no replies? cant believe i am the only one in this situation :)
please fix your profile, it helps others and helps you get right answers too given everything is context sensitive.
I did contemplate not filing for AP and keeping h1 and infact planned to get stamping; but after long thoughts i let it go. I figured not filing AP is not worth the risk.
IMO you should get AP and then travel, you sure can go for h1 stamping.

My employer is not ready to give a copy of I-140. I was wondering if any of you used "The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)" to get it.
So far I found that there are 3 things to be done for FOIA :
1. A request letter mentioning what exactly you are asking for.
2. Notarized copy of Form DOJ-361 (Certification of Identity)
3. Fee
Wanted to know, if any of you actually did this and get a copy of I-140 back. What is the fee ? How did you pay it ? Was there any other document that you sent ? Am I missing anything ? Who did you send the request to ?

Concurrent H-1Bs have no quota restriction. You just have to mention hourly rate and number of hours per week for the second job.

You will get your I-20 stamped with the start date. Also there will be a approval date on your I-797, which would be when your status becomes effective.

I filed to NSC on 7/20 but receipted by CSC on 9/20 acknowledging the receipt date as 7/20 and transferred I-485 alone to NSC reataining I-765 and I-131. Since then no FP notice or LUDs on I-485 from NSC but EAD and AP are approved from CSC.

I changed my job recently, I'm starting up with new GC application with my new employer as I had passed only 140 stage with my previous GC application of employer and I couldn't get a chance to file my 485. I have 12 plus years of total IT experience. My question is related to the section in the PERM application for my major field of study. I have a Bachelor's degree in civil engineering from good university in India , finished in 1996. My academics and work experience were assessed with US equivalent study and it's evaluated as Bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems by qualified and expertized education evaluator. My current company lawyer told me that he would mention it as Computer Information Systems in my PERM application. Is it correct to mention in my perm application for my major field of study as Computer Information Systems?
I will greatly appreciate your valuable suggestions.

"Bush tries to shift focus from war, Foley scandal"
Homeland security bill signed
After his remarks, Bush stepped outside on a patio with a view of Camelback Mountain to sign a $34.8 billion bill to fund homeland security. The bill includes $1.2 billion for about 700 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border, along with vehicle barriers, lighting and infrared cameras to help catch people sneaking across.
But Bush has been saying for months that the country's immigration problems cannot be solved just by tightening border security. U.S. employers need cheap foreign labor, and immigrants will continue to sneak in to take the jobs, Bush said, so Congress should authorize temporary work permits to match those workers with low-paying jobs that other Americans don't want. He also wanted to give citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants already in the United States.
But Republicans in Congress took a tougher stance against immigration and have refused to give Bush the more comprehensive legislation he wanted.
"We'll continue to work with Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform that secures this border, upholds the laws and honors our nation's proud heritage as a land of immigrants," Bush said just before putting his pen to the bill's paper.

My attorney signed my I-485 AOS/EAD/AP applications and posted them on July 2nd as he was in a hurry to apply because of July 2nd scenario. Is it ok for the attorney to sign our papers. Is anybody in the same boat as me. I am a little concerned as the USCIS FAQ says application can be rejected if signature is missing. The application reached USCIS on July 3rd.
My attorney also did the same. I did not sign on my application. But he sent me power of attorney to sign. They did this since they were beating the July 2 brouhaha which previous to that week, they already knew what's going to happen.

Dear Experts,
My I-140 was filed under "Premium processing" and I have received approval last week. I am currently out of US since May and want to go back. I do have a valid H1-B visa till Sept '10. But, my lawyers have asked me not to go back till my H1 three year extension is approved. This is where I am confused and have the following questions:
1. Why do I need to wait for the H1 approval to come through? Can't I go back now since I do have a valid visa on my passport?
2. For extension filing, don't I have to be physically present in US?
I need to go back asap because working from outside the country is not working out that well for me now since past two months. So, any pointers in this regard will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Mallika

Did he/she send the original Employment letter? What is the PD of your friend?
From what I understood his lawyer did not send the employment letter in the first place. His priority date is Sep 04 ROW, mine is July 04 ROW.

As we move closer to an Immigration reform, even government officials agree that such major change is very necessary. Here are some remarks by Secretary Napolitano on Immigration Reform at the Center for American Progress:
Over the past year, as this Administration has pursued more effective strategies within the current laws, the picture of how exactly those laws need to be changed has become clearer than ever before. In the past ten months, we have made tough choices, and implemented significant reforms within the current legal framework�but they are not enough to create the system that we want or that we need. If we are truly going to fix a broken system, Congress will have to act.When it comes to immigration, I took an oath as Secretary of Homeland Security to secure the nation by enforcing the law and managing legal flows across the border. Let me be clear: to do this job as effectively as possible, DHS needs immigration reform.Reform legislation would provide lasting and dedicated resources at our borders, and provide some critical legal tools that we don�t currently have to combat smuggling organizations. For example, we need tougher anti-smuggling laws in dealing with the aggravated crimes smugglers commit�including assaulting law enforcement officers, endangering children, threatening relatives and abandoning people in the desert� hundreds of whom succumb to death from heat and lack of water. We also need to update current laws that don�t cover some of the new means by which criminals conduct their business. For instance, today�s smugglers and drug traffickers often move cash through �stored value� cards, which aren�t even considered monetary instruments under the current money-smuggling laws.In addition, we need improvements to the current law when it comes to interior and worksite enforcement. Dishonest businesses often ignore the civil fines for illegal employment now on the books because they�re so low. It�s also very difficult to prosecute these crimes as felonies because of the over-elaborate intent requirements built into the current statutes.

to keep you IN? Did your uncle/relative offered it to you...
I have a feeling that watermelons are sour...:D ( as some monkey quoted about legits)
Man/Woman I feel for you.....
In fact a mean and hopeless employer probably would not tell the original name on the LC to whomever he sells it.

That is correct. If you are married and over 21, they can't apply unless they are U.S. Citizens. But then, you will be under FB 3rd category which means a very long wait.

Why is Gary looking outside of USA to tap potential home buyers? Just for folks who aren't aware - there are 500,000 high skilled legal immigrant already in USA who are waiting in queue for numbers of years to get their Permanent Residency. Thanks to the limited visa availability based on country chargeability (birth of applicant) and inefficiency of immigration system, these highly skilled, tax paying and law abiding immgrants are waiting for their Green Card (Permanent residency). Some of them have studied here, worked here for years and US is almost a second home to them. They are sitting on pile of cash, Yes - PILE OF HARD CASH. They wouldn't buy house or any big ticket items until they get Green card. Why not give these people, who are already part of our system, conditional Permanent Residency who buy houses. This will also get us immediately required cash and home inventory will go down as much as 300K at minimum. P.S. I AM TALKING ABOUT HIGH SKILLED LEGAL IMMGRANTS AND NOT ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

Poll is asking only about filing. What about people who already filed 485 and then retrogressed?
