These are fun and hot summer days for us Immigration lawyers filing H1B cases (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html). As employers are starting to hire again, we are faced with the challenges of the new Labor Condition Application System, iCert.
The Labor Condition Application is a document which must be certified by the US Department of Labour and it an integral part in the H-1B applications. This document details the terms and conditions of employment, details of the employer, the work profile, rate of salary, prevailing salary (it means the lowest salary that can be paid to a h-1b visa holder) and the location where the h-1b holder will work. As of July 1, 2009 all LCA applications must be done via the icert system (http://icert.doleta.gov/)
In the past week or so many LCA cases came back with denial notices. The notices had the following language:
Reason for Denial: Section C.12 of this application contains an obvious inaccuracy. The Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) value entered in Section C.12 of the ETA Form 9035E could not be verified by the CNPC as a valid nine-digit FEIN assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In order for the employer to overcome the issue identified on the denial determination for any future LCAs submitted using this exact FEINThe solution according to AILA for correcting an LCA denial when DOL states it cannot verify the FEIN is to provide FEIN documentation to the LCA Helpdesk in Chicago. This morning, DOL revised the FEIN-based iCERT denial notice, and it contains information on what documents to send via email to DOL or by fax. We hope this will resolve the problem and the unnecessary delays as the system takes almost a week to process a regular case. We will keep you posted.

All,
My PD is 11/2003 and my case was transfered to PA backlog center, I have not heard anything since then.
My employer wants to call the Senators and Congressmen to see if they can expedite this process.
Could you please provide some suggestions on:
1. What should the employer tell to the law makers?
2.How will the law makers help me?
3. Do you have any fax/email templates?
4. Any other suggestions?
Thank you all for your help.

Guys,
Has anyone experienced this?
EB3-I
PD - Nov. 2005
EAD/AP RD - July 11th, 2008
EAD/AP Notice Date - July 18th, 2008
EAD/AP approved - Aug. 18th, 2008
I just received EADs for me and my spouse and the validity is only 1 year! Aren't we (people whose PDs are retrogressed) supposed to receive EADs with 2 years validity?
Did you filed 140 & 485 concurrently?? this is also one of the uscis check that you shouldn't filed be concurrently...
Gurus,Correct me if i am wrong..

Can you at least produce the extension receipt at the embassy? Is your job title IT Consultant? If the answers are no and yes, personally I would not risk it. Of course this is nothing more than a personal opinion. My H-1B expires in April. I waited for the past 3 months and got my extension approved so I'm going back to China this month.

Does anyone know if we need any special visa for working in Canada if you have a US GC?
One of my relative did work in Vancouver, Canada with his GC. He got his work permit at Canadian port of entry. Anyway this was long back, so please do your research, rules might have changed since then.

Hi,
I lost my jon w/big software consultancy. I found another project and then applied for H1-B transfer with Indian consulting company. Its been almost 1 month since new company have filed for H1-B transfer and renewal (my H1-B was expring on July 6th, 2009).
so far, i've not received any H1-B recipt. I'm worried about it. I'm also getting married in the last w/e of Nov, 2009. Is it a good idea to file for Premimum processing.
Thanks,
Rajeev
First, your attorney needs to call USCIS and ask if they received your application and get a receipt number. Then, you can file a form I-907 to upgrade it to premium processing. Moreover, you cannot start working for a company until you get a receipt notice, so this could cause issues to you incase you already started working. Have your attorney contact USCIS asap and track where your application packet is.

It is mentioned by many that PD should be current at the time of GC approval. Is that right?
I know people from India who got their GC approved when their PD is not current.
One can check this easily in looking for I-485 approvals to people from India who submitted their applications concurrently in EB2 category after say april 2004. Disregard the cases which got approved in July 2007. Still there are many cases remaining invalidating the 'rule'!

1. Question regarding my I-94 form...
I have one which I got when entered US, 4 yrs back which is expired and after that I got new ones with each H1B application extension.
Should I send all of them or just the latest one? or the one i got while entering (Expired one)
2. Is it possible to travel on old AP While applying for EAD and AP renewal?
Thanks,

Interesting. The Chair of the Senate's Immigration Subcommittee is sounding pretty confident that an immigration plan will be signed by the President before 2009 is over.

wanna_immigrate,
Your post from yesterday was denigrating a certain set of people. A number of our users also complained about that post.
Please do understand that we do not want to have any post that offend other people. Otherwise the lawmaker's staff and the media folks who visit our forums, will assume that our organization and members stand for such a stance.
So as per our posting guidelines shown at the top, we were forced to delete it.

The news from CIS brings joy for a lot of the IV members.
So, express thanks by donating as much as you can for IV to continue to work for our cause.
Comparing with the attorney & medical expenses, the donation to IV is a small amount, and it will be worth a lot more than you can imagine.
BTW, I just donated $100 from Google checkout.

Hi
USCIS mails are NOT forwarded.
When you update the USCIS about address change.You will get confirmation ( may take 30days ) that the address is changed to ur new address.
If the EAD is approved before confirmation the EAD will go to the old address and returned to USCIS.Then Again you need to ask them to resend.
Now a days Iam seeing may people loosing EAds in mail.Even I lost the EAd in the mail because of address change and it never reached new/old/USCIS. I had to apply for replacement card. ( I don't want to scare You).
May be you go to local USCIS office and check what address they have on file.
Thanks

She has the F1 stamped on the passport which is valid until Dec 2009 I think. She is finishing much before that. Does it mean she will not be able to reenter on either F1 visa or the EAD?
