When my attorney filed the I-485 last month, he mentioned the correct name and the mispelled name in the brackets.
Any comments from senior members will be helpful.
Hello Friends,
I think many Indians might have faced this issue.We can spell same Indian name in several ways in English.
I have one friend who is ready to file I -485.
He found following issues with Birth certificate. Does USCIS rejects or REF I-485 for following reason ?
1) His mother�s name spelled differently in his Birth Certificate. (One letter is missing)
2) His wife's Birth Affidavit has different spelling for Father�s name. (One letter is different)
3) Is first name enought in Birth Certificate or it needs full name ?
Keep on good work of helping each other.

H-1B Quota is still available for all employers. Employers who have not yet proceeded with new H-1B filing can go ahead now too as per their business requirements. After many years since the Cap of H-1B started, it is still available even after Sept. 30, 2009. As of this writing, there are still H1B cap numbers available, both in the advanced-degree and regular H1B quotas. This means that H1B petitions can still be filed for fiscal year 2010. These filings can continue, as long as the cap numbers are available.
We like to share that H-1B petitions can be filed throughout FY10, until the cap numbers are all depleted. Petition filed under the 2010 Cap after October 1, 2009, the start date of work requested can be immediate. Since October 1, 2009 has already passed, and the H-1B numbers are still available, filings may request an immediate validity date. Like earlier, the start date for H-1B work can be as much as six months in the future, depending upon the needs of an employer. Usually one has to start the H-1B Cap process 6 months in advance of the requested start of employment, employers were all doing so in order to increase their chances of obtaining one of the limited cap numbers. Thus, cases were filed at the beginning of April, requesting an October 1st start date. However, we are now beyond October 1st, and Cap numbers remain available, it is possible to pick a more desirable start date, ranging from immediate to six months in the future.
There is not much progress in cases filed in FY 2010 quota yet. However, there is sharp increase in filings. The regular cap increased by 1600 cases between the end of August and the end of September, for a total of 46,700 as of September 25, 2009. This reflects a higher rate of filings than in the prior few months which may be due to re-filings and fresh filing as per upcoming requirements. We will keep you posted on further developments.

Employer 1(Very small company and doesn't exist anymore):
1) Labor cleared,
2) I-140 approved
Then Joined in another company (Multi billion company) Employer 2:
1) Labor cleared
2) Mistake: Didn't file I-140 and when priority dates were open in July 2007, they filed for I-485 with Old employer's I-140 and got EADs
3) Still waiting for Green card
My priority date: Sep 2002 (It is carried from first employer)
Still I am getting H1 B extensions - every 3 years with Employer 2
But my wife is working in EAD
In June 2010, we were informed by my company legal dept that they iled I485 incorrectly and they want to correct it. So they started over again.
1) Labor cleared
2) I-140 approved Mar 2011.
3) Priority dates are not current and waiting for it.
My options:1) Backout old I485 now and wait for priority dates and then reapply (Adv: No RFEs, No risk, high probability that we can retain Priority date. Diadv: My wife looses her job and get back to H4)
2) Backout I-485 when priority dates are open and reapply....(Adv: My can work longer and will get at least 90 days break. Disadv: Risk if get RFEs now or reject now before we reapply - risk to loose priority date)
Questions for you:1) Is there any way to file an ammendment to update new I-140 with my existing application without my wife getting impacted? If so, how much riskier it is?
2) Our attorney says we cannot do it because it is invalid I-485. And we have to file a new one. Is it?
3) Then does it mean my wife is working illegally?
4) When is the best time to backout (My wife is not happy to leave her current employer)?
5) Attorney says we have to update them with new I-140 if we get RFE asking for my second Employer's I-140. My question is, Why can't we do it now? How much riskier it is?
Please let me know. I appreciate your advice and help!

Guys,
Let the flowers reach them; let the suitors file the suit. But don't you think we should start a 'Seek information' campaign. Each of us write letters and faxes to DOS and USCIS and request them for this.
In May'07 the DOS moved forward the visa dates by 2 years for almost all categories. Now since USCIS have already receipted (or will soon do it) all the June applications, they should be in a position to release the information on how many applications they received for each category and for each country. We will request both the agencies to work together and release some kind of statistics some predictions like what they expect for Sept visa bulletin and further. We are living in dark and information like this will give us some insight and will let us plan our careers.
Guys please think about this seriously, I think this is the need of this hour.
Thanks

I had the same problems 3 weeks back for B'bay. We had to submit all papers atleast 5 days in advance to VFS office in Ahmedabad. They refused to accept my papers. I had to cancel that application and submit a new one with Regular H1B instead of Visa Renewal. Luckily, VFS accepted my application papers which i sent to my relatives in email. I signed the papers once i reached consulate.

Ask your company if they can do your H1 extension under CORP thus the legal entity does not change and there should be no issue.
It seems like for your initial H1, it was a mistake on their part that they filed you H1 under CORP while you were actually paid by the BANK. Can you ask them why they did that in the first place?
If it's a mistake on their part, there's no reason why you should suffer and they must take every effort to help you out. Work with them, talk to your manager, his/her manager and explain them the issue. It's an internal thing and I'm sure can be worked out.
Hope this helps.

Hello All,
My company filed for my H1-B extension and I have already received the Notice Of Action (Receipt) with "Received date: October 21, 2008" and "Notice Date: October 24, 2008." My case is in Vermont Center. However when I do the case search on USCIS.gov site, it says:
"Your case can not be found at this time in Case Status Online. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, you can either call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283, or you can send an e-mail to uscis.webmaster@dhs.gov."
I did not type my EAC number incorrectly. I did try to call the above number, which happens to be the national center's number. However it goes in loops and loops but I was not able to speak to a Customer Service representative...I tried almost all applicable options.
Is there a way i can call the Vermont Service directly. If so could anyone please list that number. I would really appreciate any kind of help and suggestions regarding this.
Thank you in Advance.

Agreed with Rune on the trees. Nice composition otherwise. I'd move to the other side of that tree line and shoot the barn from several angles. Looks like a lot of potential in that building. If you want the fence in the image, try it from the other end. Maybe the trees won't get in the way. The image also has the leaning-to-the-left feel to it.

Why should the employer hold your salary? If you had any agreement for paying back cost of your GC processing for leaving within a certain period, that would not hold any more (since last June such agreements are illegal)
No employer will write a direct agreement, you will have to payback the GC cost - instead they execute an agreement, employee should payback all the benefits (legal fees, service fee, tuition fee and etc)extended to him, if s/he leaves before X number of months/years - which is legal. Refer to one of the posts, http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=211373&postcount=3 , which has same opinion.
BTW, can you post the reference that states this kind of agreement is illegal - I would like to bookmark it, if one available.

That's why you get up at 4:30! My friends make fun of me for that... The successive ridgelines in the fog make for a real feeling of depth. I've tried that technique a few times, but never pulled it off this well. I also like the aspect ratio you chose, it contributes to the 3-D, receeding-to-a-point, effect. The color here is likewise very nice. The only thing I would say could be better is that the sun is distorted by the cloudline. It would be better if totally obscured, or better resolved. In any case, you can't control the clouds. Super shot.

Guys:
Is there anyway to get H1-B extension done fast ?
Using Premium Processing or anything like that..??
Please share your thoughts.
Yes there is. I paid for mine and got approval in 10 days. I did that because I did not want to wait.

I agree with you that you need to go with lawyers who are really specialized in immigration especially when the case is complicated.
I know a person whos company lawyer screwed up the case. (They are from a very reputed law firm). Then she went with Murthy, they did a great job and got it done for her. They charged her a lot but it was worth it.
So get the best out there. It may be expensive but if it fixes your case its worth it.
GCPOOL,
Thanks for the info you shared. I agree with you. Do you know if Rajiv's office can deal with PD porting issues successfully?

I have the same problem...(The description of your problem is so similar to mine, I'm thinking that you might be my lawyer trying to fish for an answer to my problem...I paid her thousands of dollars and she gets her answers from the Internet...funny :D)
I am a Brit, filed my I-140 and I-485 in Nebraska for my myself, wife and kids back in Jul-07. The I-140 was sent to Vermont, mine and my wife's I-485 have gone to "the office where they were transferred" (that really narrows it down) and my kid's I-485s were sent to Texas "it has jurisdiction over the case"
Since we live in Texas, I'm not sure why all our papers don't have Texan "jurisdiction".
My lawyers are inquiring with the USCIS and AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Association).
