Graduated from college last year, finally found a job that I really like. Currently on OPT. Just curious to know how long will it take for employer to apply for labor and I-140.
I know most of you are thinking - "are you mad, esp with current gc situation? " the thing is I like it here. My relatives and friends are here. I am hoping that with so many people stuck in the gc process, somebody has to fix it soon - and I (& other newcomers) will benefit from better immigration policy.
can any one let me know how long the initial stages take currently?

Immigration Law from Houston Immigration Lawyer - Annie Banerjee Has Just Posted the Following:
Today's Wall Street Journal has their main front page article on how H-1B quotas have not been used up yet and argues that the market should dictate the numbers rather than Government quotas.
Arbitrary quotas have been ruled unconstitutional by all courts in every domestic affairs except for immigration law. You cannot have quotas for segregation or desegregation, for diversity in public education. You cannot have quotas at workplace. We read in Law School that quotas inherently violate due process. But I had to throw my constitution down my office window when I started practicing immigration law.
When the colonists came to America, there was no problem, no quotas. White Anglo Saxon Protestants could simply come and work. Then as more and more Italians and Chinese came in, restrictions began to be put in from 1875 onwards. Chinese were banned because they were "Coolie labor" for lewd and immoral purposes. After World War 1, the Congress restricted immigration to 2% of their nationality already settled in America. Since there were no non white people in the US at that time, most of Asia and Africa was shut out from the US. This was done to preserve the racial mix in the United States. Since then a lot of restrictive immigration Acts establishing arbitrary quotas were enacted and still valid today. The Permanent Residency Process has quotas in both Employment based and Family Immigration. So does the H-1B program for bringing in the brightest and the best.
These quotas have risen from anti Immigration and Xenophobic attitudes prevalent in America. As the Wall Street Journal points out, why should a very bright person from say India or China come to the US to be treated as a second class citizen, at the bottom of the social ladder? They would rather stay in their own country which are emerging economies. Yet, as the WSJ articles point out, 35% of Microsoft patents were developed by immigrants, and the person who developed Google News was an H-1B from India.
Those patents will just go to India, and someday the children or grandchildren of these anti immigration forces will seek immigration to India.

Hi,
My current Attorney could not inform my employer for H1B RFE. H1B RFE supposed to be submited by May 25th. however Attorney only informed today about the RFE. Employer needs a week to submit RFE. can we submit RFE after RFE submission date ?
Thanks

Deepadandamudi,
Because you are not currently invalid non-immigrant status, you are not entitled to a change of status to H-1. But, once an H-1 petition is approved on your behalf, you can leave the US, obtain an H-1 visa stamp in your passport and then return to the US using that visa. Unless your employer is exempt from the H-1 cap, the earliest you could do this would be Oct. 2010.
As long as you remain legally married you are entitled to the EAD, and you can maintain both documents. However, if you work for another employer using your EAD you will violate your H-1 status.

I too received a similar notice. My employer replied by submitting proof of the paid checks. Meanwhile, I received my receipt notice that shows $395 received. I have also received the FP notice and the same was completed yesterday. Customer service was not of much help.
Thanks a lot cnag.
I have completed my finger printing a week back. My 485 receipt says the amount as $395. So the $70 is already included in the $395?
I think I will also get my lawyers to reply to USCIS with the proof of encashed cheque.

My friend also don't have any issue. He filled on June 10th 2007 and has to leave county on June 12th 2007. He and spouse got stamping and came back to US on July 11th 2007. They have done FP and got EAD.
It's advisible to to have Receipt# before leaving and I am hoping you will get in next 8 weeks for sure. Good Luck.
I have I-140 approved and also based on I-140, I have 3 years H1B approved which expires in 2010.
My I-485 was rejected and I have re-submitted which is obviously pending and not further news on that (refiled on 10/10/07 at CSC)
I have following questions:
1. If I want to travel to INDIA for 6-8 weeks, Is there any problem?
2. Can I get H1B VSIA stampled at BOMBAY?
3. Do I need any other document except H1B approval notice & I-140 approval notice?
4. Do I need to mention about I-485 been filed?
Please help. Thank you in advance.

My husband's employer told him that the 6 year H1 B stay cap has been eliminated since the year 2008. Is that true?
No. There is still the 6-year limit, unless the H-1B holder has reached a certain stage of the permanent residence process.

Regd conversion to PERM ie refile in PERM and retain the PD your title, minimum job requirements, employer's name, employer's address etc should remain the same except the prevailing wage.
Some of the factors to consider before refiling:
1)Length of time the traditional or RIR Labor certification application has been pending: If you feel that traditional or RIR will be certified soon don't refile in PERM else do it.
2)Alien requiring a seventh-year extension:
It is uncertain at this time whethre USCIS will permit the alien to withdraw the labor certification and retain the PD date for the purpose of replying on the provision under AC21 to obtain a seventh-year extension. Until USCIS pronounces a clear policy in this area, one should proceed with extreme caution before refiling under the PERM regulatoins.
3)Economic factor like Layoffs in the industry, Recent layoffs by employer, increased costs for the employer
If the above economic factors seem to cause any issues dont refile.
This is from a OLD PERM manual i believe so please check with your attorney on recent ones and proceed ahead. However i do see a lot of people doing it successfully.

As most of us know, Senator Specter and the Judiciary Committee passed a bill last night. All the pro-immigrant legislation remained in there (which is a good thing)
Senator Frist had threatened that he will bring his bill to the floor if the Senate Judiciary Committee does not do it. Since the bill passed the committee yesterday, most people assume that the Senate will debate Senator Specter's bill.
WRONG!
As per this news here http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2006/03/28/panel_acts_to_expand_immigrant_rights/?page=full
Despite yesterday's vote, Senate majority leader Bill Frist warned that he may substitute his bill, which only enforces borders, and ask the full Senate to vote on it instead of the far broader and more lenient measure approved yesterday by the judiciary committee.
In any event, a bruising battle on the Senate floor is expected this week. And even if the Senate approves the committee's bill, any measure that appears to provide ''amnesty" to those who are here illegally faces fierce opposition in the House, which in December passed a bill that would erect a fence along the Mexican border and make it a crime to provide social services to undocumented immigrants.
And while President Bush is a strong supporter of a guest worker program, he has signaled hesitancy to allowing undocumented immigrants to gain legal status.
Basically there is NO guarantee which bill comes to the floor. Please update this thread as you find more information about this
