I had my Labor go through without any issues. I haven't yet applied for 140.
what would happen if I apply for F-1 visa to pursue my studies as full time student since F-1 is a non-immigrant visa and I have cleared my labor.
I know I can't proceed with 140 since its a petition for immigrant status and my F-1 will be rejected. My question is does labor certification also affects F-1 visa application?
Thanks in advance
My wife switched from h4 to f1 status. you can do the same and status studies, assuming you have valid status/visa right now. Later you can get visa stamped.
H visa is dual intent, and f is non-immigration. Since you already have h visa it will not be a trouble. This is from my experience and some of my friends.
good luck .

Dear IV Members,
Plans for Next Call
As I draft this post, we are working on the specifics of organizing the next call. We intend to have the call next friday, 20 Oct 2006, and are awaiting confirmation. Please watch out for more information on the forums in the next couple of days.
Range of questions for the upcoming call
At this time, the list of questions has been frozen for the next call. The range of accepted questions is between 71 and 100. This post is being communicated so that members can plan to be present for any follow-up questions they may request the attorney in real-time
Questions not accepted by the attorney
Questions with the following IDs were not accepted by the attorney for the upcoming call: 87, 91, 95, 99
Why was my question not taken up?
The following is a list of probable reasons why certain questions may not have been accepted. This list, is of course, not exhaustive.
- too complicated for a call requiring further discussion or research
- lack of clarity in the law on specific situations
- incomplete
- too generic
- frivioulous
- no previous incidence that the attorney can draw upon without significant research(new situation)
Sending us your questions
We also request members to not send emails from corporate email accounts. It is IV's policy to refrain as much as possible from sending email to members that may constitute as spam.
While we do not want to spam you, there might be exceptional situations wherein we may need to alert you of last-minute changes, and corporate email accounts might consider such alerts(if at all, any) as spam and may hence be filtered.
Keep 'em coming
Lastly, do not let a rejected question deter you from sending in new questions. We encourage you to keep sending in your questions so that we can leverage the attorney's pro bono service.
Enhancing and streamlining the conf. call process
We realize that certain questions may be time-sensitive, and may no longer be relevant when we finalize on a conference call date. Please bear with us as we streamline the process and make our response times better.
Thank you

Hello
As far as I know/understsand : to be eligible for H1B visa for 2010, a company should applke for H1B on april 1st 2010, so that the person gets it by october 1 2010 right??
if the 65000 limit is still available , lets say after october 1st 2010, can the company still apply for H1B after october 1st or november or even ion december, as long as the H1B cap 65000 is still available??
thank you?

By Deborah Notkin, AILA Past President
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has successfully carried out a crusade against the fraud and deception of "immigration consultants" who take advantage of unknowing and vulnerable immigrants. At a recent media conference, Cuomo indicated that his office is seeking civil remedies, at least initially against those involved in immigration assistance fraud because the first goal is to get restitution for victims. http://www.ag.ny.gov/media_center/2010/mar/mar1a_10.html
The latest victory in the fight against immigration fraud and victimization was announced by Cuomo's office on March 1, 2010. The Attorney Generals' Office has won a court judgment of more than $3 million against a "consultant" in Queens who has targeted and defrauded immigrants. In this case, the "consultant" routinely charged a retainer of $7,000 with fees often reaching up to $15,000 per person for the promise of permanent residence. The consultant wrongly claimed that she could get permanent resident status through alleged relationships with government officials. Of course, the services were never performed and the consultant routinely refused to give refunds or return documents.
As a result of Cuomo's lawsuit, the New York Supreme Court has ordered the consultant to pay full restitution to 37 families who came forward and demonstrated that they were defrauded by this consultant. An additional $2.7 million in penalties was imposed for engaging in the unauthorized practice of law and misrepresentation of services that could be performed. The consultant is also permanently restricted directly and indirectly from engaging in the business of immigration-related services.
Over the past several months, other consultants have been shut down and active investigations continue. The fight to end this blight on immigrant communities in New York City and State continues and serves as an example for all who are committed to fighting immigration fraud and the unauthorized practice of law.

The important thig is the period since yoour last admission to the US before July 2007.
Say you entered in Apr 2007 then you would not have accumulated 180 days of unauthourized stay in US before filling 485 and you will be OK.

Guru's please help with the following situation: Labor PD: Dec 2002, Labor approved Feb 2005, I-140 approved May 2005, Filed I-485 (because of retrogation) in May 2006 for both me and wife. Got EAD Dec 2006. Got laid off in Feb 2007 from sponsoring company and decided that I have had enough of US immigration waiting and returned to home country for good in April 2007. Changed address to friends US address for USCIS records just to make sure that any communication from USCIS does not get lost in the mail. Was sure that the employer will cancel the whole GC process. But to my suprise on April 21st 2008, received the automated email from USCIS that 485 has been approved. The I-797 approval notice of action was received at my friends US address with a note that the plastic card should arrive within 30 days. This was back in April-May 2008 time frame. Well the plastic card never arrived inspite of phone calls to USCIS to either cancel the 485 or send the card.
Can someone please educate me as to what I should do get the 485 cancelled and stop further processing of my wife's 485. I am afraid that I am stuck in a situation where the USCIS records indicate that I am a permanent resident when they never fully approved my case in time, while I have been out of the US for 2 years and do not intend to return. The US Consulate here has been of no help. Will this have any overhang for future US visits/immigration for me and my wife or for my children who are US Citizens.

Visa statistics
Visa Statistics (http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/statistics/statistics_1476.html)
from 2000 looks like about 300K EB visa was wasted.
Also, you can see, EB1+Eb2ROW has s always been in the 50-70K range every year
EB1 I/C each is increasing from 3K to 6K, EB2 ROW is increasing from 10K to about 30K

Hello All,
My first I-140 (EB3) got denied and is pending in appeals office for more than 1-1/2 years. Since 140 was denied my 485 was also denied.
Later we filed new labor (in 2009) and 140 (EB-2) and got approval after 8 months.
My questions are:
1. Can I file 'motion to reopen' for 485s based on new 140 approval and use the previous priority date (which is 2004)?
2. If not, can I file motion to reopen 485 based on old 140 (which is pending in appeals office) and later if they are open, can we link these 485s with new 140?
Please advise.

Gurus,
My case is - PD Nov 2007 , I-140 approved June 2008. I -485 is not applied. Can I change Job on this basis and still maintain my Priority date ?
BTW : Current company lawyer does not give copy of receipt of I-140 ( says its company property) though I know the LIN #.
Please guide
Thanks
