ebizash,
If you did not file the AC21 paperwork, what triggered the RFE? Was it a new H-1B petition with the new company?
I was amazed when my HR called me today to let me know that they had no problem in signing the letter and immidiately after the call, faxed me the signed letter.
Thanks everyone for answering my questions on this post as well as via PM.
I can not access PayPal from work but will donate additional $50 to IV after I get back home.

Thats great! Congrats!! :) Are they charging $350 just for initial checkup or with shots, x-ray??
360 for initial checkup - without xray and shots
1 shot is around 60-90.00 depending on shots.
x-ray - 80.00

... Was your MS Certification in your country of birth or in USA? And if it is not in uSA did you get it evaluated in USA and have submitted evaluation cert copy along with your application?
all that stuff comes in at I-140 stage. During PERM/LC they dont care about his qualifications, its the job that is being certified.
See the audit questions again, all relate to justifications that the requirements are really needed for the job advertised. ie. when the job ad said MS+2 Years is needed, DOL wants to know why this job requires MS+2 Years of experience. His lawyer is right, a more conservative approach to job requirements (MS+0 or BS+5 for EB2 is much more easier to defend). As you increase the minimum job requirements, it reduces the pool of available candidates who can apply for the job. DOL wants to make sure the minimum requirements are really valid, and not set artificially high simply to reduce the pool of candidates.
Basically your LC sponsor needs to be able to justify all requirements posted for the job (education, experience, specific skills) else you can be in trouble.

This case is pending with AAO from Nov. 2009.
It will take 24 months to get a result.
Meanwhile he is going to start PERM in EB3.
Got RFE before the denial.
Replied with professor letter and premium evaluations ($750).
Still USCIS insist with EDGE database. It is private, no govt backing, but they are going by that findings.
Lawyer is hopeful for the result, he have 6 year college, they questioned about the 3 year degree, but the labor is for masters, He have masters (2 year) and total 4 year combined bachelors(3+1).
They no need to look the bachelors, when the education requirement is masters.
The evaluator give 20 US universities name which gives masters degree after 5 year course (5 year integrated degree).
Agree with what you pointed out but shouldn't the attorney know this?? If this cannot be apealed this individual has lost valuable time and money (attorney looses nothing). I am curious to know what the attorney says about this:mad:

The approval of h1 will not invalidate H4 visa. The usage of h1 visa invalidates H4 visa.
if you have h1 approved and don't join the company, then your h4 remains intact. Once you join a company on h1, you will fill out i-9 form, which informs the concerend authorities about your status change.
That's what I meant . Since he started usinlg the H1 his H4 visa was no longer valid . Doesn't that mean that if he goes back he will have to get some kind of visa stamped to come back ( either H4 or H1 ). Could someone throw more light on this situation.

Thank you all for providing some excellent information. Special thanks to members waitnwatch and fromnaija for providing Arizona specific information. I certainly think that I should take this further in light of all the new information. I even talked to my GC attorny and he also thinks that I should have have given resident status.
fromnaija,
The pdf file in your post indicates that you would qualify for in-state tuition if you have filed for GC. How does the university determine that you have filed for GC? After you have filed for labor or filed for 140 or only after filing of 485? Those 3 dates could be years apart and depending on how the university defines that you have filed for GC could determine the residency status. If you have any further information, please share.
waitnwatch,
Do you believe that Arizona Board of Regents is actually not abiding by the state statue "illegal immigration reform and immigrant responsibility act of 1996" ? I am trying to gather as many arguments as possible to support my case because after reading your post and few other posts, I am seriously considering filing an apeal and fight this unfair practice once and for all.

I visited my local USCIS office and the officer told me that they don't do I-94 updates and asked me to contact the CBP office. When I called them up to get an appointment, I got transferred to a lady who asked me the details. After listening to my case she said its perfectly okay and asked me to attach the new I-94 from the 797 to the passport. Is this true?
I am trying to get hold my lawyer but in vain. Please help!!!
The next time you enter the country the INS officer will stamp the new date of the I-94 to the passport.
You can also attach the new I-94 and keep the old one too.
Hope this helps!

Wata,
If I were you, I would rather wait atleast till Nov 2006 before converting I-140case to premium processing because as you said NSC is currently processing I-485 cases for Dec 2005 and it would take 5/6 months more from now to come to June/July 2006 to process I-485 at current pace. But Again this is my personal thought....
Moreover, in order to take advantage of AC21 portability you I-140/I-485 case has to be 6 months old. So getting I-140 approved through premium processing does no good as you would have to wait till Dec 2006 anyway for your I-140/I-485 case to become 6 months old.
Thanks,
Law Loving Alien

This signature waived is normal because of something having to do with when they scan the card, and if your signature is there, then it could cross the line where the machine scans your card. So I have heard from others online in these posts this is valid since August 1 FOR EVERYONE and your picture is there, so this is not an issue. What I am wondering about is why is this EAD only valid for one year when first it was valid for two years, why have they changed this? And if your i-485 green card case is pending, and you have gotten your i-765 EAD in your hand do they approve your i-485 green card fast? SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND

Thanks for the responses so far.
To the bro who suggested I rather stay here than go back..well I work as a consultant thro a vendor hence that is not an option (thanks to the new memo).
Given the market is so hot in India right now and here new policies are made to make our life tougher, only makes one's consideration to move back stronger.
I will call up SSN office today and check out how much more is remaining of the 40 Q for me...will try and do that.
On RONR, I will find out and post here when I have any confirmed updates - but one thing I know for sure is:
Tax year starts on april 1st in India. If one stays atleast six months starting that date, he is still considered NRI. Hence say if you deposit 40,000 USD in SBI on may 20th...and return after october 10th, you are okay. No tax in that year..but if you came back before the six month, then there is some tax that you have to pay.
NON - RESIDENT STATUS UNDER THE INCOME TAX / WEALTH TAX ACT:
Condition Status
1. He is not in India for 182 days or more during the relevant previous year. >> If yes, then he is a non-resident.
(so check the next condition.)
2. He is not in India for 60 days or more during the previous year and he is not in India for 365 days or more during the 4 years prior to the previous year. >> If yes, then he is a non-resident.
RESIDENT BUT NOT ORDINARILY RESIDENT (RNOR)
Condition
Status
1.
He is not a resident, as per the above provisions, for at least 9 out of 10 previous years prior to the previous year under consideration.
>>
If yes, he is RNOR
2.
His stay in India during the 7 previous year prior to the previous year under consideration should not be 730 days or more
>>
If yes, he is RNOR

My boss recently changed and the work environment is not good anymore (never imagined this would happen), I am in a constant pressure and no job security. It's a shocker in a fulltime state job.
We bought a house last year needless to say that the prices have fallen. We are now in a dazed state as we just realised we don't have any savings, whatever we had, we made bad choices - house, 2 cars (They looked good at that time though) and put about 10% on the house.
We were planning on to invest all our savings in the house as we recently paid off our two cars and no other debts. But after reading some posts here on the housing and investment market. I am not sure if I want to put everything in the house, having my job at risk and no GC yet.
Being a novice in fianancial matters, need advice.
Appreciate your thoughts on this.
Sorry to here the precarious condition you are living in. Try to be good to the person who is causing the pressure, cause most important of all right now is: You need the income. So, fighting with somebody is not a good idea and its going to hurt you, not the other person who is causing the pressure.
If the price of the house has fallen a lot, then its not a good idea to keep paying for the original price of the house. Talk to the bank, and ask what options you have.
Be prepared for the worst case scenario and start saving so that you have some buffer to make payments for at least 6 months, in case you lose your job.
my 2 cents.
