If you have an approved I-140 based on your RIR PD, then yes you could ask to be accorded the earlier priority date. If not, you cannot ask for the earlier priority date on the basis of an approved LC alone.

Yes I sent it to correct address Lockbox, AZ. Thanks for asking me to confirm.
Dhundhun, If you saved a copy of mailed check, Please look for any technical errors like amount in words/figures . Also check for whom it was written ( They demand it to be written for: US Department of Homeland Security) not abbreviations DHS or so.
Duplicate filing may be okay but may involve stop payment of check n withdrawal of 'right' application -- may create a kinda confusion if it is already in process missing on-line updates. Unfortunately, we are always on the receiving end..
BTW: mine was delivered at Phoenix,AZ on 4/12, checks cashed on 4/23 and I received RN yesterday, it is late but most are getting in 2-3 wks time.

Note that u can only have passive investments (something like investing in stocks) while u are on H1B - Actively working for your business is not allowed.

Received the RFE today. It was asking for my birth certificate copy & translation. My lawyer says this is very common. For me this is stupid, they already got my birth certificate copy and the translation.
Just make sure you covered all the bases and reply to them. It might not hurt to include another copy of your birth certificate and translation just for the heck of it along with your explanation who knows may be the earlier one got misplaced or messed up
- cheers

Where is the link of USCIS memo which talks about following
"There was a memo from USCIS for in-time receipt compliance for I-485 ( along with other forms) for 8/1 supposedly for June filers."
I have called CIS 2 times, they told me to wait until Aug 2nd week.

Same aberration here!
My last LUD was 10/03 and was saying something like: "in response to your inquiry we mailed you bla bla bla..."
Today 10/30 I got a new LUD but the message has reversed to what it was before: "In October 18 2005, the results of your fingerprint review for your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status were received, and processing has resumed on your case. We will mail you a notice if further action is needed, or when a decision is made." and I just got confirmation ...with 5 e-mails!!!:confused: :confused: :confused:
Anyone has any idea of what this means or is it just another "glitch" of their crazy software?

Can one of you guys tell me what is the policy of the OK secretary of state on Drivers licenses for the various legal immigration statuses eg H1b, EAD with approved 140, F1 etc.?
I'm considering a move there and would appreciate your feedback.

I have a i 94 problem.
i got my h1b approval(797).
went to india last december.
in the airline, i returned my old i94 instead of the i94 on the 797 form.
came back to US. the immigration officer didnt issued a new i94. i still have the 797 i 94 with me. not sure if that is the reason he didnt issued me a new i94 cause he saw my 797 i94 with me.
also my passport doesnt have a date of entry stamp on it.( at US)
is this a problem when i go outside US .?

Thanks to everyone who responded. So in summary, it looks like:
* I can own a business on H1B.
* I cannot take any proceeds/profits from the business, but can use it to grow it further.
* I can work for the business as long as I don't take any money from it.
- Can a guru please confirm this?
* The business can buy me equipment and accessories to work.
As everyone suggested, I will consult a CPA and immigration lawyer to confirm but wanted to get some initial idea.
It is very simple, when you are on H1...
You can work hard, even hard, kill yourself on anything without being paid.
Here is the meaning for "Slave" in a well known dictionary..
Slave
1 : a person held in servitude as the chattel of another
2 : one that is completely subservient to a dominating influence
3 : a device (as the printer of a computer) that is directly responsive to another
4 : DRUDGE, TOILER
5 : H1B

Hi,
I am also on my 9th year of extension and Recently I changed jobs ( from fortune 500 to another fortune 500) and the new company suggested to have my 9th+ years H1 extension and have applied for the same. I just received the approval yesterday with in 30 days. The only reason I moved is so that I can refile in EB2, I have Masters+MBA prior to my old Labor, but couldn't apply as the old company job descriptions did not support it. With recent changes in I140 premium eligibility criteria, any one with H1 of 6years or more eligible for it and so you might want to extend your H1 and use Advance Parole to travel if you are thinking of any portability to EB2 in future.
Refer to the article on Murthy.com for the new I140 premium eligibility changes

H4 visa is the worst possible visa in the world.anytime you file for a h4 visa, there is no premium processing and it usually takes 4-6 months for approval. you cannot work on h4 visa and you are dependent on your spouse. as soon as possible, switch to F1 visa. benefits of F1 visa:
she will have her own status (in future, god forbid, if you lose ur job, you can always stay in US on F2 until you find another job)
she can earn on-campus (20hrs/week) and can have a SSN
after graduation, she will get OPT which will allow her to work immediately after graduation
Some Univs also offer CPT after 9 months of enrollment on which you can work fulltime if your schedule allows (several of my friends started working full time on CPT and took online/weekend courses)
you can get ALL in-state benefits on F1 that you would on H4. as long as you can demonstrate that she has been in the state for more than 6 months/1 year (depending on the state)
Get rid of h4 as soon as possible. that is the worst visa which has kept thousands of professional well qualified persons jobless for years!!

Friends,
I need urgent expert/experianced advise for my 140RFE. You will find all the details of case here. Questions are all the way down. >>
(LCA)From 9089:
Education: Minimum Level Required - Bachelors
Experience required for offered job - 60 months
Is alternate combination of education and experience is acceptable � NO
From my Education evaluation:
12 (High Secondary) +3 (Engineering Diploma in Electronics and Communication) = Associate Degree in USA.
12+3+6yrs of Work experience = BS in USA.
RFE Details:
The analysis of credential, from the educational evaluation submitted by you, clearly states that�s 3 years document is equivalent to an associate degree in electronics &/or communication engineering from an accredited college in united states.
Submit evidence that the alien obtained the required bachelors of computer science before September 14 2005. Evidence of education must be in the form of an official record showing the dates of attendance, area of concentration of study, and the date of degree award, if any.
If another advisory evaluation of the alien�s credentials is also submitted, please ensure it is an acceptable evaluation.COLOR]
[COLOR="Black"]MY QUESTIONS ARE:
- Per my LCA; combination of education and experience is not acceptable. Does that mean my evaluation is of no use? And is this LCA good for me?
- If evaluation is using 6yrs of experience to make up for 2yrs of education; CAN I, still (also) show the same 6yrs of experience as job experience?
- I have another approved RIR (Approved Aug07). In worst case, can I use that RIR to file for new 140 to save my 485? Is there any time limit on RIR case too? Like using it under number of weeks/months?
I appreciate your time.
Thanks Much,
Regards

1. Can I travel and enter on my H1 even if my AP is approved/pending?
Yes, you can travel and enter into USA on your H1 visa even if your AP is approved or pending as long as your visa has a valid stamping.
2. Is it safer to travel on AP even if I have a valid/invalid H1 stamped on my passport?
If you have an invalid H1 stamping on your passport, then AP is the only way to enter into USA. On the other hand, If you have a valid stamping and also have an approved AP, you can use either H1 or AP to enter into USA.
3. Can my wife enter on H4 and then we add her name to 485 when she is in US?
If you have a valid H1 Visa, your wife can enter on H4. Regarding adding your wife's name to your 485 case, I am not sure, but I believe you have to wait until your PD becomes current.
Consulting an attorney is the best option, I believe. Good luck!

You are NOT eligible for AC21 benefits (for the part of continuing the GC even after jobchange) on your I140 yet . So technically if the job is different you need another LC and I140. But thinking from a broader view, LC states, job title, description, wage and employer. So from an LC point of view, as long as the stated conditions there remain the same, the job is the same. As long as the job is SAME no issues.
Absolutely no issues, as long as you have a letter from same employer does not matter.

I heard that it can take anytime between 2-8 weeks and the H1B holder is not supposed to start working till they receive the SSN.
H1B workers come to USA and start work immediately. It takes 2-3 weeks for SSN. For paying salary SSN is required, without which a company can't pay salary - but they pay advances.
I remember myself getting advances, California drivers permit, Auto Insurance, etc. without SSN.

Thanks to Thomachan (for highlighting why legal immigrant's children should be considered in the Dream Act) and Sanju ( for focussing on the key decision makers who can influence this). I am sure we can make atleast an attempt to get this included. :). This will help legal immigrants with children in high school and college to a large extent.

Thanks to all who responded. I really appreciate your time. Your replies have really been useful. It seems like one can maintain both H-1B and I-485 adjudicating status simultaneously. Some employers probably go by the policy of continuing H-1B status. Only thing for me is that I will have to go for visa stamping which I really did not want to as it is such a hassle and takes a lot of time.
