These days all H1 transfers and extensions for consulting companies are attracting RFEs for client PO. I heard this from many friends. Also the extension is given only till the PO end date even if you are eligible for 3 yr extension based on approved I-140. Basically you have to prove your project pipeline to get a longer extension. :eek:
Some of the RFE requirements are ridiculous.. like getting lease info for client office building and letter from president of client company explaining business relationship with petitioner. Big outsourcing companies will soon start moving more jobs and work offshore if this trend continues.

Correct. The question is always about "similar" job and duties. And too much variation in wage is a hint towards that.
Now logically it doesnt make sense, you doing the same duties even after 15 years in GC que. But hei.... leave the logic behind. You either prove that the duties are same/similar, or file another LC/140. (at-least you can keep your priority date).

Eligible for 3 years if I140 is approved and you can't file I485 because of retrogression. But you said , you had already filed I485. I doubt you are eligible for 3 year extension.
thats not how USCIS interprets this (see the FAQ they released recently). They will give you a 3 year extension if 485 cannot be APPROVED because PD is not current, not only in the case where 485 cannot be FILED.
The wording of AC21 is a bit vague (3 year extension eligibility once 485 is filed) but USCIS interpretation has been clear until now in what they have been doing, and with the FAQ they even put it in print!

My lawyer also says the same. I'm also in similar condition where company is applying for 1 1140's.
Regd experience, I dont know if USCIS calls an employer.

Hi,
In the draft, the countrywise cap is set to 10% of the quota. That's still a big stumbling block for Chinese and Indians.
We should push for getting rid of this countrywise cap.
Another, just a thought. Once they increase the cap and all those changes, so many people will be eligible and apply for 140 & 485. They will become eligible for EAD and AC21. The USCIS will drown in I140 and I485 applications and recurring appls for EADs resulting in huge administrative delays. So the spead gained by legislative action will get lost by backlog due to administrative actions. Classic case of give by one hand and take away by another.
Any thoughts?

Thanks so much RAM C.
I have one more question.. if possible could you please clarify this also for me..?
I don't know the procedure for obtaining SSN, but i gathered that I have to show my I-94 at the SSA office, along with passport and other ID's.
My I-94(at POE) and Visa stamping expired in 2006.
Got extension till 2007, and then got H1B, followed by EAD.
I haven't been outside the country, so my current valid I-94 is part of my H1 appoval notice...so do I have to show my H1 also?
Sorry.. for all the questions.. I tried to call the local office but couldn't get through...
THANK YOU
I REALLY appreciate your answers..
Yes that is true, you have to show your passport and I-94 and EAD
you should be fine if they ask about expired I-94 (with stamp) as you have an extension till 2007.
so to answer your question show H1 extension if they ask.
hope this helps.
Good Luck :)

Hi,
I got the standard RFE
1) End date in client letter
2) EE relationship
3) show project validity till h extension requested( 3 years)
RFE response to be received on or before July 10 2010
With all problems from vendor and client i was able to get letters but my lawyer sent the packet on July 9 and when I was tracking the status it says that UPS due to some unforeseen reason will now deliver this packet on 7/12 ..2 days after deadline, the packet has sent date 7/9 and was marked next day AIR
My question is
) Am I screwed in this case and my H1 is gone. current H1 period expires 07/15
2) Or will USCIS will accept the respnse since it was posted before on 7/9
I am so mad at my lawyer but looks like H1 is gone and I have to pack my belongings ...
any advice please
I think, you can still work on H1 even though your current extension is pending

I do not think there will be any issues. It's cheaper for the company to apply for EAD renewal than for H1B extension, though...

Use the reply from Ombudsman's office and do an inquiry via your local senators office. Also call up central customer service and open a service request. (Get the number and info of the call like the timings and officers name). Finally if you date is current and is not getting picked up for adjudication. File a WOM.
Called up USCIS customer service. SR was not opened as they cannot open SR on wrong info on response letter. Writing letter to service center is the only option.
I sent off another Ombudsman case sheet requesting PD fix.

Please study IV first and then raise any question.
I see people not supporting the CIR which was suppose to be a pro Immigration bill, no matter which part of the society it was supporting. My question is Are you guys out here a Pro or an anti immigration forum?
Or are you guys out here are to fulfill their selfish dreams, stand on others to reach the top.
Can anyone answer me? I really doubt the people out here.
