My company has filed for EB-1 multinational manager for me.....I was on L1A earlier. I dont think the process is as fast as some folks think......specially since for EB1 manager category I140 premium processing is not allowed......
I guess the requirement for L1A is that one should be managing a business, people and processes...... and should have been employed in managerial capacity for the same company outside US......once L1A is done (it takes 5-6 days under premium procesing).....my understanding is that it establishes a strong basis for EB1 filing
Hey dont you think there should be some minim qualifications before you could be filed for as manager, for eg:- MBA or something like that? The so called friend of this guy is not a manager but is going to be made into a manager just for the EB1 purpose. How can they do that. I believe this is a Indian consulting company!!

Does the I-9 need to be refreshed each year?
I have a copy of my Jan 2009 I-94 which is not the most recent one - I believe that was the one that was sent to my employer's lawyers. In Jan 2010, I did get an original I-94 (the one I lost) but did not use it to apply for I-9 (atleast to the best of my knowledge).
Thanks for being so responsive and helping me out. The other thing is the time constraint that I have to take off on Dec 29th (tomorrow). What also worries me is that if I approach the Immigration/customs folks at the nearby airport, won't they basically ask me to fill an I-102 and wait for 3-6 months before I can travel? I don't want to do that since I need to travel now due to family issues.
I don't know how often the I9 has to be refreshed but it maybe 6 months to a year when I came back last time my employer asked for the I94 for I9 filing so they may most likely have your I94#. The I94 is the one that determines our legal status. The I102 process is long and not worth it, try talking to the local customs and immigration folks I know it may sound scary but most likely if they cannot issue you a replacement one they won't prevent you from travelling. As long as they are able to create a departure record for you for the 29th that should be ok, normally that is what happens with the I94, the airline staff submits it to these folks who would scan and enter in the system. To make things easy the best way is if you can get the I94# in anyway or you can just choose to travel nothing should stop you, but its always good to be honest and report things to the concerned agencies. All the best and good luck.

Take infopass, go with your welcome notice, get 551 stamp - it will allow you to travel until you get the physical card. Usually, 551 stamp is valid 1 year from the date of stamping.
I know some people who have traveled using 551 stamp in the past. They had to go through secondary inspection, carried all their docs with them, but everything went fine.

fatjoe,
There was an article that came out and here is the link to it: TSC-NSC update (http://imminfo.com/News/2009-AILA/TSC-NSC_update.html)
As the way I understood it, even your PD is not current, they are starting to pre-adjudicate some cases so that the Visa Center would know more or less how many visas are needed and how big the backlog is. This effort tries to eliminate unused visas and utilize most of it. So the way I see it is, USCIS pre-adjudicates cases, then those who are "pre-approve" will be sorted on a different place maybe database which will be submitted to the Visa Center. Now, once your PD comes (Visa Center is the one responsible for monthly Visa Bulletin), Visa Center will tell USCIS that this case is ok, USCIS then sends you your GC.
I was going through this forum and I have read some instances where the officer on the phone will or will not tell you if your case is pre-approve. So what they do is call back again and hoping that officer will divulge such information to you.
Thanks SL : Like I said before, the cust. rep. said that she did not have access to know check if the case is pre-adjudicated or not. So, I was wondering, how will the info would be accessible to any other cust. rep. May I be I will give it a shot one more time.

You're aware of the metering limitations (or really, none at all) of the D70 with manual focus lenses, and if you're set on outboard metering, you won't be affected. 6MP vs 10MP isn't that big of a difference until you start printing large (I'd say something greater than 11x17, but that depends on subject matter and personal taste). The D200's viewfinder is much better than the D70's, in my opinion from having used both (but unfortunately not side by side). The build quality is better, but I think both cameras would stand more rain than the average photographer (if you love standing in a downpour for hours, you're the exception, and you should get a waterproof bag no matter what camera you choose ; ).
I wouldn't worry so much about "outdated" technology. The D70 still takes great pictures, so don't let anyone convince you that it would be like driving a 25 year old beat-up car. While I'd just get the D200 (err, uh, I already did), if the expense is a concern, or if you don't need the features of the D200 but aren't sure if the D70 would be enough, consider these possibilities:
Try a D70 and a D1h - those two bodies used would together cost less than a D200, and would give you a camera for high resolution work and another for high speed/high ISO with better build quality, viewfinder, etc. albeit lower resolution and battery life.
Alternately, a slightly less expensive choice would be to get a single D1x. This gives the build quality advantages of the D1h along with as good of (or sometimes better) resolution as the D70, although battery performance would be lacking (you'd need two or three batteries for a full day of shooting, depending on LCD usage). The D1 series is capable of using center weighted and spot metering with AIS lenses, though matrix metering is disabled (the D200 can do matrix metering as well, when the lens data has been entered manually).

why not just a tracker? its something that will be needed until the gc is approved - and is a recurring question. the tracker could also provide stats about current approval rate etc.
I think we need to start one more thread to get responses from people who's H1b extension is being denied in last two months and what were the reasons behind it. This will help to get a clear picture of whats happening.

Hi, guys, i am new here, I hope you guys can help me with my urgent questions.
I am on my OPT which i do have a F-1 visa. my employer said he will file my H1b petition on Jan. 1st. and thank god this is from a non profit organization(hospital and filing from university hospital level), so i guess i do have the non-cap advantage...
my fiancee has F-1 visa too, but we are getting married next month so excited. should i ask my employer to apply for us the same time? is it possible to apply for H1b for me, and my wife f1 to h4 change of status the same time without i get approved on h1b? she is going to meaningless school to maintain her status, but if she can be on h4 (not including f2), she can save alot of money and alot lesser pressure.
i don't know how is this work, and how much is the f-1 to h-4 status change costs. also, if i get denied, she will be denied too, but if she gets denied, will i get denied?
in other word, is filing both visa same time affect the chance of getting approved? i have heard some people saying that it's alot better to file one at a time rather than both at the same time.
u guys know the odds of getting approved on h1b from non profit organization these days? my hospital is a non profit research hospital with 1500+ employees.
thanks alot guys and girls. i wish you the best with your visas!!!!

After reading "Handing the president a win on a major issue like immigration reform in the run up to the 2008 elections might be good policy, but it would be bad politics." in the Time article, I have not much hope in getting a GC in the near future.
If the Democrats agrees with the Republicans and passes any meaningful CIR, then the whole credit would go to Bush and Co. It would make the Republican campaign very easy for Bush.
If I were a Democratic Senator, I would do every thing to block any CIR from getting passed.
With the record number of H1 applications recently, we can also expect that they would put serious limitations on H1, claiming that the whole thing is misused.
Apparently, the whole thing is hugely bad for America. It is not just Indian politician who can destroy their own country, American politicians can also do a fantastic job of destroying their country.
I feel sorry for my kids, who are US citizens by birth.
Cheers,

Q17: How will USCIS interpret the language of AC21 Sec 104(c) (for three-year H-1B extensions) during a period in which AOS applications could be filed?
A17. USCIS interprets AC21 �104(c) as only applicable when an alien, who is the beneficiary of an approved I-140 petition, is eligible to be granted lawful permanent resident status but for application of the per country limitations. Any petitioner seeking an H-1B extension on behalf of a beneficiary pursuant to AC21 �104(c) must thus establish that at the time of filing for such extension, the alien is not eligible to be granted lawful permanent resident status on account of the per country immigrant visa limitations

I'm in the same hole. Oct'2003 is my PD EB2I. had interview 3 months back. Was waiting so eagerly for this day. no update on my case. While I see Dec'2004 cases getting approved. Why can't USCIS do some organization and issue green card purely by priority dates rather than at the mercy of the officer. Why should they make lives of poor immigrants and green card applicants as miserable and touch as possible? Can't do anything more than feeling bad. :-(
I recently had an interview in July end at the San Francisco Office. I am hoping that there is positive movement on my case. I wonder what the process is in local offices.
1. Would it be that all the interviewed cases sent to a common pool where some one picks them up.. not sure what order they will pick up and then approves them till the numbers run out and then the cases are dumped back into the pile.
OR
2. The IO who interviewed you retains the case file in his/her office and based on the VB every month approves the cases that have completed the interview. Now if this is the case then we are at the mercy of individual IO and how organized or unorganized they personally are... wonder if they have a set procedure to follow....
lots of questions .... no answers... only silence....

No problem - we are all here to rant...and find solutions....so don't feel bad abt it:)
I have applied 485 just last month (haven't got my receipt yet though) but I didn't get any RFE in the 140 process, it was approved last year. But yes, go ahead and do the 'paid consultation' - as you mentioned, most certainly they will ask you to file an ammended H1 - personally, I don't think that will be an issue in the GC process.
How did your GC process turn out? Any RFEs because of this?
Basically I don't have a problem with amending my H1B if it does not do me any harm when it comes to my GC. What's most irritating is that my GC attny who has all the answers and could very easily advice me what to do suggested to set up a PAID CONSULTATION with their H1B attorney to discuss this. I am almost certain that eventual conclusion will be that its o.k. to amend the H1B. Even during this time after having spent the 1000s of $$$ for my GC they still want to milk me for more money and that's more troublesome than anything else. Its just the attitude.
Having said all this, I think I am going to spend the $$, talk to the H1B attny just for my own satisfaction.
Sorry about the rant and thanks for hearing me out.
