Thanks for the quick response.
I couldnt find the form on the uscis website, which generally lists supplemental forms next to the main ones. Couldnt even find a link to this, so wasnt sure if my doc was doing the right thing or following some old procedure.
One more question : I-693 has 4 copies (one for uscis, one for self, one for doc etc). Does it matter which copy goes to uscis (since they are basically the same, except for the text in the bottom which denotes the copy).
Because I think my doc put his copy in the sealed envelope, and gave me a photocopy of that.
Should I go back and have him redo the form (he has bad handwriting too, like most doctors)?

All, My employer who filed my eb2 application for green card was not giving me labor certification copy and 140 approval notice copy, he is a desi consulting company and as usual with desi company they were giving me tough time to get this documents. (You all know reason.. they think that i will quite). So what i did is requested USCIS to get my I-485 petition copy (remember that if you request 140 or labor copy directly they will not give because it seems that is employer's documents, i discussed this with couple of lawyers as well). since 485 is your application and these documents are mandatory you will get them.
It took about 10 months to get the document with FOIA request (there is a queue as well).
This is what i did
1. Download FOIA form from uscis website.
2. Fill up form and don�t forgot it get notary ( mention to send each and every page of petition).
3. Wait for document...
I will be happy to help anybody who is in same boat.
Thanks you.

You could travel out and enter into US using your old visa stamp assuming that you enter before your old visa stamp expires. However show the new approved I-797 H1B petition at port of entry and they MOSTLY will give you a new I-94 valid till the expiration of new I-797 approval.
That's wonderful news and thank you for that. Is there a benefit of getting a 1-94 upto the extended date, does 1-94 determine the visa validity not the actual visa stamp? Since I-94 is taken when exiting US the next entry requires visa stamp anyway?
Thanks again.

Go to this URL on USCIS :
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/caseStatusSearchDisplay.do
and search for a currently pending or approved case. It gives an error. Or is it just me? Can someone check and verify?

Hello All,
I have a certain queries regarding the transfer from L2 to H1B.
My husband is on L1 and me on L2 with my EAD still under processing. However my husband's firm wants to get his visa converted to H1 which automatically cancels my L2 status and I would have to apply for H4.
So now my query is for how long will his status of L1 be valid will it be till the start date of H1B, or the minute he files in his papers for H1B or when his H1B gets approved?
Thanking you in anticipation.

I guess it means nothing to us. My file has moved over the years from CA -> NE -> SJ NBC -> TSC.
TSC was the most efficient machinery USCIS had. Someone in NSC may not have liked this, so they are moving the old files to TSC to make it look just as bad. :D

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will celebrate the grand opening of its new field office and application support center in Bedford on Thursday, Sept. 2, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, naturalization ceremony and tours of the facility. USCIS Associate Regional Director Shelley Goodwin will preside during the naturalization ceremony and will administer the Oath of Allegiance to 25 citizenship candidates. She will be joined by USCIS� Boston District Director Denis Riordan and USCIS� Manchester Field Office Director Simon Abi Nader.
Gov. John Lynch will join USCIS and delivering remarks for the special naturalization ceremony. Joining USCIS for the ribbon-cutting ceremony will be Bedford Town Manager Russell Marcoux, Mayor of Manchester Ted Gatsas and Glenn C. Rotondo, acting regional administrator of General Services Administration, New England region.
The new office, at 9 Ridgewood Road, will provide a range of immigration services, including naturalization interviews, lawful permanent resident processing, fingerprinting and photographic services and is well-suited to serve the area�s immigrant community. The new facility replaces the former Manchester location on Canal Street. The new office is based on a national model for new USCIS office locations throughout the country.
The new building is being dedicated to Sgt. Major Abraham Cohn, Civil War Medal of Honor recipient. Cohn was born in 1832 in Guttentag, an East Prussian town. He immigrated to the U.S. in the mid-19th century and fought for the Union during the Civil War serving with the 6th New Hampshire Infantry Volunteers. He was awarded the Medal of Honor �for conspicuous gallantry� in the Battle of the Wilderness (May 6, 1864) and �for bravery & coolness� at the Battle of the Crater (July 30, 1864).
The 25 citizenship candidates originate from 13 countries: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil, China, France, Iran, Kosovo, Malaysia, Pakistan, Poland, Russia, Sudan, Thailand and United Kingdom. The ribbon cutting will take place at 11 a.m. with the naturalization ceremony to follow at 1 p.m.

Hello,
My friend has H1 and working for company A. He transferred his H1 and started working for company B (Its been 4 weeks and he has 2 paystubs from company B).
He is sure that company A didn't revoked / cancelled his H1. Now he wants to move to company A (old one). Is this possible?
or does he need to re-transfer his H1 from copnay B to company A?
Please advise.
Thanks
He/She can join old company as long as H1b from the old company is not revoked. There is no need for any H1b transfer as long as old company's H1b is valid. Just go and join them back if they are willing to take him. Lot of people of H1b do this. Hope this helps.

I agree that option B is the correct choice. They are looking for you to have a stable residency, so having it established as the application time nears makes the most sense. Still, I would consult with an expert or an attorney if you have the opportunity.

I agree with you that you need to go with lawyers who are really specialized in immigration especially when the case is complicated.
I know a person whos company lawyer screwed up the case. (They are from a very reputed law firm). Then she went with Murthy, they did a great job and got it done for her. They charged her a lot but it was worth it.
So get the best out there. It may be expensive but if it fixes your case its worth it.
GCPOOL,
Thanks for the info you shared. I agree with you. Do you know if Rajiv's office can deal with PD porting issues successfully?

They do random inspection on applications. Some people who have no work permit are being inspected if they are working illegally and some are found to be.....even if they do not accept pay or just saying they are volunteers.....
I guess you're being inspected. If you're not working without a work permit, you should be ok.
I am not working at all. But what about Interim EAD. Can I get while waiting for FBI clearence and hold on the application

I am a UK citizen brought up in India. I am in US now working on H1-B. Since I plan to return to India after few years for good, I decided to apply for OCI(overseas citizens of India)/dual citizenship of India.
I will have to apply for green card after few years to maintain my employee status here in USA.
Now, the question is, will I get privilege if I am UK citizen compared to dual citizen of India when I apply for US green card?
If I get any privilege(like quicker processing time, etc) I will just get a visitor's visa/PIO card of India for now.
Please advice. I am really confused. Thank you.

Simply going by the voting standpoint, I think between now and 08 elections, politicians will have little incentive do anything about our case (i.e., legal immigration) realistically. I'm not sure whether we represent a % of voter population that's high enough for them to place our case on their priority list. Moreover, giving us GC now will probably benefit them (in terms of votes) at least after 5.5 years once the GC holders are citizens and hence able to vote.
Just my thought for what its worth.

Hello,
If someone is going to be filing for I-140 on a recently approved EB2 (India) while on H1-B in USA with same employer, is it better to check the first box (Alien will apply for visa at a consulate abroad - meaning consular processing of 485) instead of AOS? My understanding is once I-140 is approved and if 485 dates become current, then if CP has been indicated on I-140, then the consulate abroad will order visa number in the month after and the person should get an interview call, even if the dates retrogress back in the following months?
In that case indicating CP is better than AOS on I-140? If so, can the person continue to work on H-1 while waiting for the interview call at consulate abroad?
Thoughts appreciated. Anyone please?
Thanks

An A# is allotted whenever you file for AOS (either employment or relationship based or any other category eligible) and the USCIS accepts your I-485. This will be your A# for the rest of your life and will be on any subsequent filings (irrespective of the category .. immigrant or non-immigrant) with the USCIS.
I am not really sure about the A# allotted when you file for F1/OPT (I never had an F1). Please check with a qualified legal specialist.
Hello --
Do any of you know what the A# is on the I-485 / I-130 / I-765 etc is for people who have previously held an F-1 / OPT-related A#? I have seen previous forums stating that OPT A#s begin with a "1" which connotes an OPT status; however I am not clear whether we are supposed to use that same A# on our I-485 and other GC-related documents, or leave that space blank.
Sorry this is redundant but previous posts don't seem to clarify a definitive answer to this question. Many thanks in advance.

hello..
My h1 is valid till march 2010.. but the i-94 i have is expiring in Oct.. (i changed my job ..and had been out of US..on the old stamping..)
Can iget it extended staying in US? or do i have to leave get it restamped in desh.. ?
Is it illegal to stay on expired i-94..but witha valid H1?????????
The timing of when you travelled and when your extension was approved are critical. It looks like you travelled after the extension was approved, but you just used the old visa to enter. CIS has a "last action" rule, whereby the last thing they do regarding your status is what governs. If you got an I-94 to October 2009, after the extension to 3/10 was approved, then the 10/09 date governs and you need to file an extension. Alternatively, you could travel and return showing the valid visa and new approval to get the new approval date on the I-94.
