Gurus,

Which is more reliable / popular, scottrade.com OR scottradeR.com ?

is it possible to get answer to this question by infopass?

For people like us in the far flung areas, it would be helpful if IV posts a transcript or better yet record the event and make it available online so that we can at least feel like we have participated :) Just an idea.

Bump^^^^

can you please let us know some details. I am in the same situation.
Nov2004, eb3, i140 approved and i485 applied.

1. What happens to the present ead, after filing the new i140.
2.after i140 do we have to apply for new i485?

Answers in Red Ink Below....

Thanks a lot for your reply. I really appreciate if you can aswer the following:
Can I transfer my H1B to another company (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/#) once my old employer has appealed the H1B denail notice?

Nope. Your old H1 has already expired. So it has to be altogether a new H1 B application even though the old one is in appeal.

if the appeal on denial goes in my favor then whether I am going to get extension with I-94 or without I94?

I don't know the answer to this. According to my knowledge, once you apply for new H1 B & its approved, the old one is of no use even though the the appeal is in your favor. But its better check with the lawyer on this & if you get the answer to this one, pls. do let me know too.

Again, I am not a lawyer. All the above answers are based on personal experience. All The best ....



Thanks again. I will let you know but I believe since the old I-94 is already expired the extension will be given without I-94.

Also do you know if the same company (which has filed for my H1B extension and got denial) can file new H1B for me?

10/19/2010: Senator Grassley of IA (R) Drops Second Bombshell Placing Immigrant Community in Shocks and Speechless

The Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa lately dropped the first bomb by obtaining and releasing to the media the USCIS internal memo on the Administrative Alternatives to the CIR, stirrming a political quackmire. Last week, he dropped the second bomb by releasing his letter to the USCIS Director accusing him of pressuring the California Service Center adjudicators to speed up adjudication of petitions.

This Senator is real Anti Legal immigrant and does not have much knowledge of suffering and perseverance immigrants have in general. This guy should be educated soon properly.

There should be boat load of people who have their I140 approved and stuck. Irrespective of the population, it is important that this be addressed. They are one job away from loosing status. By issuing a 3 year employer independent EAD before a PR number becomes available is worthy cause. By this way, everyone in the pipeline knows that someday their paperwork will be cleared for good and until then they have the EAD to keep them going. The very fact that an I140 has been approved for a petitioner and the intent to immigrate has been approved, should allow the petitioner the temporary relief of having the choice to work and live little better. The the only thing that is preventing your status validated is the availability of Visa number, which is more of a procedural/legislative issue. So, hope this request is pushed in one or another form.

Guys,Please do something for priority dates to be current.We are despirately waiting from 4years to file I-485...EAD...I-140 is approved long back.Atleast in this summer we are hoping......

I just _have_ to ask: what game was that?

Do you think the birth certificate from Indian consulate ( here in US) are acceptable?
Did you try that option?

Looks like they (TSC) are now processing July 3rd onwards. Any July 2nd filler , filled at TSC still waiting. Also do you know if your name check was cleared.

No Sir..Management is also included in 15-1031.00 - Computer Software Engineers, Applications. Here is quote from O*Net

"Supervise the work of programmers, technologists and technicians and other engineering and scientific personnel."

Link: http://online.onetcenter.org/link/summary/15-1031.00

Nope...this supervision is in the capacity of a senior engineer/technical resource. Once the word manager appears in the role it falls into the manager basket which I believe is is code 11.* It will probably never occur to the IO to consider job code 11 for a manager.

Perhaps there are some bold risk-takers out there willing to take chances and claim to be in code 15 although they have manager profiles, but I am not one of them.

I don't know about the wide angle lenses, but I don't think that would help that much in the dof problem you have.

Use this DOF calculator for your camera:

http://dfleming.ameranet.com/dofjs.html

The Sony at 38mm 12 inches away at f8 give you a near of of 11.8 and a far of 12.1. At 28mm 12 inches away you can get a near of 11.7 and far of 12.3.

If you play a bit with the calculator there, you can get an idea of the dof you can achieve with or without the wide angle lenses.

Search SDL its a nice way to learn graphics and moving imges and such.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_DirectMedia_Layer

Whoa! The guy says he wants to learn Win32 and you point him at SDL? Interesting! :)

Everything that you want to do can be achieved without touching DirectX or OpenGL (and hence SDL), and using them will only confuse you if you're looking to learn to write Windows code.

I'd recommend attempting your problem using nothing but Win32 and the core C++ functionality - IMHO, you should avoid muddying the waters with other APIs.

Just my $0.02.

Chang from Cap Exempt to Cap Number H1B requires that you file the change when the visa is available during the FY which in H1B case is April 1st. The years spent on Cap Exempt status like not for profits is counted towards the 6 Yr limit.

Hi,

My mother-in-law is coming to US on 2nd Dec on a one-way ticket, she will be going back around March 09 i.e. in almost 4 months.
As we dont know abt the dates as such of return so we have booked a one-way ticket from India to US.

Will there be any problem due to that at port of entry?

Do she also need to carry travel insurance along with her?

Thanks in advance.

Buy a two way ticket with future date and adjust the later according to her comfort. With one-way ticket, your in-law will have a problem in convincing a POE officer that she will return. Do the math!

Me and my wife are on pending I-485 AOS. Mine is employment based (EB3) and my wife's is derivative.

I-140 is approved.

I work here on EAD. My wife had to travel to India urgently. She applied for Advance Parole, but had to leave before she received the Advance Parole.

Now she wants to return back, but as she has not yet received Advance Parole, will she need to apply for Visa?
Or is it better to wait for Advance pArole decision?
If Visa, under what category?

Thanks

Consult with your current company immigration attorney and find out why your current job will not qualify for EB2.

Just in case start your EB3 GC and port your PD to this new GC I-140. That will help you with the H1B renewal for 3 years. You have got 14 more months. you should be able to get I-140 filed by then, do a premium for I-140 to get it approved by the time you renew your H1B.

Renewing your H1B based on the revoked I-140 would be risky.
Did USCIS sent you any notice that your 485 is not valid ?

"contact us" gets so many messages everyday (which are first thoroughly cleared by security), that even standard acknowledgement takes days. I don't think your acknowledgement came after somebody read and understood your priority date or country limit immigration concerns.

security clears of what? Anthrax?
For heaven's sake, those are just text, right? I dont think we can do an attachment..
