No harm in calling USCIS. Why do u need to ask that in this forum?
It is their customer service no.. go ahead..call them. they will tell you if they can give any additional info or not

100% of the calls to today's program were from anti-H1B people. Not 1 call supported the H1Bs. If corporates are supporting more GCs for us, and since the fate of H1B/Employment GCs is linked, we ought to support H1B legislation.
How can we get an advance notification of this recordings?? Seems the anti-immigrant forces have the inside tack
here...
Also, the C-SPAN commentator on H1B/immigration issues is frequntly Dena Bunis of the Orange County register. She said the corporate lobbies "have convinced congressman" there is a shortage...implying that there wasn't one. She needs to be contacted . Here contact info (202) 628-6381 or dbunis@ocregister.com
Will it be a good idea to send Lance Kapman's testimony to her?

My 485 was apporved in July 2010 and have not recieved the card yet. I have contacted with couple of Service Request for non-delivery of permanent cards. First reply from USCIS was that my case was waiting for finger printing information from my local USICS was backlogged for appointments. So, I have told to wait for 60 days for either FP notice or physical green card. After 60 days, I have called them and another service request was created and the reply was completely irrelavant as they says my address was updated for my query about non-delivery of GC.
Is there any other escalation request that I can made for deliveriy the GC or the FP notice? whenever I called the USICS are creating the SR and have to wait for answers like above.
I have recieved the 485 approval notices (for both of us) on July itself but waiting for cards now. Are anyone with the same boat ? Or Is the unusual case?
Thanks

Plz update your profile like what is ur PD etc and which service center is this?

I did a blunder by not renewing my passport and travelled to India in August 2007, while returning to US , CBP officer in Chicago issued my I94 only till the expiration of Passport , which is March 2008 . My VISA was valid till Jan 2010
I tried to argue but no use his quote "You can not stay in this country with expired passport" as if there is definitive rule
Irony is I travelled to Canada in July 2007 and at that time my I94 was issued till Jan 2010 . It depends on the officer .
Moral of the Stroy "Renew your passports as soon as you can"
I went to Chicago airport after renewing my passport to renew my I94 , but the officer bluntly denied and asked me to visit USCIS local office . Again just few months back my friend was able to change his I94 in the same airport , looks like I m not that lucky
I contacted my Lawyer on the situation and he suggested either to apply for I94 extension with CIS or travel to Canada . Applying with CIS with 300$ fee doesnt make much sense to me so I decided to fly to Canada and got my new I94 -- Yahoooo atlast valid till Jan 2010
Again in the Tornoto airport officer offered me to keep the same I94 as I did not leave US for more than 30 days , After few scary moments I requested that I needed the new I94 and explained my situation and got it.

Hey Everyone,
My brother is a US citizen who has filed an I-130 for me and my family in May, 2008. We've traveled to the US on B1/B2 visas in February, 2009. The thing about it is that in the DS-156 form point "36. Has Anyone Ever Filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf?" we've answered "No". I've had no idea at that time that it was referring to the petition for alien relative. Anyways, we've returned back home in time. Also, I've had 3 visas before (2 tourist and 1 student) and never violated any immigration laws.
Then in December, 2009 we've applied for F-1 visa and got denied. This time it was a DS-160 form that we filled out which replaced the old DS-156 form. It didn't have that question about the petition anymore. I think they've decided to exclude it because a lot of people were confused by it. Anyways, the consulate officer didn't like the fact that I haven't transferred my credits from 2 courses of University that I've completed in my home country. Plus my major differed from my previous education course.
So my question is. Is it ok to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? I mean we've been issued B1/B2 visas before. Even though we've answered "No" to that question, they saw that I had a brother in the US who is a US citizen. I'm thinking of transferring my credits and using same major course this time or at least similar. This way in the eyes of the consulate officer it will look as I am going to the US to finish my education. The thing is, I am planning to attend community college first in order to finish general courses and then transfer to the university. My major in my home university was physics and this community college doesn't have it. I may go with "general education" course at the community college and explain to the consulate officer my situation.
Is it even legal to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? I believe so. My another question is. Once I finish education. What's the next step would be? Will it be easy to transfer from F-1 to H1B visa while I-130 is pending? What about my wife and a baby who will be on F-2 status? Please share your thoughts. Thank you!
For F-1 visa, you need to show non-immigration intent; i.e., you do not plan to immigrate to U.S. In your case, the combination that I-130 is pending, you want to apply to a university that does not have your major, etc., sends a very bright red flag.

whatz wrong with someone who gets GC in 6 months, is'nt it our sole goal to change system to have GC in few months,
c'mon guys are you jealous, what makes you think just because you did MS here that you are more qualified than a person who has done Bcom from india, he is manager atleast he knows how to grow in a orginzation and get a GC in 6 months, so learn from him,
get over it this is how the system works if you want to change atleast think positve and call your lawmakers
Thanks eb3India, You are very right.

It is waste. You will learn this in a hard way.
Gurus,
Sorry for not mentioning in my first post earlier... Just now I received a copy of the Letter which my company received from the USCIS. It is mentioned as "NOTICE OF INTENT TO DENY (NOID)".
Reasons:
- Section 203(b)(2)(A) of the Act states
- 8 C.F.R 204.5(I)(3)(ii)(C)
These are related to the Education for 3 yrs degree..
- What is the next step ?
- What is the chance of a positive result?
Thank you,
Regds,

My Case is similar to yours.. I called USCIS yesterday and the IO checked and said something about my photo missing when she looked online... She then put me on hold and came back after a couple of minutes and said that photo need not show up (or not required) for AP. she asked me to call up after 2 weeks if I dont get it.
My guess is something's messed up. I am planning to call back on monday if I don't get it by that time.
:(:(:(:(
My AP online status says mailed on Sep 11 th. I have not received them yet.
My wife AP online status said Sep 11 th. We received them on Sep 21 st.

actually, it's not a bad system, at least in India when you pay a bribe things get done. In a crazy way its probably more efficient.
here you have no choice, stuck in the line with no way out.
And premium processing is nothing but an official bribe, to expedite your case. But it's an organized system of bribes: first you pay PP for H1-b, then PP for LC (aka Perm, since atty fees are much higher than for RIR), then PP for I-140, but at each stage you pay a bribe and get stuck in another long line at the next stage. Only way out is by paying another bribe.
So, in the final analysis, which country is more corrupt?
India does bribes on a small scale, at lower levels of authority. US does it officially thru the govt!
Money talks in every country, and frankly I dont mind paying the price for faster service, now if only they would introduce bribes for I-485.
I am sorry, but I have to heartily disagree with this. Bribing is one of the reasons that India is backward. Don't forget that India has millions who don't get enough to eat or drink, and also has some of the poorest people in the world. Massive corruption has helped creat a situation like that. Whenever a person takes or gives a bribe, it is like robbing someone of what they should be earning. When you pay a bribe, you are in a big or small way contributing to poverty.
Also, I don't consider the premimum processing fee to be a bribe. The money they get is used to pay salaries to their employees legally.
I have no doubt that the US is less corrupt, and I am glad it is this way!!!
I guess different people may have different takes on this, and this is mine.

Thank you for your response raysaikat! Could you please rephrase your first part of the answer "This is not a valid reasoning. The "no" is not related to immigration intent. It is related to if you made factually correct statements."? It's a bit confusing.
There are two different things. (i) Intention to commit immigration fraud by mis-representing facts; (ii) Intention to immigrate.
By returning from the US after your trip, you have proved (ii) to be false (i.e., you did not have intention to immigrate at least at that time). However, that evidence does not prove (i) to be false.
You're saying I need to *prove* that I have no intention for immigrating to US. Do you mean that they must clearly see that I have no intention to stay in the US after I finish college?
Yes, it is a requirement for issuing F-1.
The I-130 form is pending so it's obvious I have such intentions. However, the process takes a very long time. Do you think that if I prove that I plan to go back home after school and then wait for the process in my home country I'll be issued a visa?
Good question, and I do not know the answer. What you say may be true. Please consult a qualified attorney (or ask your brother to consult one).
Do they have information regarding the "I-130" process in their database?
Yes. The IO should have access to all prior and pending immigration related activities associated with you.
I mean there is a chance they don't even ask about it. Well, last time we applied they didn't.
Also, do you think that my previous false response to the application form question could in some way affect my I-130 process? I mean I've returned back so in my understanding it shouldn't be a problem. Please explain.
It should not affect your I-130, but again, I am not a lawyer and you seem to need reliable answers (i.e., you need to consult a lawyer).
If I get lucky and get a visa issued. What happens next? Is it easy to switch to a working "H1B" visa from "F-1" visa and maintain this status until the end of the "I-130" process?
Yes, H1-B is dual-intent. I.e., you do not need to prove non-immigration intent for getting an H1-B stamp.
Is it ok to leave the country while on "H1B" status while "I-130" pending? Please comment. Thank you.
I am not familiar about I-130 that much. If I-130 is similar to I-140, then it is okay to leave US while it is pending. However, if you file I-485, then you must have Advanced Parole before leaving US. Again, a question for a lawyer.

I just read in Murthy.com that if a H1B is terminated and the same company wants him back they have to pay the entire salary for the period he was out of job. (google H1B employers obligations) So i think that won't be your case. You should be on EAD.
When you are on EAD they need not inform USCIS. There is no need for you to join your old company back.

my employment is terminated a month ago. I still need to file h1 transfer to the GC sponser. I am single
I am told that H1 can be transferred only with in 10 days-20 days or so. which means that it is already a month. so in case if I dont get the h1 or if I have an issue in the H1 transfer, is that the end of my being H1.
If I were to be on H1 again is it going to come under the cap along with those new H1 filers? I still have one and half years to complete 6 years.
I have a fall back to EAD though based an approved 140 and 180 days past 485.
But how do I get the spouse then???
Let me be clear. my H1 is with a different employer than the future GC sponsor. I never worked for the GC sponsor and that is the reason wanting to get the H1 transferred to sponsoring company. As said I 140 approved and I 485 passed 180days.
I was under the impression that you can switch over to H1 from EAD easily.
if there is a gap of 40days will it be ok to file H1 transfer? assuming that I get the H1 approved. Will this gap any issue in 485 adjudication?
