I am in the same situation. My I-140, with receipt date of Dec 13, 2006, is still pending with the TSC. Can you give me details of your pending I-140?
I mailed my I-485 and I-765 last May 25. Until now, no receipt date yet.

I'm currently getting everything ready to mail my forms to get a green card through marriage. I've heard that I would have to send an employment verification letter from his boss. But some people say it's optional, I only send it if I want to because he's already got his taxes done proving he can afford to support me.
If I do have to send the letter, do I need anything else along with it as proof? Either to mail them alongside the letter or for the interview?
Any help will be much appreciated. I've heard conflicting stories and don't know what to think.
Thanks!

The Los Angeles Times reports that the President is pushing Senators Schumer and Graham to get their immigration proposal introduced. But many are skeptical the White House is serious.

I have heard it is possible to change employer on 7th year of H1-B, though not immediately. The new employer should file LCA more than 365 days before the H1-B expires. Next time when renewing H1-B it can be renewed with new employer.
Please verify the above thoroughly before taking any step.

Hi there,
I work for one of big 4 consulting companies. Home office based NJ and live in NJ as well. Travel to Client A mon - thurs.
I rolled off from the project at client A and will be starting at client B.
Both Client A & B are in the same city in MA.
1. Will a LCA update be required even if you new client is in the same city/ state ?
2. How long does it take these days to update the LCA ?
3. Like H1 transfer can you start working at the new client on the USCIS receipt # ?
Thank you.

Vivek Wadhwa has a cool new proposal for a visa targeted toward entrepreneurs with great ideas and start up capital to launch new enterprises. Here's some of what he writes in Businessweek: Here's how it would work. Suppose a talented engineer who is not a U.S. citizen has a great idea for a new type of search engine and wants to start a company. This entrepreneur wants to start that company in the U.S., where venture capital markets are the most mature, intellectual property laws are strong, and the talent level is high. It turns out that the would-be founder's...

Me and my Wife's i-485 is pening for last one year. EB3-ROW. (PD May 2006). Currently my wife is working with her EAD. Her employer want to apply for her GC also. She will be falling in the EB2-ROW category.
In this situation if she apply for that and take me as a dependent does it going to hurt my current application process? or she can just process her case.
Please respond very urgent

hi
My current employer 'C' is in the process of filing Labor certification. I have to fill out Form # 9089 and give it back to my employer with past employment specifics.
I left my past employer 'A' on 9/23/2005, though was paid till 9/30. For the next month or so I was at home looking for a job on my own. When I did get successful I approached a consultant 'B' who filed for my H1-B transfer and offered me a appointment letter. We together kept looking for a job till 11/29 when I actually started working. When I got experience letter from these employers they told me that it is from the start of project date that you were on payroll. I am also sure that my employer 'A' did not inform the INS immediately but took about 15-20 days to send a letter after I had left.
My question is what dates should I put on the form, the actual dates or the ones I have on appointment letter

Hows this? L2 + EAD. No pesky LCAs, no looking for clients/consultants who sponsor or transfer H1B.

I have an approved I 140 application and I485 not applied as the dates are not current. I have an opportunity to work for the same company same job profile and job code but in a different city. The new city falls under the same Metropolitan statistical area. Do I still need to re file my perm and I 140 in addition to H1b amendment ?

Hello,
I am on my OPT (started on 5th Jan 2009) currently and am working for a startup company. However, I am told that the company has funds only to support my position for another 2 months or so.
But the company is ready to sponsor my H1B for April 1st this year to help me keep my immigration status. My question is if my H1B application is approved this year but I loose the job before the H1B kicks in (1st October 2009) can the approved H1B be transferred to a new company, if I get another job?
Thanks in advance.

What is the point of publishing dates for people to see if they have no relevance?
If they are just for CIS employees to see... why publish them publicly and confuse the deuce out of the entire immigrant community?
If they are "a statement of goals", why aren't these goals being adhered to?
Why set and publish goals that are are not followed?

This is not tied to immigration but to the savings of some sort...
If this is a dupe post - please ignore.
This should certainly help if the deal is inked and save H1 and L1 holders some money.
PF rules may be tightened to squeeze US expats - Hindustan Times (http://www.hindustantimes.com/PF-rules-may-be-tightened-to-squeeze-US-expats/Article1-588281.aspx)
Excerpt:
If India and the US ink the deal, tens of thousands of Indians working in the US on H1B or L1 visas need not contribute to the US social security schemes and US expatriates need not contribute to an Indian provident fund.

My wife is working as a consultant, her client is ready to give her full time and also ready to do her H1-B transfer. Her H1-B is valid till April 2011 and GC process has not been started yet. Client is hesitant to start GC because they are new to the process.
Questions
-----------
1. Can she take the offer from client company, get H1-B transferred and start GC process with another company X?
2. If that happens can she apply for H1-B extension with client company early next year?
3. Should her PERM application be submitted before April 2010?
Thanks in Advance
