Hi,
I had applied for my H1 extension in June 2008 and waited for some time and then upgraded it to premium processing in July. I did not get any result on my H1 extension but in the meantime my GC was approved in August. My question is will i be able to get my H1 processing fee back, at least the premium processing fee. I heard if your H1 processing doesn't get any result in certain time you will be entitled to get your money back.
Thanks in advance
If you have not received any RFE or NOID or DENIAL or APPROVAL with in 15 calendar day of your PP upgrade then you are entitled to receive the PP fee by USCIS policy. One catch though, not sure whether it will be applicable if your GC was approved with in 15 calendar days of PP upgrade - just throwing one exception. You will never know what is in fine printing :)

It is always good to maintain L1A status. I think best way to apply your L1A extention under premium & family under normal. I think premium fee is only for primary application & not dependent. If anything goes wrong with I140, you will be ground zero on status. In that case, You may have to leave the country immediately.

The only thing I notice is a little orage that looks unusual on the tip of the rear ducks beak. If that's not it, I don't see anything.
No, it's just the lower centimeter or so of the picture, below the beak, that I've created by cloning, the rest is as captured.
And, uh, swans, by the way. ;)

It depends on the I-140 you requested USCIS to consider while you aplied for I-485. There is some process called interifling, where you can later request USCIS to use the I-140 with better priority date against the I-485 so you can avoid multiple I-485.

Hello all,
I need a clarification about the I-94 thing.
As I have mentioned previously, my husband got a 3 year extension on his H-1 ( I 140 approval ) till 08/2009 and he went to canada for stamping since we are planning to leave for India. He drove to canada and the officers at the border while entering into canada did not take his old I 94( expired 08/2006) which was on his older passport ( expired 04/2006). While on his way back to US, they stapled the lower part of his I-797 dated till 08/2009 to his new passport (current one) and stamped on the passport. But they did not put any date on the stamp where it shows'dated till'.
We are leaving for India tomorrow and have a couple of questions in this regard:
1. Is it okay to have two I 94's in the two different passpots? Has it happened to anyone who drove to canada that their older I 94 has not been taken?
2. While departing to India, which I-94 will be taken? the expired one on the older passport or the new one in the new passport. If the new one has to be taken, as it is a part of the original I-797 form, should it be surrendered to them?
We really appreciate your answers. Since we are travelling tomorrow, we are really concerned about this issue.
Thank you very much in advance.

Do not submit your I-94 at the canadian border. Just say you intend to come back within 30 days. If you go by road no one will ask you for it either. On the way back show all you documents.
One important thing. Take all your previous H1b's with you. Take you entire petition papers with you as well. Take your original H1B with the I-94 attached. If your spouse is going with it take all her / his previous papes as well , including the H4 and previous H1 if any. My wife was asked for her previous H1b as well since her last stamp on passport was H4. You should be fine . I have done it and found the procedure very smooth. By road try to take the busy route like the one going through Niagara as they are very well aware of the rule.

service requests taking up to 60 days now and processing times 60 days behind published figures.
About 45 days ago I raised a service because my receipt date was more than 60 days older than the Nebraska service center processing date. At 30 days after raising the service request I called and asked what's happening, they said wait until 45 days, at 45 days I called and asked what's happening, they said wait until 60 days.
The IO told me that they are way behind with the service requests, and it is taking 45 to 60 days to answer. Indeed they are hardly able to answer service requests.
I also asked her to hazard a guess about when my case (receipt date 4 May 2007 current with VB) might get adjudicated, she said by 30 April - they have a target to clear older petitions by 30 April. She said that they are about 60 days behind their published processing dates.
My reasoning for this -- potentially this is because of EB3 moving forward in the visa bulletin and 180 day name check rule -- it effectively moves the processing dates backwards since they are not pre-adjudicating, but they didn't want to move the reported processing times back.
She was also able to tell me that my name check was passed and confirmed that receipt date is what counts not notice date (unlike IO I previously spoke with). Something I knew but wanted to hear from them too.
So summary:
Service requests -- may take 60+ days to answer (maybe they'll say 90 days when I call at 60 days).
Real processing times are about 60+ days behind published (at least for Nebraska).
Of course since you can raise a service request when receipt date is > 60 days behind processing date, they are encouraging raising of service requests which they are now swamped with.

Your situation isn't too tough.
Yes you will need a new F1 visa to re-enter. Nobody knows your chances of rejection, just take all the docs and hope for the best.
If your F1 gets rejected then you can come back on valid H4 - I don't think they will cancel other valid visas. However once you are back here you'll have to again apply for a COS to
F1

04/29/2007: Need for Networking of Immigrants to Support Immigration Reform Legislation
When it comes to the community organizing and support activities for the comprehensive immigration reform legislation, there are hundreds of organizations that organize, network, and mobilize the immigrants in support of the issues involving the difficult issues of legalization of illegal aliens. However, the same is not true with the employment-based immigration reform issues. The lobbying and organizing and support of these issues rely heavily on the employers, businesses, and academic institutions such as competeamerica. Without doubt, the employers should be the most effective and powerful groups to pressure the Congress, President, and other players in the political process.
However, it is time that the immigrants themselves also participate in a similar effort to share information, issues, and supporting activities. Obviously, the first move is to organize and build a network throuhout the nation and the world, and along with the networking, other support activities must be conducted and expanded. There are not too many immigrant groups that are focused on the employment-based immigration reform issues. Currently, a website of www.immigrationvoice.org is launching this campaign and attempting to organize and network in the employment-based immigrant communities. This reporter urges the foreign professional workers to visit and join this group to help an activities of side-kick from the standpoint of stakeholder foreign workers in support of the employers and their support groups. "Networking" will create a power in the political process.

I have received my green card 5 months ago and still working for the same GC filing employer(a consulting company). My wife had an RFE on her GC, since she could not take MMR at 2007 fiasco time. We have recently replied with the evidence. Now my project is getting over at the client site in next couple of weeks. I am sure that I can lose my job at consulting company also.
My question is, what happens to wife's GC? What if there is another RFE and how can I reply it?
Please let me know my options.
