Does the cover-letter you included while filing your 485 include your job duties?
thats basically what you need, to make sure your new duties/position are inline with what was decribed in the LC.
We have a company lawyer. Only thing I have is 485 receipts, FP notice, EAD and AP.
Nothing has been shared with us till I-140 approval.
Upon my demands, all I got is my I-140 application number. My HR dept has a strict position that I-140 & LC are employer documents and it will NOT BE Shared with employees.
I still doubt that USCIS will expect me to have these documents.
Any ideas How can I know job description? Can I call USCIS? dont' think they will entertain?
I am about to file for H1B extension. Is there anything here that can give me some idea about job description? I guess H1B and LCA job description should be same. isn't it???

Hi All:
Question: I have a I-140 PD Sept 2005 - EB-3, And completed 4.5 years (6year end oin July 2008) on H1. I changed the job in Jan, 2007 and using the approved I-140- 3 year H1 Ext rule, I received my extention for 3 year until 2010. Now my new employer des not want to file for greencard for 1 year. meanwhile if my old employer withdraws my I-140 what would happen in this case, if I start my LC application in jan 2008.
The question of what happens if your 140 is withdrawn by previous employer has not been answered, not by lawyers and certainly not by USCIS. It is a grey area. However, it has not been documented that USCIS will cancel an H1B extension that is based on an I-140 when the underlining 140 is withdrawn.
You may want to ask your attorney this question.

O*Net Online website has a useful tool to learn which other occupations relate to one's present occupation. Simply enter your O*Net/SOC code and go to "Related Occupations".
This may prove useful for inidividuals searching for jobs in "similar" occupations. Altough this information can be very handy it goes without saying that every case is different and one should not solely rely on this.

After a lots of effort I got chance to meet the great man J.B. Wow he was very nice. I told hime everything and showed the FedEx print out which he signed for the 485 delivery.
He appologised several times and went inside to the mail room after 40 minutes he came with a +'ve result with another appologies for his mistake. He told that the some of the packages are piled under the desk (hiding for the eyes) and he coudn't move the packages to clearks room. He moved a bunch of fedEx package to the clearks room, and took mine seperate from the bunch and put a note to the cleark saying his mistakes.
I thanked him and went to hotel room, after couple of hours I got call from MR.J.B and gave the receipt # for my whole family. I thanked him for the courtosy and afternnon I again I went to meet J.B and thanked again and tiped around $ 100, suddenly he started yelling at me...oh man..this was my fault, and u tiping for Nonsence....I got panicked and start sweating....

My experience is that even with the "1/focal length" rule (or maybe it should be "1/(focal length x crop factor)") is a bit optimistic with these long tele shots. Maybe it can work if you have really good technique and a sturdy tripod but I like to use a much shorter shutter time if possible.

First of all, sorry to open a new thread for my problem, but didn't find a related thread.
I was tested positive for genetal herpes 6months ago, but after that i didn't have any outbreaks. Now i have to go for medicals for my I485 next week.
Iam very much worried if it will effect my chances of getting GC.
Should i let the civil surgeon know iam positive for herpes and show my medical reports before he does the blood work, or should i wait till he finishes my blood work? I have read that i can apply for a waiver even if im tested positive for herpes, is it true? If so, can any body please tell me what is the procedure? Do i need to do it when we are filing for 485, or is it a separate process?
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.

This year in August, most of the WAC I-485 cases were given an unfair beating and were largely neglected in the approvals. Most of these cases are not current now but many will become again next year. So, based on this year's experience, we need to prepare so that we do not again get beaten up. By WAC I-485 cases, I mean cases filed in July 2007 in NSC but were receipted at CSC and sent back to NSC. In g neral, it applies to all cases which were transferred between centers
There were mainly 2 issues faced:
1) Biometrics for these cases do not get attached to file. Reason is when we do the biometrics, the results are sent to CSC because the case number starts with WAC. The results do not automatically get transmitted to NSC. Most of us had to make phone calls to make it happen. By that time, precious time was lost and the visa numbers got over.
The issue will now again come up as most of our fingerprints are approaching 15 month expiry. So, when we again do biometrics in the next few months, the results will remain stuck at CSC.When in July/August in 2009 , we will become current again, our cases will not get picked due to lack of biometrics. So, how do we go about fixing the problem? Writing to ombudsman? I am looking for suggestions. I did write to ombudsman and got some standard response.
2) Second issue faced was inability to file service requests. Even though processing dates were more than 30 days from receipt date, the system was not allowing filing of SRs as it was taking the reps. to CSC 485 processing times which are stuck at 2006. This is totally unfair and if a LIN person is able to file SR we should get the same right. True, SRs often invoke some useless response. But, if PD and RD are current, it can be quite useful.
So, I am asking for suggestions for tacking the above problems so that we can be prepared for next year. The time to act is now.

ya i replied. I am sure no one is looking forward to paying taxes. Even those who make more than $1 million a year.
o lord labaku... in this case, i am talking to those of us who have started up a company in recent times and are looking forward to offsetting their incomes by the company expenses and hence save on taxes...

Yes. It is very hard to pass especially for the ones who are looking to use AC21. This feels the longest 180 days of my life. It is good to see this thread so to hear some consolation that there are ppl with us.
Hope January comes soon!!
I am sure 2008 will be bright for most of us!!

Great article! Surely, it must have gotten John Miller atleast thinking what is going on in the US! What he has called a faster process in the US takes atleast 8-10 years since arrival in the US!
I am going to e-mail him, and would like others to do so too! Let us tell them the truth!
Dear Sir,
Many thanks for your interesting email, which I forwarded to a colleague based in the United States.
I understand it must be hard for somebody in your situation. But anecdotal evidence and statistics suggest that however hard life is for immigrants in the United States, it's even harder for immigrants in Europe.
Thanks again,
John Miller.

I am not sure I understand. My wife resides in Mumbai. She had her h1 stamped there some time back around 5 years. That h1 she used and is gone now. Now she applied for h1 in fresh qupta since she was out of us for more than one year. Right now so where should we go for stamping. Shes in us with me on h4. Can we go to canada?
Yes, you can go to canada for visa stamping. Note however that the canadian US consulate might require "security clearance" and then your wife will be stuck in canada, typically for months. Although chances are slim, such events do happen, and therefore it is advisable to go to the home country (non-home country consulates issue 221(g) more frequently) or at least to a place where your wife can afford to stay for months.

Hi H1Girl,
Please go back and read my post again. I didn't use the word attorney at all. Please make sure your point is clear before raising a finger on someone. All i am educating him is to file through his employer. In fact i don't personally like attorneys. When i filed my 485 on July 2, i filled the entire application by doing my own research and all my attorney did was signing it. Just to sign it also she said she was busy and she didn't file my EAD/AP.
Sorry kriskris...I misunderstood. I take my words back. Yes, we need Employer help for signing the forms etc since only Employer can file new H1 or H1 extension. Avoid Attroney help just for signing G-28 form. Instead contribute some of that savings to IV if you like.

I thought the same thing but then I researched some more and I found out that this kind of notes basically gives the holder the power to go to court and get (easily), a court order to retrieve the owned amount from the other party's account. It generally applies to a Creditor Debtor relationship, but doesnt end there. ( i may be wrong ).
Dont be surprised, the guys is covering all corners, so that in no way he gets in trouble. it just instates that fact he's good, which somehow doesnt work in my favour.
I guess you are right, attorney is the best way to go about it.
will post my out come here soon.
Till then please post your comments or views here.
Appreciate the responses!
How long this bond is for. You employer seems like a cleaver and cunning guy.
