Has anyone been able to call USCIS premium processing toll free number today and talk to an Officer. I have been unable to get to an Officer today but was able to talk before. I am wondering whether there is a limit on how many times you can call(I have called 3 times so far in 10 days) or if you can't call after so many days have passed after your application is approved.
I have been contacting to get my priority date corrected on I-140 approval. Please respond if anyone has information
You cannot fix a priority date error through a phone! This is a serious thing and would need to be corrected through a letter from an attorney or something like that.

Is everyone getting approval without case being transferred to other service centers?

Thanks!
Would you know the minimum wage level needed to qualify for EB2?
That would depend on prevailing wage for the job and the job location.

Hello all,
My I-140 was approved in EB2 with company B from TSC with PD:01/26/2004 and I-140 pending in EB2 with RFE in the present company A. I do not know at this point when it will be cleared. BTW receipt no# is with EAC. Does it mean it went to NSC for processing? It is high time for me to shift to company B on H1 transfer as per our understanding. Presently I am on 7th year extension and left with 2 months for 8th year ext.
Questions:
(1) Can I transfer to company B based on recent I-140 approval and get 3 year extension?
(2)If I have to get 3 year ext. I have to wait until I-140 is cleared from present company and then got for 3 year ext. then transfer to company B. But I guess it will be long wait and no one know what happens until the RFE is get okayed and I-140 will be approved. So my choice here is very limited in that aspect.
Crux of the problem is that I have better opportunities out side the present company and running short of time to make a firm decision to tell the present employer that I am looking out side which is very sensitive issue to handle on all other aspects.
I just received copy of I-140 approval notice from my attorney. So time is running out for me to make a decision in shifitng company from A to B.
I need your guidance and suggestions in making my future decisions?
Appreciate every one here.

We, July 2 filers, just got our receipts. So you are not that bad. After 90 days wait, you are entitled to ask for an investigation, but, as it appears, USCIS is not yet fully finished with all the receipts for July-Aug filers. They said that they will be done with it by month end. You may want to wait until then.

Friends,
My EB2 I-140 got approved during 1st week of April and USCIS successfully ported my EB3 priority date of Jan, 2006 to the new EB2 I-140. As per my attorney, interfiling shouldn't be done as I have been with same employer all along and same employer sponsored for my porting. The attorney says, this should be automatically taken care of by USCIS.
My question is...I couldn't find the proper procedure/documentation for my scenario. Did any body come across this situation and can any one offer any suggestion?
Thanks for any inputs,
My Lawyer did send a interfiling letter with EB2 I -140 application. You can send it even after I-140 approval . Lawyer can send Interfiling letter requesting to approve I-1485 and also attach the copy of I485 Receipt notices ( you and your family).
Best Luck

question: can I file without employer letter
For an employment-based petition, in order to proceed and be valid,
they
need to still INTEND to be employed by the sponsoring employer if and
when
they get their green card. The employer however, does not need to sign
any
forms per se with relation to the adjustment petition. If the alien is
currently working for the sponsoring employer (on H-1B or other) he or
she
can port or transfer employers without penalty or without losing the
green
card process 180 days after they file the I-485 petition. At that
point,
they can change employers and work for whomever they wish (provided
they
have a valid work permit)

Hello
I am on currently H1B visa using AC21 portability based on I140 approval from previous employer. This is my 9 th year and H1B is expiring April 2010. My current employer is starting H1b renewal again. I do not have H1B visa stamp in my passport as I did not travel outside the USA for last 5 years.
Through my wife's I 485 filling I am beneficiary on that petition. I have applied for advanced parole for both of us to travel out of USA somewhere around March 2010.
My questions are follow:
1. Upon travel when I try to come back should I use this advanced parol or get a H1 visa stamp on my passport and make a entry based on H1 Visa?
2. If I use advanced parol to make an entry does it invalidate my H1 status? I heard somewhere that If I use advance parol to make an entry than I can no longer be on H1 visa. In my case advanced parol I am getting is based on I 485 benefits from wife's I485 case.
3. If making an entry on advance parol does not affect my H1 status, then should I still go to US embassy and get H1 visa stamp? Or it is no longer needed? Is it advisable not to have H1b stamp in my passport at all because I can use Advance Parol for internation travelling? The reason I am asking is because to get stamp in passport will require me to travel to embassy and consume my time from very limited time I am travelling.
4. What are the documents I need to carry while I travel if advance parol is advisable to be used at port of entry?
5. What are advantage/disadvantage of Advance Parol Vs H1b Visa for making an entry?
6. and Lastly, the things I need to keep in mind while at port of entry?
I know, I am asking too many questions. But to be honest, I am really nervous about this traveling as I have not travelled outside the US for last five years. And you know during these years many things must have been changed.
I really appreciate any advise.
Thanks
Sanjay

A thought about meeting the Senators/Congressmen.
Should we not meet the new senators and congressmen now, BEFORE they actually join office? I have a feeling that once they take office, they will become too busy with day to day stuff and immigration will DEFINITELY become a back-burner issue.
Is it possible to meet the new people moving in after January, now instead of after they take office?
Pls join your PA state chapter first in order to execute the action items. Meeting the lawmakers is one of the action items in the list. we cannot undertake such efforts without enough members in state chapters. pls also urge others you know from your state to join the chapter and get active.

While you could have two H1B with two different employers, it is logically impossible for both to be full-time positions. So logically, you could have one full-time position and one part-time position or both as part-time positions. In either case you I-129 will have to be amended to show that you are in part-time position with the employer.
Hi,
Currently working with Company A, where I have I-140 approved. The employer is willing to file I-485. Also have a better offer with Company B, and have H1B approved. Is it possible for me to take leave from company A (using my PTO) and joint company B, keeping both jobs on H1B status?
As my H1B is valid with 2 companies, and both are for full time positions. Is it okay for me to be actively employed with both companies at the same time for 2 or 3 months? Do I violate any H1B regulation, that may cause denial of I-485 at later stage?
Thanks,

Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place, wasn't exactly sure where to post.
I applied for my Certifcate of Citizenship through my US citizen father about 5 years ago, and due to that US citizen father being an ass I still don't have it.
I have decided to just go back to England. I am happy about going back now and this post isn't about finding other ways of getting my citizenship.
When I originally came to the US I intended just to visit so I came on the Visa Waiver Program, and then decided to stay and become a citizen
My query is: When I leave to go back home will I be able to leave the US with just my passport(recently renewed) and ticket? or will I have to contact the USCIS and get some kind of letter or the like?
Thank You
You do not need any agency's permission to leave US. Just submit the I-94 form if you have one.

I got married one year ago. My wife was born here and we filed my I-485 and I-130 and I-765 with her.
1- my office in CT state ( hartford)
2- I applied in April 31 2009. My sponsor was from CT and my wife is the petitioner
3- They received my cases and cashed the checks June 10 2009
5- In July 31 I did my biometrics test ( finger print )
6- In Aug 2009 we moved to Michigan and My lawyer is going to transfer the case to MI
8- october 21 they requested some evidence
9- Nov 2009 they requested that the sponsor and the petitioner should have the same address???
10- I changed my sponsor and I have a new one from Michigan.
11- January 9 2010 they accepted that.
12- Feb 3 my Lawyer surprised me and told me that I have an interview in Hartford,CT even tho she changed every thing to MI. She said she has the proof that she changed the address but it didn't update in the system and she blamed the system. she said she is going to reschedule my appointment to MI and she said the are going to send me a new notice in 2 to 3 weeks.
13- Feb 8 2010 they ordered my EAD card.
14- Feb 9 they mailed me a notice that they approved my I-765.
15- My lawyer said they sent my EAD card and the notice to my old address in CT and she said they went back to them and they will re send it to my new address in MI.
16- Feb 22 as of today they updated all my cases but without any new info ( just the dates)
17- I am so confused and I have those questions:
A) Did my case transfer to MI or nothing happen since I moved?
B) how long does it take to get everthing back to the right way?
C) what is going to happen to my EAD card and the NOTICE?
Please help me with this and I will really appreciate it

Hi,
My company applied for my H1B extn and after 3 months the status got changed to RFE... when the company lawyers recieved the letter, they reviewed it and emailed me the text below....
"Our office just received the Request for Additional Evidence from CIS by mail. What they requested in the letter is not applicable to your case and we believe CIS issued this RFE by mistake. We will respond to CIS to clarify this issue and will keep you informed if there is any update."
I have requested my company lawyers on the specifics...
Is it even possible to get an RFE by mistake? - (may be - yes)
have you seen any such instances?
Thanks,
Raj
