tabletpc,
Look at tv25's post. He/She alreday used the H1B...tv25 mentioned that she/he worked on H1B for three months. That would have invalidated her h4 visa.
You are right. THis is one case where in USCICS are wrong. The visa officer at consualte should have canceld her H4, which he/she din't do and tv25 took advantage of it. Even at the POE, officer should should have got the info on his system. No idea why it din't happen.
But tv25, stop using this forum to get the solution and contact an attorney, like murthy ASAP.

You have to stick to Software Engineer field in order to take advantage of PD recapture. If you move to Business Development using MBA than its hard to justify same or similar. Find a new job which requires EB2 and show BS+5 to qualify.
Hope that helps!

Went there personally and reached the consulate at around 9:00 AM... they had the waiting area open and gave me a number... approx 40 people were ahead of mine ... I had to do two work and seems one number was good enough for that ... by 10:45 I got my turn and the lady at the counter took my papers and papers for my little one's PIO card ... I paid 20+20 = $40 extra so that they can USPS me the PP ... received it within one week and the PIO card within 10 days ... I was out by 11:00 AM from the consulate ... a personal advice, if you go personally avoid Monday or Friday .. go in a weekday and you will have better luck with the crowd...
Good thing about going personally is that you do not have to send any original doc (for PIO card case) ... they only kept my old PP and returned both the books via mail...
only advice do not except a good service at the CGINY ... the lady at the counter was nice but over all service was poor ... you can see people were enjoying morning news paper even if it was well past 9:15/9:30 ... and if you call the number no one will pick the phone ... that�s terrible ...
I took the pain of driving to NY all the way from Boston to get my passport renewed. I woke up at 3:00AM and stated off at 4:00AM so that I could reach the consulate by 8:00AM. I was told by my friends that I would get it in the evening itself. Unfortunately, I was faced with severe disappointment that they are no longer returning the passports on the same day. The worst part about the Indian consulate in NY is that they didn't update their Website. When I called them several times, non one answers the phone and speaks with courtesy.
After arriving at the consulate, we were made to wait in the cold for atleast an hour until 9:15AM (They open the doors at 9:30AM). They have no mercy for people. Also, the approach they took to call out people was terrible. It was like a fish market. I asked them if would get my passport back on the same day. I didn't get a straight answer until my number was called. I went there and atleast that lady talked to me with respect with a smiling on her face. Atlast I was told that they are not returning the passport on the same day. They asked me to pay 20 extra dollars so that they'd send the passport by Express mail (USPS). She also told me that I can track the passport.
I then drove back to Boston, the same afternoon. After exactly a week, I got the new passport booklet along with my old passport. I am fortunate enough to have all of the details printed accurately.
My strong advise to everyone is to send their passports by mail.

Hi,
Myself & my husband received the EAD (with Nor FingerPrint Available), AP before the fingerPrint. On Sept 17th we did our fingerprinting. No LUD change yet. Is it the LUD needs to be changed after the finger printing? If not is there an issue?
Thanks & Regds

Dear IVans,
Now that the SEP VB is out, what does this indicate in terms of
- future VBs
- visa availability in the coming months
- awareness about visa wastage
- dates becoming current for most EB categories
- light at the end of tunnel for most of us
- USCIS efficiencies
Pls share your thoughts. Thanks!
We will know for sure after Sep 30. If they don't waste any visas then it is a good sign.
But if they do waste visas, inspite of all the leeway, requests, advise, whatever they have been given, then God help us.

I have a similar question. I have I-94 till Jan 2008 as my H1B visa is valid till Jan 2008. If I file an H1B extension in Dec, is that okay ? I know, approval would not come before Jan 08.

I did a blunder by not renewing my passport and travelled to India in August 2007, while returning to US , CBP officer in Chicago issued my I94 only till the expiration of Passport , which is March 2008 . My VISA was valid till Jan 2010
I tried to argue but no use his quote "You can not stay in this country with expired passport" as if there is definitive rule
Irony is I travelled to Canada in July 2007 and at that time my I94 was issued till Jan 2010 . It depends on the officer .
Moral of the Stroy "Renew your passports as soon as you can"
I went to Chicago airport after renewing my passport to renew my I94 , but the officer bluntly denied and asked me to visit USCIS local office . Again just few months back my friend was able to change his I94 in the same airport , looks like I m not that lucky
I contacted my Lawyer on the situation and he suggested either to apply for I94 extension with CIS or travel to Canada . Applying with CIS with 300$ fee doesnt make much sense to me so I decided to fly to Canada and got my new I94 -- Yahoooo atlast valid till Jan 2010
Again in the Tornoto airport officer offered me to keep the same I94 as I did not leave US for more than 30 days , After few scary moments I requested that I needed the new I94 and explained my situation and got it.

I vaguely remember a discussion several months ago on the forum about people that have gone back to their home countries after having waited for their green cards.
We have a media interview opportunity and need to find such examples. I remember an instance about a person going back to Bombay after he had immigration issues. He had set up his company there. Such people who could have helped US economy and growth will make a compelling story.
Pls. let me know urgently of any such cases and I will follow it up. This is required today and we have a short time window.
Two of my colleagues went back to India after facing GC hurdles. Among the two one is Phd in Atomic Science and Computer Science and lead a group of people and another is a Project Leader.
In the first one's case it took more than 4 years for him to clear his labor and got frustrated by this process. He initially sent his family back to home because of uncertainty. That created more hurdles for him as well as his family could not able to get AP in time and he is nearing completion of his 6 year H1 as well. Eventually he decided to pack his bag and went back to his home country, setup a big business and now visiting US on business Visa and take some of the jobs from here to there :)
[Side note: His approved LC remains unused at the company end even now, but finding a suitable person seems to be an uphill task for the Management and HR]
In the second one's case his labor took almost 5 years to clear and having frustrated, he decided to go back as well. He does not want hang in a place where a decision cannot be given in a timely manner. He got some special technical skills and his roll is now being replaced by 2 people. He also went back to his home country, joined a big IT firm as a Director and getting more jobs to be outsourced there :)
In both the cases, US is a clear looser by not taking advantage of the skill sets they have.
If you need more information in specific kindly send me a PM to respond you back.
Thanks

Can users suggest some companies who are currently doing EB2?
I think now we know why we are so fukked. Both EB2 and EB3! I bow to you sir.

more often then not, they will make a mistake. Then you have to pay the USCIS to fix their own mistake by filing MTR. Not to mention unnecessary stress... That being said, everybody has different risk tolerance.
With so many people changing jobs using AC21, not only IO, everyone in USCIS will be aware of it. Let's discuss something other interesting topic rather when 180days start/end.
IOs will see your I-485, use some calculator/software to find out of 180days and then say pass/fail. End of the game.

Let me preface this by stating that I have not yet shot with a D70, however I have heard very good things about it...particularly for it's price. IMHO, the best test of a camera is done in the field. By in "in the field", I mean does it allow you to do what you want it to do. A DSLR has a learning curve if you're coming from a P&S. Once you begin to master a DSLR, theimage quality bill be much better, and you also have much greater ability for creativity. If you want a D70, I'd take the info you've read regarding various issues with a grain of salt. Buy one from a reputable dealer that allows returns if it does'nt meet your expectations.
After deciding to buy the Nikon D70 I began to read a number of posts to the pReview forum that had D70 owners citing backfocusing problems with their new D70s. All resorted to sending their cameras to the Nikon Service Center for repair. All reported at least some measure of correction but some indicated they could not achieve precise focus within the DOF for each of the Nikon compatible lenses they owned and are useable with the D70.
I own two Sonys (the F707 and the V1). Both, in my view achieve remarkable clarity, color and brightness right out of the box. AF on both is, again in my view, is extraordinary. So, I would be very disappointed if I were to spend 1500 or more bucks (with some accessories) to arrive at inferior imagery.
It is possible what I am reading is the view of purists who are able to "see" focus flaws that the more casual, but still demanding, amateur photogs would dismiss?
Has anyone out there had experience with the backfocusing problem to which I refer?

I did not feel like signing along for two reasons: we are not US citizen yet, and I consider myself citizen of the world and will always be. I do not aspire to become citizen of the United States of America.
Even when Americans sang their national anthem in a church, I felt not right. Churches are not supposed to be linked to states. There should be no country boundary with in the Christian world.
There should be no country boundary within the world we want to be build either. If the United States go to war with your country of birth, who will you side with? Will the United States trust you?
You have a point - yes, we are all different nationalities, as a matter of fact we even waved the American Flags.
The only reason I can see is - we have embraced America. Here we are fighting a political battle and we do not even have the right to vote.

What will be my status after i file my I485?
My current I-94 will expire on 16th Sep 2007 (on the day my current visa stamp in my passport expires and my current H1 B is set to expire Mid April 2008).
I am planning to make a trip to Cannda or someplace to get a new I-94 as soon as i get my new passport (i had sent it for renewal on june 2nd). But i am a little worried about my status if i am unable to make the trip.
So my question is what will be my status after 16th sep 2007 (once i file for I485 (first week of July2007) and my I-94 expires on 16th Sep 2007)?
Appreciate any responses ...
After you file 485 you are in AOS so you can file for AP and use that to get back into US. Once in AOS it doesn't matter if your H1B expired or I94 is expired as you will be in status. However to work you will need EAD.
To enter reenter US you should have a H1B visa stamp which is valid or have an AP. If you use your AP you will have to use EAD to continue working. Another option is to get a new H1B stamp based on your current H1B petition which is valid till april 2008.

A recruiter would fall into a diferent job code basket. If the job offer is written to match responsibilities of your current job, you may be OK. This is really a question for lawyers and I suspect not all lawyers may concur in this case.
There is another option where you can get a new labor + new I140 for the new job and replace the 140 of your 485 applications. I would suggest you get the opinion of a second lawyer, just to be on the safer side.
