We got H-1B 7th year extension approved (through Premium processing) at CSC on 06/12/2008. The extension of stay was also approved. We received the I-797C (courtesy copy) and travelled to India with it (along with all the relevant documentation for the H-1B visa stamping) at Chennai. We now realize that we need to I-797A and for some reason the company's legal dept did not receive this yet. The legal dept usually receives both I-797A and I-797C. The chennai consulate does not accept I-797C for stamping.
What are our options here. Though I-140 is approved and I-485 is pending for us, I had not applied for EAD/AP since I plan to continue with my current employer (agreed it was a mistake that I did not apply for the AP). I am with my family now here in Chennai and have to return to the US at the end of July. Will the USCIS send us a duplicate since we never received the original I-797A. The other option is to file I-824 but the processing time is crazy long. Is their expedited processing available for this due to the urgency of the situation? Please help with your valuable inputs.
Thanks. MP70
I-824 processing is heavily backlogged both in VSC and CSC - I guess, there is no PP or expedite option available for duplicate notices. Did you have valid and unexpired H1B stamp on your passport when you left US?

Raj,
Thanks. Can you please guide me in I-824? As an applicant, can I ask for duplicate of the notice?

Don't read too much into it. Somebody might just be doing trivial mass updates (like moving your info from one database table to another ;)), and you will get a soft LUD.
Seriously, I had a hobby before I got my GC (I got approved last Saturday only). I have registered all my previous approved and expired h1b petitions into the case status online system. Some of them are as old as year 2002. I frequently get soft LUDs on them. One of my petition was approved it 2002. It expired in 2004. And yet, I still get soft LUD on this petition every 3 month or so. The last one was in the month of June this year.
So I really don't think there is much significance of a soft LUD.

A frequent question that arises is whether a foreign national living in the United States for a certain number of years can obtain permanent residency based on the years of living in the United States. There is no law or regulation currently in place allowing foreign nationals to automatically obtain permanent residency based on the number of years residing in the United States. There are however, many ways foreign nationals can immigrate and obtain permanent resident status. Two ways to obtain permanent resident status are based on employment and family sponsorship.
One of the ways foreign nationals can obtain permanent residency is based on employment. The U.S. employer will sponsor the employee to qualify under a certain visa category. Specifically, the foreign national may qualify under one or more of the employment-based “EB” visa preference categories that are divided into four separate categories.
The four EB visa preference categories are:
EB-1: Extraordinary Ability, Professors, Researches, or Executives, filed on form I-140
EB-2: Exceptional Ability in the Sciences, Arts or Business, filed on form I-140
EB-3: Skilled Worker, Professional, Or Unskilled Worker, filed on form I-140
EB-4: Immigrant Religious Worker, filed on form I-360
Another process to obtain lawful permanent residence in the U.S. is through family sponsorship. That is, either a U.S. citizen or permanent resident family member or as a fiancé to a U.S. citizen and subsequent marriage. The process begins by either the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative filing form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative or form I-129F Petition for Alien Fiance with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). Just as in employment-based sponsorship, there are visa preference categories in family-based sponsorship. Family-based “FB” preference categories are divided into four categories.
FB-1: Unmarried sons and daughters of U.S. Citizens
FB-2A: Spouses and children of lawful permanent residents of the U.S.
FB-2B: unmarried sons and daughters of permanent residents of the U.S.
FB-3: Married sons and daughters of U.S. Citizens.
FB-4: Brothers and sisters of U.S. Citizens who are at least 21 years old.
The above preference categories are subject to a numerical limitation. More information on these visa categories is available at the U.S. Department of State’s visa bulletin at: www.travel.state.gov (http://www.travel.state.gov)

A lot of people have filed on July 2 and still haven't received their FP notice while my husband and I filed July 6 and we're scheduled for FP tomorrow. My brother who filed on July 26 also received his FP notice last Friday. USCIS is really unpredictable nowadays so who knows how long it takes to generate FP notices. Hopefully you'll get yours soon too. :o
How much time does it take on an average to generate a FP notice from the receipt notice date and when does the actual FP take place?

Hello,
My wife is planning to attend for a H4 Visa Re stamping. I have couple of questions regarding the visa application process. Appreciate if you can help me with my questions
1) In DS156 should my answer to the Question� �Has Anyone Ever Files an Immigrant Petition on your behalf� be NO. FYI, my 140 is approved and waiting on 485 priority date. I don�t think I gave my wife�s name yet in my labor or 140 approval process
2) There is a section to be filled in VFS website called� Petition Details from 797/. I assume that principal applicant would be me. However I am not sure what to fill in the following questions
Petition Receipt #
Petition Expiration date
Petitioner Name: I assume it is my company name
Is the above info to be filled in from My 797 ( case type I129)or my wife�s 797( case type I539) Receipt #?
Please advice
Thanks,

Hi to all,
I met with a potential client who is an illegal immigrant living in the US. She has a child who is a US citizen. The father was voluntarily deported and the mother gave him permission to take the child back to their home country to visit the grandparents. The father was supposed to make sure the child returned to the US within 3 months. It has been 6 months. If my client files an application under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, will the US Government begin deportation proceedings?

Myself and my wife walked into the ASC today. The officer in the front mentioned "are you coming in early" we said yes and then he said u need to fill out the forms etc so we got it done today. I persume since the finger prints are scanned and notified to USCIS so I don't have to send to the service center
I am not sure whether a way to prepone it. You can try going for FP. They did not say anything about the future date.

Hi, I know this question is being asked by many people. I am sorry, but still confused. My situation is:
EB3 - Labor filed - Aug, 2004 - BackLogged - Philadelphia - 45 day letter - Replied
EB2 - Labor filed - Nov, 2005, Approved, I-140 filed - Mar 2006 - Approved.
Can I continue using EB3, once Labor Approved anbd I-140 Approved, can I use that PD to my EB2? The job description is definately different on EB3 and EB2. Still can I use the EB3 PD on to EB2?
Gurus, Please advise.
Thanks.

I found that there are 24 states under compact member, some does not requires SSN to get RN license so there are good states to get license and practices. *https://www.ncsbn.org/158.htm *However you still get stuck when it comes to sponsorship.

Recently, I e-filed EAD renewal for me. So, there was no issue. Give some more time, like a couple of weeks and if you don't see any change, then call USCIS.

I have recently filled the USCIS survey. But I am not satisfied with all the questions they have. I want to tell what we want to tell (not what they want to hear)
I have an idea to send USCIS director information about how they are doing ? (In terms of delays, consistency, customer service, implementation, transparency). This will not cost any dime to anybody and at the same time make an impact.
Step One:
One of us can first create a survey on survery monkey (detailed one..with complete description about various aspects of USCIS) . I have created a Draft of the questions which can go in the survey. You can add more (Please do not delete the existing ones).
The real survey can contain scale of measurement (1 to 10) and also descriptive comments. I can keep the draft open for 10 days before creating/publishing the real survey so that everybody can contribute to creating it. Here is the link to the draft (feel free to add more questions which are to the point and can make an impact)
USCIS Survey (Draft) - Google Docs (http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ATAcM7NSTN8WZGQ0dmtjbW1fMTYxNTgyMjdwaGM&hl=en)
Step Two:
Open/Publish the survery to Immigration Voice users and all other customers of USCIS(Advertise this on the other websites too). We can keep it open for 10 days to get everybody's participation.
Step Three.
Get the results and and send the results to the USCIS director(These will contain ratings of where USCIS stands and suggestions for improvements). We can also send them to the President. This has to be a collaborative effort and will only cost .44 cents stamp(not .44 cents each but .44cents only)
I do not think they measure themselves at all (right now whatever they do is right).
I think this is nice gift to USCIS which they need desperatly. Also it could be an eye opener.
Any suggestions to this would be welcome.

reddy77,
Did you give mail forwarding instructions to USPS when you moved from your old address?
I had done this online and got my AP duly forwarded to my new address. This happened about a month back.
