What if your old employer cancels your I-140? In that case wouldn't it be better to have informed USCIS that you changed jobs?
After 180 days if employer cancels I 140 it does not matter......:)

Can some please advice me how to proceed further Please find the denial notice for your reference. All your inputs means a lot to me. Please help me and guide in proper direction.
on Nov 19,2009, the petitioner responded by submitting a copy of a Contract or consulting Services agreement betwwen the petitioner and another software consulting firm, Company X-Which will further Contract the benificiary's services with other firms needing computer related positions to complete thier projects - to show that the petitioner has work for the beneficiary.
However, without valid contracts between CompanyX and the actual end-client firm ultimately involved with the eneficiary's computer related duties, the evidence does not establish the work to be completed; that the duties to be performed are those of a systems administrator and thus a specialty occupation Position and that the work will be avilable for the beneficiary.
The present record fails to demonstrate the specific duties the beneficiary would perform under contract for petitioners clients.The court in defensorv.meissner,201F.3d 384 (5th cir.2000) held that for purposes of determining whether apreferred positions is a specialty occupation,a petitioner acting ina similar manner as the present petitioner is merely a "token employer", while the entity for which the services are to be performed is the "more relevant employer". the defensor court recognized that evidence of the client companies job requirements is critical where the work to be performed is for an entity other than the petitioner. Accordingly, the court held that the legacy immigration and Naturalization service ( Service now CIS) had reasonably interpreted the Act and regulations to require that a petitioner produce evidence that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation on the basis of the requirements imposed by the entities using the beneficiary's services.
As Such, the petitioner has not established that the duties of the proferred position for the beneficiary require a speciality occupation and that it has sufficient work for the required priod of intended employment. There for the beneficiary is ineligible for classificationas a specialty occupation worker.
Pursuant to INA 291, the burden of the proof in these proceedings rests solely with the petitioner. Here that burden has been met.
Consequently, the petiton is hereby denied.

What your lawyer says in incorrect. I have had my visa stamped successfully only for 3 months validity in the past. Even this time I have only 2 months left (until Feb 2008) but am still going for stamping. So do not worry. As long as you have one more day left, you can get it stamped. Good luck.
I would very much appreciate if I could get your input in the following situation.
I have plans to travel on 7th Dec but am still waiting for my AP. The AP was aproved on 6th Nov along with my spouse's AP on the same date. He got his AP (thru lawyer) about 10 days back, but I did not receive it. Chances look bleak that I will get AP before 4th Dec (by which date I need to cancel my tickets to get a refund). However, I have a I-797 which is valid till Mar 2008. I wanted to use that to get H1 stamping in India, but when I spoke to my Lawyer, I was told that I cannot do so beacuse the 797 is expiring in 3 months.
If you have a recent experience of getting H1 stamped with your I797 expiring in a few months please do reply.

Hello IVans,
My employer did not pay for I485 expenses (USCIS fees, Lawyer expenses and Medical exam expenses). I paid all these expenses out of my pocket. Today one of my friends told me that these expenses could qualify as tax-deductible expenses. I have my doubts, but want to get you thoughts.
Thanks.
I am pretty sure the medical exam expenses do qualify for tax deductible.
As far as lawyer fees and USCIS fees there are two school of thought, one says the are tax dedutible and other say they are not, but as per my CPA( and i take services of a professional one and charges around 250 USD for my tax filing) anything that is work related is tax deductable i.e. softwares,stationary,part of apartment rent(if u telecommute),expenses towards job hunting, even H1B visa stamping fees,even bad loans can be written off as loses

why would flash people move on to flex ? That makes no sense at all.
Because Flash is equivalent to hell from a development standpoint. :evil:
Plus no one here said people should be using Flex over Flash (unless I misread something). :goatee:

Gurus,
Please help me guiding in my situation:
I have been on H1B for about 2 years, I came through desi consulting company. As usual there were no bench salary and very irregular payment during project duration also, I was not paid for about 50% of time.
I had switched to another employer couple of months back, My H1B approval with new employer is still pending. recently I had got letter from Department of Labor (DOL). They are trying to investigate my previous employer if he is complying with american competitiveness and workforce improvement act(ACWIA) of 1998.
They had sent me a questioner about previous employer about salary being paid etc.
I am not sure what should I be doing in this situation:
If I reply with all facts this might effect my pending H1B status for new employer.
If I write in a way that thing were as per LC then I am lieing, which I am not comfortable with.
Third Option could be that I do not respond at all
[They had mentioned that I am NOT required to respond.]
I am seeking help from experts and forum members, what should be I doing in this situation so that my H1B transfer do not get jeopradasided.
Thanks
Saurav
If you decide to reply, tell the truth.
Telling the truth about not getting paid will not get your new H1 extension into jeopardy. If you already filed for extension and do not have pay stubs for a period of time, you will possibly receive a RFE for lack of pay stubs. your response will help as an explanation of the employer's violations in case of a RFE and possibly can get you paid for the time you were not paid.

We (me, my wife and my son) are submitted 485 applications on July 7th to Nebraska service center latter they transferred to Vermont from there it again transferred to Taxes Service. Unfortunately I forgot to write the amount in wordings in my wife's 485 application check so they rejected my wife's application on Oct 9th, they enclosed the letter to re submit the application by using the new fee. We re submitted on Oct 15th by enclose the two checks $325 and $1010 along with the covering letter and the letter what they are given.
Again they rejected the application in Dec 12th by mentioning Visa number is not available for this application. That time my attorney is not there He went to India so no body inform to me. He came back on Jan 28th we re submitted again by explaining all the details, but they reject on Feb 14th mentioning the same reason Visa Number is not available.
I have seen so many people are got their receipt numbers if they re submitted the application for any mistakes. Me my son got the receipt numbers and Fingerprint every thing.
My Attorney is telling we need to wait for PD current. Mine is PD for EB2 India 6/6.
My wife doesn't get her receipt 485 number I am not able to use my EAD.
Can any body suggest how to approach this case? Or is any one face same issue.
Thanks.
If its rejected due to "missing or incorrect fee" you can send the package back with a special cover letter to by-pass the mail room. The letter has to say something in the lines of: "Attention CRU Supervisor, case improperly rejected due to fee".. search for these in google. You will find a template.
Mine was rejected for the same and Supervisor accepted my refile.
Good luck.

I have similar question as the last one from bhayzone.
+ Myself on H1-B and wife on H4.
+ Both visas are expired now. Have got the new I797s (new expiry in 2011) and planning to go to India in Jan 2010 to get the new visa stamps.
+ But we are planning to apply for my wife's F1 visa instead of renewing her H4.
+ I have my got my I140 approved.
So my question is -
+ Can we schedule our visa interview appointment together - me for H1-B stamping and my wife for F1 stamping?
+ Is it risky to go together?
+ If for some reasons, my wife's F1 application gets rejected, will there be any problem in again applying for her H4 renewal/stamping?
Will appreciate any/all advice.
Regards,
N.

Thanks guys... I believe my experiences are "progressive" (whatever that means) in a sense that during 5 years of work I progressed accordignly and to the level that the job description / ad for my position would require BS plus 5 years of experience.
What I don't get and was not quite sure about was the fact that 2 of those 5 years were during college. 5 years of experience is 5 years - I don't get why they would not like it. It is normal for people to work full time and go to college full time. When you get hired, if you have 5 years of full time experience, the prospective employer could not care less that 2 years of that were gained during last 2 years of college.
Dunno ... with USCIS and their rules ...
I asked my lawyer (duahhaaaa) and he said it's ok ... but I don't trust him.
M.
You should have 5 years experience after your Bachelor degree. Experience before degree will not be counted towards progressive experience. It happened in my case in Eb2 I140

You can import PDF-compatible Adobe Illustrator files (.ai) directly into an open document in your Microsoft Expression Blend project.
When you import an Illustrator file into Expression Blend, Illustrator layers, groups, and objects are converted to Expression Blend containers and objects with associated properties. Understanding how Illustrator objects are imported into Expression Blend will help you integrate Illustrator files into your Expression Blend projects more quickly and efficiently.
When you save your file in Illustrator, make sure that the Create PDF Compatible File check box is selected in the Illustrator Options dialog box. Otherwise, you will not be able to import your Illustrator files into Expression Blend.
http://expressioniq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/b5_CreatePDFCompatibleFile.png (http://expressioniq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/b5_CreatePDFCompatibleFile.png)
To import an Illustrator file
Open the document into which you want to import the .ai file.
On the File menu, click Import Adobe Illustrator File.
In the Import Adobe Illustrator File dialog box, locate the Illustrator file that you want to import, and click Open.
Click OK.
A new Canvas object with the same name as your imported file is added to your document. In the Objects and Timeline panel, under the Canvas object (named AvatarSymbols in this example), are all of the Illustrator objects imported as Expression Blend objects. If images are imported as a part of your .ai file, a new folder (named AvatarSymbols_Images in this example) is created in the root folder in the Projects panel to contain all the converted image files.
Note: If there are no images associated with your project, a folder will not be created in the Projects panel.
http://expressioniq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/b5_ImportIllustratorFile.png (http://expressioniq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/b5_ImportIllustratorFile.png)
You can also create a custom folder in the Project folder for any images that are associated with your .ai file.
To create a custom images folder
In the Projects panel, right-click the .csproj file, and then click Add New Folder.
Type a name for the new folder in the folder name box.
With the folder selected in the Projects panel, import the Illustrator file by following the steps in the preceding procedure entitled “To import an Illustrator file.”
Layers, groups, and objects
Expression Blend imports Illustrator layers and groups as nested XAML Canvas objects containing paths and images. Nested Canvas objects are used as layout containers to make them easier to work with in Expression Blend. The following information will help you understand how to work with Illustrator files after they are imported.
Layer names
Layer names are preserved for the top-level groups (Avatars in the preceding image). After you import your Illustrator file into Expression Blend, you can change the name by right-clicking the object in the Objects and Timeline panel and then clicking Rename, or by double-clicking the object name and then typing directly in the object name field.
File structure and groups
Illustrator groups do not exist in PDF-compatible files, so are not imported into Expression Blend. However, the objects contained within an Illustrator group are imported as individual objects with the same positioning as in the Illustrator group.
Object types
Images are imported as PNG files and are added to an images folder in the Project panel, and added as Image objects in the Objects and Timeline panel. Text and vector objects are imported as editable paths and appear in the Objects and Timeline panel.
Visibility and lock
Visibility settings for Illustrator layers imported into Expression Blend are preserved. However, only visible objects within layers are imported. You can change which objects are imported into Expression Blend by changing the visibility settings of the objects within each layer in Illustrator.
Lock settings are ignored.
Editable content
If the imported content is editable, you can modify the appearance of the content in Expression Blend by modifying the object properties. The following table describes Illustrator elements that are editable in Expression Blend. Use the Description column to locate the properties for the object in order to modify them in Expression Blend.
Illustrator element Expression Blend element (XAML) Description Group Canvas Illustrator groups are ignored. However, the content of the group is imported as individual objects in the Objects and Timeline panel. Text (type objects) Canvas An Illustrator type object is imported as a Canvas object named TextBlock with the original Illustrator text imported as Path objects. Text styles are imported as separate Path objects. For example, a 5-letter word with a Strikethrough style applied is imported as a Canvas object containing 6 paths, one path for each letter of the word, and an additional path for the Strikethrough style.
Stroke Path An Illustrator stroke is imported as a path with the Stroke properties mapped to the Stroke brush in the Properties panel in Expression Blend. Solid color fill Path An Illustrator solid color fill is imported as a Path with the original Fill property mapped to Expression Blend Color properties applied to a Solid color brush. Solid color brush properties are located in the Brush category of the Properties panel.
Linear gradient fill Path An Illustrator linear gradient fill is imported as a Path with the original Fill property mapped to Expression Blend Linear gradient brush properties applied to a Gradient brush. Linear gradient brush properties are located in the Brush category of the Properties panel.
Radial gradient fill Path An Illustrator radial gradient fill is imported as a Path with the original Fill property mapped to Expression Blend Radial gradient brush properties applied to a Gradient brush. Radial gradient brush properties are located in the Brush category of the Properties panel.
Image layer Image An image object in Illustrator is imported as an Image object in Expression Blend. In addition, a PNG file is added to the project. The PNG file is the source for the Image object. Custom fill OpacityMask applied to an ImageBrush Illustrator supports multiple fills for an individual object. If an additional fill is applied to an object in Illustrator, and that fill contains an alpha channel, the fill is imported as an OpacityMask applied to an ImageBrush. For best results, use only one fill acting as an opacity mask in your Illustrator file. OpacityMask properties are located in the Brushes category in the Properties panel. In addition, a PNG file is added to the project. The PNG file is the source for the ImageBrush.
Note: You can verify whether or not multiple fills has been applied to an object by viewing the object properties in the Appearance panel in Illustrator.
Clipping mask Clip property An Illustrator clipping mask is imported as a Clip property. Clip properties are located in the Miscellaneous category in the Properties panel.
Note: The Clip property has limited support in Windows Phone projects.
Illustrator feature support in Expression Blend
The following Illustrator features are supported in Expression Blend. Where noted, features can be edited in Expression Blend.
Note: Although Expression Blend supports the following Illustrator features, for best results, create your Illustrator file using only vector art.
Text
Text layers imported from Illustrator are converted to a canvas, and each character is a separate path object that is a child of the canvas. The appearance of the text is maintained, but is no longer editable as text after it is imported.
If a single text layer in Illustrator contains hard returns, the text associated with each paragraph break will be imported as a separate canvas object when imported into Expression Blend.
Note: You may experience unexpected results when you import text from Illustrator. These results can include unexpected character rotation, kerning, point sizes, and alignment.
Text styles
The following Illustrator text effects create individual paths when imported into Expression Blend.
Subscript
Superscript
StrikeThrough
Underline
SmallCaps
AllCaps
Effects
Effects are supported, but not editable, in Expression Blend. Effects are rasterized and imported as Image objects. A PNG file is used as the source for the image object, and is located in the folder that is created in the Project panel.
Gradients
Expression Blend supports the importing and editing of linear and radial gradients. Color stops are imported as gradient brushes to the Fill property of the resulting object in Expression Blend, and opacity stops are imported as gradient brushes to the OpacityMask property.
Strokes
Custom strokes are imported as individual paths.
When you save an Illustrator file in PDF-compatible format, strokes and fills are saved as separate paths. When you import a PDF-compatible file into Expression Blend, a stroke and a fill on the same object may also be imported as separate objects. However, if the stroke and the fill are identical, the stroke and the fill may be merged into a single object when imported into Expression Blend.

Custom fill OpacityMask applied to an ImageBrush Illustrator supports multiple fills for an individual object. If an additional fill is applied to an object in Illustrator, and that fill contains an alpha channel, the fill is imported as an OpacityMask applied to an ImageBrush. For best results, use only one fill acting as an opacity mask in your Illustrator file. OpacityMask properties are located in the Brushes category in the Properties panel. In addition, a PNG file is added to the project. The PNG file is the source for the ImageBrush.
Note: You can verify whether or not multiple fills has been applied to an object by viewing the object properties in the Appearance panel in Illustrator.
Clipping mask Clip property An Illustrator clipping mask is imported as a Clip property. Clip properties are located in the Miscellaneous category in the Properties panel.
Note: The Clip property has limited support in Windows Phone projects.
Illustrator feature support in Expression Blend
The following Illustrator features are supported in Expression Blend. Where noted, features can be edited in Expression Blend.
Note: Although Expression Blend supports the following Illustrator features, for best results, create your Illustrator file using only vector art.
Text
Text layers imported from Illustrator are converted to a canvas, and each character is a separate path object that is a child of the canvas. The appearance of the text is maintained, but is no longer editable as text after it is imported.
If a single text layer in Illustrator contains hard returns, the text associated with each paragraph break will be imported as a separate canvas object when imported into Expression Blend.
Note: You may experience unexpected results when you import text from Illustrator. These results can include unexpected character rotation, kerning, point sizes, and alignment.
Text styles
The following Illustrator text effects create individual paths when imported into Expression Blend.
Subscript
Superscript
StrikeThrough
Underline
SmallCaps
AllCaps
Effects
Effects are supported, but not editable, in Expression Blend. Effects are rasterized and imported as Image objects. A PNG file is used as the source for the image object, and is located in the folder that is created in the Project panel.
Gradients
Expression Blend supports the importing and editing of linear and radial gradients. Color stops are imported as gradient brushes to the Fill property of the resulting object in Expression Blend, and opacity stops are imported as gradient brushes to the OpacityMask property.
Strokes
Custom strokes are imported as individual paths.
When you save an Illustrator file in PDF-compatible format, strokes and fills are saved as separate paths. When you import a PDF-compatible file into Expression Blend, a stroke and a fill on the same object may also be imported as separate objects. However, if the stroke and the fill are identical, the stroke and the fill may be merged into a single object when imported into Expression Blend.

My apologies if the post was out of context. Didn't want to open yet another thread here.
I have only one E-mail id - lobbyday@immigrationvoice.com - which is being used by everyone to send their details for setting up the meetings. I don't have any other E-mail ids with me [ except the volunteer who contacted me]. Which one should I use? Lobbyday@IV or the volunteers E-mail id?
Could we just keep the focus of this thread to encourage more members to send the information required to setup the meetings on Sept 17th? Your comments may be important and you may have a valid concern, but mixing all the information and individual meeting view-points is going to create a chaos.
Walking_dude,
If you have any question, could you please simply send an email? Volunteers working on this effort are working day in and day out and they are not going to come to this thread to read your post and to answer your question. Your post is relevant, but somewhere else. It is not helping what we are trying to do on this thread. You apparently have the documents so that means you know which email to write your comments/concerns.
Hope you understand what we are trying to say.

fuzzy logic

The amended H-1B by itself will not be an issue when it comes to GC.
My question was more about why for "rajuseattle" there was going to be AC21 since his job location has not changed.
In your case, you have mentioned that you are going to accept more responsibility than that has been stated in PERM, so AC21 is inevitable. As long as you are in the same line of work, I think you should be okay.
Anyone else has inputs for "fuzzy logic"?
sledge hammer - Thanks for your clarification. I hope my company will be willing to amend my H1B.
I appreciate everyone's suggestion on this issue. As for AC21 - my take is that it is a slam dunk if the new and old title fall in the same ONET code or is a related job under the same code. Other wise it gets tricky. This is my take on it, but there are varied interpretations out there.

With 100,000 already gone, and with frustrations growing at a boiling point, the pressure being applied upon us will force us onto the path of least resistance. How long before we are all gone? If you are an American reading this, did you know that every other industralized country faces declining population? Do you really want the future population growth of the U.S>to come solely from illegal Salvadorean maids? Do you wnat the high-skilled people to move away to China and India and then see your quality of life deteriorate?

U.S. faces decline in skilled workers
New study says the wait for a green card frustrates immigrants.
By Madhusmita Bora, Times Staff Writer
Published August 23, 2007
The only barrier stalling Arun Shanmugam's ascent in the corporate world is a small card that would proclaim him a permanent resident of the United States.
The green card, which isn't green in color, would help him snag the next best opportunity, launch his own company, and enjoy homestead tax rebates.
So, this year the Tampa software engineer joined a queue of more than 300,000 immigrants vying for the coveted card. But a severe backlog is forcing high-skilled workers to question their American dream.
On Wednesday, a Kansas-based private, nonpartisan foundation released a study warning that America could face a sizable reverse brain drain unless the government eases visa restrictions, increases the quota and speeds up the process. The Kauffman Foundation said that there are more than 1-million skilled immigrants including doctors, engineers, and scientists competing for the approximately 120,120 green cards issued each year.
The uncertainty of the process and the imbalance in the demand and supply could trigger a trend of highly trained immigrants returning to their country and moving elsewhere.
"It's the first time in American history that we are faced with the prospect of a reverse brain drain," said Vivek Wadhwa, Wertheim fellow with the Harvard Law School and a co-author of the study.
"There are so many business opportunities in Shanghai and Bangalore, why put up with all the immigration crap?"
Many of the green card applicants are on a six-year H-1 B visa. The non-immigrant work permit keeps them wedded to a single employer. Immigrants who have applied for a green card can continue working on an extended H-1 B visa until the card arrives. But they can't change employers, or start their own companies. Their wait time is open-ended, made longer by a Congress-mandated quota for the visas and severe backlogs in the system.
Frustrated with the system, in the last three to five years, 100,000 highly skilled Chinese and Indian immigrants have returned to their home country, Wadhwa said.
In a fiercely competitive global economy, this is the worst time for such an exodus, experts say.
"Our previous studies document that highly skilled workers accounted for one quarter of all successful high-tech start-ups in the last decade," said Robert Litan, vice president of research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation. "If we send a lot of these people back home, we will lose a disproportionate number of entrepreneurs."
And the ripple affects are already emerging in the Tampa Bay area.
"It's a huge problem," said Ray Weadock, CEO and president of Persystent Technologies. "The guys in Washington don't think much and their initial reaction is this will impact Cisco and Microsoft."
But smaller companies take a bigger hit, because they don't often have the capital to send jobs to where the labor is, Weadock said. Weadock's company, which employs Shanmugam, is toying with the idea of setting up a subsidiary in India.
Companies aren't the only ones chasing the labor market. Schools and universities are also jumping into the wagon. The population of international students in MBA programs across the country continues to dwindle, said Bob Forsythe, dean of the College of Business at University of South Florida.
"And the demand for American business schools to go deliver programs in other countries have increased," he said.
Harvard University and Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management are among a growing number of schools that have a presence in India. At USF, Forsythe's team is negotiating a venture in Romania.
The visa problems here have encouraged governments worldwide to ease visa restrictions in their countries and nab the high skilled workforce.
"There's a lot of mention of Canada," said Chandra Mitchell, an immigration attorney with Tampa-based Neil F. Lewis.
Amar Nayegandhi, a USF graduate and a contract employee with the U.S. Geological Survey, has been waiting for his green card since 2002.
He may soon give up, he said. The long wait has cost him job opportunities, forced upon him a commuter marriage and restricted his economic mobility. His H1-B visa runs out in February, and even though he can extend it and continue awaiting the green card, he's contemplating leaving the country.
"I have friends who have gone back simply frustrated with the setup," he said. "I am asking myself if this is really worth it."
Shanmugam of Persystent Technologies says he, too, will only wait for about a year before considering giving up his spot in the line and heading back to his native India.
"This is not the only place to be anymore," he said. "You can find better opportunities everywhere."
By the numbers
200,000: Employment-based applicants waiting for labor certification in 2006 - the first step in the U.S. immigration process.
50,132: Pending I-140 applications - the second step of the immigration process. That's seven times the total in 1996 of 6,743.
125,421: Estimated applicants residing abroad who were waiting for permanent residency status.
100,000: Estimated number of highly skilled Chinese and Indian immigrants who have returned to their home country in recent years.
Highlights of Kauffman Foundation reports
- Foreign nationals are contributing to one out of four of all the global patents filed in the United States.
- One quarter of all tech companies nationwide and 52 percent of tech companies in the Silicon Valley were founded by immigrants.
- More than 1-million skilled workers and their families (scientists, doctors, engineers, Ph.D. researchers) are waiting for green cards. About 120,0000 green cards are issued each year with a 7 percent limit per country.
-Hundreds of thousands of skilled immigrant workers may get frustrated with the waiting process that could be 6 to 10 years and leave the United States. The reverse brain drain could be critical to Americans corporations and hurt the country's competitiveness in a global economy.
- Immigrant-founded companies produced $52-billion in revenues and employed 450,000 workers in 2006.

Yes, the wording is very important. When I sent the AC21 documentation, it was just a letter explaining employment details and particulars, but when I replied to NOID, they specifically requested "prospects of employment" - and we responded as "this is a full time permanent job and the prospects are good" - which means they see it as future employment.
As long as you have worked for original employer for a good period of time, stick to your skills, have good w2 history, you don't have to worry - you can always show that your prospects are good.
Though Green card if for future employment - the entire process revolves around how best you fit the future employment category - AC21 is one such rule that gives you room and flexibility.
Thanks for your quick response. I might as well ask one more question that's in my mind. Did you go thru the company's attorney or you hired yourself? I really don't trust my company's attorney as they work for the best interest of the company rather then the employees...may not be the norm but mostly its that way.
Could you PM me if you know good attorney's other then Ms Murthy (cause they are expensive)
Thanks.
