I am July 23rd concurent Filer (Texas service Center), day before yesterday received FP notice but no other reciepts. wrote email to Lawyer to update.
Guys, According to following URL, it seems that all july filers should get the RN by now irrespective of the processing centers. I am 24th July filer but still did not get the RNs so far. Are other ppl also in same boat? Please let me know. I am worried now.

Hi thank you again, yes i understand that visa stamp is only needed for overseas travelling purpose. You raise a good point though when you said you assume i got h1 approved with i-94 attahced. This brings me to a scenario that just happened a few months back. I applied for extension h1b and h4 and we received notification that it has been approved and the approval sent to the attorney. But the attorney has disappeared. My wifes h4 approval was returned back to uscis and mine is not known where it is. we called uscis and they said we have to apply a duplicate i-824 individually to get the approval sent back to us again. i have therefore submitted i-824 application for my wife already. and i am submitting mine this week. all we have right now is h4 receipt for my wife and a copy of the approval for h1b for me (without i-94) that usually goes to the peititoner. What do you think about this?
Oh well, since the employer H1 approval copy does not have an attached I-94, we cannot conclude anything. File a I-824 for your H1 first, I believe your employer needs to file the I-824 for H1.....For H-4, you can do it yourself since its a personal petition....Then have your employer or employer's attorney contact USCIS and enquire whether your Extension of Status was approved as well (meaning H1 approval had an attached I-94). If thats not possible, you will have to wait till your I-824s are processed and you get new copies of the approvals to check if they have attached I-94s.

Looks like you are in a rush .. You filed your labor in 2007 and expect to get a GC before a guy who is waiting in EB3 from 2002 0r 2003 ?
There is nothing wrong in converting from EB3 to EB2 , if you are qualified . How long you are going to wait in EB3 ?
By the way I m Eb2 2006.
Were you qualified to file EB2 on the date your EB3 LC was filed? This is preposterous and i agree with earlier postings that EB3---> EB2 conversion should not be allowed. If you want eB2--then you should get a later priority date when u indeed became eligible for EB2.

I think, you should check with an Immigration Attorney before you risk your wife�s multiple entry Visitor Visa.
My take:
AFAIK, staying beyond the I-94 expiration date will abandon her Visitor Visa, and she could be denied entry next time.
In your wife�s case, you have applied for a change-of-status, however a decision has not yet been made, so she should leave the country before the I-94 expiration date and come back later after the F1 is approved. But, leaving the country while the change-of-status application is pending might cancel the change-of-status application, and not the underlying F1 application. So, your wife may have to get a F1 visa stamping abroad to come back later.
The above said information is purely based on my knowledge and may vary from an Attorney�s view.
Good Luck!

Your situation is complicated.
There is a 240 days rule to stop working, if H1B is pending for an approval.
It is for working with the same employer. Transfer may be diffrent.
But since it is a premium process, and your I-94 is expired, you need to be very careful.
You are now out of staus, I fear.
So rush to a good lawyer and contact USCIS.

Hello,
My wife is out of the country right now and planning to return in 3 weeks. She left the country with both copies (we only received 2 copies) of AP that is valid until Sept 10th 2009. Unfortunately we don't have a photocopy of the AP document and she has misplaced the two copies she took along with her. How do we approach this situation. The doc's we do have handy are:
1- Original 485 Receipt Notice
2- Original AP filing Receipt Notice
3- Copy of AP approved screen from uscic. gov
4- Original previous AP
5- AP was issued by MSC
Any advice?
Your wife may be able to get a transportation letter/returning resident visa from her US consulate. These are usually given to people who have lost their green cards while overseas, but I have heard of consulates giving them to people with lost APs. It's worth asking. Good luck.

For the benefit of people (like me ) who filed 2 sets of I-485s on same underlying I-140, during the July 07 fiasco, I am posting this info.
My July 2/07 filing got approved, I and my family got LPR cards on 8/8/8.
My other I-485 is still on with Last UD on 4/9/08 I did not get a FP notice on this, but my son and wife did FP on 1/2/08 and had LUD. I think USCIS will send a denial notice soon on these.
I also did e-filing for EAD renewal in mid July 08, did FP on 8/5/08, with a LUD on 8/8/08, the day we received out plastic GCs in mail.Again expect denial soon as I have GC now.
Any way I am not withdrawing these apllications myself,to avoid any confusion.
Fortunately I did not get RFEs, no "administrative process", as some one suggested, nor it did cause my case to be delayed specifically due to this duplicate application.
I did not want to lose the 1 month window opportunity that I got to get my AOS underway after waiting from 9/30/05,the last day when EB2 was current for me, and my PERM was found certified that morning at 10.00M.Eventhough I sent the whole package of 140/145 by day samedayFedEX, it reached VSC after office hours.VSC refused to accept my package and returned it back stating, PD not current on 10/3/05.
My next chance came almost 2 years later and the the July VB fiasco, Initial reports were that NSC was sending all the July2 back, so when I did not receive the package nor the I-797 until 8/16/07, I filed the second 485s.
Eventhough I had done stop payment on my checks and had asked" Do not Open in mail room" + plea to disregard the duplicate filing if my first filing was already accepted, with bold Multicolored lettering, the mail room clerks did not pay attention, went ahead and accepted my filing. When these checks were not cashed, USCIS sent collection notice from Debt management dept, I had to pay whether or this application was accepted or not. So I lost the filing fee and the penalty about $1200.00
I hope it will be ok for all the people who did like me. I wish all of you the best and early approvals

Lets not get over board with excitment. Over doing it might be considered as harassment. Besides we have achieved the main goal of the campaign. Lets focus our resources to the rally. I think media attention thru flower campaign, rally and lawsuit are excellent strategies in increasing order of intensity to push for our cause. I'm glad you are excited to take this a step further, but lets focus our energy in the right direction!:)

Thank you very much for your response. Yes we have received a 3yr extension (approval notice). in that case, I am assuming that we would have to go to the US embassy overseas to get H1B and H4 stamped on the passport opon returning back to the usa?
Yes, you will have to go to the US embassy for Visa stamping and use it to re-enter US whenever you travel overseas the next time. Btw, I am assuming you got your H1 extension approval with a I-94 attached. If not, you will have to leave the US immediately and get a visa stamp and re-enter on H1 in order to maintain a valid H1 status and continue to work legally. If you got an I-94 attached with H1 extension approval, then you can continue to stay/work in US as long as your H1 extension is valid. You don't need a VISA stamp unless you travel overseas.

I am not well aware of what is to be done. But isn't it a good idea to mail USCIS explaining the situation and possible extension you may need. This keeps USCIS informed about your situation in advance.

However, EAWA does not apply to H-1B petitions seeking to change the status of a beneficiary already working for the employer in another work-authorised category. It also does not apply to H-1B petitions seeking an extension of stay for a current employee with the same employer.
This actually clears alot of doubts people had regarding the whole extension/COS question.

Can someone here on this forum list down all the documents that are required to file 140 and 485. Or if this has been discussed in a thread can you please point me to the right forum?
Are you sure you want to do it on your own? If it was that easy, everybody would do it. Considering all the potential pitfalls, it just puzzles me why somebody would go for such a process on their own.
What are you trying to achieve? Save some bucks or show that you are smarter than other people? Even to save a lot of bucks, I don't see how I would do it without a reputed attorney.
Yes they are expensive, but there is a good reason for it: you are buying their expertise. Don't you think that it is worth it?
Anyway, that's just me...Good luck to you.

Hello All,
Had a qstn. Is it good enough to take just the offer letter from the current co and latest paystub to the consulate in Chennai to stamp H1B ? Its for a friend of mine and he is a first time H1B applicant. Problem is if he puts in a req to the HR for exp letter they will ask him a reason and the reason will be printed on top of the letter, and obviously he cant ask for a letter to US consulate for H1B since they will come to know he has intentions to leave.
I am sure a lot of people would have been in similar situation. Did not find any other thread that discussed this issue, so in case there is one please point it out to me otherwise any suggestions would eb welcome.
Thanks,
ampudhukode
