Not playing a spoil sport, but if you look at the tracking details, it says:
"THE RECEIVER HAS MOVED. UPS ATTEMPTING TO LOCATE RECEIVER TO COMPLETE DELIVERY, NO DELIVERY WAS MADE / THE ADDRESS HAS BEEN CORRECTED. THE DELIVERY HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED" :confused:
Looks like Gonzalez packed his bags and moved to his home country :D :D
Funny? See below:

DoS is going to waste visas.. Either they are doing it knowingly or stupidly.
But the underlying fact stays same... They can conservative all they want..
What I don't understand is their rationale in being hellbent on not understanding ground
realities.
If they waste, I think we should sue them being racists because the beneficiaries are all Asians..
I think you are making too much out of it. All they have said is 2987 per country. Below they do mention it flows from E1 to E2 to E3. Do you seriously think that they are going to say exactly how much the spill over is?

Any response to that ? My wife's EAD is expiring on Oct 22nd , I have e-filed for her EAD renewal , got the receipt and the FP notice promptly, but after Sep 03 FP, no status update and I have seen people applying after me ( paper filed ) getting CPO emails :( , so can she work on the receipt or not ? any pointers ?
Just to add, her EAD renewal is pending at NSC but the FP notice came from MSC, hope NSC can access the biometrics from MSC ( heard some cases where once center could not access the other center's biometrics )

Hi everyone,
I received an RFE for my I-140 application from the Nebraska Service Center around the requirement for my Master's degree. I had completed all the necessary course work in Spring 2003 and have official letters from the director of the dept stating that I have completed my course requirements and will graduate in 2003. As luck would have it - there were major administrative delays and I finally got my degree in 2006.
My lawyer is concerned that in responding to the RFE - I might get a denial since the requirement was a Master's degree. But I have letters and on my official transcripts - it clearly shows that the last course work I attended in school was in 2003.
I am confused and feeling helpless since I am afraid that I will get a denial and will need to restart my entire process from scratch.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and gotten past it OR does someone have any ideas on how to get around this and come up with an RFE response that will get me the I-140 approval (EB2)?
What makes it worse is that I already have the AP and EAD documents for myself and my spouse approved in hand.......and am hoping that I do not go through this ordeal all over again - this is the 3rd time I am going through the entire process - the first two times was because of company layoffs.

If I were you I wont try and get confrontational with the employer HR or attorneys as
you will need their help in the future. They cant "sell" your approved labor(as in the past), it belongs to you and you only. Your priority date would be the day you filed your labor so that doesnt change. Just keep politely pestering them with case info give then reasonable (or more than reasonable time) before you give up. Sorry I cant be much of help here and no unfortunately cant post any screenshot only the HR and attorney has access to the system. Good luck!
Thanks for the good words. My patience is wearing thin as this has been going on for since the start of the year and I have seen PERM applications filed later than mine getting approved. My concern has to do more with the employer keeping me in the dark about the outcome and at the time H1 expires just lets me GO citing rejection or audit!! You can call me paranoid as the filing hasnt materialized and me in the 7th year just adds to the distress.

eb3retro,
Did u change employers on EAD? or H1b transfer?
Also when you renewed EAD & AP:
1. Did you do it yourself? or did u have your new employer do it?
2. Did u get any RFE's when you renewed your EAD/AP well after you switched employers. (I assume you changed addresses in this process).
thx

Did the office say that you are granted visa and the passport will be mailed. I know in Mumbai consulate, you can collect the stamped-passport the same evening.
NewDelhi consulate will have an email address, email them and check. otherwise if you are there in the city visit the consulate and enquire.
Just my thoughts.All the best.
THe process has changed the passport are now delivered the next day between 4:30 PM to 5:00 PM. Mumbai consulate no longer delivers the passport the same day of interview.

Yeah I think it makes sense to fill I9 form because that way you make it clear that your intent moving forward is to be on AOS rather than H1. In case you dont do it then you are on dual status with H1 being primary status so in that case it is open to wide interpretation of CIS officers to classify it as out of status or in status.
Read the earlier posts. The person is not working. How will you fill I-9 when you have stopped working?

have a US visa stamped and has not expired, they will not let you board a plane to UK.
If you have GC, then there is no need for transit visa. If you are on AP, then you will need transit visa.
I think in the 50s and 60s, an Indian passport holder could enter the UK based on holding a commonwealth passport. Wonder why that policy changed? ;)
do we need a UK visa even if we have a valid stamped US passport?

There's thousands of threads that talk about porting. I don't think there's any need to re-iterate those topics again.
Specially from the crappy source you had provided.
Sachin, aren't you the OP of this thread. Since you have already read those thousands of posts why ask the question in the first place and then if someone is quoting a source and you are not willing to listen, then ignore the post. Why would you go on and start a fist fight.
I think moderators should just remove such posts.

Guys..i have noticed that so many other members has already been complained about the getting Red dots for no reason...i got the red for this post for just a spell mistake. This is too much and IV has to do some thing about this. Otherwise people will afraid or not be willing to post their opinions here...
All the people who crib about red dots: There is nothing IV can do about it.
This is a feature of the forum software.Actuallly I suggest IV kickout anyone who cribs about red dots are someone using foul language in PMs/comments.If some one uses foul language in forum posts then admins can warn them or block them. It is not possible if they do it in comments.
Keep the eye on the ball guys. If you see all the bullshit the IV admins bare with some other guy showing up every few weeks asking questions as if IV Core is getting rich off of the contributions. And some other guy shows up with a great plan (no sarcasm intended) asking CORE to make his thread sticky instead of keeping the thread on top by bumping it every few hours or so.Then when the core doesn't respond to their idea/request to make the thread sticky start abusing them. They take all that in stride and still continue to pour their hearts into something they believe in.
Now here are people so worried that they got a red dot and need the grievance be addressed. If not they will be afraid to post. If all it takes some one to stop you from posting your ideas is to give a red dot, how can any progress be made?

The reason for these kinds of unreasonable RFEs is simple - Improving the US economy; one RFE at a time.
In my understanding there is no rule or guidelines regarding usage of same photos more than once. The only restriction is that the photo should not be more than 6 months old. If I remember correctly, I have used the same photos for various purposes like Visa, EAD, AP etc.
When my AP came up for renewal my attorney asked to get new set of photos.
In addition my cousin's EAD application got RFE'ed to get new set of photos even though the photos were recent. The reason given was that they had used same photos to renew their visa few months back (less than 6 months).
Is USCIS coming up some new rule about photos being 'unused' ?? The guidelines say that photos should be recent (taken in last 6 months). However nowhere I do I see that the photos should be 'unused' previously ?
Anyone else had same experience ?

Hello,
We were current in the July bulletin (PD Dec 04, EB3 India) but did not apply for AP along with 485. I sent the AP application on Aug 16, after over-the-phone assurances from USCIS that I can apply with old fees as long as the application is post marked before Aug 17.
The application was not delivered for some reason on the 17, although I sent next-day express, but on the 20th. The application was returned citing incorrect fees.
I read in a thread on IV that such cases can be addressed to a specific officer, with clear instructions to the mailroom that they should not open/process the application. But inspite of a long search, I could not find that thread again.
Could someone please point me to the correct thread, or to any information about this exceptional process ? Can I speak directly to this officer ?
Thanks for your help.
I also my filed my 765 and 131(AP) on 15th August and they received it on 16th August. My 485 filed by attorny on 12 th July. I my slef applied EAD & 131.
on 12th Sep uscis refused my file 765 & 131 and sent it to me to my home address as I filed it.
on the same day I type a covering letter in think blue color paper - mentioning .
ATTN: CRU Supervisor - Case Improperly Rejected for Fees.
And I explained in the covering letter the amount of the fees paid and the date the case was received.
When you recieve your file back there should be fedex receipt with the file . don't tocuh any thing just add the cover letter - put the refused papers in one envelop and after you sealed the envlop - attach the covering letter on the envolop put them together in fedex cover and send it again.
I have sent my package on 12th evening it self on the same day when I received it. with over night option that has been received by the uscis on 13th Sep and - I got the receipt notices on 21st - the receipt date they mentioned on the receipt is 13th July, which is actuly receipt date for 485.
Best of luck

Dear Friends,
It is great to see so much momentum in writing letters to elected officials. May I suggest that those impacted by retrogression/backlogs take an extra effort to articulate the issues and focus on differentiating it from the H1-B issues.
Here are some ways to frame 'thought provoking' discussions regarding retrogression:
Start off by stating in your letter that you are a non-US Citizen and non-Permanent Resident, currently in the Legal Immigration Queue!!
- In a country where there can be no legal bias on the basis of one's country of origin, why do we tolerate artificial quotas and restrictions during the legal immigration process based on country of origin?
- In an economy known for its dynamism and pace, where meritrocracy and hard work alone matter in principle, partly shored up by its hire and fire policy, granting Green Cards expeditously only enables them to more fully participate in the dynamic economy.
- In a country known for constant innovation and change, where the Top 10 firms of 50 years ago are so very different from the Top 10 firms of today, not enabling value-added immigration by highly skilled workers will only prevent such exponential innovation in the next 50 years.
- In a global economy where knowledge work can be done at any place where you have high speed networks, delays in granting Green Cards to highly skilled workers within the US only risks them and their high tax-paying jobs moving to other countries; including India, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore etc..
- From a public policy perspective, the time delay effect of not implementing a forward-looking policy in this regard will only inhibit economic growth because good ideas, able workers and creative capital finds its natural level over time. If the unreasonable backlogs continue for a foreseeable future, it is the US economy that will suffer in the long term because people and ideas will find a welcome home in other countries.
- Seeking resolution to the retrogression issue is neither a claim of entitlement or social promotion. It is requesting fairness, equity and reasonableness for those that respected the law and sought legal immigration through hard work and economic value-addition.
- Recapturing unused visa numbers does not create a net addition to the immigrant worker pool. In fact, it only creates a more mobile workforce, that can seek higher paying jobs, and in return contribute through taxes and social security.
- Ignoring the retrogression issue, would at one level, amount to gross injustice to citizens of countries that are democratic allies of the US.
Let us list out factual, cause-effect statements of non-resolution and hope that Congressional staffers will present these 'bullet points' in front of lawmakers.
I would urge everyone to send a personal email/ message.
1. Start off the email/message saying that you would like to share your pain points and perspectives so that the lawmakers can better learn about your interests, and that you hope that they will be sympathetic enough to come to the aid of legal high tax paying workers, and their respective employers.
2. Be frank and honest about the pains that you face due to retrogression - e.g. wife unable volunteer/seek work, unable to travel to other countries, unable to seek higher paying jobs, unable to grow professionally, unable to plan personal lives and investments, unable to live the American Dream, unable to move across State lines, unable to quell spouse's frustrations in being under 'house arrest', unable to feel the true freedom of this country, unable to maximize your value to the economy ... and other struggles and sacrifices
3. Take each of the above points and customize it to fit your needs
4. Close the email with a note to the effect that you would like to constantly remind the lawmakers that in their constituency, in this great democracy, in this meritrocratic economy, the current policies have created a slew of issues and hardships on professional and personal fronts due to the state of limbo.
5. Remind the audience that retrogression is an issue of 'backlogging' and is separate from the H1-B issue.
6. Remind them that not long ago, the Civil Rights movement started on the rather simple premise of ensuring that each and every man, woman and child in this country could live free and keep this nation free and make this a better world. The need for legal immigrants of the 21st century is no different in that you have a class of artificially segregated society that is unable to break free of its shackles of artificial quotes and arbitrary waiting times ... for no fault or folly of the person except that they dared to dream that they can live the Great American Dream.
7. Seeking resolution is not something to be ashamed or afraid about, and it definitely is not about 'guest workers not wanting to go back'. There is a legal process for guest workers to seek permanent residency and as applicants in the process, you are only seeking fair, judicious and expeditious resolution to backlogs and artificial 'hold backs'. This is a nation of immigrants and if one went back three to four generations, you would find stories of brave, bold believers that sought out the New World. Legal immigration is the modern Ellis Island. An entrance to the land of the brave, the land of the free.
Please, please take a moment to send out messages so that this features on their radar. Keep the messages professional, yet personable. Don't harrass or 'name call' anyone or any constituent in the messages. Our job should be to highlight the pain point, let us leave the resolution in their capable hands.
There are 1000's of members in IV. If each member seriously committed to sending just 1 message, chances are that we would be reaching ALL the elected members.
Remember, you can come back here and rant and rave as much as you want; or pontificate or predict about the issues. None of that makes a difference as much as your ability to challenge current beliefs and turn the tide in your favor through constant, consistent communication to lawmakers.
It's your turn... with the elections coming to close tomorrow, NOW is the time to set things right. Go ahead, please, I beg each one of you, make a commitment to send A Personal Message of Pain(AMAW)
Obviously
P.S. I would not recommend the 'Message A Week' from one person. I meant to say, if each of us took time to send 1 message each, over the next couple of weeks, together, we would end up having at least 1 message a week from this constituent body reach lawmakers and their offices. Please DO NOT flood them with messages every week, from the same person. This would waste their time and not be respectful of their attention. Again, just 1 message per person with all the points in there, would be helpful.
It is great to see so much momentum in writing letters to elected officials. May I suggest that those impacted by retrogression/backlogs take an extra effort to articulate the issues and focus on differentiating it from the H1-B issues.

There is a legal process for guest workers to seek permanent residency and as applicants in the process, you are only seeking fair, judicious and expeditious resolution to backlogs and artificial 'hold backs'. This is a nation of immigrants and if one went back three to four generations, you would find stories of brave, bold believers that sought out the New World. Legal immigration is the modern Ellis Island. An entrance to the land of the brave, the land of the free.
Please, please take a moment to send out messages so that this features on their radar. Keep the messages professional, yet personable. Don't harrass or 'name call' anyone or any constituent in the messages. Our job should be to highlight the pain point, let us leave the resolution in their capable hands.
There are 1000's of members in IV. If each member seriously committed to sending just 1 message, chances are that we would be reaching ALL the elected members.
Remember, you can come back here and rant and rave as much as you want; or pontificate or predict about the issues. None of that makes a difference as much as your ability to challenge current beliefs and turn the tide in your favor through constant, consistent communication to lawmakers.
It's your turn... with the elections coming to close tomorrow, NOW is the time to set things right. Go ahead, please, I beg each one of you, make a commitment to send A Personal Message of Pain(AMAW)
Obviously
P.S. I would not recommend the 'Message A Week' from one person. I meant to say, if each of us took time to send 1 message each, over the next couple of weeks, together, we would end up having at least 1 message a week from this constituent body reach lawmakers and their offices. Please DO NOT flood them with messages every week, from the same person. This would waste their time and not be respectful of their attention. Again, just 1 message per person with all the points in there, would be helpful.

Not to question you or something, my understanding is that, you can file a 7th year extn based on I-140 .. Has the rule changed?
Hi,
One can file for a 3-year H-1B extension but only after I-140 is approved. In this instant case, the person does not have an I-140 even filed/pending because he is at the PERM stage. No, the law has not changed in RE: h-1b extensions through I-140.
Best Regards,

I signed a I-9 form in 2005. At that time, I indeed was on a marriage based EAD because I had an I-485 pending, which later I withdrew and went for H1B. Since then, nobody talked to me about changing the I-9 (I should have thought about it though). However, I provided them with a H1B copy when it was issued.
Since HR mentioned that my EAD expired and they needed a new one, it is clear that they were not refering to the old EAD (marriage based I-485), since that one expired in 2006. So somehow the lawyers, to whom I gave a copy of the EAD last year (they requested it), forwarded the EAD to HR.
Of course HR can change my status in their records now (by renewing the I-9?), but I am worried about the damage is done already and my H1B is invalidated. I don't know how I can find that out.
However, as I said, I did not sign any I-9 to confirm the H1B status, neither I did for the EAD (employment based I-485 pending). Given this circumstance, do I need to re-validate my H1B? I guess HR should have asked me to complete a new I-9 for the H1B. I am thinking USCIS colects the I-9's periodically so that they know how I worked, am I correct?
