My brother is a US citizen who has filed an I-130 for me and my family in May, 2008. We've traveled to the US on B1/B2 visas in February, 2009. The thing about it is that in the DS-156 form point "36. Has Anyone Ever Filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf?" we've answered "No". I've had no idea at that time that it was referring to the petition for alien relative. Anyways, we've returned back home in time.
The question is: "Is this possible to prove that I did'n know about the petition?" And how do I prove that the wrong answer is not "willfull misrepresentation of material fact"?

Your valuable input will be of great help. Please share your views.
Or is the act only for students of Illegal parents.
Thanks
My son and you are in the same boat. He came here 9 years ago went to middle/high school here. Now, he is in college and will turn 21. He will not get his greencard because he is here on H4 legally.
Isn't that a shame?

This is exactly what I said in my previous posts. EB2 India may become unavailable towards the end of September as most of the visas will be used in August itself and we will see a flood of approvals starting August 1st itself. I think most of the approvable cases are already processed by USCIS after it gave the data to DOS on July 8th. I think most of the straight forward and less complicated cases during 2004 - 2006 period will be approved soon.
I do not want to spoil the party fun but somewhere in my mind there is a lingering doubt. I read Ron Gotcher's post about August 2008 bulletin.
http://immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?p=20233#post20233
He says that Eb2 India will retrogress to 2003 or 2004.
This is my opinion. TSC 485 processing time is July 17,2008. NSC 485 processing cut off date is July 28th, 2008. I don't know if CSC is still processing 485 EB applications but CSC EB processing cut off date on its website is April 04, 2006. The priority date for June 2007 bulletin was April 1st2004.
Lot of big law firms filed 485's around August 1st because the date for filing 485's was extended to August 17th. So I think these 485's are still unadjudicated. Once they get adjudicated there would be retrogression. Analysts analyze. However the silver lining would be removal of concurrent processing of I-140 and I-485 which may give some additional EB 2 numbers next year.

that you will attend the DC rally... I won't tell you if I got the receipt notice;)
(I filed my AOS on July 2 at TSC)
TSC has officially progressed to 6/30 so the July filers should now start receiving their receipt notices! But the question is, what do we do after we get them, or in the worst case, if our AOS got rejected? There is nothing you or I can do at this time... the deadline to re-submit is over on August 17th.
The root cause of the whole problem is retrogression & country caps, and unless we speak up about it in one voice, no one will do anything to fix that root cause!
So keep looking at the road as you drive, but also take a moment to look beyond the next 1 mile... where there is a traffic jam in which you and I will get stuck for the next 5 to 10 years... unless we do something about it.. together!
So, please take a break from tracking receipts, and decide how long you are willing to renew EADs and worry about following the complex AC21 rules & regulations. If you are like me and not willing to do that forever, then make up your mind and attend the DC rally!
If you attend the rally, you can travel to DC for free/ a fraction of the cost, please look at these threads:
