Hi Ramesh,
Online case status is often incorrect, incomplete, or out-of-date. I would say it is correct about 70% of the time. That leaves a lot of room for error. Please don't think it will "save you" for being late on an RFE response.
You should not think everything is OK simply because online case status fails to mention the RFE being issued. (By the same token, you should not necessarily panic if online case status never acknowledges receipt of your RFE response, even though you have proof from FedEx that you sent it.)
As Elaine Martin said, the overwhelming odds are that your application will be denied due to the RFE deadline being missed by such a great deal. However, what is there to lose at this point by trying? Try to have the attorney explain as best s/he can the reason for the delay, and hopefully CIS will accept the late response. But be prepared for the likely denial.

Hi,
This is my first post here. I was looking for "Experience Letter Format" that Is needed for filing I-140. I have not started my GC yet but was looking for all the documents required. It seems to be a nice idea to get all the experience letters from the previous employers before starting labor process.
If some one has the format currently required by USCIS, please post it.
Thanks

As long as the water is all of the same temp and salinity there isn't any distortion because of water movement. Distortion does occur when you get mixing of water that has different density. Scuba diving you see that where you pass through layers of water on the way down. The layers can be either different temerature or different salinity. When you get that it looks like heat waves on a hot highway in the distance.
I have used the pentax optio under water a bit. It works well as a point and shoot but not much more than that. I wouldn't take it more than a few feet down. I don't think it is rated for very deep.
Good luck.
Stephen

Gurus,
Please advice. THis is urgent. Here is my situation.
I worked for a very big technology company. My PERM is approved EB2 PD 03/07, I-140 approved, 485 pending since July2007. I have an EAD card that is valid until 07/2010. It was my company's policy to renew H1B even if I have an EAD card. An extension was applied in September 2008 for my H1B that expired on November 30,2008. Unfortunately, USCIS denied it in error because they said the filing fee was not correct. This was done in error by USCIS and the attorney hired by my company replied to me on December 30h saying that it will be corrected by them. Now on January 08th, 2009 after the H1B denial, my company informed me that i was being laid off with severence pay until April of 2009. Also, the HR person told me that they wont revoke I-140.
What are my options now?
Can i transfer H1B to a new company as i dont want to use my EAD and continue on H1B. If yes, how much time do i have?
Please please help. I am very tensed.

Hello Mates & Buddies,
I am currently holding Indian Citizenship and planning to file my H1 on Indian passport.
But at this year end I am also planning to take my Australian Citizenship.
So could anyone please suggest or share his experience whether transferring H1 on totally new citizenship is possible or not ? if yes then what's the way ?
And does anyone has any experience or knowledge of E3 (Australian Work visa to USA).
Thank in advance !!!
Always,
Nirms

My wife got her F1 stamped in Mexico last week and I just noticed that her old I 94 from the time when she entered in US with her H4 is still in her passport. Is that a problem?? I remember reading some where on the forum that they are supposed to take out I 94 for the departure record...
How do I fix this?
Thanks In advance...

hi,
i have a question whether to use EAD or H1B? Initiallly i re-entered into usa after finishing my first 6yr term of H1B in June 05 on H1b. Later changed employer. New employer filed my GC using existing labor (EB3) in 2006 and also filed for i-140 & i-485 in oct 2007. so the transferred h1b is expiring on 06/2009. my ead expired in Oct 2008. I am thinking of renewing EAD than H1b which i am planning to file in this month (Feb, 2009).
questions:
1. If i go back to India in Mar 09 - Can I come back using EAD (Once its approved and someone sends my EAD & AP to India) as i haven't used EAD?
2. my transfered H1b is expiring on Jun 09 and i don't want to go to Madras to stamp the transfered company's visa on my passport as i doubt to get it - the Consulate might ask me so many questions when its expiring in june why you want to go to usa for 3 or 4 months.
3. The best bet - do i need to wait for my renewal of EAD & AP and then leave?
Please let me know as my travel plans are dependent on this.
thanks and appreciate your prompt response

I guess most July filers gave their FP in Oct 2007 so they are due for FP in Jan / Feb 2009. Will they have to fill another form then with $80 biometric fees or will it be free?

My wife had the same situation - was going to be out of town on the scheduled day. She went to the Dallas office on a Wednesday or Thursday and explained the situation to them. They said they were busy that day and said she had upto 89 (?) days to do it. They said she could walk in on any Saturday within that time frame. They also said that there was no need to reschedule. Sure enough, she went in on a Saturday 2 or 3 weeks after the scheduled date and they took her fingerprints.

Hello,
My wife and I have a pending AOS, and have our EADs.
My priority date for EB-2 is September 2004.
I plan to go back to school in Spain - starting November 2009. The program ends in December 2010. However, my EAD expires October 2010.
Is there anything I can do to keep my GC processing on track? Can I renew my EAD while I'm in Spain?
Thank you,
Sidd.

Hi,
I have my I140 approved couple of years ago and now our company is being acquired by another firm. As a result I may lose my job. I am on 5th year of H1 and have I140 copy.
I got an offer with a project from a top consulting firm who is willing to transfer my H1 and also carry forward GC.
However I am concerned, as that consulting firm has the history of cancelling the H1 once they could not find any new projects after the current project. But in current market scenario, I could find any other opportunity and it may be necessary to join that firm.
So lets say after one/two years, if I lose my job with that firm and want to carry forward my H1/GC with other company, will it be possible?
What should I ask the firm now (terms and conditions, before start working with them) to make my self in safe position later on?
Thanks for your advice.

I'm in the same boat.
Applied for 485/Ap/EAD on July 18th. Pending I140 was approved on Sep 14th. Checked online status the same day and LUD was 9/14.
After reading your post today, I checked the online status again and the LUD is 9/17.

I have an appointment for H1B visa stamp @ the toronto consulate next week. This will be my second stamp (first one expired early this year).
I received a phone call from the consulate asking for my H1B receipt/notice dates and receipt number, etc...She told me that there is new rule where USCIS has to verify the I-797 petition even though you carry an original approval notice. With this rule in effect...she told me the passport wait time is miminum of 4 days.
I already booked my tickets 2 weeks ago. I'm confused. Has anyone else received a call or have recently obtain H1B stamp in toronto?
I was hoping to come back in few days and now it's going to cost me $$$$$. I wish NVARS told me this when I signed up for the appointment.
:(:(:(
This is the new rule and went into effect from last week of Nov. It is not only for the Consulate in Toronto but all US Consular posts in Canada atleast.
