My perm was filed in May 2007 in EB2. Got RFE in July 2007. Replied within 2 weeks. No response since then.
Can I do anything from my side. Is there any way to contact/request DOL to inquire about the case.
They are aparently processing audit cases dated September / october 2007 so yours seems strange. I have no idea about how to contact the labor department. Hopefully some one who knows will point you in the right direction.

Some additional information. My wife's first semester will be Fall semester as H4 and spring as F1. She will graduate by the end of spring- i.e. May 2009.
Well most of the time classes you need are not offered in the summers, also as a International student you can take summer semester off, you legally have that right. Now don't pick classes in the summers, move it to the fall semester. Also
I checked with my counselor, if you are left with only once class, you can take it in the fall, all you would need to is, contact your counselor and let him take care of the paper work. in that cases you don't need to take 3 classes to maintain your F1status.
Good Luck

I am on F1 visa. I enrolled in one of the university. I don't attend university in person. I do attend classes online from another state. My question is that I am resident of which state ?? Will I be automatically resident of state where exactly my university is ? I know it is mandatory to attend classes in person on F1. Can you please advise ? How is residency considered ?
Thank you very much.

My PERM was filed and I got the following email from my lawyers
" Labor Certification by ABC ABC, Inc. on your behalf has been submitted via the Department of Labor�s (DOL) Permanent Online System as of the above date (April 1) . The application will be adjudicated by a National PERM Processing Center. As the DOL does not currently have a processing schedule for PERM applications, we are unable to predict how long processing will take. In the past, PERM applications have been adjudicated anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Unfortunately, there is currently no way for beneficiaries to check the status of the application. We will contact you as soon as we hear anything specific regarding your case. "
1. Is there any place where you can check the status ? Since I do not have any reference number, and from the text of the email, I doubt that.
2. I checked some forums and found that the average processing time is 60 days. Which processing center should I be looking for ? (I work at Oracle in SFO)

NumbersUSA obtained a summary of the "compromise" negotiated among Republicans Tuesday night. The language is theirs, not ours. We do not know how discussions between Republicans and Democrats have changed the plan, or if it is still a factor in the debate.
Hagel/Martinez Amendment
Background:
The Hagel/Martinez Substitute contains all the provisions of the Specter Amendment - including the border security, interior security and employer enforcement provisions from the Frist bill - but makes the following 3 changes:
1. It proposes an alternative to Title VI, Subtitle A of the Specter substitute (which deals with the illegal population living in the U.S.)
2. It temporarily increases the number of employment based green cards from 290,000 (as in the Specter Substitute) to 450,000. This increase from 290,000 to 450,000 would sunset after ten years.
3. It would give mid-term illegal immigrants (defined below) priority in applying for green cards over future immigrants entering as temporary workers.
The Hagel/Martinez Amendment is based on legislation (S.1919) introduced by Senator Hagel in October 2005.

Based on the information you have provided, I do not think there is any cause for you to be worried about being deported.
However, as an applicant for Naturalization, you have the burden to prove "good moral character". Usually, "good moral character" is assumed. But when there is a past criminal conviction, even a minor one such as yours, USCIS may deny the Naturalization application if there is no affirmative evidence of "reform" and current "good moral character".
So, in addition to disclosing the NY conviction, you should be prepared to submit documents showing that you are and for the past 4 years have been a person of "good moral character". Such documentation could include sworn statements from community or religious leader, employers, co-workers, and others.
If at all possible, you should find an experienced attorney to help you prepare these documents and accompany you to the Naturalization interview.

Get a "good" lawyer. Someone who knows which tax documents to submit, where you and your wife needs to sign and someone who checks your forms before sending them to USCIS.
If you post your location here you will get good references.

Indeed. 140s are getting a lot of RFEs nowadays and are once again taking nearly a year. It is a brave soul that will avail themselves of the AC21 180 portability provision without an approved 140 petition.
The main points are the following, if you get an RFE and it has anything to do with your employer eg. ability to pay etc, can you count on them to send in that paperwork. If your employer withdraws the 140 application then you are left without a plank to stand on for your 485 as well.
Basically you are on very thin ice if you invoke AC21 absent an approved 140. If you are contemplating such a move, you should atleast consider doing it on a H1b visa as back up.
These are my views, please consult an attorney.

You should be good as long as the existing Visa is valid when you reenter. Even though the existing Visa stamping is tied to your previous employer, You do NOT have to go for Stamping just because you changed the employer and got the new H1. The IO at Port Of Entry might ask about your current employer and you should mention your new Employer and show the new H1B approval at at that time.
I hope this helps. Good Luck & Welcome Back!!!
Thanks.

I have my H1B stamped visa from company A,and is valid till September 2010.I came to India in August 2009 and planning to come back to US in the next month.
Meanwhile i have filed for a H1B tranfer to company B in April'2010 and it was approved in last week.
My question is can i come back to US on my stamped visa from Company A.Is that still valid even after my transfer was approved to Company B ?.
Do i have any problems at port of entry to us ?.
Or do i need to go for H1B stamping for Company B.
please tell me what are my options.any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I came to the USA on F-1 student visa which is expired on 2005. Currently I have H1B status (I-797 form) (and NOT a stamped visa) and I-94 attached to the I-797 form.
My question is that. Can I visit Canada for less than 30 days and coming back without the need to get a visa (automatic visa re-validation) OR I have to get a visa?
I am worried because I never have a stamped H1B visa on my passoprt. Only H1B status + I94 which are not attached to the passoprt?
I need your help and how can I make sure as I do not want to lose my job.
Thank you,
John
I think you will need a Visa.
I remember a bulletin from Murthy.com a few months back mentioning a rule where people going for first time H1 B stamping (from F1, H4) cannot get their H1 stamped in Mexico and the rule was soon to be followed in Canada as well. Please search the Murthy.com site for more information on this but i would advice going to home country.
Other members - please let us know if you are better informed.

If your job location has changed from State 'S1' to State 'S2', your labor petition filed from Company 'A' is invalid. You cannot modify your 140 in the sense of changing job location from one state to another. Since your 140 is pending for a good period of time, here is what you can do :-
i) Get it converted to premium as suggested above and you'll know whether it is approved or not in 15 days.
If it is approved, you can file 485 based on it but you may have issues in the future ( possible but unknown if it will be caught at 485 stage )
If it is denied, you are in a soup as without an approved 140, you cannot port your PD.
Whatever you do, dont move onto EAD and work on EAD until your 140 is approved.

Hi,
MY labor says that the candidate needs atleast 1 year exp as a Software Engineer. Your labor says at least 1 year exp
But my experience letter says that I have 2 years of experience as a Senior Software Engineer. You have 2 years exp. then you are good to go :-)
Would that be ok ? (Actually I was a software engg before and got promoted to Senior Software Eng later.)

IF he transfers to a function that is significantly different than his approved labor certification he may have to restart his GC application by filing a new LC application. However, since GC is for future job and if his employer will agree for him to go back to his previous practice then he may continue with current GC process and change when 485 is approved.
All,
My friend works as an internal auditor within a big 4 acccounting firm. His practice is doing quite badly. As there are tons of different practices within this firm, he is thinking about transferring. But his PERM was filed for the internal audit manager position and his I-140 has alreday been approved. If he transfers to a function unrelated to internal audit within his firm (e.g. external audit, tax, fraud, etc.), would there be a problem?
Can anyone here provide some guidance or point him to the right discussion thread?
Thanks!!!

I think we need reform. Current H1B system is employer dependant and make us slave. There should be more breathing space.
Something like HSMP should come. In particular, the Fresh gradutes should be allowed to start their career in a honest way, not with the manipulted resumes designed/manufactured by almighty desi consultants.

Well I'm not sure about datalists but assuming you have edited the object in memory the binding should reflect the edits. If not I usually just write a Requery method which queries the data source again and rebinds the offending control
You might want to have a look at CSLA - it's a library for maniuplation of business objects supporting parent/child collection heirarchies, error providing, multiple undo levels etc etc - it certainly speeds up creating a business app around here. We usually combine it with CSLAGen which is a template generator based on CodeSmith which generates CSLA objects for you from a database schema - all you need to do is write the sprocs which get/update/delete the data and then it does the rest (you might tweak it a little here and there).
It's got a bit of a learning curve but once you know what you are doing it's invaluable! That would solve your refresh issues :)

Hi, I have an approved I 140 (EB3) and my priority date is Nov 2007. I have a Canadian PR and my employer has agreed to let me work from our Canada Office. My question is, what should I do when/if my priority date becomes current while we are in Canada ? Should we come back to USA on visitors visa and apply for AOS or should be go for Consular Processing ? What are the pros and cons of each approach ?
