Hopefully your attitude is a little better towards actual potential customers, who are business people, who need marketing help in the specific industry that you are in.

Hi Coolpal,
Did they ask you for the client letter also in your case? In my case the end client(TARP Funded) wont give any letter to contractors. Hope things will be better for you soon.
Thanks.

Hi
Did anyone go to San Jose ASC at Charcot drive for their Biometrics?
I would appriciate if you can share your experience, in trems of, what time of the day did you go, was it crowded, how long did you wait, are the kids allowed inside, ease of the bio metrics process, have you been there before your actual appointment date, if yes what time of the day did you go and how soon were you done.
Also if your LUD changed after the appointment and did you call the FBI number to verify whether the prints were right?
Thanks!

alright..I came back without any problem.
Immigration at POE (Dulles airport) was breeze, first officer said, "oh..you have parole letter".
he checked something in the system and asked me to go inside..
Took baggage..went into customs...where they sent me into another room.
CBP officer took the AP..felt bad that I have been waiting since 2007 for GC..in < 5 mins, stamped and said, good luck..you are done.
Thats it.
Welcome back and thanks for posting the conclusion of the thread.
Hope all is well on home front.

....but this is a public forum and I can ask whatever question I want to ask....
For the same reason, I thought I can answer anything.
Now I understand. the law is for only people who ask questions.

You can get the home loan from India. I bought a property couple of years back, that time SBI gave me a very good rate. You can start the application processing from their US location, they will help you with the application process. For the paperwork they will need the details about your job, and for the loan security you'll need to have someone in India who owns a property.
Personally, I wouldn't go to ICICI because I had a very bad experience with them. Also, if you are buying an apartment make sure the builder has all the approvals from the governments and from the banks. All the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same with me. Mine is also H1 extension with VSC.
My notice date is 10/31/08 and RD is 10/28/08
Hello Everyone,
My employer filed for my H1-B extension and I have already received the Receipt with "Received date" and "Notice Date" of October 21, 2008 and October 24, 2008 respectively." My case is in Vermont Center.
When I do the case search on USCIS.gov site, it says:
"Your case can not be found at this time in Case Status Online. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, you can either call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283, or you can send an e-mail to uscis.webmaster@dhs.gov."
I found at least one forum member in similar situation. Are there anyone else out there with the similar situation. Just trying to see if this is a unique issue or its happening to few more people. Please drop in a line if you are in a similar situation. We would appreciate it a lot.
Thanks
PS: Worthy to mention the numbers and email listed on the error message leads you no where. I wonder why they even have it there.

My I-140 clearly shows that it's approved in Eb2 adv Degrees or Exceptional ability category. My lawyer and Employer both have agreed that USCIS has made mistake. in Infopass they created an SR last week with regards to this and there is no response.

Hi,
I need some URGENT HELP here. My I-485 was denied and so has been MTR filed by my attorney. To give you a quick background of my case:
I-140 approved in 2007
I-1485 in August 2007
Received RFE in May 2009. The RFE had two parts to it that are as follows:
Part 1: Request for Evidence for Birth
Part 2: When I filed the application, the following question was left unanswered by mistake:Have you ever, in or outside United States been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, fined or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance, excluding traffic violations
When i sent the response, i included birth certificates for wife and I but somehow both my attorney and I did not notice that we failed to answer the question - the second part of the RFE. Because of which my I-485 case got denied.
Within 3 days of receving the denial notice, I , through my attorney filed a MTR that included a signed declaration that I have never been arrested. Today I received an email update from USCIS that my MTR has been denied. I will know more once I get the reasons for denial.
What are my options here? Is there a way this case can be fixed and brought back on track or am I in a no-go situation? Please advise on the next steps.
Thank you in advance to those who respond.
How can you and your attorney be so careless?
If you are no longer on H1B, you have become illegal and will need to go back. This is very sad.
But my question to attorneys on this forum is this:
How can people file a complaint against attorney who makes such a mistake. I have heard you can do it in state Bar.
But please explain the process, pros and cons. And if this really works. A detailed response will be appreciated to help people like one above who paid money to a lawyer thinking he will work professionaly and diligently on the case. However increasingly I find careless attorney cases on the forum.
I want to also know what you think about this and how one should complain.
Thank you.

"Unless you *are* a US citizen, you must choose the second option."
I think you have not read my question clearly. I suggest you read it before answering. I have not seen where the USCIS website asks for pending case numbers if we choose second option. I hope someone who has done this online can shed some light on this.

Has anyone succefully entered reciept numbers?

My I-140 and I-485 also has different A numbers. I had 2 more approved I-140s which has different A numbers as well. How and when will get consolidated to a single file?
Gurus who have more insight into this process, please enlighten us.
Thanks -
I think its ok to have different A#'s except when you are trying to get your I-485 adjudicated and you want to use the earliest PD from your multiple I-140's.
I think its easier for USCIS to consolidate your I-140's and 485's into a single A-file
if they all have the same A number
There is no easy way to consolidate all your I-140s and link them to your I-485 - get infopass, contact IO, get congressperson or senator involved, write to the ombudsman etc people have tried various means and no one knows what clicked for them - but
something does work!
Most of the times they will accept your request only if you are current (according to your earliest PD - if you have multiple I-140s)

:) when you are in India, you are NOT on H1B status.
So there is nothing to stop you to work from home in India, for 5 months or 5 years :)
The paystubs during this period is also irrelevant to USCIS regarding proof of maintaining H1 status, since you were NOT. What they care at your re-entry in H1B will be existence of valid employment in USA at that time, and proof regarding this.
So you can apply for H1 extension, get it approved, go to India, work from there for any length, return to USA based on your H1B (it has to be valid when you return, plus you may need a valid visa stamp in your passport). There are no issues.
But be careful if you have a pending 485 petition. Long stays outside of USA can be interpreted as lack of immigration intent. You better have a good explanation if you stay outside of USA for lengthier periods, with 485 pending.
Not exactly correct. Once, he left the US for a long period of time (except vacation) the employer should remove him from US payroll and terminate the H1B. This is the very legal way. If employer want to receive employee's service outside the US, the employer should "outsource" the work to him. In this case, both the employee and employer must follow export-import rules between two countris and pay appropirate tax in both countries.
After employee left the US, if employer continously keeps him in US payroll using his H1B authorization for work eligibility, and receives his service or work from abord; it is the violation of LCA work place. If USCIS knows that the employer will be in trouble.

i dont think changing lawyers will prevnt USCIS from auditing/reviewing your case... but will your lawyer release all the required documents to your new lawyer.???
anyway best of luck!
I'm EB3-ROW and at the last stage of I-485 processing. Just waiting for the bulletin to tell me I'm current. Two weeks ago, I found out my lawyer has been blacklisted. Just like Fragomen. Apparently my lawyer performed "too many miracles."
Now I wish to change lawyers to avoid risk of RFEs, denial, etc. Should I do it? What is involved in the switch of lawyers? Just a simple G28? Any risks involved?
Would appreciate any opinions on this matter. Thank you.

???like a week before?
My wifes date was sept 13, mine was 15th... I never received the original copy of FP.. Howevr my lawyer received it and she send a me copy. She told me the copy should be fine... when I went there on the 13th the security guy wouldnt allow me saying my date was sept 15th and that I didnt have original copy :rolleyes: I said my lawyer told me that a copy should be ok. He said your lawyer is not incharge of doing FP. :mad: I said I want to talk to an officer... There was an officer who was watching this... he told the guard to let me in... After that it was all smooth sailling... was done with my FP in about 15 mins... Received approval notice on 16th (Yes 3 days!!!) Had my gc on 18th!:D My wife who is the secondary got 2 LUDs on her 485 but no approval... I guess she is stuck in the name check... what is strange is that most ppl who have their approvals have their EADs and APs rejected! In my case however they send both last week... over a month after 485 approval :rolleyes:
