On October 2, 2009, The U.S. State Department launched the 2011 Diversity Visa Program. Between October 2 to November 30, 2009, applicants from countries around the world may register for a chance at winning one of the 55,000 immigrant visas that are drawn randomly from all eligible applicants. The State Department will notify all successful applicants between May - July 2010 of their selection. Applicants will then be able to start the visa application process in October 2010.
The State Department has announced (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Diversity%20Visa.pdf)that during the first week of registration, they have received over 900,000 entries. This reflects a 63% increase in applications over the same period last year. [/URL]

My attorney has asked for the I-485 to be printed:
double sided with Flip to Top option.
Did anyone else do the same?

USCIS will consider only your qualifications and experience only at the time of applying for labor against the jobs requirements. You dont have to update USCIS with your latest qualifications.
It was a NIW filing - so no job description or I-129.

Democrats are on a dual strategy here. By backing farm labor they are trying to get the votes of the latinos. By not allowing this to wade in to other skilled jobs they are keeping their union members protected.
Democrats should be seen to be what they are. If you live in CA, you must e-mail Diane and ask her why she is discriminating against Indians, Chinese, Fillipinos etc.
By the time amendments are added the bill will be too heavy to pass in the senate and there will be no legislation passed! I am almost at the point of writing to my senators to vote against the bill!
its all politics for votes...

Do i have to leave the country? isnt there another option?
As mentioned earlier, you will be out of status so leaving the country for 15 days is the best option.
You can also apply for extension of H4 from 15 Sep. The problem with that will be of timing. If your H4 gets approved after H1 then you will be in H4 status from Sep 15. In that case you will have to again apply for change of status to H1.

Anyone out there knows the answer?
I am currently working for Company A which sponsors my H1B. I wonder if I can work for another company on a part time basis. What's the requirement for concurrent H1B filing? And does concurrent H1B filing requires a new H1B application against the quota? Please provide guidance.

I am in a worst scenario , just changed a job couple of months ago. I have labor and I-140 approved from Company A. I have even paid $6000 to company A to sponsor my GC and $5500 for a visa transfer. After joining company B i didn't start labor again. Begging Company A to give an employement letter , they have even cancelled my H1b visa so I can't join them back unless i pay H1b visa transfer fee and a pay-cut. Wondering if it is even worth it ?

Hi,
This is really stupid of USCIS to assume that we would stay in the same position for 6-7 years before they can re open the case.
I don't know the answer to your question, but I would think if you are staying at the same place with the same company shouldn't be an issue as long as you stay in the same department.
e.g. if you start in IT as an engineer and then during the GC process you change to a managerial role this should be o.k.
But it you shift from IT to sales with the same salary there would be an issue.
my 2 cents

So that means it starts prior to Dec'9th for my case..????
For July filers these 2 dates are way too far.. for June filers there'll be few days difference only...
The RD (Receipt Date) is the date USCIS received your application. And 180 days for AC21 triggers from this date.. Not the ND (Notice Date), when USCIS actually enached your checks and issued you a receipt... The CRIS website usually shows ND...
Seems your RD is June 9th... Confirm from your I-485 receipts too...

Hi,
My case is a bit complicated. So, your advice will be of great help.
Shortly after arriving to the country, without knowing much about immigration laws, my company applied for an EB3 PERM labor certification, although I hold a Master's degree! But, my company lawyers lack any experience! Anyway, the LC was approved in October. However, as you have guessed, retrogression was there, and I've started the waiting phase.
After reading more about rules and law, I've decided to ask the lawyers to file using EB2. One month later, they've filed another LC in EB2. Naturally, this one was rejected because DOL doesn't allow multiple filing for the same position! Once more, my lawyers proved their inefficiency, and said, it's a mistake and filed for an appeal. Until this day, the appeal is in limbo, because the guys at DOL don't even want to look at at. All our requests for info went unanswered!
Anyway, now the visa bulletin for June shows that my EB3 date has become really close, it's June 2005 for my case (EB3 World), while my PD is July 2005! I thought, finally it's time to go on with I-140. Asking my lawyers, they've adviced that I should withdraw my EB3 and the stalled EB2 and file another EB2!!! Of course I wondered as you did, "why didn't they say so earlier", but their answer was that the law and company rules just changed!
Well, instead of risking both EB3 and EB2, I've asked to withdraw the non moving EB2 only, and see what happens in July visa bulletin, which I believe would move at least by a month. I'm still waiting for my EB2 withdrawal decision too.
So, my question to the experts on this forum, what should I do next? Let's say my EB3 PD becomes current, should I just file for my green card, and hope it doesn't retrogresses while my application is being processed?
Or should, I withdraw my EB3 too and start the whole process in EB2. I'm very worried an EB2 LC request would gets complicated this time too! At the same time, I'm worried the EB3 category gets retrogressed while my I-485 is being processed and I would have to wait even longer. What do you think?
Well, that was long. So, thanks for reading and waiting to hear your recommendations and experiences.
take care,
mik

I have a approved I-140. Applied for 3 year H1 extension in Oct 2006. 3 year H1 extension approved on 5th Feb 2007. Received H4 dependents extensions. Did not receive my I-797. Requested my consulting company to check why I did not receive my I-797 with I-94. They lied to me that they called USCIS and I/they/lawyer will get copy in 30/45 days. My MN drivers license got canceled/suspended on 04/24/2007 because I did not submit approved I-797/I-94. Company lawyer informed my company that they applied under premium processing for duplicate copy on 04/16/2007. I called USCIS and they told me this is bullshit. There is no premium processing for duplicate document. Lawyer does not want to reveal which form he filed for duplicate document. I also applied this week using form I-824 for duplicate copy of approved H1 extension. Called USCIS, and they said I will get a receipt number in 15 days and copy in 2-3 months. This copy will not include I-94, so it is useless. What options do I have. My lawyer is an American and he thinks it is below his dignity to answer my calls.
What options do I now have? Any options will be appreciated.

If your new employer is processing a H1 then you do not need EAD to initiate AC 21.
If the new employer is not processing a H1 then you would need to show your new employer the EAD inorder to start working for them. You say that you have the A# but do you also know the start and end date for the EAD? Your new employer needs to have all these to fill the I-9 form. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BUY UPTO 90 DAYS TO SHOW THE EAD. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE I-9 FORM. I HAVE ATTACHED A PORTION OF IT FOR YOUR REFERENCE.
READ THE I-9, EMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION.
Employers must complete Section 2 by examining evidence of identity and employment eligibility within three (3) business days of the date employment begins. If employees are authorized to work, but are unable to present the required document(s) within three business days, they must present a receipt for the application of the document(s) within three business days and the actual document(s) within ninety (90) days.

First of all please forgive me for creating a new thread. I am just trying to see whether any one in the same boat and what it could be.
I just found soft luds on my previous H1B which was approbed in 2006 Feb and I-140 which was approved in Dec - 2006 (I-140 lud was after one week of H1B Luf change). I wonder what it could be? I know there is no logic and it is hard to predict what it might be. May be some standard updates as some one suggested. But these two did not change in years.
Any way, any one in the same boat?
thanks

It is their error and mistake. There is no time to correct. So, officer should understand.
becuase, his / her previous approval notices / I-94 copy on approval notice - the lower left part and I-94 the lower right part should have correct start and end dates. he can carry them.
In my son's I-94, the one previous to the lat/latest one, his country of citizenship was notes as Oman (and not India). During the last renwal, it was corrected to India. My attorney placed a note.
I went to Vancouver, BC in March 07 and got H1s stamped.
Any other experiences. Please, take a moment and share.
Hi all,
This is for my friend who got his 3 year H1- B extension recently.
He planned to visit India for stamping and already booked the air ticket + consulate appointment.
But the Visa validity start date in his I-797A is incorrect. He joined this company only in 2006 but the start date shown in I-797A is sometime in 2001.
Though the END date is correct, Is it going to cause any problem in his Visa stamping?
He got only 2 weeks to fly and skeptical about the turnaround timeframe to file for correction.
His lawyer says it is a very minor problem and will not affect the visa stamping.
Please share any similar experiences / ideas.
Thanks a lot

As your H-1B has been withdrawn prior to your filing for the H-1B change of employer, you are now out of status. An H-1B withdrawal is technically effective immediately upon receipt by USCIS.
The best bet would be to file for a new H-1B (assuming that you did not exhaust your six years of H-1B time) under the fiscal year cap as this has not been reached.
You should notify your legal counsel of the H-1B withdrawal and see how they want to handle it. While it is true that you are currently not in status, they may have an alternate policy.
