I am sorry to hear that they lost your papers. The same thing happened to me when we were filing our 485 papers in '05. This was just before the EB -2 retrogression....we had to mail in all papers including medicals before sept 30th.
My lawyer sent all the papers but USCIS had a huge volume of applications come in before the pending retrogression and they lost my papers. We had the delivery confirmation, but they wouldnt accept the 485 papers, they only accepted the I-140 papers and I had to wait until the July fiasco to apply for AOS.
I would suggest that you fight and get them to accept the papers, in hindsight I feel I should've fought a little harder and pushed my attornies a little more to get justice. Oh well hindsight is always 20-20!
Goodluck!

Instead of trying to figure out which copy/original of AP goes where, and how many originals you should/will get, understand this simple fact: If you have an approved multiple entry AP, then you will be able to enter multiple times.
Each port of entry has a diffierent way of doing things. At the end of your immigration through the POE, you will have atleast one AP travel document in your hand, which will be stamped. You can use the same document to re-enter before the expiration date (on the AP), as long as it is multiple entry.
So just relax and enjoy your travel.
When it is three copies (Nebraska has been giving three), on first travel, one copy goes to airlines, the 2nd copy goes to POE and 3rd copy remains with AP holder (the 3rd copy must be stamped at POE). On subsequent travels give a photocopy (of 3rd) to airlines, ask POE to make a copy (of 3rd) for themselves and keep 3rd (after getting subsequents stamp).
When it is two copies (Texas has been giving two), on first travel, give a photocopy to airlines the 1nd copy goes to POE and 2nd copy remains with AP holder (the 2nd copy must be stamped at POE). On subsequent travels give a photocopy (of 2nd) to airlines, ask POE to make a copy (of 2nd) for themselves and keep 2nd (after getting subsequents stamp).

Is the Senior App Dev position with a different company? If so, if you want to use AC21 to switch to this new company, you will need to have a job which is "same or similar". AFAIK, you will need to have a "Programmer Analyst" position in the new co.

It is a bit early. No checks will be cleared except the legal fee checks. :)
Tomm will be the 23rd...so logically my application has been there for three weeks along with all the other july 2nd filers.
they say they will reach receipting compliance by 1st of August at the NSC...if that is true we need to see some cleared checks right away

Thank you very much for the replies.
Right now I am leaning towards cancelling my trip, even though it is going to cost me the entire price of the ticket, besides of course the immeasurable cost of not visiting home.
About the suggestion of hiring a lawyer, can an immigration lawyer here in the US help me in any way with a situation (the renewal interview) and an all-powerful person (the interviewer) half-way across the world? I can see how a lawyer may help smooth this problem if I were changing status while in the country (say from F1 to H1), but I don't see how a lawyer would help with my visa renewal...perhaps I just don't understand the extent to which a lawyer may be able to help. Is my question clear?
Again, thank you for the advice.
The lawyer will be able to tell you (i) what is the legal implication of your charge in regard to F-1, (ii) statute of limitations of your charges, (iii) how long the records are kept (there are levels of access and with time some charges go down the levels). A lawyer gives you legal counsel (suggestions/appraisals); they are not supposed to "do" stuff for you, nor take decisions for you. You pay your lawyer simply for reliable information (and paperworks, usually).

Mark is from LI. I wonder why he does not show up any more. Has he quit IV?
He is active - he is a big guy now, sometime back, I approached him for his autograph, and he said he does not have time to sign autographs :D:D:D
Jokes apart - Mark is very much in IV. He is involved at the national level more than the State level - he does make sure he is in conference calls and if we have a meetup in his area, he will make it for sure.

I see some words 'brightest', and 'high-skilled'. Who is classified as 'brightest' and 'high-skilled'?
Can EB immigrants expect something out of CIR?
Senator Charles E. Schumer (http://schumer.senate.gov/new_website/record.cfm?id=314990)
6. We must encourage the world�s best and brightest individuals to come to the United States and create the new technologies and businesses that will employ countless American workers, but must discourage businesses from using our immigration laws as a means to obtain temporary and less-expensive foreign labor to replace capable American workers; and finally
------------------------
////////////////////////
------------------------
Sixth, we need to recognize the important contribution that high-skilled immigrants have already made, and must continue to make, toward revitalizing and reinventing the American economy.
No immigration system would be worthwhile if it is unable to attract the best and brightest minds of the world to come to the United States and create jobs for Americans�as has been the case for Yahoo, Google, Intel, E-Bay, and countless other companies.
That being said, any reformed immigration system must be successful in encouraging the next Albert Einstein to emigrate permanently to the United States while, at the same time, discouraging underpaid, temporary workers from taking jobs that could and should be filled by qualified American workers.

Hi
What is is your 140 Filing Date and which center ?? When did you see Status change online. Did you see any change, while the appln. is being taken for processing.
Actually, my question, is my 140 went to TSC on Aug 29, 2007 (From NSC), As per latest procesing statistics, I see, upto Aug 26,2007, cases were cleared by May 15th. My case, must have been taken for processing by now. But I donot see any Status Change.
Donot know, how correct are these Processing Statitstics. Did 140 processing Date go back in TCS. How do I know, approx. date of my 140 clearance. I am really in need of the same, as I am running a tough situation.:mad::o
Appreciate any inputs to this situation of mine. :)
thanks.
My I-140 was approved on 5/8/2008 and my attorney received the original approval notice on 5/14/2008. The online status on uscis website was like "approved, approval notice sent" at that time. But since 5/22/2008, the onlien status changed again into:
Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.
On May 22, 2008 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.
Anybody has any idea what this "New document" could be? My attorney said he has not received anything yet. Thanks in advance.

I have browsed at two local specialist camera stores but the only digitals were either very old or cost more than I can buy new on line.:(
When you buy a film camera, you can "upgrade" the image quality, up to a certain point, by buying different film. With a digital SLR, you're essentially buying the camera plus a certain (but unknown) amount of "film." Any camera will fail at some point in time, but the general probability is that the shutter of a $1000 film camera will last a while longer than the shutter of a $1000 digital camera (the former would be a pro model, while the latter is basically amateur or lower end prosumer).
What I'm not trying to do is convince you to buy a film SLR. I have one, and would upgrade to a DSLR at the drop of a hat if I could afford it. What I am attempting to caution you about, is that a used DSLR will come with no reasonable warranty, and a certain (unknown) amount of the "film" already used up. Given the apparent "free"-ness of digital capture, lots of people shoot thousands of frames per day without thinking (I have nothing against pros who need to "machine gun" it to capture the right moment in sports - this rant was against amateurs who shoot tons of frames without any thought, hoping something good may come out by chance). Thus, you have no idea how much life will be left in a used DSLR when you buy it, and more likely than not, there will be no guarantee if it does fail. It's like buying expired film on ebay... risky, but you pays your money and you takes your choice.

I am planning to drive to Canada. I have the paperwork Canadian embassy sent me.
I'll fill this paperwork and the list of items to be brought in later. Possibly answer
any questions the officials at the POE ask. Anything else at POE that I need to do?
After passing POE into Canada, possibly into a city, do I need to register at any office saying I landed? I am planning to come back very next day after landing.
This going back and forth the POE to get Canadian PR status seems to be way too easy for immigration ;). Hence my concern.
Please advice.

While entering the USA in Aug 2007 the Immigration office gave me I-94 validity till June 2008 which is equal to my H1-B Visa Stamp validity in passport, I had my new I-797 H1-B document from new employer with valid I-94 at the bottom till Sep 2009.
Will the I-94 validity given by immigration officer over rules the I-797 I-94 validity. If so, can i apply for the extension. Or shall i go out of the country and while entering ask the immigration officer to give validity based on my new I-797.
Thanks in advance.

I am on EAD currently. Priority date is Nov 2004 (EB3).
I just switched to a new employer using AC21. Can I file for my EB2 and then interfile AOS ?.
I understand that we need to file new Labor and I140. What happens at I485 ?. Do we need to revoke the current I485 and then apply for a new one. What will be status at that point and what will happen to the EAD ?.
Please point me to any thread if this has already been discussed.
Your EAD is based of a pending 485, if you withdraw then it becomes invalid. Your status will be AOS until the decision is made on 485.

Hi,
I am in a unique situation, any advise/help would be appreciated.
My H1 Visa and I-94 are expiring on Jan 20, 2009. It can be extended till Apr 2011 as I have been in US only for 3 Yrs and 8 Months. My current employer is not extending my Visa, so I am going to get it extended through another company, say COMPANY ABC (a Staffing company basically).
However, I don't want to be with Company ABC because I am soon going to get a job with a direct client, CLIENT XYZ, but that won't happen until Jan 25th or so.
So my question is, if I apply for extension through COMPANY ABC for now, just so that I don't go 'out of status' on Jan 20th, will CLIENT XYZ be able to apply for my extension on Jan 25th, while my application with Company ABC is still pending? Or they (CLIENT XYZ) will have to wait until my first application (With COMPANY ABC) is processed?
Basically, just want to know if a Company ABC has filed for H1 Transfer and I-94 extension before the expiry date, can another Company XYZ file for an extension/transfer after the expiry while the application from company ABC is still being processed?
Any help is appreciated. I have posted this query on couple of other posts but no one seems to know the answer! no one replied yet
