We need people from the various congressional districts from MA, NH, VT, ME and RI to get in touch with us. This is in order to talk to the congressmen \ congresswomen and make them aware of our issues. We need to make them understand.

When I went to my county health dept to get vaccination shots (for medical exam), they asked me to see the civil surgeon first, "else you will pay lot more for shots that you do not need". I gave them the standard list (MMR, Polio, DTaP, Influenza type B, Hepatitis B), and there are a few more in (page 3 of) I-693 form (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-693.pdf). Someone on this thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5553) (second-last post) says you may need a shorter list based on your age group. Did anyone recently take these shots, and can she/he give the correct list here?
Thanks.
Thanks.

If that is the case, why don't you opt for 1 and not go for stamping? Indeed you don't need to if you are planning to use AP.

1. Can a new employer apply for H1B extension based on my I-140 approval even though I am not in USA.? My I-140 has not been revoked or cancelled.
Yes, this should be possible assuming your priority date is still backlogged. If not, you can at least get the unused part of your 6 years.
2.Can I claim the remaining time on my H1B approval(based on I-140) with company XYZ ? I have copy of the H1B approval but not sure if it has been revoked.
I think I just answered this above.

Hello All:
We got our FP done yesterday at the Atlanta ASC and thought I would share the experience and procedures incase anyone was interested or looking for this info.
Received FP notice on 3/5/08 for FP appointment on 3/19/08 11:00am at 1255 Collier Road, Atlanta, GA 30318.
We reached the ASC on time. At the door the security guard checks the FP notice and verifies your identity with either a Passport, GC or DL. We only showed our DL and it was fine. NO BAGS and NO CELLPHONES allowed. Was asked to leave my wife's bag in the car. Also, they will not allow ANYONE except the person with appointment in the office. I saw spouses who didnt have appointment waiting outside.
You then go into the office (which is basically a BIG room) with seats and fingerprint stations and the FP notice and ID was checked again and given a form to fill out. Simple form, nothing different. All the information needed on the form (A#, Receipt No.) is on your FP notice. You fill out the form, return it and get a ticket to wait in line. The receptionist also Stamped the FP Notice at this point. We saw approx 80 people all with the same appointment time.
When your number is called or shows up on the counter, they look at your documents again and took us to a FP station. FP Notice was scanned in and was asked to verify the spelling of my name and Address. Then they took FP of all 10 fingers, then again of Index Finger (both hands) and the again of both Thumbs. He saw the FP on the monitor and retook some of the FP again. After that, Picture was taken. The FP Technician then signed the FP notice on the stamp given earlier.
The entire process from before entering to exiting took about 1.5 hours. I would recommend you take a book or magazine to pass some time.
Sorry for the long post but just thought someone might be looking for this information. I am not aware if any of this information for the other centers.
Then when you no., is called.

if you have copy of I-140 , it contains 13 digit receipt number (SRC, WAC etc..).
Enter the number in USCIS case status to find out the latest update on the I-140 file @ https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard.do

I am getting ready to n-470 to preserve residency. My company is sending me to UAE for one week period which will leads to other long back and forth trips there. I need to file n-470 to preserve residency for naturalization. I have already lived here for more than one year as a permanent resident. My questions are:
1. Where do I find a sample communication letter as a support document?
2. What do I write in it?
Thank you in advance.
rubbing salt on wounds....good job. People are waiting from 2002 for Green Card and you're asking naturalization issues.

Follow "Direct Filing" instruction by USCIS effective July 30th 2007. Did googling for "Direct filing I-765", you will get the answer. Thanks
All,
I have a question about Mailing my renewal petitions. I have talked to Texas SC few times. I got different answers each time. It appears that they all need job training.
Here is my scenario:
Originally my 485 was filed with NSC and then it was transferred to TSC. So my 485 is pending in TSC right now. Where should I mail my renewal applications?. I live in Colorado. There are 2 different views on this. Some people say that I have to send my applications to whereever my 485 is pending. Some people say that I have to mail it to NSC.
Any thoughts?/
Thanks

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is promising immigration will be one of three major legislative priorities this year (the other two are health care reform and energy). It's not news that Senator Reid wants to push for reform this year, but it is the first time I've seen him be this specific on where immigration reform ranks on the priorities list.

I will appreciate input/s regarding folloiwng:
Here are the details:
Working with an employer since 2001, EB 3 PD Dec 2003, EAD in 2007, Still on H1b until Nov 10. Though have two masters (both rec'd prior to 2003) i had filed under EB 3 (no one to balim it was just me...was not proactive enough/not enough guidence from the lawyer)
With the same employer, i have rec'd EB 2 approval, want to file I 140 and port EB 3 PD.
Need help/input with folloiwng from the gurus:
1) in EB 3 application the title is "Construction Engineer" with 4 lines of scope of work clarification with bachelors degree in civil engg. and no experience requirement. In EB 2 application, we have used same title "Construction Engineer" with 4 lines of scope of work, we had left 2 lines common (as earlier in EB3 application) and 2 new lines (related to environmental engg. since i have two env. engg. masters with BE in civil engg.)......this ad asked for MS in env. engg. or similar degree with no experience requirement.
Question: EB 2 Labor is approved, i am not sure what they check with i 140 application but does above sound reasonable (not that anything can be changed...but asking for an opinion here).
2) With premium processing, how long it takes to get I140 approved?
3) Do we just file for I 140 for EB 2 first, get it approved and then file letter/application ( i don't know the procedure/protocol) asking to port PD OR do we need file some sort of paper work with I140 to port PD.
4) How long it takes to get case approved (I485) after i140 is approved?
Again, appreciated your help and Thank you in advance.

Greeting everybody: I have been working for the same Company since 2002 first J1 then 6 years of H1-B expiring on July of this year (2009). Currently my employer is going thru the process for a Green Card with our Legal Firm and they proposed me an E Visa while the Green Card approval process is work in progress (I passed the DOL approval and I'm in the middle of the recruiting phase). I'd like to get a third party opinion if I can be granted a Green Card switching from H1-B to E Visa.
Anyone familiar with this matter?

Thanks Dixie. I think I will talk to my lawyer.
I guess I will have to apply for I-140 again, right?

Since EB-1 does not need labor certification, the process is completely independent of EB-2. As such you cannot "port" your EB-2 application the way people transition from EB-3 to EB-2. You will have to apply directly to USCIS with evidence of your "extraordinary ability" in your field, such as honorable membership of professional bodies, research track record, letters from well-known people in your field etc. The first stepto convince USCIS about exceptional ability is very involved, but there on I-140 and I-485 should proceed far more smoothly than EB-2.

I dont think that holds true. If you follow you'll see they have been approving cases even in December for 2003 when the PD has been retrogressed to 2002 for December.
