what are the complications of applying to eb2 if there is only 3 year degree bachelor degree? Have a masters degree from Singapore - will that be enough to qualify?
IMO there is a good chance you will qualify for EB2. When doing educational evaluation, you should base your claim on your masters degree. That way you would qualify.

Andrew,
I believe you should be okay if you were not employed during that period. Remember the green card is for future employment.
But for the best advice check with an Attorney before you proceed to the interview and be prepared for questions regarding the gap.
Hope all works out for you.

Hi all, not sure if this has been posted in any other thread, if so, Admin please delete.
I was surprised to get a letter in mail from USCIS today dated March 26th referring my letter sent to White House from IV letter campaign.
Basically it says the letter was forwarded to USCIS from White House and after they researched my case, it is still under name check and my PD is not current yet for a visa. They also included three inserts on fact sheet about name checks-why and how, new memorandum on name checks that has been discussed here and the March/08 visa bulletin showing that my priority date is not current.
Just basic stuff but I wonder if these are being sent to everyone that sent a letter to the President during the campaign. Anyone else received the letter?
Anything on 2 year EAD?

I do not want to renew the advanced payroll, since I do not foresee travel within the next 18 months overseas. Is there a way I can skip the renewal this time around (1-year extension) and renew it the next time? If there is an emergency, I can still go to India and have the Visa-stamped since we have a valid H1/H4 right?
Are there any risks here?
As I read from your post, you are saying that you do not have H1 visa stamped in passport. These days consulates in India are pretty tough and they are issuing 221(g) etc for H1/H4 visa. And you could be denied visa for no fault of yours. It happened to my wife and it took 3 months for the consulate to get the clearance. So think about it. Personally for me AP is a very important document it allows you to travel in case of an emergency.

The passage of the CIR in the Senate is reportedly almost assured. The question remains how much change we will see in the Senate's final bill. One of the agreements which the leaders of Republican and Democrat Senators reached as part of the deal involves the procedural matter that will allow "amendments" on the floor to the CIR proposal which the Senate almost passed when the Senators left for the Easter break in April, 2006. It is thus likely that there may be introduced a flurry of amendments on the floor and a fierce battle on these amendments. Accordingly, the liberal version of the Senate proposal may be substantially compromised before it is enacted into a law this year. We will see the first compromise in the Senate this month before the Senate passes its bill. The second compromise will take place during the Senate-House Conference Committee proceeding after May 2006. It is thus almost certain that the current CIR proposal in the Senate may be substantially toned down and compromised to accomodate the hawkish conservative Senators and members of the House.
Considering the fact that the Senate will procedurally open opportunities for the Senators to introduce amendments on the floor beginning from next week, this may be the last chance for the pro and con lobbysts to make their voices heard and reflected in the Senate's final bill. Such opportunity will include both legal and illegal immigration legislation in the CIR packet.
May be it's time for us(IV) to lobby Senators to incorporate IV Goals into Final CIR bill!

Our 4-H photo club met this (well, yesterday now - it was Monday) evening, and the leader brought her new D70. She knows that I'm interested in DSLRs, so she let me shoot it for about 15 minutes with my CF card. I brought home six NEFs (from about 10 or 11 shots, but I deleted a few in the process of "exposing to the right").
The ergonomics were great from my perspective (of having never touched an autofocus SLR before in my life). After a few minutes I had the basic settings in the menus and the exposure compensation figured out, though I didn't even bother with the built in flash (I put on my Vivitar 285HV for a few shots instead).
After seeing the results of 1600 ISO (the first few were shot on this as I hadn't figured out how to change the setting yet), I don't know why you guys complain about noise so much. This thing at 1600 indoors at night beats my P&S at whatever ISO it uses in overcast daylight! Well, maybe that exaggerates a bit, but certainly not much.
Anyway, I should stick on a photo for everyone to view... This was shot in NEF, converted with the Adobe converter with Photoshop CS, and then received a light Curve to enhance contrast, a warming filter because I wasn't quite happy with the white balanced I converted the file with, and no noise reduction. Oh yeah, I applied a bit of sharpening; if anything, I try to stay on the conservative side there, since I'm not that familiar with telling how much is too much.

I don't think walking in with 485 receipt will work. Call USCIS 800 number and check the status of FP notice, if required open a service request. I'm a july 2 filer, did not receive notice till 10/10 - I called on 10/12 the CSR told me that my FP notice is schedule to be printed and waiting for an appointment with local ASC. In a week time, I received a FP notice, and gonna for FP end of this month. Hope this helps
Hi Saroj,
Thanks for the info. I have not got FP notice and it has been over 4 months from I-485 receipt date. Do you think ASC will entertain FP request if I just walk in with I-485 receipt?

they are decreasing from 140,000 to 90,0000....
note that even though this bill is just not good enough for relief that fact is that the number of GC available to a backlogged country like india goes up about 150% under the new 190,000...this does not include the 14,000 additional numbers from the MBS.
Why?
only for backlog, so no EB1 (28.6%) and no EB2 except india and china. also country quota increased to 10%
so available numbers eg india increase from 5,600 to 9,000 (+14,000 MBS)
i put up a detailed calculation for this earlier on somewhere
search for it if you are really interested.

Hello all,
i could not get answer for this question. for all ppl filed AOS between 2nd july and 17th august, will they process GC application based on PD or RD ?
Person A : PD august 2005 and I-485 filed on : 15 th july
Person B : PD august 2006 and I-485 filed on : 2 nd july
who will get GC first ? Person A or person B ?
thanks in advance.
Based on what they did in July Visa bulletin It can be anything .But as per rule quoted by my Lawyer.
USCIS will retrogress the Dates in October say they made May 2002. In that case Neither A or B will get AOS
Now say in January 2008 the PD was made September 2005, In that case Person A will get first
But If in January 2008 the PD was made September 2006,In that case Person B can get it first because his Recieve date is first

You are OK per Q25 of USCIS FAQ. Hope this help.
Because, if my applications(I-140 & I-485) reached today(Friday) I am safe as I have included the old filing fees for I-140. If the receipt date is Monday(July 30th), then USCIS would expect me to pay the new fees for I-140. Hence my concern.

Depends on whether your I-140 is approved or still pending.
Here what I think.
Lets assume your I-140 is approved.
Remember GC is based on future employment.
Now if AILF wins lawsuite and USCIS accept your application you will get receipt date of July 2007. Your I-485 is not going to get processed in 6 months. It is surely not going to get adjudicated in 6 months. By Jan - Feb 2008 you will be able to invoke AC21 and change your intent and still be able to get your I-485 adjudicated. This all you can do working for a company other than the one who filed your I-140 / 485.
Only risk here is that if USCIS processes your case in first 6 months and send you a RFE for a current Employment verification letter / paystubs. But again chances of this thing happening is rare and remote given the numbers of I-485 petitions they will receive in July 2007.
my 2 cents.
This is my personal opinion and Its always better to get an advise from a good immigration lawyer.

My I-485/I-140 were filed on Jul 2, 2008 (I-140 approved in 9/2007). I possess an EAD valid till Sep 2010 and AP valid till Aug 2009. I lost my job (H1B) in late January. I have a family emergency compelling me to travel to India for a week (starting Saturday next week 04/04/2009). Will there be any problem in terms of using my AP to re-enter the U.S? An early reply would be appreciated. Thank You very much in advance.
P.S: I do not have a job yet.
If you list your skillset maybe someone would be able to help you as soon as you return. By the way, most of the members knows a tons of rectruiters and websites.Maybe in the worst case you can tell that you are going to be interviewed by some firms

The H-2B non-agricultural temporary worker program allows U.S. employers to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary non-agricultural jobs. As of 07/16/10, USCIS receipted 30,154 petitions, toward the 47,000 beneficiaries target for the second half of the fiscal year. This count includes 28,539 approved and 1,615 pending petitions.
There is a statutory numerical limit, or �cap,� on the total number aliens who may be issued a visa or otherwise provided H-2B status (including through a change of status) during a fiscal year. Currently, the H-2B cap set by Congress is 66,000 per fiscal year, with 33,000 to be allocated for employment beginning in the 1st half of the fiscal year (October 1 - March 31) and 33,000 to be allocated for employment beginning in the 2nd half of the fiscal year (April 1 - September 30). Any unused numbers from the first half of the fiscal year will be made available for use by employers seeking to hire H-2B workers during the second half of the fiscal year. There is no �carry over� of unused H-2B numbers from one fiscal year to the next.
The H2B visa is available to employers of foreign workers not working in the agricultural field. This visa is only available for work that is temporary in nature. For H2B purposes, that means:
* Recurring seasonal need;
* Intermittent need;
* Peak-load need; and
* One time occurrence.
The employer must also prove that there are no unemployed US workers willing or able to do the work. This is established through the state's employment agency using a labor certification process. This process requires a recruitment campaign, including advertising in a local newspaper for available temporary workers. The duration of the visa is limited to the employer's need for the temporary workers. The maximum authorized period is one year. However, the employer may extend the duration of the visa up to three years -- but with a very close watch from the immigration authorities.

Just go to online address change and do it for all your petitions.
On another note, is it true that people are getting RFEs when they do address change? Has anyone faced this?
What I have heard is that if your new address is 200+ miles away from the old address, you are most certainly going to get a EVL RFE. One of my friends' recently changed his address within the same city and never got RFE.

Hi,
1) If I take the H1b extenstion for three years (based on my pending I-485) and let say after one year, I start using my EAD with a new employer and my previous employer revokes my H1B....Will I be able to get back on H1B if my I-485 petition get denied for any reason. All I am trying to see if anything happens to my I-485 petition, will I be able to go back on H1B from EAD.
If your 485 is denied, you will not be eligible for any more H-1B time until you have spent one full year outside the US. You have already used your full 6 years and are only entitled to extensions now because you have an approved I-140 and a backlogged priority date. If these conditions apply even after a 485 denial, you could regain H-1B status, however it depends on the grounds of the 485 denial.
2) I have been reading in the forums that USCIS is giving hard time for the H1B extensions. Any experiences on this?
I haven't had a problem with H-1B extensions
3) How much is the H1B renewal fees?
It depends on whether it is an extension with the same employer or if it is a new employer. The fees are:
$320 I-129 fee
$500 Anti-Fraud fee for first H-1B for this employer and employee, or first extension
$1500 Training fee for first H-1B for this employer and employee, or $750 if under 25 employees
