One of my co-workers recently went for 10th year stamping to Mumbai consulate. He was asked to wait for 4 weeks. Looks like renewals and extensions beyond 6th year are taking long time for stamping. He works for fortune 500 companies and with 20,000+ empoyees worldwide.

FYI, there will be a manager from TCS/WIPRO/IBM side to whom all these L1s will be reporting... They will "work" with client MGRs but report to employer MGR....

Any benefit in filing 485 on the first week of June versus last week of June? Any FIFO implications?

Hi Gurus,
I need some help with my situation:
After 5 years of waiting, my Labor got finally aproved thru Dallas BEC(EB3, RIR, PD: Oct'02). But my wife is in India on vacation and as per original plan will return middle of August.
1. What are my options so I can take advantage of the PD being current for me?
2. can I apply for I-140 and I-485 and then apply her I-485 when she returns?
Thanks.
gc_hopful
As per my knowledge, ask your wife to come back from India and file I-485 along with your petition by before Jun 30, 2007.
If you want to wait till she comes back from India you can, but at that time (in Aug ) Cutt-off dates should be current to your PD date, If not you CANNOT file I-485 to your wife.
Best of luck.

I am also from India but the point I am discussing here is clearly a violation of law by Outsourcing vendors including IBM (not just Indian companies), TCS, Wipro etc. I work for a medium size consulting firm based in US and on H1 visa ...and I am impacted by these violations and I think I have the right to oppose this act.... to prove my identity shud I tell you my stories in Chennai consulate... or shud I tell u abt my days in b'lore or shud I tell you all abt my 24 years in India.. you can decide :-).
BUT regarding the L1 violation we have decided and this time the vendor is exposed to the authorities and justice is done. We have the support of good client managers who understands visa regulations.

hello all,
i will really really appreciate your posts..
its been 23rd day..H1B renewal..New Delhi..still waiting for PP..i got no slip ..no warning to wait ..nothing..
But now i think its not stuck due to PIMS..it could be anything ?? some admin processing ? some security check ? some name check ??
How do we differentiate what are our passports held up for..COULD THIS BE CALLED 221(g)..i read in forums..221g can take forever ??
-Shahuja
I am not very sure but my understanding is that consulate will tell you if there is any issue reg security clearance etc (in other words 221 g).
Did VO tell you anything about administrative processing during your interview??

i wanted to share that i have recd by email confirmation regarding the GC production from USCIS (Aug 18).
I was, in fact, waiting for my fingerprinting notice - since my last one was couple of years old. My lawyer had written to USCIS to review the case and requested to send us a FP notice.
But what i got was GC production email for both me and my wife. My journey on H1b that started on Nov 99 has finally ended!!!:)

To Add to what you have said, I would say getting EB2 approval is almost impossible because not only is DOL cracking down on EB2 perms because of bad economy, DOL also knows that people are trying to reapply in Eb2 to jump ahead and they are stopping that practise.
The following information is asked in the first field of ETA form 9089.
"1. Are you seeking to utilize the filing date for a previously submitted application for Alien Employemnt Certification (ETA 750)?"
"1-A. If Yes, enter the previous filing date"
"2-A. "Indicate the previous SWA or local offiice case number OR, if not available, specify the state where case was originally filed:"
With the above information from form 9089 DOL knows the people who are trying to jump ahead by interfiling. Thats an almost gaurenteed audit. The attorneys already know this and this is the reason why many companies are not entretaining filing any EB2 perm. If anybody is lucky they might find a company willing to file eb3 perm after 6 months but no company wants to file Eb2 perm. interfiling \porting from eb3 to eb2 is a pipe dream, people cant even get eb3 approvals or alteast companies willing to file eb3 perm.
"interfiling" to use old EB3 PD for new EB2 is not the easiest path for EB3-I guys specially if they have used AC21 and work on EAD now ( Most of us are in this category). Priority date porting is not an issue, USCIS does not have a problem with that. The problem is with "Job definition and level". While one use AC21 claims job position matching EB3 job classification and if there no enough progression gap between AC21 usage and "inerfiling" It becomes hard for a lawyer to convince USCIS that fellow is matching EB2 capability under same job classification. Hundred of such intefilings are waiting without no action from USCIS. My lawyer's advice wait till we logically can establish the skill progression, in other words minimum 3 years of wait from the day AC21 usage. And other important thing is "real promotion" in position should happen at employment and this whole explanation is based on assumption of employment at the same employer. If you change employment inbetween after AC21 usage and before interfiling , your 3 years wait cycle starts from new emploment date. I have not filed "interfiling" just because of these reasons and waiting for correct time to do that. In other words Eb3-I is really and badly screwed.

JSB ! You are just one very optimistic one.. aren't you ? :)
Let me tell you I am as anxious and frustrated as you all "July 2 filers, no action yet" are. But I am thinking about it a bit calmly, rather than thinking of doing something so that I feel that I have done something (i.e. complain, write to congressman, etc.). Expressing my anger by saying they should have done this or that, does not change the situation. I believe USCIS is working, as expected, with the capability/attitude of a government worker, treating our filings (which are so important to us) just another government office paper work. Best is just to wait for another 10 days, and if nothing is heard by then, take action as per procedures.

My immigration doctor told me that if i had chickenpox in childhood i do not need the varicella vaccine? Which i did at age 5. Please, let me know if anyone else was told the same , i will be going back to him on Wednesday for the physical exam. I don't want to get a RFE on that.
If you had chickenpox in childhood, you have to show a letter. you no need to take varicella Vaccine. But my situation I had chikenpox in childhood, when i went to immigraiton doctor , i dint tell that i had chickenpox in childhood. Doctor told me to take Varicella Vaccine. I took that one.

I saw posts of several members extremely skeptical of the whole idea, even went on calling it stupid, crazy and useless. Some made mockery suggesting sending dead fish etc. I don't see any more posts from them.
Keeping mum now are we, eh?:rolleyes:
Yes I was the one who suggested the dead fish. I belive in RESULTS, if sending these flowers actually ACHIEVES something, I will make a nice big biscuit of my words and eat them :).
Until we see ACTUAL "POSITIVE" RESULTS I am still going to be skeptical. Sure we have made a lot of noise and it has been heard by a lot of miscallaneous people. So were the rallies held by the illegals. What happened? NOTHING! So until I see some results YES I will STILL be skeptical.
Other than that, I really really really hope for everyone's sake, that this works and if it does I will eat my words and become a believer:)
So much for being mum eh ;)

I dont understand why people even bother to fly through BA. As soon as they say "transit visa" which means additional hassle..bye bye BA. We get strained enough with this 35 hour flights..we dont need any more headaches..they have a right to impose rules.(based on what's happening in their country)..and we have our right to choose..I would rather spend an extra couple of hours and fly through Singapore airlines, hassle free.

Final price for vonage would be $33.
still going for VONAGE makes sense as I can call india without "minutes counter" ticking over my head. I may wait for Lingo offer as it is even cheaper and offers flexibility to call india from cell phone too.

Everyone knows that increasing green card numbers will be best solution. In that also if we ask too much we may not get anything. Double the number of annual Gc plus exclude dependents will be enough for reducing retrogession but that may not eliminate. But waiting period of 2 to 3 years can be reasonable for most people. I am sure one more chance will come for increasing H1b numbers. That time we can try for GC increase also.
But I am supporting the flower Campaign for protesting the VB mess up though it will not solve the problem
You seem to be pretty good at analyzing faults in others' ideas and thoughts . What are your suggestions to acheive releif from retrogression.
Smitha,
You can suggest too ...

I am also July 2nd filer with no checks being cashed yet, and no other activities around my case. What can we do when the waiting period is over 90 days???
I believe, USCIS has a formal method of investigation. You or your lawyer will have to give details whatever USCIS asks for. In a normal course, this would have been done a lot sooner, but USCIS themselves admit that they are not yet finished with all July2-Aug17 receipts. Perhaps they will not entertain any formal investigations until they are done with all filings.
I am one of the July2 (J Barret, 10:25am) filers on the waiting, and I know the anxiety we all have. You can write to your Congressman, but think of how USCIS is going to respond to the intervention. They will tell that they are not yet finished with all receipts.
