I have come across some cases where GC aplication I140 was reopened after being approved. So this is no surprise. While I could not find the reasons fully in many cases, why cases were reopened as people tend to hide the true reasons. I think for GC applications the reasons may have included-- suspicion of fraud/complaint against the employer/Ability to pay after seeing more GC applications in the same company and thus reopening past cases/Bona fide intension of the employee to join the company after seeing some irregularity in the immigration applications/too many GC applications or H1B applications from the same company and thus a red flag for an H1B dependent employer.

The best solution in such cases is to first find out the reasons and weakness in your case. Each case is different and one cannot generalize. So each applicant will know their reasons. If the case is reopened, then don't panic. But if you get an RFE, the immediately contact a good lawyer and answer it.

yep..

Hello All,

How long does it take for decision after NSC has recieved I140 RFE response. My RFE was for my Employer Ability to pay i.e tax and bank documents etc.
Please see my details in the signature.

Is it worthwhile to convert my I140 to PP ? Will this expediete the whole process ? My I-140/I-485 are already current and NSC processing date mentions that they are already processing cases filed after me....

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly apprcieted.

Thanks,
Law Love Alien

Good Info OP!

Good development. Lets see whether they follow up on this or not.
CIR is difficult due to political landscape. piecemeal approach has the
most likelihood of success especially it is attached to FB category.

On the downside, such bills are tabled every year and they die a natural death.
Visa recapture since 1992 might greatly reduce the backlog.

if you feel like it.... Destiny will determine whether you get your GC or not. Do what seems right to you. :)

Guys stop giving respect to this low life Nitinboston. He is an anti-immigrant hiding on our site for past one year reading all posts and reporting to his bosses. Now suddenly his rat fraternity boss asked him to do go the Lion's den and Roar. But he could not and his rats behind got nailed by PresidentO and QAslueth etc.

Picture will become more clear in MAY when Pres. OBAMA will announce his plan for CIR 2009. If he does then chances of this bill going anywhere is very minimal. Also don't forget that this is just in senate. Same version needs to be pass in House. Amendment to Stimulas package regarding Financial Company cannot hire h1b was relatively easy. It doesnot need bill go through all sub committee and other lengthy process.

I think we should focus only on our main agenda. Green Card. We can closly watch this bill. Even if it advance to subcommitte in Senate ( Hearing and all ) then we can start move on it otherwise we will waste so much of our manpower and energy.

Wouldn't it be their statergy to divert / divide people on H1b / L1b issue so we loose our energy by the time CIR 2009 planing going on. And they can easily add some more real actions in CIR ?

Signed petition yesterday.


Also, if you can, please try to post feedback about the show on CNN's website.

http://www.cnn.com/feedback/cnntv/

Select Lou Dobb's show.

After meeting several administrative and Lawmakers staff, we concluded there's no legislation that can help people waiting for Labor Cert from BECs. But we thought if people get 3 year H1B ext. Atleast they can move on to new jobs etc and file in PERM etc. It will be a big relief.
Just contributed $100 and asked several of my friends to join.

Btw, I do not see anthing in the amendments to address labor backlog reduction problem? Is that not goal of IV any more?

Guys

I got back through JFK. Had Valid H1 and AP. Unfortunately (kicking myself) , my EAD was insidethe passport too. IO saw it n said you'll need to use AP and took us to interview room, no questions asked, but took another 25 minutes. Now am Parolled... and I94 says Parolled until .....

Moral of the story : If you have valid H1 stamped , keep the AP tucked away. Can't argue with the ignorant mo fo s at the counter..

Was just watching Late Edition on CNN..with Arlen Specter and Chuck Schumer.. Specter did mention that he expects the CIR to be passed in the next few weeks in the lame duck session by the house.. infact he mentioned that the conservative outgoing speaker Hastert in favour of this at this time..so house might pass this now..with the senate already passed this..

Lets see who this goes ..

which day's late edition? any transcript links?

Thanks kubmilegaGC!

I will call the senators immigration liaison tomorrow. Hopefully she will not tell me that they cannot do anything besides what they have done because that is what they told me in September last year when I got a standard response last year.

Unfortunately nobody understands the pain and agony we are going through. For them, its just another day at the office, they couldnt care less. Nevertheless, I am going to try tomorrow.....hey, cant give up that easy.

I will call CS again tomorrow, I dont mind being yelled at and I am gonna tell her this time that I have not opened a SR. Atleast, she will then transfer my call to a IO.

Let's see what tomorrow has in store for me!!

do you have SR opened for your wife?

---

Why are you so surprised? If you do get permanent residency then too your prospective wife will not be able to immigrate immediately.

Why do you think that i was 'surprised'?? I was just making a point that this policy was absurd!

:lol: Nice, otter pops

It might've looked better if the iPod shading showed through though, it looks sort of flat.

CIR will be as controversial as ever. SKIL, if any is our best bet.

CIR seems to be a perpetual wait. Both parties will not close it.
They need big issues to bicker and promise the electorate
for the next election.

IRAQ and CIR will be those big tickets they will use as levers.


Sorry to sound negative, but it is just the way I see it.SKIL is our only option, IF AT ALL. CIR is just an illusion and who knows if our provisions will be in CIR even if it becomes a reality ??!!!

When I am trying to reqruit someone from dice, I see resumes that are heavily bloated to an extent. I see similar resumes with names changed and some words changed both from same city, so maybe they are from same consulting company, i have to dig through in detail to figure out a good resume and finally the chances are that I may have gone through a bloated resume are high.

One suggestion that is in above post is good, INS can releease skills associated with filing h1b petition and match with skills on resume.

I agree with you. But i made those comments immediately after reading that other post. Those comments are not good for any EB2-I. He/she should not post like that.

We all want our GCs come ASAP, but one should not cry for other's advantage. Otherwise i am OK to fight to bring justice to all.


Those are not nice words. You can always tell that person that his/her logic was wrong but don't say that EB3 folks deserve the long wait. If everyone of us had applied for EB2, then EB2 queue would be in the same plight as EB3 today, don't forget that!

And realize that most of the EB3 folks actually deserve to be in EB2 but for their respective Organization's policy to apply for EB3. I mean to say, it wasn't an option for many.

Does your old company withdraw I140? If the answer is No, then you should move.

My priority date is Jan 04 EB2 and I have a very good job offer. I am in dilemma whether to change the job or just wait for the PD to become current. I have recently got my H1 approval for 3 more year on the basis for 140 approval.

Now that you are on EAD, what is your plan of action if your I-485 is denied (for a valid/invalid reason)? What do you think of (1) above?

AS I understand : After 6 years, the moment I-485 is denied H1 becomes invalid.

Employee-Employeer can be in agreement to use "Unauthorized work protection - 245(k) - six months", continue to work and immediately apply MTR.

This is complex area and I don't understand fully. Please don't give red dots for these tough questions. I already reduced giving answers from 5-6 per day to one in 5-6 day.

One of the option is when previous employer revoked the H1B then you can see the status as reopen.
