Lately, USCIS has started looking into H1B transfers more carefully and giving applicants tough time approving it with all kinds of RFE, read through the forum for others experience, keep that in mind before making your move...I am not trying to scare you though, its just a pointer to whats going on currently.

But I have a lot to be thankful for. Thanks to IV, he has his EAD and can have one less thing to worry about in his new job search.
Sorry to hear this! Hopefully he will have no problems given the job market conditions (and the EAD, of course)!

please help
I updated my address via online at USCIS, sent the AR-11 via certified mail, only to find out that my current address was not on file for my I-485 that was pending at that time.
I called TSC using POJ technique, and the IO who answered was very helpful and she took down my new address. I provided both mine and my spouse's receipt numbers and she updated the address for both of us. I had three soft LUD's only after I spoke to the IO.
For those who have to change their address, please take some time and call TSC and verify your address on file! Hope this helps.

What are chances of Dream Act?
What are the chances of including our provisions in the bill?
What happens if the bill passes without our provisions?
What happens if the bill fails?
WHAT ARE OUR CHANCES IN 2011?
Null, zero, Nada, Zilch
Just google Dream act. and then google Recapture visas. You will have your answer.

I got an email from my lawyer who indicates the RFE is related to my medical missing from the 483 package we sent. I am pretty positive we sent it, but seems like USCIS has some way to firing a RFE.
Anyway, my lawyer is asking me that getting a new medical done would be better as that is quick and more pratical. Don't know if that might be true.
Any ideas for those who got RFE for medical?
I too got RFE for medical forms. My attorney asked me to get the medical exam redone as USCIS updated the medical exam requirements in 2008, now doctor has to include the x-ray report along with I693(this was not there in 2007) if tbskin test >= 5mm. Given all the changes i got it redone just to be safe and we are preparing to respond to RFE.

USCIS addresses RFE's to attorney who represents you, you will not get the RFE. Even if you call USCIS, they will not provide you with clear details.
Try calling them to know about your RFE; you might get lucky!
I did call them... They didn't provide me the details of the Additional evidence and asked me to wait for the Notice.. Also they said they will be sending it to my address.. I was under the impression that they will be sending it to my lawyer.

Hi All:
Question: I have a I-140 PD Sept 2005 - EB-3, And completed 4.5 years (6year end oin July 2008) on H1. I changed the job in Jan, 2007 and using the approved I-140- 3 year H1 Ext rule, I received my extention for 3 year until 2010. Now my new employer des not want to file for greencard for 1 year. meanwhile if my old employer withdraws my I-140 what would happen in this case, if I start my LC application in jan 2008.
There is technically no link between the extended H1 and the Labor / I140 approval, if you have any labor application pending for more than 1 year OR a Approved 140 at the time of next renewal you are fine. Here is why i say that, one of my co worker had a labor application filed in 2001 and he completed his 6 years in 2004 (mid year), he got his H1 extended (7th year) based on the pending application. Since the labor application was taking for ever (it was complicated, it was filed in RIR and later USCIS changed it to regular and stuff like that) our company filed a new one in 2004 Jan from a different location. Some time in late 2005 his original Labor application got denied and his H1 was up for another renewal (8th year) in 2005 technically it sounded like a big problem but the company lawyers used the second labor application which was filed in 2004 (while he was in his 6th year, after completing 5 years) which was pending for more than 1 year by mid 2005 and he got extensions, infact he has got another (9th year ) and is currently up for the 10th year extension ..... no Issues.
Please consult with a good Lawyer and confirm the same

I think you are positioned well with a full time position and income.
Here is what I would suggest. Continue with your full time job and on the side start looking for a job and make sure that you get hold of good consulting company(ies). If they find you a position, they will/may file for the H1B Xfer. Once the H1b exfer is complete, you can go an join them.
This is all easy said than done. You will have to find a position where the client is willing to wait for your H1B approval and etc. Since you are already on an H1B all you need is a receipt number for the new H1B, but it is getting tricky with denials these days. You dont want to leave your existing full time job and join the consulting company only to realise that the H1B xfer did not go through.
Best wishes

So if he initiates H1b transfer but as you said waits with the current employer and if his transfer gets denied will that affect his current H1b?? or is he safe to continue with the current employer?

Hi Prem,
Thank you very much for the insight of my issue. Just want to inform you that my employer(who intitiated the transfer now) are the employer and the client for me. Hopefully I might not get any RFE and as you said if I get the reciept number after 14 or 15 calendar days and update the result of petition in a week or so, that would be great.
Once again thank you very much for your reply. I will keep posted about my status.

The only language indigenous to India on the list of translators seems to be Punjabi. As far as I know the place where they might place you would be in NWFP in Pakistan. Do you really want a green card at that cost? :rolleyes:

Documents required for EAD/I-765 per person:
Completed Form I-765 (EAD):
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765.pdf
2 photos(full frontal)
USCIS filing fee - $180.00 check payable to 'United States Citizenship and Immigration Service' OR 'USCIS' with your (A# or SSN#) and I-765 mentioned in the comments section of the check
Copy of recent I-94 card (both sides)
Copy of visa page of passport in color
Copy of driver's license
Copy of I-485 receipt notice (if applicable)
Copy of I-140 approval notice
Copy of Marriage certificate (if applying for spouse)
I also included the latest H1B Approval Notice and Birth Certificate as per the checklist by my lawyer. His fees was high so I filed couple of weeks back and got the Receipt Number from the back of my check.
Since this is not concurrent filing, i think the fees will increase on July 30th.
I dont think 140 approval notice is manditory, in many cases employees do not have 140 approval notice because that is a property of employer and not employee, 485 receipt notice is fine.

What about those whose PD is 2006 or later and DID file I-485?!?
What a waste of poll!
EB2-India has been retrogressed throughout 2006. If your PD is 2006, how did you file your I-485? Are you counting July 2007 filing? Dont count that, see the first post
