I don't think that anyone minds that you discuss this, but for that you should pick this area http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=16 that has a little bit of everything and comments about current events.

Hi
I was also tested possitive due to vaccination in India. did the skin test and X-ray. I talked to my family Dr.(and couple of my Dr. Freinds.) and they all told me that my body will allways react to this test due to vaccination and if X-ray is fine we do not need any medication. In US all the Dr. has to get the test once a year and those vaccinated in their native country has to get an X-ray to confirm it as the test is allways possitive for them.
I would say Consult another Dr. just to be sure.
Thanks

No, you can not get a copy of I-140 by USCIS
except your employer or attorney, one of my friend called attorneys office when attorney is not in the office paralegal answered and he requested her a copy of approval she sent but attorney may not give you. However there is a form of I-824 to get a duplicate copy but its useful to employers not for beneficiary. USCIS will not send duplicate of I-140 copy to beneficiary.
If you want to port your older priority date, having I-140 approval is good but that not required, meaning if you have I-140 receipt number thats good enough to port.

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....

Some reactions:
On the rainbow shot, I would clone or crop out the dead twig on the right. Cropping is probably the better option because it will call more attention to the rainbow. I tried to process the image to bring the rainbow out more, but didn't have much success. Maybe someone else can help or maybe it can't be done.
I recropped the flower image and did a little minor processing to bring out more of the detail, particularly in the highlights.
Hope you don't mind me adjusting and reposting your images.

SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE!!!!
My employer got back to me today & informed me that based on the advise of the attorney they will not be providing me a copy of the I-140. He understands that I can leave the company anytime & that he would never hold me back. My question is if there is any other way of getting a copy of the I-140? Is a copy of either the approval notice or the receipt number critical?
Thanks guys!!!!

I just got the RFE for the I-131 and they just asked for two pictures.
I applied online and the asked me not to send anything, so now they requested these pics.
I already sent them, so hopefully I'll get my travel document soon!

I just got approved for my 3 year extension I am on my 7 th year now.
I just got a request from HR saying that I need to sign a promissory note for the total amount spent by my employer on H1b realted fees.
So in short they are asking me to sing the promissory note to get reimbursement for part of the lawyer fees I had paid for this visa extension.
Here are the important points:
0. Total amount is like $3K.
1. 50% owed after 1 year
2. 0% owed after two years of service.
3. 100% owed when employment is terminated by either party :-0
4. 10% per annum interest after the 31st day of termination.
Is this even legal , or it lies in the gray areas for any body to interpret anything they want.
I dont care about the money, but I think this is borderline harassment.
Note:This is not a desi consulting co.

Dear all,
Currently working for ABC company with L1B visa, which expiring in Dec 19th 2008 and i am here in USA now along with my dependents.
But this year i got my H1B approval and having my documents, as my filing was done from India, i do not have I-94 at this time.
My quires are.
1. Do i need to go for stamping in Canada or Mexico
2. Can i work for company B with my H1B approval
3. To start my new job, do my employer should change my status
4. If going for stamping do my dependents also should join me.
Actually i have very short time to make my plans , please help in finding solutions for all my quires.
With Regards
Ganesh
I have an entirely different opinion than what is mentioned above; so please read carefully:
I understand that you are currently working on L1B visa and want to switch to H1b from Dec 19th. Your H1 petition is already approved.
1. If your H1 approval notice (form I 797) has I-94 attached to it, that means it came with CHANGE OF STATUS. In that case you can simply start working from the start date mentioned on attached I 94 (will need new I 9 filed with employer; showing the change of status from that date as well).
Now, your dependents will need to be on H4 status. Was their change of status filed along with your H1? If so and they all have H4 approval notice with attached I 94; they are ok and none of you need to go out of US for visa stamping.
If you or your family do not have change of status (and therefore no attached I 94), change of status can even be filed now from within US; if that was not filed with original H1 petition; But you must file it before you can start working on H1.
Another option is to go to Canada or Mexico for stamping for yourself and the family members; this is especially a good option if your education is from within US (something they can verify); if not they can ask you to go back to India to do so.
So all depends on two things:
1. Does your H1 approval notice have I 94 attached to it? what is the start date on that I 94?
2. Do all your family members have H4 approval notice along with I 94 attached?
If not; you either have to file change of status (and also H4 status for dependents if not already done) from here OR you have to get the visa stamped.
Good Luck.

Thanks so much sumggymba, just one more thing if you know. Do they file eb2 ?
One of my cousin works in oracle and he has mentioned to me that oracle is not filing in EB2 category (they used to file before), not sure is it for every one or depends on team to team or person to person.
I would advice you better check in advance as soon as you have job confirmation

For every IV member that gets their GC, would it be too much to ask them to contribute say at least $100/- ? May be this can become a norm and the starting point for an "IV Alumni" :)
The folks who will be getting their GC's in the next 2 months can show the way - Along with posting the happy news that you got your GC and of course posting your RD and ND and PD and the fact whether you had AC21 or EAD or whatever :), will it be too much to give something back to the community that helped you all the way?
I think this would be a noble gesture in support of this organization that has supported the cause of lots and lots of employment based immigrants.
