One thing I would like to know on those lines assume yours is true that cases do not go to officers unless PD current. So how does it work. Lets say today PD is 2003. Tomorrows VB PD becomes 04. So assume 2 cases one with RD apr 07 and one with may 07 both with same PD 04. Would april case go to him? What if during one month period VB rolls back. If hes not done would he keep case back?

[QUOTE=copsmart;289590]My case is little bit different.
EAD was approved on August 11th and I got the card in mail couple of days after I received the email. But, I haven't received the approval notice for my EAD yet. The status on the EAD shows that the approval notice was sent on August 13th. I had no issues with AP though.
Am planning to apply paper based AP, can you give the list of docs required for the same.
Thanks

Yes i did see a LUD on the uscis website for my 485 a couple of weeks back.
So i guess the LUD stuff still works irrespective of the "chimps" using "champs".

My labour was filed in RIR on March 2005 and got approved on August 2006.
The employer filed for a I-140 in November 2006.
But in July 2007 while filing for I-485 the attorney filed another I-140 which triggered a duplicate filing on the previous I-140.
Then in August 2008 when the second I-140 came for processing it got DENIED reason stating the attorney did not attach the certified labour copy while filing the I-140 (how silly it is ).
But quickly to cover up their mistakes the attorney filed a MTR in August 2008 for the second I-140.
My 6th year of H1B expired on November 2008 and my employer filed for 7th year extn based on approved labour and pending MTR.
December 2008 the MTR got denied till date the employer is not talking about what happened to the MTR why it got DENIED. Subsequently my I-485 got DENIED. Also got an RFE on the 7th year H1B extn.
Now to cover up again the attorney on the directions on my employer filed a new I-140(which is my third). And replied to the H1B RFE and the current online status shows case resumed as of January 2009.
QUESTION:
1. Am I technically Out of Status?
2. If yes from when precisely?
3. Is there any chances of applying a new H1B in premium processing?
4. Will there be any chances of re instating the I-485 if the third I-140 gets approved?
5. Is there a way to atleast ask the attorney to refund all the money that I have wasted because of the negligence of the attorney?
Adding salt to the wound I have one more situation here.
I need to renew my Indian Passport which is expiring in June 2009 (another 2 months).
I dont have an approval notice with me, is it possible to renew the passport with the H1B receipt?
Is there any Same Day passport service at SFO Indian Consulate?
Kindly excuse me if I am confusing or not clear on points. I am very confused and mentally upset.
Please GURU's I am eagerly waiting for some +tive notes.
Thanks
Find another attorney who is knowledgable. I have been in similar situations like these and i know how it feels. The employer should be held resposible for all the mis-haps.
WHat happened to your first I140?
You are techically in-status as your H1-B is still under processing.
As for your passport renewal, the H1-B receipt should be good enough to prove that you are in status. I think the indian consulates allow you to renew passport a year before the expiry date so you actually missed renewing well before your H1 expired. But anyway there is no way out now as you have to send the receipt and pray that they accept that as a proof.

Recently I have got Denial notice from INS on my I-140 application. All the documents are fine. Just They have mentioned as My Education Qualification is not equivalent to US Education. My Education is B.Sc. Physics and MBA.
Is anybody has got same problem, and if yes Please let me know what to do in this situation.
I am thinking of getting good Education Evaluation from Somebody. But I don't know it�s just happened because of Lawyer. Do I need to go to smart , strong Attorney to do this. OR Apply for new labor again and start the process.
Please suggest me on this.
Thanks

In Flash you mean?
Usually breaking things apart relates to groups of object and sometimes even to movie clips themselves, but you certainly can break apart an imported graphic, I actually do it all the time.
a good example would be if you were going to use a picture as a fill. I did this in the following example
http://www.centerspin.com/flashEarlyYears/dialsplash.swf
I needed the stone texture I was using to rotate with the dial. I found that it looked best using the picture as a fill for the dial. I had tried to create a circular png outside of flash for some time.. that way I could do transparency on the pic and just rotate it in flash.. but it never looked right, and the file size was huge. By breaking apart a jpg, I could use just what I wanted from it, leaving the holes in the pic up to flash to produce.

Hi,
Currently i am working for a for-profit company on F1-OPT until April-07 (when my OPT expires)
This company will file H1B for me on April 1st for start date of Oct 1st and consequently, i will be out of job for 5 months (May-Sept).
Previously the company said that they will put be on Leave of Absense (LOA) for this 5 month gap until my H1b start-date kicks off on Oct 1st but now,
they are telling me that i will be terminated at April but will be hired again on Oct 1st and they will not put me on LOA.
1. Is there any way i can protect my job as they are terminating me now and then promising me to re-hire again on Oct 1st?
2. Should i ask for a job offer later stating a new hire date of Oct 1st?
3. Anything i am missing here? -- concerned that they first told me i will be on LOA but now telling me i will be terminated and again re-hired.
Note: The company is paying for both atorney and H1b fees and for this 5 month gap, i will be on H4, so no need to leave US.
Will appreciate any feedback on my 3 questions/concerns above - than ks.

Hi,
I am in the same boat... but a little complicated. I am working for one of the big TARP funded firms as a consultant for almost a year now. I applied for h1 extension last june (my first 3 years was ending sep 30th 2008), but that application was pending forever, and I heard there were some queries with my (ex) employer (company A) for excessive use of h1bs... so applied for h1 transfer (while the first one was still pending) to company B in Dec 2008. I received a RFE asking for client letters, contracts etc, for h1b transfer application to company B in Jan 2009, for which we responded in first week of Feb 2009 with all the requested info including W2s from my first year of H1 till now.. my application was still pending as of last week, so we applied for premium processing on friday, and yesterday, I got an update saying they sent another RFE :(
I guess the contract that we sent for the first RFE probably had the contract end date as Feb 28th 2009.. not sure, but that might be the reason for the second RFE. Problem is my client usually approves contracts 4 - 6 months at a time, and I currently have a valid contract till June 30th 2009, and I know it is being extended beyond that, but I can't get the proof until June... hope I get it approved this time :mad:
I was always paid more than the prevailing wage and was never put on bench... just had some unpaid vacation a couple of times (for 3 weeks each) for visiting India... I even worked on CPT and OPT back in 2004 and have the W2s for them as well... in fact, I even sent them paystubs for all of 2008... man what else do they want? my life?? :mad:

Hey anyway!
The icons can all be found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Icons
You can just drag and drop the icon you want into Blend or explicitly add it via the Projects panel :)
Your question on connecting to an XML data source is interesting because there are several ways of doing this. One approach is by using Linq and just parsing the output.
Here is an example of that: http://blog.kirupa.com/?p=144
Let me know if this helps you get started or if you have further questions :megaman:
Cheers,
Kirupa :look:
I wanted to see if I can write a simple application that uses a dictionary API to query a server somewhere (if I said that right). I have some ideas for a few more difficult apps so I wanted to start with this simple one.
I�m mostly using Expression Blend to create these apps.
The first thing I would like to know is:
* How do I use a wp7 icon (from the icon pack) as a clickable button? I have an input search TextBox, but instead of using a simple button control (for the click event) I would like to use the magnifying glass icon as the search button --something similar to how Bing (on WP7) uses the mic in the search box. How can I accomplish this?
53074
The second thing I would like to know is:
* How is an API use in app? I found a few APIs/ RSS feeds and XML data sources that I would like to utilize in my future apps, but I�m not sure how to implement them.
EXAMPLE: http://api.somewebsite.xxx/xsomething=item1&sip=somethingelse. I�ve read some about URI. What is this?
So basically, I would like to create an app that goes out to a server somewhere and fetch information based on a user�s keyword input and click event.
Please help!!!

Hi,
I recieved my EAD card recently and noticed that the date of birth on the card is not correct(I filled the application incorrectly the montha day got swapped),can you please suggest on what i have to do to correct the date on the card.
Take infopass and speak with I/O in this regard.I think you will need to refile and pay fees again as it was your mistake on the form.

Dear Friends, my 140 just got approved at TSC (EB3-India, PD Feb 03, 140/485 filed in July 07). Given the current economic turmoil, my company may lay off people. I have a valid EAD till Oct 09. God forbid, if I can't find another job here after my layoff, is it legal to go to my home country (i.e., India) for a few months and then come back before Oct 09 to renew my EAD? Assuming the USCIS doesn't adjudicate my 485 while I'm away, could I have any problems at the port of entry (since I would be using Advance Parole but wouldn't have a job)?
Thanks.
GG_007
if you go back to your home country without a job, and you get an RFE for an employment verification letter, how are you going to respond to that?
Also note that earlier most RFEs had a response time of 12 weeks, starting from a few months ago the IO has the discretion to choose the response time. So for something like an EVL (which he would assume you can provide within a few days) you might only have a response time of 4 weeks... Also, its not necesasry that you get the RFE only when your PD is current, USCIS is continuing to process cases, and you can get an RFE even if your date is not current...
As some posters have mentioned, travel on AP has also troublesome for some people. No one that I know of has been denied entry, but IOs at some port-of-entries have insisted that travel on AP should be only for emergencies. Again, its just harassment due to unclear policies, no one that I know of has been denied entry.
Thanks.

Dear All,
I currently hold an F1 visa and am enrolled in a PhD program. I want to discontinue PhD and work on an H1B visa. I have an MS degree from a US University and had used up the OPT period in the past.
My questions are as follows:
Is it legal to quit the PhD program and file for H1B if someone is willing to hire me?
Given this is the Month of March/April if I get a job now how may I be able to work for an employer?
How do I maintain status until October 1st? I have been in the PhD program for just one year. Is it possible to file for a pre-completion OPT for the PhD program and start working for an employer to get H1B and eventually quit PhD?
If the change of status from F1 -H1B is approved will visa stamping in India be an issue? (I got my current F1 visa only after clearance for a 221g case).
Thank you very much for your help.

You are actually expected to provide the latest I94, I believe that your employer may have filed an I9 based on your latest I94, just find the I94 # and the local customs and immigration at the airport should be able to issue you a new one. If you have a copy or the number of this one it would help.
Does the I-9 need to be refreshed each year?
I have a copy of my Jan 2009 I-94 which is not the most recent one - I believe that was the one that was sent to my employer's lawyers. In Jan 2010, I did get an original I-94 (the one I lost) but did not use it to apply for I-9 (atleast to the best of my knowledge).
Thanks for being so responsive and helping me out. The other thing is the time constraint that I have to take off on Dec 29th (tomorrow). What also worries me is that if I approach the Immigration/customs folks at the nearby airport, won't they basically ask me to fill an I-102 and wait for 3-6 months before I can travel? I don't want to do that since I need to travel now due to family issues.
