First thing is you need to renew your passport.
Old passport will be given back.
Also if your passport is not having more than 6 months validity, US Consulate may not stamp your visa and also there could be problem with your travel. (This is my opinion)

Hello All,
I am in a very sticky situation, my labor is pending @ PBEC with priority date of Jan'2004, which is Non-RIR and filed under EB3 category, based on which I have been getting incremental extensions of H1B (I am already in my 9th year by now). At present I am in the process of changing my filing type to RIR from TR and I was hoping to change the category too from EB3 to EB2, but my employers did not support me since they cannot pay the prevailing wage. I know I can still switch jobs, provided I transfer my H1B (which is valid till Jan�2008) and the new company files my GC immediately, so my questions to fellow victims of PBEC is
� How can I retain my old priority date?,
� Does the job descriptions filed with old labor have to match with job descriptions filed in PERM?
� It will be very tough, since I have almost 12+ yrs of exp in the industry, but my present employer is taking advantage of my situation and he is paying me peanuts, just because he does not want to pay me more, they have filed the papers as EB3. So while filing labor under EB2, can I still maintain my old priority date.
Please guys/gals help me out, I am not sure what to do, since I have already spent almost 3K$ on my GC and If I will be stuck with my employer at such low salary after my labor & I140 gets approved because of the retrogression it will be disaster. So I was thinking it would be better to be stuck with employer, who at least pays me decently and if I can retain my old dates it will awesome.
Regards,
CJG

Thanks Chantu
Thats ok even if she doesn't have AP. That is perfectly fine. Don't worry her H4 is already stamped and she has time till next year. She is totally safe even if she does not have AP.

May be they should take some load off TSC and pre-adjudicate the remaining 485 applications.

You will apply at the local SSA (Social Security Administration) office and not at USCIS. Your card will be mailed to you within 15 days in most states.
Please forgive my ignorance Gurus but I want to know when EAD is approved, how would one receive a SSN? Does that need to applied separately at the local USCIS office? If yes, then as per my understanding this would mean a further delay before one can start work, since it takes time to receive a SSN.
Correct me if I am wrong.
I am referring a common scenario for all H4 visa holders who do not have a SSN.
Please share some knowledge on this.

Hey gaurav - I double checked with a few colleagues, and this is a WPF issue. Unfortunately, there isn't a good workaround at this time. My only suggestion would be to not use those abnormally wide fonts at large text sizes :P

USCIS had been given strict guidelines to process all cases within a six month timeframe depending on the type of the case. But many cases have come to light which are not seeing the light of the day.
How about filing our taxes on April 16, but not on April 15.
What is the relationship between the above two? You will get your return back if its postmarked past the deadline.

If I were you I would just get a new exam done and submit it. Also, you should explain that you DID submit it in the first place and send the sealed envelope again. What do you have to lose if you send 2 medicals? Hanging on to the sealed one you have does not gain anything.
About envelope being huge? Well, no regulation says that you cannot send any envelope greater than 11x17. That would be just plain stupid if they rejected because of envelope size, and I seriously doubt they would do that. Thinking about it, it would be funny to see someone chest xray pop out of an 11x17 envelope :)

you did not see eb3 approvals because there were none. that simple.
Hi,
I do not see any EB3 alone approvals (with no porting). Can people please update here if there are any EB3 485 Approvals so that we can get some pattern out of it.
Appreicate your response EB3 guys..

I know we are pouring our ideas in different threads including one who supports our cause like name/news of senators/rep with grades, companies (employers), univ, associations, news reporters, talk show host, media, etc.
So I thought of creating this thread just to compile list of one who support the bill (or) one who we can convince our cause to support us, etc. This will definetly help the IV core team.
I know IV core team is aware of (or working with) most of the supporters, but still each new addition counts to our success.
for e.g., I read an article few days ago "1986 bill authors make a final push" in IV news article thread (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/14/AR2006091401179.html) which talks about the opinion of "1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act - IRCA, or the Simpson-Mazzoli bill" authors Romano L. Mazzoli (was a Democratic representative from Kentucky) and Alan K. Simpson (was a Republican senator from Wyoming.)
after reading this, today I thought, might be an idea to contact these former senators, who can voice our genuine legal immigration concerns. Definitely they will have friends in capitol hill on both parties who will listen to them and also people are talking more often about them now than ever. this will help us in great deal. IV core team: please contact these former senators and pitch for the immigration reforms.
so please come up with the list of people or organisation, etc....whom you can think will help our cause in this thread.

Hi,
I'm trying to schedule my visa stamping date in aug /sept time frame in India. In delhi consulate when I click on Indian resident I see the available dates but when I click on Indian citizen residing in US, I see no availability. I'm not sure which option should I choose. I'm a student working on OPT in US. My OPT will expire on Aug 4th and so I will come to India. I'm not sure which of the two options I have to choose while scheduling an interview :
Resident of India/Bhutan
OR
Indian Citizen residing in United States.
I would really appreciate any help in this matter.
Thanks,
Ashish

I think you are talking about labor certification, but how about I-140
I-140 is specific to PERM labor to the location. If the employer do not apply I-140 within 180 of PERM labor approval that PERM labor will expire.

Dear IVians,
Thanks for your response!
Information referred to was very neat. Pretty much I have decided to not send original passports BUT instead notarized copies.
It was a good call indeed!
It is ironic that our embassy/consulate is not quite upto our expectations.
Things don't change as quickly.
This info. was very crucial. Thanks again.
