Anything we can do to complain and bring attention to the EB3 processing delays at Nebraska service center?
As it was they were moving very slow and processing dates have been stuck in Jan 07 for past couple of months. Plus results show hardly any approvals this year so far especially for retrogressed countries.
To top it now a few people having spoken with nebraska are reporting that only 140's (EB3...this doesn't seem to apply to EB2 for some reason) with current priority dates are being processed. That they will only start processing again in May 08. Who's to say come May 08, they won't go back to square one and say "oh we're still processing jan 07 and we will only move a few days each month when it comes to processing dates"
Which would be fine if people weren't waiting, depending on the 140 approvals to a) keep their H1b status 2) go back on h1b status 3) change jobs.
I think this is totally unfair to do this to EB3 category. Why are they picking on EB3 category like this?
Is there anything that can be done?

I was wondering if an attorney or any user with knowledge / past experience with I-485 MTR can help me understand the status of my MTR.
My story in short:
* EB2 I-485 was applied in July 07
* I -140 was approved in Aug 07 timeframe
* No change in employer, etc. Life as usual.
All of a sudden:
* Received I-485 denial on July 30, '09. No RFE no NOID. PD = Nov 06. Reason stated: underlying I-140 was not valid.
* Obvious USCIS error. I-140 is alive n kicking. So applied for MTR on Aug 14.
* Convinced my attorney to request for expedite based on USCIS error. Got a letter from TSC that the expedite was accepted on Sept 11. Attorney said I should hear in a weeks time, but the letter said within 45 days!
* On Sept 25 there was an LUD on my I-485. Status of MTR still = initial review.
* Got impatient today and called USCIS. Managed to get to level II. The courteous rep told me that on Sep 24 my I-485 was reopened for reconsideration. Online it still says 'denied'.
She also mentioned that the MTR has not been approved yet. Also that she could see a lot of activity going on with my case and someone has been assigned to it, which according to her was a good thing. God only knows what is 'good' per USCIS.
I know it will take ages for the GC, but at least the AP was coming to good use. Now I'm stuck w/o a stamped visa and unable to make business trips either. Can someone share their thoughts on what happens next, if all turns out good with my application.
Sorry for my long post... Thanks in advance for your time.

I have applied for my H1 extension in July 2010 and still waiting for the approval. My in-laws are visiting the US in dec and i am sponsoring their visit. Should my H1B be approved before they appear for the Visa interview or should the H1 receipt notice be enough? Please let me know.

My employer will not withdraw my I-140. Should I still go ahead with AC21 or should I just do change of address with USCIS?
I will be starting my new job pretty soon. Any useful suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!
Samcam
Its not necessary. however if you ever get a RFE, you have to be ready to respond with your AC21 docs. For the Address change, you can submit online by filling the AR-11 form.

I have completed 3.5 years of my H1B and am looking at the possibility of applying for GC either under EB2/3.
After my 12th, I did a 2 year Diploma in Business from Australia and then did a 2 year MA(History) in correspondence (open uni) from India and also a 1 year PGDCA by correspondence.
I have more than 10 years of IT experience to go with my 12+2(fulltime)+3(correspondence)years of education.
Questions:
Please advice if I qualify for EB2 and if so will there be any issues ?
Please advice if I qualify for EB3 and if so will there be any issues ?
The challenging thing here for your attorney is to provide proof that you have ABET 4-yer bachelor or equivalent degree before filing i-140. Even EB3 is going to be challenging task. Remember H1B requirements are different from EB green card.:(

If you have a job, getting a work permit will take only 4 hrs inside the consulate. No line. Give the passport and come back within 4 hrs to collect it.
No labor certification for computer(s/w for sure, dunno about h/w side for sure) professionals or petition. Need to show offer letter from the company and letter from company to the consulate.

Did you apply for an H4 along with H1? You should ask this question to one of the attorneys, this is pretty complicated.

Has the LC/PERM been approved based on EB2 is the question? IF yes, you should also try for it and ask your employer.
The new eb2 perm has been applied and pending.

I'm a mechanical engineering and also have an MBA degree.
I work as a support engineer.
My lawyers tell me that I cannot apply in EB2, since my Post grad degree is unrelated to my grad degree and so does not apply to my job.
Is this true?
Can I not file in EB2?
It is better to be slow and steady and get your GC late than try to be fast and never get it ( late and fast is based on the current timelines )
If your lawyer feels it is better to go for EB3, go for EB3. Education requirements are not checked at labor stage but at I-140 stage and if you get your I-140 denied, thats a lot of hassle and trouble.

Hello All,
I have a certain queries regarding the transfer from L2 to H1B.
My husband is on L1 and me on L2 with my EAD still under processing. However my husband's firm wants to get his visa converted to H1 which automatically cancels my L2 status and I would have to apply for H4.
So now my query is for how long will his status of L1 be valid will it be till the start date of H1B, or the minute he files in his papers for H1B or when his H1B gets approved?
Thanking you in anticipation.
~Shruti
To my knowledge your L2 status goes away the day his H1-B is approved.
Gurus what do you say ?

My husband is in H1B visa and he transfered his visa to another company. Got the I-797 approvals too. Along with that mine and my kids H4 also got approved.
Now I am urgently required to travel to India, and want to return from India without going for stamping. Here are other details.
1) Even my previous H4 visa is not expired while I return from India.
2) I have the new H4 approval notices and copy of husbands new H1s I797 with me.
Will it be an issue if I reenter without stamping. Our plan is to go for Visa stamping to any nearby consulate in US border after I come back. Please advise.

OK...I just got an email from my Attorney. It is indeed what she thought. She received our receipts today from the CSC. The receipts have a receipt date of July 23rd and a notice date of September 19th. As to why the CSC sent out the other notice transferring the case back to NSC to me only and not the Attorney...that is a mystery. She plans to speak to our State Senator and hopefully get some answers.

While filling the I-94 arrival record, My Friend did not give his last name at all . There was only two fields he filled 1. Given/First Name & 2. Date of Birth only.
So the I-94 record does not have his Family (Last) Name.
Is there any other center available so that he can give his last name for I-94 or he has to file the form I-102 (the disadvantage for filing the form is he has to send the original I-94 along with $320)
Thanks in advance.
