I don't think consulate ask details of all employees if size is 5k or more. Further more you can tell officer that it is impossible to get wage details of all employee. I hear some time some desi companies gives w2 of all employees etc.. would consular officer show his/her w2 ? but since our desi companies feeding what they need , they ask what ever...
In this case they did ask for the details of all the employees of the company, probably they want to make sure that the employer has hired some US citizens as well. The company size is about 500-1000 employees. Since they have asked for the employee detail the employer has to provide that information otherwise the employee would not be able to get the visa stamped.
Let's see hoping for the best.

Not sure about H1B, but I know this that she has to get give some certification exams for the state that she wants to practice from. A friend's wife got a certification done and then she worked in the US, and her employer filed for her GC and the GC was approved in 6 months in 2006. They are from India. I believe the US has a huge need for physiotheraphists and so under some rule/quota they get a GC very fast.
That schedule A category is long gone and PT's from every where are now just EB-3.

I could have written this! I too am flummoxed by seeing this on my e-filed AP application. I think its pre-decision activity but I could be wrong. Anyone?
Last week I e-filed my AP (I-131) renewal and sent documents to TSC. Soft LUD today, it is in "Testing and Interview� stage.
Is this stage generally expected for renewal of AP? I am not sure why the online message says "request for appointment reschedule" although my application is to renew AP.
Did any one go through this process before? pls share your experience.
Here is the status from the website
Testing and Interview

newyorker123, what happened to your interview/ I am facing possible PIMS delay and would love to hear from your experience
krishmunn, I don't quite understand the $8 that you are talking about appointments in Mexico. I checked it out and they are requiring to pay $150 for H1 appointments.

I just got my I-140 approval and my priority date is 02/2008. I fall in the "All Charge-ability Areas Except Those Listed" EB3 and the March bulletin PD is 01MAY05. My lawyer is telling me I cant apply yet and since I am 2 semesters away from completing my Master's I should finish the course and just apply in the EB2 class. I dont have the funds to apply for this whole damn thing all over again. Can someone please help!? I've honestly turned suicidal dealing with this BS..
Mr Haider
Please give the entire facts of the case before asking for advise.
1. You said your I-140 is cleared, that means u might be working currently or did they apply as future employee
2. What does your master's have to do with your EB3 application? if you already filed in Eb3 and your date is current there is no point in waiting for completion of the masters and then filing in EB2. Either the attorney is drunk or you are not giving the entire information.
Please give all relevant info and hopefully somebody can guide you. If you feel your attorney is messing you up, you can file for your 485 by yourself if you company agrees.
either way we need more details to help you dude
- cheers

I had the same problem last year.
1. Attorney Aron Finkelstein in Sheila murthy office helped me out.
This is what we did, We filed an MTR to consider my case in Eb3, with it we also attached a new application for Eb3 and specified in Mtr, to consider our new application if they fail to accept my MTR. My new application for Eb3 was approved.
I cant help you on your EAd and stuff ,as I know your EAD becomes invalid immediately once your 485 is denied, which will be denied if your underlying 140 application is denied.
I would suggest, you contact a attorney soon.
My suggestions are my experience and stuff, I am not an attorney to give you legal advise.

Very courteous. No problems even though I said I was no longer employed with the petitioner and that I was looking for a job.:)

I have a quick question related to my approved I-140 and my spouse's visa status. My wife got into a medical residency and the hospital that she plans to join will sponsor only J1 visa for her. I was wondering if the J1 visa for her will be affected by the fact that my I-140 is approved. My law firm says that they had to include my spouse's name in I-140 application as a requirement.
My concern is since I-140 is a petition to immigrate to US what are the risks involved with my wife's J1 visa. Can she go to India to get her J1 visa stamping? Will the approved I-140 negatively affect her chances of entering back US at the port of entry?

Being current means very little. I've been there 3 times over the last few years. 4 years after filing my 485, and 2 RFEs later(each generated during a PD current period BTW) and 3 "currents", I am still waiting. I am on my 5th EAD.
So while optimism is good, with the USCIS don't get too hopeful. Incompetence abounds.
You deserve it. Hope Sept 1st brings the real deal for you

Your wife can't change her status because she is not currently maintaining status if the H-1B was approved as a change of status. CIS will only approve a change of status with proof that the applicant has maintained status. She needs to leave the US and return in H-4 status to effect H-4 status. She has been out of status since October 2008.
If the company has revoked the H1 prior to the start date does she still needs to apply for H1 to H4?

What was the cause for H1B rejection??
My H-1 B was not rejected, just application got returned back to the lawyer because some form was missing in it. They had refiled it back.
I donot know any other details, as lawyer did not share it with me..

They are still good but they are direct to IO desks at NSC. I did not want to start barrage of calls to them. What I can do is I can PM you the numbers. You had been a contributing member and I would happy to tell you what I know. But please exercise your judgement....
You had some numbers there, are they not good anymore?

Hello,
My I-140 got denied based on my Education.
I have 3 yrs + PG Diploma which is equivalent to US Degree according to my education evaluation.
Experience:
- 6 yrs of OUTSIDE USA experience
- 5 yrs of USA experience including 2 yrs of experience with current company.
- I am working as FULL time with an American Company at present
The JOB Description for PERM was:
"Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science plus 5 years experience; 3 year Bachelor’s degree plus 2 year post-graduate diploma in Software Engineering and 5 years
You dont say your category. I am assuming this is EB2 for which such denials are common place these days. Pls update your profile.
Long story short, it is on the education evaluation mapping to the requirements of the PERM position. Bachelors Degree in computer science means a 4 Year under graduate degree in US in the field of computer sciences or its foreign equivalent. USCIS does not equate 3+2 > 4. It may work for H1 petition but definitely not filing a 140 in a EB2 category
That you dont specify what kind of 3 year degree you got is another matter.
You need to consult a good attorney for options assuming that it is your attorney who got you into the trouble in first place by not making sure what is advertised for is what you got.
go to Murthy or Shusterman or Ron. I dont hold brief for any one, but all of these are experienced enough to have handled similar cases. Dont rely on people's suggestions here. I dont mean to demean people who offer suggestions in good faith, but what worked for some one may not work for you.

It is only either Nebraska or Texas now. No other centers process I-140. For Texas center, it is appx 1 to 3 months. But for Nebraska, it is anytime from 6 - 9 months.

I am not sure why it's so hard to understand what I want :)
1- My wife's h4 visa will expire after 4 years
2- I already have my h1b extension
3- What I am saying that if I don't get the stamp in time, I am planning to enter with AP
Given all the points above, and the fact that I'll be working on H1b status, would this void my wife's h4 visa?

My AP has expired in Jan 09. I am NOT planing to go out. My question is what do I have to do after I-94 date of oct 21 09 is past. Will it make me out of status?
It's complicated. You are not in any defined "status", but you are authorized to stay while you have an adjustment of Status pending. You are not authorized to work or travel, however - you need the EAD and AP for that, if you don't have H-1B or other nonimmigrant status.
