Friends,
I just got my PERM approved and I am debating about next steps of my eb-3.
it looks now that with the current retrogression the process will take 5 years. the company I am working for is not very stable and probably will be sold in the next 24 months.
I can look for another company that will sponsor me, but even if I will find one I need to start all over again and that will throw me at least 1 year back (not to mention the money I already spent so far, which was a lot)
What do you think

I wish nobody answers your question even if they knew. How does your question relate to your thread heading?? It is really bad when people start posting catching headings and then post something that is not at all connected.
Thank you very much for catching this....

Hi,
I am going to Mexico for H1b stamping next week. My I797 does not have my middle name. I used my middle name on all previous occassions like F1 Visa.
My passport also has the middle name in it.
Please let me know if anybody you know has faced such a situaiton. Is this a big deal ? Any help in this matter is highly appreciated.

Hourglass,
How responsive are they to our concerns. Are they accessible ?
Others, any experience, please share. If you are more comfortable send a PM.
I want to make the right decision. Thank You.
Hi there,
yes myself and couple of my friends went thru Mr Gotcher lawfirm. Strongly recommended, very experienced, specially handling tough cases.
Bit expensive though,
good luck.

I think we must also emphasise the point that all of us have to pass strict labor market tests supervised by DOL to be even eligible for green cards (and many of us have already passed that). That will blunt the rhetoric from the anti-immigrants and their attempts to obfuscate our issue with the illegal aliens. The tend to make americans believe that applying for a green card is just like applying for a drivers license and just about anyone is eligible.
The only other thing I think should be stressed is that we are already H1-b holders, already applied for green cards, so not taking any more jobs away from USCs. All we are asking for is expedited processing of our already filed applications.
Then Numbersusa or other anti-immigration groups have no points to raise against us

I entered on a H4 on my New Zealand passport and it is valid 2010. I now have a H1B ie a I-797A and a new I-94 that is also valid till 2010. I'm leaving the country for the first time to go to Australia.
Do I need to get a new visa stamp for my passport?
If you want to enter US as an H1-B, you will need an H1-B visa stamp on your passport.
If I need to get a new visa stamp, do I need to go back to New Zealand or can I do it in other countries?
You can do that from any consulate. However, note that there is a possibility that the IO will need a so-called "security check" which takes 2-3 months (and sometimes, years). In that case, you will be stuck outside US (you cannot get back to US while the security check is pending). So it is advisable to go to a country where you have a place to stay for a long time, if needed. For most people, it is their home country. Also the chances of getting a security check is higher if you go to a consulate other than the consulate in your home country.
Can I travel with my passport which shows the H4 visa and carry with me my I-797A and new I-94 to re-enter the country?
Thanks
You can, but then your status will be H4 and you will not be able to work. The principle is that your status is determined by the latest I-94 you receive. To work on H1-B, your latest I-94 (the one you got it while entering US or as attached with the I-797 form) must be for H1-B (the visa status is written on the I-94).

I'm new here and hope this is posted in the right forum.
I got my ASC Appointment Notice ( case type: I 90 Application to Replace Alien Registration Card) and need to show up to the Milwaukee USCIS office this Friday at 8a.m. for photo ID, biometrics, etc.
Problem is, the USCIS website says the office is closed on Fridays. Other websites say the office is open on Fridays (but they were updated over a year ago), and an immigration attorney website says the office is open Fridays but only until 12.
What to do?
I have to drive three hours just to get there . Do I go anyways and risk it?
The 1800 telephone numbers are no help and any local phone number is useless.
Anybody have suggestions or similar experience. Thanks. JAFO.

Depending on your state of residence this may not be enforceable on the part of vendor "y" as this is restricting flow of labor. Find out what the labor law says about such situation in your state.
Also since vendor "y" is not your employer such a restriciton may not apply anywhere!

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
Effective January 21, 2010, the Department of Labor's iCERT online system will be updated to allow the submission of electronic prevailing wage determination requests. This electronic process will allow Employers and/or their Designated Representatives to submit and obtain prevailing wage determinations (PWD) for use in the H-1B, H-1B1 (Chile/Singapore), H-1C, H-2B, E-3 (Australia), and permanent labor certification programs through the iCERT portal.
Until January 21, 2010, all prevailing wage determination requests must continue to be submitted by U.S. Mail or comparable physical delivery service to the Washington, D.C. address listed below.
BACKGROUND - On December 19, 2008, the Department published a Final Rule addressing the Labor Certification Process and Enforcement for Temporary Employment in Occupations Other Than Agriculture or Registered Nursing in the United States (H-2B Workers), and Other Technical Changes. The Final Rule implemented a federalized process for obtaining PWD requests for use in the H-2B temporary nonagricultural labor certification program directly from the Employment and Training Administration's (ETA) appropriate National Processing Center (NPC)--which was designated as the Chicago NPC.
Furthermore, effective as of January 1, 2010, the Final Rule also federalized PWD for use in the H-1B, H-1B1 (Chile/Singapore), H-1C, E-3 (Australia), and the permanent labor certification programs.
Requestors must submit PWD requests using the Application for Prevailing Wage Determination, Form ETA-9141 (http://www.h1bvisalawyerblog.com/Prevailing%20wage%20Request%20FORM.pdf).
Requestors must submit PWD requests to the NPWHC by U.S. Mail or comparable physical delivery service at the following address until January 21, 2010 when electronic means are available:
U.S. Department of Labor-ETA, National Prevailing Wage and Helpdesk Center,
Attn: PWD Request:
1341 G Street, NW
Suite 201
Washington, DC 20005-3142
In summary, State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) and the Chicago NPC no longer accept and process PWD requests received on and after January 1, 2010. All PWD Requests submitted on and after 1/1/2010 must be centralized and processed at the DOL Washington, D.C. office until electronic means are available on January 21, 2010.

Apologies if this is covered in a thread elsewhere (doubt it)
A colleague and I both filed EB2 PERM labors at around the same time in 2005.
Our 140s got approved roughly together too/
We both also applied for 485 on July 2nd, through the same lawyer, and both applications went to TSC.
Both of us saw our checks get encashed on the same date.
Here's where our applications diverged.
He received an LUD last friday and his EAD card has been ordered.
I received an FP request today(monday) but no LUD updates.
Although our applications are a bit dis-similar (he is married, i filed single), I have this theory that USCIS is splitting their queue, so as to not bombard its internal departments with the flood of work that has recently come in.
It makes total sense to split people into two groups (atleast), and for each:
a) send them EAD cards with a note of FP pending.
b) send them FP notices and do their EAD later.
(I know another friend who is in group a, while I'm in b)
Yes, we all like to bitch and moan about USCIS, but thats generally emo-talk.
So, has anyone else noticed this, or can anyone help me understand what I'm missing here.
This is just me speculating, but I'd like to throw this thought out there and have it rebound with your inputs.

The company will have to sponsor the H1 in full. Not enough to just give you an employment verification letter.
Also as per the rules, you cannot pay for the H1. Only the company can pay for it.
Thanks for your reply.I thought it's a possiblity that we can transfer with an employment letter.Looks like its not.

I had my H1b till Nov 16, 2010 with Company1
Company2 applied for H1b transfer and it was approved as of Nov 08, 2010 ( but we didn't get any notification about it it's approval until few weeks later)
Company1 filed for H1b extension on Nov 10, 2010
I properly resigned Company1 on Nov 30, 2010 and started working with Company2 on Dec 1, 2010
Somehow Company1 didn't terminate my H1b extension and it got approved as of Jan 18, 2011.
1) Which status am I in? What decides my status?
2) Can I continue working for Company2 without any problems? Has this new approval put my transfer in jeopardy?
3) Do I need to update Company2 about Company1's extension approval?
4) Do I need to leave the Country to do any stamping?
Please help!!
You can have multiple H1B visas at a time ...no problem..... both your H1B's are valid
you can work for both employers at a time if you can :)
Thanks
