Hi,
I want to know how this can be possible. A few folks who work with me claim that some folks whom they know well have got GC in Feb 2007, even though there PD is June 2005.
They are all from India. I am sitting here with Aug 2001 PD, just cleard from BEC and waiting to file 140 and 485.
Do you think there is any truth to the previous statements of my friend ?

Hi All,
I just received an RFE for my I140 which says:
-----------------------------------------------------
The ETA Form 9089 you provided indicates a requirement for a Master's or Bachelor's degre in a certain field of study.
Submit evidence that the alien obtained the required Masters or Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Computer Science, January 24, 2007. Evidence of education must be in the form of an official record showing the dates of attendance, area of concentration of study, and date of degree award, if any.
The job offered is for a software enigineer.
You have submitted a copy of a Masters Degree of Technology in Polymer Science and Technology and of the Bachelor's degree is in the discipline of Chemical Engineering with Speciality in Polymer Technology. If you have not been granted a Masters or Bachelors in the required field, provide proof that your degree(s) has the same elements as a Masters or Bachelors in the required field(s).
-----------------------------------------------------
How to proof that my degree(s) have same elements as a Masters or Bachelors in the required field(s) - the required fields being 'Engineering or Computer Science'? I think the confusion is because the title of my degree is 'Master of Technology' and not 'Master of Engineering'... same with Bachelors.. it is 'Bachelor of Technology' and not 'Bachelor of Engineering'. Anybody from India knows they are almost same. But how to prove it to INS?
Please reply ASAP so that I have time to execute the suggested steps. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance...

Hi,
I just came in yesterday evening and I did not have any problems while entering the country at POE. I applied for I-485 on Aug 17th and left US on 24th. I have a valid VISA stamping till June 2008 but got a different H-1 transfer visa I-797 till jan 2010.
The officer at POE didnt ask me any single Q and he simply let me in with a new I-94 (he noted the new company name on the back of I-94 as usual).
I hope this helps you.

I read this article in Morningstar and felt bad!
More Americans Give Up Citizenship As IRS Gets Aggressive Overseas (http://news.morningstar.com/newsnet/ViewNews.aspx?article=/DJ/201004050814DOWJONESDJONLINE000053_univ.xml)
The number of American citizens and green-card holders severing their ties with the U.S. soared in the latter part of 2009, amid looming U.S. tax increases and a more aggressive posture by the Internal Revenue Service towards Americans living overseas.
According to public records, just over 500 people worldwide renounced U.S. citizenship or permanent residency in the fourth quarter of 2009, the most recent period for which data are available. That is more people than have cut ties with the U.S. during all of 2007, and more than double the total expatriations in 2008.
An Ohio-born entrepreneur, now based in Switzerland, told Dow Jones he is considering turning in his U.S. passport. Mounting U.S. tax and reporting requirements are making potential business partners hesitate to do business with him, he said.
and the story continues................... :mad:

As a California immigration lawyer who files many asylum cases, I am used to thinking of a the United States as a place of refuge and to documenting the horrible country conditions of other countries. I have successfully represented applicants for asylum who feared staying in their countries because while serving in their countries' armies, they were harmed on account of their sexual orientation.
It is therefore rather surprising to come across a story of a U.S.soldier who is fleeing to Canada (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/11/20/refugee-board-soldier-lesbian.html) because she fears harm in the U.S. Army on account of her sexual orientation. According to CBC news, U.S. Army Pte. Bethany Smith fled Canada in September 2007 from a U.S. Army base in Fort Campbell, Ky. She applied for refugee status in October 2007, saying that she was harassed and threatened by fellow soldiers over her sexual orientation and feared that her life would be in danger if she were deported and returned to the army. The Canadian authorities initially rejected in her claim in February 2009. However, on appeal, the Federal Court of Canada held that the refugee board must reconsider the case again because the Board made several mistakes in initially reviewing her claim.
The Federal Court's decision (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Smith%20and%20the%20Minister%20of%20Citizenship%20 and%20Immigration.pdf)noted that the refugee board failed to fully consider the evidence pertaining to the situation of gays and lesbians in the U.S. Army to determine whether Pte. Smith could have availed herself of protection in the United States. The Federal Court also noted that the Board failed to determine whether Pte. Smith would be persecuted on account of her social group - as a lesbian in the U.S. Army if forced to return. There were other errors mentioned in the decision.
It is sad that the U.S. policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," is the basis of an asylum claim in Canada. Pt. Smith was only 19 years old when she fled to Canada. From everything I read, it appears that she wanted to serve in the U.S. Army and no real desire to leave the United States. At a time when we apparently need people to serve in the Armed Forces and in fact give non-citizens a way to immigrate to the United States faster for their service, it seems ridiculous that an American citizen should have to leave. It it is time to eliminate the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

She will get her EAD even if your priority date retrogresses in the next visa bulletin.
As far as I know, you don't neccessarily need to file EAD with your I-485. Once your I-485 is pending, you can file EAD anytime after that(irrespective of PD movement) but its always better to file them together.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Ok, guys so I am going thru my annual ritual of H1/H4 renewal. I have never tracked the H1 processing on the USCIS site in the past. This time I decided to track it. I notice that my wife's H4 has been approved (been over a week) and mailed but there has been no activity on my H1 ! Does that make any sense? Isn't H4 a derivative visa that is approved only if H1 is approved?
Anybody seen such odd stuff?

You can do that using your EAD but that could be considered a violation of H1 status. Not big deal if you do not need to maintain H1. If you want to keep H1, you cannot do that unless you are willing to re-validate H1 later on by leaving US and re-entering on H1.

Friends,
I am in the 8th year of H1b and I have been juggling this idea of changing my job because of a sucking work environment. I have Eb3 labor(it was applied in eb3 even though my job required and i had the eb2 experience) approved and 140 approved so can I get 3 year extension by changing my job or do you suggest to first get 3 year extension and then change, in which case will I still get 3 year extension is the question.
After job change can I use old PD ? Can I apply EB2 perm after changing job ?
I know these are testing times for many of us but i will appreciate your ideas and responses.

I got RFE on my whole family’s pending I-485 applications
The REF description is “ There is a missing signature in page 4 of your application. The signature of the person who prepared your form I-485 is missing. Please have it signed by the preparer, Mr. ABC”.
I used software owned by company(Ex) to prepare these forms. And Mr. ABC is heads for immigration department in that company. I entered all the necessary info in that application and took print out for 485 form. Mr ABC details and company address printed in the 4th page of I-485 application(Part 5.Signature of person preparing form, if other than above.(sign below)) area.
Mr ABC did not put the signature there because he did not prepare the application and sent application to USCIS. My signature is there in applicant area(no problem).
We got RFE for missing preparer signature.
Now,
I contacted ex-company to get the signature on my I-485 application but he no longer working with them. Company immigration people are telling me that the signature in not required in that form.
I contacted Mr ABC for signature but I am not sure his signature is valid now on my I485 application.(because he is no longer working with them)
Finally I think the "prepared by signature" is not at all required because I entered all my information for my I-485.
I just lost ........ Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

My I-485/I-140 were filed on Jul 2, 2007 (I-140 approved in 9/2007). I possess an EAD valid till Sep 2010 and AP valid till Aug 2009. I lost my job (H1B) in late January. I have a family emergency compelling me to travel to India for a week (starting Saturday next week 04/04/2009). Will there be any problem in terms of using my AP to re-enter the U.S? An early reply would be appreciated. Thank You very much in advance.
P.S: I do not have a job yet.
