Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
No, not the Michael Jackson, This is It. This is it for FY 2009 H-1B season. USCIS states that as of December 15, approximately 64,200 cases have been filed. That leaves about 800 slots left for H-1B applicants and perhaps several hundred on top of that since USCIS will need to account for potential denials or revocations of previously filed H-1B applications.
Back on April 1, 2009, a lot of speculation was made about how fast or slowly the H-1B quota would fill. Predictions from one day to 6 months were made. But it looks a lot clearer now... by Christmas or maybe, by the New Year. There really is no way to tell. Practitioners who focus on H-1B work like me, know that odds look dim for someone seeking a new H-1B and who hasn't started the process yet. Issues of delayed LCAs (labor condition applications) and employer FEIN (federal employer ID numbers) are wreaking havoc on how quickly anyone can prepare a new application to get in on this year's quota.
If you have not been able to file an H-1B yet. Call us about planning your case for April 1, 2010. It's never too early, but it can be too late. ---ecf

Today, our AP status has changed to "Document mailed to applicant". Does this mean that they have mailed the approval document or is it an RFE document?
For most of the applicants the status has turned to "Approval Notice sent" but mine is different. Is anyone in the same boat.

Why do people do this every month DOL, USCIS, president and no one can predict this, so what is the point?

I am definitely NOT counting on it..Its been while since I though about my long- lost application.
Just thought I would post a question in the hope that someone would say the PD would advance to 2007..Just to keep me going:)

As per the new visa bulletin, my PD (Mar/26/2006) goes current from 1/September.
My husband is the primary applicant on the case with me and son as dependents.
485s submitted in Sep/2007. We received RFE for my son application and replied, we received update from USCIS that it reached them in July/2009.
USCIS web case status shows 'initial review' for me and my husband, 'RFE response review' for my son.
As we filed together, does this mean that all three applications were processed and RFE was required only for my son?
Thanks for all your inputs, being a great help.

Thanks for the reply Ramo. But my question seems to be partially answered. I do understand what you have stated.
I have a degree that is equivalent to 4 years of education and is from the US.
Can you give me more information around the question that can I file H1B as an IT consultant with a Bachelors degree in healthcare?

hi all
a friend of mine running his own business wanna apply for a visit visa or tourist visa what we are suppose to say in section purpose of your visit ????????????????????
any insight are appreciated
There is a business visa (B1) he can apply. If he applies for the B2 (tourism visa) and tries to work, it will be illegal. He beeds to say "business" in the purpose of the visit column.

the examiner should look to the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) code and/or Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code, assigned to the I-140 and/or labor certification and compare this with the DOT or SOC code that is appropriate for the new position. Thus, although not stated, this argument and analysis should accompany the request for approval under AC21 portability.
Until recently I had not even tried to look for other opportunities, but I suddenly find myself with a position (another company). I am not familiar with the rules of AC21. The new position is in management and is most likely in a different SOC code. Have any of you had issues with a move? Is it required to inform the USCIS of the move - I have heard that there is no need to inform? Please help.

I got my FP done a couple of weeks ago at the Dallas ASC on the scheduled date. Have noticed from other threads that people have gone to other ASC at an unscheduled date and were able to get it done. I think you can go as well and explain your situation if they object. If they are not too busy that day they might let you in; guess the hours are from 8AM to 3PM. You can try to be the first one in the morning. It doesn't take more than 15 minutes for the entire process. Good Luck!!

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced that it has posted a revised Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Form I-485. In addition to a revised form, there are new filing locations. The changes are part of an overall effort to transition the intake of USCIS benefit forms from Service Centers to Lockbox facilities. Centralizing form and fee intake allows USCIS to provide the public more efficient and effective initial processing of applications and fees.
Beginning February 25, 2010, most applicants must submit Form I-485 to a USCIS Lockbox facility, depending on the eligibility category under which they are filing, as provided in the form instructions. USCIS Service Centers will forward all Form I-485 applications to the appropriate Lockbox facility until March 29, 2010. USCIS will accept previous versions of Form I-485 until March 29, 2010. After March 29, 2010, USCIS will only accept the Form I-485 dated �12/03/09.�Any previous versions of the the form that are submitted will be rejected. After the transitional period, the Service Centers will return any incorrectly filed Form I-485 with instructions to send the application to the correct location.
At this time, applicants should not concurrently file Form I-485 with an Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (Form I-140) at a USCIS Lockbox facility. Refer to the Form I-140 filing Instructions for information on how to file forms concurrently.
When filing Form I-485 at a Lockbox facility, you may elect to receive an email and/or text message notifying you that USCIS has accepted your application. To receive notification, you must complete an E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance (Form G-1145), and attach it to the first page of your application.
For more information on USCIS programs, visit (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis) or call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

Hi- My stamping on my passport expired on Sep'2008 (over 19 months now). But, my I-797 is valid till Aug'2012. I plan to get my visa re-stamping done when I go to India in May'10.
1. Will there be any issues?
2. What am I supposed to say for this question in the visa application website?
"Are you applying for the same class of visa which is currently valid or has expired within the past 12 months?*" (YES/NO)
The VFS website says the following:
"The following applicants do NOT qualify for appointments in the visa renewal category:
Applicants who have a U.S. visa that expired more than 12 months ago.
"
Thanks.

I think: We donot have a choice. We have to show up on the day and time given on FP notice. If we can't- we have to request uscis for re-scheduling.
Call the ASC office and usually in such circumstances.. they allow to come earlier... Lots of ASCs are open sat.. So that may be good for you... Call your local ASC...

Folks, let us concentrate on sending the output of all the good analysis done by various members to this person who it appears has a job to identify and recommend systemic fixes. It would be far more useful than sharing woes amongst ourselves in these b-boards.
If he could fix everything we would'nt be in trouble.

I dont think there are hard and fast rules for interview. Some cases were transfered to NBC(National Benefit Center) to share the workload and some they had questions about the case. In my case , the interviewer told me that possible reason is there is a note in my case that said "Not working for the sponsor" which is a geniune question since I wasn't working for employer when 485 is filed. They could have issued RFE instead.
I think this delayed my case otherwise I would also be one of the lucky guys who got their 485s approved this last summer. In general it should be a good thing for you to know that your case is being worked on. Since now that there are no visas available , any temporaray delay shouldnot matter.

Hi, I am on At Will Employment, employer laid off on April 30 2009. I had seen in discussions, if employer laid off we an ask him for Return Flight Tickets. I need to confirm because i was on At Will Employment.
Plz reply me soon
Thanks
If you were on H1B
1. the employer has to provide you one way return ticket to your actual destination. this is the law.
If this can be done,
1. Tell your employer to give you one month vacation and keep you on the payroll. In that case, you can start applying for a job and if you get a job you should be saved. You would have to call employers rather than depending on rectruiters
2. If possible change to F1 visa,
3. Promptly apply for canadian immigration and move to canada, since you were in US in H1B there are high chances you would get a canadian PR within 6-8 months.
4. At least complete the FBI clearance when you are at US to apply for canadian PR.
5. Check for other oppurnities.
However,
1. Describe your skillset and the nature of work. Maybe someone from IV would help you.
2. Ask for help if you need something. Most of the IV members i got in touch are really helpful. In turn i have helped few of them.
