Thanks for your reply.
How did you find out what to answer for "Pick the service center where your I-485 is currently."
I have 2 options -
(a) Since the 485 receipt number starts with "WAC" and I found in this forum that WAC stands for 'California Service Center' I can pick "USCIS California Service Center"
(b) The current online status for the 485 is - "On March XX, 2009, we received your response to our request for evidence. This case is being processed at our NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER location....." and so I can pick "USCIS Nebraska Service Center"
or should i pick some Field Office? - I have no idea what that means.
Thanks everyone, for reading my questions, and caring to post a reply.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Excellent Point Roseball.
Prasad please review this with an attorney before you make a decision.
Assuming your stamping is successful, the only other issue I would see is the validity of your new I-94 at the POE in Toronto (US immigration check is done at toronto airport)...Since your new H1 approval only starts after the current one expires, historically I have seen cases where the IO at POE only gave the I-94 for the duration of the current H1 and not until the validity of the new approved H1. The reason given was that the new H1 was not valid on the date of entry even though its approved and he cannot allow a person to stay based on a document which is valid in future. But the cases I came across were when the new H1 start date was more than 3 or 4 months away. In your case since the start date is only 1 month away this "may or may not" be an issue....I think USCIS allows people to enter US 3 weeks in advance or something like that..I am not sure of the exact time interval but I think you can find out online....If they only give you an I-94 till the validity of your current H1, then you either will have to travel and re-enter again after your new H1 starts or apply for an extension again.....Just wanted to give you a heads up on the possibility of this issue...Good luck with your stamping....

sorry My bad.
I feel we should still carry on with our efforts anyways. MA chapter can meet the lawmakers/aready may be meeting lawmakers.
However groundwork can be done by IV members by sending letters, faxes and emails. When IV people meet lawmakers sometimes these paople mention about the such communication materials they have recieved from IV and it helps carrying the conversation further. Thus all hands are needed at this time in order to pursue our cause.

What is the authenticity of this statement. you mean to say that USCIS may come out and say on 20 july that they are not accepting any more applications...But I think it shuould be always mentioned in bulletin and that will be for next month...
Has this ever happened in the past..
Yes, this happened in June for the EB-3 Other Workers category. Although the category was available for June, it went unavailable in the middle of the month and USCIS started returning applications. You can read about it on www.immigration-law.com (http://www.immigration-law.com)

Just wanted to update the guys on this thread:
Received CPO email for EAD's today. So it took them only 3 weeks since I responded to the RFE...not bad at all.
Which service center?

Priority date is April 2003
Category is EB3
Consulate is Chennai.
What do you suggest now?. I believe NVC will send the case to consulate only when DOS assigns a visa number to it. Why do they need to wait 6-12 months for the interview to be setup?
I just did a research by browsing some of the CP trackers. Most of the cases has got the interviews setup within 1-2 months from the date of the receipt of the case by consulate.

Please suggest if my understanding is not correct. Thanks!.

When I discussed this with my employer (A consulting company of 100+) he says people have had more issues in Chennai than in Canada and most of our employes have successful stamping in Canada.
But I would definitely like to consider all pros and cons before I go ahead and book an appointment.
Thanks for all the valuble info

A question about the State Chapter joining. Of late we are seeing less and less info on the website. Are we now moving to an "offline" model?
the state chapters are being strengthened for sure, remember we are ultimately a grassroots organization. also, in the current environment, everything cannot be posted publicly. so we would really like to see everyone involved at the local level too. i'm not saying the forum is not important or is being ignored...quite the contrary, but the grassroots effort has to be paramount if we are to succeed.

The much sought after de-coupling of LEGAL immigration from ILLEGAL immigration has come in the form of the SKIL bill by Sen. Cornyn and S.1092 by Sen. Hagel. This was needed for anything to happen this year, since CIR is a solution to 'political' problem of Illegal immigration, not a 'immigration ' solution to Legal immigration. Now, someone from the House of Representatives needs to push a bill. And then IV needs to apply skull crushing pressure to move both those. As, far as I remember, last year in the 109th. congress Pep. John Shadegg (R) from Arizona, had submitted a House version of the SKIL bill, but had contented that anything might not move, because of Rep. Sensenbrenner. We need to approach him, again to submit a House version of SKIL, for anything happen this year.

From your post it is not clear why the ext was rejected , usually the ext is approved.
My wild guess is if you apply thru attorney and word it properly any trivial reason also gets you extension.
Yes I agree once rejected the law is very fuzzy about the status and for that matter for so many other conditions/situations.
We had filed extension with the reason stating my parents would like to visit other parts of US (Tourism), we did not hire attorney for the work.
In the rejection, I think they stated 6 months was more than enough to visit different parts of US and spend time with children.
In my opinion, the approval rate for extension is high, but the risk we take is not worth it.
Even if the approval rate is 80%, if you happened to be in the unlucky 20%, the consequences are very heavy. On the other hand if our parents decide to go back to home country for a short duration and return, then the
Disadvantages are
1. Effort in travel
2. Travel cost
3. Hear the long boring song from immigration agent, while re entry.
Advantages are
1. Take care of their Medical checkup
2. Take care of properties, pension, bills etc
In the past 8 years of my stay in US, I have studied this process very carefully and concluded that the decision making process is very unpredictable for the visitor extension of stay, especially if the reason is like tourism or to spend time with children.
I do agree if the reason is like health care and if you have proof to demonstrate, we cannot do the health procedure in home country, and then the extension approval rate is extremely high.
My final take is, while returning to US (say after 30 days of stay out of US)
The song from immigration agent or the risk of getting 1 or 3 month of stay
Is much better than
Taking the risk to request extension of stay and getting rejected (about 20% chance), there by putting out parents out of status.

Thanks everyone for the response.
If an employee takes a promotion, how does DOL/USICS enforces that the employee accepts the job for the advertised wages and responsibility after getting his GC?
But I thought LC is an ad for a future position. As long as the employee is qualified and willing to accept the job for the advertised wages at the advertised location when he gets his GC, there should be no issues. For that matter, there are many folks on this forum who have their LC filed in one state but are currently working in a different state without refiling LC. How is this any different from the promotion case ?
Now I fully recognize many employers will choose to exploit their employees and deny them any raise or promotion knowing that they pretty much own the employee until he gets his GC. But is taking promotions against immigration laws in theory ?
I know for sure nothing in immigration law even requires an EB beneficiary to be working in the US on an H1-B with the sponsoring company until he gets his GC - although that is the only feasible practise given the long delays in processing a GC.

I have a expired H1 visa and will be travelling to India (plan to use AP for reentry) and will be stopping in Dubai for sightseeing for 3 days.
I understand I need a transit visa and would like to apply for one in US. I am flying Emirates and believe Emirates can sponsor for the visa. They told me to use CIBT (http://www.cibt.com) for applying for a visa. On the cibt site, it asks for a unexpired visa or a Green Card.
I wonder how others with expired H1s have got transit visa to Dubai.
Any help is really really appreciated. :confused:
You can get transit visa when you arrive in Dubai. One has to pay 100 Dhirams (=40 us dollars). During my visit and stay, I paid thru my credit card. I was never asked any question. I stayed in Dubai for a week with a relative of mine. My H1-B expired some time ago and I use AP for travel.

Hi,
Just trying to see if anyone is or was in the same boat as i am.
For GA license renew ,DMV officer had me go through the SAVE system as the EAD start date was in future.
Now the question is how long does this process actually take and did anyone face any issues with SAVE verification.

How the CIR is going to help us legal immigrants? I think, it is going to hurt us. Think about the huge processing delay. Even if the priority dates become current, the delay in processing can become years.
