Please help me. There is no LUD on my status online. I had my finger printing done on sept 19. CODE 3. For both my husband and me!! I don't see any updates on the status online. Can someone tell me what I should do? FBI says they sent the prints the same day!!!!
Am I stuck in Name check already?? How do you know this?????
I called customer care USCIS, they say they don't have information regarding finger prints and you don't see updates regarding fingerprinting online. Is this true?
PLEASE HELP. YOUR ADVICE WILL BE VALUABLE TO ME IMMENSELY
OK. If you read my posts I'm in the same boat, no LUD after FP. I called FBI finger print number and verified the results were sent to USCIS the same day. I didn't call USCIS. I was also worried like you about getting stuck in Name check. I joined the Yahoo Name check group and one kind individual answered my question (thanks John). See below.
FP and namecheck are independent.
a)FP checks
your fingerprints against FBI fingerprint
databases and the result comes back within couple
of days (or maybe even one day).
b)fbi namecheck
compares all combinations of your name
against FBI national namecheck program database
(86 million records).
This one comes back faster (they say less
than 6 months) if there are
no hits , but if there is some hit ....then
human person needs to clear all hits by requesting
copy of the paper documents from any /all
of the 250 FBI offices across USA . So this
is time consuming process and some of us have
been waiting for over one year , two years , three
years etc.
the LUD thing has no significance. you cannot
interpret much from lud and it causes
unnecessary anxiety . some people don't get any
luds from receipt date until approval.
try a service request first to find out if your
namecheck is pending .if you get a letter saying
"processing of your 485 is delayed because
investigation into your background remains open"
or something like that , then it means the namecheck
could be pending !

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Is LLC corp employer eligible to do H-1 transfer? I have an American citizen friend who has a LLC corp and work as an independent contractor. Can he file for my H-1 transfer and can I work for him?
His annual income is about 150 to 200K. I think he takes about 100K as salary and rest as company profit.
I have my 140 approved and 485 pending (>180 days).
Any potential risks with this approach?
Thanks in advance!

Hi poorslumdogs,
If you refer to some thread, please do not ask others to search for it. Instead paste its link in your post so others can read it.
I heard from my friends there are no legal implications if you get laid off on EAD and you also have a valid parolee document.
This should get verified from an attorney though, specially if others create a doubt.
[QUOTE=.....That thread was created in the last 2-3 months time. So search for it.
There is definitely some legal implication otherwise why your employer wants to inform USCIS. They wanted to be in the safer side. So if anything happens you are the one going to face the music. So check with some good attorney.[/QUOTE]

Why are you jealous. Seems like he is qualified for EB-2 and applied it.
Buddy, I am in the same situation with an American company for which I am working since 2002. I applied in EB-3 (at that time per the job requirements). Company is ready to promote me but I am not accepting due to my EB-3. They decided to file labor for the future job which comes under EB-2. They filed it and waiting for approval.Once I get labor and 140, yes I will use EB-2 and take the promotion. How is this become an abuse, can you expalin? In my view if you get an offer for the future job in EB-2 category and not use that opportunity then that is called abusing yourself not the law.
What's wrong there other than making some people jealous.
Congrats on getting your green card. Your post and attitude is the exact reason why DOL has made it almost impossible to get EB2 certification especially in the software field and why people despice consultants like you and your desi employer.
You said in your post "Appiled for EB3 labor in jan 2004, even though i am qualified for EB2" dear sir its not your qualification that determines whether you get to file in eb2 or not but it is what the job requirements are that determine whether it is eb2 or eb3.
Another line from your post "After realizing that the dates will never become current for EB3, my desi employer files for EB2 labor" this and the previous line clearly show that you and your desi employer have no respect for the law. It is because of blatant abuse like this that DOL is cracking down on eb2 filings. Now thanks to people like you and your desi employer who have abused the law now even eb2 india might never become current because tons of people have already ported and spillover to eb2 is not happenning anymore like previous years. People have realized even eb2 india is never going to move beyond 2003 so "consultants" like you and desi companies have moved on to abusing eb1. Seems like you are proud of your achievement just like the L1 folks from desi companies who brag about getting green card in less than an year by abusing L1.
To all the people who think they can pull a trick like mr salawrene by filing in eb2 again hard luck there are 120000 485 applications with USCIS with eb3 and eb2 having about 60000 each, because of abuse in Eb1 no more spillover of visa numbers to eb2 india wil occur so eb2 india will not move forward, on top of it dol is cracking down on eb2 filings. eb2 might start moving backward to 2003 or 2002 and will remain stagnant like eb3 because no visa spillover is happenning.
because of desi consultants and desi employers abusing the system the whole EB community is suffering, high time we respected the law and stop this practise. for speaking the bitter reality if eb2 and eb1 abusers, consultants, desi employers want to give me a red go ahead and do it, but ask yourself have I said anything which is incorrect

I don't know much about Canada PR, but the 2nd option sounds good to me. Make sure your new employer is willing to give you a Joining Letter with the similar job responsibilities, job title, etc upon which your 485 is based.
Good Luck.

Hi Miriam,
I appreciate your efforts in highlighting this issue. It is a high stakes issue for would be future americans who respect the law, abide by it and wait patiently for their turn in line to apply for
green card, while maintaining legal non-immigrant working status during years of wait, paying taxes and contributing to social security. I would also like to highlight that in H1B status if one loses the job, he or she needs to leave the country in 10 days.
I am glad you are bringing the issue of legal immigration to light. After all, thats what everybody wants, immigration to be orderly and legal, but is it workable ? and why people trying to follow the law feel cheated and duped by the government, after waiting patiently for years and abiding to
the laws.
The Dept of State and Dept of Homeland Security(USCIS) acted against the interests of immigrants who are trying to immigrate legally. Legal immigration is the real issue. If it works, there
will not be a need to grant amnesty to millons of illegal alilens. The real solution to stop
illegal immigration is to make legal immigration work. Unfortunately, the government is going
in the opposite direction as evident by the actions of DOS and DOHS on July 2, 2007.
Is government sending the message to people trying to follow the law that, Following the law is
going to get tougher, just break it, become illegal aliens and we are working on an amnesty.
I would request you to get to the bottom of this and find out whether right procedures and laws were followed in using the visa numbers ? If not, then the conclusion is, government of United States failed in respecting and following its own laws. Is it not a travesty, that law breakers are
probably going to be rewarded with an amnesty and govenment is not respecting them either ?
We are resepecting it, following it and are getting the door slammed on us. I never thought, I
would see this in America. My impression of America has changed, forever.

Hello Ms. Miriam:
As a long time subscriber to the WSJ and one of the victims of the "bait and switch" by the USCIS and Department of State, I would like to thank you for covering the article in the WSJ. I would like to kindly direct your attention to the stand taken by AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Assoc.) and Immigration Voice (a non profit organization representing skilled immigrants). I feel it is necessary that the impact and the behind the scenes maneuvering at DOS be covered by a respectable publication such as the WSJ. May I point you to some of the links on the internet. Some are yet-unverified rumors. I hope that you will use your journalistic discretion and power to bring more light to this issue

Thank you very much for the response. My lawyer just responded back to DOL like around a week ago. It is very frustrated that I still don�t hear anything from DOL so far. I wonder if I change my visa to F1 by attending the school full times such as attending college. Can I stay in US and wait until I got my green card approved? Is it possible to do so?

The 2001 recession was centered around the tech bubble... Except for people working in IT, most did not even feel it was recession... Infact the recession of 2001 was considered the shortest and the mildest on record... But it hit the tech industry hard which was at the center of the storm... Having learned their lesson, the IT companies paid a lot of attention to their bottomline and preserving their resources... The Ciscos, the Microsofts, the Oracles are sitting on huge piles of cash... So they have not been as quick to lay off people as other industries... So if you work in IT you might be thinking what recession? Things are fine... Just as people in Real estate and finance thought in 2001... However, if you look at the numbers it tells a different story... The peak unemployement during the 01 recession was 6.2%... This time we have already crossed 6.7% and there seems no light at the end of the tunnel... This is a much serious downturn, that will fundamentally affect US and rest of the world. I am surprised at the number of IT people thinking this is a small storm that will just pass away... Lehman Brothers, 140 year old bank just vanished one morning... Merrill Lynch gone! Thats some serious S**T!! Its like waking up one morning to find out that Microsoft does not exist anymore! Ask your friends working in finance (if you have any) and they will tell you how serious this is! The layoffs in IT are coming my friends... Hold on to your jobs like your life depended on it... Because things are about to get nasty for the IT sector too... Good luck!

I agree 100%. Only thing that we should be asking is our SSN money back when people in temporary visa leave US.
Are you guys nuts?
Which country in the world would lobby another country to take in its citizens? Why would India lobby America to give permanent residence to its highly skilled Indian citizens? So that America can benefit? This would be tantamount to treason.
You are not talking about H1B here. This is concerning Permanent Residence for eventual American citizenship. Think reasonably guys!

nobody complains about somebody getting green card getting in six months, infact I know somebody who got green card from india onmployment basis, the problem is people who have waited for 6 years or longer feels the pinch, because
they have followed the law just like the guy who got in 6 months , and they see no light at the end of the tunnel, and frustration to certain degree amounts to anger.
chilllllllll enjoy the system, this is how the system works, like it or not.
thanks
And venting frustration on the forums by posting messages will ease out the situation? Right? And there is no need to explain this �unfairness� to the lawmakers who are considering various solutions to fix/address all possible immigration related problems. Would cribbing alone about �unfairness� on this and other forums help bring fairness to the process?

You've ever heard of kamikaze missions help by Japanese pilots during world war 2?
They were suicide missions to bomb American targets (like Pearl Harbor) knowing very well they will not come back alive. They would crash their planes into enemy targets laden with a lot of explosives.
Go figure!
Whatever side you are on, there is no way you can liken kamikaze mission to a suicide. Kamikaze mission was of bravery, people willing to die for their countries -- that is the ultimate sacrifice. People committing suicide are just cowards who aren't strong enough to face life problems thrown at them. I am sure a lot of us here have lost investments too, but we are going to pick ourselves up and continue to make our lives -- not end it.

What do you think it implies? I think what makes it so interesting is the fact that its a little controversial and actually makes you think.
