Giddu,

If the premium processing unit sent an e-mail that the petition was approved it does indeed mean it was approved.

Ignore the online status and expect the approval notice in the mail. No need need to panic.

This is from my own experience.


My attorney received an email notice of I-140 approval (PP) on Mon, June 25. But the online case status showed the application as pending. Finally,today my attorney called and was told that due to "system glitch ", approval notices were sent out in error!! It seems this has done to others too!!
Did anyone else encounter this?

this will be approval notice of your H1-B or H1-B extension. Ask your lawyer again what letter he is talking about.

He is talking about the original first letter of approval , not an extension

I'm in. I don't mind providing my information. This is a procedural confrontation, we can't take our proper position in such while trying to remain anonymous. So we are still doing a group letter, correct? Thank you.

Guys,

Please signup for monthly recurring contribution. Now it is critical time for all IV members, so atleast contribute now and make the job easy for core members. $20 contribution monthly can make lot of difference for the core team to pay bill's for lobbying and get the job done.

for eg: $20*2000 members(we have more than 11000 members currently) = $40,000 per month

Think on it, you are contributing for your future.

Can you share you're thoughts for my post?

I recommend talking to a lawyer. Remember, that you (and your partner) are certifying and signing all forms. So, if you are legally married, it would be perjury to leave the "spouse" field as blank.

Thanks,
Jayant

Added 2 more stamps. (eye theme)

DMV stopped issuing DL based on EAD card in Virginia. I guess it will be same for TX and other states. You need original I485 receipt to get one year extensiton. EAD no more valid document for extension.

Infopass IIO's are not the best in terms of reliability of their statements ...or actually opinions !

Most of them refer not the Feb 08 memo (180 day +) but the one that has given the timeline for Name Check backlog elimination !

see this one:

I have a valid H-1B valid till 18th feb 2011 for employment with my previous employer. I had changed employment and now have I797C for the new employer valid till Nov 2011. I plan to go to India and be back in 1 week, my employer would issue me a leave approval letter. My present employer is a big hospital-non profit and I am a health professional.

Can some one tell if would need to get a new visa stamped if I come back by 15th January 2011. What documents should I carry. Should I talk to a lawyer before I leave. My mom is stable now but I am afraid If dont go now, I might not be able to gor a long time as I dont want to get re-stamping done.

Please advice

Existing stamping is good even if the employer is changed. But for your unique situation, contact your lawyer..

akshayadalti -> person who voted yes...please provide more details
He is the one who says" Oops! I made a mistake" look at his screen name.. do you expect him to be right at all? :)

Akela,

I am not sure if line 14 of the ETA carries much significance. You can always submit your qualifications during I140.

Can you get a copy of ETA 750 Form A? That will tell you if the job requirements were filed under EB2 or Eb3.


Guys,
Please answer me the following question?

I have a masters from US and over 2 years of exp when I joined my company. They filed for my LC. There is nothing in form 750 B ETA that says if I am EB-2 or EB-3. In fact the line line 14 is blank which says list documents that support education, training, experience..etc. to be submitted during I-140. I suspect though on ETA 750 form A they made the advertisement as if I am eb-2. So the question is I do not see anything on line 14 of ETA form B. Is that a big blunder.
Did my lawyer blunder or I am ok?
My labor is not cleared yet. So no way to check I-140.

I know few things
ETA 750 FORM A probably filed as EB-2 (I have to believe my lawyer, they say I have been filed as EB-2 on repeated request).
ETA 750 form B of which I have a copy of (it was the one that I had to fill), line 14 says Item 14. Documentation. List any documents submitted with this form as evidence of the alien's qualifications. These may include statements from past employers, diplomas, and educational or training certificates. now this column is blank. Is that a problem? Did my lawyer made a big unrectified mistake.

Thanks,
akela

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Don't fret about the PERM time lines. It can take anywhere from 1 month to more than 6 months (for Fragomen clients) for PERM approvals/denials. .

Mine is rotting in Atlanta since last Nov.. courtesy Fragomen..

Good Luck

Keep it up Chandu...Thanks

this is a EB3 care and i'm the primary applicant not my spouse

In that case, your divorce should not affect your I-485. You only need to make sure that you (or your lawyer) withdraw the I-485/EAD/AP for your wife.

Thanks,
Jayant

I work in Health Insurance domain so if you need help in understanding the technical terms, may be I can help.

Kaiser Permanente mght be a good option if you are buying at individual level. I am not sure if they provide services in TN but if they do, then I would go for it. It is a HMO plan but KP hospitals provide reasonably good services at reasonable price in California.

Thanks for all your response. Kaiser does not provide in TN. when I get into trouble understanding the technical terms, i'll PM you.

DOS tried to update the system reflecting a big jump in the visa dates for May. The system was unused to any changes lately - leave aside such large forward movements - and as a result it crashed.

DOS managed to recover the system by replacing all date fields with character fields. The rumor is that the value for all those character fields is now "C", whatever that means.


Ha ha ha.

I am very keen to try and get a state chapter from Indiana. There have to be at least half a dozen of us.

There are millions of Starbucks in the area, maybe we can monopolize a corner in one of them some time.

From what I have read here then most of the replies are in the Indianapolis and northern suburbs, so I am proposing that we meet this Saturday at the Starbucks in Westfield!

By this location I mean where Ashleys furniture is on US 31 and 146th Street.

I can make it any time on Saturday but we have to set on a time, I am suggesting 11am.

1. In case of foreign currency payment, u can always walk to airline's kiosk in nearest airport and make a payment using any CC in USD.

2. Different travel sites have quota from airlines and they show different route/sector for different $$, so no one is best at all times!

2. Use aggregation search site like http://www.mobissimo.com to find best deals!
