Don't you think this maybe racial profiling?
What about Greencard holders and Citizens of Indian origin?
There is no way one can look at the face and say H1B/EAD/GC/Citizen?
Should citizens also carry passports at all times. The drivers licence does not say a person is a citizen.

Hi Sameer,
this is not a plot, we have received this query, and are looking for some help and advice.
When my first employer sent me papers for H1 stamping in 2000, I immediately saw the LCA attached to the copy of the H1 petition. I wrote back to him saying that it doesn't right that my project/place of work is in a different city than the one mentioned in the H1 application LCA. The HR dept of the company then contacted the law firm that had processed my H1. The law firm replied back saying they already have the LCA for the city of my place of my work/client. My employer back then was one of the largest Big 6 consulting companies. This was back in 2000, even before I had landed in US.
There is nothing new about this rule about getting approved LCA for the place of work/client. And it takes just couple of days to get approved LCA back then. Now it takes 1 day to get approved LCA. Every immigration lawyer is supposed to know this and advise his/her clients accordingly. I have ZERO respect for the immigration lawyer who don't already know this and is now pretending as if this is some sort of big change in the rule by sending such newsletters pretending this is something new. These ignorant lawyers practicing immigration law representing their client and screwing the lives of people like us should be reported to the State Bar Association. Its also the fault of the employer to not get approved LCA of a city before asking its employees on H1 to work for a client in that place.

You can expect just any kind of behaviour in consulates. A friend of mine was denied H1-B stamping just because the person before him was rude to the lady and that lady was just furious. That lady was american. The point is there are tons of stories like this and it is painful and best you can do now to hurt that guy is to report it in as many places.

Everone please note the most recent i94 means the once that you got hwen u last entered the US and not the one from the 797 copy
Are you sure about this? My lawyer said that the most recent I-94 is the one that is valid. Of course, my wife and I have submitted all I-94s that we have held, so this isn't an issue for me, but I was surprised by your statement.
This is because when I entered the US, the I-94 had an expiry date of (let's say) 12/31/06. In Oct 06, my H-1B was renewed and the I-94 that came with 797 had an expiry date of (let's say) 10/30/07. In such a scenario, the USCIS expectation is that you tear out the old I-94 from your passport after it expires (12/31/06) and attach the new one. And this new I-94 will be your recent I-94. Makes sense, right?
Thanks,
Jayant

Filled application look ok to me and $225.00 check to USCIS...
Its painful when you are half in and half out.
So, only your daughter's applications says rejected. Your + wife's AOS application is "receipted". Am I correct? Since your daughter is a "derivative" applicant, can you not file any time even after August 17 since the primary application is pending? Experts, what say?
Yesterday my paralegal was suggesting this, but said he was not sure.

The plan of activities:
The plan is that starting 5pm on Saturday (9/15), we plan on gathering at Hyatt meeting room. We will all have to make ourselves available here as soon as we get into DC.

I'm very positive that it is(OH's message) about filing I-485 as soon as possible. I know few lawyers going this route. Just file I-485 is the motto and make money in the process. They are just giving a false hope that USCIS may HOLD applications.:(
My lawyer is not going to charge me twice, so there is no question about making money twice.

The guidelines are not really clear.
However, Mr Shusterman claims to have faxed over some documents to prove the status is perfectly legal and all the charges were dropped, which means, it is not an issue if someone's i 94 expires as long as u r in AOS - if it were an issue, we would see a lot of chaos - Attorneys reminding clients to go out and come back.
However, it looks like there is inconsistency somewhere. When someone says "Go to USCIS office and get your i 94 changed" it shows they have absolutely no clue what they are talking about.

also, it is true that 44000 of EB3 cases were pre-adjudicated. I have been reading in these forums that those cases belong to India and China. I think we are forgetting about the EB3 ROW cases that are pending due to the EB3 category going "U" earlier this year. Unless we see how the approvals come about in October, we cannot state for sure which of the EB3 cases were pre-ajudicated.

Well..its not like there are absolutely no Approvals from NSC...there are one off cases and notices sent. How would they have gone thru??
I did not say NSC has not got any approvals. It needs to be seen as to when the Approval notfication is sent and when the GC validity date starts.
Unless you have the Physical card with you, you will not know when it is actually approved.
Let's say, on Aug 1st the case is approved, so GC is valid from Aug 1st onwards but notification may be sent on Aug 6th or 7th(Be it Welcome letter or CPO or what ever) which is when a person knows his/her case is approved and not on Aug 1st.
Maybe the cases that got approved have been approved earlier than to the date when people received their notification...
Hope this is clear....

After 9 years of being in the US and after years of waiting for the GC processing, the quest for GC finally ended today with the approval of I-485 and the welcome email from USCIS. It is an overwhelming feeling which puts an end to the saga of constant worrying about what will happen to my GC and whether I�ll have to leave US if the GC didn�t work out for whatever reason. I have personally known several friends who had to leave to Canada after the unsuccessful bid for GC here and that experience didn�t make this journey any easier.
I just want to thank all IV members (and immigrationportal members before IV) who have provided invaluable suggestions and help during this long, difficult, and sometimes depressing journey and I wish you all the best for those who are still in the process.
Chargability of Nepal and still nine years. GC wait is in light years literally. Light travels from our nearest star (Proxima Centauri) in 4.3 years. 4.3*2 = 8.6 years

Yes, I work for a large corporation and also have a MS degree from US with over 6yrs experience in the company. My attorney filed in wrong category at that time and since then i am stuck in EB3 category even though i was eligible for EB2. I want to at least try instead of not doing anything, So gathering info on various options. I really appreciate IV efforts to help all categories but i want to pursue porting also. I support IV efforts and also contributed to the DC event as i couldn't travel.
Also, I am a little confused as i thought we can file multiple PERM LC depending on job duties even though you may have a pending I485 application. Does this mean, I won't be able to file in EB2 category even though i join a different large company? What are DOL regulations? Do the job responsibilities need to be 50% different or something and if so will it not affect your pending I485?
You can file an EB2 Perm with appropriate duties as long as the position qualifies for it and your duties are significantly different from your EB3 petition. Don't trust any attorney blindly. When in doubt check with a reputed attorney different from your company attorney at your expense if needed. You can always try an EB2 perm from a different company without much issues. If current attorney/company is trying to hold you back from going EB2 route, find another company to do that. That is next logical step.

Not totally sure, but by law, as such, aren't we (non-immigrants) are required to carry our passport at ALL times!!! :).....it is just that nobody enforces this strictly...but as mentioned below, IF they ask you and we don't have the passport, it will take some effort to convince them about our status!!!!!!
If you have an unexpired visa stamped in your passport then an valid DL is sufficient. If stopped they will contact the HQ and confirm it. If not I would advice you take your I-797 approval notice with you. They need some proof they you are legal
I was stopped in Brownsville, TX airport (close to Mexico but still US) . My visa expired but I had valid H1B extension which I did not hand handy. I went through nightmare before I was allowed to go. I ended up missing my flight and paying $600.00 in re-booking.
Please at least carry I-797 copy with you if you don't have a unexpired US VISA.
That was the only time I was stopped with in the US by border patrol.

Very well said.. We all did feel like we are handicaped.. I guess each of us should realize now how important it is to have IV.. IF we want to have IV then we need money for it.
Thanks for the update Logiclife. But we (or atleast I) felt handicapped without IV and were scrambling for resources. I think people will now realise how valuable and important IV is for all of us and contribute generously so that we don't have these kinda outages.
Have a good night....we have a long day tomorrow :)
