we are going through it right now.
planning to file g-28 only and not AC-21 letter.
Will wait for a RFE to send a AC-21 letter.
Are you self filling G-28 or doing through another lawyer?
Thanks
Thanks for the info.
Planning to thru another lawyer - only because I dont know how to do it on my own and dont want to take any chance. Someone earlier mentioned that if we do it on our own - we may not receive any acknowledgement but if we do it thru antoher lawyer they receive some sort of confirmation.
I am not sure if its true or the logic behind it but thought of going thru a lawyer - he is charging me for both G-28 and AC21 even though AC21 is not done now (which is ok with me).
If RFE does come at some point - do you know how much time we typically have to reply?

Here is a quick update from the California Service Center regarding this new fee. The additional filing fees of $2,000 for certain H-1B petitions and $2,250 for certain L- 1A and L-1B petitions is applicable to petitioning employers who employ 50 or more employees in the United States and 50% of the petitioner�s employees are in H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status. The PL 111-230 fees do not apply to petitions requesting an extension of H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status with the same employer (only for initial filings for a new beneficiary).
When the fee is not required, it is critical that the petitioner explicitly acknowledge this and explain why it is not required in the I-129 filing. If this is not done, USCIS will likely issue a Request for Evidence asking for a statement from the petitioner, causing unnecessary delays in processing.
The Service Center previously stated:
Until the Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (Form I-129) and the Nonimmigrant Petition Based on Blanket L Petition (Form I-129S) are revised, USCIS recommends that all H-1B, L-1A, and L-1B petitioners include, as part of the filing packet, the new fee or a statement or other evidence outlining why this new fee does not apply. USCIS requests that petitioners include a notation indicating whether or not the fee is required in bold capital letters at the top of the cover letter. The fee, statement, notation, or other evidence should be provided with each petition submitted. Where the fee or documentation is not submitted with the filing, or where questions remain, USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence to determine whether the additional fee applies to the petition.The following is a sample statement that the petitioner employer could use:
By this statement we confirm that our company (the petitioner) is not required to pay the H-1B filing fee under Public Law 111-230. Our business does not have more than 50 percent of our employees in the United States in H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant visa status. Therefore, we are not required to pay the additional filing fee.
Please email me with any questions regarding the above referenced info.

We got H-1B 7th year extension approved (through Premium processing) at CSC on 06/12/2008. The extension of stay was also approved. We received the I-797C (courtesy copy) and travelled to India with it (along with all the relevant documentation for the H-1B visa stamping) at Chennai. We now realize that we need to I-797A and for some reason the company's legal dept did not receive this yet. The legal dept usually receives both I-797A and I-797C. The chennai consulate does not accept I-797C for stamping.
What are our options here. Though I-140 is approved and I-485 is pending for us, I had not applied for EAD/AP since I plan to continue with my current employer (agreed it was a mistake that I did not apply for the AP). I am with my family now here in Chennai and have to return to the US at the end of July. Will the USCIS send us a duplicate since we never received the original I-797A. The other option is to file I-824 but the processing time is crazy long. Is their expedited processing available for this due to the urgency of the situation? Please help with your valuable inputs.
Thanks. MP70
I-824 processing is heavily backlogged both in VSC and CSC - I guess, there is no PP or expedite option available for duplicate notices. Did you have valid and unexpired H1B stamp on your passport when you left US?

I am in the same situation. I am on my 8th year of H1 and this is for the first time I am have heard so much hoopla that has made me real nervous. My lawyer has advised me against taking any risk. I already have the tickets but I am planning to postpone, apply for EAD and only then go to India.
Please note that this is only me and I might have a comletely different risk tolerance than you might have.
You may already know but, make sure you also have an APPROVED Advance Parole before travel.

EB1 I/C each is increasing from 3K to 6K, EB2 ROW is increasing from 10K to about 30K

What the denial notice says? Your options are to file a new H-1B ... in the meantime please appeal the case immediately as this will buy time.
Regarding other options, you can either re-enter US on B-1 or visit a consulate and get H-4 stamped.

1. your employer has to proffer you a position which has either BS+5 or advanced degree as minimum requirement.
2. you accept it and ask your employer to start the GC process.
3. your employer applies for Labor Certification for the proffered position.
4. your employer applies for 140 for the cleared labor. here the employer requests the USCIS to use the earlier PD of your approved EB3 140

my lawyers have indicated that i would need a 551 stamp in the passport if the card doesn't arrive on time, using AP etc is not an option.
anyone been through this situation and has more details?
thanks
Oh ok,i think if you are outside US when your GC approved then AP is the only option..May be getting 551 stamp on PP is the option in this case..

I called USCIS to check the status of my pending I-485,PD-Dec2005. I was told they are processing applications with ND in July . My RD-2 July 2007 ,ND -28 Aug 2007.
Since there was no email or online update about my approved AP,I-131, I asked rep to check the status out of curiosity, I was told that case is still pending and they are processing April 2008 applications.
Here is the weird part; I received my approved AP 4 days back. How did that happen ????:eek::eek::eek: I donno.
I know the online status is out of sync. My questions -Is this something I need worry about and call USICS to let them know that I have already received approved AP. I donno what�s going on with my other applications. Should I just wait to see the results in the mail and not rely on online status??
Gurus and thopes pls help

I think if one is in hell, USCIS can hand deliver..
Heaven is another Story (storey?).. :-)
But as a recent believer in buddhist ideals, I think I will just be a cow in my next life..
That brings up a good point.. as a cow, it would be a bad life for me in USA.. India would be much better bet.. I would be worshipped and rarely eaten.. hmm.. Thinking ahead of the curve, I think I will apply for a "cow green card" for India.. Cows will be clamouring to get to India.. I will be mooing away soon..

Hey All,
I am brand new to macro photography. I just got a 60mm Nikkor and the issue I am having is extremely narrow focus area when shooting a tight macro. Is there a way to compensate for this or is buying an extension really the only way.
Thanks for your input.

I am a freelancer and I plan to write an article for a California based Asian Newsletter about the political views of the Immigrant community.
Most EB Immigrants (now citizens) have forgotten what's it like to be an "Immigrant in a limbo". Let's remind them!! Your thoughts might inspire someone to reconsider their decisions.
I was in your shoes in the mid 90's. and I am aware that most of you are in the midst of a messy immigration process.
But, if you had an opportunity, who would you choose and why?

Hello Madam/Sir,
I have applied in EB2-NIW category and filed I485 concurrently during July-August 2007 season. My wife also did the same to maximize the chance. Both of our I140 were approved recently.
Now, we have two sets of I485 pending (in one, I am the primary applicant, my wife is the dependent and in other, she is the primary applicant and I am the dependent). We both are doing job in the same company in the same position. Since we are from India, it will take probably a long time before our I485s get approved. Since the economical sitatution is not well in recent time, we planned to keep both I485 active in case something unforeseen happen to one of us; so that the other set of application will still be active.
We recently got a RFE for our birth certificate/parentage information. We have got birth certifactes from Indian Consulate, affidavifits from our mothers (since mothers name was not included in original birth certificate) and letters from our schools.
Since we were not sure whose EB2-NIW application would be approved, we kept both sets of I485 application active. Now, we were wondering if there is a problem in having multiple I485 pending at USCIS (of course they are related to differenet I-140). We would like to know if it is better to withdraw one set of application at this point. Is there any risk of cancellation of both I485 due to multiple submission?
Your answers/views will be highly helpful for us. Please reply.
Thank you so much, in advance.

This week, the President held another meeting with pro-immigration advocates where he proclaimed the need for immigration reform. Haven't we heard this time after time from the President? Running against the Republicans on this issue is a no brainer for the President. But what exactly is President Obama doing beyond giving speeches? President Obama had both Houses of Congress in his first two years in office. Did he ever actually propose an immigration reform bill? No, he decided to let Congress sort it out for themselves rather than leading on the issue. And when he lost control of the House...
