Hello,
I have read in the popular immigration forums that one can request a one time 3 year extension to H1b beyond the standard 6 year limit if one has an approved I140 and could not file I485 due to retrogression. I am confused on how does one go about requesting this..meaning is it sufficient to just put three years under the 'date of intended employment' in I129 form and have a labor condition approval with similar dates or do you have to include a copy of approved I140 and point to the 2005 Aytes memo that grants such a provision while you file for I129. By the way the situation is also a bit more complicated due to the fact that I am changing jobs (5th year H1) and trying to get a 3 year transfer based on approval from the company I am leaving.
Appreciate your inputs

Hi Friends,
I have a question, actually I worked with a for-profit company A for few years and then transferred my H1B to a not-for-profit company B last year. Now can I transfer my H1B to a for-profit company C?
Actually one of my friend told, it is not possible and I can transfer only to the not-for-profit companies as I am currently working with a not-for-profit company B. Is this true?

Hi,
I got my labor approved couple of weeks back and now attorney is filing I-140. My situation is
Job 1 : Worked from July 1st 2006 to Oct 2nd 2007 (Laid off on that date and h1b was not cancelled ever after)
so applied for h1 transfer immediately, USCIS received application on Oct 9th 2007 (Regular processing)
While I was waiting on that, I got another fulltime job in Nov, Applied for h1 through this company (Premium processing) and got approval within a week, started working from Nov 15th 2007 to till date..
In Decemeber 2007, I got approval for pending H1b from 2nd compnay too.. but never used as i was already working for Company 3.
So, In my labor requirement it was M.S. and 1 yr relevant experience, Labor approval showing employemnt history as
Job 1 : July 1 2006 to Oct 2 2007
Current Job : Nov 15th 2007 to till date
Is it a problem if it shows 1 month gap between these two jobs?
Appreciate your time

Hi,
I would like to know can i change employer after my i-140 got approved.My i-140 got approved 6 months back and i have h1 until next year
You can shift to new employer and start the GC process again. The approved I-140 is useful to retain the PD if not revoked. Otherwise no use.

Just got an email from Expedia.com - fares from Bay Area to Wash. D.C. have dropped by about $50 - the cheapest fares today (9/06/2007):
- SFO - BWI (US Airways) $208
- OAK - DCA (ATA): $218
- SJC - BWI (Continental): $218
The fares shouldn't be a reason to not participate in the rally! Hope to see more folks from CA - Norcal & SoCal.
cheers!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted”,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

Slave Labor Helped Build Capitol (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/11/07/national/w161841S52.DTL&hw=immigration&sn=014&sc=278) By SUZANNE GAMBOA | Associated Press Writer, November 7, 2007
Tours, exhibits and commemorative plaques in the Capitol should recognize the contributions of slaves in constructing Congress' home, experts told a House committee Wednesday.
Such citations would help encourage blacks to make a historical connection to the building, a congressional task force said.
Sarah Jean Davidson, founder of the Association for the Preservation of North Little Rock, Ark., African American History, said blacks and others feel the Capitol and some historic buildings belong more to whites.
"We can say our ancestors helped build the Capitol so when we look at it, it's not 'your building, the majority', it's our building," Davidson said.
"It will be a connection not just for African-Americans, but for immigrants who come from all around the country. ... Once they start feeling connected, then we are one," she said.
Congress created a task force to commemorate slaves' work on the Capitol. Panelists recommended that the history be included in guided tours, educational materials, exhibits, plaques and showcases in the Capitol Visitors Center.
The recommendations were released at a hearing of the House Administration Committee.
"We look back today not to open wounds, but to ensure that we tell the story of those slaves so their toil is never forgotten," said Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga. "We cannot allow our citizens to leave without an appreciation for the efforts of slaves who helped build our 'Temple of Freedom.'"
Financial records of the District of Columbia show that hundreds of local residents received payments for the slaves' work, said William Allen, the architectural historian of the Architect of the Capitol's office.
The ledger recorded the payments as "Negro hire," Allen said.
Many worked in quarries where they extracted the stone for the building. Others provided carpentry skills. Some slaves were stationed in pits from where, with a partner above ground, they would use a whipsaw to saw logs rolled over the pit. Slave women and children were used to mold clay in kilns, Allen said.

Conclustion: "This Court finds that the FBI owes no duty to an applicant to process his or her background check. Absent a duty to the applicant, neither the Mandamus Act nor the Administrative Procedures Act confer jurisdiction on this Court over the FBI. Without an independent basis for jurisdiction over the FBI, and since the Declaratory Judgment Act does not confer jurisdiction, this Court is without subject matter jurisdiction to review any decisions or actions of the FBI regarding its processing of a background check for CIS that is related to immigration matters."
It seems that suing FBI becomes ineffective now.

Hi Gurus,
I tried checking my I-485 status over phone. I called after hours. So it went to the automated message. Thought just to listen what the message says. It was something interesting. Thought to share with you. Do any of you have the same or similar experience?
07/02/2007 - Application Receipt Date in I-485 notice.
09/04/2007 - Application Notice Date in I-485 receipt.
08/01/2007 - Application Receipt date according to the Phone Status(Automated).:confused:
09/01/2007 - Application Receipt date according to the uscis.com website Status check.:confused:
Just curious about these variations as none of these dates are matching.:confused:

Nikon is taking their time with this one, as they're taking their time with the WT-3 transmitter for the D200. I am interested, but by now I've invested a bit too heavily in a DNG-based workflow by converting everything to DNG and attaching IPTC metadata, to consider Capture NX as a serious contender for my workflow. Though, I do imagine that I'd use it for those rare times when I need a really high quality conversion for very large printing.
