I am in the exact same situation. I have already filed I-140/I-485 concurrently with the substituted labor. Now the dates are current I am filling another I-485 with my approved I-140. There is nothing wrong in what we are doing, as long we explain about the earlier filling and clarify the motive of the second filling. Eventually we should withdraw one of the two based on the outcome of substituted labor/I-140.

Hi,
I have a question an experts:
Shustermann says that today ist the last day that all the employment- based-preference categories are current (exception unskilled workers). Ok, now he sasy : We recommand that Employers and their attorneys e-filing their I-140 today.
Please explain me if thats so important to file today the I-140 becouse just today the priority date are current.
I dont understand whats has the filing form I-140 to do with the priority Dates. Priority date is the PERM date??

Hi,
I recently received EAD and my I-140 approved an year ago . I am waiting for the 180 days count down to be over. but my question here is after 180 days if i want to use AC21 , do we really need to have the I-140 apporval copy or receipt number bcz it is still with my employer and they are not going to share with the me for sure. But it got approved and year ago for me.
Also is there any way i can get the receipt number of I140 by calling the USCIS ?
Please help!
Thanks

Your receipt notice will show "receipt date" as July 3 - Oct 10 as Notice Date, thats when they entered your case into the system. If you end up with USCIS rep level 1, they say received date as Oct 10 as they don't have vicinity to Receipt Date. when I called to check the status of my AP, rep said, they receipted (noticed date) my case on 10/2 - it will take 3-6 months to get AP as TSC processing application entered on 7/17.
I got my receipt numbers by calling USCIS on Oct 12.

1) Does that require any additional fees?
There is no additional fee, all you need a compelling reason to expedite AP
2) How long does it take for AP to come thorugh after expedite
My friends mom was hospitalized, not life threatnening issue - he was able to obtain AP in a week. Onething to note, this was before July fiasco.
3) In three weeks time we are travelling to attend brothers marriage--> is this reason good enuf?
Brother's marriage is not a compelling reason to expedite your AP - One of the IV member could not make it to bro's marriage, please read http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15101 , this can throw some lights.
4) Is there any harm or backfire due to trying to expedite through infopass
It will not bring you any harm, if you present the facts for your request. It applys to all your request, not only for AP.
5) filed 485\ap on July 02. recieved EAD and FP already done.
You are all set, all you need is AP to travel outside USA or you can trip, if you have a valid unexpired stamp on your passport.

All,
Any successful H1 transfers these days, pls post your experience. All that required for a transfer was latest 3 payslips and I797. Is it still the same or have things changed these days ? Can someone pls share your experience.

my lawyers have indicated that i would need a 551 stamp in the passport if the card doesn't arrive on time, using AP etc is not an option.
anyone been through this situation and has more details?
thanks
Oh ok,i think if you are outside US when your GC approved then AP is the only option..May be getting 551 stamp on PP is the option in this case..

i_aged_out
03-22 10:26 PM
Hello everybody ! I am 22 years old. My parents had applied for GC under the employment based category. I, unfortunately, aged out before my parents applied I-140 because of the stupid backlogs. So I aged out even before an I-140 was filed. I was reading the Child protection act info and could not understand if I will be "automatically classified to the appropriate category" for GC which is Family 2B and retain my "original PD." Does this apply to me as I had not even filed I-140 when I aged out ? My parent's PD is Oct 2000 so does this mean I am under Family 2B with Oct 2000 PD ?? Please help me out. I am sure many of you with sons/daughters that are in a similar situation. Thanks

As the title suggest, it is meant for folks who have invoked AC21 (1-140 approved, I-485 filed & pending more than 6 months, job desc almost similar) successfully and unsuccessfully.
If you have successfully transferred, can you comment on the experience, any denial notices that you had to overcome? Have you got the green card finally?
If unsuccessful, what issues are you facing? Is there some work around or going back to desh is the only option?

Hello Gurus,
My wife is on H4 since 2004 and we filed H1 (Jan. 2007) and her H1 status is pending at this moment. I am about to file 485 (July 2007 current bulletin) very soon.
I have mentioned that she is on H4 in the I485 related docs. I thought her H4 becomes invalid ONLY after H1 is APPROVED. Is this correct? Please let me know.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
The original labor approval is lost by Attorney, how ever he has the copy of the approval. He says we can file I-140 with copy. Any one has had this situation ? What is your experience doing this ?

Hi
My H1 is due for extension this year end.
Valid period of H1 remaining is 1 1/2 year since extension
I understand that H1 extension has to go through the rigorous procedure nowadays.
It needs client letter stating that project will last for 1 year.
Getting such letter is not possible.
So having I140 approved makes thing easy for H1 extension? Or same process for h1 extension is followed
Please reply
Thanks

Hi
Here is my situation:
Entered US with K1, received I-94 at the time of entry with Employment Authorized stamp, and the CBP officer told me I can work with the I-94 until my status changes to permanent resident.
BUT I-94 is valid only for 90 Days so my permission to work is not valid any longer (That is what the Employer says).
Filed I-485 to Chicago, IL, application was received on July 19/07.
Receipt Notice received August 27/07. Biometrics taken August 30/07, have an Interview on November 29/07.
I called USCIS, they told me I have to apply for an EAD.
Applied for EAD in August. Application was received on August 29/07, the Biometrics Notice Date is September 17/07.
Now I have an absolutely awesome job offer but I don't have a valid Employment Authorization document.
I called USCIS yesterday to ask if I can expedite the process for the EAD, they said go to local immigration office and ask them to see what options you have (she read some options, I didn't write any down because it was a long list).
I went to a local immigration office this morning, they said "We cannot do ANYTHING from our local office in regards to a EAD since September of last year!!!".
They also said to call USCIS and ask them to download the Biometrics from the I485 application to speed up the process.
I called USCIS this morning and they said they are UNABLE to download the Biometrics.
I asked them if there is a way to expedite the process for the EAD, they told me the same thing as yesterday: Go to local office!
Here I am, in this #$#%#^# loop, can't do anything about this and USCIS or the local immigration office does not give a damn about honest people who are trying to make a living and put some food on the table.
I don't know what else to do but if somebody has an idea please, please, please let me know.
By the way, the Immigration officer told me that the employer can hire me if they want, but it is up to the employer to decide!!! I just don't understand how somebody is supposed to hire me if I canno't show any documentation allowing me to work here.
I would also like to know how long it took for any of you who applied for the EAD??
Thank you!

Hi
I was not so so keen until this matter was resolved..BUT my GC got approved.
I am separated from spouse. But when I filed 485, I was "married" because our relationship was still unstable.
Now QUITE FRANKLY I am NOT sure what's going to happen ahead.Dont ask me why. This whole uncertainty depressed me . If I re-unite and my wife is in India and I am on GC HOW do I call her here ?
If I divorce and re-marry how do I get my new wife here.
In any case , I dont plan on getting more than 1 person so pl dont look at it from a gamers view.
Thanks for ur help

It's not my intention to encourage marital discord. Having said that there are a couple options for you:
(a) If you re-unite and reconcile with your wife, you can file a follow-to-join petition, since you were married before you got your GC. She will get her GC fairly fast and be able to enter as an immigrant.
(b) If you get divorced and get re-married, you're out of luck. You would have to file a Family based I-140 petition (F2A, I think) and it takes about 5-6 years to get something like that approved. In the meantime if you want her to come to the USA, she will have to come on a dual-intent visa such as H1B. The consulate will not give her an ordinary visa. Of course, you can claim citizenship and "upgrade" your petition.
I am not a lawyer and this not legal advice. Please consult an attorney for your specific case.
