Hello All,
My company filed for my H1-B extension and I have already received the Notice Of Action (Receipt) with "Received date: October 21, 2008" and "Notice Date: October 24, 2008." My case is in Vermont Center. However when I do the case search on USCIS.gov site, it says:
"Your case can not be found at this time in Case Status Online. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, you can either call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283, or you can send an e-mail to uscis.webmaster@dhs.gov."
I did not type my EAC number incorrectly. I did try to call the above number, which happens to be the national center's number. However it goes in loops and loops but I was not able to speak to a Customer Service representative...I tried almost all applicable options.
Is there a way i can call the Vermont Service directly. If so could anyone please list that number. I would really appreciate any kind of help and suggestions regarding this.
Thank you in Advance.

Greetings everyone.
I ran into these forums few days ago and realized what I have been missing for the past few years :-). Anyway, my GC priority date is Nov 2005 under EB2 (India). I am very GC-illiterate in the sense that after actively tracking and monitoring it for a year or so after filing for labor, I kind of gave up on the fact that I was going to get GC anytime soon and moved on. Except for replying to lawyer's emails whenever I get them, I didn't really monitor anything else. Anyway, here is some additional information -
1) I applied along with everyone else in July 2007 for I-485 and got my EAD.
2) I went for VISA stamping in Hyderabad in Nov 2009 and got 221(g) (I had all the documents but you know how 221(g)s were given out at Hyd like M&Ms at that time) and upon lawyer's recommendation entered the country through AP.
3) A part of my company was recently acquired by a different very large MNC and I chose to remain in the other half which wasn't acquired and we chose to do business as (DBA) as a different company. Lawyer said she took care of it on the GC app - I am guessing she filed for AC-21.
4) I currently applied for a EAD (current one expires in couple of months) and AP.
Long story short, my app status currently shows, "post-decision activity" -->Does it mean they already took the decision? Is there a chance something could go wrong in the next few weeks? I called the lawyer's office yesterday and they said I should hear from them in the first week of August and if the app status doesn't change, they will open a SR on my behalf around Aug 10th...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!

This date is very important and you do not want to enter the wrong date.
I-94 dates are available on the I-797 reciept as well as if one enters the country via air. The latest I-94 that the applicant gets is the one that is valid.
For example, you applied for H1 and got an approved I-797 reciept. Then you went to India and got your visa stamped in your passport and you then came back to the US, and at the port of Entry you filled up a New I-94 form (white card). Then this white card takes precedence over your I-797 notice, since this was the last one obtained. Legally you are permitted to stay in the country till the expiry dateon this white I-94 card.
The later assume if you went in for your H1B extension and then recieved a new I-797 approval with a I-94 stub attached at the bottom (green I-94). Then since this green stub is the latest I-94 you have recieved , you are permitted to stay in the country legally till the expiry date on the green stub.
In case this is just your first I-94, and you haven't gone out of the country yet for any stamping of the visa on your passport, then the green stub I-94 on your I-797 is the one you ought to be referring to.
But once again, please consult your lawyer about this, as there can be various interpratations and you must understand all aspects of it.

Guys,
I just created a search engine (http://immisearch.blogspot.com/) to help all people looking for a better way to search topics around immigration related activites. The search engine came as a result of my countless hours that I spent searching to answers around the web.
Try searching for any information with h1b, h4, Green Card, I-485, I140, citizenship etc, and the engine should give you a better result.
Leave a comment at the blog and let me know what else could be improved.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I was also thinking to go for H1 as I don't have to renew EAD every year.
My wife has worked on a project and got some money on 1099. and as I said earlier that she has taken SSN based upon her EAD.
Does it mean that she has started using EAD ?
and now her H4 is invalid ?
I have got all copies of my labor, I-140 etc. and it has been more than 180 days that I have got my EAD. Do I need anything else from my old employer ?

We recently assisted a client from Johannesburg, South Africa, regarding an H-1B specialty occupation visa. He was approved for an H-1B visa, but in order for our client to enter the United States, he must obtain an H-1B visa in his passport. Because the chances of visa issuance vary greatly depending on documentation and individual circumstances, we suggested that he go to the interview at the U.S. consulate very well prepared. We told him to take a certified copy of his entire H-1B package that was filed with the Immigration Service, along with his Form I-797 Approval Notice. We also suggested that he take original birth certificates, marriage certificate, and proof of financial support. He attended the interview this morning and his experience at the U.S. consulate in Johannesburg, South Africa was documented as follows.
“My wife, myself and our son had our interview at the U.S. Consulate here in Johannesburg this morning, at 9:00am. We duly arrived at 8:30am, had our relevant DS documents checked at the door, took a number, and waited for the “call.” At promptly 9:00am we were called to a booth, where our fingerprints were taken, the DS forms checked with the original I-797 form, and then told to go and sit down again. 10 minutes later, we went back to the booth, had our fingerprints taken again, and that was it. All visas approved, and to pay DHL the delivery costs. No questions asked, no documents asked for, no requirement of proof of copies of documents, nothing. All in all a painless and easy task.”

I would anticipate EAD to be processed in max of 3 months and AP in 2 months.
Would also add a buffer of 2 weeks (just in case).
Thanks Krishna...

Hi,
I am working for campany A on H1B visa. Company A sponsored my GC. My I-140 & I-485 are pending. I am offered a full time job at company B. Company B is not willing to apply for H1B, so i have to use my EAD. My current employer (Company A) agreed to let me go and supportive of my decision.
Question: If i use my EAD to join company B without informing USCIS, and at later point join my sponsoring employer (Company A) on same H1b which i have right now will it be a issue ?
Is there any way USCIS coming to know that i switched employees in between.
Thank you !!

My spouse currently is in H4. Is it possible to get his F1 visa stamped (with i-20 and other documents) within US? for example, in local USCIS offices.?
Also, does getting COS (h4 to f1) approved means, we can exit and enter US without stamping in INDIA?
Stamping within US is history - However, if COS is approved, your spouse can continue his studies without stamping, but if you exit the country then you need to stamp your F1 and return.

Just read that if you have sent one check for 1-140 & 485 then the whole package will be returned and you would have to refile your I140. If you have sent separate checks then they will just return the I485 part of your package.

The Conrad 30 J1 waiver program has been extended to September 09.
I believe IV core has been actively pursuing the Conrad 30 Improvement act. Can core please update us regarding the chances of this legislation passing in September 09 ?
Yes that is correct. IV core member Paskal has been leading this initiative from the front. He will provide an update. If you are part of the IV Physicians group, you may find more information from him.

6. Implications for Certain Employment-
Based Second and Third Categories
Absent legislation providing for additional visa numbers,
the Ombudsman estimates that some individuals under the
�India� category in the Visa Bulletin now may wait at least 10
years to complete immigration processing and obtain a green
card. This estimate assumes maximum annual preference category
and per country usage. If these projections are correct,
affected individuals will spend many years of their working
lives as applicants for green cards, i.e., as neither temporary
workers nor lawful permanent residents.
Looks like stage is set. People already in queue as of 07/2009 have 10 years and no one new can apply for next 10years :mad:

My wife who is on H-4 is planning to go to India in December this year and would need to appear at the chennai consulate for visa renewal. I am currently in my 7th year with my labor stuck in PBEC. I am due for my 8th year extension before April 2007 but am waiting to get my labor/I-140 so I could file for a 3 year extension.
My question/concern is about my wife's renewal. I keep hearing that ppl are facing issues like name check/security issues for visa renewal. My good friend and a relative are stuck in india for 8/6 months respectively waiting for a H-1B visa issuance (Embassy's already charged the visa issuance fee but have not stamped the visa on both passport citing various reasons).
What issues should I be concerned about? My visa has expired this past april. Would the embassy insist for my visa renewal. Would be a issue that only three months remain in my wife's H-4 renewal papers? I would greatly appreciate if ppl could share their experiences to help through this unnerving process.
