My first term on H1 expired on June 2002. I revalidated it and the second term also got expired as of June 2004. Since I was in US only for 3 years on that H1, is it possible to revalidate it again now, even I'm not working for company A now? Company A can file for revalidation for recapturing the remaining time on H1 but you may to work with them once the H1B's gets approved..

Has anyone managed to withdraw money from TCS PF from Mumbai India?
If so, pls advise on the procedure for the same?
Thanks,
No forms would work because like a typical family owned blood sucker company, their PF is controlled by another TATA company and not the central govt. AND to get your hard earned money out of that another company, you need a clearance letter signed by some TCS HR personnel ..
You could see if the amount is worth going through the agony of talking to all BS..ing top brass in the company.. If it is, then make your heart of steel and go through it..
they would keep some money as their tip.. (maybe 20%) but give the remaining back to you..

DISCLAIMER:
I'm not a lawyer. Disclaimer mentioned by IV and its members holds good for me too. The information provided below is of a general nature and may not apply to any particular set of facts or to all circumstances and not be construed as legal advice. You should not rely solely upon information here and You should consult an attorney of your choosing to obtain advice for your particular situation. Laws and regulations are constantly changing.
Please read and discuss this issue and see whether we can include as our goals:
I know the existing IV goals should be our top priority and we shouldnt lose our focus but we should work simultaneously to get other reliefs to make our life better. Eventhough retrogression is main issue as of now, people are affected by visa revalidation issues (visa stamping), name check issues, etc. So I collected all the major issues I read and mentioned below to discuss with you all.
These broader goals will save us lot of time/money that we spent on renewals of visa/postage etc. and inturn attracts more membership registration/contribution/publicity/broader support from all groups/nationals/associations/attroneys etc to IV group. So please read this and see whether how much feasible it is (or) suggest some possible solutions to IV who can request our lawmakers to solve or ease our problems.
Goals to request USCIS/Lawmakers to get relief for the following problems:
1. Can we request to allow filing of our I-485 even if the priority dates are nt current and can avail EAD/AP benefits? Can we request to give us 3 years EAD/AP if I-485 is pending or filed recently (average renewal cost is 350$ PER PERSON FOR A YEAR for EAD+AP, so add for each dependent-that too now people are doing 4th time extension because of retrogression even if they didnt use EAD/AP or not)? Also can we request them to implement immediate relief package to ease retrogression problems and then to solve this issue permanently? (Note: I know IV working on this one issue)
2. Can we request, for EAD/AP/H1, dependents applications should be approved simultaneously along with principal applicants even though they are filed separately? (May be they can bring one application form for principal+dependents).
3. Can we request them to bring e-filing for all forms before Oct 2007 (including visa, gc forms) and we can submit scanned supporting documents using attachments to reduce paperwork and to avoid postage problems (lost/delay)? (But e-filing should automatically generate immediate Notice Numbers/Notice Date/Received Date once we submit--this is to avoid waiting for receipt numbers).
4. Can we request them to fix the maximum approval times for visas and for EAD/AP/Labor/I-140, say 3 mths maximum for first time applicants, a month for renewals or extensions, and (within) 15 days for premium processing?
5. Can we request them to implement revalidation again in US, may be to do fingerprint for revalidation, may be we can goto nearest USCIS local office in our city/state with reqd documents/Passport (same as for GC process) and they can take fingerprint and after verification they can send passport with visa stamping?
6. Can we request them that emergency appointment dates should be immediate not 6 months later and should be applicable for any major life event including marriage too (not only for death or medical reasons, this might help people nt to postpone their marriage based on visa availability dates)?
7. Can we request them to bring dropbox again (if revalidation done outside US) for visa extensions in same category or for dependents or for parents (older than 60yrs) (also fingerprinting can be done while dropping the documents)? (for newer case like H1/F1 they can have interview)
8. Can we request them for a new premium revalidation processing option at extra charge (because emergency appointment is not available for work related emergencies even though it is mentioned)?
9. Can we request them that Name check/Finger Printing Check should be verified and cleared within 90 days (maximum) for GC? for visa revalidation (not for new): we can request them to be verified and cleared within 1-3 days maximum because they can do the actual check during visa processing itself i.e. while approving I-797 or whatever?
10. Can we request them to bring a new premium processing for name/fingerprinting check up for extra fee? Also request to view fingerprinting status and history online? Can we request them to consider whether people can get security clearance certificate in advance for Visa/GC (to reduce processing time)?
11. Can we request them to allow dependents (spouse, children) of principal applicants to get SSN/driving license, also request to allow dependents to work except restricted areas (for job in some areas requires citizenship or GC) and also request to allow dependents to get financial aid/assistance too while studying?
12. can we request them to improve USCIS customer support (including FBI for fingerprinting) OR to provide 24x7 Customer support (to avoid waiting on hold for 1hr during peak hrs).
13. not sure, how it is now, can we request that H4 visa period shouldnt be counted against H1 visa period?
14. can we request them to allow our parents (who wants to visit in tourist visa) shouldnt be rejected if all documents provided? also request them to give mandatory 10yrs multiple entry visas should be given to both, if atleast one of the parents is older than 60yrs?
15. can we request premium processing should be less than 1000$ either it should be double or triple times the regular fee (for e.g. it shouldnt be 1000$ if regular application fee is 175$, can be 350$ or 500$ which is reasonable)
17. Can we request them to allow anyone to transfer from one visa to another visa category within US?
18. Backlog Elimination Funding: Can we request lawmakers to increase atleast 2-5% funding of previous budget of USCIS to upgrade technology, hire more manpower, customer service, training employees, userfriendly website inorder to eliminate backlog and to expeditate processing time for existing applications?
Please discuss these things and make reasonable things as our future goals even if nt top priority. Thanks!!!!

The AOS (485) is based on the I-140 approved for the beneficiary listed in the I-140 and not the labor. Besides, the DOL is not really concerned about EB2 or EB3 category. The DOL asks for the alien information just to verify that the job ad is not tailored to meet the alien's qualifications. EB2, EB3, etc are categories under the INA which become applicable only once the I0140 is filed. In a nutshell, your friend should have consulted another attorney before the I-140 was filed under EB3. It is not possible to change the 485 filing to EB2 based on the labor because the immediately preceding step to filing 485 is the I-140 which governs.

No, no maximum. You just have to have had the AP in hand when you left the US.

Get a non-availability certificate from the local municipal office and submit it to USCIS..on a safer side..
HTH,
Or get the birth cert from Indian Embassy in US... They'll issue it based on her passport..
takes about 2-4 weeks... unless you can go and get it personally...

I had sent my 485 app to Nebraska. However, the receipt number starts with WAC.
Should I send the EAD renewal to NSC or CSC??
Please let me know.
RN starting from WAC. But I filled EAD in NSC. Also have RN for EAD. It does not matter. You have to file EAD based on state you live. Because of July fiasco they had sent 485 cases everywhere so those RNs are from all over.
But for EAD it does not matter where 485 was filed only thing that matters in where you live.

I agree 100%
In simple words..
Trying to game the internal processing of USCIS case handling is like trying to guess the weather based on daily horoscope... ! No way attorney can know that.. only reason they probably want to wait is some ulterior motive such as company trying to hold onto the employee or attorny looking for extra fees.. absent that.. I would be worried coz then that would mean attorny is incompetent and does not know which end is up..
Here's what we do know
I485 filing provides MAJOR benefits.
140 processing can go on for year or so and meanwhile a lot can change in terms of Priority dates etc.
485 filing does not begin 485 processing if 140 is pending.. that's in USCIS memos.. only same office will handle 485 so in fact it is better! coz once you get past 140.. you are home free.. as opposed to other cases where 140 evidence is being re-checked at the time of 485 approval..
So GO AHEAD file concurrently..

I know that it is possible to apply for H1-B visa and enter after using EAD. But, I am little dubious about using old visa after using EAD, but it should not make much of a difference I think.
In any case, you should be prepared to field questions at the POE for your actions otherwise he may ask you to use AP instead.
By the way, this is the only way one can re-instate their H1-B status after using EAD.
Coming back on H-1B after using EAD
=========================
Is it possible ? if yes then how ?
Is there any risk in this ?
Thanks for all who reads and reply..

Last week I had the unfortunate experience of being "let go". This is my current situation:
EB-2 India PD July 2008
I-140 approved in April 2009
Currently on 7th year of my H1-B which is valid till May 2013.
Now the question I have is, if I were to transfer my H1-B visa to some other company (non consulting fulltime role), will I get an additional 3 years extension, i.e., till Oct 2013 or will it be only till May 2013?
Greatly appreciate any thoughts here. Thanks!

Hello Attorney,
My wife received a RFE on her I-485 for missing medical test (TB test).
The deadline for responding to RFE is May 9th. She is out of the country currently and is scheduled to return on June 3rd.
Can we request an extension of time to reply to RFE based on hardship?
We just need one more month to comply with RFE.
Does USCIS normally provide extension for situations like the one above?
I took an infopass appointmnet at Baltimore and they couldn't offer a concrete answer since the case is pending with TSC. They asked me to reply to RFE asking for extension and provide supporting documents. I'm not sure if that would be accepted and results in denial of I-485.
Thanks in advance,
GCisaDawg
Can you not ask your wife to fly back early? Is there a genuine hardship.
When we had our fingerprint appointment and my wife was out of town, the attorneys said it is better not to reschedule. So she flew in before the appointment just to get the fingerprints done on time.
