Hi,
My Perm LC is applied in DEC 2007, GOT AUDIT RFE last week.
I am really worried about RFE. My Employer advised me we need reply them quickly in 1 week so that they feel we are serious.
Mine is BE+5years, applied under EB2 CATEGORY. I have 9+years of experience.
My employer advised me create a document which explains the Job Duties and responsibilites etc project by project.
and documnets including resume, experience letters, etc.
Can any body explain me what exactly uscis is expecting from me , what kind documents/avidence they are expecting in RFE ?
RFE Reason says:
Please provide documents such as position descriptions, the percentage of time spent on the various duties, organizational charts, and payroll records demonstarting that the qualifying experience gained by the alien while working for the employer, including as a contract employee, was ina position not substantially, i.e., not requiring performance of the same job duties more than 50 percent of the time to the position for which certification is being sought, and/or documents demonstarting that it is no longer feasible to train a worker to qualify for the position.
Thanks & Regards,

this makes it very hard for people who jumped jobs in their 7th/8th years with 1 year extensions from new employer. All were hoping to get LC+I_140 done within that year so they are eligible for further H1B extensions.

USCIS Revises Filing Instructions and Direct Mail Program for the Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (Form I-90)
WASHINGTON � U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services (USCIS) published a Federal Register notice on April 28, 2009 that changed the filing location and filing instructions for the Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (Form I-90). The revised filing instructions require applicants to submit supporting documentation with their applications. Prior to this change, applicants were instructed to bring their supporting documentation to their biometrics appointments. The notice also revises the Direct Mail address for the Form I-90. Applicants must now file their Form I-90 and supporting documentation with the USCIS Lockbox facility in Phoenix.
This change in filing location affects all I-90 applicants filing a paper form, including those applicants filing the I-90 because their previously issued card was never received or because their existing card has incorrect data due to a USCIS error. This notice does not affect applicants filing an I-90 electronically or whose place of residence is outside the United States.
Beginning on April 28, 2009, applicants must submit their Form I-90 and supporting documentation to the USCIS Lockbox facility in Phoenix for initial processing, using the following addresses:
USCIS
P.O. Box 21262
Phoenix, AZ 85036
For USPS Express Mail and Courier Service deliveries, use the following address:

what is new about what is being said in this article? We all know that bill is unlikely this year. Bush does not have a control over what happens in Congress. So anything he says is an expression of opinion. Besides, that opinion is the opinion of everyone who understands the circumstances. This article is a month old and the analysis is even older, please post something new next time.

Hello there,
Can anyone please write toll free telephone # for the USCIS Premium Processing (I140, H1-B Renewals). Just wondering if one can obtain Receipt Number for the I-140 filing?

Maybe if it were wolf tracks or bears or something dangerous.
... especially if the wolf or bear were standing at the end of the tracks, looking back over its shoulder (from a safe distance, of course!]. That would make an interesting shot.

As a service to our readers we publish local ceremony dates. If USCIS approves your application for naturalization, you must attend a ceremony and take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States. USCIS will notify you by mail of the time and date of your ceremony.
The notice USCIS sends you is called the "Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony" (Form N-445). In some cases, USCIS may give you the option to take the Oath on the same day as your interview. If you decide to take a "same day" oath, USCIS will ask you to come back to the office later that day. At this time, you will take the Oath and receive your Certificate of Naturalization.
If you cannot go to the oath ceremony, you should return the "Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony" (Form N-445) that USCIS sent to you. You should send the N-445 back to your local office. Include a letter saying why you cannot go to the ceremony. Make a copy of the notice and your letter before you send them to USCIS. Your local office will reschedule you and send you a new "Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony" (Form N-445) to tell you when your ceremony will be.

I guess it means nothing to us. My file has moved over the years from CA -> NE -> SJ NBC -> TSC.
TSC was the most efficient machinery USCIS had. Someone in NSC may not have liked this, so they are moving the old files to TSC to make it look just as bad. :D

Hi All,
I just joined a new company and would like to use AC21 as I will be working on EAD. 140 is approved and 485 is pending for more than 180 days. New job is same or similar as per ONET job code.
My question is,
Is it necessary to involve your attorney or you can simply go ahead and file AC21 yourself?
I would like to what others have done? What kind of extra fees your attorney has charged for AC21?
Thanks

Re: #1
Good question.
The rule is misleading and your confusion is understandable. Do not file in the CSC, it will likely be rejected, or if you're lucky, they might overlook it or transfer the case to VSC.
The filing location will be the VSC because that's your worksite. The rule requiring you to file in CSC has to do with the "H-1b employer" itself being cap exempt (ie. institutions of higher education and certain non-profit organizations). Your H-1b employer is a for-profit company, I assume, so they are not exempt from the cap.
Re: #2
Section 2.2 should be "e" if you're porting to a new employer, if it's a pure extension with the same employer, pick "b."
Section 2.5 should be "c."

Hello,
My I-485 application was filed under EB3 category when I was working for my previous employer (PD - October 2006). I changed my job in August 2008, but never sent any documentation for AC21. I now have close to 8 years of experience and also a masters degree (MBA) from a reputed univeristy here in the US.
Now that EB2 dates are so close to October 2006, is there anyway I can port my application from EB3 to EB2? I can initiate this discussion with my current employer and may be able to convince them to help me. But I want to know exactly what needs to be done.
Thanks a lot in advance for your assistance in this matter!

Since you are using the AC21, your job must be in the same or similar category. It does not matter how much qualification/experience you have. The job requirement should need that. Since you are using AC21, there is no way you can port from EB3 to EB2 in the current job. If you want to go for EB2, you need to start from scratch and the job requirement really needs a masters.

its good to use your OPT card as long as its vaild and then move to H1, there is no time frame for stamping, its always good to go to your home country and then get it stamped,but once you start working on H1(your payrolls starts on H1) then your H1 clock starts

Hi All,
My online status for I-140 petition comes up with this weird status.
Your Current Case Status for Form I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.
On Feburary 7th, 2011 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.
Any idea what this could be?
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks in advance!!

You need to be present in US at time of applying for the extension and when its approved. Said that in your case I think it would be fine to start H1B extension process after you are back. May be to be safe you can try doing it premium(if company is ready to spend extra money) as it gets done usually in less than a month.

Hello,
I need your advice / opinion on the below scenario...
I and my wife are both employed at the same company, currently on H1.
I am the primary for our GC processing; my wife is dependent on me with regards to GC.
We both got our EAD and AP. 140 approved in May 2007, 485 Filed in Aug 2007.
I have submitted I-9 to the company in order to be on EAD status.
I am planning to have my Wife resign from the current employer and work for a diff company/vendor by using EAD.
Questions: 1.Does the above scenario bring up any issues with regards to our work status or any other issues with the current employer or to the GC process?
2. Can I work on a part time project?
Please advice

I will appreciate input/s regarding folloiwng:
Here are the details:
Working with an employer since 2001, EB 3 PD Dec 2003, EAD in 2007, Still on H1b until Nov 10. Though have two masters (both rec'd prior to 2003) i had filed under EB 3 (no one to balim it was just me...was not proactive enough/not enough guidence from the lawyer)
With the same employer, i have rec'd EB 2 approval, want to file I 140 and port EB 3 PD.
Need help/input with folloiwng from the gurus:
1) in EB 3 application the title is "Construction Engineer" with 4 lines of scope of work clarification with bachelors degree in civil engg. and no experience requirement. In EB 2 application, we have used same title "Construction Engineer" with 4 lines of scope of work, we had left 2 lines common (as earlier in EB3 application) and 2 new lines (related to environmental engg. since i have two env. engg. masters with BE in civil engg.)......this ad asked for MS in env. engg. or similar degree with no experience requirement.
Question: EB 2 Labor is approved, i am not sure what they check with i 140 application but does above sound reasonable (not that anything can be changed...but asking for an opinion here).
2) With premium processing, how long it takes to get I140 approved?
3) Do we just file for I 140 for EB 2 first, get it approved and then file letter/application ( i don't know the procedure/protocol) asking to port PD OR do we need file some sort of paper work with I140 to port PD.
4) How long it takes to get case approved (I485) after i140 is approved?
Again, appreciated your help and Thank you in advance.
