I got only 2 copies of AP from TSC. I might have to go to India multiple times in coming months (more that 2). Will the POE officer take the original AP on each entry? Is there any USCIS/CBP reference/guidelines that instructs the POE officer to take the copies and leave the orignals with us? Any help appriciated
Thanks
Give them one orginal. Subsequent trips, just tell them that you have only one original and they will make copies. Some body posted a memo but i am telling you from my personal experience that they do not insist for original if you dont want to give them one.

Congratulations Ivar.
Hi EveryOne,
I got my Green card in mail yesterday. I want to thank IV and everyone for all the support during this GC journey. I wish everyone all the best for their green card process. I wish everyone gets to file 485 irrespective of priority dates and ultimately get their green cards. This is a question to Admin, i have a recursive donation going on, I would like to make a one time donation and stop the recursive donation.
Thanks.

newxyz100, since 485 was already filed, he/she can come back on h1/h4. I believe its just like using your h1/h4 instead of your EAD and AP in future. Experts please correct me if I am wrong.

But dont you guys expect improvement after all this fiasco ?
DOS and USCIS will work closely together so dates in VB are more accurate. We dont see all Cs ever again without legislative changes.
What else is there to learn?

You already goofed with Independence day of India..Now you are eyeing on Geeta...!!
Oh man, I am enjoying...!!!
Didn't you earn all the dollars in this country? Then where is the pain man? Remember Geeta --- Jo liye Yehin pe liye, Jo diya yahin pe diya (Whatever I got I got here, Whatever I gave, I gave here)....so think that and write checks to Lawyer, Doctor, USCIS. I hope Geeta will reduce your pain.

I have been noticing soft LUDs on my EAD and 485. The EAD was issued about 2 months ago and I have had 2 soft luds on that and on the 485 in the last week.
Any ideas on what that means?

Thanks for a quick explanation.. So basically we are hosed if we leave our employer on a bad note and he decides to use our labor for someone else.
Follow up questions:
1. If I understand this correctly then simply revoking the labor won't kill the I-485 application but the employer needs to substitute the original application for another employee.
2. Also, by pre-July 2007 you mean people who filed their labor or I-485 before July 2007, or both?
3. Will this affect people who applied (and approved) for their labor before July'07 but filed their I-485 during / after July'07 fiasco i.e. majority of IV members.
4. If people in point # 3 are not affected then are they off the leash?
Thanks.
In very basic terms.
If you have left your employer after filing AC21(140 approved and 485 pending for 180 days), your employer then revoked your 140 and used the original labor to file 140 for another person(substitution). Another person has applied for 485.
Then original applicant's 485 will be denied.....because AAO is saying One Labor can be used only for one Green Card....
Mind you this is all relates to pre July 2007.

Hello
Case details
--Lay off with Employer A happened in April and I was without a job for a couple of months
--I have a valid Visa with employer A until April 2010.
--Finally found a job as a consultant, employer B applied for my H1B.
--RFE has been answered with sufficient documents and awaiting a response.
Question
I read/hear that since there is a 2 month period with no paystubs, I might get an approval for I-797 but without I-94. In such a case what actions should be taken.
Please advice.
Thanks!
For respond for the RFE...if they are asking for paystub and if you are not able to provide the same, they will deny the H1B. In that case you need to leave the country. If they are giving without I-94. Need to go out of the country, get stamping and come back.

Hi All,
I have attended for renewal H1B Visa stamping at Matamoros on May 27th 2010.
Here is the complete process that I have followed from start to End:
* I have used a agent for arranging Application fee & transportation to and from Brownsville, TX.
* Drove from Dallas to Brownsville, TX on May 26th, drive was Okay, not many COPS around.
* Stayed at Days Inn hotel owned by Desi, very helpful at giving information on good restaurants around and places to go if there is enough time.
* On May 27th morning 7:45 am agent will come pick-up from the Hotel and take you to the US Consulate in Matamoros (About 10mins drive). On the way he explains all the details of where they meet after the Interview is done and how to get to Port of Entry by Walk. His first stop in Matamoros would be Best Western Hotel where you can leave all your luggage and all the prohibited items at US Consulate.
**** Be sure to carry all your necessary items to stay in Mexico for atleast one more day if your Visa is not ready the same day****
*Then he will drop you at US Consulate and stay outside until you pass the security line.
* After security there are two people checking your documents (I-797, Application fee & Interview confirmation page) and issue you a SERIAL Number.
* After that you will be allowed inside where the first process is to get your pictures and fingure prints taken.
*After that wait for your number to be displayed for the Visa interview (Takes anywhere between 45 to 60 mins at anytime), for me took about 50 mins.
At the Visa Interview counter:
Initial Greeting exchanges and then asks for the paper work (Passports Old & New, I-797 and Interview Confirmation page). She took about 5 mins to go through DS-160 questions/answers filled online.
VO: Why did you change the company from your Old to New.
ME: Explained the situations.
VO: Do you directly work for the client of your Current Company.
ME: No, I work for a client of another Vendor.
VO: This is not the way how the H1B Visa works, you have to work for a Client of your current H1B Employer.
ME: Blank Face, no answer. (I know that is not how the h1B Works, but no answer)
VO: How do we trust that you are really working for the Client.
ME: I pulled out my client letter and Photo ID Card and gave it to VO.
VO: Okay, so, you got the letter from your Project Manager at Client site. Good let me check that.
VO: Can I see all your W2's from the first year that you are in US and pay slips for last six months.
ME: Handed over all the W2's and Payslips.
VO: Can I see your bank statements for last 3 months.
ME: Gave my bank statements.
VO: Let me check all these documents and discuss with my senior. she went inside with all the documents for about 5 mins.
ME: This was the time that I felt tensed, as I don't have a valid visa to enter US if they decided not to issue a Visa based on all the docs that I have. I never felt tensed for the last 4 stampings that I have attended in India.
VO: Came back after 5 mins. Is there any period that you were with current employer and not get paid.
ME : No.
VO: What is your job description.
ME: Explained.
VO: Is your greencard petition filed.
ME: Yes.
VO: Can I see your Approved labot and I-140.
ME: I have approved labor, but, not approved I-140.
VO: You are supposed to carry all the documents.
ME: Blank face
VO: Okay, your Visa is approved.
ME: Thank you :-)
NOTE: I would say if you don't have client letter and a photo id card from client and you won't have a valid visa currently, I would suggest attending visa interview at your home country.
We went back to US Consulate to collect the passport at 3:30 pm, but, those were not ready.
Agent dropped us back at Best western hotel in Matamoros, we stayed there that night. Don't eat at the hotel restaurant, that sucks. There is a very nice restaurant a block away from Hotel (Mexican), very very good food.
Agent picked us back at 3:00 pm next day and took us to US Consulate. Got the passports with Visa stamped and headed to Port of Entry.
Agent dropped us at Port of Entry and we walked across the bridge. There is a small gate when you enter US Geographical area on the bridge, where you need to 50Cents to enter(No need for Under aged children, I guess below 12yrs). Walked over to the port of entry office to get a new I-94. There is a big line, but, you don't need to be in the line, just walked into the first room skipping the line and keep waiting for one of the officers to call you next in spanish for your turn (Took about close to 4 hrs to get the I-94, once the officer is at the counter it's only 5 mins process. But, you won't see any officers coming to counter until the room is atleast 95% filled.
After we got the new i-94 came outside and called agent to pick us. Agent dropped at the hotel. It's a big relief to be back in US.
If anybody is driving, there is a check post 40/50 miles away from Brownsville where Boder protection agents check your immigration papers (took about 2 mins for me).
If anybody have any questions, please let me know.
Good luck.

I was recently audited by Someone from Dept of Homeland Security regarding my H1-B visa status.He asked several questions regarding my position,job duties,pay,work hrs
How long I was associated with my current company, What was my previous job and job duties,How long I am in US etc.
I couldn't provide him the proof of the pay as I didn't had the pay stub to show him at that moment.
I asked him is this just rutine procedure ?He said this is recently started process to check H1B fraud.
Does any one else had same experience?
Unless you fill your profile, nobody will trust you. Anti's are trying to get some negative comments and feed their agenda

It is my turn to receive the "Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident" today. My depenedents are yet to receive this mail. This forum, Immigration-law, Immigration portal by Rajiv Khanna and many other immigration lawyers' websites like Murthy's etc were very useful to understand the immigration laws.
I did everything myself (EB2-NIW - India) - I140, I485, AP and EAD and my PD (I140 RD) and I485 RD are 09-29-2005.
I did make a one time conribution of $100.00 to IV.
Thanks a lot. All the best to all.
You are saying ur PD was Sec 2005? Mine is Dec 2005. Should I also expect it sometime soon :)?

EIther this guy is ALIPAC or he is from ALIPAC. THose guys tried to supress us in a straight forward way, but it did not work. Then they sent some infiltrants to our site to coy us to beleive they work for immigrants. That also did not work. Now they are trying to backstab us with our own hands. They will do whatever it takes to drive us out, but we should be smart as we were and may be much more. Good luck ALIPAC.

ohh is this really true? can u specify a source for this ?
Dandruff said "You can reapply for H1-B but you are NOT subject to H1-B cap / quota.
It should not be subject to the annual cap unless you have been out of the U.S. for at least one year since you were last in H-1B status."
Is this true for ppl who haven't done masters in usa?
