I see an update on jan 24 on this bill to grant 55000 visas for advance degree holders from DV lottery. Does this mean progress? Rest of the immigration bills never make it to the sub committee.
Jan 5th Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Jan 24th Referred to the Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement
Interesting...looks like this bill is moving faster than we'd think...it would be interesting to see where it ends up. Also, it appears that this bill does not talk about giving the DV visas to existing EB-X categories but instead to create a new EB category for STEM graduates...not sure, but that's what it sounds like.

I don't know how much time you took to complete AMIE.
Longer is better in this case.
I finished my AMIE in three years and I am in trouble.
If you took four or more, then you are lucky.
May be you can request a letter from IE, Calcutta mentioning the timeframe you took to finish AMIE.
That helps to support AMIE is a four years degree.
Regarding MTR, may be you can tell your attorney that similar AMIE applicants got I-140 approvals and your bad luch that it got stuck.
If your ed eval says you have bachelors, then you can tell your attorney that you have the qualification and you want try one more time.
My personal recommendation is go for another new labor with EB3 and draft it accoring to your qualifications.
Once the I-140 is rejected, then it is a bad remark.
All next I-140's will be linked and tracked. So it is difficult to convince USCIS that you have bachelors. Even though you go for MTR, you can buy time and it is hard to get positive results from USCIS. This is all my guess.
It is always better to go for EB3 new labor as you have some time.
Thanks and all the best.
Here are the details of my case:
Hi All �
Please I need some help urgently!!! Here is what I am going through �� My I-140 got denied on Aug 28, 2008.
My education is 10+2, 3 years diploma in engineering, AMIE in Mechanical Engineering and 2 years PGDIE (Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering). I am working with the largest enterprise software company and hence a big law firm as well. I have total 15 years of experience (12 years after AMIE, 10 years after PGDIE).
In my labor it�s clearly stated that the bachelor equivalent is needed.
Labor Priority date: 5/10/2007
8/7/2007 I-140 petition filed for EB2.
8/7/2007 Adjustment of Status applications filed.
8/7/2007 EAD application filed.
8/7/2007 Advance Parole application filed.
9/25/2007 USCIS Receipt Notice received.
10/23/2007 EAD approved and valid till Oct 2008.
6/20/2008 EAD renewal application filed.
Not sure when my lawyer got request for REF. However, I was asked to get more detailed information like transcripts / mark sheets with regards to AMIE. I submitted whatever my lawyer asked for.
In the mean while, my wife got a job. I asked my lawyer if it�s okay for my wife to start working and they said yes she can and there will not be any issue her visa status. My wife was on H 4.
7/1/2008 RFE Submitted
08/28/2008 I-140 / I-485 got denied
I still have valid H1.
I-94 Expiration: 4/10/2009
Estimated Final I-94 Expiration: 11/25/2011
My questions are �
Is there a known case of guy with AMIE got it through EB2? If so what needs to be done?
How do I convince my attorney that we should go ahead and file the MTR.
Please help!!!
Thanks

As far as i know-----
Answer to Q#10 :
Country Of Birth drives priority date and NOT Naturalized Citizenship.
So, if you were born in India then your priority date goes by India PD no matter what citizenship you currently have.
Thanks,
Krishna

... Although, USCIS will not give you a 3 year H1B extension because you have already filed AOS.
....
not true. Irrespective of whether your 485 is filed or not, if your PD is not current, you can get a 3 year extension of your H1 if your I-140 is filed.
Saying this based on personal experience, and this has also been clarified by USCIS in its FAQ. Your attorney needs to mention that and ask for 3 years when the extension request is made. If they request one, they'll get one.

My imagination seems unrealistic so now I thing it would be better If USCIS can finish all 485 receipts first and then start premium processing for EAD.

I Renewed mine last month.I took only normal size photo.I went directly.if u can get into the counter before 12 then u can get same day delivery in the evening else u can ask them to send thr express mail.I was little late because of traffic got my chance only after lunch so ask them to mail and got within 2days.NY consulate says one yr i think
Hello All -
I am planning to get my PP renewed at the NY consulate and had a couple of questions and I was hoping someone could shed some light on them.
i) The DC website states that one can *only* apply 6 months before expiration date but the NY website does not? Mine is going to expire in ~8 months. Anyone know if it is 6 mo across all consulates?
ii) They have it in big red font that the photograph should be 3.5 cm * 3.5 cm, the US standard PP size is 50 mm * 50 mm .. any ideas where I can get them done in the right dimension?
iii) If applied in person do they issue the PP the same evening?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their experience esp. at the NY consulate

After listening to both the shows, this week as well as last week, I am wondering if it was worth the effort for IV to participate in Debo Kotun's show. Here is my personal comments about the participants and the shows.
Debo Kutan: He did a pathetic job in moderating the shows. He not only spent about 25 minutes talking about his future shows(prior to beginning of today's show), but also repeating the same information from last week and pretty much asking the same questions. He was more interested in talking about his immigration decades ago and how he got his GC in one day, blah blah blah...Also, he mentioned that he was going to get Sen Kennedy & Sen Brownback to participate in today's show..but that was probably some publicity talk to draw more listener's to his show.He repeatedly questioned us to go back to our countries and solve our own problems and as well as theirs rather than trying to understand the root cause of the current situation. He turned out to be very ignorant of the immigration woes and did not seem like he had done any research prior to conducting his shows.
Swadha: She did a good job of explaining her situation and the difficulties she was facing due to the retrogression despite her excellent credentials and qualifications. Thanks to Swadha for her efforts in explaining her current situation due to retrogression.
Carl Shusterman: As popular,qualified and expert he is in the field of immigration, he just turned out to be very ignorant of the ground reality. I was as surprised as Swadha, when he mentioned that people with advanced degrees can get their GC's in a year. Despite having 2 advanced degree's I am still waiting for more than 3 years to be able to apply for I-485. The people most affected by this retrogression are citizens of India and China, not someone from Monaco or Namibia. He was more interested in promoting his Immigration firm and his website. Wish he had been more vocal in explaining the broken immigration system, rather than gaining some publicity for his firm.
Stuart Anderson: He did an excellent job explaining his research studies and how the current immigration laws are affecting the economy and its long term impact, if the immigration system is not rectified soon. Thanks to Stuart for his expert comments and explaining our situation in a wonderful manner.
Rajeev Khanna: He did a good job in the last weeks show, explaining our situation and the broken immigration system. Unfortunately, due to Mr. Kutan's terrible job of moderating, he did not provide much opportunity for Rajeev to speak this week. Thanks to Rajeev for fighting for our cause.
Aman Kapoor: He did a commendable job last week, explaining about IV and its efforts. But due to lack of Mr. Kutans moderating skills, he did not get much time to talk today. Thanks to Aman for organizing and providing an opportunity for IV to discuss about the legal angle of immigration reforms and the difficulties faced by people like us.
Jay Pradhan: Due to technical difficulties, Mr. Kutan could not include him in last week's program, but he did provide him an opportunity this week and explain his case. Jay did an excellent work explaining his situation, current backlogs and also answering some of Mr. Kutan's questions in a very logical manner, like the way only he can do. I wish Mr. Kutan had given more opportunity for Jay to talk and explain the broken immigration system. Excellent job Jay. Hope you get more opportunities like these to discuss about our situation and shed more light to the general public.
Overall, it was some decent publicity for the problems faced by legal immigrant community, though I wonder if it was worth the efforts due to the pathetic job of Mr. Debo Kutan. Hope we can get to participate on more knowledgable/popular talk shows and showcase our problems.

If you are on H1 and switch to another H1- you do not need to worry about Cap
If you are on H1 and switch to EAD- you have relinquished your H1.Whenever you wish to resume your H1- at that time you will go against the Cap.
Hope this clarifies
What about if one comes back on AP and hence has to use EAD but also has a valid H1 approval ( but no stamping in the passport ) . Can they go back and use that H1 approval for stamping and come back on H1 ? They are still working for the same company which sponsered the H1 and the GC

You are correct but I think I am not sure if one can change employer (H1B Transfer) during that 3 Year extended H1B period after 485 denial.
You are right. Thanks for pointing it out.
I missed change when I mentioned new/extension of H-1B. The statement should have been
One can work on current H-1B (irrespective on basis it was approved), until the H-1B petition is revoked or canceled or expired. However, beneficiary is not eligible for new/change/extension of H-1B status after I-485 denial
.

Hi!
My lawyer filed my application in Nebraska on July 2 ( it should have been filed in Texas). Probably it will get transfered to Texas?
But I have not recieved any updates on my case
- no checks cashed
- no reciepts issued.
The USCIS asks me to wait for 3 months ( till Oct 2) to help in any way.
Is any one in similar situation. Is this normal?

Why don't you ask your parents or some one who can help you to check with Registrar if they can apply on your behalf if you give power of attorney?I think this is the first thing you need to do if not yet.
If that is possible they can provide copies of your passport, marriage photos.
Hello -
As a Primary Applicant my GC was approved (EB-1) but for my wife's application I got an RFE. RFE - USCIS is asking for a VALID wedding certificate showing proof of a hindu wedding under hindu act (dont ask what I was doing or what my lawyer was doing while submitting 485)
Now I have about 28 days (total is 30) to respond to it. I have not rcvd. my GC but it has been approved and has been sent to production. My lawyer told me that as my GC has been approved my VISA is not good anymore. My wife was on dependent visa and so is my kid.
Now as my GC got approved.......my visa got cancelled...........my wife's & kids visa is invalid.............and we did not file for Advance Parole so we cant travel. On top of all this we dont have a wedding certificate.
Any suggestion to address this situation? I cant get a certificate without going back to India and I cant leave the country as If I do so I wont get to enter the country again. Even if somehow (on some legal basis) I can re enter I dont think my wife and kid will be able to re enter US.
If I dont produce evidence then my wife's application will be rejected putting her out of status.............gosh what a mess.....
ANY SUGGESTIONS FROM ANYONE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. Murali please respond with any possibility which I can explore upon.
Thanks
