Hi,
I have seen that myself a couple of times. I had read somewhere on the USCIS site that the dates get updates also as a result of some backend process that they run on their side too, not necessarily when status change happens.
Hope that helps

there was a thread yesterday discussing this news. It is indeed welcome news. Atleast now USCIS should concentrate on FIFO approvals. There are just too many 2003/4/5 EB-2I applicants waiting in line when 2006 applicants got approved in a frenzy last couple of months...what a cruel joke! and for EB-3I, this news may reveal the total number of cases pending. Nobody seemed to know the accurate count...
Sorry I didnt see the thread. Still dont actually. Where is it? Thanks.

There is a sudden change of plan. My company wants me in US for two months - March 15 - May 15. Then i have to go back to India till Dec 09 and come back to join work from Jan 2010. My questions -
1. Will i be facing any questions at the immigration (point of entry) when i come back on Jan 2010?
2. Any other situation or scenario that i should be aware of?
3. If i receive pay check for just two months in 09, will there be a problem when i file taxes for 2009?
4. How long can i stay outside US on a H1b visa?
Thanks a lot.

Never saw how fire looks like....these sparks now and then sputter out of a fireplace of mounting frustation. Most sparks loose momentum because cold blowers are too many here.
Tierd of hopes! and frozen by these cold blowers! :o

I dont think there is anway of tracking money orders from USPS..
I sent money orders for 485. is there a way to track if money orders were cashed by USCIS..the money already left my bank once the money order was issued by my bank

Can someone who used Advance Parole to travel back to USA extend his H1.
Candidate has H1 valid while coming back and also worked on H1 after coming back.
yes, Even if you used your AP to travel back to US, you can come back and file an H1 extension.

I am working in Company A and currently on OPT. My 2008 H1visa has been approved. It will be effective on Oct.1st. Now I got a much better job offer from company B, and need to join the new company in July. How can I transfer my H1 visa? Thanks a lot in advance. By the way, I can work on OPT for any employer before Oct 1st.
Is it not that three contineous salary slips (on prev. H-1B employment) required for filing H-1B by new employer?
If such changeover is allowed, it it not misuse of system? People have applied multiple H-1B due to lottery. If this is allowed, people can easily move to the employer they wanted without going through the USCIS approved employer.
And I have been hearing that there are many employers ready to file H1B if you pay them cash.

I am a July 2nd filer with PD of OCT 2006. I am planning to switch my employer using EAD. Should I notify USCIS with AC21? What is my best option? What is the risk?
I appriciate your help.
Thank you
There are two options here:
1. Document that you are porting using AC 21; keep the documentation with lawyer but do not send it to the USCIS
2. Send the above documentation to USCIS.
The best option for YOU depends on specifics of the case: details of PERM (job title, job description, prevailing wage, location etc), your new job (job title, job description, wage, location, financial stability of the company etc) and your immigration history. (any out of status time etc). This decision is best made by a competent lawyer so that you do not face problems in future.
I will highly advise you to get help from a good and competent lawyer; it's money worth spent.
Good Luck.

I just received my H1B starting Oct 1st. My desi (cheap) employer first decided to not pay me till Oct 15th because I didn't have a SSN. Then after my SSN came they decided that they wanted to reduce my salary, the reason being that the company's economic situation has changed since Jan filing.
I am concerned because I am going for my visa stamping in March and the last thing I want is to be out of status! When I mentioned this to my boss his answer was -- We will give you a letter stating that you are working reduced number of hours, and we cannot afford the salary promised on I-129.
Can somebody help? What are my options? I was on H4 and moved to H1. I am really frustrated with their attitude and in this economy it is really hard to find a job.
Any help would be great.

Alabaman,
It looks like you want to enjoy the freedom of expression
of the country that you are trying to immigrate.
Some stuck "moderators" may not like making fun of
Representatives on this "public forum"

L1A - qualifies for EB1 but Indian companies very rarely do it.
L1B - EB2/EB3 but again not many sponsor.

All the people who oppose SKILL, the anti-immigrationists, the protectionists, etc all know of the lobbying and are actively opposing it (while keeping their focus on next year's Amnesty bill too)...

Soft LUD for me. It was so soft that it didnt even update the date.
New term: Very Soft LUD. No visible change to the naked eye, but something is cooking behind the scenes regarding your case
And how to you differentiate between soft lud and very soft lud?:o

Govt of India will do nothing to stop harrassment of NRIs at Indian Airport (customs) and we are thinking that they will do something here.

Here's a killer.
- Applied for EAD and AP renewal for self, spouse and child (total 5 apps) with a RD of July 22 and ND of July 23, 2008.
- When I would check the case status online for my renewal apps, I kept getting a message "Case Retreival falied. Receipt # DOES NOT EXIST" :eek::eek::eek:
- GC approved on Aug 9
- Lawyer gets a copy of my Approval Notice for I-485 on August 20 and sends a copy to me by overnight mail ALONG with the renewal AP which was approved on August 18 - a good nine days after GC approval:confused::confused::confused:
- No idea where my EAD apps are!!! not that it matters
GAWD - Some serious system fixes need to be done at USCIS......
Congrats!!!
I am happy for you. This wait and hope when the dates are current is very taxing. may lady luck smile on me too

Admin2 - thank u much for your motivation. I do understand IV is doing great work but if you can shed some light on whats going on behind the scenes, it you really help me decide on many things. One of the thing, my lawyer is recommending is to initiate porting to EB-2 which I understand may take anywhere around 18 mnths if all goes well...

ekauraaya, i didnt mean to sound like the police, but your post did sound a bit harsh. if you didnt intend it then i am sorry as well. the reason i am so touchy is because me and my wife just got done paying off a $25,000 credit card bill that we accumulated while i was a student. no, we werent splurging like crazy to buy the latest gadgets. this was survival stuff like groceries and gas that we had to encounter while in graduate school and being married at the same time, with no financial support from family and very little stipend from university. so we know what its like to live in that nightmare. thank god we are done with it. luckily we never missed any payments and have good credit scores but we know the stress of having a huge debt through bad circumstances even if one is not a spendthrift.
So when you mentioned "goof-ups" to the other guy without knowing his actual history, that set me off on a tirade.
Thats all. no ill feelings to anyone. hope you understand
Ok you just twisted my words, took it out of context and made new meaning out of it... oh man relax, i was not trying to kid about anyones misfortune here! I was not even thinking about it from that angel!
If you read carefully i did reply to his question although i do agree it is a bit cryptic ;) and if my reply sounded like kidding about "misfortune" then i really do apologize to the original poster, that was not my intent.
Green_Card: Thanks for policing... :rolleyes:
